也如是般为趣入菩提者宣说正法。尔时,世尊加持彼会中所有初发心、善根微小、分别念重之有情,令其不见(文殊),亦不闻所说法。其后,尊者舍利子问文殊曰:文殊,汝为杀导师而造作之不善业,将于何处成熟?文殊答言:尊者舍利子,是如是。我造作如是不善业,然不知将于何处成熟。纵然如是,如幻化士夫之业于何处成熟,我亦将于彼处成熟。何以故?幻化士夫亦无常、无分别,且一切法亦无分别、无分别故。如是,我今问尊者舍利子,汝如何堪忍,如是请说。尊者,有兵器、业及异熟之可缘处耶?舍利子言:无也。文殊言:尊者舍利子,若无兵器,亦无业,亦无异熟,云何彼业将成熟耶?舍利子言:文殊,如汝意所说,彼业将无成熟之处。何以故?一切法无业及异熟故。其后,从十方世界云集之菩萨请白世尊言:祈请世尊以慈悲心劝请童子文殊,令其无论如何皆能前往我等之佛刹,宣说正法。其后,童子文殊告彼等菩萨曰:诸仁者,汝等各自观视自己之佛刹。彼等观视十方一切各自之佛刹时,亦闻彼等刹土发出童子文殊之美妙音声。于彼等诸佛前,童子文殊安住且天子慧

Thus, the Dharma was taught to those who were entering into enlightenment. At that time, the Blessed One blessed the assembly so that the sentient beings who were beginners, with small roots of virtue, and many discriminations, could neither see (Manjushri) nor hear the Dharma being taught. Then, the Venerable Shariputra said to Manjushri: "Manjushri, where will the unpleasant karma you have accumulated for the sake of killing the teacher ripen?" Manjushri said: "Venerable Shariputra, it is so. If I have done such an unwholesome deed, I do not know where it will ripen. However, wherever the karma of a magical being ripens, there I will also ripen. Why is that? Because a magical being is also impermanent and without discrimination, and all dharmas are also without discrimination and without discrimination. Thus, I ask the Venerable Shariputra himself, how do you endure it, please tell me. Venerable, are there objects of focus such as weapons, actions, and ripening?" Shariputra said: "No." Manjushri said: "Venerable Shariputra, if there are no weapons, no actions, and no ripening, then where will that action ripen?" Shariputra said: "Manjushri, as your thought has shown, that action will not ripen anywhere. Why is that? Because all dharmas have no action and no ripening." Then, Bodhisattvas gathered from the ten directions of the world requested the Blessed One: "Please, with compassion, encourage the youth Manjushri to go to our Buddha-fields and teach the Dharma." Then, the youth Manjushri said to those Bodhisattvas: "Noble sons, look at your own Buddha-fields." When they looked at their own Buddha-fields in all ten directions, they also heard the beautiful sound of the youth Manjushri from those fields. The youth Manjushri was present before those Buddhas, and the son of the gods, Wisdom,

当询问关于安住处和法类时,说法者以及聚集在那里的菩萨和天子们都被看见了。文殊童子从这个佛土也没有移动,却在一切处显现,真是稀有啊!真是稀有啊!他们都充满了惊叹。然后,文殊菩萨对那些菩萨们说:善男子们,比如一个魔术师,因为他精通魔术,所以不从座位上移动就能显现各种各样的形象。同样,菩萨如果精通般若波罗蜜多,也能像魔术一样,在想要显现的佛土中变现出各种各样的化身。为什么呢?因为他们知道这个法就像魔术一样。然后,世尊对文殊童子说:文殊,听到这个法类就像佛陀出现一样。听到这个就像获得入流果、一来果、不来果和阿罗汉果一样。凡是对这个法生起信心和信仰,并安住于菩提心的人,都是一样的。文殊菩萨说:世尊,确实如此。因为它与空性、无相、无愿、如是、法界、真实边际、平等性、解脱和寂静一样。然后,文殊童子祈请世尊加持,使得这个法类在未来五百年的末法时期能够被修行,并且能够传入善男子或善女子的耳中。当他这样祈请时,三千大千世界中,天人和人类的音乐之声都在未被演奏的情况下响起,所有的树木都开满了鲜花,所有的池塘里都涌现出许多莲花。三千大千世界发生了六种震动,被巨大的光明所笼罩,以至于日月都无法显现,天

