(The Lotus Sutra - Chapter IV Willing Acceptance 4)

Thereupon Mahākāśyapa, wanting to elaborate on the meaning of this further, spoke these verses: 

Today we have heard the Buddha’s words, 

And we are joyful and ecstatic 

At having attained such an unprecedented experience. 

The Buddha has said 

That the śrāvakas will be able to become buddhas. 

The most magnificent jewels 

Have been obtained without being sought or awaited. 

Suppose there were a young and inexperienced child 

Who left his father 

And ran away to a distant country. 

He wandered around for more than fifty years. 

And his worried father looked for him everywhere. 

The father, exhausted from searching for him, 

Remained in a city 

Where he had a house built 

And enjoyed the desires of the five senses. 

His family built up a vast wealth of much gold, silver, 

Mother-of-pearl, agate, pearls, lapis lazuli, 

Elephants, horses, cows, sheep, floats, carriages, 

Peasants, servants, and other employees. 

He earned interest through loans and deposits 

And had buyers and sellers 

Throughout all the other regions. 

He was surrounded by thousands of 

Myriads of koṭis of people, 

Who held him in awe; 

Always loved by the king, 

And deeply respected by the subjects 

And powerful families. 

There were many people 

Coming and going on different business. 

He was thus extremely wealthy 

And very powerful. 

And yet as he grew older, 

He increasingly worried about his son. 

Day and night he thought: 

Soon I will die. 

My foolish son has abandoned me 

For over fifty years. 

What should I do with the 

Various goods in my treasure houses? 

At that time the impoverished son 

Was going from town to town, 

From one country to another, 

Seeking food and clothing. 

Sometimes he obtained them, 

And sometimes he did not. 

He was emaciated from hunger, 

And his body was covered with scabies. 

Through his wanderings, 

He gradually reached the city 

Where his father lived, 

And, after having been employed 

At one place after another, 

Finally ended up at his father’s home. 

At that time the wealthy man 

Was sitting within the gate 

On a lion seat, sheltered by 

A huge jewel-covered canopy. 

He was surrounded by his attendants 

And guarded by his men. 

Some were counting gold, silver, and jewels; 

And some were settling the finances, 

While others were keeping the accounts. 

The impoverished son saw his father, 

Who was extremely wealthy and dignified. 

He wondered if this man were a king 

Or someone of equal rank. 

He became intimidated 

And wondered why he had gone there. 

He thought to himself: 

If I stay here for long 

I will be harassed and coerced into working. 

Thinking this, he ran away 

In search of a poor village 

Where he could find employment. 

At that time the wealthy man, 

Who was sitting on the lion seat, 

Saw his son in the distance. 

Though he recognized him he told no one, 

But sent his attendants 

To pursue him and bring him back. 

The impoverished son was terrified, 

Cried out, and collapsed on the ground 

In confusion, thinking: 

Since this man has seized me 

I shall certainly be killed. 

In vain did I come here

In search of food and clothing. 

The wealthy man knew that his son’s thoughts 

Were humble and foolish, 

And that he would not believe what he said, 

Nor believe that he was his father. 

Then using skillful means, 

He dispatched other men 

With squint eyes, of small stature 

And little dignity, saying to them: 

Tell him: 

We will employ you 

To sweep dung, at double your wages. 

When he heard this 

The impoverished son was overjoyed 

And returned to sweep dung and clean houses. 

The wealthy man 

Constantly watched his son 

Through the window and thought 

That his son was foolish 

And willingly did menial things. 

Then the wealthy man 

Put on torn and filthy clothes, 

And, holding a dung sweeper, 

Went out to his son. 

He approached his son 

Through this skillful means 

And said to him: 

Work hard! 

I have already increased your wages 

And given you more balm for your feet, 

Given you sufficient food 

And warm, thick mats. 

He further advised him, saying sternly: 

You should work diligently. 

Then he gently added:

I will treat you like my son. 

The wealthy man, being wise, 

Gradually gave him freedom of the house; 

And, after twenty years had passed, 

Let him become involved 

In the family business. 

He showed him the gold, 

Silver, pearls, and crystal, 

And made him learn about 

All aspects of the finances. 

Yet the impoverished son still lived 

In a thatched hut outside the gate, 

And considered himself poor, thinking 

That these things were not his own. 

The father knew that his son 

Was gradually becoming more noble; 

And, wanting to give him his fortune, 

He assembled the king, ministers, 

Kṣatriyas, householders, and relatives. 

He informed this great assembly, saying: 

This is my son. 

He left me and stayed away 

For fifty years. 

Twenty years have already passed 

Since I saw my son return here. 

Long ago I lost my son in a certain city 

And, after wandering around in search of him, 

I ended up staying here. 

I entrust to him all the houses and men 

That I possess. 

They are all at his disposal. 

The son thought: 

Long ago I was poor and of lowly aspiration. 

Now at my father’s place 

I have obtained an immense fortune 

Of such things as precious jewels and houses. 

