Whoever is completely extinguished by the unsurpassed extinction. Then, the Tathagata Jewel Heart, with the palm of his right hand, stroked the head of the Bodhisattva Great Compassionate One and said: Noble man, your aspiration is good, excellent, and thoroughly established, well done, well done. Noble man, you will nourish sentient beings with the red robe that possesses five noble qualities. Thus, the Tathagata stroked his head with his hand, prophesied, and gave praise, the Bodhisattva Great Compassionate One rejoiced and generated great faith, becoming as young as a youth of about twenty years old. All the complete retinue, as well as gods and gandharvas, etc., also made offerings to the Bodhisattva Great Compassionate One, offering flowers and music, and praising with praises and various verses, sitting with palms joined. Then, the Bodhisattva Great Compassionate One prostrated to the Tathagata Jewel Heart, and asked about the path of the Bodhisattvas, the door of Samadhi, and the categories of Dharma of the door of complete purification of the assembly. The Tathagata taught the categories of Dharma of Samadhi and the door of the assembly, and the Bodhisattva accomplished inconceivable benefits. Then, the Bodhisattva Great Compassionate One became the attendant of the Tathagata. King Ambrosia Pure also, together with a thousand sons and eighty thousand regional kings, and other ninety-two kotis of beings, renounced the world and diligently practiced discipline, learning, and Samadhi. The Bodhisattva Great Compassionate One also gradually heard from the Tathagata eighty-four thousand aggregates of Dharma of the Hearer Vehicle, and ninety thousand aggregates of Dharma of the Solitary Buddha Vehicle, and also for the Great Vehicle of unsurpassed Bodhi, there were one hundred thousand aggregates of Dharma, such as the discourse on mindfulness of the body.

一直到第十一,受持并领受教诲,阅读并完全理解。另一个时候,如来宝心进入无余涅槃界,完全寂灭。具有大悲心的菩萨用音乐、鲜花、粉末和无数种珍宝等供养,用各种香水沐浴,建造了用七宝制成的舍利塔,高五百由旬,宽半由旬。七天之中,用各种供品供养,并在那里使无数众生正确地接受三乘。七天过去后,与八万四千生灵一起出家,使如来的教法兴盛。持守正法一万年,使无数众生接受三乘,并安置于皈依和居士等戒律,以及神通和神变等之中。当那位菩萨面临死亡时,那些众生也供养那位大修行者的骨灰,就像供养转轮王的骨灰一样。当具有大悲心的修行者去世的那一天,如来宝心的正法也隐没了。那个佛土的其他大菩萨们,由于愿力的作用,在其他不同的世界中受生。具有大悲心的修行者去世后,由于愿力的作用,从这个佛土向南经过十万佛土,到达名为“真实竞赛”的世界,那里的人们寿命八十岁。那里充满了具有不善根、残暴、双手沾满鲜血、执着于罪恶、不敬父母、对一切众生没有慈爱、不畏惧来世的人们,他投生于旃陀罗种姓,身体非常高大,具有强大的力量,非常聪明、勇敢、敏捷。

He held and received teachings up to the eleventh, reading and fully understanding everything. At another time, the Tathagata Jewel Heart completely passed into the realm of nirvana without residue. The Bodhisattva, endowed with great compassion, made offerings of musical sounds, flowers, powders, and countless kinds of precious jewels, and washed the relics with various fragrant waters. He built a stupa made of the seven precious materials, five hundred yojanas in height and half a yojana in width. For seven days, he made offerings with various offerings, and there he caused countless beings to correctly embrace the three vehicles. After those seven days had passed, he ordained together with eighty-four thousand living beings, causing the teachings of the Tathagata to flourish. He upheld the sacred Dharma for ten thousand years, causing countless beings to embrace the three vehicles, and established them in the precepts of refuge and lay vows, as well as in clairvoyance and miraculous powers. When that Bodhisattva faced the time of death, those beings also venerated the relics of that great ascetic, just as they would venerate the relics of a Chakravartin king. On the day when the ascetic endowed with great compassion passed away, the sacred Dharma of the Tathagata Jewel Heart also declined. The other great Bodhisattvas of that Buddha-field, due to the power of their aspirations, took rebirth in other different worlds. The ascetic endowed with great compassion, after passing away, due to the power of his aspirations, from this Buddha-field, passing ten thousand kotis of Buddha-fields to the south, arrived in the world called "True Competition," where people live to be eighty years old. That place was filled with people who possessed unwholesome roots, were violent, had hands stained with blood, were attached to sin, did not respect their parents, had no love for all beings, and feared not the next world. He was born into a Chandala caste, with a very tall body, endowed with great strength, and was very intelligent, brave, and swift.

