said. The Blessed One said: These great Bodhisattvas who have come from countless other Buddha-fields, they have all been prophesied to attain unsurpassed enlightenment by the Buddhas of the past and present. The king asked: O Blessed One, when will this Brahmin Ocean Dust attain unsurpassed enlightenment, so that we may also attain unsurpassed enlightenment? The Blessed One said: Brahmin Ocean Dust is endowed with great compassion, and when he roars the lion's roar, you will also hear it. The king asked: If I could receive the prophecy of the Blessed One, and if my aspiration could be fulfilled, then when I prostrate with five limbs at the feet of the Blessed One, may the worlds as numerous as the sands of the Ganges shake and tremble, and may the Buddhas dwelling in those fields also prophesy to me. Then he prostrated at the feet of the Buddha and made this aspiration, and the Buddhas prophesied to him as he wished. The Blessed One said: O most excellent of beings who know what to do, with the power of as many Ganges you are prophesied, even the earth with mountains has moved, you will become the guide who tames beings. Then, the retinue of the wheel-turning king rejoiced and were delighted, and gathered in one place to listen to the Dharma, neither too close nor too far away. Then, the Brahmin Ocean Dust called the son of the wheel-turning king, Unblinking, and instructed him as before. Then Unblinking said: O Blessed One, when I look at the evil destinies, there is unbearable suffering; when I look at the heavens, because of the mind of affliction, they fall back into the evil destinies. When I look at all beings, they are seized by evil friends and are in the darkness of the famine of Dharma, the roots of virtue are exhausted, they are seized by the crocodile of wrong views, and they dwell in the evil path. For their sake, I dedicate all roots of virtue to unsurpassed enlightenment. When I practice the conduct of a Bodhisattva, may those beings who are suffering, fearful, lacking Dharma, discouraged, weak, and without refuge, remember me and call my name. May I hear it with my divine ear and see it with my divine eye.

愿成为这样。像这样,在那些众生未从痛苦中完全解脱之前,我决不成佛无上圆满正等觉。我以愿力的殊胜,为了众生的缘故,长久行持菩萨行时,愿我的期望完全圆满。国王轮的周边成佛为无量寿佛之后,完全涅槃,正法隐没之前,我行持菩萨行,夜晚正法隐没的黎明成佛时,祈请世尊和十方诸佛为我授记。如来开示说:善男子,你观视天界和恶趣的一切众生,生起慈悲心,因此你名为观世音自在。观世音,你将使无量众生从痛苦中解脱,在菩萨的时期也将会做佛的事业。善男子,你在如来无量光完全涅槃后,经过无数劫,相当于两个恒河沙数时,任何夜晚正法隐没的那天黎明,在众多菩提树的跟前,坐在金刚座上,将会成佛无上圆满正等觉,名为如来应供正等觉光明普照殊胜积聚王。并授记说,那位佛的寿命和正法住世的时间,以及王子自己说谛实语时,十方世界震动,发出美妙的乐器声,诸佛授记等等广大之事,可在经中查阅。之后,婆罗门海尘依次劝请第二王子轮等,那些王子各自按照自己的想法受持清净的佛土,并发誓行持菩萨行,如来授记并出现奇妙的征兆等,详细内容可在经中了解。关于此

May it be so. Thus, until those sentient beings are completely liberated from suffering, may I not attain unsurpassed, perfect, complete enlightenment. By the power of my aspiration, for the sake of sentient beings, while practicing the conduct of a Bodhisattva for a long time, may my hopes be completely fulfilled. After King Rimgyi Mukhyu becomes the Buddha Amitayus, and completely passes into nirvana, until the sacred Dharma disappears, I will practice the conduct of a Bodhisattva, and when I attain enlightenment at dawn when the sacred Dharma disappears at night, I request the Bhagavan and the Buddhas of the ten directions to prophesy me. The Tathagata said: Son of good family, because you look upon all sentient beings in the heavens and the evil realms and generate a mind of compassion, therefore you shall be called Avalokiteshvara. Avalokiteshvara, you will liberate immeasurable sentient beings from suffering, and even in the time of a Bodhisattva, you will do the deeds of a Buddha. Son of good family, after the Tathagata Amitabha completely passes into nirvana, after countless eons, equivalent to twice the sands of the Ganges, on the dawn of the very night when the sacred Dharma disappears, you will sit on a vajra seat under many arranged Bodhi trees and attain unsurpassed, perfect, complete enlightenment, and you will be called the Tathagata, Arhat, Samyaksambuddha, Light Rays Shining in All Directions, Glorious Accumulation King. And he prophesied that the lifespan of that Buddha and the duration of the sacred Dharma's existence, and when the prince himself spoke the truth, the fields of the ten directions shook, and the sound of melodious instruments resounded, and the Buddhas prophesied, etc., and many great events occurred, which can be seen in the sutra itself. Then, the Brahmin Ocean Dust successively urged the second prince, Wheel, etc., and those princes each took hold of the pure Buddha land according to their own thoughts, and vowed to practice the conduct of a Bodhisattva, and the Tathagata prophesied and wonderful signs appeared, etc., the details of which can be learned from the sutra.

