在燃烧的时候,我说我以他的力量超越了,然后以神通的力量显示了所有快速的神变,将周围一箭之地的火熄灭,与文殊一起用七天的时间超越了那个世界。然后,在另一个时候,在一个比那更广阔无垠的世界里,当火燃烧起来,进入世界之间时,文殊问我:舍利子,谁以神通的力量超越了这个?我说:我以你的力量超越了。仅仅一个发心,就用莲花网覆盖了那个世界,从而超越了。然后,当他们说我们之中谁的力量更快时,我说:就像鸟儿兰古里和鸟王鹏鸟的速度一样,你的神通比我快得多。声闻们因为没有切断习气的联系而不平等,但以前我认为你的神通是相等的。以前在海边,住着获得五神通的仙人求法者,以及以明咒的力量在空中行走的名叫遍施的仙人,遍施认为我们两个的神通是相等的。遍施去了大海的彼岸,去了罗刹女的岛屿,因为看到了罗刹女们悦意的声音和她们的形象,所以倒在地上,智慧和咒语都消失了。求法者以慈悲心抓住他的手,把他放在自己的位置上。那时,我变成了求法者,你变成了遍施,即使在那里,明明是不平等的,却产生了平等的感觉。也这样说了。还有,舍利子,我和文殊一起在南方诸佛的刹土中行持的时候,经过了无数百千万亿的佛土,到达了一个名叫一切庄严覆盖的世界,到达了名为珍宝命根的如来佛的刹土。他们这样说:尊者舍利子,你看到我们超越的那个刹土是什么样的?他说:有些充满了火,有些充满了水,有些变成了天空,有些富饶而兴盛,有些

At the time of burning, I said that I had surpassed it by his power, and then by the power of magical abilities, I showed all the swift transformations, extinguished the fire in the surrounding area of a bow-shot, and together with Manjushri, surpassed that world in seven days. Then, at another time, in a world even more vast and boundless than that, when fire was burning and entering between the worlds, Manjushri asked me: Shariputra, by whose power of magical abilities is this surpassed? I said: I have surpassed it by your power. With just one aspiration, that world was covered with a lotus net, and thus it was surpassed. Then, when they said whose power is faster among us, I said: Just like the speed of the bird Languli and the king of birds, the Garuda, your magical abilities are much faster than mine. Although the Hearers are unequal because they have not severed the connection of habitual tendencies, previously I thought your magical abilities were equal. Formerly, by the seashore, there lived the sage Dharma-seeker who had attained the five superknowledges, and the sage named All-Giving, who traveled in the sky by the power of knowledge-mantras. All-Giving thought that our two magical abilities were equal. All-Giving went to the other side of the ocean, to the island of the Rakshasis, and because he saw the pleasing sounds and forms of the Rakshasis, he fell to the ground, and his wisdom and mantras disappeared. The Dharma-seeker, with a compassionate mind, took his hand and placed him in his own place. At that time, I became the Dharma-seeker, and you became All-Giving, and even there, although it was clearly unequal, a feeling of equality arose. So it was also said. Furthermore, Shariputra, when I and Manjushri were practicing in the Buddha fields in the south, after passing countless billions of hundreds of thousands of Buddha lands, we arrived at a world called Covered with All Adornments, and arrived at the field of the Tathagata named Precious Life-Essence. They said this: Venerable Shariputra, how did you see that field that we surpassed? He said: Some were filled with fire, some were filled with water, some had become sky, some were prosperous and flourishing, some were

有些被火充满,有些被水充满,有些充满了恶道,有些脱离了恶道。”当他们这样说的时候,有人问:“应该如何看待这些?”他回答说:“应该像看待被火充满那样看待被火充满。”等等。然后他说:“文殊,你是如何看待的?”他回答说:“所有这些净土都被我看作是虚空的净土,被火或水充满等等,这些都不是真实的,而是由突发的因缘所生,具有生灭的性质。虚空不是由因缘所生,而是自性存在的。”同样,突发的烦恼使心变得烦恼,但心的自性从未变得烦恼。例如,过去曾有恒河沙数般的劫火焚烧,但虚空从未被烧焦。同样,每个众生都积聚了恒河沙数般的不善业,但心的自性从未变得烦恼。进入如此自性清净的法界,就不会有任何生起、遮蔽或显现的造作。这是无生起的法门,安住于此的菩萨们,进入诸法自性清净的状态,永远不会被过失所染污。”他这样说道。我说:“我所亲眼见到的文殊的神变,仅仅是其中的一部分。”然后,具寿阿难对舍利子说:“我也是如此,当世尊住在胜林的时候,在舍卫城,非时的大云连续七天下着大雨。获得禅定的比丘们通过入定来度过时间。那些没有获得禅定的人,因为七天没有食物而变得虚弱,无法前去拜见世尊。那时,我向世尊禀告了比丘们变得虚弱的情况,世尊命令我说:‘向文殊禀告此事。’我去了文殊那里,他正在向梵天、帝释天等世间守护者说法。我向他说了这件事。文殊说:‘阿难,你去把坐垫