变成那样之后,以他的力量牢固地抓住众生说道: 喂,众生们,如果你们能舍弃杀生等邪见,我将给予你们生命,也给予你们生活的资具。 如果不舍弃,我就与你们的生命分离而去。 他们合掌说道: 怙主,以您的话语,我们尽生存期间将舍弃杀生等十不善。 那个强大的贱民走后,告诫国王和国王所统治的人们: 我需要食物、饮料、衣服、卧具,以及黄金、珍宝、珍珠等等作为生活的资具,请供养我许多生活的资具。 他尽生存期间安置人们于十善,因此人们能活到五百岁。 之后,那个国王去世后,国王的臣子们将那个强大的贱民立为国王,变成了国王福德力。 他不久之后就统治了那个地方,以坚定的精进和严厉统治了第二个地方。 不久之后,他变成了整个赡部洲以力量统治的转轮王,安置众生于十善,并按照各自的想法安置于三乘,向四面八方宣告布施。 在那里,向所有聚集的赡部洲众生给予各种布施。 之后,一个名叫养命尘音的人走到国王面前说道: 您为了无上菩提而行布施,如果能圆满我的心愿,您将成为胜者世间的明灯。 国王说道: 你想要什么? 养命者说: 我想要持有能彻底摧毁非天大战争的明咒,为了成办详细的仪轨,我也想要活人的皮肤,也想要眼睛,为此向您祈请。 之后,国王心想: 我获得了力量转轮王的地位,将无数众生安置于十善道,并确定地安置于三乘,布施也无法估量。

Having become like that, with his power, he firmly seized the beings and said: "Hey, beings, if you abandon killing and so forth, up to wrong views, I will give you life, and also give you the necessities of life. If you do not abandon them, I will separate from your lives and leave." They joined their palms and said: "Protector, by your words, we will abandon killing and the ten non-virtues for as long as we live." That powerful outcaste went and exhorted the king and those ruled by the king: "I need food, drink, clothing, bedding, and gold, jewels, pearls, and so forth as necessities of life, please offer me many necessities of life." He established people in the ten virtues for as long as he lived, so people lived to be five hundred years old. Then, when that king died, the king's ministers enthroned that powerful outcaste as king, and he became King Sonam Tob (King of Merit and Power). Before long, he ruled that land, and with steadfast diligence and severity, he also ruled the second land. Before long, he became a wheel-turning king of power throughout Jambudvipa, establishing beings in the ten virtues, and also establishing them in the three vehicles according to their own thoughts, proclaiming generosity in all directions. There, he gave various kinds of generosity to all the assembled beings of Jambudvipa. Then, a livelihood provider named Dhulayang (Dust Sound) went to the king and said: "You give generosity for the sake of unsurpassed enlightenment, and if you fulfill my wish, you will become the victorious lamp of the world." The king said: "What do you want?" The livelihood provider said: "I want to hold the knowledge-mantra that utterly destroys the great war of the Asuras, and in order to accomplish the detailed ritual, I also want the skin of a living person, and I also want eyes, so I beseech you." Then the king thought: "I have obtained the position of a wheel-turning king of power, and have established countless beings on the path of the ten virtues, and have definitely placed them in the three vehicles, and generosity is also immeasurable."

