大乘寶月童子問法經
西天譯經三藏朝散大夫試鴻臚少卿傳法大師臣施護奉 詔譯
如是我聞：
一時，佛在王舍城鷲峰山中，與大苾芻眾五萬五千俱胝；一心行菩提行，無能勝菩薩等八萬百千無數俱胝那臾多；諸天人等百千那臾多。
爾時，世尊于其食時著衣持缽，與苾芻眾並諸菩薩、天龍神等，恭敬圍繞，入王舍大城，于彼乞食。
是時，頻婆娑羅王子名寶月童子，因為事故乘大龍象出王舍大城。遙見世尊，即下龍象，而詣佛所。到已致敬，頭面禮足，住立一面。寶月童子白佛言：「如來、應供、正等正覺！唯愿世尊，說彼十方如來所有名號。若有信心善男子、善女人，聞是名已，所有五逆等罪及一切業障，悉皆消除，于無上正等正覺速得不退。」
爾時，世尊告寶月童子言：「善哉，善哉！汝能樂聞如來名號之義，此意賢善，一切罪業決定消除。童子！汝今諦聽，善思念之！我為汝說。
「童子！過於東方百千俱胝那臾多恒河沙等佛剎，彼有世界名曰無憂，彼有如來，名賢吉祥，應供、等正覺，少病少惱，乃至為諸眾生恒說妙法。彼佛壽命，六萬百千俱胝那臾多無
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本 如是我聞： 一時，佛陀在王舍城（Rājagṛha）的鷲峰山（Gṛdhrakūṭa）中，與五萬五千俱胝（koṭi，意為千萬）的大比丘眾在一起；還有一心修行菩提道的、無能勝菩薩（Ajita Bodhisattva）等八萬百千無數俱胝那由他（nayuta，意為百萬）的菩薩；以及百千那由他的諸天人等。 那時，世尊在進食的時候，穿上袈裟，拿著缽，與比丘眾以及諸菩薩、天龍神等，恭敬地圍繞著，進入王舍大城，在那裡乞食。 這時，頻婆娑羅（Bimbisāra）王的王子，名叫寶月童子（Ratnacandra Kumāra），因為有事，乘坐大龍象出王舍大城。他遠遠地看見世尊，立刻下龍象，前往佛陀所在之處。到達后，他向佛陀致敬，頭面禮足，站立在一旁。寶月童子對佛陀說：『如來、應供、正等正覺！唯愿世尊，宣說十方如來所有的名號。如果有信心善男子、善女人，聽聞這些名號后，所有五逆等罪以及一切業障，都能夠消除，並且在無上正等正覺上迅速得到不退轉。』 那時，世尊告訴寶月童子說：『善哉，善哉！你能夠樂意聽聞如來名號的意義，這個心意很好，一切罪業必定消除。童子！你現在仔細聽，好好地思考！我為你宣說。』 『童子！在東方，經過百千俱胝那由他恒河沙數（gaṅgā-nadī-vālukā，意為恒河沙）的佛剎（buddhakṣetra，意為佛土），那裡有一個世界，名叫無憂（Aśoka），那裡有一位如來，名叫賢吉祥（Bhadraśrī），應供、等正覺，少病少惱，乃至為諸眾生恒常宣說微妙的佛法。那位佛的壽命，有六萬百千俱胝那由他無量劫。』
【English Translation】 English version Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was in Mount Gṛdhrakūṭa in Rājagṛha, together with a great assembly of fifty-five koṭis (ten million) of bhikṣus; eighty hundred thousand countless koṭis of nayutas (one million) of Bodhisattvas, such as Ajita Bodhisattva, who were single-mindedly practicing the Bodhi path; and hundreds of thousands of nayutas of devas and humans. Then, at mealtime, the World Honored One, wearing his robes and carrying his bowl, entered the great city of Rājagṛha, respectfully surrounded by the bhikṣus, Bodhisattvas, devas, nāgas, and others, to beg for alms. At that time, Prince Ratnacandra Kumāra, the son of King Bimbisāra, was riding a great dragon elephant out of the city of Rājagṛha on some business. Seeing the World Honored One from afar, he immediately dismounted the elephant and went to where the Buddha was. Having arrived, he paid homage, bowed his head to the feet of the Buddha, and stood to one side. Ratnacandra Kumāra said to the Buddha, 'Tathāgata, Arhat, Samyaksaṃbuddha! May the World Honored One please speak of the names of all the Tathāgatas in the ten directions. If faithful good men and good women hear these names, all their sins, such as the five heinous crimes, and all karmic obstacles will be eliminated, and