Having made the form of the Sugatas, and employing artisans to make beautiful clay images, all those will attain enlightenment. Whoever draws images of the form on the wall, draws the body fully endowed with a hundred marks of merit, whether I draw it myself or have it drawn by others, all those will attain enlightenment. Whether they are men or even youths, when some of them are learning, or when they are playing and rejoicing, drawing images on the wall with fingernails or twigs, all those will attain enlightenment, all those will become compassionate, and all will liberate billions of beings, and will also establish many Bodhisattvas. For the relics of the Tathagatas, or clay images and stupas, or drawing on the wall, or on a mound stupa, offering flowers and incense to it, there, whoever makes the sound of a very melodious cymbal, blows a conch shell and beats a large drum, for the sake of offering the supreme enlightenment, those who beat various drums, as well as the lute, the panpipe, the Kharava drum, the pottery drum, the single-stringed instrument, the pleasing flute, and the Ekona, emitting a very melodious sound, all those will attain enlightenment. For the sake of offering to the Sugatas, whoever has iron cymbals struck, or strikes the water, or claps the hands, or sings a pleasing and melodious song, and offers those relics in various ways, all those will become Buddhas of the world. For the relics of the Sugatas, even a slight sound of a single cymbal being struck, or offering with just one flower, or drawing an image of the Sugatas on the wall, even if offering with a distracted mind, they will gradually see billions of Buddhas. Whoever joins the palms to the stupas, whether fully joined or with one palm, or even bows the head for a moment, or likewise bows the body once, for those places where relics are kept, even saying a single word "I prostrate to the Buddha" with a distracted mind, all those will attain this supreme enlightenment. At that time, those Sugatas will

无论是已经寂灭还是仍然安住，任何众生听闻此法之名，彼等一切都将获得菩提。并且，此法之规律恒常存在，此法之自性恒常光明。二足尊胜的诸佛知晓后，将宣说我之一乘。并且，天人供养的诸佛，安住于十方，数量如恒河沙。为了此间一切众生的安乐，彼等也宣说此殊胜之乘。于寂静之殊胜处成佛后，以善巧方便而极善宣说，显明宣说各种不同的乘，也完全宣说唯一之乘。通晓一切有情的行为，以及他们先前修习和思虑的内容，也知晓他们的能力和精进。知晓极度的信心后，极善宣说。以引导之智慧力量，详细阐述众多原因，譬喻和基础。由于众生有各种不同的意乐，因此示现各种不同的成就方法。像这样，宣说一乘之法如此难得。经中说：偶尔在何处，以何因缘，世间会出现殊胜之人？即使出现无量名号之世界，也偶尔会宣说如此之法。即使在百千俱胝劫中，也难以获得如此殊胜之法。那些听闻殊胜之法后产生信心的人，如此之众生极其难得。犹如优昙婆罗花难以获得一样，偶尔以何因缘显现时，其形象令人心悦，令天人世间都感到惊奇。因此，无论谁听闻此善说之法，即使随喜说一句，也显示出极其稀有，因为他将供养一切诸佛。对此，请抛弃怀疑和犹豫。我，法王，已经全部宣说，请真实受持此殊胜菩提。此处我没有任何声闻弟子。舍利子，你以大秘密，与我的一切声闻弟子，以及主要的菩萨们，共同守护我的这个大秘密。

Whether they have passed away or are still dwelling, any sentient being who hears the name of this Dharma, all of them will attain enlightenment. Moreover, this Dharma's principle is eternally abiding, and this Dharma's nature is eternally radiant. The supreme two-legged ones, the Buddhas, knowing this, will declare my One Vehicle. Furthermore, the Buddhas who are worshipped by gods and humans, dwelling in the ten directions, as numerous as the sands of the Ganges, for the sake of the happiness of all beings here, they also expound this supreme Vehicle. Having attained Buddhahood in this supreme place of peace, they skillfully and excellently proclaim, manifestly explaining various different Vehicles, and also completely expound the One Vehicle. Knowing the conduct of all embodied beings, as well as what they have previously cultivated and contemplated, they also know their abilities and diligence. Knowing their profound faith, they excellently proclaim. With the power of guiding wisdom, they elaborately explain many causes, examples, and foundations. Because sentient beings have various inclinations, they closely demonstrate various methods of accomplishment. Like this, it is rare for the Dharma of the One Vehicle to be taught. As it says in the sutra: Occasionally, where and by what cause will excellent beings appear in the world? Even if a world with countless names appears, it is rare for such a Dharma to be taught. Even in hundreds of thousands of billions of kalpas, it is difficult to find such a supreme Dharma. Those who hear the supreme Dharma and develop faith, such sentient beings are extremely rare. Just as it is difficult to find an Udumbara flower, occasionally when it appears by what cause, its form is pleasing to the mind of beings, and it becomes wondrous to the worlds including gods. Therefore, whoever hears this well-spoken Dharma, even if they rejoice and speak a single word, it is shown to be extremely marvelous, because they will be offering to all the Buddhas. Therefore, abandon all doubt and hesitation about this. I, the Dharma King, have fully proclaimed it, please truly uphold this supreme enlightenment. Here, I have no Shravaka disciples. Shariputra, with this great secret, together with all my Shravaka disciples, and these principal Bodhisattvas, guard this great secret of mine.

做。为什么呢？因为五浊恶世之时，出现凶暴的恶劣众生，心智幼稚，被欲望蒙蔽，那些人也不会生起菩提心。听闻如来说此唯一乘，过去世已宣说，未来世众生将沉醉，舍弃经典，众生将堕入地狱。哪些众生谨慎节制，哪些众生进入殊胜的菩提，对他们不要有恐惧，宣说唯一乘的无量赞颂。引导者们如此宣说，善巧方便的殊胜者，巧妙的言辞宣说众多，这是未经学习者难以理解的。因此，世间导师佛陀的救护方便，以智慧断除疑惑，舍弃犹豫，成为佛陀，生起极大欢喜。如是说。世尊，具寿大迦叶对世尊如是禀告。世尊，如果众生有不同的意乐，从三界产生，他们的涅槃是一个、两个还是三个？世尊开示说：迦叶，因为通达一切法平等性而证得涅槃，所以那是一个，不是两个，也不是三个。如是说。诸法皆空且平等，无有差别，即是自性。对他们来说，即是鲜花，如果什么法都不可见，那么法的法身，将被大智慧所见。不会有三种乘，这里只有一种乘。诸法皆平等，一切也平等，平等且均衡，恒常平等。如是了知寂灭之理，便知不死的涅槃。如是说。此《妙法莲华经》过去曾从如来处亲闻，甚至听闻一偈，对此经生起一念随喜，都将被授记成佛。如来圆寂后，听闻此法门，甚至听闻一偈，仅生起一念随喜的善男子善女子，我都将为他们授记无上菩提。

Do. Why is that? Because in the age of the five degenerations, when evil and violent beings arise, those with childish minds, blinded by desire, will not generate the mind of enlightenment. Having heard that this single vehicle was spoken by the Victorious One in past ages, in the future, beings will become intoxicated and, abandoning the sutras, will go to hell. Those beings who are cautious and restrained, and those who enter the supreme and excellent enlightenment, have no fear for them, and proclaim the boundless praise of the one vehicle. Such is the teaching of the guides, this supreme being skilled in means speaks many clever words. This is difficult for the unlearned to understand. Therefore, the saving skillful means of the world's teacher, the Buddha, with wisdom, cut through doubt, abandon hesitation, become a Buddha, and generate great joy. Thus it is said. The venerable Mahākāśyapa said this to the Blessed One. Blessed One, if beings have different inclinations, arising from the three realms, is their nirvana one, two, or three? The Blessed One replied: Kāśyapa, because of understanding that all dharmas are equal in nature, and attaining nirvana, it is one, not two, and not three. Thus it is said. All dharmas are empty and equal, without difference, they are self-nature. For them, it is a flower, if no dharma is seen, then the dharmakaya of dharma will be seen by great wisdom. There will not be three vehicles, here there is only one vehicle. All dharmas are equal, everything is equal, equal and balanced, always equal. Thus, knowing the principle of pacification, one knows the immortal nirvana. Thus it is said. This White Lotus Sutra was personally heard from the Tathagata in the past, and even hearing one verse, and generating one thought of joy in this sutra, all will be prophesied to attain enlightenment. Even after the Tathagata has completely passed into nirvana, hearing this Dharma discourse, and even hearing one verse, those sons and daughters of good family who generate just one thought of joy, I will prophesy them to attain unsurpassed enlightenment.

