在一个略微倾斜的地方的中央,有一座由金刚石制成的宝座,每个方向长三箭,高三肘,在宝座的中央生长着菩提树。它由所有佛陀的加持所形成,即使在毁灭性的劫难中,也不会被七个太阳和一个水灾所摧毁,人们希望它像悬挂在天空中的水桶一样存在。在前往那里的路上,婆罗门之女善生女用五百头母牛的乳汁熬制成乳粥,供养了他,他的身体变得像擦拭过的金色的柱子一样。祈祷供养的功德是什么?愿具名声的所求皆能成就,愿人中之王、具无上智慧者,一切所愿皆速疾成就。如此发下了清净的愿望,为了他人的利益。之后,他动身从卖草人吉祥者那里买了草,带着草来到了金刚座。降伏魔众的事业是:之后,他将那些草铺在金刚座上,结跏趺坐,坚定地立下誓言:只要未得无漏果,我便不解此跏趺坐。并且说:即使我这身体在此座上干枯,即使皮肤和骨骼都坏了,若未获得无数劫难中难得的菩提,我也不从这座位上起身。如此说道。之后,在夜晚时分,他进入了降伏魔众的禅定,放射出遍布的光芒,使所有魔众的住所震动,勇气丧失。无法忍受,魔王喜饶旺秋伪装成猎人的样子,来到菩萨面前说道:你在这里做什么?菩萨说道:为了证得圆满正等觉。魔说道:要证得圆满正等觉,不是要圆满无数的资粮吗?你只是过着安逸的王子生活,什么也没做。菩萨说道:你仅仅做了一个无常的供养,就成了欲界的大自在天,我无数劫来圆满了二资粮,为何不能成佛?魔王竖起了两根手指

In the center of a slightly inclined place, there was a throne made of diamond, each side measuring three arrows in length and three cubits in height, and in the center of the throne grew the Bodhi tree. It was formed from the blessings of all the Buddhas, and even in a destructive kalpa, it would not be destroyed by seven suns and one flood, and it was desired that it would exist like a bucket hanging in the sky. On the way there, the Brahmin's daughter, Lekye Ma (Good Birth), cooked milk porridge made from the milk of five hundred cows and offered it to him, and his body became like a wiped golden pillar. What is the merit of offering prayers? May all that is sought with fame be accomplished, may the king of men, endowed with supreme wisdom, have all his wishes quickly fulfilled. Thus, he made pure aspirations for the benefit of others. After that, he set off and bought grass from the grass seller Tashi Den (Auspicious One), and with the grass, he arrived at the Vajra Seat. The deed of subduing the Maras was: After that, he spread the grass on the Vajra Seat, sat in the lotus position, and firmly made a vow: As long as I have not attained the unpolluted fruit, I will not break this lotus position. And said: Even if this body of mine dries up on this seat, even if the skin and bones are destroyed, unless I attain the Bodhi that is difficult to find in countless kalpas, I will not move my body from this seat. So he said. After that, in the evening, he entered the samadhi of subduing the Maras, radiating light everywhere, causing all the abodes of the Maras to shake and their courage to be lost. Unable to bear it, the king of the Maras, Garab Wangchuk, disguised himself as a hunter and came to the Bodhisattva and said: What are you doing here? The Bodhisattva said: For the sake of attaining perfect and complete enlightenment. The Mara said: To attain perfect and complete enlightenment, isn't it necessary to perfect countless accumulations? You have only lived a comfortable life as a prince and have done nothing. The Bodhisattva said: You became the great powerful one of the desire realm by merely making one impermanent offering, why can't I become enlightened, having perfected the two accumulations for countless kalpas? The Mara raised two fingers

说完,他举起手说道:我在这里没有永恒的供养。你就是我所作所为的见证。你在这里有什么见证人吗?说了也无济于事,没有见证人你就是失败者。说完之后,菩提萨埵用一百种功德成就的手掌拍打地面说:这土地是所有众生的住所,有因无因平等,没有亲疏之分。这是我的见证,我没有说谎。请你做我的见证。刚说完,土地女神坚固母,身体像纯金一样,半身从地里出来,手里拿着一粒微尘说:我能数清这大地轮廓的大小,但是这位善男子布施头和肢体是无法数清的,所以他成佛的时机已经成熟了。说完就消失了。魔王感到羞愧和沮丧,回到了自己的住所。他率领了成千上万的魔军,使那些没有像幻觉一样智慧的人感到恐惧和害怕。因此,菩提萨埵安住于慈爱的禅定中,所有投掷的武器都变成了花雨。所有不悦耳的声音都变成了赞美的旋律,当他降伏了所有的魔术时,天神赞叹道:释迦王证悟了缘起之法,见到自性本空,具有如虚空般的心,因此不会被邪恶之徒及其军队所击败。用慈爱的光芒降伏了魔术,投掷的武器都变成了鲜花。说完之后,魔军撤退了,七个魔女用爱欲的姿态来诱惑他,结果变成了七个老妇,后来又后悔地请求宽恕说:清净五身,无比美妙,智慧如海,犹如金色的须弥山,名声响彻三界,至尊怙主,向您顶礼。说完赞颂之词,恢复了原样,回到了自己的住所。示现圆满菩提的事业是:之后,在午夜时分,安住于第四禅的禅定中。黎明时分,接近敲鼓的时候。