they will quickly attain non-retrogression in Anuttarā-samyak-saṃbodhi.' Then, the World Honored One said to Ratnacandra Kumāra, 'Excellent, excellent! You are delighted to hear the meaning of the Tathāgata's names. This intention is virtuous, and all karmic sins will certainly be eliminated. Child! Now listen carefully and contemplate well! I will speak for you.' 'Child! Passing beyond hundreds of thousands of koṭis of nayutas of Buddha-kṣetras (Buddha-fields) as numerous as the sands of the Ganges River (gaṅgā-nadī-vālukā) to the east, there is a world called Aśoka (Free from Sorrow). There is a Tathāgata there named Bhadraśrī (Auspicious Glory), Arhat, Samyaksaṃbuddha, who is free from illness and affliction, and who constantly expounds the wonderful Dharma for all beings. The lifespan of that Buddha is six hundred thousand koṭis of nayutas of immeasurable kalpas.'

佛言：「童子！東北方過百千俱胝那臾多恒河沙等佛剎，彼有世界名曰安樂，彼有如來，名蓮華光嬉
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本：經過無數劫。那個世界沒有日月晝夜，只有佛光普照一切，也照耀地獄、傍生（畜生）、焰魔羅界（餓鬼界）的一切眾生，使他們得到解脫，無數眾生證得無生法忍（對諸法不生不滅的真理的領悟）。 佛說：『童子！南方經過百千俱胝那臾多（數量單位，表示極大的數量）恒河沙等佛剎（佛所教化的世界），那裡有一個世界名叫寂靜，那裡有一位如來，名叫無邊光，應供（值得供養）、正等正覺（完全覺悟者），為一切眾生恒常宣說微妙的佛法。』 佛說：『童子！西方經過百千俱胝那臾多恒河沙等佛剎，那裡有一個世界名叫歡喜，那裡有一位如來，名叫喜吉祥，應供、正等正覺，為一切眾生恒常宣說微妙的佛法。』 佛說：『童子！北方經過百千俱胝那臾多恒河沙等佛剎，那裡有一個世界名叫不動，那裡有一位如來，名叫寶幢，應供、正等正覺，為一切眾生恒常宣說微妙的佛法。』 佛說：『童子！東南方經過百千俱胝那臾多恒河沙等佛剎，那裡有一個世界名叫正行，那裡有一位如來，名叫無憂吉祥，應供、正等正覺，為一切眾生恒常宣說微妙的佛法。』 佛說：『童子！西南方經過百千俱胝那臾多恒河沙等佛剎，那裡有一個世界名叫寶幢吉祥，那裡有一位如來，名叫寶幢，應供、正等正覺，為一切眾生恒常宣說微妙的佛法。』 佛說：『童子！西北方經過百千俱胝那臾多恒河沙等佛剎，那裡有一個世界名叫妙聲，那裡有一位如來，名叫吉祥花，應供、正等正覺，為一切眾生恒常宣說微妙的佛法。』 佛說：『童子！東北方經過百千俱胝那臾多恒河沙等佛剎，那裡有一個世界名叫安樂，那裡有一位如來，名叫蓮華光嬉（蓮花光遊戲），應供、正等正覺，為一切眾生恒常宣說微妙的佛法。』
【English Translation】 English version: Through countless kalpas (eons). In that world, there are no sun, moon, day, or night; only the Buddha's light shines universally, illuminating all beings in hell, the animal realm (tiryak), and the realm of Yama (pretaloka), enabling them to attain liberation. Countless beings attain the 'anutpattika-dharma-ksanti' (the acceptance of the non-arising of all dharmas). The Buddha said, 'O son! To the south, beyond hundreds of thousands of kotis (a large number) of nayutas (another large number) of Ganges sands of Buddha-lands, there is a world named Tranquility. There is a Tathagata (Buddha), named Boundless Light, an Arhat (worthy of offerings), a Samyak-sambuddha (perfectly enlightened one), who constantly expounds the wonderful Dharma for all beings.'