如是。因此，他已经侍奉供养了无量佛。如是说。如果从这部经中书写一个偈颂，受持和读诵等等，以及对经卷恭敬，供养，礼拜和合掌，所有这些我都授记为无上圆满菩提。未来的时候，有些人会这样说：那些将要成佛的众生是怎样的呢？就指示那些受持这部经的一个偈颂等等的众生，说：看，这些将要成佛。那是什么原因呢？即使从这部法类中受持一个偈颂，也要像天人等世间人对如来作供养一样去做。更何况完全通达受持这部经等等呢？应当认为他们已经完全成就了无上圆满菩提。如是说。为了利益世间和慈悲，如来圆寂后，为了宣说这部法类，应当认为他为了慈悲于赡部洲，从其他广大刹土转生为人。宣说这部法类，甚至秘密地由盗贼向一个众生正确地宣说，那么，应当认为那个种姓之子或种姓之女是如来的使者。做着如来的事业，应当认为是被如来派遣的。如是说。谁想要一切智智，想要如何迅速获得，那人就应当受持这部经，并且对受持者也作恭敬。如是等等，想要了解广大的赞叹，就应当阅读那部经。对此，我们的导师在五浊恶世的争斗时期做着佛的事业，也如最初的大悲愿一样。然而，如来的秘密不可思议之理是凡夫和声闻缘觉难以思量的，因此，仅凭片面的见闻，就认为导师释迦牟尼是在这个争斗时期成佛，寿命也只有八十岁左右，刹土也不清净，这样狭隘地思考是不

Thus. Therefore, he has served and honored immeasurable Buddhas. Thus it is said. If one writes even a single verse from this sutra, and upholds and recites it, and so on, and respects the book, makes offerings, prostrates, and joins palms, I will prophesy all of them to be unsurpassed, perfect enlightenment. In the future, some will say: What are those beings who will become Buddhas like? Point out those beings who uphold even a single verse of this sutra, and say: Look, these will become Buddhas. Why is that? Even if one upholds a single verse from this Dharma category, one should treat it as the world with gods and humans would honor the Tathagata. What need is there to mention those who fully understand and uphold this sutra, and so on? It should be understood that they have completely attained unsurpassed, perfect enlightenment. Thus it is said. To benefit the world and with compassion, after the Tathagata has passed into complete nirvana, in order to proclaim this Dharma category, it should be understood that he is born as a human being from another vast realm for the sake of compassion in Jambudvipa. If this Dharma category is explained, even secretly by a thief, correctly to one sentient being, then that son or daughter of the lineage should be regarded as the messenger of the Tathagata. Doing the work of the Tathagata, it should be understood that he is sent by the Tathagata. Thus it is said. Whoever desires all-knowing wisdom, and wonders how to quickly attain it, that person should uphold this sutra, and also show respect to the one who upholds it. Thus, and so on, wanting to know the vast praise, one should look at that sutra itself. Regarding this, our teacher, even doing the work of a Buddha in the time of the five degenerations of strife, is also in accordance with the initial great compassionate aspiration. However, the inconceivable secret of the Tathagata is difficult for ordinary beings and Hearers and Solitary Realizers to comprehend, therefore, with only a partial view, the teacher Shakyamuni is seen as becoming a Buddha in this time of strife, with a lifespan of only about eighty years, and the realm is also impure, it is not
