如是我聞：
一時，世尊在波羅奈國仙人墮處鹿野園中，與大苾芻眾二萬人俱；菩薩摩訶薩一萬二千，其名曰：師子菩薩摩訶薩、師子意菩薩摩訶薩、善住意菩薩摩訶薩、勝思惟菩薩摩訶薩、持世菩薩摩訶薩、人授菩薩摩訶薩、水天菩薩摩訶薩、寶積菩薩摩訶薩、隱密菩薩摩訶薩、賢護菩薩摩訶薩、電天菩薩摩訶薩、遍照菩薩摩訶薩、智積菩薩摩訶薩、不休息菩薩摩訶薩、不空見菩薩摩訶薩、慈氏菩薩摩訶薩、妙吉祥童真菩薩摩訶薩等；復有二萬天子，所謂善道天子、安意天子等，是諸天子，皆悉安住大乘法中，並余無數百千大眾，咸悉恭敬圍繞世尊，聽受說法。
爾時會中有一菩薩摩訶薩名勝華藏，從座而起，偏袒右肩右膝著地，合掌頂禮前白佛言：「世尊！我有所問，惟愿如來、應供、正等正覺，哀愍聽許，略為宣說。」
佛言：「勝華藏！如來、應供、正等正覺，隨有問者，即為開曉。今恣汝問，當爲汝說。」
爾時勝華藏菩薩摩訶薩白佛
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本 如是我聞： 一時，世尊在波羅奈國（古印度地名）仙人墮處（仙人居住的地方）鹿野園中，與兩萬名大比丘（佛教出家男眾）在一起；還有一萬二千名菩薩摩訶薩（大菩薩），他們的名字是：師子菩薩摩訶薩（獅子菩薩，大菩薩）、師子意菩薩摩訶薩（獅子意菩薩，大菩薩）、善住意菩薩摩訶薩（善住意菩薩，大菩薩）、勝思惟菩薩摩訶薩（殊勝思維菩薩，大菩薩）、持世菩薩摩訶薩（持世菩薩，大菩薩）、人授菩薩摩訶薩（人授菩薩，大菩薩）、水天菩薩摩訶薩（水天菩薩，大菩薩）、寶積菩薩摩訶薩（寶積菩薩，大菩薩）、隱密菩薩摩訶薩（隱密菩薩，大菩薩）、賢護菩薩摩訶薩（賢護菩薩，大菩薩）、電天菩薩摩訶薩（電天菩薩，大菩薩）、遍照菩薩摩訶薩（遍照菩薩，大菩薩）、智積菩薩摩訶薩（智積菩薩，大菩薩）、不休息菩薩摩訶薩（不休息菩薩，大菩薩）、不空見菩薩摩訶薩（不空見菩薩，大菩薩）、慈氏菩薩摩訶薩（彌勒菩薩，大菩薩）、妙吉祥童真菩薩摩訶薩（文殊菩薩，大菩薩）等；還有兩萬名天子，如善道天子、安意天子等，這些天子都安住在大乘佛法中，以及其他無數百千的大眾，都恭敬地圍繞著世尊，聽受佛法。 當時，會中有一位菩薩摩訶薩，名叫勝華藏，從座位上站起來，袒露右肩，右膝跪地，合掌向佛頂禮，然後對佛說：『世尊！我有一些問題想請教，希望如來、應供、正等正覺（佛的十個稱號之一），慈悲允許，為我簡略地宣說。』 佛說：『勝華藏！如來、應供、正等正覺，對於任何提問的人，都會為他們開示講解。現在你可以隨意提問，我將為你解答。』 這時，勝華藏菩薩摩訶薩對佛說：
【English Translation】 English version Thus have I heard: At one time, the World Honored One was in the Deer Park at the place of the fallen ascetics in the country of Varanasi (ancient Indian city), together with 20,000 great Bhikshus (Buddhist monks); and 12,000 Bodhisattva Mahasattvas (great Bodhisattvas), whose names were: Simha Bodhisattva Mahasattva (Lion Bodhisattva, great Bodhisattva), Simhamati Bodhisattva Mahasattva (Lion Mind Bodhisattva, great Bodhisattva), Subhuti Bodhisattva Mahasattva (Well-Dwelling Mind Bodhisattva, great Bodhisattva), Uttamamati Bodhisattva Mahasattva (Supreme Thought Bodhisattva, great Bodhisattva), Dharanimdhara Bodhisattva Mahasattva (Earth Holder Bodhisattva, great Bodhisattva), Manudatta Bodhisattva Mahasattva (Manudatta Bodhisattva, great Bodhisattva), Varunadeva Bodhisattva Mahasattva (Water God Bodhisattva, great Bodhisattva), Ratnakara Bodhisattva Mahasattva (Treasure Accumulation Bodhisattva, great Bodhisattva), Guhyaka Bodhisattva Mahasattva (Secret Bodhisattva, great Bodhisattva), Bhadrapala Bodhisattva Mahasattva (Virtuous Protector Bodhisattva, great Bodhisattva), Vidyuddeva Bodhisattva Mahasattva (Lightning God Bodhisattva, great Bodhisattva), Samantaprabha Bodhisattva Mahasattva (Universal Light Bodhisattva, great Bodhisattva), Jnanakara Bodhisattva Mahasattva (Wisdom Accumulation Bodhisattva, great Bodhisattva), Anavarata Bodhisattva Mahasattva (Unceasing Bodhisattva, great Bodhisattva), Amoghadarshana Bodhisattva Mahasattva (Infallible Vision Bodhisattva, great Bodhisattva), Maitreya Bodhisattva Mahasattva (Maitreya Bodhisattva, great Bodhisattva), Manjushri Kumara Bodhisattva Mahasattva (Manjushri Youth Bodhisattva, great Bodhisattva), and others; there were also 20,000 Devas (gods), such as the Deva of Good Path, the Deva of Peaceful Mind, and so on. These Devas all dwelt in the Mahayana Dharma (Great Vehicle Buddhism), and countless other hundreds and thousands of beings, all respectfully surrounded the World Honored One, listening to the Dharma. At that time, in the assembly, there was a Bodhisattva Mahasattva named Shrestha-Pushpa-Garbha (Superior Flower Treasury), who rose from his seat, bared his right shoulder, knelt on his right knee, and with palms joined, bowed to the Buddha and said: 'World Honored One! I have some questions to ask. I beseech the Tathagata (Thus Come One), Arhat (Worthy One), Samyak-sambuddha (Perfectly Enlightened One), to compassionately allow me and briefly explain them.' The Buddha said: 'Shrestha-Pushpa-Garbha! The Tathagata, Arhat, Samyak-sambuddha, will enlighten and explain to anyone who asks. Now you may ask freely, and I will answer you.' Then, Shrestha-Pushpa-Garbha Bodhisattva Mahasattva said to the Buddha:
言：「世尊！菩薩摩訶薩云何得不退轉于阿耨多羅三藐三菩提，成就五神通，得如幻三摩地？得是三摩地已，諸有眾生善根成熟，即以自神力如應現化，隨諸眾生所起信解，即為說法，而令速證阿耨多羅三藐三菩提。」
佛告勝華藏菩薩摩訶薩言：「善哉善哉！勝華藏！汝今善問如是等義。汝於過去，已曾親近俱胝那庾多百千諸佛，于諸佛所深種善根，而復能為一切眾生起悲愍心。汝應善聽，極善作意，今為汝說。」於是勝華藏菩薩受教而聽。
佛言：「勝華藏！當知有一法，若菩薩摩訶薩能具足者，即得如幻三摩地。得是三摩地已，諸有眾生善根成熟，即以自神力如應現化，隨諸眾生所起信解，即為說法，而令速證阿耨多羅三藐三菩提。勝華藏！所言一法者，謂無依止法。若菩薩摩訶薩成就此法已，乃至遍三界中不作依止想，若內若外悉無依止，由如是故，即具正見；以正見故，得正相應及正所行，是故獲得無障礙慧；慧無礙故，心亦無礙，于無礙心中即起正行。勝華藏！云何菩薩能起正行？謂了一切法悉從緣生，于緣生法中無有少法而實積聚。何以故？以彼諸緣皆不實故，是中雲何有法可生？若法緣生，即是無生，是故一切法皆悉無生。菩薩若能如實了知一切法無生，即得成就諸菩薩道。所有一切眾
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本：勝華藏菩薩問：『世尊！菩薩摩訶薩如何才能不退轉于阿耨多羅三藐三菩提（無上正等正覺），成就五神通，獲得如幻三摩地（如夢幻般的禪定）？獲得這種三摩地后，如果眾生的善根成熟，就能以自身的神力，根據眾生的根性和理解，顯現相應的化身，為他們說法，使他們迅速證得阿耨多羅三藐三菩提。』 佛告訴勝華藏菩薩摩訶薩：『善哉善哉！勝華藏！你問的這些道理很好。你過去曾親近過無數的佛，在諸佛那裡深深種下善根，而且還能為一切眾生髮起悲憫之心。你應該好好聽，認真思考，我現在為你解說。』於是勝華藏菩薩接受教誨，專心聽講。 佛說：『勝華藏！你要知道有一種法，如果菩薩摩訶薩能夠具足，就能獲得如幻三摩地。獲得這種三摩地后，如果眾生的善根成熟，就能以自身的神力，根據眾生的根性和理解，顯現相應的化身，為他們說法，使他們迅速證得阿耨多羅三藐三菩提。勝華藏！所說的一法，就是無依止法。如果菩薩摩訶薩成就了這種法，乃至在遍佈三界（欲界、色界、無色界）中，都不執著于任何事物，無論是內在還是外在，都沒有任何依止。因為這樣，就能獲得正見；有了正見，就能得到正確的相應和正確的行為，因此獲得無障礙的智慧；智慧無礙，心也無礙，在無礙的心中就能產生正確的行為。勝華藏！菩薩如何才能產生正確的行為呢？就是了知一切法都是因緣而生，在因緣所生的法中，沒有絲毫的實體可以積聚。為什麼呢？因為那些因緣都不是真實的，在這種情況下，怎麼會有法產生呢？如果法是因緣而生，那就是無生，所以一切法都是無生的。菩薩如果能夠如實了知一切法無生，就能成就菩薩道。所有一切功德，都將隨之而來。』
【English Translation】 English version: Then, the Bodhisattva Mahasattva said, 'World Honored One! How does a Bodhisattva Mahasattva attain non-retrogression from Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi (supreme perfect enlightenment), achieve the five supernormal powers, and obtain the Samadhi of Illusion (a meditative state like a dream)? Having obtained this Samadhi, if the good roots of sentient beings are mature, they can use their own divine power to manifest appropriate transformations according to the faith and understanding of sentient beings, and preach the Dharma to them, enabling them to quickly attain Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi.' The Buddha said to the Bodhisattva Mahasattva Superior Flower Treasury, 'Excellent, excellent! Superior Flower Treasury! You have asked well about these meanings. In the past, you have been close to countless Buddhas, planted deep good roots with them, and are able to generate compassion for all sentient beings. You should listen well and pay close attention, and I will now explain it to you.' Thereupon, the Bodhisattva Superior Flower Treasury received the teaching and listened attentively. The Buddha said, 'Superior Flower Treasury! You should know that there is one Dharma, which if a Bodhisattva Mahasattva can fully possess, they will obtain the Samadhi of Illusion. Having obtained this Samadhi, if the good roots of sentient beings are mature, they can use their own divine power to manifest appropriate transformations according to the faith and understanding of sentient beings, and preach the Dharma to them, enabling them to quickly attain Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi. Superior Flower Treasury! The one Dharma is the Dharma of Non-reliance. If a Bodhisattva Mahasattva achieves this Dharma, they will not cling to anything, even throughout the three realms (desire realm, form realm, formless realm), whether internal or external, they will have no reliance. Because of this, they will obtain right view; with right view, they will obtain right correspondence and right conduct, and therefore obtain unobstructed wisdom; with unobstructed wisdom, the mind is also unobstructed, and in the unobstructed mind, right conduct arises. Superior Flower Treasury! How does a Bodhisattva generate right conduct? It is by understanding that all dharmas arise from conditions, and in dharmas arising from conditions, there is not a single entity that can be accumulated. Why is this? Because those conditions are not real, so how can any dharma arise from them? If a dharma arises from conditions, it is non-arising, therefore all dharmas are non-arising. If a Bodhisattva can truly understand that all dharmas are non-arising, they will achieve the Bodhisattva path. All merits will follow.'
