佛說彌勒下產生佛經

唐三藏法師義凈奉　制譯

如是我聞：

一時，薄伽梵在王舍城鷲峰山上，與大苾芻眾俱。

爾時，大智舍利子法將中最，哀愍世間，從座而起，偏袒右肩，右膝著地，合掌恭敬，而白佛言：「世尊！我今欲少咨問，愿垂聽許！」

佛告舍利弗：「隨汝所問，我當爲說。」

時，舍利子即以伽他請世尊曰：

「大師所授記，　　當來佛下生；　彼號為慈氏，　　如前後經說。　唯愿人中尊，　　伽陀重分別；　彼神通威德，　　我今樂欲聞。」　佛告舍利子：　　「應至心諦聽；　當來慈氏尊，　　為汝廣宣說。　爾時大海水，　　以漸減三千；　二百逾繕那，　　為顯輪王路。　贍部洲縱廣，　　有萬逾繕那；　有情住其中，　　在處皆充滿。　國土咸富盛，　　無罰無災厄；　彼諸男女等，　　皆由善業生。　地無諸棘刺，　　唯生青軟草；　履踐隨人足，　　喻若睹羅綿。　自然出香稻，　　美味皆充足；　諸樹生衣服，　　眾彩共莊嚴。　樹高三俱舍，　　花果常充實；

唐三藏法師義凈奉旨譯

如是我聞：

一時，薄伽梵（Bhagavan，世尊）在王舍城鷲峰山上，與眾多大苾芻（bhiksu，比丘）在一起。

當時，大智舍利子（Sariputra），在法將中最為傑出，哀憫世間眾生，從座位上站起來，袒露右肩，右膝著地，合掌恭敬，對佛說：『世尊！我現在想稍微請教一些問題，希望您能允許聽取！』

佛告訴舍利弗：『隨你發問，我將為你解說。』

當時，舍利子就用伽他（gatha，偈頌）來請問世尊說：

『大師您所授記的，當來下生的佛；他的名號是慈氏（Maitreya），如前後經典所說。唯愿人中之尊，用偈頌再次詳細分別解說；他的神通威德，我現在很樂意聽聞。』

佛告訴舍利子：『你應該專心諦聽；當來慈氏尊（Maitreya），我為你廣為宣說。那時大海水，將逐漸減少三千由旬（yojana）；二百由旬（yojana），用來顯現輪王（cakravartin）的道路。贍部洲（Jambudvipa）縱橫廣闊，有一萬由旬（yojana）；有情眾生居住在其中，到處都充滿。國土都富饒興盛，沒有刑罰，沒有災禍；那些男女等，都是由善業所生。地上沒有荊棘，只生長柔軟的青草；踩在上面隨著人的腳，就像柔軟的兜羅綿一樣。自然生長出香稻，美味都充足；各種樹木生長出衣服，各種色彩共同莊嚴。樹高三俱舍（kosa），花果經常充實；

【English Translation】 English version The Sutra of Maitreya's Descent and Attainment of Buddhahood Spoken by the Buddha

Translated under Imperial Order by the Tang Dynasty Tripitaka Master Yijing

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Bhagavan (World-Honored One) was on Vulture Peak Mountain in Rajagriha (Wangshecheng), together with a large assembly of bhikshus (monks).

At that time, the greatly wise Sariputra (Sarizi), foremost among the Dharma generals, feeling compassion for the world, arose from his seat, bared his right shoulder, knelt on his right knee, joined his palms in reverence, and said to the Buddha: 'World-Honored One! I now wish to ask a few questions; I hope you will grant me permission to listen!'

The Buddha told Sariputra: 'Ask whatever you wish; I will explain it for you.'

Then, Sariputra used a gatha (verse) to ask the World-Honored One, saying:

'The Buddha who will descend in the future, As prophesied by the Great Master; His name is Maitreya (Cishi), As the previous sutras have said. May the Honored One among humans, Explain it again in detail with a gatha; His supernatural powers and majestic virtue, I am now eager to hear.'

