能救度。如来开示说:遍入风,你未来之时,在东方名为“绀青旗”的世界,将变为如来名为山王。之后,一千婆罗门童子中的第一位,婆罗门童子星宿守护,发愿在此佛土众生寿命四万岁时成佛。如来授记说,在此娑婆世界寿命四万岁时,将成佛名为拘留孙佛。同样,从婆罗门之子第二位开始,直到第九百九十九位,都在此贤劫中,按照各自的愿望,在三万岁时成为金寂佛,在出现争斗时代征兆的两万岁时成为迦叶佛,在增长之后的八万岁时成为弥勒佛等。一千婆罗门童子中最小的力大持力者,供养此贤劫的一切佛,受持正法,在正法衰败和劫末之时利益众生,之后成为一千零四位佛陀的一切身寿和说法等综合事业者。如同发愿说,对于贤劫诸佛的教法,做出违背戒律、不恭敬和诽谤圣者等行为者,此佛也能从轮回的泥潭中救出,并引入涅槃之城。因此,给那个童子命名为药王无垢星,并授记为贤劫诸佛中最后一位,名为乐见或明见之佛。对此,婆罗门海尘赞叹说:从今以后,不需要你们侍奉我,请随意行事吧!这样说道。另外,婆罗门海尘供养的五个婆罗门童子,分别给予珍宝饰品等,让他们生起菩提心,如来分别授记他们将成佛。之后,婆罗门海尘心想:如何才能具足一切

Will liberate them. The Tathagata declared: "Pervading Wind, in the future, in the world called 'Azure Banner' in the east, you will become a Tathagata named King of Mountains." Then, the first of the thousand Brahmin boys, the Brahmin boy Star Protector, made a vow to attain enlightenment in this Buddha-field when beings live for forty thousand years. The Tathagata prophesied that in this Saha world, when the lifespan is forty thousand years, he will be enlightened as the Buddha Krakucchanda. Similarly, from the second Brahmin boy to the nine hundred and ninety-ninth, all in this fortunate eon, according to their respective vows, will become the Buddha Kanakamuni at the age of thirty thousand, the Buddha Kashyapa at the age of twenty thousand when the signs of the age of strife appear, and the Buddha Maitreya at the age of eighty thousand after the increase, and so on. The youngest of the thousand Brahmin boys, the powerful and strong one, having made offerings to all the Buddhas of this fortunate eon, upholding the Dharma, and benefiting beings in the decline of the Dharma and at the end of the eon, will then become the one who combines all the activities of the one thousand and four Buddhas, including their lifetimes and teachings. Just as he vowed, for those who violate the precepts, are disrespectful, and slander the noble ones in the teachings of the Buddhas of the fortunate eon, this Buddha will also rescue them from the mud of samsara and lead them into the city of Nirvana. Therefore, that boy was named King of Medicine, Immaculate Star, and was prophesied to be the last of the Buddhas of the fortunate eon, named Delightful to See or Clear to See. To this, the Brahmin Ocean Dust praised, saying: 'From now on, you do not need to serve me; please act as you please!' Thus he spoke. Furthermore, the Brahmin Ocean Dust, having served the five Brahmin boys, gave them precious ornaments and so forth, and caused them to generate the mind of enlightenment, and the Tathagata prophesied that they would each become Buddhas. Then, the Brahmin Ocean Dust thought: 'How can I be endowed with everything?'

于此眷属中,我已令无数亿兆生灵趋入无上菩提,一切众生皆已发广大之愿,佛土完全清净且纯洁,除了遍入风之外,其他菩萨皆已舍弃争斗之时,我已值遇争斗之时,应坚定精进,以众生为法之宾客。我必令此眷属及诸天等一切世间皆向我顶礼供养,诸佛世尊皆赐予“善哉”之语,赞叹称扬,未来之时,具大悲心之菩萨亦将出现,彼等亦将于争斗之时,于烦恼田中以愿力圆满菩提,救护贫困众生,行持佛之事业。我完全涅槃后,乃至不可思议劫中,亦将于十方佛土中受赞扬,于菩萨众前亦将宣说我之愿行,闻者惊叹,亦将受持如是大悲之愿行。故我当宣说愿力之狮子吼。如是思惟已,领诵之主导者,婆罗门海尘,袒露一肩,前往如来所在之处。彼时,无数亿兆天人奏响乐器,降下花雨,赞叹圣者“善哉”。具足一切之眷属亦皆合掌,异口同声赞叹圣者“善哉!最胜智者,利益我等,愿汝获得坚固之愿力,我等亦愿听闻。”其后,于世尊之前,领诵者双膝着地之际,真实佛土之三千大千世界一切大地皆震动,剧烈震动,乐器不击自鸣,一切飞禽走兽皆发出柔和之声,