生根欲及事，能以悲心而悉隨入；得深信解，了知一切法悉如幻化，乃至分別一切法，皆是化事，以彼分別畢竟空故，而一切法亦復皆空。如是知已，即得如幻三摩地。得是三摩地已，乃至能令眾生速證阿耨多羅三藐三菩提。」
勝華藏菩薩復白佛言：「世尊！今此會中，有幾許菩薩摩訶薩，得是如幻三摩地？」
佛言：「勝華藏！今此會中，有慈氏菩薩、妙吉祥童真菩薩等六十大士，皆已被于不思議鎧，得是如幻三摩地法門。」
勝華藏言：「余世界中，亦有菩薩大士得是三摩地耶？」
佛言：「勝華藏！西方過此百千俱胝佛剎，有世界名極樂，有佛號無量光如來、應供、正等正覺，現住說法，教化眾生。彼佛剎中，有菩薩名觀自在，復有菩薩名大勢至，彼二菩薩得是三摩地，於七夜中為余菩薩說是法門，諸菩薩聞已，亦得是三摩地。」
勝華藏菩薩復白佛言：「世尊！彼佛剎中所有菩薩得如幻三摩地者，應多於此。何以故？此佛剎中諸菩薩等，于慈氏菩薩、妙吉祥童真菩薩所，不能專勤請問聽受如是法門，是故少有得此三摩地者。」
佛言：「勝華藏！如是如是，如汝所說。彼佛剎中所有菩薩，安住如幻三摩地者，無量無數不可稱計。」
爾時勝華藏菩薩摩訶薩復白
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本 對於眾生所欲求的事，能以慈悲心完全隨順進入；獲得深刻的信解，了知一切法都如幻化，乃至分別一切法，都只是幻化的現象，因為這些分別終究是空無的，而一切法也都是空性的。像這樣瞭解之後，就能獲得如幻三摩地（Samadhi，禪定）。獲得這種三摩地后，甚至能令眾生迅速證得阿耨多羅三藐三菩提（Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi，無上正等正覺）。 勝華藏菩薩（Shèng Huá Zàng Púsà）又對佛說：『世尊！現在這個法會中，有多少菩薩摩訶薩（Bodhisattva-Mahasattva，大菩薩）獲得了這種如幻三摩地？』 佛說：『勝華藏！現在這個法會中，有慈氏菩薩（Maitreya Bodhisattva）、妙吉祥童真菩薩（Manjushri Kumara Bodhisattva）等六十位大士，他們都已經披上了不可思議的鎧甲，獲得了這種如幻三摩地法門。』 勝華藏說：『其他世界中，也有菩薩大士獲得這種三摩地嗎？』 佛說：『勝華藏！從這裡向西方經過百千俱胝（koti，千萬）佛剎，有一個世界名為極樂（Sukhavati），那裡有一尊佛，號為無量光如來（Amitabha Tathagata）、應供（Arhat）、正等正覺（Samyak-sambuddha），現在正在說法，教化眾生。那個佛剎中，有一位菩薩名為觀自在（Avalokiteshvara），還有一位菩薩名為大勢至（Mahasthamaprapta），這兩位菩薩獲得了這種三摩地，在七個夜晚中為其他菩薩宣說這個法門，那些菩薩聽了之後，也獲得了這種三摩地。』 勝華藏菩薩又對佛說：『世尊！那個佛剎中所有獲得如幻三摩地的菩薩，應該比這裡多。為什麼呢？因為這個佛剎中的菩薩們，對於慈氏菩薩、妙吉祥童真菩薩，不能專心勤奮地請問聽受這樣的法門，所以很少有獲得這種三摩地的人。』 佛說：『勝華藏！是這樣的，是這樣的，正如你所說。那個佛剎中安住于如幻三摩地的菩薩，數量無量無數，不可稱計。』 這時，勝華藏菩薩摩訶薩又對佛說
【English Translation】 English version For matters that beings desire, they can enter completely in accordance with them with a compassionate heart; having obtained deep faith and understanding, they know that all dharmas are like illusions, and even the differentiation of all dharmas are merely illusory phenomena, because these differentiations are ultimately empty, and all dharmas are also empty. Having understood in this way, one obtains the Illusory Samadhi (Samadhi, meditative absorption). Having obtained this samadhi, one can even enable beings to quickly attain Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi (unsurpassed perfect enlightenment). Bodhisattva Shèng Huá Zàng (Victorious Flower Treasury) then said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One! In this assembly, how many Bodhisattva-Mahasattvas (great Bodhisattvas) have attained this Illusory Samadhi?' The Buddha said: 'Shèng Huá Zàng! In this assembly, there are sixty great beings such as Bodhisattva Maitreya, Bodhisattva Manjushri Kumara, etc., who have already donned the inconceivable armor and attained this Illusory Samadhi Dharma gate.' Shèng Huá Zàng said: 'In other worlds, are there also great Bodhisattvas who have attained this samadhi?' The Buddha said: 'Shèng Huá Zàng! Passing through hundreds of thousands of kotis (ten million) of Buddha-lands to the west, there is a world named Sukhavati (Pure Land), where there is a Buddha named Amitabha Tathagata (Infinite Light Thus Come One), Arhat (Worthy One), Samyak-sambuddha (Perfectly Enlightened One), who is now teaching the Dharma and guiding beings. In that Buddha-land, there is a Bodhisattva named Avalokiteshvara (Perceiver of the World's Sounds), and another Bodhisattva named Mahasthamaprapta (Great Strength Arrived), these two Bodhisattvas have attained this samadhi, and for seven nights they have been expounding this Dharma gate to other Bodhisattvas, and those Bodhisattvas, having heard it, have also attained this samadhi.' Bodhisattva Shèng Huá Zàng again said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One! The Bodhisattvas in that Buddha-land who have attained the Illusory Samadhi should be more numerous than here. Why is that? Because the Bodhisattvas in this Buddha-land are not able to diligently and earnestly ask and listen to such a Dharma gate from Bodhisattva Maitreya and Bodhisattva Manjushri Kumara, therefore, few have attained this samadhi.' The Buddha said: 'Shèng Huá Zàng! It is so, it is so, just as you have said. The Bodhisattvas in that Buddha-land who abide in the Illusory Samadhi are immeasurable, countless, and beyond reckoning.' At that time, Bodhisattva-Mahasattva Shèng Huá Zàng again said to the Buddha
佛言：「世尊！惟愿如來、應供、正等正覺，如其所應現神通相，使彼佛剎二大士等，來此娑婆世界。復令此會大眾得見極樂世界，瞻睹無量光如來、應供、正等正覺。所以者何？此佛剎中諸善男子善女人，若得見彼無量光如來，即能發起阿耨多羅三藐三菩提心，各各愿生於彼佛剎，普得不退轉于阿耨多羅三藐三菩提。又若彼二大士來此剎中，所有此土修菩薩乘諸善男子善女人善根增長，或復于彼二大士所聞說法已，即令獲得如幻三摩地。」
爾時世尊受勝華藏菩薩摩訶薩請已，即從眉間放大光明，其光金色，於此三千大千世界普遍照耀，其中所有須彌山、目真鄰陀山、摩訶目真鄰陀山、雪山、輪圍山、大輪圍山等，乃至極余世界邊際，一切山石叢林暗暝等處，此金色光而悉照破。世間所有日月光明廣大熾盛，以佛光明所映蔽故，猶如眼光其量微小。是時光明金色晃耀，照徹西方百千俱胝佛剎，乃至極樂世界無量光如來所，其光旋環繞佛七匝，普照耀已，于彼佛前隱而不現。是時極樂世界所有菩薩、聲聞及餘眾生之類，乘前光明，悉能見此娑婆世界，及見釋迦牟尼如來，菩薩聲聞大眾圍繞，如觀掌中庵摩勒果，皆生歡喜愛樂之心，咸作是言：「南無世尊釋迦牟尼如來、應供、正等正覺！」
時此娑婆世界
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本：佛陀說：『世尊！我懇請如來、應供、正等正覺（如來十號之一，意為應受供養、達到真正平等覺悟的佛陀），按照您所應有的方式顯現神通，讓極樂世界的那兩位大菩薩來到這個娑婆世界。並且讓這裡的法會大眾能夠見到極樂世界，瞻仰無量光如來（阿彌陀佛的別名）、應供、正等正覺。這是為什麼呢？因為這個佛土中的善男子善女人，如果能夠見到那位無量光如來，就能發起阿耨多羅三藐三菩提心（無上正等正覺之心），各自發愿往生到那個佛土，普遍得到在阿耨多羅三藐三菩提上不退轉的境界。另外，如果那兩位大菩薩來到這個佛土，所有這個世界修習菩薩乘的善男子善女人，他們的善根就會增長，或者在聽聞那兩位大菩薩說法后，就能立即獲得如幻三摩地（如夢如幻的禪定境界）。』 當時，世尊接受了勝華藏菩薩摩訶薩（大菩薩）的請求后，就從眉間放出大光明，那光是金色的，普遍照耀這個三千大千世界，其中所有的須彌山（佛教宇宙觀中的中心山）、目真鄰陀山、摩訶目真鄰陀山、雪山、輪圍山、大輪圍山等，乃至其他世界的邊際，一切山石叢林黑暗的地方，都被這金色光明照破。世間所有的日月光明，雖然廣大熾盛，但因為被佛陀的光明所映蔽，就如同眼光一樣微小。當時，光明金色晃耀，照徹西方百千俱胝佛土，乃至到達極樂世界無量光如來所在之處，那光明旋繞佛陀七圈，普遍照耀后，就在佛前隱沒不見。當時，極樂世界所有的菩薩、聲聞以及其他眾生，憑藉著之前的光明，都能見到這個娑婆世界，並且見到釋迦牟尼如來，菩薩聲聞大眾圍繞，就像觀看掌中的庵摩勒果（一種果實）一樣清晰，都生起歡喜愛樂之心，都說：『頂禮世尊釋迦牟尼如來、應供、正等正覺！』 這時，這個娑婆世界
【English Translation】 English version: The Buddha said, 'World Honored One! I beseech the Tathagata, Arhat, Samyak-sambuddha (one of the ten epithets of a Buddha, meaning worthy of offerings, having attained true and equal enlightenment), to manifest supernatural powers as is appropriate, so that the two great Bodhisattvas from the Land of Bliss may come to this Saha world. Furthermore, may the assembly here be able to see the Land of Bliss, and behold the Immeasurable Light Tathagata (another name for Amitabha Buddha), Arhat, Samyak-sambuddha. Why is this so? Because if the virtuous men and women in this Buddha-land can see that Immeasurable Light Tathagata, they will be able to arouse the mind of Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi (the mind of unsurpassed, true, and equal enlightenment), each vowing to be reborn in that Buddha-land, universally attaining non-retrogression in Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi. Moreover, if those two great Bodhisattvas come to this land, all the virtuous men and women in this land who cultivate the Bodhisattva path will have their roots of goodness increased, or upon hearing the Dharma preached by those two great Bodhisattvas, they will immediately attain the Illusory Samadhi (a state of meditative concentration that is like a dream or illusion).' At that time, after the World Honored One received the request of the Bodhisattva Mahasattva (great Bodhisattva) Supreme Flower Treasury, he emitted a great light from between his eyebrows. The light was golden, and it universally illuminated this three-thousand-great-thousand world. All the Mount Sumeru (the central mountain in Buddhist cosmology), Mount Mucilinda, Mount Mahamucilinda, the Snow Mountains, Mount Cakravada, Mount Mahacakravada, and even the edges of other worlds, all the dark places of mountains, rocks, and forests, were illuminated by this golden light. All the light of the sun and moon in the world, though vast and blazing, was obscured by the Buddha's light, becoming as small as the light of the eye. At that time, the golden light shone brightly, illuminating hundreds of thousands of kotis of Buddha-lands in the west, reaching even to where the Immeasurable Light Tathagata was in the Land of Bliss. The light circled the Buddha seven times, and after universally illuminating, it disappeared before the Buddha. At that time, all the Bodhisattvas, Sravakas, and other beings in the Land of Bliss, by means of the previous light, were able to see this Saha world, and see Shakyamuni Tathagata, surrounded by the assembly of Bodhisattvas and Sravakas, as clearly as looking at an Amalaka fruit (a type of fruit) in the palm of their hand. They all arose with joy and delight, and said, 'Homage to the World Honored One, Shakyamuni Tathagata, Arhat, Samyak-sambuddha!' At this time, this Saha world
釋迦牟尼如來會中，所有諸菩薩摩訶薩，苾芻、苾芻尼、優婆塞、優婆夷，梵王、帝釋、護世四王，並余天、龍、夜叉、乾闥婆、阿修羅、迦樓羅、緊那羅、摩睺羅伽、人非人等，悉能見彼極樂世界，及見無量光如來菩薩聲聞大眾圍繞，光明熾盛如妙高山，映徹照耀遍此剎中；如明眼人於一搩手地量之中，觀余面輪而不勞力，此彼互見亦復如是。時此會眾，得見彼佛及彼世界無數百千俱胝那庾多功德圓滿莊嚴事已，皆生歡喜愛樂之心，咸作是言：「南無世尊無量光如來、應供、正等正覺。」作是言時，會中有八萬四千眾生，皆發阿耨多羅三藐三菩提心，以此善根當得生於極樂世界。
爾時彼世界中所有菩薩聲聞大眾，又復生希有心，合掌恭敬，遙向世尊釋迦牟尼如來而伸頂禮，重作是言：「南無世尊釋迦牟尼如來、應供、正等正覺。」發是言時，彼極樂世界六種震動，所謂震、遍震、等遍震，動、遍動、等遍動，擊、遍擊、等遍擊，涌、遍涌、等遍涌，爆、遍爆、等遍爆，吼、遍吼、等遍吼。現如是相已，時彼會中觀自在菩薩、大勢至菩薩，俱白無量光如來言：「希有。世尊！希有。善逝！彼釋迦牟尼如來所有名字，稱念中間，能令大地六種震動。」
彼佛告言：「善男子！不但此佛剎中稱揚釋迦牟尼如
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本：在釋迦牟尼如來（釋迦牟尼佛）的法會上，所有的大菩薩（菩薩摩訶薩）、比丘（苾芻）、比丘尼（苾芻尼）、優婆塞（在家男居士）、優婆夷（在家女居士），以及梵天王（梵王）、帝釋天（帝釋）、護世四天王（護世四王），還有其餘的天眾、龍眾、夜叉（夜叉）、乾闥婆（乾闥婆）、阿修羅（阿修羅）、迦樓羅（迦樓羅）、緊那羅（緊那羅）、摩睺羅伽（摩睺羅伽）和人非人等，都能看見極樂世界，以及見到無量光如來（阿彌陀佛）被菩薩和聲聞大眾圍繞，光明熾盛如同妙高山（須彌山），光芒映照遍佈這個佛土；就像明眼人在一搩手（張開手掌的長度）的範圍內，觀看其他人的面容毫不費力一樣，他們彼此互見也是如此。當時，法會中的大眾，在見到彼佛（阿彌陀佛）和彼世界無數百千俱胝那由他功德圓滿莊嚴的景象后，都生起了歡喜愛樂之心，一同說道：『頂禮世尊無量光如來、應供、正等正覺。』當他們說這句話時，法會中有八萬四千眾生，都發起了阿耨多羅三藐三菩提心（無上正等正覺之心），憑藉這個善根，他們將來會往生到極樂世界。 那時，極樂世界中的所有菩薩和聲聞大眾，又生起了稀有之心，合掌恭敬，遙向世尊釋迦牟尼如來頂禮，再次說道：『頂禮世尊釋迦牟尼如來、應供、正等正覺。』當他們說這句話時，極樂世界發生了六種震動，即震、遍震、等遍震，動、遍動、等遍動，擊、遍擊、等遍擊，涌、遍涌、等遍涌，爆、遍爆、等遍爆，吼、遍吼、等遍吼。出現這些景象后，當時法會中的觀自在菩薩（觀音菩薩）和大勢至菩薩，一同對無量光如來說道：『稀有啊，世尊！稀有啊，善逝！釋迦牟尼如來的名號，在稱念之間，竟然能使大地發生六種震動。』 彼佛（阿彌陀佛）告訴他們說：『善男子！不僅僅是這個佛土中稱揚釋迦牟尼如來
【English Translation】 English version: In the assembly of Shakyamuni Tathagata (Buddha Shakyamuni), all the Bodhisattva Mahasattvas, Bhikshus (monks), Bhikshunis (nuns), Upasakas (male lay devotees), Upasikas (female lay devotees), Brahma Kings (Brahma), Indra (Indra), the Four Guardian Kings (Four Guardian Kings), and other Devas, Nagas, Yakshas, Gandharvas, Asuras, Garudas, Kinnaras, Mahoragas, and human and non-human beings, all were able to see the Sukhavati (Pure Land) world, and see Amitabha Tathagata (Buddha Amitabha) surrounded by Bodhisattvas and Shravakas, with light blazing like Mount Sumeru, illuminating this Buddha-land; just as a person with clear eyes can easily see the faces of others within a hand's span, so too could they see each other. At that time, the assembly, having seen the immeasurable, hundreds of thousands of kotis of nayutas of meritorious and perfectly adorned aspects of that Buddha (Amitabha) and that world, all generated joy and delight, and together said: 'Namo (Homage to) Bhagavan Amitabha Tathagata, Arhat, Samyak-sambuddha.' As they said this, eighty-four thousand beings in the assembly all generated the Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi-citta (the mind of unsurpassed perfect enlightenment), and with this root of goodness, they will be born in the Sukhavati world. At that time, all the Bodhisattvas and Shravakas in that world also generated a rare mind, and with palms joined in reverence, they bowed in the direction of Bhagavan Shakyamuni Tathagata, and again said: 'Namo Bhagavan Shakyamuni Tathagata, Arhat, Samyak-sambuddha.' As they said this, the Sukhavati world shook in six ways, namely, shaking, universal shaking, equal universal shaking; moving, universal moving, equal universal moving; striking, universal striking, equal universal striking; surging, universal surging, equal universal surging; exploding, universal exploding, equal universal exploding; roaring, universal roaring, equal universal roaring. After these phenomena appeared, Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva (Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara) and Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva (Bodhisattva Mahasthamaprapta) together said to Amitabha Tathagata: 'Rare, O Bhagavan! Rare, O Sugata! The name of Shakyamuni Tathagata, in the midst of being recited, can cause the earth to shake in six ways.' That Buddha (Amitabha) told them: 'Good men! It is not only in this Buddha-land that Shakyamuni Tathagata is praised.'
