于是佛陀拿出一把刀子,从他自己的手臂上割下一块肉。他把这块肉给了老鹰, 但是老鹰还是抱怨, 鸽子肉比这多多了 .因此佛陀又从他的手上割下一块肉,但是已经快切到骨头了,肉更少了。最后他把整个手臂的肉都割了下来,但是这还是不如鸽子重。
The eagle asked the Buddha, Are you sorry youve ruined your own arm?
老鹰问佛陀:你伤了自己的手臂不后悔吗?
The Buddha answered, I am not in the least bit sorry. My mission is to save all living things. What difference does a bit of flesh off my arm make?
佛陀回答道:一点也不。我的使命就是要拯救所有的生灵。我的手上少了一点肉又有什么关系呢?
The eagle sneered, Youre just saying that to sound good.
老鹰讥笑他:说起来好听。
The Buddha said, If my words are the sincere truth, may my arm grow back as good as new. When the Buddha made this oath, the flesh on his arm did grow back, just like new.
佛陀说,如果我的话真实不虚,就让我臂上的肉重新长出来吧。当佛陀发了这个誓愿后,他手上的肉重新长了出来,犹如新生。
When the eagle saw this, he flew up into the sky and revealed his true shape: he was the Emperor of Heaven! He had heard that the Buddha was kind,so he had come to test him. He showed his deepest respect to the Buddha and then flew away, singing great praises for the Buddhas mercy.