The Buddha told Sariputra: 'You should listen attentively with all your heart; I will extensively explain the coming Maitreya (Cishi) for you. At that time, the ocean water, Will gradually decrease by three thousand yojanas (yujun); Two hundred yojanas (yujun), Will be revealed as the road for the Wheel-Turning King (lunwang). Jambudvipa (Zhanbuzhou) is vast and wide, With ten thousand yojanas (yujun); Sentient beings dwell within it, Everywhere is filled. The lands are all rich and prosperous, Without punishments or disasters; Those men and women, Are all born from good karma. The ground has no thorns, Only soft green grass grows; Stepping on it follows the foot, Like soft cotton. Naturally fragrant rice grows, Delicious flavors are abundant; Various trees grow clothes, Various colors adorn them together. The trees are three kosa (jushe) high, Flowers and fruits are always plentiful;

The great man Cishi (Maitreya Bodhisattva), bid farewell to Xizutian (Tushita Heaven); Coming to be born in this lady's womb, as his last place of birth. The lady conceived this great sage, completing ten months; Then the mother of the Compassionate One went to the beautiful garden. Arriving in that beautiful garden, neither sitting nor lying down; Slowly standing and climbing the flower tree, soon the supreme Compassionate One was born. At that time, the most supreme Compassionate One, after being born from his mother's right side; Like the sun coming out of the clouds, radiating great light.

【現代漢語翻譯】現代漢語譯本（侍者）捧著（慈氏）來交給母親。御者駕著雕飾華麗的車輦，都用珍寶莊嚴；母親和孩子一同登上車輦，諸天神共同抬著車輿。成千上萬種美妙的音樂，引導著（他們）返回宮殿；慈氏（Maitreya）進入都城，天花像雨一樣落下。慈尊（Maitreya）誕生的那一天，所有懷孕的婇女；普遍得到身體的安穩，都生下有智慧的男孩。善凈（Sudharma）慈尊（Maitreya）的父親，看到兒子奇妙的容貌；具足三十二種殊勝的相，心中生起極大的歡喜。父親依照佔卜觀察的方法，知道兒子有兩種命運；在家就成為轉輪聖王，出家就成就正等正覺。菩薩（Bodhisattva）既然已經長大成人，慈悲憐憫一切眾生；在種種痛苦和艱難之中，輪迴不止，永無停息。（慈氏菩薩）金色的光芒明亮照耀，聲音像大梵天一樣洪亮；眼睛像青蓮花瓣一樣，身體的各個部分都圓滿無缺。身高八十肘，雙肩寬二十肘；面寬是肩寬的一半，像滿月一樣端正莊嚴。菩薩（Bodhisattva）精通各種技藝，善於教導學習者；請來學習的兒童和初學者等，有八萬四千人。當時，餉佉（Sankha）王，建立七寶寶幢；寶幢高七十尋，寬度有六十尋。寶幢建造完成之後，國王發起廣大的佈施之心；佈施給婆羅門，平等地設定無遮大會。當時，各位婆羅門，人數有一千人；得到這美妙的寶幢，在很短的時間內就拆毀了。菩薩（Bodhisattva）看到這些之後，想到世俗的一切都是這樣；被生死痛苦所束縛，思考尋求脫離的方法。虔誠地祈求寂滅之道，放棄世俗而出家；在生老病死之中，救度眾生，讓他們得以解脫。慈尊（Maitreya）發願說，八萬四千人；都生起厭離之心，並且跟隨（我）修習清凈的梵行。在最初發心的夜晚，捨棄世俗而（出家）。