來名字之時有如是相，別余無量佛剎之中，亦悉稱揚彼佛名字，而諸佛剎蒙光照觸，彼彼皆悉六種震動。是諸剎中無量無數眾生之類，若得聞是釋迦牟尼如來名已，悉得善根增長，不退轉于阿耨多羅三藐三菩提。」
複次彼會菩薩眾中，有四十俱胝菩薩，得聞釋迦牟尼如來名已，咸起是愿：「普集所有一切善根，悉以迴向阿耨多羅三藐三菩提。」即時觀自在菩薩、大勢至菩薩，前詣無量光如來所，各各頭面禮彼佛足，肅恭瞻仰，退住一面，俱白佛言：「世尊！彼釋迦牟尼如來前所放光，昔未聞見，甚為希有。何因緣故，現是光相？若無因緣，彼佛世尊不放光明。其事云何？愿佛為說。」
彼佛告言：「善男子！如是如是，如汝所說。釋迦牟尼如來所放光明非無因緣，彼佛世尊將欲宣說菩薩安住三摩地寶最上法門，為說法故先現是相。」
時觀自在菩薩大勢至菩薩，復白彼佛言：「世尊！我等今者，樂欲往彼娑婆世界，瞻禮親近世尊釋迦牟尼如來、應供、正等正覺，聽其說法。惟垂哀許。」
佛言：「善男子！汝等可往，今正是時，汝等往故，轉復發起彼佛世尊，宣說法要。」
時二菩薩蒙佛許已，即于諸菩薩摩訶薩眾中，顧謂八十四俱胝菩薩言：「諸善男子！我等今往娑婆世界，瞻禮
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本：當（釋迦牟尼佛）的名字被提及之時，會出現這樣的景象：在其他無量佛土之中，也都會稱揚那位佛的名字，而且那些佛土都會被光芒照耀觸及，每一個佛土都會發生六種震動。在這些佛土中，無量無數的眾生，如果聽聞到釋迦牟尼如來的名字，都會得到善根增長，不會在證得阿耨多羅三藐三菩提（無上正等正覺）的道路上退轉。 此外，在那集會中的菩薩眾中，有四十俱胝（俱胝：一千萬）菩薩，聽聞到釋迦牟尼如來的名字后，都發起了這樣的願望：『普遍聚集所有一切善根，全部用來回向阿耨多羅三藐三菩提。』當時，觀自在菩薩（Avalokiteśvara）、大勢至菩薩（Mahāsthāmaprāpta），來到無量光如來（Amitābha）的面前，各自以頭面禮拜佛足，恭敬地瞻仰，然後退到一旁，一同對佛說：『世尊！釋迦牟尼如來之前所放的光芒，過去從未聽聞見過，非常稀有。是什麼因緣，顯現出這樣的光相？如果沒有因緣，那位佛世尊不會放出光明。這是怎麼回事？希望佛能為我們解說。』 那位佛（無量光如來）說道：『善男子！是這樣的，是這樣的，正如你們所說。釋迦牟尼如來所放的光明並非沒有因緣，那位佛世尊將要宣說菩薩安住三摩地（samādhi，禪定）的珍貴最上法門，爲了說法，所以先顯現出這樣的景象。』 當時，觀自在菩薩、大勢至菩薩，又對那位佛說：『世尊！我們現在，想要前往娑婆世界（Sahā world），瞻仰親近世尊釋迦牟尼如來、應供（Arhat）、正等正覺（Samyaksaṃbuddha），聽他說法。希望您能慈悲允許。』 佛說：『善男子！你們可以去，現在正是時候，你們去的話，反而會促使那位佛世尊，宣說重要的法要。』 當時，兩位菩薩得到佛的允許后，就在諸菩薩摩訶薩（菩薩中的大菩薩）眾中，對八十四俱胝菩薩說：『諸位善男子！我們現在要前往娑婆世界，瞻仰
【English Translation】 English version: When the name (of Śākyamuni Buddha) is mentioned, such a phenomenon occurs: in other immeasurable Buddha lands, the name of that Buddha will also be praised, and those Buddha lands will be illuminated by light, and each Buddha land will experience six kinds of tremors. In these Buddha lands, countless beings, if they hear the name of Śākyamuni Tathāgata, will have their roots of goodness increased and will not regress on the path to attaining Anuttarā-samyak-saṃbodhi (unexcelled perfect enlightenment). Furthermore, among the assembly of Bodhisattvas, there were forty koṭis (koṭi: ten million) of Bodhisattvas who, upon hearing the name of Śākyamuni Tathāgata, all made this vow: 'May we universally gather all roots of goodness and dedicate them all towards Anuttarā-samyak-saṃbodhi.' At that time, Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva and Mahāsthāmaprāpta Bodhisattva went before Amitābha Tathāgata, each bowing their heads to the Buddha's feet, respectfully gazing upon him, and then retreated to one side, and together said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One! The light that Śākyamuni Tathāgata emitted earlier, we have never heard of or seen before, it is very rare. What is the cause and condition for manifesting such a light? If there is no cause and condition, that Buddha World Honored One would not emit light. What is the matter? We hope the Buddha can explain it to us.' That Buddha (Amitābha Tathāgata) said: 'Good men! It is so, it is so, just as you have said. The light emitted by Śākyamuni Tathāgata is not without cause and condition. That Buddha World Honored One is about to proclaim the most supreme Dharma of Bodhisattvas dwelling in samādhi (meditative absorption), and for the sake of teaching the Dharma, he first manifests such a phenomenon.' At that time, Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva and Mahāsthāmaprāpta Bodhisattva, again said to that Buddha: 'World Honored One! We now wish to go to the Sahā world, to pay homage to and draw near to the World Honored One Śākyamuni Tathāgata, Arhat, Samyaksaṃbuddha, and listen to his teachings. We hope you will compassionately grant us permission.' The Buddha said: 'Good men! You may go, now is the right time. Your going will, on the contrary, encourage that Buddha World Honored One to proclaim the essential Dharma.' At that time, after the two Bodhisattvas received the Buddha's permission, they said to the eighty-four koṭis of Bodhisattvas in the assembly of Bodhisattva Mahāsattvas: 'Good men! We are now going to the Sahā world to pay homage to'
親近釋迦牟尼如來，聽其說法。所以者何？彼佛世尊最上希有，能為難事，舍余清凈嚴好佛土，樂於娑婆世界穢惡土中，以大悲願力教化眾生。彼諸眾生多起下劣信解，勇發貪瞋癡等諸業煩惱，而佛世尊能于其中成就阿耨多羅三藐三菩提果，是為難事。汝等宜應隨我往彼。」時諸菩薩歡喜隨順。
複次會中有諸大聲聞，異口同音前白佛言：「世尊！彼釋迦牟尼如來所有名字，若暫聞者尚得善利，何況親往現前瞻禮，使瞻禮者肉眼清凈，我等欲往愿佛聽許。」佛言：「可往，今正是時。」
爾時八十四俱胝菩薩，並諸大聲聞，恭敬圍繞觀自在菩薩、大勢至菩薩，來詣娑婆世界。菩薩行時，如其所應，現諸色相神通事業。時八十四俱胝菩薩，各各化現八十四俱胝殊妙樓閣，一一樓閣高十二由旬，廣八由旬，四方四隅周遍妙好。是諸樓閣，有以金銀、吠琉璃、頗胝迦、赤珠碼瑙、琥珀等七寶合成，有以金銀所成，有以金銀吠琉璃成，有以金銀吠琉璃碼瑙所成，有以金銀吠琉璃碼瑙頗胝迦成，有以金銀吠琉璃頗胝迦琥珀赤珠所成，有以赤栴檀香、龍實栴檀香、沉水栴檀香成，有以眾妙栴檀香等所共合成。有以優缽羅華、缽訥摩華、俱母陀華、奔拏利迦華所成，有以須摩那華、婆利師迦華、瞻波迦華、波吒羅華、阿
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本 親近釋迦牟尼如來（釋迦牟尼佛），聽他講法。這是為什麼呢？因為那位佛世尊是最上、最稀有的，能夠做難做的事情，捨棄其他清凈莊嚴的佛土，喜歡在娑婆世界（我們所處的世界）這樣污穢的土地上，以大悲願力教化眾生。那些眾生大多產生下劣的信念和理解，勇猛地生起貪、嗔、癡等各種業和煩惱，而佛世尊卻能在其中成就阿耨多羅三藐三菩提（無上正等正覺）的果位，這是非常難的事情。你們應該跟隨我前往那裡。」當時，各位菩薩都歡喜地隨順了。 再次，法會中有很多大聲聞（佛陀的弟子），他們異口同聲地向前對佛說：『世尊！那位釋迦牟尼如來，如果只是暫時聽到他的名字，尚且能得到善利，更何況親自前往瞻仰禮拜，使瞻仰禮拜的人肉眼清凈。我們想要前往，希望佛陀允許。』佛說：『可以前往，現在正是時候。』 當時，八十四俱胝（數量單位，表示極多）菩薩，以及各位大聲聞，恭敬地圍繞著觀自在菩薩（觀音菩薩）、大勢至菩薩，來到娑婆世界。菩薩們行走時，根據情況，顯現各種色相和神通事業。當時，八十四俱胝菩薩，各自化現出八十四俱胝殊妙的樓閣，每一座樓閣高十二由旬（長度單位），寬八由旬，四方四角都非常美妙。這些樓閣，有的用金、銀、吠琉璃（琉璃）、頗胝迦（水晶）、赤珠（紅色的珍珠）、碼瑙（瑪瑙）、琥珀等七寶合成，有的用金銀構成，有的用金銀和吠琉璃構成，有的用金銀、吠琉璃和碼瑙構成，有的用金銀、吠琉璃、碼瑙和頗胝迦構成，有的用金銀、吠琉璃、頗胝迦、琥珀和赤珠構成，有的用赤栴檀香、龍實栴檀香、沉水栴檀香構成，有的用各種美妙的栴檀香等共同合成。有的用優缽羅華（青蓮花）、缽訥摩華（紅蓮花）、俱母陀華（白蓮花）、奔拏利迦華（粉紅蓮花）構成，有的用須摩那華（素馨花）、婆利師迦華（茉莉花）、瞻波迦華（黃玉蘭花）、波吒羅華（紫茉莉花）、阿
【English Translation】 English version Draw near to Tathagata Shakyamuni (Buddha Shakyamuni), and listen to his teachings. Why is this so? Because that Buddha, the World-Honored One, is the most supreme and rare, capable of doing difficult things. He abandons other pure and adorned Buddha lands, and delights in this defiled land of the Saha world (the world we inhabit), using his great compassionate vows to teach sentient beings. Those beings mostly generate inferior faith and understanding, vigorously giving rise to various karmas and afflictions such as greed, anger, and ignorance. Yet, the World-Honored One is able to achieve the fruit of Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi (unexcelled, right, and perfect enlightenment) within it. This is a very difficult thing. You should all follow me there.' At that time, all the Bodhisattvas joyfully complied. Furthermore, in the assembly, there were many great Shravakas (disciples of the Buddha), who spoke in unison to the Buddha, saying: 'World-Honored One! That Tathagata Shakyamuni, if one merely hears his name temporarily, one can still obtain good benefits. How much more so if one personally goes to pay homage and reverence, making the physical eyes of those who pay homage pure. We wish to go, may the Buddha grant permission.' The Buddha said: 'You may go, now is the right time.' At that time, eighty-four kotis (a unit of large number) of Bodhisattvas, along with all the great Shravakas, respectfully surrounded Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara (Bodhisattva Guanyin) and Bodhisattva Mahasthamaprapta, and came to the Saha world. When the Bodhisattvas traveled, they manifested various forms and miraculous deeds according to the circumstances. At that time, each of the eighty-four kotis of Bodhisattvas manifested eighty-four kotis of exquisite pavilions. Each pavilion was twelve yojanas (a unit of distance) high and eight yojanas wide, with all four sides and corners being wonderfully beautiful. These pavilions were composed of seven treasures such as gold, silver, vaiḍūrya (lapis lazuli), sphatika (crystal), red pearls, agate, and amber. Some were made of gold and silver, some of gold, silver, and vaiḍūrya, some of gold, silver, vaiḍūrya, and agate, some of gold, silver, vaiḍūrya, agate, and sphatika, some of gold, silver, vaiḍūrya, sphatika, amber, and red pearls, some of red sandalwood, dragon-essence sandalwood, and aloeswood sandalwood, and some were composed of various exquisite sandalwood. Some were made of utpala flowers (blue lotus), padma flowers (red lotus), kumuda flowers (white lotus), and pundarika flowers (pink lotus), some of sumana flowers (jasmine), varshika flowers (jasmine), champaka flowers (magnolia), patala flowers (trumpet flower), and a

