Buddha - Do not seek happiness for yourself! Seeking liberation for all sentient beings is the Dharma! 佛陀-不為自己求安樂！只为眾生求解脫就是佛法！

Ananda asked the Buddha: What are the reasons why all living beings come into the world?

The Buddha said to Ananda: All living beings are born into this world due to the twelve links of dependent origination and the six realms of reincarnation! When I was a prince, I observed that the long-standing problems of birth, aging, sickness, death and suffering existed in this world, and that living beings were unable to escape from them? I can't let go of my determination to find a way to crack it! After escaping from the palace, he studied under few masters and worked hard for six years but still couldn't find a way to crack the crack! Afterwards, he came to the river, wandering hungry and cold, and a river girl helped him by giving him gruel, saving him from starvation. After that, a zither player enlightened him about the doctrine of the middle way! After sometime, I swore that if I couldn’t realize the way of life and death here, I would never leave! On a night of fateful gathering! In deep meditation, I observed that all living beings are born into this world due to the twelve links of dependent origination and the actual results of the six realms of reincarnation! Therefore, I will preach the Dharma to the vast number of ignorant beings in the coming long time. I hope that all monks can follow my teachings and spread this Dharma widely! Remember! Remember!

阿難問世尊；众身以什麼因缘来到世間？

佛言阿難；眾生因十二因緣六道輪迴因缘果報來投生世间！我做王子时期觀察到世間竟然有生老,病,死,苦的長久問題存在,众生無法從中解脫？我無法釋懷決心要找到破解之法！逃出皇宮之後拜師學藝苦休六年始終沒有找到破解之法！ 之後來到河邊飢寒漂泊之下得一河女以乳糜相助免於餓死之后经琴師開解中道之論！ 過後發誓倘若我不能在此地了悟生死之道绝不离开！ 在一個因缘聚会的夜晚！我在深层的禅定中观察到众生因十二因缘和六道輪迴的实证果報来降生世间！因此我在接下来的長时间里为廣大無明众生廣为说法.希望眾僧众能依教奉行以此法廣為流傳！切記！切記！
