这样做之后,那些菩萨们出去没多久,娑罗树洞也恢复如初了。四大洲中,名为释天迦尸迦的天人寿命将尽,害怕堕落到畜生道。于是,他和三十二天的八万四千天子一同进入娑罗树洞,坐在洞的周围。世尊以神力使他心想:如果我祈请乐神之子五顶,以他美妙的歌声公开赞颂世尊,那时世尊就会从禅定中起身。这样想着,他就祈请了乐神之子五顶。乐神之子也以世尊的神力,拿起乐神的琵琶,用美妙的歌声和音乐,以五百颂赞颂世尊。他开始赞颂时,世尊进入名为妙音普现顶的禅定。由于这个禅定,在娑婆世界中,那些具有大神通的夜叉、罗刹、阿修罗、迦楼罗、紧那罗、大腹行、乐神,以及在欲界和色界中活动的天子们都聚集在那里。那些信仰歌声的人,听到歌声后非常高兴。那些喜欢赞颂和美妙声音的人,听到世尊的赞颂后,生起了极大的欢喜和恭敬。那些喜欢笛声的人,听到笛声后非常高兴。之后,世尊从禅定中起身,看着娑罗树洞的门口。释天走近问道:我该去哪里?世尊回答说:让所有来的夜叉都坐下。之后,娑罗树洞里坐满了相当于十二条恒河沙数的夜叉,娑罗树洞变得非常宽广。如来为那些眷属开示佛法。眷属中,凡是声闻乘的行者,都听到了声闻乘的教法。其中有九亿俱胝和九千万俱胝人

Having done this, before those Bodhisattvas had been gone long, the Sal tree cave returned to its former state. In those four continents, the one called Indra Kashi, fearing that his life would end and he would be born in the animal realm, together with eighty-four thousand sons of the thirty-three gods, entered that Sal tree cave and sat around the perimeter of the cave. By the power of the Blessed One, he thought to himself, 'If I were to request the Gandharva's son, Five-Crested, and if with his melodious voice he were to manifestly praise the Blessed One, then the Blessed One would arise from his samadhi.' Thinking thus, he requested the Gandharva's son, Five-Crested. By the power of the Blessed One, he also took up the Gandharva's lute, and with pleasing sounds of song and music, he praised the Blessed One with five hundred verses of praise. As he began to praise, the Blessed One entered into the samadhi called 'Melodious Sound Manifesting Completely.' Because of that samadhi, in the world realm of Saha, all those powerful yakshas, rakshasas, asuras, garudas, kinnaras, mahoragas, gandharvas, and all the sons of the gods who dwell in the desire and form realms gathered there. Those who had faith in song, having heard the song, became exceedingly pleased. Those who delighted in praise and melody, having heard the praise of the Blessed One, developed intense joy and reverence. Those who delighted in the sound of the flute, having heard the sound of the flute, became exceedingly pleased. Then, the Blessed One arose from that samadhi and looked at the entrance of the Sal tree cave. Indra approached and asked, 'Where should I go?' He replied, 'Let all the yakshas who have come sit down.' Then, the Sal tree cave was filled with yakshas as numerous as the sands of twelve Ganges Rivers, and the Sal tree cave became vast. The Thus-Gone One taught the Dharma to those assemblies. In that assembly, those who were followers of the Hearer Vehicle heard the teachings of the Hearer Vehicle. Among them, ninety million kotis and ninety million kotis

获得了进入的果实。那个眷属中,凡是大乘的行者,就只听闻大乘的言论。在那里,以乾闼婆之子五顶等为首的一百八十万俱胝,都安住于不退转于无上圆满菩提。那些没有发起三乘之心的人中,有些发起了无上菩提之心,有些发起了声闻之心,有些发起了独觉佛之心。释提桓因迦尸迦也从怖畏中完全解脱,寿命延长至千岁,安住于不退转于无上圆满菩提。种姓之子,如来释迦牟尼就是这样机会广阔。如来的音声坛城也是这样广大,他的音声坛城的边际是谁也无法测量的。同样,他使众生完全成熟的方便善巧也广大,他的边际是谁也无法测量的。如来的身体也广大,他的顶髻或身体的边际是谁也无法测量的。如果这个娑婆世界的佛土,聚集了如此众多的有情,全部都进入如来的体内,并在那里行走,或者进入并出现于如来的一个毛孔中,即使是天眼,也无法测量如来一个毛孔的边际是减少还是充满,如是身体广大。此外,如来释迦牟尼具有广大的佛土,就像十方佛土恒河沙数一样。例如,现在就像他的娑婆世界佛土一样,如果所有被有情充满的有情都进入娑婆世界佛土,也全部可以在那里行走。那是因为什么呢?因为如来最初发起无上菩提心时,发了那样的愿。种姓之子们,世界的界。

