双语读典范：百喻经弁言
《百喻经》全文两万余字，布局情势单一，每篇都接纳两步式，第一步是讲故事，是引子，第二步是比喻，论述一个梵学义理。它从梵文译成华文，距今已有一千五百多年的汗青。上面，咱们就经由过程这篇双语浏览重温一下它的弁言吧。
闻如是：临时佛住王舍城，在鹊封竹园，与诸大比丘、菩萨摩诃萨及诸八部三万六千人俱。
Thus have I heard. Once upon a time Sakyamuni, The Enlightened One, was staying in a park called Karanda Bamboo Grove, near Rajagriha City. He held a meeting with thirty six thousand men including great monks, Bodhisattvas, Mahasattvas and the eight groups of supernatural beings.
是时会中有异学梵志五百人俱，从座而起，白佛言“吾闻佛道洪深，能干及者，故来归问。唯愿说之。”
On that occasion, there were five hundred Brahmans in the assembly. One of them rose from his seat and said to Sakyamuni, the Buddha: "We have learned that Buddhism is so profound that there is no parallel to it. So we have come to ask you to explain it to us."
佛言：“善哉!”
Very well, The Enlightened One said.
问曰：“全国为无为无?”
Is the universe existent or non-existent? The Brahman asked.
答曰：“亦有亦无。”
It is both existent and non-existent, the Enlightened one replied.
梵志曰：“此刻有者，云何言无?此刻无者，云何言有?”
The Brahman said, "How can you say non-existent of what is now existent? How can you say existent of what is now non-existent?"
答曰：“生者言有，死者言无。故说‘或有或无’。”
The Enlightened One replied, "The living say it is existent, but the dead say it is non-existent. Consequently, I say it is both existent and non-existent."
问曰：“人从何生?”
He asked, "What does man live on?"
答曰：“人从谷而生。”
The Enlightened One replied, "Man lives on cereals."
问曰：“五谷从何而生?”
He asked, "Where do the five cereals come from?"
答曰：“五谷从四大火风而生。”
They come from the four elements, fire, wind, water and earth, The Enlightened One replied.
问曰：“四大火风从何而生?”
Where do the four elements come from? the Brahman asked.
答曰：“四大火风从空而生。”
They come from void. The Enlightened One replied.
问曰：“空从何生?”
Where does the void come from? He asked.
答曰：“从无统统生。”
It comes from nothingness. The Enlightened One replied.
问曰：“无统统从何而生?”
Where does nothingness come from? He asked.
答曰：“从天然生。”
From the nature. The Enlightened One replied.
问曰：“天然从何而生?”
Where does nature come from? He asked.
答曰：“从泥洹而生。”
From Nirvana. The Enlightened One replied.
问曰：“泥洹从何而生?”
Where does Nirvana come from? He asked.
佛曰：“汝今问事何故尔深?泥洹者是不生不死法。”
Why do you ask about such profound things. Nirvana is the law of non-birth and immortality. The Enlightened One replied.
问曰：“佛泥洹未?”
Have you attained Nirvana? He asked.
答曰：“我未泥洹。”
I haven't reached Nirvana yet. The Enlightened One replied.
“若未泥洹，云何得悉泥洹常乐?”
If you haven't reached Nirvana yet, how do you know Nirvana is an eternal bliss? He asked.
佛言：“我今问汝，全国众生为苦为乐?”
Now let me ask you whether the life of the sentient beings in the world is happy or miserable, the Enlightened One said.
答曰：“众生甚苦。”
I view it as very miserable. He replied.
佛言：“云何名苦?”
What do you mean by miserable? The Enlightened One said.
答曰：“我见众存亡时，苦痛难忍，故知死苦。”
After seeing all the dying men whose pains are unbearable. I know death is miserable. He replied.
佛言：“汝今不死，亦知死苦;我见十方诸佛不生不死，故知泥洹常乐。”
Now you are not dead, nevertheless, you know death is miserable. I have seen all Buddhas of the ten directions in space having neither rebirth nor death. I know, therefore, Nirvana is an eternal bliss. The Enlightened One said.
五百梵志心开意解，求受五戒，悟须陀洹果，复坐仍旧。
Those five hundred Brahmans were satisfied and thus understood what the Enlightened One had said. They were then willing to accept the five commandments and asked to be disciples of Gauthama Buddha. Finally, they obtained enlightenment of the Sotapanna's degree. They sat down as before.
佛言：“汝等善听，今为汝广说众喻。”
The Enlightened One said, "You all listen carefully to me. I'll give you an extensive talk of fables."

口语翻译:
有一天，佛和他的门生们在王舍城的一个鹊封竹园里会议，座中有诸大比丘，诸大菩萨，和天龙八部等。在这个嘉会中，另有从别处来的异学梵志五百人，他们都同心专心想听佛法，对佛有所扣问，当佛出来坐定后，他们便从座上站起来讲∶“咱们传闻佛法很是弘大和深远，以是特来就教。”佛就叫他们提出标题问题，逐一加以回覆，因而那五百梵志，都获得了心领领悟，大白佛法的真义。就在佛座下心悦诚服受了五戒。接著，当他们从头坐回坐位今后，佛就对他们说∶“你们要好难听，我此刻给你们说各类比方。”