時此娑婆世界佛會之中，所有菩薩聲聞大眾，見此世界清凈嚴飾，及見無數廣大樓閣已，咸起是念：「如來何故現是威力，而能令彼諸大菩薩來至於此？」
爾時勝華藏菩薩承佛威神，從座而起前白佛言：「希有。世尊！希有。善逝！今此娑婆世界如是嚴飾及現樓閣，為是如來威神力邪？為是彼二菩薩威力所變？愿佛為說。」

【English Translation】 English version To the Bodhisattva Mahasattvas (great Bodhisattvas), and the assembly of Bodhisattvas who came with them, these extraordinarily wonderful and adorned pavilions were all placed within a single pavilion at once. The various adornments did not interfere with each other, just as a strong man might stretch and bend his arm, they arrived in this Saha world (the world we inhabit). And these Bodhisattvas, through their spiritual powers, each manifested eighty-four kotis (a unit of large number) of meritorious and adorned wonderful pavilions, placing them in the Buddha's assembly. According to their respective spiritual powers, they made the ground of this Saha world as flat as the palm of a hand, and yet the Buddha's assembly did not feel crowded. These pavilions emitted great light, illuminating this three thousand great thousand world (a world in Buddhist cosmology). At this time, the two Bodhisattvas approached the Buddha, bowed their heads to his feet, circumambulated him three times to the right, and then stood to one side. Together, they said to the Buddha: 'The Tathagata (another name for Buddha) Amitabha (Buddha of Infinite Light), worthy of offerings, perfectly and completely enlightened, sends greetings to the World Honored One Shakyamuni Tathagata, asking if you are free from illness and affliction, if your movements are light and agile, and if you are practicing in peace and joy?' The two Bodhisattvas further said to the Buddha: 'We, the Bodhisattvas and Sravakas (disciples who hear the teachings), having seen the World Honored Buddha in the Land of Ultimate Bliss (Amitabha's Pure Land), have come to pay our respects.' At this time, in the Buddha's assembly of this Saha world, all the Bodhisattvas and Sravakas, having seen this world purified and adorned, and having seen the countless vast pavilions, all had this thought: 'Why does the Tathagata manifest such power, that he is able to cause those great Bodhisattvas to come here?' At that time, the Bodhisattva Superior Flower Treasury, relying on the Buddha's majestic power, rose from his seat and approached the Buddha, saying: 'It is rare, World Honored One! It is rare, Sugata (another name for Buddha)! Now this Saha world is so adorned and pavilions have appeared. Is this the power of the Tathagata's majestic power? Or is it the transformation of the power of those two Bodhisattvas? We wish that the Buddha would explain this to us.' The Buddha said to the Bodhisattva Mahasattva Superior Flower Treasury: 'Superior Flower Treasury! This is not the power of the Tathagata's majestic power, but rather the transformation of the power of the Bodhisattva Mahasattva Avalokiteshvara (another name for Guanyin Bodhisattva) and the Bodhisattva Mahasattva Mahasthamaprapta (a Bodhisattva), therefore, this appearance is manifested.' Superior Flower Treasury again said to the Buddha: 'It is rare, World Honored One! It is rare, Sugata! These two great beings have already attained the purity of inconceivable vows and power,'
善根潔白，乃能有是神通威力。」
佛言勝華藏：「如是如是，如汝所說。此二大士已於俱胝百千那庾多劫，積集善根清凈潔白。又復已得如幻三摩地法門，從是三摩地中，能現如是種種色相神通等事。複次勝華藏！且置是事，汝觀東方為有何相？」勝華藏菩薩承佛聖旨，即以無礙清凈天眼，觀見東方殑伽沙數佛剎之中，有殑伽沙數諸佛世尊，彼一一佛前，皆有觀自在菩薩摩訶薩、大勢至菩薩摩訶薩，各禮佛足，又聞其言：「無量光如來、應供、正等正覺，致問世尊，少病少惱、動止輕利、安樂行不？」及見無量廣大樓閣妙寶嚴飾；如是南西北方，四維上下，一一皆見殑伽沙數佛剎之中，有殑伽沙數諸佛世尊，彼一一佛前皆有二大士各禮佛足，又聞其言：「無量光如來、應供、正等正覺，致問世尊，少病少惱、動止輕利、安樂行不？」及見無量廣大樓閣妙寶嚴飾。
時勝華藏菩薩見是相已，復白佛言：「希有。世尊！希有。善逝！此二大士真實已得最勝如幻三摩地門，能於十方諸佛剎中悉現其身，神通威力不可思議。」
爾時世尊觀察眾會，如其所應現神通相。即時會中一切大眾，以佛威神力故，皆如勝華藏菩薩，亦能見彼十方世界如殑伽沙數諸佛剎土，彼彼剎中佛世尊前，皆有二大士，各禮佛足
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本：'善根清凈潔白，才能有這樣的神通威力。' 佛對勝華藏說：'是這樣的，是這樣的，正如你所說。這兩位大士已經在無數劫中，積累了清凈潔白的善根。而且已經得到了如幻三摩地（一種禪定狀態）的法門，從這種三摩地中，能夠顯現出種種色相神通等事。再說勝華藏，暫且放下這件事，你看看東方有什麼景象？'勝華藏菩薩領受佛的旨意，就用無礙清凈的天眼，看到東方恒河沙數佛剎之中，有恒河沙數諸佛世尊，他們每一位佛前，都有觀自在菩薩（Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva，又稱觀音菩薩）摩訶薩（菩薩中的大菩薩）、大勢至菩薩（Mahāsthāmaprāpta Bodhisattva）摩訶薩，各自禮拜佛足，又聽到他們說：'無量光如來（Amitābha，阿彌陀佛）、應供（值得供養者）、正等正覺（完全覺悟者），向世尊致問，少病少惱、行動輕快、安樂嗎？'並且看到無量廣大樓閣，用奇妙的寶物裝飾；像這樣，南方、西方、北方，四維上下，每一處都看到恒河沙數佛剎之中，有恒河沙數諸佛世尊，他們每一位佛前都有兩位大士各自禮拜佛足，又聽到他們說：'無量光如來、應供、正等正覺，向世尊致問，少病少惱、行動輕快、安樂嗎？'並且看到無量廣大樓閣，用奇妙的寶物裝飾。 這時，勝華藏菩薩看到這些景象后，又對佛說：'稀有啊，世尊！稀有啊，善逝（佛的稱號）！這兩位大士真實已經得到了最殊勝的如幻三摩地法門，能夠在十方諸佛剎中都顯現他們的身形，神通威力不可思議。' 這時，世尊觀察大眾，根據他們的情況顯現神通。當時會中所有大眾，因為佛的威神力，都像勝華藏菩薩一樣，也能看到十方世界像恒河沙數一樣的諸佛剎土，在那些剎土中，每一位佛世尊前，都有兩位大士，各自禮拜佛足。
【English Translation】 English version: 'Only with pure and immaculate roots of goodness can one possess such miraculous powers.' The Buddha said to Śrīghana (Victorious Flower Treasury): 'It is so, it is so, just as you have said. These two great beings have already accumulated pure and immaculate roots of goodness over countless kalpas (eons). Moreover, they have attained the Dharma gate of the Illusory Samadhi (a state of meditative absorption), and from this Samadhi, they can manifest various forms, miraculous powers, and other such things. Furthermore, Śrīghana, let us set aside this matter for now. Observe the east, what do you see?' Śrīghana Bodhisattva, receiving the Buddha's holy command, immediately used his unobstructed and pure heavenly eye to see that in the eastern direction, within Buddha-lands as numerous as the sands of the Ganges, there were Buddhas, World Honored Ones, as numerous as the sands of the Ganges. Before each of these Buddhas, there were Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva Mahasattva (a great Bodhisattva) and Mahāsthāmaprāpta Bodhisattva Mahasattva, each bowing at the feet of the Buddha. And he heard them say: 'Amitābha Tathāgata (Thus Gone One), Arhat (Worthy One), Samyaksaṃbuddha (Perfectly Enlightened One), inquires of the World Honored One, are you free from illness and affliction, are your movements light and easy, and are you walking in peace?' And he saw countless vast pavilions adorned with wondrous treasures. Likewise, in the south, west, north, the four intermediate directions, and above and below, in each direction, he saw Buddha-lands as numerous as the sands of the Ganges, and within each of these Buddha-lands, there were Buddhas, World Honored Ones, as numerous as the sands of the Ganges. Before each of these Buddhas, there were two great beings, each bowing at the feet of the Buddha. And he heard them say: 'Amitābha Tathāgata, Arhat, Samyaksaṃbuddha, inquires of the World Honored One, are you free from illness and affliction, are your movements light and easy, and are you walking in peace?' And he saw countless vast pavilions adorned with wondrous treasures. Then, Śrīghana Bodhisattva, having seen these sights, again said to the Buddha: 'It is rare, World Honored One! It is rare, Sugata (Well-Gone One, an epithet of the Buddha)! These two great beings have truly attained the most supreme Illusory Samadhi gate, and they can manifest their forms in all the Buddha-lands of the ten directions. Their miraculous powers are inconceivable.' At that time, the World Honored One observed the assembly and manifested miraculous powers according to their capacities. Immediately, all the great assembly, through the Buddha's majestic power, were like Śrīghana Bodhisattva, and they could also see the Buddha-lands of the ten directions, as numerous as the sands of the Ganges. In each of those lands, before each Buddha, World Honored One, there were two great beings, each bowing at the feet of the Buddha.