【English Translation】 English version （The attendant）held and gave （Maitreya）to his mother. The charioteer advanced the carved chariot, all adorned with treasures; Mother and child ascended into it, with all the devas jointly carrying the carriage. Thousands of wonderful musical instruments guided （them）back to the palace; Maitreya（Maitreya）entered the capital city, and celestial flowers fell like rain. On the day of Maitreya's（Maitreya）birth, all the pregnant concubines; Universally obtained peace of body, and all gave birth to wise sons. Sudharma（Sudharma）, the father of Maitreya（Maitreya）, beheld his son's wondrous countenance; Endowed with the thirty-two marks, his heart arose with great joy. The father, relying on the method of divination, knew that his son had two destinies; In the world, he would become a Chakravartin king; renouncing the world, he would attain perfect enlightenment. Since the Bodhisattva（Bodhisattva）had grown up, he compassionately pitied all sentient beings; In the midst of all kinds of suffering and hardship, the cycle of rebirth continues without ceasing. （Maitreya Bodhisattva's）golden light shone brightly, and his voice was like the great Brahma's sound; His eyes were like blue lotus petals, and all parts of his body were perfectly complete. His height was eighty cubits, and the width of his shoulders was twenty cubits; The width of his face was half the width of his shoulders, and his appearance was as dignified as the full moon. The Bodhisattva（Bodhisattva）was proficient in all arts, and skilled at teaching students; The children and beginners who came to study numbered eighty-four thousand. At that time, King Sankha（Sankha）erected a seven-jeweled banner; The banner was seventy fathoms high and sixty fathoms wide. After the jeweled banner was built, the king generated a great heart of generosity; Giving it to the Brahmins, he equally established an unobstructed assembly. At that time, the Brahmins numbered one thousand; Having obtained this wonderful jeweled banner, they demolished it in a short time. Having seen this, the Bodhisattva（Bodhisattva）thought that all worldly things were like this; Bound by the suffering of birth and death, he contemplated seeking a way to escape. He sincerely prayed for the path of extinction, renounced the world, and left home; In the midst of birth, old age, sickness, and death, he rescued beings, enabling them to be liberated. Maitreya（Maitreya）made a vow, saying that eighty-four thousand people; All arose with a heart of renunciation, and followed （me）to cultivate pure conduct. On the night of first generating the aspiration, he renounced the world and （left home）.

For the pure believers, he expounded the Four Noble Truths; Able to hear this Dharma, sincerely and reverently upholding it. In the wondrous garden, various crowds gathered like clouds; Within a hundred Yojana, relatives and attendants were filled. That Chakravarti (wheel-turning king) Śankha, having heard the profound and subtle Dharma; Exhausted all his treasures, devoutly aspiring to renounce. Not attached to the noble palace life, earnestly seeking liberation; Eighty-four thousand people, all followed him to renounce.

【現代漢語翻譯】現代漢語譯本『善哉，薄伽梵（Bhagavan，世尊），您能慈悲憐憫世間。』有大威德的天人，將成為魔王的眷屬；他們歸心合掌，禮敬讚仰導師。梵王和諸天眾，被眷屬圍繞；各自用梵天的聲音，闡揚微妙的佛法。在這個世界中，多數是阿羅漢（Arhat，斷盡煩惱，證得解脫的聖者）；他們去除有漏的業，永遠脫離煩惱的痛苦。人、天、龍、神等，乾闥婆（Gandharva，天上的樂神）、阿修羅（Asura，非天）；羅剎（Rakshasa，惡鬼）和藥叉（Yaksa，夜叉，守護神），都歡喜地供養。那時，所有的大眾，斷除障礙，消除疑惑；超越生死的河流，善於修習清凈的德行。那時，所有的大眾，捨棄執著，丟棄珍貴的財物；沒有我及我所的心，善於修習清凈的德行。那時，所有的大眾，摧毀貪愛的羅網；圓滿禪定的心，善於修習清凈的德行。慈氏（Maitreya，彌勒菩薩）天人尊，哀憐愍念有情眾生；期望在六萬歲時，說法度化眾生。化度滿百千億眾生，讓他們渡過煩惱的海洋；與佛有緣的都救濟，才進入涅槃（Nirvana，寂滅）之城。慈氏大悲尊，進入般涅槃（Parinirvana，完全的寂滅）后；正法住留在世間，也滿六萬年。如果在我佛法中，內心能深深地信受；將來慈氏菩薩下生的時候，必定會奉事大悲的慈氏尊。如果有聰明智慧的人，聽聞述說這些事情；誰不會生起欣喜快樂，希望遇到慈氏尊。如果想要求得解脫的人，希望遇到龍華會（Maitreya Buddha's assembly，彌勒佛的聚會）；常常供養三寶（Three Jewels，佛、法、僧），應當勤奮不放逸。」那時，世尊為舍利子（Sariputra）及諸大眾，講述了將來慈氏菩薩的事情后，又告訴舍利子：『如果有善男子、善女人，聽聞此法后，受持讀誦、為他人演說、如所說修行、用香花供養，』