第二个王子名为“围绕”,即菩萨大势至,在观世音菩萨化现为庄严王时,于名为“圆满积聚一切珍宝佛土”的刹土中,庄严王逝世之后成佛,佛号为“善安立功德宝积王如来”。其刹土功德如同庄严王一般。第三个王子名为“自在军”,他发起了广大的菩萨行,并领受了极其广大的刹土量和功德。世尊对此开示道:“善哉!善男子,你既贤善又明智,且心怀正念,发起了极好的愿望。你具足功德和智慧,为了利益一切众生,如此殊胜地发起了最上等的智慧,并领受了佛土功德的最胜庄严。善男子,你将成为文殊。”文殊,你在未来世,经过无数个恒河沙数劫之后,当第三个劫降临时,在南方会出现一个名为“清净离尘圆满积聚”的清净世界,此娑婆世界也将包含在其中。在那里,你将证得无上圆满菩提,成为如来、应供、正遍知“普见”如来。第四个王子名为“无烦恼”,他如文殊菩萨一样发愿,领受了同样的刹土和菩萨行。如来对他说:“你成为菩萨之后,也将摧毁无量众生的烦恼之山,并做佛的事业,因此你的名字将是“金刚断除慧光吉祥”。你将在经过无数个恒河沙数劫之后,当第二个劫降临时,在东方会有一个世界,超越了十个恒河沙数微尘数的刹土,名为“不瞬世界”。你将如自己所发之愿

The second prince, named "Surrounding," is the Bodhisattva Mahāsthāmaprāpta. When Avalokiteśvara manifested as King Splendor-Accumulation, in the buddha-field called "Perfectly Accumulating All Precious Qualities," after King Splendor-Accumulation passed away, he will attain buddhahood and be called "The Tathāgata Well-Established Qualities Jewel Accumulation King." The qualities of his field will be like those of King Splendor-Accumulation. The third prince, named "Host of Powers," took on the vast conduct of a bodhisattva, and the Blessed One spoke about holding a measure and qualities of a field that were exceedingly vast: "Well done, noble son! You are wise, clear, and mindful, and you have made an exceedingly good aspiration. You are endowed with qualities and wisdom, and for the sake of all sentient beings, you have auspiciously made such an excellent and supreme intellect, and you have completely taken on the supreme arrangement of the qualities of a buddha-field. Son of good family, may you become Mañjuśrī! Mañjuśrī, in the future, after countless eons, as many as the sands of two Ganges Rivers, have passed, when the third one arrives, in the southern direction, there will be a pure world called "Pure, Dustless, Perfectly Accumulated." This Sahā world will also be included in it. There, you will attain unsurpassed, perfect enlightenment and become the Tathāgata, Arhat, Perfectly Awakened One, called "All-Seeing." The fourth prince, named "Without Afflictions," like Mañjuśrī's aspiration, took on the same field and bodhisattva conduct. The Tathāgata said to him, "When you become a bodhisattva, you will also destroy the mountain of afflictions of immeasurable sentient beings, and you will also do the deeds of a buddha. Therefore, your name will be "Vajra Cutter, Glory of Wisdom Light." After countless eons, as many as the sands of the Ganges River, have passed, when the second one arrives, in the eastern direction, there will be a world that has surpassed the number of fine particles of dust of ten Ganges Rivers, called the "Unblinking World." You will, as you have aspired,

