When he accepted the extremely great and exceedingly rare, the Thus-Gone One praised, saying: "Well done! Well done! Son of lineage, may you become known as Lion Fragrance. In the second of countless eons like the sands of the Ganges, from this land to the east, after passing a number of Buddha-fields like the dust motes of forty-two Ganges rivers, there, in the world-realm called Stainless Blue Appearance, you will become the Thus-Gone One called Stainless Appearance Fragrance-Vision and Powerful King." The eighth prince, Harmless, said: "I will make the Buddha-field completely pure, just as the Buddha-field is without afflictions, just like the world-realm Stainless Blue Appearance, and practice accordingly. I will generate and meditate on one trillion and one thousand bodhisattva samadhis, including the samadhi Appearance Arrangement and so forth. May I see the Buddhas residing in the limitless worlds of the ten directions, and the Buddha-fields of the three times, filled with the Victorious Ones called Banner Peak Adornment. Furthermore, may I see the Victorious Ones surrounded by limitless assemblies of hearers and bodhisattvas, and prostrate to them with limitless bodies equal to the dust motes of the fields, make immeasurable offerings, ripen sentient beings, and just as I have made aspirations and spoken truthful words, purify the Buddha-field like Stainless Blue Appearance, and may it be accompanied by wondrous signs." The Thus-Gone One praised, saying: "Well done! Well done! You are delighted to purify the Buddha-field, completely purify the continuums of countless sentient beings, and make immeasurable and countless offerings to immeasurable and countless Buddhas. Therefore, may you become Samantabhadra. Samantabhadra, after countless eons like the sands of one Ganges river have passed, when the second period arrives, from the north of this land, after passing sixty Ganges rivers, there will arise a world-realm called Qualities of Extremely Pure Wisdom Water. That field

而且,您将被预言为如来、应供、正等觉、智慧金刚、完全胜利自在顶。那时,成千上万的懒惰众生一致地说:当具有极其纯净之心的普贤菩萨行持菩萨行,并将佛土完全清净时,我们也将在那个佛土成佛。当他们这样请求时,您们也将在那个世界周围成佛,成千上万的名字相同,名为无垢妙音自在王等等,都得到了授记。第九王子无罪说,当我行持菩萨行时,在获得大菩提之间的所有生世中,我将舍弃后悔和扰乱他人之心,以及怀疑和声闻独觉之心,以及所有不善之心,我将出家,恭敬说法者等等,并且如所发誓言般坚定,如所说般行事等等,如是宣说具有誓言真实语,如是当他双手显现具有千辐的珍宝天轮等奇妙神变时,如来赞许道:你已发下了非常美好的愿望,此天轮也将使五浊恶世的空虚之地,安置无量众生于无染之心,并使他们受持菩提,因此,你将成为名为不动者。你将成佛,摄持清净的佛土吧。王子说:所有的大地都由黄金构成,像手掌一样平坦,遍布天界的珍宝等等,具有器之功德,没有五浊、恶趣、衰老和死亡,忆念佛陀等等,具有善法,没有执着和占有等等,具有有情之功德,具备楼阁、衣饰、音乐等等一切安乐受用,如是摄持奇妙的佛土庄严。如来开示道:善男子不动者,你在未来经过如恒河沙数的一个大劫之后,将降临于第二个大劫。

Moreover, you will be prophesied to become the Tathagata, Arhat, Perfectly Awakened One, Wisdom Vajra, Completely Victorious Independent Crown. At that time, hundreds of thousands of lazy beings unanimously said: When the Bodhisattva Samantabhadra, with an extremely pure mind, practices the Bodhisattva conduct and completely purifies the Buddha-field, we will also become Buddhas in that Buddha-field. When they requested in this way, you will also attain enlightenment around that world, hundreds of thousands with the same name, named Immaculate Melodious Voice Independent King, etc., were all prophesied. The ninth prince, Sinless, said, When I practice the Bodhisattva conduct, in all lifetimes until I attain great Bodhi, I will abandon regret and disturbing the minds of others, as well as doubt and the minds of Hearers and Solitary Realizers, and all unwholesome minds, I will renounce, respect the Dharma speakers, etc., and as the vows are firm and act as spoken, etc., thus declaring the truthful words of the vow, as he showed the miraculous transformations such as the appearance of a precious wheel of the gods with a thousand spokes in his two hands, the Tathagata praised: You have made very good aspirations, and this wheel of the gods will also place limitless beings in the empty lands of the five degenerations in a mind without defilement and cause them to uphold Bodhi, therefore, you will become known as the Immovable One. You will become a Buddha, take hold of the pure Buddha-field. The prince said: All the earth is made of gold and is as flat as the palm of the hand, covered with heavenly jewels, etc., possessing the qualities of the vessel, without the five degenerations, evil destinies, old age, and death, remembering the Buddha, etc., possessing virtuous Dharma, without attachment and possession, etc., possessing the qualities of sentient beings, possessing mansions, garments, music, etc., all the enjoyments of happiness, thus holding the wonderful adornment of the Buddha-field. The Tathagata revealed: Son of the lineage, Immovable One, in the future, after one great kalpa as numerous as the sands of the Ganges has passed, you will descend upon the second great kalpa.