When inquiring about the abodes and categories of Dharma, the Dharma teachers and the assembled Bodhisattvas and sons of gods were seen. This Manjushri Youth does not move from this Buddha-field, yet manifests everywhere, it is wondrous! It is wondrous! They were filled with wonder. Then, Manjushri spoke to those Bodhisattvas: Sons of good family, just as a magician, because he is very skilled in magic, can show various forms without moving from his seat, so too, a Bodhisattva who is well-versed in the Perfection of Wisdom can, like magic, manifest various emanations in as many Buddha-fields as he wishes to appear. Why is that? Because they know this Dharma is like magic. Then, the Bhagavan spoke to Manjushri, who had become a youth: Manjushri, hearing this category of Dharma is like the appearance of a Buddha. Hearing this is like attaining the fruit of Stream-enterer, Once-returner, Non-returner, and Arhatship. Whoever has faith and belief in this Dharma and abides in the heart of Bodhi is the same. Manjushri replied: Bhagavan, it is indeed so. For it is the same as emptiness, signlessness, wishlessness, suchness, the realm of Dharma, the ultimate reality, equality, liberation, and solitude. Then, Manjushri, having become a youth, requested the Bhagavan to bless this category of Dharma so that it may be practiced in the final five hundred years of the future and may be heard by the sons or daughters of good family. When he requested this, in this great trichiliocosm, the sounds of music of gods and humans resounded without being played, all the trees blossomed with flowers, and many lotuses emerged from the ponds. This great trichiliocosm shook in six ways and was pervaded by great light, so that even the sun and moon became invisible, and the gods

无数的众生也欢喜踊跃,心满意足,安住在上方的虚空中,花、粉、香、涂香如雨般纷纷降下。各种乐器和天上的歌声也响彻云霄,大家都合掌同声说道:啊啦啦,文殊童子所宣说的教法!啊啦啦,法!啊啦啦,法!我们看见世间又再次转动了第二次法轮。凡是听闻此法门,听闻后心生欢喜的众生,都不是只有少许善根的人。听闻此法而不害怕的人,是过去对诸佛做过殊胜供养,并且对甚深之法具有忍耐力的人。文殊菩萨对世尊说:世尊,为了加持这个法门,才出现这些预兆,这将在未来被奉行。佛说:文殊,正是如此。这些预兆的出现,是为了加持这个法门。文殊菩萨请示道:世尊,为了使此法门长久住世,请世尊以真谛加持。世尊说:文殊,以真谛和真谛之语,依于三解脱门而获得解脱的真谛和真谛之语,愿此法门在未来五百岁时被奉行。文殊菩萨请示道:世尊,以真谛和真谛之语,以无我、无众生、无烦恼、无清净的真谛和真谛之语,愿此法门在未来五百岁时被奉行。同样地,以贪欲等诸法,如来未曾施设为法与名,以及此教法和过去、现在、未来三世诸佛未曾行持、未曾解脱、不解脱、未曾开示、未曾听闻、未曾获得、未曾受用等真谛之语,愿此法门在未来五百岁时于赡部洲被奉行。当时,大千世界