像那样的功德庄严,被授记为名为普贤如来。第五王子名为无畏,他也将完全清净的、没有烦恼和恶趣等的世间,如同莲花佛的刹土一般受持。如来开示说:善男子,你发愿极好,也受持了好的刹土,也将迅速获得三摩地,真实语的莲花雨也降下,虚空中莲花迅速开放,你将成为名为虚空手印。你于无数劫恒河沙数之后,降临于第二个无数劫时,在东南方名为莲花的世界中,将成为名为莲花胜妙佛,其寿命和菩萨僧众的数量也将是无法估量的。第六王子名为虚空,他如菩萨虚空手印的发愿和刹土一样受持。如来赞叹说:善男子,好啊!你的发愿广大,你的福德将使十方世界恒河沙数般众多合为一体,在由无数悦意之声所激励的佛刹中,你将成为名为普照。你于未来无数劫恒河沙数之后,降临于第二个无数劫时,在东方名为日月世界中,将成为名为法自在自在王如来。之后,第七王子名为支生,他发愿佛刹不是烦恼的,没有三恶趣和女身,没有山岩和高低,没有石头瓦砾,没有大小便鼻涕等不净之物,具有珍宝庄严和鲜花,以及乐器声等各种庄严的器世界圆满,以及一切有情都具有三摩地,能见到十方佛等刹土的功

With such qualities and virtues, he was prophesied to be named Samantabhadra Tathagata. The fifth prince, named Fearless, also upheld a completely pure realm, free from afflictions and evil destinies, like the realm of the Lotus Buddha. The Tathagata declared: "Noble son, your aspiration is excellent, and you have also upheld a good realm. You will quickly attain samadhi, and the rain of lotus flowers of truthful words will fall. Because lotuses have rapidly bloomed in the sky, you shall become known as the Sky Mudra. After countless kalpas, as many as the sands of one Ganges River, have passed, when you descend into the second countless kalpa, in the southeast direction, in the world called Lotus, you will become known as the Lotus Supreme Buddha, whose lifespan and the number of bodhisattva sanghas will be immeasurable." The sixth prince, named Sky, upheld the aspiration and realm of the Bodhisattva Sky Mudra as they were. The Tathagata praised him, saying: "Noble being, well done! Your aspiration is vast, and your merit will cause the many worlds of the ten directions, as numerous as the sands of the Ganges River, to become one. In that Buddha-field, inspired by countless pleasing sounds, you shall become known as Illuminator. In the future, after countless kalpas, as many as the sands of the Ganges River, have passed, when you descend into the second countless kalpa, in the eastern direction, in the world called Sun and Moon, you will become known as the Tathagata Dharma-自在-自在王 (Lord of Dharma Empowerment)." Then, the seventh prince, named Limb-born, aspired for a Buddha-field that is not afflicted, without the three lower realms and female forms, without mountains and rocks, heights and depths, stones and gravel, without impurities such as excrement, urine, and mucus, but possessing a complete vessel-world adorned with precious ornaments, flowers, and musical sounds, and all sentient beings endowed with samadhi, seeing the Buddhas of the ten directions, and other qualities of the field.

当他接受了非常伟大且极其稀有的东西时,如来赞许道:“善哉!善哉!种姓之子,你将成为名为狮子香的人。你将在无数恒河沙劫的第二个时期,从这片土地的东方,经过四十二恒河沙数的佛土微尘数,到达名为无尘青香显现的世界。在那里,你将成为名为无尘显现香见和自在王的如来。” 第八王子无害者说道:“我将使佛土完全清净,如同无烦恼的佛土,如同无尘青香显现的世界一样,并如此行持。我将生起并修习一万一千俱胝菩萨禅定,包括禅定显现庄严等。愿我能见到居住在十方无量世界中的诸佛,以及过去、现在、未来三世的佛土,充满着名为胜幢顶端庄严的诸佛。此外,愿我能见到被无数声闻和菩萨眷属围绕的诸佛,并以与世界微尘数相同的无量身体向他们顶礼,进行无量供养,成熟众生,并如我所发愿和所说真实语一般,清净如无尘青香显现般的佛土,并伴随着奇妙的征兆。” 如来赞许道:“善哉!善哉!你乐于清净佛土,完全清净无数众生的相续,并对无量无数的佛陀进行无量无数的供养。因此,你将成为普贤。普贤,你将在无数恒河沙劫之后,当第二个时期到来时,从这片土地的北方,经过六十恒河沙数,将会出现一个名为智慧之水极其清净功德的世界。那个佛土