然后,在东方,从这个佛土经过一千个佛土之后,有一个名为“极乐世界”的世间,正如你所发的愿一样,具备那样的功德和庄严。你在那里证得无上菩提,如来的名号也将变为“不动”。如是授记。之后,第十位王子,名为“雪之宝”,如不动佛一样发愿。如来赞叹道:‘善哉,善男子,你发了广大的愿!’因为你将旃檀蛇心(藏文,梵文天城体,梵文罗马拟音,汉语字面意思)放在一切众生的手中,并以坚定的意念生起对佛的忆念,你将成为香象。在你,如来不动佛圆寂,正法隐没七日之后,你将在那个世间成为圆满正觉的佛,名为金莲。如是授记。第十一位王子,名为“狮子”,如香象一样发愿。如来授记道:‘你将成为宝顶,在极乐世界,如来金莲佛涅槃之后,正法隐没,经过三个中劫,那个佛土的名字将变为胜月。在那里,你将证得如来名号为象王遍扬自在音,你的佛土也将如不动佛的佛土一样庄严。’如是授记。之后,曼德等五百人,如菩萨虚空藏一样发愿并执持佛土,如来也授记他们将在其他佛土证得无上菩提。四百位王子以金刚断智慧光芒所圆满执持的佛土一样发愿,所有这些也被如来授记成佛。同样,九十位王子如普贤菩萨所发愿一样执持佛土,所有这些也被授记成佛。如是

而且,八万四千个欲界之王各自手持佛土的功德庄严,并发下了特殊的愿望。九亿恒河沙数的众生,以及两百亿的众生,也手持佛土,并发愿证得无上菩提,所有这些都在不同的世界中被如来授记将证得无上圆满菩提。之后,婆罗门海尘劝请如来的八十个兄弟中的长兄,婆罗门之子海自在遍入持有佛土。海尘说:‘父亲,您应当发出狮子吼。’儿子说:‘您先发愿,我稍后再发。’儿子说:‘父亲,您是持有清净的佛土,还是不清净的佛土?’父亲说:‘婆罗门之子,虽然具有大悲心的菩萨会完全接受不清净的刹土,但你自己应当知晓。’之后,婆罗门之子海自在遍入在如来面前发愿:‘愿我等众生在寿命达到八万岁时,证得殊胜菩提。’那时,众生的贪欲等烦恼微小,且多数具有厌离轮回之心,愿我能在这样的众生中成佛。如来授记说:‘在未来经过无数个恒河沙数劫之后,在一个名为优钵罗正觉的劫中,在这个佛土的四大洲中名为殊胜的洲,当众生的寿命达到八万岁时,你将成佛,名为如来宝积。’之后,婆罗门之子第二个儿子正生等,直到最小的儿子,都被授记在同一个劫中成佛。侍者的最小的儿子,名为离怖畏者,他发愿说:‘愿先前被授记的七十九个婆罗门之子所成就的佛陀的身量,调伏众生,僧众的数量,以及说法,都与那些佛陀的寿命和调伏