，乃至見彼廣大樓閣妙寶嚴飾。當此眾會見是相時，會中有三萬二千眾生髮阿耨多羅三藐三菩提心。
爾時勝華藏菩薩摩訶薩復白佛言：「世尊！此二大士，於何佛所發阿耨多羅三藐三菩提心？而所發心為久近耶？其佛如來，名字何等？惟愿世尊，善為宣說，令余菩薩知其所修，如其所行，畢竟皆得行愿圓滿。」
佛告勝華藏菩薩言：「汝應善聽，極善作意，今為汝說。」是時勝華藏菩薩受教而聽。
佛言勝華藏：「乃往過去阿僧祇阿僧祇劫前，又經廣大無量無邊不可思議劫數，過是劫已，將此三千大千世界碎為微塵，一塵一劫，過是微塵劫數之前，時有世界，名無量功德寶莊嚴普現妙樂，有佛出世，號師子游戲金光王如來、應供、正等正覺、明行足、善逝、世間解、無上士、調御丈夫、天人師、佛、世尊。彼佛剎中，所有功德莊嚴等事，廣大無量。勝華藏！于汝意云何？彼無量光如來、應供、正等正覺，極樂世界中所有功德莊嚴，是為多不？」
勝華藏言：「甚多。世尊！無量無邊不可思議。」
佛言勝華藏：「我以譬喻略明斯義。譬如有人，取彼一毛析為百分，將其一分于大海中取一滴水。勝華藏！于汝意云何？彼毛端水是為多邪？余大海水而為多邪？」
勝華藏白佛言：
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本：甚至看到那廣大的樓閣，以奇妙的珍寶裝飾得富麗堂皇。當在場的眾人看到這種景象時，會中有三萬二千眾生髮起了阿耨多羅三藐三菩提心（無上正等正覺之心）。 那時，勝華藏菩薩摩訶薩（偉大的菩薩）再次對佛說：『世尊！這兩位大士，是在哪位佛的座下發起了阿耨多羅三藐三菩提心？他們發心的時間是久遠還是不久？那位如來的名號是什麼？唯愿世尊，為我們詳細解說，讓其他的菩薩瞭解他們所修行的，以及他們所實踐的，最終都能圓滿他們的修行和願望。』 佛告訴勝華藏菩薩說：『你應該仔細聽，用心思考，我現在為你解說。』當時，勝華藏菩薩接受教誨，專心聆聽。 佛說勝華藏：『在過去無量阿僧祇（無數）劫之前，又經過廣大無量無邊不可思議的劫數，過了這些劫數之後，將這個三千大千世界粉碎成微塵，每一粒微塵代表一個劫，過了這些微塵劫數之前，那時有一個世界，名為無量功德寶莊嚴普現妙樂，有一佛出世，號為師子游戲金光王如來（如實而來者）、應供（值得供養者）、正等正覺（完全覺悟者）、明行足（智慧和行為圓滿者）、善逝（善於逝去者）、世間解（瞭解世間者）、無上士（無上之人）、調御丈夫（調御之人）、天人師（天人和人類的導師）、佛（覺悟者）、世尊（受人尊敬者）。那個佛的剎土中，所有的功德莊嚴等事，廣大無量。勝華藏！你認為如何？那位無量光如來（無量光明者）、應供、正等正覺，在極樂世界中所有的功德莊嚴，是多還是不多？』 勝華藏說：『非常多。世尊！無量無邊不可思議。』 佛說勝華藏：『我用一個比喻來簡略說明這個道理。譬如有人，取一根毛髮，將其分成一百份，然後取其中一份，在大海中取一滴水。勝華藏！你認為如何？那毛端上的水多呢？還是其餘的大海水多呢？』 勝華藏對佛說：
【English Translation】 English version: Even seeing those vast pavilions, beautifully adorned with exquisite jewels. When the assembly saw this sight, thirty-two thousand beings in the assembly generated the aspiration for Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi (the unsurpassed perfect enlightenment). At that time, the Bodhisattva Mahasattva (great Bodhisattva) Superior Flower Treasury again said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One! These two great beings, under which Buddha did they generate the aspiration for Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi? Was their aspiration generated long ago or recently? What is the name of that Tathagata? We beseech the World Honored One to explain this in detail, so that other Bodhisattvas may understand what they have cultivated, and what they have practiced, so that ultimately they may all fulfill their practices and vows.' The Buddha told the Bodhisattva Superior Flower Treasury: 'You should listen carefully, and pay close attention, I will now explain it to you.' At that time, the Bodhisattva Superior Flower Treasury received the teaching and listened attentively. The Buddha said to Superior Flower Treasury: 'In the past, countless Asamkhya (innumerable) kalpas ago, and after passing through vast, immeasurable, and inconceivable kalpas, after these kalpas had passed, this three-thousand great thousand world was crushed into fine dust, each dust representing a kalpa. Before these dust-kalpas had passed, there was a world named Immeasurable Merit Treasure Adornment Universally Manifesting Wonderful Joy, where a Buddha appeared in the world, named Lion Game Golden Light King Tathagata (Thus Come One), Arhat (Worthy of Offerings), Samyak-sambuddha (Perfectly Enlightened One), Vidyā-carana-sampanna (Perfect in Knowledge and Conduct), Sugata (Well-Gone One), Lokavid (Knower of the World), Anuttara (Unsurpassed One), Purusa-damya-sarathi (Tamer of Men), Sasta deva-manusyanam (Teacher of Gods and Humans), Buddha (Enlightened One), Bhagavan (World Honored One). In that Buddha's land, all the merits and adornments were vast and immeasurable. Superior Flower Treasury! What do you think? The immeasurable light Tathagata (One of Immeasurable Light), Arhat, Samyak-sambuddha, all the merits and adornments in the Land of Ultimate Bliss, are they many or not?' Superior Flower Treasury said: 'Very many. World Honored One! Immeasurable, boundless, and inconceivable.' The Buddha said to Superior Flower Treasury: 'I will use a metaphor to briefly explain this principle. For example, if someone were to take a single hair, divide it into one hundred parts, and then take one of those parts and take a drop of water from the great ocean. Superior Flower Treasury! What do you think? Is the water on the tip of that hair more, or is the rest of the ocean water more?' Superior Flower Treasury said to the Buddha:
「世尊！毛端之水極為微少，余大海水深廣無量。」
佛言勝華藏：「汝今當知，無量光如來極樂世界，所有功德莊嚴等事，如毛端水；師子游戲金光王如來無量功德寶莊嚴普現妙樂世界，所有功德莊嚴等事，如大海水。又師子游戲金光王如來會中所有菩薩聲聞之眾，比無量光如來會中菩薩聲聞多百千倍，彼佛世尊隨應演說三乘之法。勝華藏！以要言之，彼師子游戲金光王如來剎土之中，所有功德莊嚴及妙樂事，假使我于殑伽沙數劫中廣以辯才，而亦不能說其邊際。
「複次勝華藏！彼師子游戲金光王如來法中，有王名勝威，其王于千世界中，自在特尊，廣大富盛，正法化世，有七萬六千最上園苑，王所受用；其王諸子，各有一萬園林受用。」
勝華藏菩薩白佛言：「世尊！彼佛剎中有女人不？」
佛言：「不也。善男子！彼佛剎中，尚無女人名字可聞，況有女人邪？其中生者皆是化生，清凈潔白、咸修梵行，一切眾生皆以法喜禪悅為食，不受一切粗惡假食。勝華藏！其王與子於八萬四千俱胝歲中，尊重供養師子游戲金光王如來。彼佛世尊知王深心起凈信已，即為宣說無量印善巧法門。勝華藏！何等名為無量印善巧法門邪？謂諸菩薩摩訶薩所起諸行，未嘗于限量法中而有趣求。何以故？以諸
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本： 『世尊！』勝華藏菩薩問道，『一根毛髮尖端的水滴是極其微小的，而大海的水卻是深廣無量的。』
佛陀告訴勝華藏：『你應當知道，無量光如來（Amitabha Buddha）的極樂世界，所有功德莊嚴的事物，就像毛髮尖端的水滴；而師子游戲金光王如來（Simhavikridita-kanakavarna Buddha）的無量功德寶莊嚴普現妙樂世界，所有功德莊嚴的事物，則像大海的水。而且，師子游戲金光王如來會中的菩薩和聲聞弟子，比無量光如來會中的菩薩和聲聞多出百千倍。那位佛世尊隨眾生的根器而宣說三乘佛法。勝華藏！總而言之，師子游戲金光王如來的國土中，所有的功德莊嚴和美妙快樂的事物，即使我用恒河沙數劫的時間，廣用辯才來講述，也無法說盡其邊際。』
『此外，勝華藏！在師子游戲金光王如來的教法中，有一位國王名叫勝威，這位國王在千個世界中，自在尊貴，廣大富饒，以正法教化世人，擁有七萬六千個最上等的園林供他享用；他的每個兒子，也都各自擁有一萬個園林享用。』
勝華藏菩薩問佛：『世尊！那個佛國中有女人嗎？』
佛陀說：『沒有。善男子！那個佛國中，連女人的名字都聽不到，更何況有女人呢？那裡出生的眾生都是化生，清凈潔白，都修持梵行，一切眾生都以法喜禪悅為食，不接受任何粗劣的食物。勝華藏！那位國王和他的兒子們，在八萬四千俱胝年中，恭敬供養師子游戲金光王如來。那位佛世尊知道國王內心深處生起了清凈的信心后，就為他們宣說了無量印善巧法門。勝華藏！什麼叫做無量印善巧法門呢？就是指菩薩摩訶薩所發起的一切修行，從未在任何法中有所追求。為什麼呢？因為一切法』
【English Translation】 English version: 『World Honored One!』 asked Bodhisattva Shèng Huá Zàng, 『The water on the tip of a hair is extremely small, while the water of the great ocean is immeasurably deep and vast.』
The Buddha said to Shèng Huá Zàng: 『You should know that the Land of Ultimate Bliss of Amitabha Buddha, all its meritorious adornments, are like the water on the tip of a hair; while the Immeasurable Meritorious Adornment Manifesting Wonderful Joy Land of Simhavikridita-kanakavarna Buddha, all its meritorious adornments, are like the water of the great ocean. Moreover, the assembly of Bodhisattvas and Śrāvakas in the presence of Simhavikridita-kanakavarna Buddha is hundreds of thousands of times greater than the assembly of Bodhisattvas and Śrāvakas in the presence of Amitabha Buddha. That World Honored One expounds the Dharma of the Three Vehicles according to the capacities of beings. Shèng Huá Zàng! In short, the meritorious adornments and wonderful joys in the land of Simhavikridita-kanakavarna Buddha, even if I were to use the eloquence of countless kalpas as numerous as the sands of the Ganges, I would still not be able to describe its boundaries.』
『Furthermore, Shèng Huá Zàng! In the Dharma of Simhavikridita-kanakavarna Buddha, there is a king named Shèng Wēi, who is sovereign and honored in a thousand worlds, vast and wealthy, and who governs the world with the righteous Dharma. He possesses seventy-six thousand supreme gardens for his enjoyment; each of his sons also has ten thousand gardens for their enjoyment.』
Bodhisattva Shèng Huá Zàng asked the Buddha: 『World Honored One! Are there women in that Buddha-land?』
The Buddha said: 『No. Good man! In that Buddha-land, even the name of a woman cannot be heard, let alone the presence of women. Those who are born there are all born by transformation, pure and white, all practicing pure conduct. All beings there take the joy of Dharma and meditation as their food, and do not accept any coarse or impure food. Shèng Huá Zàng! That king and his sons, for eighty-four thousand kotis of years, respectfully made offerings to Simhavikridita-kanakavarna Buddha. That World Honored One, knowing that the king had generated pure faith in his heart, then expounded to them the Dharma of the Immeasurable Seal Skillful Means. Shèng Huá Zàng! What is called the Dharma of the Immeasurable Seal Skillful Means? It refers to all the practices initiated by Bodhisattva Mahāsattvas, who never seek anything in any dharma. Why is that? Because all dharmas』

「勝華藏！諸菩薩乃至一發心所有善根，尚起無量廣大之心迴向一切，況復積集無量行愿，普用迴向一切眾生，使諸眾生悉證無生，如佛涅槃而得涅槃。善男子！此即名為無量回向。以是迴向故，即空、無相、無愿而悉無量，真如、實際、法界亦復無量，解脫、無生、離諸繫著。善男子！以要言之，無量義者，即一切法無量。何故說一切法為無量邪？以一切法無生無滅故無量，若法無量即無生無滅，若法無生無滅即無量，是名無量印法門。
「勝華藏！爾時彼師子游戲金光王如來，為彼勝威王，如是宣說無量印善巧法門時，其王於一切法而得覺了。
「複次勝華藏！彼勝威王于佛法中修禪定行，後於一時安處禪定。其王忽然左右二脅，生二蓮華殊妙可愛，清凈猶如龍實栴檀香，于其華中生二童子，跏趺而坐。其王見已嘆未曾有，即向童子說伽陀曰：

【English Translation】 English version: Bodhisattvas practice immeasurable giving (dāna), immeasurable morality (śīla), immeasurable patience (kṣānti), immeasurable effort (vīrya), immeasurable meditation (dhyāna), and immeasurable wisdom (prajñā). They enter into immeasurable cycles of birth and death, have compassion for immeasurable beings, adorn immeasurable Buddha-lands (buddhakṣetra), adorn immeasurable śrāvakas (disciples of the Buddha), accomplish immeasurable forms (rūpa), and possess immeasurable voices and immeasurable eloquence. 『Śrīgarbha! Even the roots of virtue from a single thought of aspiration of the Bodhisattvas are directed towards all with immeasurable and vast minds. How much more so when they accumulate immeasurable practices and vows, universally dedicating them to all beings, enabling all beings to realize non-arising (anutpāda), and attain nirvāṇa (liberation) just as the Buddha attained nirvāṇa. Good man! This is called immeasurable dedication. Because of this dedication, emptiness (śūnyatā), signlessness (animitta), and wishlessness (apraṇihita) all become immeasurable. Suchness (tathatā), the limit of reality (bhūtakoti), and the realm of dharma (dharmadhātu) are also immeasurable. Liberation (vimokṣa), non-arising, and freedom from all attachments are also immeasurable. Good man! In short, the meaning of immeasurable is that all dharmas are immeasurable. Why are all dharmas said to be immeasurable? Because all dharmas are without arising and without ceasing, therefore they are immeasurable. If a dharma is immeasurable, then it is without arising and without ceasing. If a dharma is without arising and without ceasing, then it is immeasurable. This is called the Dharma-gate of the Immeasurable Seal.』 『Śrīgarbha! At that time, the Tathāgata Lion-Play Golden Light King (Siṃhavikrīḍita-suvarṇaprabhāsa-tathāgata), while expounding the skillful Dharma-gate of the Immeasurable Seal to King Śrītejas, that king attained enlightenment regarding all dharmas.』 『Furthermore, Śrīgarbha! King Śrītejas practiced meditation in the Buddha-dharma, and later, at one time, he was dwelling in meditation. Suddenly, from his left and right sides, two lotus flowers arose, wonderfully beautiful and pure, like the fragrance of nāga-sāra-candana (a precious sandalwood). From within these flowers, two boys were born, sitting in the lotus posture. Upon seeing this, the king marveled at this unprecedented event and spoke the following verse to the boys:』 『『Are you devas or nāgas, or perhaps yakṣas or rākṣasas, humans or non-humans, or perhaps immortals? What are your names, please tell me.』』 『Then, the boy born from the right side spoke the following verse in reply to the king:』 『『In』
切法空性中， 汝今問我何名字， 然彼諸法本無名， 何故以名而見問？ 法空性中無天龍， 亦無夜叉羅剎類， 人與非人若神仙， 彼等一切無所有。』
「時左脅生者童子，亦說伽陀答彼王曰：
「『名與名體二皆空， 能名所名俱無有， 於一切法無名中， 但以強名而表示。 當知真實名自性， 是中非見亦非聞， 本來無滅復無生， 何故以名而見問？ 諸所作事所有名， 既以假名而表示， 是故我今亦假名， 一名寶嚴二寶上。』
「彼二童子說伽陀已，宿善力故得五神通，即與勝威王同詣師子游戲金光王如來所。到已頭面各禮佛足，右繞三匝，退住一面。彼二童子，合掌向佛異口同音，說伽陀曰：
「『我今當以何等物， 供養正覺二足尊？ 此事愿佛開我心， 令我聞已心安定。 我今無華亦無香， 復無飲食及衣服， 諸妙供養悉皆無， 將何供養最勝者？』
「爾時彼佛，為二童子說伽陀曰：
「『若能一發菩提心， 廣為眾生作利樂， 此即名為真供養， 正覺三十二相者。 若人以彼殑伽沙， 是等數量諸佛剎， 滿中勝上諸妙華， 供養世尊救世者，
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本 在空性的真諦中，你現在問我叫什麼名字， 然而，一切諸法本來就沒有名字，為何要用名字來發問呢？ 在法性空性中，沒有天龍（天神和龍），也沒有夜叉（一種守護神）和羅剎（惡鬼）這類， 人和非人，以及神仙，他們一切都不存在。
這時，左脅生的童子也用偈語回答國王說：
『名字和名字所指的實體都是空無的，能命名和被命名的都並不存在， 在一切法都沒有名字的情況下，只是勉強用名字來表示。 應當知道真實名字的自性，其中既不能看見也不能聽見， 本來沒有生滅，為何要用名字來發問呢？ 所有做的事情和所有的名字，既然都是用假名來表示， 因此，我現在也用假名，一個叫寶嚴，一個叫寶上。』
這兩個童子說完偈語后，因為過去善業的力量，獲得了五神通，就和勝威王一同前往師子游戲金光王如來（佛名）所在之處。 到達后，他們各自以頭面禮拜佛足，右繞佛三圈，然後退到一邊站立。 這兩個童子合掌向佛，異口同聲地說偈語：
『我們現在應當用什麼東西，來供養正覺的二足尊（佛的尊稱）呢？ 這件事希望佛能開啟我們的心，讓我們聽了之後心能安定。 我們現在沒有鮮花，也沒有香，也沒有飲食和衣服， 各種美好的供養都沒有，將用什麼來供養最殊勝的佛呢？』
這時，佛為這兩個童子說了偈語：
『如果能發一顆菩提心（覺悟之心），廣泛地為眾生帶來利益和快樂， 這就可以稱為真正的供養，供養具有三十二相（佛的特徵）的佛。 如果有人用恒河沙數（極多的數量）那麼多佛剎（佛的國土）， 充滿最殊勝的各種鮮花，來供養世尊（佛的尊稱），救世者，
【English Translation】 English version In the emptiness of Dharma, you now ask me what my name is, Yet, all dharmas originally have no name, why do you inquire with a name? In the emptiness of Dharma, there are no Devas (gods) or Nagas (dragons), nor Yakshas (a type of guardian spirit) or Rakshasas (demons), Neither humans nor non-humans, nor immortals, all of them do not exist.
