阿育王庄严塔寺功德
过去，有一位阿育王，在国境内建造了一千两百座塔寺。后来，阿育王生了大病，有一位僧人前往探视，一见到僧人，阿育王不禁悲从中来，悲伤不已。
僧人劝慰道：「大王您这一生所作的功德不可计数，应当放宽心胸，不要觉得心有遗憾。」
阿育王回答：「假使死亡到来，我也不会觉得有遗憾。我之所以悲伤，是因为了要庄严这一千两百座塔寺，特定制作了金缕幡盖一千两百枚，本来希望能亲自悬挂在塔上、散花供养，这样供养塔寺之事才算完备，无奈却得了重病，恐怕无法圆满心愿，所以感到悲伤难过。」
僧人一听，说道：「好！」随即双手合十，虔诚祝愿，令阿育王得见此世界中的所有塔，并示现神通，令一千两百座塔皆现于阿育王面前。阿育王一见，心生大欢喜，病已好了大半，于是取来金幡盖与金色花，欲亲自悬挂于塔上，此时塔自动升降于阿育王手能及之处，让阿育王得以亲自悬挂供养。
完成心愿后，阿育王的病也痊愈了，随即更发大愿心，因此得以延寿二十五年，此后更广作功德，心不退转。

The Merits of King Aśoka’s Adornment of Stupas and Monasteries
In the past, there was a King Aśoka who constructed one thousand two hundred stupas and monasteries within his realm. Later, he fell gravely ill. A monk came to visit him, and upon seeing the monk, Aśoka was overwhelmed with sorrow and could not restrain his grief.
The monk consoled him, saying: “Great King, the merits you have accumulated throughout your life are beyond measure. You should broaden your mind and not feel any regret.”
Aśoka replied: “Even if death were to come, I would have no regret. The reason for my sorrow is this: in order to adorn these one thousand two hundred stupas and monasteries, I specially commissioned one thousand two hundred golden canopies. I had hoped to hang them upon the stupas myself and offer flowers in veneration, so that the act of offering would be complete. Yet now I have fallen gravely ill and fear I cannot fulfill this wish, and thus I feel deep sorrow.”
Hearing this, the monk said, “Very well!” He immediately joined his palms and made a sincere aspiration, enabling Aśoka to behold all the stupas in this world. Manifesting spiritual powers, he caused all one thousand two hundred stupas to appear before Aśoka. Upon seeing them, Aśoka was filled with great joy, and more than half of his illness was cured. He then took the golden canopies and golden flowers, wishing to hang them upon the stupas himself. At that moment, the stupas rose and descended to a height within his reach, allowing him to personally hang and offer them.
After fulfilling his wish, Aśoka’s illness was completely cured. He then generated an even greater vow, and as a result, his lifespan was extended by twenty-five years. Thereafter, he continued to cultivate vast merits, with his resolve never regressing.
