哦!那個世界的名稱叫做大光明。那個世界裡面的樹林或園林,凡是有多少,那些全部都是由七寶所組成的。那些樹林中,也會發出這樣的聲音:就是空性的聲音、無相的聲音、無願的聲音、無生的聲音、無物的聲音、無相狀的聲音,以及像那樣的聲音都會發出來,那些聲音的發出,能讓那些有情眾生獲得現證。那位如來的聲聞弟子第一群是九十九俱胝的僧眾,全部都是阿羅漢、漏盡者、已捨棄重擔者、已獲得自身利益者、已完全斷除有結者、以正確的教令心得到極度解脫的僧眾。第二群是九十六俱胝的僧眾。第三群是九十三俱胝的僧眾。第四群是九十俱胝的僧眾,全部都是阿羅漢、漏盡者、已捨棄重擔者、已獲得自身利益者、已完全斷除有結者、以正確的教令心得到極度解脫的僧眾。菩薩的僧眾也有那麼多,全部都是具有無生法忍,擅長修持各種法門,承侍供養眾多百千俱胝的佛,在眾多百千俱胝的佛土中廣為人知,如實度化眾多百千俱胝的有情眾生,善能獲得無量門的陀羅尼,擅長現證百千俱胝的等持的僧眾。更不用說那些不是那樣的初發心菩薩摩訶薩和新入大乘者了。那位如來的佛土莊嚴,不是言語可以輕易表達的。那位如來完全

O! The name of that world is Great Light. In that world, all the forests or gardens, however many there are, are all made of the seven precious substances. From those forests, such sounds also arise: namely, the sound of emptiness, the sound of no sign, the sound of no aspiration, the sound of no birth, the sound of no thing, the sound of no characteristic, and sounds like that arise, and the arising of those sounds enables those sentient beings to attain realization. The first assembly of disciples of that Thus-Gone One was an assembly of ninety-nine kotis of monks, all of whom were Arhats, those with outflows exhausted, those who had abandoned the burden, those who had attained their own benefit, those who had completely severed the bonds of existence, an assembly of those whose minds were utterly liberated by the correct command. The second assembly was an assembly of ninety-six kotis of monks. The third assembly was an assembly of ninety-three kotis of monks. The fourth assembly was an assembly of ninety kotis of monks, all of whom were Arhats, those with outflows exhausted, those who had abandoned the burden, those who had attained their own benefit, those who had completely severed the bonds of existence, an assembly of those whose minds were utterly liberated by the correct command. The assembly of Bodhisattvas was also that numerous, all of whom possessed the forbearance of non-arising dharmas, skilled in practicing various methods, attending upon and honoring many hundreds of thousands of kotis of Buddhas, renowned in many hundreds of thousands of kotis of Buddha-fields, truly liberating many hundreds of thousands of kotis of sentient beings, skilled in obtaining the dharanis of limitless doors, skilled in actualizing hundreds of thousands of kotis of samadhis. Not to mention those who are not like that, the newly initiated Bodhisattva-Mahasattvas and those newly entering the Great Vehicle. The adornment of that Thus-Gone One's Buddha-field is not easy to express in words. That Thus-Gone One completely

当(佛陀)入灭后,正法能住世六十千年。那些火化后的声音,之后也不会再出现了。世尊,那时出现一位比丘菩萨法师,名为极喜自在。世尊,那位菩萨极喜自在是先前的行者,行为不做作,不从一切世间法中退转。那些众生也根器锐利,稍微开示就能理解,而且全部都信奉深奥的法。他不对那些众生宣扬少欲的功德,也不宣扬知足、持戒和喜爱独处的功德,也不宣扬无喧嚣的功德。他向那些众生开示说,一切法都是贪欲的自性,一切法都是嗔恨的自性,一切法都是愚痴的自性,一切法都是无障碍的自性。他用那种方法开示说,一切行为也都是一种体性。以那种方法被开示的众生,也不会对那位菩萨的行为感到不悦,那些没有嗔恨心的人,获得了忍辱地。对于如来的教法,也不会犹豫,而是坚信不疑。那时出现一位比丘菩萨法师,名为胜慧。世尊,那位名为胜慧的法师,获得了四禅,获得了四无色定,也如实地受持并安住于十二种头陀功德。世尊,被菩萨胜慧所调伏的那些人,都是挑剔过失、宣扬过失,而且心智不坚定。世尊,之后菩萨胜慧在行持善行的时候,从无明中来到了菩萨极喜自在乞食的那个城市。他在那里看到一个居士子弟的住所,然后(想知道)居士子弟在哪里

After the Tathagata passed away, the sacred Dharma would last for sixty thousand years. Those sounds from the cremations would not occur again thereafter. O Blessed One, at that time, there arose a bhikṣu bodhisattva dharma speaker named Lord of Supreme Joy. O Blessed One, that bodhisattva Lord of Supreme Joy was a practitioner of previous conduct. His conduct was unfeigned, and he never turned back from any worldly dharmas. Those beings were also sharp-witted and could understand with just a slight explanation, and they all had faith in the profound. He did not praise the merit of having few desires to those beings, nor did he praise contentment, discipline, or delighting in solitude. He did not praise the absence of commotion either. He taught those beings that all dharmas are of the nature of desire, all dharmas are of the nature of hatred, all dharmas are of the nature of delusion, and all dharmas are without obscuration. In that way, he taught that all actions are also of a single characteristic. Those beings who were taught in such a way did not become displeased with the conduct of that bodhisattva. Those who had no anger attained the ground of patience. They also did not waver in the teachings of the Tathagata and became certain. At that time, there arose a bhikṣu bodhisattva dharma speaker named Victorious Intellect. O Blessed One, that dharma speaker named Victorious Intellect had attained the four dhyānas and the four formless absorptions. He had also perfectly taken up and abided in the twelve qualities of purification. O Blessed One, those who were tamed by the bodhisattva Victorious Intellect were fault-finders and fault-speakers, and they were all of unstable mind. O Blessed One, then the bodhisattva Victorious Intellect, while engaging in meritorious deeds, came from ignorance to that city where the bodhisattva Lord of Supreme Joy begged for alms. There he saw a dwelling of a householder's son, and then (wondered) where the householder's son was.