In this assembly, I have caused countless billions of beings to enter into unsurpassed Bodhi, and all have made vast aspirations, holding the Buddha-fields entirely pure and immaculate. Since other Bodhisattvas, except for the pervasive wind, have abandoned the time of strife, and since I have arrived at the time of strife, I shall steadfastly exert myself, taking sentient beings as guests of the Dharma. I shall surely cause this assembly and all the worlds, including the gods, to prostrate and make offerings to me, and the Buddhas, the Bhagavat, shall bestow the word "Excellent!" and praise and extol me. In future times, those Bodhisattvas endowed with great compassion will also arise, and they too, in the time of strife, in the field of afflictions, will fully grasp Bodhi through aspiration, and by saving impoverished sentient beings, they will perform the deeds of the Buddha. Even after I have completely passed into Nirvana, for countless eons, I shall be praised in all the Buddha-fields of the ten directions, and before the Bodhisattvas, the manner of my aspiration will also be spoken. Having heard that, they will marvel and hold such a manner of great compassionate aspiration. Therefore, I shall utter the lion's roar of aspiration. Thinking thus, the chief of the reciters, the Brahmin Ocean Dust, bared one shoulder and went to where the Tathagata was. At that time, countless billions of gods played musical instruments and rained down flowers, praising the holy being, "Excellent!" And all the assembly, complete with everything, also joined their palms and unanimously praised the holy being, "Excellent! O Supreme Wise One, who benefits us, may you obtain steadfast aspiration! We also wish to listen." Then, in front of the Bhagavat, as soon as the reciter knelt on the ground, all the lands of the pure Buddha-fields, the three thousand great thousand world realms, shook and trembled greatly. The musical instruments played without being struck. All the birds and wild animals uttered gentle sounds.

从所有供品中献上鲜花。愿这个世界的恶道永断,转为慈悲之心。愿虚空中游荡者以鲜花等供养。为了聆听梵天的祈愿,所有色究竟天之上的天神降临阎浮提,安住于虚空之中,致力于以天香和丝绸装饰品等进行供养。然后,那位婆罗门合掌向如来赞颂道:以禅定获得解脱,如梵天一般。身形光明灿烂,如同帝释天。如同国王般慷慨施舍财物粮食,如同拥有珍宝之首的能仁商主。宣说寂静,如同山中的狮子。不动摇,稳固如须弥山。如同大海般没有波涛汹涌,如同大地般平等对待功德与过失。以此等偈颂赞叹后祈请道:尊者世尊,我将无数亿万生命交付于圆满菩提,愿他们各自守护广阔的佛土,并摄受那些心念清净、守护善根、易于调伏的众生。那些以星宿守护等为首的婆罗门童子,诵读一千零四部吠陀者,如来已授记他们在贤劫成佛。那些殊胜之人,虽然可以用三乘来调伏贪欲、嗔恨和傲慢,然而,他们已经完全舍弃了烦恼的障碍和争斗时代的污垢。因此,他们也舍弃了造作无间罪者,舍弃正法,诽谤圣者,邪见,远离七圣财,不敬父母,不敬沙门和婆罗门,做不应做之事,行非福德之事,远离十善道,不畏惧来世,不追求三种善行,沉溺于三种恶行,被所有智者和善知识所抛弃,沉溺于轮回的牢狱之中,并且总是

Offer flowers from all offerings. May the evil destinies of this world be forever severed, and may it be transformed into a heart of loving-kindness. May those who wander in the sky make offerings with flowers and the like. For the sake of listening to the prayers of the Brahmin, may all the gods above Akanistha descend to Jambudvipa, abide in the middle of the sky, and diligently engage in the work of offering with divine incense and silk ornaments. Then, that Brahmin, with palms joined, praised the Thus-Gone One, saying: "With meditative absorption, liberation is like Brahma. The light of the form is bright, like Indra. Like a king, he generously gives wealth and grain. Like a merchant chief, the Thuba possesses supreme jewels. He proclaims peace, like a lion on a mountain. Unmoving and stable, like Mount Meru. Like the ocean, he has no turbulence. Like the earth, he treats merits and faults equally." Having preceded the praise with these and other verses, he requested: "Venerable Bhagavan, I entrust countless billions of beings to perfect enlightenment, may they each fully possess vast Buddha-fields, and may they take hold of sentient beings who are pure in mind, protect their roots of virtue, and are easy to tame. Those Brahmin children, headed by Star Protector and others, who recite the one thousand and four Vedas, have been prophesied by the Thus-Gone One to become Buddhas in the Fortunate Aeon. Those noble beings, although they may be tamed by the three vehicles in their practice of attachment, hatred, and pride, nevertheless, they have completely abandoned the obscurations of afflictions and the dregs of the age of strife. Therefore, they also abandon those who commit the five heinous crimes, abandon the holy Dharma, slander the noble ones, hold wrong views, are separated from the seven noble riches, do not respect their fathers, do not respect their mothers, do not respect ascetics and Brahmins, do what should not be done, do what is not virtuous, are separated from the ten paths of virtue, do not fear the next world, do not seek the three good practices, are immersed in the three evil practices, are abandoned by all the wise and virtuous friends, are immersed in the prison of existence, and are always

已经逝去的,沉溺于轮回的泥潭中,被愚痴的黑暗所遮蔽,被邪道所摧毁,获得巨大痛苦的众生都舍弃了。在这贤劫的人世间,连寿命只有十年的众生也被这些圣者舍弃了。他们沉溺于有生命的波涛中,陷入轮回的迷局,没有救护和依靠。各自的佛土美好而清净,难道不是摄受了积累善根、心念纯净且易于调伏的众生吗?如来开示说:婆罗门,确实如此。众生各自随其心念而发愿,佛陀所建立的净土也是摄受了那些众生,我也将对此进行授记。婆罗门问道:尊者世尊,我像金树迦树的叶子一样内心颤抖,我的心忧愁,全身都疲惫不堪。世尊,如果那时菩萨们舍弃了被大争斗时代的黑暗所抛弃的众生,而我却成为他们慈悲的对象,那么,世尊,我也将在未来的时代,经过无数恒河沙劫之后,当第二个贤劫来临时,安住于众生死后寿命可达千年的时代,并且在那漫长的时间里修持菩提行,永不厌倦轮回。我将以禅定的力量,在漫长的时间里成熟并调伏所见的众生,乐于摄受他们,并通过修持六度来摄受他们。世尊所说的完全舍弃事物之相,那就是布施波罗蜜多,应当修持这样的布施波罗蜜多。在其他生世中,如果有无数的乞讨者,我将极度欢喜地将食物、饮料、住所、医药、雨伞、旗帜和珍宝等一切他们所需要的施予他们,以慈悲之心不求果报地施予众生,使众生得以成熟,并且为了利益那些众生而布施一切。

Those who have passed away, who are drowning in the mire of samsara, who are obscured by the darkness of ignorance, who are destroyed by evil paths, and who have obtained great suffering, have been abandoned. In this good eon of this world, even all sentient beings at the time when life expectancy is ten years have been abandoned by these holy beings. They are in the waves of existence, caught in the cycle of samsara, without refuge or support. Their respective Buddha-fields are good and pure. Are they not fully embracing sentient beings who have accumulated roots of virtue, whose minds are pure, and who are easy to tame? The Thus-Gone One said: Brahmin, it is so. Sentient beings make aspirations according to their own thoughts, and the Buddha's arrangement of the fields also fully embraces those who are embraced, and I will also prophesy that. The Brahmin asked: Venerable Lord, I am like the leaves of the Kingśuka tree, my heart trembling, my mind is sad, and my whole body is exhausted. Lord, if at that time the Bodhisattvas abandon the sentient beings who are cast into darkness by the time of great strife, and I become the object of their compassion, then, Lord, I will also in the future, after countless eons like the sands of one Ganges River, when the second one arrives, abide in that good eon when the life expectancy of beings is a thousand years, and for that long time, practicing the conduct of enlightenment, may I never be weary of samsara. May I, by the power of samadhi, see sentient beings who have matured and are to be tamed for a long time, be happy to embrace them, and embrace them by practicing the six perfections. The Lord said that the complete abandonment of the characteristics of things is the perfection of generosity, and one should practice such perfection of generosity. If in other lifetimes there are countless beggars, I will be exceedingly happy to give them food, drink, shelter, medicine, umbrellas, banners, and jewels, and whatever they desire, and with a compassionate heart, without desiring fruit, I will give to sentient beings, so that those sentient beings may mature, and for the sake of benefiting those sentient beings, I will give all that I have.