Then, the boy born from the left side also spoke a gatha (verse) to answer the king:
'Both the name and the entity named are empty, neither the namer nor the named exist, In the absence of names for all dharmas, names are merely used to indicate them. One should know the true nature of a name, in which there is neither seeing nor hearing, Originally there is neither arising nor ceasing, why do you inquire with a name? All actions and all names, since they are indicated by provisional names, Therefore, I now also use provisional names, one is called Bao Yan (Jewel Adornment) and the other Bao Shang (Jewel Above).'
After these two boys spoke the gatha, due to the power of their past good deeds, they obtained the five supernormal powers, and together with King Sheng Wei, they went to where the Tathagata (Buddha) Lion Game Golden Light King was. Upon arriving, they each bowed their heads to the Buddha's feet, circumambulated the Buddha three times to the right, and then retreated to stand on one side. The two boys, with their palms together, facing the Buddha, spoke the gatha in unison:
'What should we use now to make offerings to the Rightly Enlightened Two-Footed Honored One (a title for the Buddha)? We wish that the Buddha would open our minds, so that after hearing, our hearts may be at peace. We have no flowers, no incense, no food or clothing, All kinds of wonderful offerings are absent, what shall we use to make offerings to the most supreme one?'
At that time, the Buddha spoke a gatha for the two boys:
'If one can generate a Bodhi mind (mind of enlightenment), and widely bring benefit and joy to sentient beings, This can be called a true offering, an offering to the Buddha with the thirty-two marks (of a Buddha). If someone were to use as many Buddha lands as there are sands in the Ganges River, Filled with the most supreme and wonderful flowers, to make offerings to the World Honored One (a title for the Buddha), the savior of the world,
若人至心但合掌， 發起無上菩提心， 是人所獲勝福門， 倍多於前無有量。 異此何名真供養？ 異此何名勝依止？ 若人能發菩提心， 我說名為上智者。』

「複次勝華藏！爾時彼二童子，向佛世尊復說伽陀曰：
「『能仁作大師子吼， 天人一切普得聞， 我等今對世尊前， 各發誠實最上愿： 「我等乃至未來際， 愿我所行經多劫， 隨入生死輪迴中， 救度無數眾生類。 我等今者以此緣， 盡未來際悉思念， 普為利樂諸眾生， 于無邊劫行無懈。 我等從今日已去， 永滅貪瞋癡等垢， 十方現在佛世尊， 證我所說誠無妄。 我等今發菩提心， 不樂聲聞緣覺果， 我等若有樂小心， 決定當招妄語報。 我所不樂二乘果， 但以悲心為眾生， 縱經俱胝多劫中， 愿我常行而不懈。 如佛世尊所成就， 如應佛剎廣莊嚴， 愿我當來得佛時
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本 『如果有人至誠地僅僅合掌，發起無上菩提心（Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi-citta，無上正等正覺之心）， 這個人所獲得的殊勝福德，比之前所獲得的要多出無數倍。 除此之外，什麼才稱得上是真正的供養呢？除此之外，什麼才稱得上是殊勝的依靠呢？ 如果有人能夠發起菩提心，我說這個人是具有最高智慧的人。』

『再者，勝華藏（勝華藏，菩薩名）！那時，那兩個童子，向佛世尊再次說了偈頌：
『能仁（釋迦牟尼佛的稱號）發出如獅子吼般的聲音，天人和一切眾生都普遍聽聞， 我們現在在世尊面前，各自發出真實最上的誓願： 『我們乃至未來無盡的時間裡，愿我們所行經歷無數劫， 即使隨順進入生死輪迴之中，也要救度無數的眾生。 我們現在以此因緣，盡未來際都思念著， 普遍爲了利益和安樂一切眾生，在無邊劫中修行而不懈怠。 我們從今天開始，永遠滅除貪、嗔、癡等煩惱垢染， 十方現在諸佛世尊，請證明我們所說真實不虛。 我們現在發起菩提心，不樂於聲聞（Sravaka，聽聞佛法而修行的弟子）和緣覺（Pratyekabuddha，獨自覺悟者）的果位， 如果我們有貪戀小乘之心，必定會招致妄語的果報。 我們不樂於二乘（聲聞和緣覺）的果位，只是以悲心爲了眾生， 縱然經歷無數劫的時間，愿我們常常修行而不懈怠。 如同佛世尊所成就的，如同佛剎（Buddha-ksetra，佛的國土）應有的廣闊莊嚴， 愿我將來成佛時，』
【English Translation】 English version 'If a person sincerely just joins their palms together, and generates the unsurpassed Bodhi mind (Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi-citta, the mind of supreme perfect enlightenment), The superior merit that this person obtains is immeasurably greater than what was obtained before. Other than this, what can be called true offering? Other than this, what can be called superior reliance? If a person can generate the Bodhi mind, I say that this person is one of the highest wisdom.'

'Furthermore, Sheng Hua Zang (Sheng Hua Zang, the name of a Bodhisattva)! At that time, those two youths, spoke the following verses to the World Honored Buddha again:
'The Able One (a title for Shakyamuni Buddha) roars like a lion, and all the gods and humans universally hear it, We now, in front of the World Honored One, each make our sincere and supreme vows: 'We, even into the endless future, vow that our practices will span countless kalpas, Even if we follow the cycle of birth and death, we will save countless sentient beings. We now, with this cause, will contemplate throughout the endless future, Universally for the benefit and happiness of all sentient beings, we will practice without懈怠(xie dai, laziness) in countless kalpas. From today onwards, we will forever extinguish the defilements of greed, anger, and ignorance, The Buddhas of the ten directions, please bear witness to the truth of what we say. We now generate the Bodhi mind, and do not delight in the fruits of Sravaka (a disciple who hears the Buddha's teachings and practices) and Pratyekabuddha (one who achieves enlightenment on their own), If we have a mind that clings to the small vehicle, we will surely receive the retribution of false speech. We do not delight in the fruits of the two vehicles (Sravaka and Pratyekabuddha), but only with compassion for sentient beings, Even if we go through countless kalpas, we vow to practice constantly without懈怠(xie dai, laziness). Just as the World Honored Buddha has accomplished, just as the Buddha-ksetra (Buddha's land) should be vast and adorned, May I, when I become a Buddha in the future,'
， 剎土倍多俱胝數。 又愿當來佛剎中， 無有聲聞緣覺眾， 純一菩薩所莊嚴， 廣集無量諸智聚。 愿我得是莊嚴已， 當令眾生得離垢， 從諸佛法所出生， 普使當持佛法藏。 若我今時諸所說， 真實無妄無別異， 愿此大海及山川， 乃至大地皆震動。」 當發如是愿言時， 大地即時皆震動， 不鼓音樂自然鳴， 出微妙音遍十方， 天雨眾華眾妙香， 殊麗嚴好極可愛， 俱胝百千妙天衣， 周遍繽紛而散佈。』
「爾時彼二童子，各發阿耨多羅三藐三菩提心。勝華藏！于汝意云何？彼時勝威王者豈異人乎？即今無量光如來、應供、正等正覺是。彼時寶嚴童子者，今觀自在菩薩摩訶薩是。寶上童子者，今大勢至菩薩摩訶薩是。是二菩薩，于彼師子游戲金光王如來所，首發阿耨多羅三藐三菩提心。」
複次勝華藏菩薩前白佛言：「世尊！此二大士甚為希有，如是名字難可得聞，而復具足甚深信解，所發菩提心無與等比。世尊！此二大士于師子游戲金光王如來之後，又復供養幾許諸佛？」
佛言：「善男子！所有殑伽河沙尚可知其邊際數量，此二大士于彼佛后其所供養諸佛如來，我亦不能知其邊際。何以故？此二
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本 『剎土的數量多得難以計數，達到俱胝之數。 又愿我未來的佛土之中，沒有聲聞（聽聞佛法而得道者）和緣覺（通過自身修行領悟佛法者）的眾生， 只有純粹的菩薩所莊嚴，廣泛聚集無量無邊的智慧。 愿我獲得這樣的莊嚴之後，能夠使眾生脫離煩惱的污染， 從諸佛的教法中出生，普遍地使他們能夠持有佛法的寶藏。 如果我今天所說的一切，真實不虛，沒有絲毫的虛妄和差異， 愿這大海和山川，乃至整個大地都震動起來。』 當發出這樣的願望時，大地立刻都震動起來， 沒有敲擊的音樂自然鳴響，發出微妙的聲音遍佈十方， 天空中降下各種鮮花和美妙的香氣，美麗莊嚴，極其可愛， 無數的精美天衣，周遍繽紛地散佈開來。
『那時，那兩個童子，各自發起了阿耨多羅三藐三菩提心（無上正等正覺之心）。勝華藏（菩薩名）！你認為如何？那時的勝威王者難道是其他人嗎？他就是現在的無量光如來（佛名）、應供（值得供養者）、正等正覺（完全覺悟者）。那時的寶嚴童子，就是現在的觀自在菩薩摩訶薩（大菩薩） 。寶上童子，就是現在的大勢至菩薩摩訶薩。這兩位菩薩，在那位師子游戲金光王如來（佛名）處，首次發起了阿耨多羅三藐三菩提心。』
勝華藏菩薩再次向佛稟告說：『世尊！這兩位大士真是非常稀有，這樣的名字難以聽聞，而且還具足甚深的信解，所發起的菩提心無與倫比。世尊！這兩位大士在師子游戲金光王如來之後，又供養了多少諸佛呢？』
佛說：『善男子！所有恒河沙的數量尚且可以知道其邊際，這兩位大士在那位佛之後所供養的諸佛如來，我也無法知道其邊際。為什麼呢？這兩位大士所發起的菩提心，已經超越了所有世間和出世間的數量。』
【English Translation】 English version 'The number of Buddha lands is countless, reaching billions of kotis. And may it be that in my future Buddha land, there are no Sravakas (those who attain enlightenment by hearing the Dharma) or Pratyekabuddhas (those who attain enlightenment through their own practice), But only Bodhisattvas, who are pure and adorned, widely gathering immeasurable wisdom. May I, having attained such adornment, enable all beings to be free from defilement, Born from the teachings of all Buddhas, universally enabling them to hold the treasury of the Buddha's Dharma. If all that I have spoken today is true, without falsehood or difference, May this great ocean and mountains, and even the entire earth, shake.' When such vows were made, the earth immediately shook, Music without being struck naturally resounded, emitting subtle sounds throughout the ten directions, The sky rained down various flowers and wonderful fragrances, beautiful and adorned, extremely lovely, Countless exquisite celestial garments, scattered all around in a colorful array.
'At that time, those two youths each generated the mind of Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi (the mind of unsurpassed, complete, and perfect enlightenment). O Suvarnagarbha (name of a Bodhisattva)! What do you think? Was the King of Great Majesty at that time someone else? He is now the Tathagata Amitabha (name of a Buddha), the Arhat (worthy of offerings), the Samyak-sambuddha (perfectly enlightened one). The youth Ratnavyuha at that time is now the Bodhisattva Mahasattva Avalokitesvara (great Bodhisattva). The youth Ratnottama is now the Bodhisattva Mahasattva Mahasthamaprapta. These two Bodhisattvas, at the place of the Tathagata Simhavikridita-kanakavarna (name of a Buddha), first generated the mind of Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi.'
Again, Suvarnagarbha Bodhisattva addressed the Buddha, saying: 'World Honored One! These two great beings are truly rare, such names are difficult to hear, and they also possess profound faith and understanding, and the Bodhi mind they have generated is unparalleled. World Honored One! After the Tathagata Simhavikridita-kanakavarna, how many Buddhas did these two great beings further make offerings to?'
The Buddha said: 'Good man! The number of sands in all the Ganges rivers can still be known to have a limit, but the number of Buddhas and Tathagatas that these two great beings made offerings to after that Buddha, I cannot know its limit. Why? The Bodhi mind generated by these two great beings has surpassed all worldly and transcendental numbers.'
