The Lotus Sutra Chapter IV Willing Acceptance

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.

窮子驚喚，迷悶躄地：『是人執我，必當見殺，

窮子見有人追捕，驚叫不已，昏倒在地，心想，此人抓我，必殺無疑，

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.

何用衣食，使我至此？』長者知子，愚癡狹劣，不信我言，不信是父。

我怎麽會因爲尋衣求食而來到這個地方。摩诃迦葉接着說偈道：“那位長者知道自己的兒子愚癡低劣，是不會相信他的話，也不會相信他是自己的父親的，
