【English Translation】 English version 'The Sutra of Eight Great Bodhisattvas Spoken by the Buddha'

Translated during the Song Dynasty by the Tripiṭaka Master Fa Xian, Great Master of Manifest Teaching, Minister of the Court of Imperial Sacrifices with the title Chao San Da Fu, and acting Vice President of the Court of Imperial Entertainments.

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was in Śrāvastī (舍衛國), at the Jetavana Anathapindika-arama (祇樹給孤獨園), together with a great assembly of twelve hundred and fifty Bhikshus. There were also eight great Bodhisattva-Mahasattvas, whose names are:

Mañjuśrībodhisattva-mahāsattva (妙吉祥菩薩摩訶薩), Āryāvalokiteśvara-bodhisattva-mahāsattva (聖觀自在菩薩摩訶薩), Maitreya-bodhisattva-mahāsattva (慈氏菩薩摩訶薩), Ākāśagarbha-bodhisattva-mahāsattva (虛空藏菩薩摩訶薩), Samantabhadra-bodhisattva-mahāsattva (普賢菩薩摩訶薩), Vajrapāṇi-bodhisattva-mahāsattva (金剛手菩薩摩訶薩), Sarvanivāraṇaviṣkambhin-bodhisattva-mahāsattva (除蓋障菩薩摩訶薩), Kṣitigarbha-bodhisattva-mahāsattva (地藏菩薩摩訶薩), who were the leaders. There were also other great Bodhisattva-Mahasattvas, whose names are:

Ajita-bodhisattva-mahāsattva (無能勝菩薩摩訶薩), Nāgarjuna-bodhisattva-mahāsattva (龍相菩薩摩訶薩), Pramudita-bodhisattva-mahāsattva (喜意菩薩摩訶薩), Vimalagarbha-bodhisattva-mahāsattva (無垢藏菩薩摩訶薩), Vimalakīrti-bodhisattva-mahāsattva (無垢稱菩薩摩訶薩), Jñānarāja-bodhisattva-mahāsattva (智王菩薩摩訶薩), Anantavyūha-bodhisattva-mahāsattva (無邊軍菩薩摩訶薩), Jñānaprabha-bodhisattva-mahāsattva (智光菩薩摩訶薩), Prajñāprabha-bodhisattva-mahāsattva (慧光菩薩摩訶薩), Prajñādīpa-bodhisattva-mahāsattva (慧燈菩薩摩訶薩), Jñānadīpa-bodhisattva-mahāsattva (智燈菩薩摩訶薩), Brahmadatta-bodhisattva-mahāsattva (梵授菩薩摩訶薩), Devamukuṭa-bodhisattva-mahāsattva (天冠菩薩摩訶薩). All these great Bodhisattvas and others came to the assembly.

At that time, the World Honored One said to Śāriputra (舍利弗): 'Listen carefully now. Passing over worlds as numerous as the sands of the Ganges River to the east, there is a Buddha-field named Ajita (無能勝). In that land, there is a Buddha named Suvīryamaṅgala-tathāgata (善精進吉祥如來), Arhat (應), Samyaksaṃbuddha (正等覺), who is now expounding the subtle Dharma for sentient beings.'

'Furthermore, Śāriputra! Again, passing over ten times as many worlds as the sands of the Ganges River to the east, there is a Buddha-field named Nirātman (無我). In that land, there is a Buddha named Samantaprabha-tathāgata (普照如來), Worthy of Offerings (應供), Perfectly Enlightened (正等覺), who is now expounding the subtle Dharma for sentient beings.'

'Furthermore, Śāriputra! Again, passing over three times as many worlds as the sands of the Ganges River to the east

，有一佛剎名曰善愛，彼土有佛，號吉祥如來、應供、正等覺，現為眾生說微妙法。

「複次，舍利弗！又過東方三十四恒河沙世界，有一佛剎名寂靜藏，彼土有佛，號印捺啰計睹特嚩惹王如來、應供、正等覺，現為眾生說微妙法。

「複次，舍利弗！又過東方五恒河沙世界，有一佛剎名曰離塵，彼土有佛，號喜功德光自在王如來、應供、正等覺，現為眾生說微妙法。」

佛告舍利弗：「若有善男子、善女人等，於此經中聞是諸佛如來名號，一心諦聽，或自憶念，或書寫、讀誦、為他解說，彼人命終不墮惡趣，不生邊地、邪見、諸惡律儀、下賤族中，亦不生於長壽天中，亦不生於五濁惡世，饑饉、疾病、刀兵劫中，亦無王難、水難、火難、賊盜、虎狼等難；常生佛剎及天上人間，身相端嚴諸根具足，眷屬圓滿，得宿命智，具六波羅蜜，行四無量法，通達一切甚深法藏，成最上道。」

