也完整地聚集到一起。 请您让那些人好好地侍候那个人。 用计谋使那个人完全相信, 让他把水晶、海螺、珍珠等, 都藏在那所房子里。 他便数算、计算所有那些东西, 他心里也惦记着所有的财物。 在那个人隐蔽的住所后面, 那个孩子独自住在茅屋里。 他总是思索着:我有没有这些享受呢? 他总是怀着贫穷的想法。 当那个孩子有了广大的见识时, 他便用那种方式去寻找, 聚集了许多朋友和亲戚, 要把所有的财产都交给这个人。 他聚集了国王的城市和城镇的人们, 以及许多商人, 在众人之中说了这样的话: “我的这个儿子已经丢失很久了, 以前已经满了五十年。 此外,我已经见过他二十年了。 我是在这个叫做城市的(地方)把他丢失的, 为了寻找他,我才来到这里。 他是我的所有财产的主人, 所有这些都毫无保留地交给他。 请用父亲的财产随意享用, 也请多多布施这些奴婢。 因为对卑微者的关爱,以及父亲的功德, 忆念起以前的贫穷和困苦, 那个人获得了极大的惊喜。 因为找到了奴婢,今天非常快乐。 同样,我们这些引导者, 因为了解对卑微者的关爱, 所以没有说会变成佛, 而是说:‘你是声闻,是我的儿子啊!’ 世间怙主对我说: “对于那些进入最殊胜菩提的人, 为了使他们修习何种道路才能成佛, 奥色,请你为他们宣说那无上的道路。” 因此,善逝宣说, 对于许多具有大力量的菩萨, 用无数的因和譬喻, 我们也宣说了那无上的道路。 佛子们从我这里听闻之后, 便会修习那殊胜的菩提道。 为了使这个世界变成佛土, 立刻就为他们作了授记。 要好好守护这个法藏, 也要为佛子们宣说, 就像那个人信任他一样, (要像)那样的引导者。

Also completely gathered together. Please allow those people to serve that person well. Using schemes to make that person completely believe, Let him hide crystals, conch shells, pearls, etc., All in that house. He counts and calculates all those things, He also keeps in mind all the wealth. Behind that person's hidden dwelling, That child lives alone in a hut. He always thinks: Do I have these enjoyments? He always has poor thoughts. When that child has great knowledge, He then searches in that way, Gathering many friends and relatives, He will hand over all the property to this person. He gathers the people of the king's city and towns, And many merchants, In the midst of the crowd, he said these words: "My son has been lost for a long time, Before, it had been fifty years. In addition, I have seen him for twenty years. I lost him in this city, To find him, I came here. He is the master of all my property, All of these are handed over to him without reservation. Please use your father's property as you wish, And please give generously to these servants." Because of the love for the humble, and the merits of the father, Remembering the poverty and hardship of the past, That person received great surprise. Because he found the servants, he is very happy today. Similarly, we who are guides, Because we understand the love for the humble, So we did not say that we would become Buddhas, But said: 'You are a Shravaka, my son!' The Protector of the World said to me: "For those who enter the most supreme Bodhi, In order to make them practice which path to become Buddhas, Ose, please explain to them that unsurpassed path." Therefore, the Sugata declared, For many Bodhisattvas with great power, With countless causes and metaphors, We have also declared that unsurpassed path. After the Buddha-sons hear from me, They will practice that supreme Bodhi path. In order to make this world a Buddha-land, Immediately, he prophesied for them. This Dharma treasury must be well guarded, And it must also be declared to the Buddha-sons, Just as that person trusts him, (It should be like) that kind of guide.

亦作是事。贫穷者之意乐,善为思择。此诸佛库藏,善能布施,如来之智,善为宣说,然此如来之智,不求其义,亦自觉悟入于涅槃。唯有此智,无有他生。闻诸佛刹土之庄严,我等未曾欣悦。此一切法,皆是无漏寂静,远离止息及生起。知此诸法,亦无所有,如是思惟,未生信乐。于无上如来之智,我等长时以来不希求,我等未曾于此发愿,如来宣说此为胜义之边际。于此涅槃究竟之身,长时修习空性,从三界痛苦逼恼中得解脱,我等已作如来之教。于如来之子,善为开示,谁复真实趣入无上菩提,于彼等说何等之法,我等未曾于此希求。我等世间导师自生者,于时节善取已而弃舍,善为观察我等之信乐,未说真实隐覆之词义。彼之方便善巧为何如?如时节众多财物之生 子。于劣信之子,善为调伏,调伏已,亦善施彼财物。以方便善巧,善为开示,调伏于劣信之诸子,调伏已,施与此佛之智慧,世间怙主作极难之事。于此佛之教法,我等获得最初无漏殊胜之果。如贫穷者获得财物,今日我等即时获得奇特。我等所有之戒律,长时于世间知者之教法中善说,怙主昔时所行持之戒律,彼之果报,今日我等获得。清净梵行最胜极清净,于导师之教法中极亲近承事,彼之果报,寂静殊胜,广大无漏,今日获得。怙主今日我等宣说,亦当宣说真实殊胜菩提,菩提之声