戲智，應供、正等正覺，為諸眾生恒說妙法。」
佛言：「童子！下方過百千俱胝那臾多恒河沙等佛剎，彼有世界名曰廣大，彼有如來，名光明吉祥，應供、正等正覺，為諸眾生恒說妙法。」
佛言：「童子！上方過百千俱胝那臾多恒河沙等佛剎，彼有世界名為月光，彼有如來，名財吉祥，應供、正等正覺，為諸眾生恒說妙法。
「童子！如是一切世界佛剎，皆有清凈旃檀樓閣，所有如來名號，若人聞已，恭敬受持、書寫讀誦、廣為人說，所有五逆等一切罪業悉皆消除，亦不墮地獄、傍生、焰魔羅界，于無上正等正覺速得不退。
「于意云何？童子！於過去大無數，及廣大無邊無數劫，時有世界名曰寶生，彼有如來，名精進吉祥，應供、正等正覺，彼十如來於精進吉祥佛所為菩薩位，于其佛前供養髮愿：『我等各于佛剎成無上正等正覺之時，若有眾生經剎那間至須臾之間，聞我十佛名號，聞已恭敬受持、書寫讀誦、廣為人說，所有五逆等一切罪業悉皆消除，亦不墮地獄、傍生、焰魔羅界，于無上正等正覺速得不退。』」
爾時，寶月童子如是聞已，而復白言：「世尊！彼佛如來壽量云何？」
世尊答言：「彼佛壽十阿僧祇、百千俱胝、那臾多世界微塵等劫。」
童子聞已
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本：『戲智（菩薩名），應供（值得供養的人）、正等正覺（完全覺悟的佛陀），為一切眾生恒常宣說微妙的佛法。』 佛陀說：『童子！下方經過百千俱胝那由他恒河沙數（極多的數量）的佛剎（佛陀教化的世界），那裡有一個世界名為廣大，那裡有一位如來，名為光明吉祥，應供、正等正覺，為一切眾生恒常宣說微妙的佛法。』 佛陀說：『童子！上方經過百千俱胝那由他恒河沙數（極多的數量）的佛剎（佛陀教化的世界），那裡有一個世界名為月光，那裡有一位如來，名為財吉祥，應供、正等正覺，為一切眾生恒常宣說微妙的佛法。』 『童子！像這樣一切世界的佛剎，都有清凈的旃檀（一種香木）樓閣，所有如來的名號，如果有人聽聞后，恭敬地接受、持守、書寫、讀誦、廣泛地為他人宣說，所有五逆（殺父、殺母、殺阿羅漢、出佛身血、破和合僧）等一切罪業都將消除，也不會墮入地獄、傍生（畜生）、焰魔羅界（餓鬼道），對於無上正等正覺（最高的覺悟）迅速獲得不退轉。』 『你認為如何？童子！在過去無數、廣大無邊的無數劫（極長的時間）之前，那時有一個世界名為寶生，那裡有一位如來，名為精進吉祥，應供、正等正覺，那十位如來在精進吉祥佛那裡處於菩薩的地位，在那位佛前供養併發愿：『我們各自在佛剎成就無上正等正覺之時，如果有眾生在剎那間到須臾之間，聽聞我們十佛的名號，聽聞后恭敬地接受、持守、書寫、讀誦、廣泛地為他人宣說，所有五逆等一切罪業都將消除，也不會墮入地獄、傍生、焰魔羅界，對於無上正等正覺迅速獲得不退轉。』』 當時，寶月童子聽聞這些后，又問：『世尊！那些佛如來的壽命有多長？』 世尊回答說：『那些佛的壽命有十阿僧祇（極多的數量）、百千俱胝、那由他世界微塵數（極多的數量）的劫。』 童子聽聞后
【English Translation】 English version: 『Playful Wisdom (a Bodhisattva's name), worthy of offerings, perfectly and completely enlightened, constantly speaks the wonderful Dharma for all sentient beings.』 The Buddha said: 『Child! Passing through hundreds of thousands of kotis of nayutas of Ganges sands (an extremely large number) of Buddha-lands below, there is a world named Vast, and there is a Tathagata there, named Light Auspicious, worthy of offerings, perfectly and completely enlightened, constantly speaks the wonderful Dharma for all sentient beings.』 The Buddha said: 『Child! Passing through hundreds of thousands of kotis of nayutas of Ganges sands (an extremely large number) of Buddha-lands above, there is a world named Moonlight, and there is a Tathagata there, named Wealth Auspicious, worthy of offerings, perfectly and completely enlightened, constantly speaks the wonderful Dharma for all sentient beings.』 『Child! In all such Buddha-lands of the worlds, there are pure sandalwood (a type of fragrant wood) pavilions. If anyone hears the names of all the Tathagatas, and respectfully accepts, upholds, writes, recites, and widely proclaims them to others, all karmic offenses such as the five heinous crimes (killing one's father, killing one's mother, killing an Arhat, shedding the blood of a Buddha, and causing disunity in the Sangha) will be eliminated, and they will not fall into hell, the realm of animals, or the realm of Yama (the realm of hungry ghosts). They will quickly attain non-retrogression in the unsurpassed perfect and complete enlightenment.』 