大士悉已被于不思議鎧，具足無量殊勝功德，是故不能知其邊際。」
爾時勝華藏菩薩摩訶薩復白佛言：「世尊！彼無量功德寶莊嚴普現妙樂世界，在何方處？」
佛言：「善男子！今此西方極樂世界，即是彼往昔時無量功德寶莊嚴普現妙樂世界。」
勝華藏言：「此二大士，當於何時成就阿耨多羅三藐三菩提果？當得何等佛剎功德莊嚴？而佛壽量其數幾何？復有幾許菩薩之眾？惟愿如來、應供、正等正覺，廣為悲愍利樂一切世間天人，宣說此二大士當成佛事，令余菩薩聞已悉得大愿圓滿。」
佛言：「勝華藏！汝應善聽，極善作意，今為汝說。」是時勝華藏菩薩受教而聽。
佛言：「善男子！當知西方無量光如來，壽命無量，極不可計，假使俱胝那庾多百千劫中，亦復不能說其邊際。其佛正法住世，八萬四千那庾多劫，佛涅槃后，以諸眾生善根力故，亦得值遇余佛出世，而諸菩薩安住唸佛三昧，常得見佛中無間缺。善男子！又復無量光如來涅槃之後，其說法處七寶莊嚴妙蓮華樹，自然演出微妙法音，經於一夜至明旦時，觀自在菩薩摩訶薩，即于眾寶莊嚴菩提樹下，安處其座成等正覺。成正覺已，號曰普明高顯吉祥峰王如來、應供、正等正覺、明行足、善逝、世間解、無上士、調御丈
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本：大菩薩們都已經披上了不可思議的鎧甲，具足了無量殊勝的功德，所以無法知道他們的邊際。" 這時，勝華藏菩薩摩訶薩又對佛說：『世尊！那個無量功德寶莊嚴普現妙樂世界，在什麼地方呢？』 佛說：『善男子！現在這個西方極樂世界，就是他們過去時的無量功德寶莊嚴普現妙樂世界。』 勝華藏說：『這兩位大士，將在什麼時候成就阿耨多羅三藐三菩提（無上正等正覺）的果位？將得到什麼樣的佛剎功德莊嚴？而佛的壽命有多長？又有多少菩薩的眷屬？希望如來、應供、正等正覺，爲了悲憫利益一切世間的天人，廣泛宣說這兩位大士將要成就的佛事，讓其他菩薩聽了之後都能得到大愿圓滿。』 佛說：『勝華藏！你應該好好聽，用心思考，現在為你解說。』這時，勝華藏菩薩接受教誨，專心聽講。 佛說：『善男子！應當知道西方無量光如來（Amitabha Buddha），壽命無量，極其不可計數，即使在俱胝（千萬）那庾多（億）百千劫中，也無法說盡他的邊際。他的佛法住世，有八萬四千那庾多劫。佛涅槃后，因為眾生的善根力，也能遇到其他佛出世，而那些安住于唸佛三昧的菩薩，常常能夠見到佛，中間沒有間斷。善男子！又無量光如來涅槃之後，他說法的地方，七寶莊嚴的妙蓮花樹，自然發出微妙的法音，經過一夜到天亮時，觀自在菩薩摩訶薩（Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva），就在眾寶莊嚴的菩提樹下，安坐其位，成就正等正覺。成就正覺后，號為普明高顯吉祥峰王如來、應供、正等正覺、明行足、善逝、世間解、無上士、調御丈
【English Translation】 English version: The great Bodhisattvas are already clad in inconceivable armor, possessing immeasurable and supreme merits, therefore, their limits cannot be known.』 At that time, the Bodhisattva Mahasattva Sheng Huazang (Supreme Flower Treasury) again said to the Buddha: 『World Honored One! Where is that world of immeasurable meritorious adornments, the wondrously manifested joy world?』 The Buddha said: 『Good man! This Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss is the very same world of immeasurable meritorious adornments, the wondrously manifested joy world, from their past.』 Sheng Huazang said: 『When will these two great beings achieve the fruit of Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi (unexcelled complete enlightenment)? What kind of Buddha-land meritorious adornments will they obtain? And how long will the Buddha's lifespan be? How many Bodhisattvas will there be in their assembly? May the Tathagata, Arhat, Samyak-sambuddha, out of great compassion, benefit all beings in the world, both gods and humans, widely proclaim the Buddha-deeds that these two great beings will accomplish, so that other Bodhisattvas, upon hearing this, may all have their great vows fulfilled.』 The Buddha said: 『Sheng Huazang! You should listen well and pay close attention, now I will explain it to you.』 At that time, the Bodhisattva Sheng Huazang received the teaching and listened attentively. The Buddha said: 『Good man! You should know that the Western Amitabha Tathagata (Immeasurable Light Buddha), has an immeasurable lifespan, which is extremely uncountable. Even if one were to count for kotis (ten million) of nayutas (hundred million) of hundreds of thousands of kalpas (eons), one could not describe its limits. His Dharma will abide in the world for eighty-four thousand nayutas of kalpas. After the Buddha's Nirvana, due to the power of sentient beings' good roots, they will also encounter other Buddhas appearing in the world. And those Bodhisattvas who abide in the Samadhi of Buddha-Recollection will always be able to see the Buddha without interruption. Good man! Furthermore, after the Nirvana of Amitabha Tathagata, the place where he taught the Dharma, the wondrous lotus trees adorned with seven treasures, will naturally emit subtle Dharma sounds. From one night until dawn, the Bodhisattva Mahasattva Avalokiteśvara (Contemplating the Sounds of the World) will sit upon his seat under the Bodhi tree adorned with many treasures and attain complete enlightenment. After attaining complete enlightenment, he will be named Universal Illumination, Lofty and Auspicious Peak King Tathagata, Arhat, Samyak-sambuddha, Vidyā-carana-sampanna, Sugata, Lokavid, Anuttara, Purusa-damya-sarathi
夫、天人師、佛、世尊。勝華藏！彼佛剎土功德莊嚴等事，假使我于殑伽沙數劫中，巧以譬喻言詞，而亦不能說其少分。又善男子！如是佛剎功德莊嚴，若以師子游戲金光王如來剎土功德莊嚴而較量者，即前百分不及一分，千分百千分亦不及一，數分喻分乃至烏波尼殺曇分皆不及一。又彼剎中無有聲聞緣覺名字，純一清凈大菩薩眾。又善男子！總以無量光如來會中一切聲聞緣覺菩薩合集較量，而普明高顯吉祥峰王如來會中菩薩之眾，亦復倍多。其佛壽命九十六俱胝那庾多百千劫，正法住世六十俱胝劫。」
勝華藏菩薩白佛言：「世尊！彼佛世界豈不亦以極樂為名邪？」
佛言：「不也。善男子！彼世界名眾寶普嚴。彼佛如來隨其所應作諸利樂，而此大勢至菩薩摩訶薩于彼法中，隨佛壽量住世久近，承事供養，乃至彼佛入涅槃后，奉持佛法令法久住，至於最後法欲滅時，大勢至菩薩于其剎中，得成阿耨多羅三藐三菩提果。成正覺已，號曰善住功德寶峰王如來、應供、正等正覺、明行足、善逝、世間解、無上士、調御丈夫、天人師、佛、世尊。其佛剎中所有功德莊嚴等事，菩薩大眾皆悉具足，其佛壽命及正法住世，與普明高顯吉祥峰王如來皆悉同等，一切圓滿不增不減。」
複次佛告勝華藏菩薩摩訶薩
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本：『夫，天人師（指佛陀，是天界和人間的導師）、佛（覺悟者）、世尊（受人尊敬的）。勝華藏（菩薩名）！彼佛剎土（佛的國土）的功德莊嚴等事，假使我于殑伽沙數（恒河沙數，形容極多）劫中，巧以譬喻言詞，而也不能說其少分。又善男子！如是佛剎功德莊嚴，若以師子游戲金光王如來剎土功德莊嚴而較量者，即前百分不及一分，千分百千分也不及一，數分喻分乃至烏波尼殺曇分（極小的單位）皆不及一。又彼剎中沒有聲聞（聽聞佛法而修行的人）緣覺（靠自己領悟佛法的人）的名字，純一清凈大菩薩眾。又善男子！總以無量光如來會中一切聲聞緣覺菩薩合集較量，而普明高顯吉祥峰王如來會中菩薩之眾，也更加倍多。其佛壽命九十六俱胝（億）那庾多（兆）百千劫，正法住世六十俱胝劫。』 勝華藏菩薩對佛說：『世尊！彼佛世界難道不也以極樂為名嗎？』 佛說：『不是的。善男子！彼世界名叫眾寶普嚴。彼佛如來隨其所應作諸利樂，而此大勢至菩薩摩訶薩（大菩薩）于彼法中，隨佛壽量住世久近，承事供養，乃至彼佛入涅槃（佛的圓寂）后，奉持佛法令法久住，至於最後法欲滅時，大勢至菩薩于其剎中，得成阿耨多羅三藐三菩提果（無上正等正覺的果位）。成正覺后，號曰善住功德寶峰王如來、應供（值得供養的人）、正等正覺（完全正確的覺悟）、明行足（智慧和行為都圓滿）、善逝（到達美好境界的人）、世間解（瞭解世間一切的人）、無上士（無與倫比的人）、調御丈夫（能調伏眾生的人）、天人師、佛、世尊。其佛剎中所有功德莊嚴等事，菩薩大眾都完全具足，其佛壽命及正法住世，與普明高顯吉祥峰王如來都完全相同，一切圓滿不增不減。』 再次，佛告訴勝華藏菩薩摩訶薩
【English Translation】 English version: 『O, Teacher of Gods and Humans (referring to the Buddha, the guide of gods and humans), Buddha (the enlightened one), World Honored One (the respected one). O, Superior Flower Treasury (name of a Bodhisattva)! The merits and adornments of that Buddha-land (Buddha's realm), even if I were to use skillful metaphors and words for kalpas (eons) as numerous as the sands of the Ganges, I would not be able to describe even a small fraction of it. Furthermore, O good man! If the merits and adornments of such a Buddha-land were compared to the merits and adornments of the Lion's Play Golden Light King Tathagata's (another Buddha) land, the former would not equal one part in a hundred, not one in a thousand, not one in a hundred thousand, not one in a numerical part, not one in a metaphorical part, and not even one in an Upanishad part (an extremely small unit). Moreover, in that land, there are no names of Sravakas (those who practice by hearing the Dharma) or Pratyekabuddhas (those who attain enlightenment on their own), only a pure assembly of great Bodhisattvas. Furthermore, O good man! If all the Sravakas, Pratyekabuddhas, and Bodhisattvas in the assembly of Immeasurable Light Tathagata were gathered and compared, the assembly of Bodhisattvas in the assembly of Universal Brightness High Manifestation Auspicious Peak King Tathagata would be many times greater. The lifespan of that Buddha is ninety-six kotis (hundred million) nayutas (trillion) hundred thousand kalpas, and the duration of the true Dharma is sixty kotis kalpas.』 Superior Flower Treasury Bodhisattva said to the Buddha, 『World Honored One! Is that Buddha-world not also named Blissful Land?』 The Buddha said, 『No, it is not. O good man! That world is named Universal Adornment of Many Treasures. That Buddha Tathagata, according to what is appropriate, performs various beneficial and joyful acts. And this Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva Mahasattva (great Bodhisattva), in that Dharma, according to the length of the Buddha's lifespan, serves and makes offerings, and even after that Buddha enters Nirvana (Buddha's passing), upholds the Buddha's teachings to make the Dharma endure. When the Dharma is about to perish, Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva, in that land, will attain Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi (the fruit of unsurpassed, complete, and perfect enlightenment). After attaining enlightenment, he will be named Good Abiding Merit Treasure Peak King Tathagata, Worthy of Offerings, Completely and Perfectly Enlightened, Perfect in Wisdom and Conduct, Well-Gone, Knower of the World, Unsurpassed One, Tamer of Men, Teacher of Gods and Humans, Buddha, World Honored One. All the merits and adornments in that Buddha-land are fully possessed by the assembly of Bodhisattvas. The lifespan of that Buddha and the duration of the true Dharma are completely the same as those of Universal Brightness High Manifestation Auspicious Peak King Tathagata, all perfect without increase or decrease.』 Furthermore, the Buddha told Superior Flower Treasury Bodhisattva Mahasattva
言：「汝今當知，普明高顯吉祥峰王如來、善住功德寶峰王如來，如是名字，若善男子善女人暫得聞者，是人當得不退轉于阿耨多羅三藐三菩提。又勝華藏！若善男子善女人，得聞過去師子游戲金光王如來及彼未來普明高顯吉祥峰王如來、善住功德寶峰王如來名字之者，隨彼聚落族氏之中，一切女人皆轉女身而成男子，四十俱胝劫中，背于生死，轉生當得清凈出家，常得見佛聞法，承事僧伽，世世所生具宿命智，及得總持無礙辯才，不退轉于阿耨多羅三藐三菩提。」
爾時世尊作是說時，會中有九十六俱胝天人，異口同音作如是言：「南無十方三世一切諸佛，及未來世普明高顯吉祥峰王如來、善住功德寶峰王如來，普集一切諸佛一切善利，我皆隨喜，我等悉發阿耨多羅三藐三菩提心。」
即時諸佛咸為記言：「汝等當得不退轉于阿耨多羅三藐三菩提。」
爾時會中有七千菩薩得無生法忍，八十四那庾多眾生遠塵離垢得法眼凈，八千苾芻無復諸漏得心解脫。
爾時觀自在菩薩摩訶薩、大勢至菩薩摩訶薩，於此會中如其所應現諸色相神通事已，一切眾會皆悉得見。是時十方無量阿僧祇諸佛世尊見如是相，及聞宣說彼二菩薩當成佛事已，咸共贊言：「希有世尊釋迦牟尼如來，能善護念是二菩薩，我
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本：佛說：『你們現在應當知道，普明高顯吉祥峰王如來（Puming Gaoxian Jixiangfeng Wang Rulai，意為普遍光明、高顯、吉祥山峰之王如來）、善住功德寶峰王如來（Shanzhu Gongde Baofeng Wang Rulai，意為善於安住功德珍寶山峰之王如來），如果善男子善女人能夠暫時聽到這些如來的名字，這個人就能在證得無上正等正覺的道路上永不退轉。還有，勝華藏（Shenghuazang，菩薩名）！如果善男子善女人，能夠聽到過去師子游戲金光王如來（Shizi Youxi Jinguang Wang Rulai，意為獅子嬉戲金光之王如來）以及未來普明高顯吉祥峰王如來、善住功德寶峰王如來的名字，那麼在他們所居住的村落或家族中，所有的女人都會轉變為男子之身，在四十俱胝劫（jùzhī jié，俱胝為數量單位，劫為時間單位）中，背離生死輪迴，轉生后將獲得清凈出家的機會，常常能夠見到佛，聽聞佛法，侍奉僧團，世世所生都具有宿命通，並且獲得總持無礙的辯才，在證得無上正等正覺的道路上永不退轉。』 當時，世尊說這些話的時候，法會中有九十六俱胝天人，異口同聲地說：『頂禮十方三世一切諸佛，以及未來世的普明高顯吉祥峰王如來、善住功德寶峰王如來，普遍聚集一切諸佛的一切善利，我等都隨喜讚歎，我等都發起了無上正等正覺之心。』 當時，諸佛都為他們授記說：『你們都將證得無上正等正覺，永不退轉。』 當時，法會中有七千菩薩證得了無生法忍，八十四那庾多（nàyǔduō，數量單位）眾生遠離塵垢，獲得了清凈的法眼，八千比丘不再有煩惱，獲得了心解脫。 當時，觀自在菩薩摩訶薩（Guanzizai Pusa Mohesa，意為觀世音大菩薩）、大勢至菩薩摩訶薩（Dashizhi Pusa Mohesa，意為大勢至大菩薩），在這個法會中，根據他們的能力顯現了各種色相和神通，讓所有與會大眾都能夠看到。這時，十方無量阿僧祇（asēngqí，數量單位）諸佛世尊看到這樣的景象，並且聽聞宣說這兩位菩薩將要成就佛果的事情后，都一起讚歎說：『稀有啊，世尊釋迦牟尼如來（Shijiamouni Rulai，意為釋迦牟尼佛），能夠善加護念這兩位菩薩，我等也隨喜讚歎。』
【English Translation】 English version: The Buddha said, 'You should now know that if a virtuous man or woman temporarily hears the names of Tathagata Puming Gaoxian Jixiangfeng Wang Rulai (meaning the Tathagata King of Universal Brightness, High Manifestation, and Auspicious Peak) and Tathagata Shanzhu Gongde Baofeng Wang Rulai (meaning the Tathagata King of Good Abiding, Merit, and Treasure Peak), that person will attain non-retrogression on the path to Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi. Furthermore, Sheng Huazang! If a virtuous man or woman hears the names of the past Tathagata Shizi Youxi Jinguang Wang Rulai (meaning the Tathagata King of Lion Play and Golden Light) and the future Tathagata Puming Gaoxian Jixiangfeng Wang Rulai and Tathagata Shanzhu Gongde Baofeng Wang Rulai, then in their villages or families, all women will transform into men. For forty kotis of kalpas, they will turn away from the cycle of birth and death, and upon rebirth, they will have the opportunity to be ordained into a pure monastic life. They will always be able to see the Buddha, hear the Dharma, and serve the Sangha. In each life, they will possess the knowledge of past lives, and they will attain unobstructed eloquence with total retention, never regressing on the path to Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi.' At that time, when the World Honored One spoke these words, there were ninety-six kotis of devas in the assembly who, with one voice, said, 'Homage to all Buddhas of the ten directions and three times, and to the future Tathagata Puming Gaoxian Jixiangfeng Wang Rulai and Tathagata Shanzhu Gongde Baofeng Wang Rulai. We universally gather all the good benefits of all Buddhas, and we all rejoice in them. We all have generated the mind of Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi.' Then, all the Buddhas gave them predictions, saying, 'You will all attain non-retrogression on the path to Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi.' At that time, there were seven thousand Bodhisattvas in the assembly who attained the forbearance of non-origination, eighty-four nayutas of beings who were freed from dust and defilement and attained the pure Dharma eye, and eight thousand Bhikshus who were free from all outflows and attained liberation of mind. At that time, Bodhisattva Mahasattva Guanzizai (Avalokiteshvara) and Bodhisattva Mahasattva Dashizhi (Mahasthamaprapta), in this assembly, manifested various forms and supernatural powers according to their abilities, so that all in the assembly could see them. Then, the countless Asankhyeya Buddhas of the ten directions, having seen these signs and heard the proclamation that these two Bodhisattvas would achieve Buddhahood, all praised together, saying, 'Rare indeed is the World Honored One, Tathagata Shakyamuni, who is able to protect and care for these two Bodhisattvas. We also rejoice in this.'