The fruit of entering was obtained. In that assembly, whoever was a Mahayana practitioner heard only the words of the Mahayana. There, eighteen million kotis, including the son of a Gandharva, Five Crests, and others, were established in non-retrogression from unexcelled perfect enlightenment. Among those who had not generated the mind in the three vehicles, some generated the mind in unexcelled enlightenment, some in the Hearer vehicle, and some in the Pratyekabuddha vehicle. Indra Kausika also became completely liberated from fear, his lifespan extended to a thousand years, and he was established in non-retrogression from unexcelled perfect enlightenment. Son of good family, the Tathagata Shakyamuni is thus so vast in opportunity. The mandala of the Tathagata's voice is also so vast, that the limit of his voice mandala cannot be measured by anyone. Similarly, his skillful means of completely maturing beings is also vast, and its limit cannot be measured by anyone. The body of the Tathagata is also vast, and his crown protuberance or the limit of his body cannot be measured by anyone. If this Buddha-field of Saha were to gather as many sentient beings as there are, all of them would enter into the body of the Tathagata and walk there, or even if they were to enter and emerge from a single pore of the Tathagata, even with the divine eye, they would not be able to measure whether the limit of that single pore of the Tathagata is decreasing or filling up; thus, the body is vast. Furthermore, the Tathagata Shakyamuni possesses a vast Buddha-field, just like the Buddha-fields of the ten directions, as numerous as the sands of the Ganges. For example, just as his Buddha-field of Saha is now, even if all the sentient beings who are filled with sentient beings were to enter the Buddha-field of Saha, they would all be able to walk there. Why is that? Because when the Tathagata first generated the mind of unexcelled enlightenment, he made such a prayer. Sons of good family, the realm of the world.

更不用说一条恒河的沙子了。成千上万条恒河的沙子那样广大。例如,就像现在,如同佛的刹土娑婆世界一样,如果所有被众生完全充满的众生都进入娑婆世界,所有那些广大的众生都会在那里游行。善男子们,如来最初发起菩提心时,为了获得无上智慧而发了这样的愿,所以,如来才具有如此广大的刹土。如来释迦牟尼佛以刚才所说的四种法,超越其他的如来。善男子们,拿走这朵美丽的月亮花,到西方凭你的神通所见的佛刹娑婆世界去。用我的话问候如来释迦牟尼佛,是否安好,是否快乐。就这样,如来无垢光荣功德王派遣菩萨秘密宣告和菩萨光明光芒作为使者,与两万菩萨一起,以如来的神变,在一瞬间,从莲花遍布的世界超越,到达这个娑婆世界,禀告了所发生的一切。同样,从极乐世界,不动佛的宝座摇动等等,如前所述。那个刹土的菩萨们,以及其他从东方诸佛处派遣来的无数菩萨作为使者。东方诸佛的名号和佛刹完全宣说完毕之后,世尊释迦牟尼佛说:从这里向南方,在远离一切忧伤的世界里,名为如来无忧吉祥的那位,也是我最初发起菩提心并投入实践的等等,宣说佛的名号和刹土时,南方无数无量的佛的宝座摇动,许多菩萨被派遣为使者。

Not to mention the sand of one Ganges River. So vast are the sands of a thousand Ganges Rivers. For example, just as now, like the Buddha-field of this Sahā world, if all the beings who are completely filled with sentient beings were to enter the Sahā world, all those vast beings would wander there. Sons of good family, when the Tathāgata first generated the mind of enlightenment, he made such a prayer in order to attain unsurpassed wisdom, so the Tathāgata possesses such a vast field. The Tathāgata Śākyamuni surpasses other Tathāgatas by those four dharmas just mentioned. Sons of good family, take this beautiful moon flower and go to the Buddha-field of the Sahā world in the west, as you see it by your power. With my words, inquire after the health of the Tathāgata Śākyamuni, whether he is well and happy. Thus, the Tathāgata Immaculate Glory Qualities King sent the Bodhisattva Secret Proclamation and the Bodhisattva Light Rays as messengers, together with twenty thousand Bodhisattvas, by the magical power of the Tathāgata, in a single moment of thought, transcending from the world of Fully Blossomed Flowers, they arrived in this Sahā world and reported all that had happened. Similarly, from the Land of Supreme Joy, the shaking of the seat of the Buddha Akṣobhya, etc., as mentioned before. The Bodhisattvas of that field, and other immeasurable Bodhisattvas sent as messengers from the presence of the Buddhas of the east. As soon as the names of the Buddhas of the east and the Buddha-fields were completely proclaimed, the Bhagavan Śākyamuni said: From here to the south, in the world free from all sorrow, the one called the Tathāgata Free from Sorrow Glory, I also first generated the mind of enlightenment and entered into practice, etc., when proclaiming the names of the Buddhas and the fields, the seats of countless immeasurable Buddhas of the south shook, and many Bodhisattvas were sent as messengers.