佛說此經已，諸大菩薩，舍利弗及諸苾芻，天、人、阿修羅等，聞佛所說，皆大歡喜，信受奉行。

佛說八大菩薩經

【現代漢語翻譯】現代漢語譯本：有一個佛剎名為善愛（Śubhādarśana，美好的愛），那裡的佛名為吉祥如來（Śrī Lakṣmī Tathāgata）、應供（Arhat）、正等覺（Samyaksaṃbuddha），現在正在為眾生宣說微妙的佛法。

『再者，舍利弗（Śāriputra）！又經過東方三十四個恒河沙數的世界，有一個佛剎名為寂靜藏（Śāntagarbha），那裡的佛名為印捺啰計睹特嚩惹王如來（Indraketudhvajarāja Tathāgata）、應供（Arhat）、正等覺（Samyaksaṃbuddha），現在正在為眾生宣說微妙的佛法。』

『再者，舍利弗（Śāriputra）！又經過東方五個恒河沙數的世界，有一個佛剎名為離塵（Vigatadhūli），那裡的佛名為喜功德光自在王如來（Pramuditaguṇa-prabhā-svāminrāja Tathāgata）、應供（Arhat）、正等覺（Samyaksaṃbuddha），現在正在為眾生宣說微妙的佛法。』

佛告訴舍利弗（Śāriputra）: 『如果有善男子、善女人等，對此經中的諸佛如來名號，一心諦聽，或者自己憶念，或者書寫、讀誦、為他人解說，這個人命終之後不會墮入惡趣，不會生於邊地、邪見之地、持諸惡律儀的**族中，也不會生於長壽天中，也不會生於五濁惡世，饑荒、疾病、刀兵劫難之中，也不會遭遇王難、水難、火難、賊盜、虎狼等災難；常常生於佛剎以及天上人間，身相端正莊嚴，諸根完具，眷屬圓滿，獲得宿命智，具足六波羅蜜（ṣaṭ pāramitā），修行四無量法（catasro 'pramāṇāḥ），通達一切甚深法藏，成就最上之道。』

佛說完這部經后，諸大菩薩，舍利弗（Śāriputra）以及各位比丘（bhikṣu），天（deva）、人（manuṣya）、阿修羅（asura）等，聽聞佛所說，都非常歡喜，信受奉行。

佛說八大菩薩經

【English Translation】 English version: There is a Buddha-field named Śubhādarśana (Good to See), in that land there is a Buddha named Śrī Lakṣmī Tathāgata (Auspicious Fortune Thus Come One), Arhat (Worthy One), Samyaksaṃbuddha (Perfectly Enlightened One), now expounding the subtle Dharma for all beings.

『Furthermore, Śāriputra (Son of Śāri)! Again, passing thirty-four Ganges-sand-count worlds to the east, there is a Buddha-field named Śāntagarbha (Peaceful Womb), in that land there is a Buddha named Indraketudhvajarāja Tathāgata (King Banner of Indra Thus Come One), Arhat (Worthy One), Samyaksaṃbuddha (Perfectly Enlightened One), now expounding the subtle Dharma for all beings.』

『Furthermore, Śāriputra (Son of Śāri)! Again, passing five Ganges-sand-count worlds to the east, there is a Buddha-field named Vigatadhūli (Free from Dust), in that land there is a Buddha named Pramuditaguṇa-prabhā-svāminrāja Tathāgata (Joyful Merit Light Sovereign King Thus Come One), Arhat (Worthy One), Samyaksaṃbuddha (Perfectly Enlightened One), now expounding the subtle Dharma for all beings.』

The Buddha told Śāriputra (Son of Śāri): 『If there are good men and good women who, upon hearing the names of these Buddhas and Tathagatas in this sutra, listen attentively with one mind, or remember them, or write, recite, and explain them to others, that person, upon the end of their life, will not fall into the evil realms, will not be born in border regions, places of wrong views, among the ** tribes holding evil precepts, nor will they be born in the heavens of long life, nor will they be born in the evil world of the five turbidities, amidst famine, disease, or the calamities of war; they will also be free from the difficulties of kings, water, fire, thieves, tigers, wolves, and other such calamities; they will always be born in Buddha-fields and in the heavens and among humans, with a dignified and beautiful appearance, complete faculties, a perfect retinue, obtaining knowledge of past lives, possessing the six perfections (ṣaṭ pāramitā), practicing the four immeasurable states (catasro 'pramāṇāḥ), mastering all the profound Dharma treasures, and attaining the supreme path.』

After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, all the great Bodhisattvas, Śāriputra (Son of Śāri), and all the monks (bhikṣu), gods (deva), humans (manuṣya), asuras (asura), and others, hearing what the Buddha had said, were all greatly rejoiced, believed, accepted, and practiced it.