Having said this, he raised his hand and said: I have no eternal offerings here. You are the witness to what I have done. Do you have any witnesses here? It is useless to say, without a witness you are the loser. After saying this, the Bodhisattva struck the ground with his hand made of a hundred merits, saying: This earth is the dwelling place of all beings, equal with or without cause, without partiality. This is my witness, I am not lying. Please be my witness. As soon as he said this, the earth goddess, the steadfast mother, whose body was like pure gold, emerged halfway from the ground, holding a tiny dust particle in her hand, saying: I can count the size of this great earth circle, but this noble son's giving of his head and limbs cannot be counted, so the time for him to attain complete enlightenment has come. Having said this, she disappeared. The demon king felt ashamed and frustrated and returned to his abode. He led billions of demon soldiers, causing fear and dread to those who did not have wisdom like illusions. Therefore, the Bodhisattva remained in the samadhi of loving-kindness, and all the weapons thrown turned into showers of flowers. All unpleasant sounds turned into the nature of melodious praises, and when he subdued all the illusions of the demons, the gods praised him: The king of the Shakyas realized the law of dependent origination, saw that self-nature is empty, and possessed a mind like the sky, therefore he is not defeated by the wicked and their armies. He subdued the illusions of the demons with rays of loving-kindness, and the weapons thrown turned into flowers. After saying this, the demon soldiers retreated, and the seven demon daughters tried to seduce him with amorous gestures, but they turned into seven old women, and later repented and begged for forgiveness, saying: Pure five bodies, supremely beautiful, wisdom like the ocean, like a golden Mount Meru, fame resounding throughout the three realms, supreme protector, I prostrate to you. After saying these praises, they returned to their original state and went back to their abode. The deeds of manifesting perfect enlightenment are: After that, at midnight, he remained in the samadhi of the fourth dhyana. At dawn, near the time of drumming.

证悟了知诸漏已尽和知无生之智慧。成佛,证得菩提,获得三种智慧之时,此大地也剧烈震动。无数的光芒也显现出来。天神赞叹道:雄狮士夫以武力降伏了魔军,示现导师之四禅定,何时获得十力与三种智慧,十方无数佛土皆震动。如此。之后七周不说法而住。第一周保持结跏趺坐不动。第二周接近瞻洲。第三周长久地接近三千世界。第四周注视菩提树。第五周前往龙王调伏之处。第六周调伏所有遍行外道。第七周住在树木茂盛的园林中,接受了商人嘎贡和桑炯供养的蜂蜜,以及四位国王供养的石钵,享用后宣说了吉祥之语。之后说道:深寂离戏光明无为法,我已证得如甘露之法,无论向谁宣说亦无法理解,不如安住于不语之森林。如此说道,并倾向于微小之事。转法轮之事业是:之后,梵天忆起往昔之誓愿,来到如来面前祈请道:成就广大殊胜之智慧坛城后,向十方散布各种光芒,以智慧之光开启智慧之莲花,为何今日舍弃言说之太阳而安住?请敲响神圣之法的巨鼓,请吹响神圣之法的海螺,请竖立神圣之法的旗幡,请点燃神圣之法的明灯。说完后,以旃檀香粉撒向佛陀,然后返回自己的住所。之后,帝释天也前来,帝释天供养珍宝,祈请道:如满月脱离星宿般,能仁您的心已完全解脱。请您从战场上获得胜利而起立,请您在黑暗的世间中发出智慧之光。如此祈请,但佛陀没有答应。

Having realized the wisdom of knowing the exhaustion of defilements and the wisdom of knowing non-arising. When he became a Buddha, attained enlightenment, and acquired the three knowledges, this great earth also trembled violently. Countless rays of light also appeared. The gods praised: That lion among men subdued the armies of Mara with strength, and manifested the four meditations of the teacher. When he acquired the ten powers and the three kinds of knowledge, countless Buddha-fields in the ten directions trembled. So it is said. Then, he remained without teaching the Dharma for seven weeks. In the first week, he remained without breaking his meditative posture. In the second week, he approached Jambudvipa. In the third week, he approached the three thousand worlds for a long time. In the fourth week, he gazed at the Bodhi tree. In the fifth week, he went to the place where the Naga king was subdued. In the sixth week, he subdued all the wandering ascetics. In the seventh week, he stayed in the grove of abundant trees, accepted the honey offered by the merchants Gagong and Sangkyong, and the stone bowls offered by the four kings. After enjoying them, he spoke auspicious words. Then he said: I have found a Dharma that is profound, peaceful, free from elaboration, luminous, uncompounded, and like nectar. But no matter to whom I show it, they will not understand. So, I will remain in the forest of non-speaking. Thus he spoke, and inclined towards small matters. The activity of turning the wheel of Dharma was: Then, Brahma, remembering his past vows, came to the Tathagata and requested: After accomplishing the mandala of great and supreme wisdom, scattering various rays of light in the ten directions, opening the lotus of intelligence with the light of wisdom, why do you remain indifferent today, abandoning the sun of speech? Please strike the great drum of the sacred Dharma, please blow the conch shell of the sacred Dharma, please raise the banner of the sacred Dharma, please light the lamp of the sacred Dharma. After saying this, he scattered sandalwood powder on the Buddha and returned to his own abode. Then, Indra also came, bringing a jeweled gem, and requested: Like the full moon freed from the constellations, your mind, O Sage, is completely liberated. Please rise up, victorious from the battlefield, please emit the light of wisdom in the darkness of the world. Thus he requested, but the Buddha did not grant it.