给予之后,现在为了在这无意义的身体上获取意义,我心想此乃我的善知识,于是这样说道:我将把这普通的肉眼给予你,请高兴地接受吧!愿我因此获得无上的法眼!我将以极其欢喜的心情把自己的皮肤也给予你,愿我因此获得无上圆满的菩提!然后,那位国王用右手献出自己的双眼,脸上沾满鲜血,说道:凡是来到这里的人,以及居住在天空和大地上的天神、夜叉等,还有所有的人,请听我说!我以布施回向菩提的善根,如果获得寂静的果位,愿一切众生从轮回的苦海中解脱,并安置于无上的寂静涅槃!如果我能获得无上菩提,那么在这个修行者没有成就明咒之前,愿我的生命力不衰竭,记忆不丧失,也不要后悔!把国王的皮肤也拿走吧!说完,那个尘土梵志用锋利的刀从身上剥下皮肤拿走了,并修持明咒。就这样过了七天,国王以福德的力量,生命力没有衰竭,记忆没有丧失,也没有感受到痛苦,甚至连一瞬间的后悔都没有产生。释迦牟尼佛说道:我那时在那时,就是如来宝藏之父,名为海尘的婆罗门,具有大慈悲心,我发起无上圆满菩提心的最初就是那次。我最初发起菩提心,使无数众生进入圆满菩提,我所做的勇敢之举和勇敢之事最初就是那次。我以愿力的力量,从那之后去世,转生到清净的佛土,在旃陀罗种姓中出生的时候,使众生行善,并通过力量和精进而获得了力量的转轮王,从而使赡部洲的一切争斗烦恼都彻底平息。

After giving, now, in order to obtain meaning in this meaningless body, I thought, 'This is my virtuous friend,' and said this: 'I will give you these ordinary flesh eyes, please be happy to receive them! May I obtain the unsurpassed Dharma eye through this! I will also give you my own skin with an extremely joyful mind, may I obtain unsurpassed perfect enlightenment through this!' Then, that king offered his own two eyes with his right hand, his face covered in blood, and said: 'Whoever has come here, and the gods and yakshas, etc., who dwell in the sky and on the earth, and all people, listen to me! By the virtue of my giving dedicated to enlightenment, if I obtain the state of peace, may all sentient beings be liberated from the ocean of samsara and placed in the unsurpassed peaceful nirvana! If I am to attain unsurpassed enlightenment, then until this practitioner has accomplished that mantra, may my life force not weaken, may my memory not fail, and may I not regret it! Take the king's skin too!' Having said this, that Dust Ascetic peeled off the skin from his body with a sharp knife and took it away, and practiced the mantra. Thus, for seven days, the king's life force did not weaken due to the power of merit, his memory did not fail, he did not experience the feeling of suffering, and not even for a moment did regret arise. Shakyamuni Buddha said: 'At that time, at that time, I was the father of the Tathagata Jewel Essence, the Brahmin named Ocean Dust, who possessed great compassion, and that was the first time I generated the mind of unsurpassed perfect enlightenment. I first generated the mind of enlightenment, causing countless sentient beings to enter perfect enlightenment, and that was the first time I did a brave deed and a brave act. By the power of my aspiration, after dying from that, I was born into the Chandala caste in the pure Buddha-field, at that time, I caused sentient beings to engage in virtue, and through strength and diligence, I obtained the wheel-turning king of power, thereby completely pacifying all the strife and troubles in Jambudvipa.'

也做了,寿命也延长了,我最初完全布施身体,那是我英勇的事物和英勇的第二件事。像那样我完全布施眼睛和皮肤之后,然后死后转移,在那净土的第二个洲,出生于贱民种姓,像之前一样精进稳固且驯服,使众生行于善业,获得力量的转轮王。在那些洲中,争斗、怨恨、后悔都平息了,寿命也延长了,在那里也从自己的身体中完全布施舌头和耳朵,在那清净的净土,也在所有大千世界洲之间做了那样的丈夫的才能。精进稳固且以祈愿的威力,在具足五浊的如来刹土,如恒河沙数的地方,也使众生行于清净,安置于执持三乘,以及平息争斗等烦恼的丈夫的才能也那样做了。其他如来的清净刹土是以此因成就的,那些菩萨在行菩萨行时,不谈论其他的堕落,也不向他人显示恐怖,也不让众生执持声闻缘觉的乘,那些究竟圆满了意,在成佛的刹土中,连堕落的名字也没有,没有受持学处,也没有粗暴的语言,也没有不善的声音,完全是清净的,其他地方则遍布着法的声音和没有不悦意的声音。在那里众生也如自己所愿地行事,在那里也没有安立声闻缘觉的乘。我无论何时在恒河沙数的大劫中,在具足五浊的如来刹土,空无如来安住,在恒河沙数的地方,以粗暴的语言和恐怖使众生断除杀生等十善业,也安置于执持三乘,那样的详细叙述的业的余势,现在我具足烦恼且遍布不善的声音,以及被具足不善根的众生完全充满的这样的刹土中宣说三乘之法,我