像之前一样发生了震动等事。结束后,世尊说道:我从这里往西方的名为“智慧寂静”的佛土中,有如来名为“珍宝山”等等,宣说了许多佛的名号和佛土。所有这些,我最初都让他们进入菩提,安置于菩提行中。说完后,那些佛的座位震动,无量菩萨为了供养和侍奉佛而来到此地,如前所述。同样,从北方、上方、下方、东方、南方等直到东北方,宣说了佛的名号和佛土。例如,从这个佛土往东北方向,经过九十八俱胝千亿的佛土后,有一个名为“遍胜”的佛土,其中有如来名为“无伞盖殊胜显现多闻子娑罗王”。我也是最初让他进入无上菩提,安置于六度中,并获得了无上圆满菩提的授记。像这样宣说了佛的名号,那些佛的座位震动,直到派遣菩萨,都如前所述。总之,从十方诸佛处,无量菩萨来到此地。那些佛土的诸佛献上鲜花并问候病情,并传话说:如来释迦牟尼是我们的善知识,我们最初进入菩提,安置于六度中,并获得授记,现在成佛后为众生说法。这样,从十方来的无量菩萨聚集之时,如来释迦牟尼以神通力,使娑婆世界聚集的所有众生,每一个的身体都变得像一个俱卢舍那么大,以至于这个佛土的地面和虚空中,没有一处不被这样的众生所占据,但所有众生都只看到如来释迦牟尼。

Tremors and other events occurred as before. After that, the Blessed One said, "From here to the west, in a Buddha-field called 'Wisdom's Tranquility,' there is a Tathagata named 'Jewel Mountain,'" and proclaimed the names and fields of many Buddhas. "All of them were first entered into Bodhi by me, and placed in the practice of Bodhi." When he said this, the seats of those Buddhas shook, and immeasurable Bodhisattvas came to this field to worship and serve the Buddha, as before. Similarly, from the north, above, below, east, south, and so on, up to the northeast, the names and fields of the Buddhas were proclaimed. For example, "From this Buddha-field to the northeast, after passing ninety-eight kotis of trillion billion Buddha-fields, there is a Buddha-field called 'Perfect Victory,' where the Tathagata 'Uncovered, Manifestly Excellent, Son of Vaishravana, King of Sala' resides. I was the first to enter him into unsurpassed Bodhi, place him in the six perfections, and he received the prediction of unsurpassed perfect enlightenment." Like that, when the names of the Buddhas were proclaimed, their seats shook, and up to the sending of Bodhisattvas, it was as mentioned before. In short, from the presence of immeasurable Buddhas in the ten directions, immeasurable Bodhisattvas came to this field. The Buddhas of those fields offered flowers and inquired about his health, and sent the message, "The Tathagata Shakyamuni is our spiritual friend. We were first entered into Bodhi and placed in the perfections, and having received the prediction, he is now teaching the Dharma to sentient beings as a Buddha." Thus, when immeasurable Bodhisattvas from the ten directions gathered, the Tathagata Shakyamuni, through his miraculous power, caused the body of each of the sentient beings gathered in this world to become the size of a krosha, so that there was no place on the ground or in the sky of this field that was not filled with such beings, yet all sentient beings only saw the Tathagata Shakyamuni.

仅仅是看见空旷的天空,彼此都看不见。在他们的视线中,须弥山和周围环境等其他任何事物都没有显现。那时,如来释迦牟尼进入名为“遍空法界极清净”的禅定,那些月亮般美丽无垢的鲜花,也都进入了世尊身体的所有毛孔中。凡是属于这个娑婆世界的众生,都看见了。那些众生的心和心所,也脱离了对色法的普遍观察,而专注于世尊的毛孔。在那里,就像极乐世界的花园一样,装饰着各种珍宝树木、各种果实花朵、各种丝绸装饰品、衣服、伞盖、幢幡、臂钏和各种珍珠串。当他们看见这些时,众生们心想:我们去参观那个花园吧。除了地狱众生、阎罗世界、畜生道的众生和无色界的众生之外,所有其余属于娑婆世界的众生,都从如来的毛孔进入了毛孔之中。然后,世尊收回了那些神通,起身站立。之后,众生们彼此看见,说道:如来释迦牟尼在哪里?慈氏菩萨说道:诸位众生,请仔细想想,我们都进入了如来的身体之中。然后,那些众生看见了如来的身体内外,并且各自亲眼看见自己是如何进入如来的身体之中聚集在一起的,他们心想:我们是从哪里进入如来的身体之中的?是谁把我们带到这里来的?然后,慈氏菩萨用声音清楚地告诉所有具足的眷属们:
