当时,发出了向诸佛顶礼的巨大声音。那声音被水怪听到后,生起了欢喜和不害之心,于是闭上了嘴,商人们平安顺利地到达了目的地,返回了赡部洲。那水怪也因听到佛的声音而感到快乐,从此不再吃众生,死后立即转生为人,对如来所说的法和律产生信心,于是出家,依止并侍奉善知识,获得了阿罗汉果位,现证了六神通,进入了无余涅槃的境界。如此,转生为畜生道的众生,因听到佛的声音而转生为人,并获得了涅槃的果报,因此,听闻和念诵诸佛世尊的名号具有如此巨大的力量和神通。 如此,听闻佛的名号等善根,也因各自内心的愿望,对某些人来说,成为获得小乘菩提的因,对某些人来说,则成为获得圆满无上大菩提的因。 又说: 贤者阿难,我乃是受损众生的救护者,保护者,和朋友。等等。 我是包括天人在内的世界的导师,调御者,对一切众生具有慈悲心。 那是为什么呢? 贤者阿难,在末法时期,正法衰败之时,那些将要于我的教法中出家的人,出家后,从孩子的手中接过,和孩子一起为了酒杯而游荡于酒馆,所有那些追随我的正法的人,贤者阿难,都将在这个贤劫中获得完全的涅槃。 就像那些伪装成修行者,行为恶劣的人,也能在这个贤劫的佛陀教法中获得涅槃,甚至没有一个比丘会留下。 那是为什么呢? 就像这样,对如来证悟和随证悟法界生起一念清净心,并顶礼。

At that time, a great sound of prostrating to the Buddhas arose. When that sound was heard by the water monster, it developed a mind of joy and non-harm, so it closed its mouth again, and the merchants safely and successfully reached their destination and returned to Jambudvipa. That water monster also felt happiness upon hearing the sound of the Buddha, and from then on, it did not eat living beings. When it died, it was immediately reborn as a human, and with faith in the Dharma and Vinaya spoken by the Tathagata, it renounced the world, relied on and served virtuous friends, attained the Arhatship, manifested the six superknowledges, and passed into the realm of nirvana without remainder. Thus, a being who went to the animal realm, by hearing the sound of the Buddha, was reborn as a human and attained the fruit of nirvana. Therefore, hearing and reciting the names of the Buddhas, the Bhagavat, has such great power and miraculous abilities. Thus, hearing the names of the Buddhas and other roots of virtue also, according to the power of one's own mind's aspirations, for some, it becomes the cause for attaining the lesser Bodhi of the Hearers, and for others, it becomes the cause for fully perfecting the unsurpassed great Bodhi. Furthermore, it is said: Ananda, I am the refuge of beings who are ruined, the protector, and the friend. And so on. I am the teacher of the world, including the gods, the tamer, and have compassion for all beings. Why is that? Ananda, in the future, at the time when the Dharma is decaying, those who will renounce the world in my teachings, having renounced, taking from the hand of a child, wandering with the child to the tavern for the sake of a cup of wine, all those who follow this, my sacred Dharma, Ananda, will attain complete nirvana in this Fortunate Aeon. Just like those who pretend to be practitioners, the wicked ones, will also attain nirvana in the teachings of the Buddha of this Fortunate Aeon, and not even one monk will be left behind. Why is that? Like this, generating a single pure thought and prostrating to the Tathagata who realizes and subsequently realizes the realm of Dharma.

僅僅說一次,也會成為達到涅槃的最終原因。正如:如此佛陀不可思議,佛法亦不可思議,對不可思議生信解,其果報亦不可思議。等等。對於在佛陀身上種下的善根不會浪費的比喻:就像一滴小水滴落入大海中不會耗盡一樣,僅僅生起對佛陀的專注心,也永遠不會浪費。即使這些眾生因先前的業力而墮入惡道和惡趣,但先前在佛陀身上種下的善根,當佛陀出現在世間時,會被佛陀看到,並從墮落中解脫出來,使他們憶起善根,並獲得涅槃。又說,阿難,像我這樣,即使做了再小的善根也不會浪費,生起一念善心的所有善根的果報就是涅槃,最終我說會達到涅槃。例如,被墨汁污染的魚,即使在水中,也一定會被撈到岸上。同樣,那些在佛陀身上種下善根的人,即使因先前的罪過而生於墮落之處,當諸佛出現在世間時,也會以無垢的智慧看到這些善根,並從墮落中救出,安置於解脫的果位。如果向佛陀供養等,即使那些完全執著於輪迴的眾生不希求涅槃,也沒有他們不能獲得涅槃的道理。因為佛陀世尊本身就是無上的福田,就像在肥沃的土地上播種,即使說『種子啊,你不要生長』,它還是會生長一樣。未來之時,會出現作惡的國王和野蠻人,即使那些屬於他們一方的各種人們不了解佛法和佛陀的功德,但當他們看到如來佛的佛塔和佛像時,如果內心變得清淨,那是因為他們先前與佛陀以四攝法結下了緣分,因此他們的心

Even saying it once will become the ultimate cause for attaining Nirvana. Just as: Thus, the Buddha is inconceivable, the Dharma is also inconceivable, having faith in the inconceivable, its fruition is also inconceivable. And so on. As an example of the merit generated towards the Buddha not being wasted: Just as a small drop of water falling into the ocean will not be exhausted, even just generating a single thought of devotion towards the Buddha will never be wasted. Even if those sentient beings fall into evil destinies and bad migrations due to previous karma, the root of virtue previously generated towards the Buddha will be seen by the Buddhas who appear in the world, and they will be liberated from falling into wrongdoing, causing them to remember the root of virtue and attain Nirvana. Furthermore, it is said, Ananda, even the smallest root of virtue done for someone like me will not be wasted, and the result of all those roots of virtue from generating a single thought is Nirvana; ultimately, I say they will attain Nirvana. For example, just as a fish stained with ink, even if it is in the water, will surely be taken out onto dry land, similarly, those who have generated roots of virtue towards the Buddha, even if they are born in a place of falling into wrongdoing due to previous faults, when the Buddhas appear in the world, they will see those roots of virtue with unobstructed wisdom and rescue them from falling into wrongdoing, placing them in the fruit of liberation. And if offerings are made to the Buddha, etc., even if those sentient beings who are completely attached to samsara do not aspire to Nirvana, there is no reason why they cannot attain Nirvana. Because the Buddha, the Bhagavan himself, is the supreme field of merit, just as if one sows seeds in fertile ground, even if one says, 'Seed, do not grow,' it will still grow. In the future, evil kings and barbarians will arise, and even if the various people belonging to their side do not understand the Dharma and the qualities of the Buddha, when they see the stupas and images of the Tathagata, if their minds become clear, it is because they previously had a connection with the Buddha through the four means of gathering, therefore their minds

我已获得。据说,清净之心的善根之果将成为涅槃。如来往昔行菩萨行时,供养无量如来,依止善知识并如教奉行,以摄受众生之事物摄受,以不可思议的各种善根之力,获得金刚般的不可摧毁之身。纵然山王须弥山和广大周围的一切变得如金刚般坚硬,也不能损毁或拔取如来完全涅槃后的一根头发。然而,如来以对众生的慈悲和往昔的愿力,将舍利加持成芥子般大小,以此利益所化众生。供养和敬奉那些舍利,也将成为涅槃之果。更何况是敬奉真实住世的佛陀和供养舍利呢?如果有人甚至在梦中见到如来的佛塔而心生欢喜,那么那个善根也将最终达到涅槃。又,供养佛陀是完全无尽和究竟的。以缘佛之心向虚空抛掷一朵花,那个善根甚至佛陀的智慧也难以衡量或显示。如果完全考察,那个众生在先前无始的劫中流转,即使流转,那个善根的异熟也难以用梵天或帝释天或转轮王的王位来穷尽,而是趋向涅槃,最终将达到涅槃。因此,无论种姓之子或种姓之女,想要获得转轮王或梵天或帝释天,或四大天王,或天、龙、夜叉等一切世间的主宰,或者想要获得声闻和独觉,以及无上菩提,都应

