锯陀兽剥皮救猎师

 

从前,有个猎师奉王命捕获并剥取一种叫锯陀的兽皮。猎人在山里寻找了好多日,所带的干粮和水也都用完了,却不见锯陀兽的踪影。正值盛夏,酷暑难耐,猎人已危在旦夕,低吟哀号:“谁有慈悲之心,快来救救我吧!”锯陀兽听到后,顿生怜悯之心,遂把猎师抱起来,放入冰凉的泉水之中,又捡来瓜果,供他食用。猎人渐渐恢复过来。当他睁眼看见锯陀兽时,甚感惊讶,心想:这正是国王所要之兽呀!在垂危之际,正是它救了我的命,又怎能害它呢?但是,若不能捕获它,又如何向国王交代呢?想到这里,猎人悲叹不已。锯陀兽得知猎人的心事后,非常同情他的遭遇,就安慰他说:“你不要忧愁烦恼,尽管随意剥取我身上的皮吧。今天,我已将自己施舍与你,以此功德,誓求成佛。”


猎人听罢,就将锯陀兽的皮剥了下来,完成了国王交代的任务。

The Golden-haired Lion Gets Peeled to Save the Hunter


Once upon a time, a hunter, upon the request of the king, was ordered to hunt and peel off the skin of a golden-haired lion. The hunter spent quite a few days in the mountain in search of the beast. As his food and water were running short, he still found no golden-haired lion in sight. It was mid-summer and the intense heat was really unbearable. The hunter was now at the edge of death. He groaned in whisper, “Whoever has mercy, please come and save me!” The golden-haired lion heard it and took pity on him. It held him up and put him into a cold spring. Then it collected some fruits and berries for him. The hunter came to himself. When he woke up to see the golden-haired lion, he felt rather surprised, thinking, “This is the very beast that the king is after. But it saved my life when I was at the edge of death, how can I kill it? But if I cannot capture it, how can I account to the king?” Thinking of this, the hunter kept sighing with sadness. When the golden-haired lion learnt it, he sympathized with his experience and comforted him by saying, “Don’t be worried or vexed, you can take as much skin as you like from me. Today, I have been totally devoted to you. With this as a virtue, I vow to attain Buddhahood.”


At these words, the hunter peeled off the skin of the golden-haired lion, thus fulfilling the mission assigned to him by the king.
