(The Lotus Sutra - Chapter XII Devadatta 1)

The Buddha then addressed the assembly of bodhisattvas, and also the devas, humans, and the fourfold assembly, saying: “In the past, immeasurable kalpas ago, I tirelessly sought the Lotus Sutra. Throughout many kalpas I always became a king and made a vow to seek highest enlightenment. My mind became irreversible. Wanting to fulfill the six perfections I diligently carried out practices: unstintingly giving elephants, horses, the seven precious treasures, countries and cities, wives and children, male and female servants, my head, eyes, marrow and brains, the flesh of my body, hands, and feet, without stinginess, not even hesitating to give my own life. 

“At that time the lifespan of the people in the world was immeasurable. In order to seek the Dharma I abandoned my kingdom and abdicated my throne to the crown prince. Beating a drum I proclaimed to the four directions that I was seeking the Dharma, saying: I will be as a servant for the rest of my life to whosoever can teach me the Mahayana.

“At that time there was a sage who came to this king and said: I possess the Mahayana teaching called the Lotus Sutra. If you faithfully obey me, I will expound it to you. 

“Having heard the sage, the king became joyful and ecstatic and, accompanying the sage, he did everything he was asked. He gathered fruits, drew water, collected firewood, and provided meals. He even provided his own body as a bed for the sage. Yet he never tired in either body or mind and in this way served the sage for one thousand years. For the sake of the Dharma he served him diligently, making certain the sage never lacked for anything.”

(妙法蓮華經第十二品 提婆達多之1)

爾時佛告諸菩薩及天人四眾。吾於過去無量劫中。求法華經無有懈惓。於多劫中常作國王。發願求於無上菩提。心不退轉。為欲滿足六波羅蜜。勤行布施。心無悋惜象馬七珍國城妻子奴婢僕從。頭目髓腦身肉手足不惜軀命。時世人民壽命無量。為於法故。捐捨國位委政太子。擊鼓宣令四方求法。誰能為我說大乘者。吾當終身供給走使。時有仙人來白王言。我有大乘。名妙法華經。若不違我當為宣說。王聞仙言歡喜踊躍。即隨仙人供給所須。採菓汲水拾薪設食。乃至以身而為床座。身心無惓。于時奉事經於千歲。為於法故。精勤給侍令無所乏。