Moreover, each of the eighty-four thousand kings of the desire realm, holding the qualities and arrangements of the Buddha-fields, made special aspirations. Also, nine hundred million kotis of beings, and two hundred billion beings, holding Buddha-fields, made aspirations for unsurpassed enlightenment; all of these were prophesied by the Tathagata to attain unsurpassed perfect enlightenment in different worlds. Then, the Brahmin Ocean Dust urged the eldest of the eighty brothers of the Tathagata, the Brahmin boy Ocean Empowerment All-Pervading, to hold a Buddha-field. Ocean Dust said, 'Father, you should roar the lion's roar.' The son said, 'You should first make an aspiration, and I will make one later.' He said, 'Father, do you hold a completely pure Buddha-field, or an impure one?' The father said, 'Brahmin boy, although Bodhisattvas who possess great compassion will fully accept impure realms, you should know this yourself.' Then, the Brahmin boy Ocean Empowerment All-Pervading, in front of the Tathagata, made the aspiration: 'May I attain supreme enlightenment when beings have a lifespan of eighty thousand years.' At that time, the sentient beings' attachment and other afflictions will be small, and many will have the thought of being weary of samsara; may I become a Buddha among such beings. The Tathagata prophesied: 'In the future, after countless eons, as many as the sands of one Ganges River, in an eon called Utpala Perfect Awakening, in the best of the four continents of this Buddha-field, when beings have a lifespan of eighty thousand years, you will become a Buddha named Tathagata Jewel Accumulation.' Then, the second son of the Brahmin, Truly Born, and so on, up to the youngest son, were all prophesied to become Buddhas in that same eon. The youngest son of the attendant, named Fearless One, aspired: 'May the measure of the bodies of the Buddhas, the taming of beings, the number of the Sangha, and the teaching of the Dharma, accomplished by the seventy-nine Brahmin boys who were previously prophesied, be equal to the lifespan and taming of those Buddhas.'

就像祈愿把这些加起来变成那样。 优钵罗劫结束时,预言他将成为如来离尘正等现证。 然后,那位婆罗门的三个俱胝的弟子们聚集在欢喜园的门口。 海尘劝说婆罗门童子们发起菩提心,并享用他们所希望的佛土功德庄严。 婆罗门童子星群之首说道:以什么样的道路,什么样的集合,什么样的行为,什么样的随念才能获得菩提? 前导者说:不是福德、智慧、知识、正确修行这四个无尽藏,而是宣说大菩提道的赞颂。 婆罗门童子在那如来面前发誓要在这浊世成佛,并以真实语显示了双手出现象王之首的神变。 如来授记他为大宝伞佛现证光明。 同样,一千个婆罗门童子和三个俱胝的婆罗门童子们都发愿在这个佛土证得无上圆满菩提,所有这些都被如来宝心所授记。 最后将成为佛陀毗婆尸,顶髻佛和一切救护者。 在所有被授记的婆罗门童子中,有一个精通吠陀的婆罗门,他是一千个婆罗门的首领,受到许多人的尊敬,名叫遍入风,他祈请道:愿我于五浊具足的佛土成佛,并为三毒炽盛的众生宣说佛法。 名叫星宿守护的婆罗门童子问道:尊者遍入风看到了什么样的意义,才发愿在五浊具足的佛土成佛呢? 婆罗门海尘说道:凡是具有大悲心的菩萨,他就会在五浊具足的刹土证得菩提,并且对于无依无靠的众生

Just as they prayed that the combination of these would become like that. At the end of the Utpala kalpa, it was prophesied that he would become the Tathagata, the dust-free, perfectly enlightened manifest one. Then, three crore disciples of that Brahmin were gathered at the gate of the Joyful Garden. Ocean Dust urged the Brahmin boys to generate the mind of enlightenment and to enjoy whatever qualities and arrangements of the Buddha-field they desired. The chief of the Brahmin boys, Star Cluster, said: By what kind of path, what kind of assembly, what kind of conduct, and what kind of mindfulness will enlightenment be attained? The leader said: Not the four inexhaustible treasuries of merit, wisdom, knowledge, and correct practice, but the praise of the path of great enlightenment was spoken. The Brahmin boy then vowed before the Tathagata to become a Buddha in this degenerate realm, and with words of truth, he showed the manifestation of the chief of elephants appearing in his two hands. The Tathagata prophesied that he would be called the Buddha Great Jewel Umbrella Manifest Light. Similarly, a thousand Brahmin boys and three crore Brahmin boys all prayed to attain unsurpassed perfect enlightenment in this Buddha-field, and all of them were prophesied by the Tathagata Jewel Heart. The last will become the Buddhas Vipashyin, Ushnishin, and All-Savior. Among all the prophesied Brahmin boys, one who was well-versed in the Vedas, the eldest of a thousand Brahmins, revered by many, named Pervasive Wind, prayed: May I become a Buddha in a Buddha-field endowed with the five degenerations, and may I teach the Dharma to sentient beings afflicted by the three poisons. A Brahmin boy named Star Protector asked: O Abbot, what meaning has Pervasive Wind seen that he prays to become a Buddha in a Buddha-field endowed with the five degenerations? The Brahmin Ocean Dust said: Whatever Bodhisattva is endowed with great compassion, he will attain enlightenment in a realm endowed with the five degenerations, and for sentient beings without refuge or protection