等諸佛亦共稱讚。」
複次勝華藏菩薩摩訶薩白佛言：「世尊！佛所宣說如是甚深微妙經典，若善男子善女人，有能受持讀誦為他廣說者，得幾所福？」
佛言：「止止。善男子！勿致斯問。何以故？諸有劣信解者，于佛所說如是深經不能生信，故我不說。」
勝華藏菩薩白佛言：「世尊！今此會中亦有廣大具深信解諸善男子善女人等，惟愿如來略為宣說受持功德，與后末世一切眾生作大明照。」
佛言勝華藏：「諦聽諦聽！今為汝說。」時勝華藏菩薩受教而聽。
佛言：「善男子！假使有人，有大勢力，福德具足，悉能了知眾生界分，作如是言：『如佛所說世界無邊眾生無盡，我能于彼一切眾生頂肩荷負，經無量無邊俱胝劫數，復能以其飲食衣服一切樂具，周遍供給一切眾生。』勝華藏！于汝意云何，此人以是因緣得福多不？」
勝華藏白佛言：「甚多世尊！若有人經一彈指間，於一眾生起慈心者得福尚多，況如是邪？」
佛言：「勝華藏！我今實言告汝，若有善男子善女人於此深經自能生信、勸令他信者，其所得福倍多於彼。又若有人於此深經能受持讀誦為他廣說者，當知是人，以菩提心而為依止。」
爾時勝華藏菩薩摩訶薩白佛言：「世尊！如來所說如是深
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本：諸佛也共同稱讚此經。』
勝華藏菩薩摩訶薩（Mahasattva，偉大的菩薩）再次對佛說：『世尊！佛所宣說的如此甚深微妙的經典，如果善男子善女人，能夠受持、讀誦併爲他人廣泛宣說，能獲得多少福德呢？』
佛說：『停止，停止。善男子！不要問這個問題。為什麼呢？因為那些信心和理解力低下的人，對於佛所說的如此深奧的經典不能產生信心，所以我才不說。』
勝華藏菩薩對佛說：『世尊！現在這個法會中也有許多具有深厚信心和理解力的善男子善女人等，只希望如來能夠簡略地宣說受持此經典的功德，為後世末法時代的一切眾生作大光明照耀。』
佛對勝華藏說：『仔細聽，仔細聽！我現在為你解說。』當時，勝華藏菩薩接受教誨，專心聽講。
佛說：『善男子！假設有人，具有強大的勢力，福德圓滿，完全能夠了解眾生的界限，並說：『如佛所說，世界無邊，眾生無盡，我能夠將所有這些眾生都頂在頭上或肩上揹負，經歷無量無邊的俱胝（koti，千萬）劫數，並且還能用飲食、衣服和一切快樂的用具，周遍地供給所有眾生。』勝華藏！你認為如何，這個人因為這個因緣得到的福德多不多呢？』
勝華藏對佛說：『非常多，世尊！如果有人在一彈指間，對一個眾生生起慈悲心，所得到的福德尚且很多，何況是像這樣呢？』
佛說：『勝華藏！我現在真實地告訴你，如果有善男子善女人，對於這部深奧的經典，自己能夠生起信心，並且勸導他人也生起信心，他們所得到的福德比那個人還要多很多倍。而且，如果有人能夠受持、讀誦這部深奧的經典，併爲他人廣泛宣說，應當知道這個人是以菩提心（bodhicitta，覺悟之心）作為依靠。』
這時，勝華藏菩薩摩訶薩對佛說：『世尊！如來所說的如此深奧的經典，'
【English Translation】 English version: All Buddhas also jointly praise it.』
Then, Mahasattva (great being) Superior Flower Treasury Bodhisattva said to the Buddha, 『World Honored One! If a virtuous man or virtuous woman can receive, uphold, read, recite, and widely explain such a profound and subtle scripture as the one the Buddha has expounded, how much merit will they obtain?』
The Buddha said, 『Stop, stop. Virtuous man! Do not ask this question. Why? Because those with inferior faith and understanding cannot generate faith in such a profound scripture spoken by the Buddha, therefore I do not speak of it.』
Superior Flower Treasury Bodhisattva said to the Buddha, 『World Honored One! In this assembly, there are also many virtuous men and virtuous women who possess deep faith and understanding. I only wish that the Tathagata (Buddha) would briefly explain the merits of receiving and upholding this scripture, so that it may serve as a great light for all sentient beings in the future Dharma-ending age.』
The Buddha said to Superior Flower Treasury, 『Listen carefully, listen carefully! Now I will explain it for you.』 At that time, Superior Flower Treasury Bodhisattva received the teaching and listened attentively.
The Buddha said, 『Virtuous man! Suppose there is a person with great power and abundant merit, who is fully capable of understanding the boundaries of sentient beings, and says, 『As the Buddha has said, the worlds are boundless and sentient beings are endless. I can carry all these sentient beings on my head or shoulders for countless kalpas (aeons), and I can also provide all sentient beings with food, clothing, and all kinds of enjoyable things.』 Superior Flower Treasury! What do you think, would this person obtain much merit from this cause?』
Superior Flower Treasury said to the Buddha, 『Very much, World Honored One! If someone generates a compassionate heart towards one sentient being for the duration of a finger snap, the merit obtained is already much, how much more so in this case?』
The Buddha said, 『Superior Flower Treasury! I now truthfully tell you, if a virtuous man or virtuous woman can generate faith in this profound scripture themselves and persuade others to generate faith as well, the merit they obtain is many times greater than that person. Moreover, if someone can receive, uphold, read, recite, and widely explain this profound scripture, know that this person relies on the bodhicitta (mind of enlightenment).』
At that time, Mahasattva Superior Flower Treasury Bodhisattva said to the Buddha, 『World Honored One! Such a profound scripture as the one the Tathagata has spoken,』
經，若佛現在若涅槃后，我當受持讀誦為他廣說，宣通流佈使不斷絕。」
勝華藏菩薩發是言時，會中有九十六俱胝菩薩異口同音作如是言：「世尊！我等於佛所說深經，亦當受持讀誦為他廣說。」
爾時娑婆世界主大梵天王、帝釋天主、護世四王，及余無數諸天子眾，各以天曼陀羅華散於佛上，及以天華散諸菩薩，復作百千俱胝種天妙音樂而為供養。又發是言：「一切眾生得聞如是甚深正法，光明普照得大善利，我等於此法門咸當受持宣通流佈。」
佛言：「如是如是。諸善男子！如汝所說。今此正法不可思議，若人曾於十千佛所深種善根，是人方得此經墮手，況復有能受持讀誦，生信解邪！」
複次佛告勝華藏菩薩摩訶薩言：「今此正法若得聞者，隨彼方處一切女人轉成男子，唯除二種，謂慳、嫉者。」
即時會中有一女人，名曰離塵，心生信解，從座而起，前白佛言：「世尊！我今內心已滅慳嫉，我發阿耨多羅三藐三菩提心。若我發心真實無妄，當得成佛。及如佛所言，聞此法時隨處即得轉女人相。是事實者，愿我轉身得成男子。」爾時彼女發如是言已，即得轉成男子之身。時佛為授不退轉阿耨多羅三藐三菩提記，當得成佛，號除一切煩惱如來、應供、正等正覺。
佛說
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本：『經文說，無論是佛陀在世還是涅槃之後，我都應當受持、讀誦，併爲他人廣泛宣說，使其流傳不絕。』 勝華藏菩薩（菩薩名，意為殊勝的蓮花寶藏）說這番話時，法會中有九十六俱胝（俱胝為印度數字單位，此處指極多）菩薩異口同聲地說：『世尊！我們對於佛陀所說的甚深經典，也應當受持、讀誦，併爲他人廣泛宣說。』 當時，娑婆世界（我們所處的世界）之主大梵天王、帝釋天主、護世四王，以及其他無數的天子們，各自以天界的曼陀羅花散在佛陀身上，又以天花散在諸位菩薩身上，還演奏了百千俱胝種天界美妙的音樂作為供養。他們還發愿說：『一切眾生如果能夠聽聞如此甚深的佛法，光明普照，獲得巨大的利益，我們對於這個法門都應當受持並使其流傳。』 佛陀說：『是這樣的，是這樣的。各位善男子！正如你們所說。如今這個正法不可思議，如果有人曾經在十千佛所深深種下善根，這個人才能得到這部經書，更何況能夠受持、讀誦，生起信心和理解呢！』 佛陀又對勝華藏菩薩摩訶薩（菩薩中的大菩薩）說：『如今這個正法如果有人聽聞，那麼在任何地方，所有的女人都會轉變成男子，只有兩種情況例外，那就是慳吝和嫉妒的人。』 當時，法會中有一位名叫離塵的女人，心中生起信心和理解，她從座位上站起來，走到佛陀面前說：『世尊！我現在的內心已經消滅了慳吝和嫉妒，我發起了阿耨多羅三藐三菩提心（無上正等正覺之心）。如果我發心真實不虛，應當能夠成佛。並且如佛陀所說，聽聞此法時，在任何地方都能立即轉變女身。如果這是事實，愿我轉身成為男子。』當時，她說完這番話后，立即轉變成男子之身。佛陀當時就為她授記，將來必定證得阿耨多羅三藐三菩提，當得成佛，佛號為除一切煩惱如來（如來為佛的十號之一）、應供（應受人天供養）、正等正覺（佛的智慧）。 佛陀說
【English Translation】 English version: 'The sutra says, whether the Buddha is present or after his Nirvana, I shall uphold, recite, and widely explain it to others, ensuring its continuous propagation.' When Bodhisattva Superior Flower Treasury (a Bodhisattva's name, meaning the excellent lotus treasure) spoke these words, ninety-six kotis (koti is an Indian numerical unit, here meaning extremely many) of Bodhisattvas in the assembly said in unison: 'World Honored One! We too shall uphold, recite, and widely explain the profound sutras spoken by the Buddha.' At that time, the Great Brahma King, the lord of the Saha world (the world we live in), Indra, the lord of the gods, the Four Guardian Kings, and countless other heavenly beings, each scattered celestial Mandarava flowers upon the Buddha, and celestial flowers upon the Bodhisattvas, and also offered hundreds of thousands of kotis of kinds of celestial music. They also made a vow, saying: 'If all sentient beings can hear such profound Dharma, be illuminated by its light, and gain great benefits, we shall all uphold and propagate this Dharma gate.' The Buddha said: 'So it is, so it is. Good men! As you have said. This Dharma is inconceivable. If a person has deeply planted good roots at the place of ten thousand Buddhas, that person can obtain this sutra, let alone uphold, recite, and generate faith and understanding!' The Buddha further said to Bodhisattva Mahasattva Superior Flower Treasury (a great Bodhisattva among Bodhisattvas): 'If anyone hears this Dharma, then in any place, all women will transform into men, except for two types of people, namely those who are stingy and jealous.' At that time, there was a woman named Free from Dust in the assembly, who generated faith and understanding in her heart. She rose from her seat and said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One! My heart has now eliminated stinginess and jealousy, and I have generated the mind of Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi (the mind of unsurpassed perfect enlightenment). If my aspiration is true and not false, I should be able to attain Buddhahood. And as the Buddha said, upon hearing this Dharma, one can immediately transform from a woman's body in any place. If this is true, may I transform into a man.' At that time, after she spoke these words, she immediately transformed into a man's body. The Buddha then prophesied that she would certainly attain Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi in the future, and would become a Buddha named Tathagata (one of the ten titles of a Buddha) Who Eliminates All Afflictions, Worthy of Offerings, and Perfectly Enlightened. The Buddha said