【English Translation】 English version 『Excellent, Bhagavan (Bhagavan, The World-Honored One), you are able to compassionately have mercy on the world.』 A deva (deva, god) of great power and virtue will become part of the retinue of Mara (Mara, demon); With hearts of devotion and palms joined, they pay homage and praise the Teacher. Brahma (Brahma, the creator god) and the hosts of devas, surrounded by their retinues; Each uses the voice of Brahma to expound the subtle and wonderful Dharma (Dharma, the teachings of the Buddha). In this world, most are Arhats (Arhat, one who has extinguished all afflictions and attained liberation); They eliminate defiled karma, forever departing from the suffering of afflictions. Humans, devas, nagas (naga, dragon deities), and spirits, Gandharvas (Gandharva, celestial musicians), Asuras (Asura, demigods); Rakshasas (Rakshasa, demons) and Yakshas (Yaksa, guardian spirits), all joyfully make offerings. At that time, all the great assembly, sever obstacles and eliminate doubts; Transcending the stream of birth and death, they skillfully cultivate pure conduct. At that time, all the great assembly, renounce attachments and discard precious wealth; Without thoughts of 'I' or 'mine', they skillfully cultivate pure conduct. At that time, all the great assembly, destroy the net of craving; Perfecting the mind of meditative stillness, they skillfully cultivate pure conduct. Maitreya (Maitreya, the future Buddha) , the honored deva-human, compassionately pities sentient beings; Hoping in sixty thousand years, to preach the Dharma and liberate beings. Transforming and liberating hundreds of thousands of millions of beings, causing them to cross the ocean of afflictions; Rescuing all who have affinity, then entering the city of Nirvana (Nirvana, liberation). Maitreya, the greatly compassionate honored one, after entering Parinirvana (Parinirvana, complete liberation); The Proper Dharma will abide in the world, also for sixty thousand years. If, within my Dharma, one can deeply believe and accept; When Maitreya descends to be born, they will surely serve the greatly compassionate honored one. If there are those with intelligence and wisdom, hearing these things spoken; Who would not arise with joy and delight, hoping to meet Maitreya. If those who seek liberation, hope to encounter the Dragon Flower Assembly (Maitreya Buddha's assembly, the assembly of Maitreya Buddha); Constantly making offerings to the Three Jewels (Three Jewels, Buddha, Dharma, Sangha), one should be diligent and not lax.』 At that time, the World-Honored One, for Sariputra (Sariputra) and the great assembly, having recounted the future affairs of Maitreya, further told Sariputra: 『If there are good men or good women, having heard this Dharma, receive, uphold, recite, and expound it for others, practice according to what is said, and make offerings of incense and flowers,』

、書寫經卷，是諸人等當來之世，必得值遇慈氏下生，於三會中咸蒙救度。」

爾時，世尊說此頌已，舍利子及諸大眾，歡喜信受，頂戴奉行。

佛說彌勒下產生佛經

按《開元錄》，《彌勒下生經》前後六譯，三存三失，而此本亦在三存之一也，則宋藏無此經者，失之耳，今得於丹藏而編入之。

【現代漢語翻譯】現代漢語譯本：『書寫這部經卷的人們，在未來的世代，必定能夠遇到慈氏菩薩（Maitreya，即彌勒菩薩）下生，在三次法會中都能夠得到救度。』

當時，世尊說完這首偈頌后，舍利子（Sariputra）以及所有在場的大眾，都歡喜信受，頂戴奉行。

《佛說彌勒下產生佛經》

按照《開元錄》的記載，《彌勒下生經》前後共有六次翻譯，其中三次儲存下來，三次遺失，而這個版本也是儲存下來的其中之一。宋代的藏經中沒有這部經，是遺失了。現在從丹藏中找到並編入。

【English Translation】 English version: 『Those who write this scripture will, in future ages, surely encounter Maitreya (慈氏, the Bodhisattva of the future) descending to be born, and in the three assemblies, all will receive salvation.』

At that time, after the World-Honored One spoke this verse, Sariputra (舍利子) and all the assembly rejoiced, believed, accepted, and respectfully practiced it.