Also do this deed. The intentions of the poor are well considered. These Buddha treasuries are well given, and the wisdom of the Tathagata is well explained, but this wisdom of the Tathagata is not sought for its meaning. One also realizes and enters into Nirvana. Only from this wisdom does nothing else arise. Having heard of the adornments of the Buddha lands, we have never rejoiced. All these dharmas are stainless and peaceful, and are separated from cessation and arising. Knowing that these dharmas are also without anything, thinking in this way, faith and joy are not born. In the unsurpassed wisdom of the Tathagata, we have not desired it for a long time, we have never made aspirations for this, the Tathagata has declared this as the limit of the ultimate meaning. In this ultimate body of Nirvana, emptiness has been practiced for a long time, and liberation has been obtained from the suffering and affliction of the three realms. We have made the teachings of the Tathagata. To the sons of the Tathagata, it is well revealed, and who truly enters into the supreme Bodhi, to those who speak of what kind of Dharma, we have never desired this. Our world teacher, the self-born one, has taken it well in season and abandoned it, having well observed our faith and joy, he did not speak the true hidden meaning of the words. What is his skillful means like? Like the birth of many riches in season. Son. To the son of inferior faith, he is well subdued, and having subdued him, he also bestows wealth upon him. With skillful means, he is well revealed, subduing the sons of inferior faith, and having subdued them, he bestows this wisdom of the Buddha, the Lord of the world does extremely difficult things. In this Buddha's teachings, we have obtained the first stainless and supreme fruit. Just as the poor obtain wealth, today we immediately obtain the extraordinary. All our precepts have been well spoken for a long time in the teachings of the world knower, the precepts practiced by the protector in the past, the fruit of which we obtain today. Pure conduct is the most supreme and pure, and is extremely close to serving in the teachings of the guide, the fruit of which is peaceful and extraordinary, vast and without leaks, obtained today. Protector, today we proclaim, and we will also proclaim the true and supreme Bodhi, the sound of Bodhi

我极赞颂。 因此我们宣说这难以忍受之事。 怙主如今我们堪能了, 天神及魔众所处之世间, 梵天所摄之所有众生, 我们极应受其供养。 于此人世间何者为难? 我们已成办如此之难事, 纵经无数百千劫之勤奋, 亦无法报答于您。 纵以头、手及足, 亦极难报答恩德。 纵于恒河沙数劫圆满时, 以头及肩荷负, 并奉献食物、饮料、衣物等, 以及卧具、坐垫及大覆垫, 又以旃檀香建造经堂, 广布精美丝绸帷幔, 以及多种疗愈疾病之药物, 为供养善逝而恒时奉献。 纵于恒河沙数劫奉献, 亦无法报答其恩德。 具足无与伦比大威力之佛法者, 安住忍耐力、具大神通者们, 诸佛大王、无漏胜者们, 极能容忍孩童之此等行径。 如是恒时随顺趣入, 并为具相行者们宣说佛法, 佛法之自在者,自在遍一切世间, 大自在者,引导世间之自在主。 因善知众生之所处, 故分别宣说多种成就之法。 知晓彼等之各种意乐后, 以百千种方式广为说法。 对于一切众生及补特伽罗, 善知如来之行持, 故广为宣说此殊胜菩提, 并极善宣说多种佛法。 《妙法莲华经》中名为“信解品”者,即第四品。

I highly praise. Therefore, we declare this unbearable matter. Protector, now we are capable, The world with gods and maras, All sentient beings included by Brahma, We are extremely worthy of their offerings. What is difficult in this human world? We have accomplished such a difficult task, Even with effort for countless billions of kalpas, It is impossible to repay you. Even with head, hands, and feet, It is extremely difficult to repay the kindness. Even when the kalpas equal to the sands of the Ganges are completed, Carrying on the head and shoulders, And offering food, drinks, clothes, etc., As well as bedding, cushions, and large covers, And building temples with sandalwood, Spreading exquisite silk curtains, And also many kinds of medicines for healing diseases, Constantly offering them to worship the Sugata. Even if offered for kalpas equal to the sands of the Ganges, It is never possible to repay that kindness. Those who possess the Dharma with unparalleled great power, Those who abide in the strength of patience and have great miraculous powers, The Buddhas, great kings, and uncontaminated victors, Are extremely tolerant of such actions of children. Thus, constantly following and entering accordingly, And teaching the Dharma to those who practice with characteristics, The sovereign of the Dharma, sovereign over all the world, The great sovereign, the sovereign lord who guides the world. Because they know well the abodes of sentient beings, They separately teach many kinds of methods of accomplishment. Knowing their various inclinations, They extensively teach the Dharma in hundreds of thousands of ways. For all sentient beings and individuals, Knowing well the conduct of the Tathagata, Therefore, extensively teaching this supreme Bodhi, And extremely well speaking of many kinds of Dharmas. The chapter called "Belief and Understanding" in the 《Lotus Sutra》 is the fourth chapter.