I have obtained it. It is said that the fruit of the root of virtue of a pure mind will become nirvana. When the Tathagata previously practiced the conduct of a Bodhisattva, he made offerings to immeasurable Tathagatas, relied on virtuous friends and acted according to their instructions, gathered beings with the objects of gathering, and by the power of perfecting various inconceivable roots of virtue, he obtained an indestructible body like a vajra. Even if the king of mountains, Mount Sumeru, and the vast surroundings were to become as hard as a vajra, they could not harm or pluck even a single hair of the fully nirvanized Tathagata. However, the Tathagata, out of compassion for beings and the power of previous aspirations, blessed the relics to be as small as mustard seeds, thereby benefiting the beings to be tamed. Offering and venerating those relics will also become the fruit of nirvana. What need is there to mention venerating the Buddha who is actually dwelling in the world and making offerings to relics? If someone even sees a stupa of the Tathagata in a dream and their mind is pleased, then that root of virtue will also ultimately reach nirvana. Furthermore, offering to the Buddha is completely inexhaustible and ultimate. If one throws a single flower into the sky with a mind focused on the Buddha, that root of virtue is not easily measured or shown even by the wisdom of the Buddha. If one fully examines it, even if that being wanders and transmigrates in as many previous beginningless eons, the maturation of that root of virtue is not easily exhausted by the kingship of Brahma or Indra or a universal monarch, but rather it inclines towards nirvana and will ultimately attain nirvana. Therefore, whether a son or daughter of good family, desiring to obtain the dominion of a universal monarch, or Brahma, or Indra, or the Four Great Kings, or all the worlds of gods, nagas, yakshas, etc., or desiring to obtain the Hearers and Solitary Buddhas, and unsurpassed enlightenment, should

应当尊重、服侍和供养。 并且,世尊对阿难陀说:我获得菩提的功德利益且不说,我行菩萨行时所产生的功德之法,即使是声闻缘觉也没有,更何况其他的众生呢?行菩萨行时,舍弃王位、儿女、妻子、自己的生命、血肉、骨骼等,无数难以忍受的痛苦,说起来也难以置信,所有这些都是为了你们这些众生啊。听到这些,如果有人这样想:如来为了我们而行持了极难之事。即使是普通的孩童,如果生起一句四字偈的慈悲心,其果报就是涅槃。 并且,如来的种姓、血统、形貌、名称、相好、力量、无畏,以及往昔菩萨时期的圆满修行,愿望、波罗蜜多、戒律等的集合,大慈悲等等,以及通过行为等方式忆念,以这些方式,就会变得神通广大、光辉灿烂、广阔无边,与甘露相似,被甘露覆盖,被甘露所穷尽。一切有生者都会死亡,一切有为法都是无常的,所以要对善法方面的事情保持谨慎。 并且,阿难陀,忆念如来,发出叹息,毛发竖立,因佛法的力量而流泪的众生,不会堕入一切恶道。因此,要努力保持谨慎。诸佛世尊的菩提,以及其他一切善根,都是通过谨慎而获得的。 如《佛力生起幻化网经》中所说: 犹如世间明灯众, 逝后 বহু 劫数中, 为利有情诸众生, 大雄勇士住于此。 并且,如月亮的坛城一般, 就像变魔术一样。 来和去也是, 如来

They should be respected, served, and offered to. Furthermore, the Blessed One said to Ananda: Let alone the benefits of the qualities I have attained upon achieving enlightenment, even the qualities that arose when I practiced the conduct of a Bodhisattva are not present even in Hearers and Solitary Realizers, so what need is there to mention other sentient beings? When practicing the conduct of a Bodhisattva, relinquishing kingdoms, sons, daughters, wives, one's own life, flesh, bones, and so forth, the unbearable suffering of many, which is difficult to believe even when spoken of, all of these are for the sake of you sentient beings. Having heard such, if one thinks, "The Thus-Gone One practiced extreme hardships for our sake," even if ordinary children generate compassion with a single four-word verse, its result is nirvana. Furthermore, the Thus-Gone One's lineage, clan, form, name, marks and signs, powers, fearlessnesses, and the complete practices of the past Bodhisattva times, the accumulation of aspirations, perfections, discipline, and so forth, great love, and so forth, and by remembering through conduct and so forth, by those various means, one becomes greatly miraculous, greatly glorious, vast, like nectar, covered with nectar, and exhausted by nectar. All beings die, and all compounded things are impermanent, so be mindful of the aspects of virtuous qualities. Furthermore, Ananda, those sentient beings who, upon remembering the Thus-Gone One, sigh, have their hair stand on end, and shed tears due to the power of the Dharma, will not go to all the wrongdoings. Therefore, strive to be mindful. The enlightenment of the Buddhas, the Blessed Ones, and all other roots of virtue are attained through mindfulness. As it is said in the Sutra on the Display of Miraculous Transformations of the Power of the Buddha: Just as the lamps of the world, After passing through many eons, For the benefit of sentient beings, The great hero dwells here. Furthermore, like the mandala of the moon, Like performing magic. Coming and going also, The Thus-Gone One