I am overjoyed at having obtained 

Such an unprecedented experience! 

The Buddha is also like this. 

He knew that we yearned for the inferior teaching, 

So he never taught us 

That we should become buddhas. 

Yet he did tell us that we had attained 

The stage of noncorruption, 

That we had achieved the inferior vehicle,

And that we were the disciples of the śrāvaka vehicle. 

The Buddha told us to teach that 

Those who practiced the highest path 

Would be able to become buddhas. 

Accepting the Buddha’s teaching, 

We explained the highest path 

For the great bodhisattvas, 

Using various explanations and illustrations, 

And many figures of speech. 

The heirs of the Buddha 

Heard the teachings from us, 

Contemplated day and night, 

And practiced diligently. 

The buddhas instantly made their predictions saying: 

You will all be able to become buddhas in the future. 

We have explained the essence 

Of the treasured teaching of the buddhas 

Only for the sake of the bodhisattvas, 

But did not expound it for ourselves. 

Just as the impoverished son 

Who, after approaching his father, 

Learned of various things 

Yet did not want them, 

So, although we explained the treasure house 

Of the teaching of the buddhas, 

We never aspired to it. 

We thought that we had ourselves attained nirvana 

And considered this enough. 

We understood only this 

And did not think there was anything else. 

Even if we heard 

About the pure buddha lands 

And leading and inspiring sentient beings, 

We never rejoiced in it. 

Why is this? 

Because although we thought thus: 

Every existence is quiescent, 

Neither produced nor extinguished, 

Neither large nor small, 

Incorrupted and unconditioned, 

We felt no eagerness. 

For days and nights we neither craved for 

Nor were attached to the wisdom of the buddhas, 

Neither did we aspire to it. 

Furthermore, we ourselves thought, 

With regard to the Dharma itself, 

That this was the ultimate goal. 

After practicing the teaching 

Of emptiness day and night, 

We were able to shake off 

The suffering of the triple world, 

And, bearing our last bodies, 

Abided in the nirvana with residue. 

We were led and inspired by the buddhas 

So that our attainment of the path was not in vain; 

And we have already been able 

To pass on the benefits 

We received from the Buddha. 

Although we have expounded 

The teaching of the bodhisattvas 

To the heirs of the Buddha 

To seek the buddha path, 

We never longed for this teaching. 

Because he knew our minds 

The Leader turned away from us. 

At first he did not arouse our zeal 

With the explanation that there exists 

Real profit in the teaching. 

Just as the wealthy man, 

Who, knowing that his son was of lowly aspiration, 

Broadened his son’s mind using 

The power of skillful means, 

And only then entrusted his entire fortune to him. 

The Buddha is also exactly like this. 

He has manifested marvelous things 

But perceiving that we were content 

With lowly aspirations. 

He brought control to our minds using 

The power of skillful means, 

And only then taught us the great wisdom. 

Thus today we have obtained 

An unprecedented experience. 

The fact that we have now spontaneously obtained 

What we had not longed for 

Is just like the impoverished son 

Who obtained innumerable jewels. 

O Bhagavat! 

We have now obtained the path and its fruit 

And have obtained pure sight Into the incorruptible Dharma. 

For a long while we have maintained 

The pure conduct of the Buddha; 

Today for the first time 

We have obtained the results. 

For a long time we have practiced 

The pure path of discipline and integrity 

Based on the teaching of the Dharma King, 

And now we have attained 

The supreme fruit of noncorruption. 

We are now real śrāvakas 

And cause everyone to hear the words “buddha path.” 

We are now real arhats and shall be revered 

Among the devas, humans, māras, and Brahmas 

In all the worlds. 

The Bhagavat, the Great Benefactor, 

Benefits us with marvelous things 

By his inspiration and compassion. 

Who can repay him for it 

Even in immeasurable koṭis of kalpas! 

Even if one were to serve him 

With one’s hands and feet, 

Bow one’s head in reverence, 

And give all kinds of offerings, 

One could not repay him. 

Even if one were to bear him 

On one’s head and shoulders 

Out of deep respect, for as many kalpas 

As there are sands in the Ganges River, 

One could not repay him. 

Or even if one were to honor him 

With delicious food, 

Uncountable jeweled garments, 

Beddings, various medicines, 

Famed sandalwood from Mount Oxhead, 

And various precious jewels; 

Or by building temples, 

Spreading jeweled clothing and other such things 

For as many kalpas as there are sands in the Ganges River, 

One could not repay him. 

The buddhas have marvelous, immeasurable, 

Limitless, inconceivable great transcendent powers. 

They are the Kings of the Dharma. 

Without depravities and unconditioned, 

They are patient in all matters, 

For the sake of the humble ones. 

They teach the common people, 

Who are attached to tangible things, 

According to what is appropriate to them. 

All of the buddhas having attained 

Complete mastery over the Dharma, 

Perceive the various desires and intentions 

Of sentient beings and explain the teachings 

With innumerable illustrations, 

According to what is appropriate to them. 