此后,梵天献上具有千辐的金轮,并祈请道:请您奋起赢得战斗的胜利!请您在黑暗的世界里放出智慧之光!我们都渴望得到您的教诲,请释迦牟尼您宣讲佛法!受到劝请后,如来开示道:众生被各种欲望束缚,被烦恼之流不断冲击。我历经千辛万苦才证悟,因此宣讲无益。梵天啊,我已摧毁一切邪见,历经千辛万苦才证悟的这个佛法,被世间的贪欲所缠绕,难以轻易证悟。说完,佛陀没有答应。梵天再次祈请道:在这个摩揭陀国,以前的佛法,沾染了不净的污垢。请开启甘露之门吧!请宣说无尘无垢的佛法!说完,佛陀接过法轮,开示道:梵天啊,摩揭陀国的众生,凡是具有听觉、具有信心和智慧,不害众生、常有正念听闻佛法的人,就为他们开启甘露之门。佛陀说完的瞬间,如来允许转法轮的声音,传遍到色究竟天,诸天各自带着供养的队伍前来。当时,大自在天和四位树神祈请道:在何处转法轮?佛陀开示道:在瓦拉纳西。又祈请道:在那里不合适,因为树荫稀少,而且没有众多的人群聚集。佛陀开示道:在那里我曾用六十千兆的供品进行供养。瓦拉纳西是神圣的地方,是过去仙人们的住所。因此,就在被称为仙人住所的圣地转法轮。说完,佛陀忆起往昔的愿力,于是看着五贤,前往瓦拉纳西。五贤约定不向佛陀顶礼。在路上,佛陀遇到一位依靠婆罗门为生的婆罗门,婆罗门问道:乔达摩,你向谁行梵行?佛陀开示道:我没有任何老师。没有人和我相似。我是唯一圆满的佛陀。已经清凉,烦恼已经止息。说完,婆罗门又问道:你是阿罗汉吗?

Then, Brahma offered a golden wheel with a thousand spokes and requested: Please arise to win the victory in battle! Please shine the light of wisdom in the dark world! We all desire to receive your teachings, please, Shakyamuni, teach the Dharma! Upon being entreated, the Thus-Gone One declared: Beings are bound by various desires, and are constantly battered by the stream of afflictions. I attained enlightenment after great hardship, therefore teaching is of no benefit. Brahma, I have destroyed all wrong views, and this Dharma, which I realized after great hardship, is entangled by worldly desires, and is not easily realized. Having said this, the Buddha did not agree. Brahma prayed again: In this land of Magadha, the previous Dharma was tainted with impure defilements. Please open the gate of nectar! Please explain the Dharma that is free from dust and defilement! After speaking, the Buddha took the wheel and declared: Brahma, whichever sentient beings in Magadha have ears, have faith and wisdom, do not harm beings, and always listen to the Dharma with mindfulness, for them I will open the gate of nectar. At the moment the Buddha finished speaking, the sound of the Thus-Gone One allowing the turning of the wheel of Dharma spread to Akanishta, and the gods each came with their retinues of offerings. At that time, Maheshvara and the four tree goddesses prayed: Where will the wheel of Dharma be turned? The Buddha declared: In Varanasi. They prayed again: It is not suitable there, because the shade of the trees is sparse, and there is no gathering of many people. The Buddha declared: There I made offerings with sixty trillion offerings. Varanasi is a sacred place, the abode of the sages of the past. Therefore, the sacred wheel will be turned in that holy place called the abode of the sages. Having said this, the Buddha remembered his past vows, and so he looked at the Five Excellent Ones and went to Varanasi. The Five Excellent Ones made a pact not to prostrate to the Buddha. On the way, the Buddha met a Brahmin who lived by means of Brahmanism, and the Brahmin asked: Gautama, to whom do you practice pure conduct? The Buddha declared: I have no teacher. There is no one like me. I am the only perfect Buddha. I have become cool, and my defilements have ceased. After saying this, the Brahmin asked again: Are you an Arhat?