『What do you think, child? In the past, countless, vast, and boundless countless kalpas (extremely long periods of time), there was a world named Treasure Birth, and there was a Tathagata there, named Diligence Auspicious, worthy of offerings, perfectly and completely enlightened. Those ten Tathagatas were in the position of Bodhisattvas under the Diligence Auspicious Buddha. They made offerings and vows before that Buddha: 『When each of us attains unsurpassed perfect and complete enlightenment in our respective Buddha-lands, if any sentient being hears the names of us ten Buddhas in an instant or a short moment, and respectfully accepts, upholds, writes, recites, and widely proclaims them to others, all karmic offenses such as the five heinous crimes will be eliminated, and they will not fall into hell, the realm of animals, or the realm of Yama. They will quickly attain non-retrogression in the unsurpassed perfect and complete enlightenment.』』 At that time, Bodhisattva Treasure Moon, having heard this, asked again: 『World Honored One! How long is the lifespan of those Buddha Tathagatas?』 The World Honored One replied: 『The lifespan of those Buddhas is ten asankhyeyas (an extremely large number), hundreds of thousands of kotis, nayutas of world-dust-like kalpas (an extremely large number).』 Having heard this, the child
，白佛言：「彼佛如來，甚為希有！如是悲心發願，為諸眾生得此壽量。」
佛言：「童子！若有眾生聞此十佛名號，恭敬受持、書寫讀誦、信樂修行，所有無量、無邊福德悉得具足，三業之罪亦不能生。
「童子！若有善男子、善女人，于恒河沙等佛剎，滿中七寶供養如來，經百千歲獲福無量；若善男子、善女人聞是十佛名號，恭敬信受、書寫讀誦、為他解說，所得福德勝前供養無量無邊。」
爾時，索河世界主、大梵天王、帝釋天子、四天大王、穌枲么天子、大自在天子，以最上旃檀香粖散世尊前而為供養，白世尊言：「若有眾生於此正法，書寫讀誦、信解受持，得一切天人、阿修羅尊重禮拜，所有地獄、畜生、焰魔羅界、阿修羅身及餓鬼趣，皆得解脫。」
佛言：「若此正法，耳根得聞、受持讀誦，罪惡魔冤不能侵害，于阿耨多羅三藐三菩提速得不退。」
爾時，世尊而說頌曰：
「持此世尊十名號， 如是壽命俱胝劫， 佛說功德不思議， 未來成就二足尊。」
爾時，頻婆娑羅王寶月童子，白於世尊而說伽他曰：
「大無畏善說， 無邊無量佛， 眾生最上師， 我今歸命禮。 如是今修學， 一切佛知見， 愿斷于煩惱， 速成於菩提。
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本： 寶月童子對佛說：『那位佛如來真是非常稀有！他發如此悲憫之心，發願為眾生獲得這樣的壽命。』 佛說：『童子！如果有眾生聽聞這十位佛的名號，恭敬地接受、持誦、書寫、讀誦，並信奉修行，他們將圓滿獲得無量無邊的福德，並且不會產生身、口、意三業的罪過。 『童子！如果有善男子、善女人，在如同恒河沙數那樣多的佛剎中，用充滿七寶的供品供養如來，經過百千歲，所獲得的福德也是無量的；如果善男子、善女人聽聞這十位佛的名號，恭敬地信受、書寫、讀誦，併爲他人解說，他們所獲得的福德勝過之前的供養，無量無邊。』 當時，索河世界的主宰、大梵天王（Brahma，創造之神）、帝釋天子（Indra，眾神之王）、四天大王（四大天王）、穌枲么天子（Suyama，夜摩天之主）、大自在天子（Maheshvara，濕婆神），用最上等的旃檀香粉散在世尊面前作為供養，並對世尊說：『如果有眾生對於這正法，書寫、讀誦、信解、受持，將得到一切天人、阿修羅（Asura，非天）的尊重和禮拜，所有地獄、畜生、焰魔羅界（Yamaraja，閻羅王界）、阿修羅身以及餓鬼道，都將得到解脫。』 佛說：『如果這正法，能被耳根聽到、接受、持誦，罪惡和魔障都不能侵害，並且能迅速在阿耨多羅三藐三菩提（Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi，無上正等正覺）上得到不退轉。』 當時，世尊說了偈頌： 『持誦這世尊的十個名號， 如此壽命可達俱胝劫（koti kalpa，無數劫）， 佛說此功德不可思議， 未來將成就二足尊（佛）。』 當時，頻婆娑羅王（Bimbisara）的寶月童子，對世尊說了偈頌： 『大無畏的善說者， 無邊無量的佛陀， 眾生最上的導師， 我今歸命頂禮。 如此我今修學， 一切佛的知見， 愿斷除煩惱， 速速成就菩提。』
【English Translation】 English version: Prince Baoyue said to the Buddha, 'That Buddha Tathagata is truly very rare! He has made such a compassionate vow, wishing for all beings to obtain such a lifespan.' The Buddha said, 'Child! If there are beings who hear the names of these ten Buddhas, respectfully accept, uphold, write, recite, and believe in and practice them, they will fully obtain immeasurable and boundless merits, and the sins of the three karmas (body, speech, and mind) will not arise.' 'Child! If there are good men and good women who, in Buddha-lands as numerous as the sands of the Ganges River, offer to the Tathagata with offerings filled with seven treasures for hundreds of thousands of years, the merits they obtain are also immeasurable; if good men and good women hear the names of these ten Buddhas, respectfully believe, accept, write, recite, and explain them to others, the merits they obtain surpass the previous offerings, immeasurable and boundless.' At that time, the lord of the Soha world, the Great Brahma King (Brahma, the god of creation), the Indra (Indra, king of gods), the Four Heavenly Kings (the Four Great Kings), the Suyama Heaven Prince (Suyama, lord of the Yama Heaven), and the Maheshvara Heaven Prince (Maheshvara, Shiva), scattered the finest sandalwood powder before the World Honored One as an offering, and said to the World Honored One, 'If there are beings who, for this Dharma, write, recite, believe, understand, and uphold it, they will receive the respect and worship of all gods, humans, and Asuras (Asura, demigods), and all hells, animals, the realm of Yamaraja (Yamaraja, the realm of the king of death), Asura bodies, and the realm of hungry ghosts will all be liberated.' The Buddha said, 'If this Dharma is heard by the ear, accepted, and recited, sins and demonic obstacles cannot harm them, and they will quickly attain non-retrogression in Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi (Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi, unsurpassed perfect enlightenment).' At that time, the World Honored One spoke in verse: 'Holding the ten names of this World Honored One, Such a lifespan can reach koti kalpas (koti kalpa, countless eons), The Buddha said this merit is inconceivable, In the future, one will achieve the Two-Legged Honored One (Buddha).' At that time, Prince Baoyue of King Bimbisara (Bimbisara) spoke a verse to the World Honored One: 'The fearless and well-spoken one, The boundless and immeasurable Buddhas, The supreme teacher of beings, I now take refuge and bow in reverence. Thus I now study, All the knowledge and vision of the Buddhas, May I cut off afflictions, And quickly achieve Bodhi.'
」
爾時，童子說此頌已，白世尊言：「我今如是所有忍辱，菩薩大智總持法門，方廣之教佛菩提行，如是修學行菩提行。」
爾時，世尊復說頌曰：
「若人受持佛名號， 水火盜賊不能侵， 毒藥刀杖王難等， 一切諸苦自消除， 如是速得於菩提， 廣令流佈佛名號。
「若此正法于末世時，有人受持讀誦，此人命終速成佛道；若以香花供養一切諸佛經多劫時，不如有人於此正法暫時書寫讀誦，所得福德無量無邊；若人以最上所愛七寶，滿於一切剎土之中，供養一切諸佛，亦不如讀誦此經得福甚多。」
佛說此經時，無量百千俱胝那臾多眾生，發阿耨多羅三藐三菩提心；無量、無邊眾生得無生忍，不退轉于阿耨多羅三藐三菩提。
佛說是語時，寶月童子等，皆大歡喜，作禮而退。
大乘寶月童子問法經
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本 當時，童子說完這首偈頌后，對世尊說：『我現在所擁有的忍辱，菩薩大智總持法門，方廣的教義，佛菩提的修行，都是這樣修學，行菩提之道的。』 當時，世尊又說偈頌道： 『如果有人受持佛的名號，水、火、盜賊都不能侵犯他，毒藥、刀杖、王難等一切痛苦都會自行消除，這樣就能迅速證得菩提，廣泛流佈佛的名號。』 『如果這正法在末世時，有人受持讀誦，這個人命終后就能迅速成就佛道；如果用香花供養一切諸佛，經歷多劫的時間，也不如有人對這正法暫時書寫讀誦，所得到的福德無量無邊；如果有人用最上等所珍愛的七寶，充滿一切剎土之中，供養一切諸佛，也不如讀誦此經得到的福德多。』 佛說這部經時，無量百千俱胝那臾多（俱胝：千萬；那臾多：極多數）的眾生，發起了阿耨多羅三藐三菩提心（無上正等正覺之心）；無量無邊的眾生得到了無生法忍（對諸法不生不滅的真理的領悟），不會再退轉于阿耨多羅三藐三菩提。 佛說完這些話時，寶月童子等都非常歡喜，行禮後退下。 《大乘寶月童子問法經》
【English Translation】 English version At that time, after the boy spoke this verse, he said to the World Honored One: 'The forbearance I now possess, the Bodhisattva's great wisdom, the Dharani (total retention) Dharma gate, the teachings of Vaipulya (extensive) scriptures, the practice of Buddha's Bodhi, are all cultivated and practiced in this way, following the path of Bodhi.' At that time, the World Honored One again spoke a verse: 'If a person upholds the Buddha's name, water, fire, and thieves cannot harm them. Poison, weapons, royal troubles, and all sufferings will naturally disappear. In this way, one can quickly attain Bodhi and widely spread the Buddha's name.' 'If this true Dharma is upheld and recited in the latter days, that person will quickly attain Buddhahood after death. If one offers incense and flowers to all Buddhas for many kalpas (eons), it is not as meritorious as someone who temporarily writes and recites this true Dharma, the merit obtained is immeasurable and boundless. If one uses the most precious and beloved seven treasures to fill all Buddha lands and offers them to all Buddhas, it is still not as meritorious as reciting this scripture.' When the Buddha spoke this scripture, countless hundreds of thousands of kotis (ten million) of nayutas (a very large number) of beings generated the Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi (supreme perfect enlightenment) mind; countless, boundless beings attained the Kshanti (patience) of non-origination (understanding the truth of non-arising and non-ceasing of all dharmas), and will not regress from Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi. When the Buddha finished speaking, the boy, Ratna-chandra (Treasure Moon), and others were all very joyful, bowed, and withdrew.
