佛有圓滿的願望
.
相傳民間的《異聞錄》裡有一則故事：
.
很久很久以前，有一隻修行的狐狸到佛陀那兒求法。
佛陀說：「修學此法須先發菩提心，依教奉行，還要精進修行，慈悲利益他人，不斷積累功德，直到你長出第九條尾巴，就是你覺悟得道的時候。
.
條件是，你每修行一百年就會長出一條尾巴，當長出第八條尾巴時，就必須去幫助一個有緣人實現一個善願。完成後，你會長出第九條新尾巴，但是從前的舊尾巴也會馬上脫落一條。
.
長出第九條新尾巴，同時脫落一條舊尾巴，那還是八尾狐狸？怎樣算都不可能修煉成九尾狐狸呀，但牠並沒有因此退縮，依照佛陀教戒，如法而行，並且更加虔誠精進。
.
上千年的時光翩然而逝，這只狐狸幫了成千上萬的人們實現願望，可是牠仍然只有八條尾巴。
.
有一天，在暴風雨中，八尾狐狸在回藏身處途中，遇到一個被狼群圍攻的少年。牠奮不顧身，以少勝多趕走了狼群，救下了少年。少年非常喜歡這只狐狸，卻遲遲不肯開口說出他的願望，八尾狐為了想盡快達成願望，只好每天跟著少年。
.
這天，少年突然問八尾狐：「你是不是所有願望都能實現？」八尾狐很開心又期盼的的點點頭。
.
然後，少年一字一頓說：「那我的願望就是『但.願.你.有.九.條.尾.巴』。」
.
此時，八尾狐呆住了，烏溜溜的小眼睛中，充滿了感恩和感動，牠終於領悟了這些年來佛陀的深意：「原來，利益別人的同時，就是成就自己的開始。」上千年來，太多人只求成全自己，卻忘了利益他人。
.
八尾狐的第九條尾巴，竟是「少年」簡單而又純淨的心念，為牠達成的。
.
八尾狐狸救了少年，少年圓滿了狐狸的修行，對九尾狐狸來說，這是歷經千年的等待，得來不易啊。
.
八尾狐狸匍匐在少年面前，舔了舔他的手，慢慢站起身，在一片耀眼美麗的金色光芒中，牠長出了第九條尾巴，然後隨著光芒消失了。
.
後來，少年一生兒孫滿堂，富貴滿盈，子孫們也各個才氣出眾，堪稱是個官爵世家，幸福且美滿。

Buddha has a perfect wish
.
According to legend, “Yiwenlu” (records of unusual stories from ancient China) there is a story:
.
A long time ago, there was a practicing fox seeking the dharma from the Buddha.
The Buddha said: “To learn this method, one must first have Bodhicitta, practice according to the Dharma and practice with diligence. Benefit others through compassion and accumulate merit until you grow the ninth tail. That is when you achieve perfect enlightenment.
.
On the condition that you grow a tail every 100 years, you must help a destined person achieve a benevolent aspiration when you grow the eighth tail. When done, the new ninth tail will grow, but an old tail will immediately drop off”.
.
As the ninth new tail grows, an old tail will drop off. Hence the fox will still be left with eight tails. It is impossible to cultivate to become a fox with nine tails. But the fox did not give up following Buddha’s guidance and acted according to his teaching. It became more devout and diligent instead.
.
Thousands of years passed and the fox had helped thousands of people realize their aspirations but yet had only eight tails.
.
One day, during the storm, on the way to its hiding place, the eight-tailed fox encountered a young man who was surrounded by a pack of wolves. It dashed bravely towards the wolves and even though it was outnumbered, the fox managed to drive away the wolves and saved him. The young man like the fox very much but was reluctant to talk about his wish. The eight-tailed fox wanted to quickly achieve his aspiration and so followed the young man every day.
.
One day, the young man suddenly asked the eight-tailed Fox: “Is it true that you can help me achieve all my aspirations?” The eight-tail fox nodded happily and looked at the man eagerly.
.
Then the young man said each word slowly: “Then. My. Desire. Is. For. You. To. Have. Your. Ninth. Tail.”
.
At that moment, the eight-tailed fox was stunned; it was so touched that its small dark eyes were filled with gratitude. The fox finally realized the profound meaning of the Buddha’s teaching all these years: “It turns out that when you benefit others, you are beginning to accomplish yourself.” For thousands of years, too many people just want to fulfill themselves but forget the interests of others.
.
The ninth tail of the eight-tail fox was possible due to a pure and simple thought of the young man.
.
The eight-tailed fox saved the young man, who in turned fulfilled the practice of the fox. To the nine-tailed fox, it was a long wait that was not easy to go through.
.
The eight-tailed fox crawled in front of the young man, licked his hand and slowly stood up. In glittering, beautiful golden rays, it grew the ninth tail and then disappeared along with the brilliant rays.
.
Later, the young man had many descendants and led a life with riches and honor. His children and grandchildren were also with outstanding talent and they could be considered a family of officials, happy and blessed.