Judging from the roots of good merit 

That sentient beings have planted in former lives, 

The buddhas perceive who are mature 

And who are not. 

Considering this in various ways 

And understanding the distinctions completely, 

The buddhas teach the single path, 

Explaining it as three 

In accordance with what is appropriate.

　長者於牖　　常見其子　　念子愚劣

　樂為鄙事　　於是長者　　著弊垢衣

　執除糞器　　往到子所　　方便附近

　語令勤作  　  既益汝價　    并塗足油　　

    飲食充足  　  薦席厚煖　    如是苦言　　

    汝當勤作   　又以軟語　 　若如我子　　

    長者有智   　漸令入出　 　經二十年　　

    執作家事  　  示其金銀　　真珠頗梨　　

    諸物出入    　皆使令知　　猶處門外　　

    止宿草庵    　自念貧事　　我無此物　　

    父知子心    　漸已廣大　　欲與財物　　

    即聚親族    　國王大臣　　剎利居士　　

    於此大眾  　  說是我子　　捨我他行　　

    經五十歲    　自見子來　　已二十年　　

    昔於某城    　而失是子　　周行求索　　

    遂來至此    　凡我所有　　舍宅人民　　

    悉以付之    　恣其所用　　子念昔貧　　

    志意下劣    　今於父所　　大獲珍寶　　

    并及舍宅    　一切財物　　甚大歡喜　　

    得未曾有    　佛亦如是　　知我樂小　　

    未曾說言    　汝等作佛　　而說我等　　

    得諸無漏    　成就小乘　　聲聞弟子　　

    佛勅我等    　說最上道　　修習此者　　

    當得成佛    　我承佛教　　為大菩薩　　

    以諸因緣    　種種譬喻　　若干言辭　　

    說無上道    　諸佛子等　　從我聞法　　

    日夜思惟    　精勤修習　　是時諸佛　　

    即授其記    　汝於來世　　當得作佛　　

    一切諸佛    　祕藏之法　　但為菩薩　　

    演其實事    　而不為我　　說斯真要　　

    如彼窮子    　得近其父　　雖知諸物　　

    心不希取    　我等雖說　　佛法寶藏　　

    自無志願    　亦復如是　　我等內滅　　

    自謂為足  　  唯了此事　　更無餘事　　

    我等若聞    　淨佛國土　　教化眾生　　

    都無欣樂    　所以者何　　一切諸法　　

    皆悉空寂    　無生無滅　　無大無小　　

    無漏無為       如是思惟　　不生喜樂　　

    我等長夜  　 於佛智慧　　無貪無著　　

    無復志願   　而自於法　　謂是究竟　　

    我等長夜   　修習空法　　得脫三界　　

    苦惱之患   　住最後身　　有餘涅槃　　

    佛所教化   　得道不虛　　則為已得　　

    報佛之恩   　我等雖為　　諸佛子等　　

    說菩薩法   　以求佛道　　而於是法　　

    永無願樂   　導師見捨　　觀我心故　　

    初不勸進   　說有實利　　如富長者　　

    知子志劣   　以方便力　　柔伏其心　　

    然後乃付   　一切財物  　佛亦如是　　

    現希有事　   知樂小者  　以方便力　　

    調伏其心   　乃教大智  　我等今日　　

    得未曾有　　非先所望  　而今自得　　

    如彼窮子　　得無量寶  　世尊我今　　

    得道得果　　於無漏法  　得清淨眼　　

    我等長夜　　持佛淨戒  　始於今日　　

    得其果報　　法王法中  　久修梵行　　

    今得無漏　　無上大果  　我等今者　　

    真是聲聞　　以佛道聲  　令一切聞　　

    我等今者　　真阿羅漢  　於諸世間　　

    天人魔梵　　普於其中  　應受供養　　

    世尊大恩　　以希有事  　憐愍教化　　

    利益我等　　無量億劫  　誰能報者　　

    手足供給　　頭頂禮敬  　一切供養　　

    皆不能報　　若以頂戴  　兩肩荷負　　

    於恒沙劫　　盡心恭敬  　又以美饍  　

    無量寶衣　　及諸臥具  　種種湯藥　　

    牛頭栴檀　　及諸珍寶  　以起塔廟　　

    寶衣布地　　如斯等事  　以用供養　　

    於恒沙劫　　亦不能報  　諸佛希有　　

    無量無邊　　不可思議  　大神通力　　

    無漏無為　　諸法之王  　能為下劣　　

    忍于斯事　　取相凡夫  　隨宜為說　　

    諸佛於法　　得最自在  　知諸眾生　　

    種種欲樂　　及其志力  　隨所堪任　　

    以無量喻　　而為說法  　隨諸眾生　　

    宿世善根　　又知成熟  　未成熟者　　

    種種籌量　　分別知已  　於一乘道　　

    隨宜說三