Some are filled with fire, some are filled with water, some are filled with evil destinies, and some are free from evil destinies.” When they said this, someone asked, “How should these be viewed?” He replied, “One should view being filled with fire as being filled with fire.” and so on. Then he said, “Manjushri, how do you see it?” He replied, “All thesePure Lands are seen as the Pure Lands of space, filled with fire or filled with water, etc. These are not real, but arise from sudden causes and conditions, and have the nature of arising and ceasing. Space is not caused by conditions, but exists by its own nature.” Similarly, the mind becomes afflicted by sudden afflictions, but the nature of the mind has never become afflicted. For example, even if there had been kalpas of burning with as many sands as the Ganges in the past, the sky would not have been scorched before. Similarly, even if each sentient being accumulates as many non-virtuous actions as the sands of the Ganges, the nature of the mind has never become afflicted. Those who enter such a realm of phenomena that is completely pure in nature have no arising, obscuration, or manifestation of activity whatsoever. This is the Dharma gate of non-arising, and the Bodhisattvas who abide in this enter the completely pure nature of all Dharmas and will never be obscured by faults. He said that. I said, "The miraculous transformations of Manjushri that I have witnessed are only a small part of it." Then, the Venerable Ananda said to Shariputra, "It was also like this for me, when the Blessed One was staying in Jeta Grove, in Shravasti, a great untimely cloud rained heavily for seven days. Those monks who had attained meditative absorption spent their time in meditative equipoise. Those who had not attained such a state were too weak to go to see the Blessed One because they had been without food for seven days. At that time, I reported to the Blessed One that the monks had become weak, and the Blessed One commanded me, 'Report this matter to Manjushri.' I went to Manjushri, and he was teaching the Dharma to Brahma, Indra, and other guardians of the world. I told him about this matter. Manjushri said, 'Ananda, go and get the cushions.'

当撞钟的时间到了,我便像他们说的那样做了。文殊童子进入名为“身体完全坏灭”的禅定,用其他的化身向帝释天等宣说佛法。他自己从那个地方出来,到舍卫城去乞食,但我没有看见他。那时,恶魔波旬加持说,谁也看不见这位文殊,也不会向他布施。文殊菩萨知道后说:以我真实语和福德与智慧的积聚,我一个毛孔生出的福德,也是恒河沙数世界中的恶魔波旬所没有的真实语。以此消除魔的加持,恶魔波旬以自己的方式在道路和三岔路口等地向文殊菩萨布施食物吧!如果有人以一切安乐用具,为大千世界的一切众生供养十万年,恭敬承事,不如有人向文殊童子供养指甲尖那么大的东西,功德更为殊胜!说完之后,立刻就变成了那样,各种美好的食物不混杂地放入钵中。加持那钵食物,使五百比丘和两万菩萨都能得到满足。然后在舍卫城外,把钵放在地上,对恶魔波旬说:你拿这个钵,先走吧!恶魔把钵从地上拿起来,却无法移动。于是说道:恶魔,如果你有大神力,就用神通力拿起来吧!恶魔显示了所有的神通,甚至连一根头发丝也无法举起。恶魔感到非常惊讶,心想:如果我愿意,我可以把须弥山像拿着箭一样放在手掌中,然后扔向空中,可是为什么我却无法从地上拿起这个小小的钵呢?文殊菩萨说:这是因为大菩萨和伟大人物的力量所致。

When the time for striking the bell arrived, I did as they said. Manjushri, having become a youth, entered the samadhi called "The Complete Destruction of the Body," and while teaching the Dharma to Indra and others through other emanations, he himself emerged from that state and went to Shravasti for alms, but I did not see him. Then, the evil Mara blessed it so that no one in this city would see this Manjushri and no one would offer him alms. Manjushri, knowing this, said: "By the truth of my words and the accumulation of merit and wisdom, even the merit of a single pore of my skin is something that the evil Maras of worlds as numerous as the sands of the Ganges do not possess. By this truth, may the blessing of the Mara be nullified, and may the evil Mara himself offer alms to Manjushri in the manner of his own ways, on roads and at crossroads! It is better to offer even a fingernail's worth to Manjushri, who has become a youth, than to serve and revere all beings in the great thousandfold world with all the means of happiness for hundreds of thousands of years!" As soon as he said this, it immediately became so, and various excellent foods were placed unmixed into the alms bowl. He blessed the alms bowl so that it would be filled with enough food to satisfy five hundred monks and twenty thousand bodhisattvas. Then, outside the city of Shravasti, he placed the alms bowl on the ground and said to the evil Mara, "Take this alms bowl and go ahead!" The Mara lifted the alms bowl from the ground, but could not move it. Then he said, "Mara, if you have great power, lift it with your miraculous power!" The Mara displayed all his miraculous powers, but could not lift even a hair's breadth. The Mara was amazed and thought, "If I wished, I could take Mount Sumeru like an arrow in the palm of my hand and throw it into the sky, but why can't I lift this small alms bowl from this ground?" Manjushri said, "This is because the alms bowl is drawn by the power of great beings and great persons."

你放进去也提不起来啊。然后文殊菩萨从他手里拿过钵,说:“罪人你来扛着,先走。”那魔就如弟子一般拿着钵先走了。两万个有权势的天子向文殊菩萨顶礼,说道:‘为什么让这个罪人像奴仆一样走在前面?’文殊菩萨以神力让魔说道:‘魔的力量是愚痴的力量,菩萨的力量是智慧的力量。’说了这些之后,眷属中的五百个天子生起了无上菩提心,两百个菩萨获得了不生之法的忍耐。之后文殊菩萨和罪恶魔一起把钵放在僧众的院子里就走了,我既没有看见也没有听见。即使到了黄昏时分,也没有看见文殊菩萨从那个房间出来或者进去,心想文殊菩萨是不是欺骗了比丘僧团。于是我向世尊禀告了这些,世尊说道:‘你没有看见那个圆形的僧众院子吗?’我禀告道:‘那里有一个装满食物的钵。’世尊说道:‘敲犍稚,召集僧众。’我说:‘一个钵怎么够呢?’世尊说:‘即使大千世界的众生都从这一个钵里取食,也不会穷尽,这是文殊童子加持的缘故。’他的布施波罗蜜多能生出无尽的福德。’世尊如此说道。我敲响犍稚的时候,文殊菩萨也和那些天子以及菩萨们一起从自己的房间里出来,来到那个圆形的院子里,从那个钵里品尝美味的食物,没有掺杂,即使所有的众多比丘和众多菩萨都吃饱了,那个钵也没有完全空。然后罪恶魔为了障碍文殊菩萨,幻化出四万个不如意的比丘,他们有的没有好好穿僧裙等衣服,有的相貌不好,有的钵是破的,有的根不全,有的树不好,有的身体长短不一等等,即使给他们食物,那些食物也没有穷尽,而且他们每个人都吃了很多米饭。

You put it in, but you can't lift it. Then Manjushri took the bowl from him and said, 'Sinner, you carry it and go first.' The demon, like a disciple, carried the bowl and went first. Twenty thousand powerful gods prostrated to Manjushri and said, 'Why does this sinner walk in front like a servant?' Manjushri, by his power, made the demon say, 'The power of the demon is the power of ignorance, the power of the Bodhisattva is the power of wisdom.' After saying this, five hundred gods in the retinue generated the supreme Bodhicitta, and two hundred Bodhisattvas obtained forbearance of the unborn Dharma. Afterwards, Manjushri and the sinful demon together put the bowl in the courtyard of the Sangha and left. I neither saw nor heard. Even when it was dusk, I did not see Manjushri come out or enter from that room, and I thought that Manjushri might have deceived the Bhikshu Sangha. So I reported these to the Bhagavan, and the Bhagavan said, 'Did you not see that round Sangha courtyard?' I reported, 'There is a bowl full of food there.' The Bhagavan said, 'Ring the ghanta and gather the Sangha.' I said, 'How is one bowl enough?' The Bhagavan said, 'Even if all the beings of the great thousand worlds take food from this one bowl, it will not be exhausted, because it is blessed by Manjushri Kumara.' His Dana Paramita can generate endless merit.' The Bhagavan said so. When I rang the ghanta, Manjushri also came out of his room with those gods and Bodhisattvas and came to that round courtyard, tasting the delicious food from that bowl, unmixed, even if all the many Bhikshus and many Bodhisattvas were full, that bowl was not completely empty. Then, in order to obstruct Manjushri, the sinful demon transformed into forty thousand undesirable Bhikshus, some of whom did not wear the Sanghati and other clothes properly, some of whom had bad appearances, some of whom had broken bowls, some of whom had incomplete senses, some of whom had bad trees, some of whom had different body lengths, etc. Even if they were given food, those foods were not exhausted, and each of them ate a lot of rice.