Countless beings rejoiced and were delighted, dwelling in the sky above, and showers of flowers, powders, incense, and perfumes manifestly descended. Many celestial musical instruments and songs were also proclaimed, and everyone joined their palms together and unanimously spoke these words: Alala, the Dharma taught by Manjushri Kumara! Alala, the Dharma! Alala, the Dharma! We have seen the second turning of the wheel of Dharma in the world. Those beings who hear this Dharma discourse and, having heard it, become devoted to it, are not those who possess only meager roots of virtue. Those who are not afraid upon hearing this Dharma are those who have performed extraordinary deeds for the Buddhas of the past and have patience for the profound. Then Manjushri said to the Bhagavan: "Bhagavan, these omens have appeared in order to bless this Dharma discourse, and it will be practiced in the future." The Bhagavan replied: "Manjushri, it is just as you say. These omens have appeared for the sake of blessing this Dharma discourse." Manjushri requested: "Bhagavan, in order to make this Dharma discourse abide for a long time, please, Bhagavan, bestow a blessing of truth." The Bhagavan said: "Manjushri, by the truth and the words of truth, relying on the three doors of liberation, by the truth and the words of truth of liberation, may this Dharma discourse be practiced in the last five hundred years of the future." Manjushri requested: "Bhagavan, by the truth and the words of truth, by the truth and the words of truth of no self, no sentient beings, no defilements, and no purification, may this Dharma discourse be practiced in the last five hundred years of the future." Similarly, by the truth that the Tathagata has not designated phenomena such as desire as Dharma or names, and by the words of truth that this teaching and the Buddhas of the three times have never practiced, never liberated, do not liberate, have never shown, never heard, never attained, never used, etc., may this Dharma discourse be practiced in Jambudvipa in the last five hundred years. At that time, this great thousandfold world system...

当六种震动发生时,因为什么因缘呢?菩萨慈氏向薄伽梵请问,薄伽梵回答说:慈氏,如果这些心怀低劣想法的众生不执着,那就放过他们吧!慈氏又请问:薄伽梵,为了利益和安乐广大人群,为了天人和人类的福祉,请您宣说吧!薄伽梵回答说:慈氏,这个法门在此处,由七十四俱胝百千无数的佛陀宣说过。所有佛陀处,都是由文殊童子和天子慧增上所请问的。慈氏请问:薄伽梵,文殊童子和天子慧增上听闻此法门有多久了?薄伽梵回答说:慈氏,这些善男子在过去三无数劫前,从名为一切花显现殊胜狮子奋迅功德聚的如来那里听闻了这个法门。宣说此法门时,如恒河沙数般的众生发起了无上正等觉之心。其二倍数量的众生获得了不退转的忍辱。其二倍数量的众生在诸法中获得了无尘无垢清净的法眼。如是宣说。 另外,《文殊师利游戏经》中记载,有一个妓女名叫金顶光彩,她身色金黄,无论走到哪里,穿的衣服都是金色的,国王、大臣、商人们都喜欢她,都追随着她,她也值得人们观看。后来,一个名叫怖畏施的商人之子用钱雇了她,让她坐在车上,一起去游乐园。在路上,文殊童子以调伏的威力,用自己身体的光芒压倒了日月的光辉,并且从衣服中发出光芒,照亮了一由旬的范围,还显现了各种装饰品。金顶女也觉得自己身体不如文殊童子,并且以喜爱和贪恋文殊童子的心态想道:我要和他一起嬉戏。

When the six kinds of quakes occurred, what were the causes and conditions? Bodhisattva Maitreya asked the Bhagavan, and the Bhagavan replied: Maitreya, if these beings with inferior thoughts do not cling, then let them go! Maitreya again asked: Bhagavan, for the benefit and happiness of the vast multitude, for the welfare of gods and humans, please explain! The Bhagavan replied: Maitreya, this Dharma teaching has been taught in this place by seventy-four kotis, hundred thousands, and countless Buddhas. In all places, it was asked by Manjushri, who became a youth, and the son of the gods, Uttaramati. Maitreya asked: Bhagavan, how long have Manjushri, who became a youth, and the son of the gods, Uttaramati, heard this Dharma teaching? The Bhagavan replied: Maitreya, these sons of good family heard this Dharma teaching three countless kalpas ago from the Tathagata named Sarvakusuma-adhipati-simhavikridita-guna-samucchaya. When this Dharma teaching was taught, beings as numerous as the sands of the Ganges River generated the mind of unsurpassed, perfect, and complete enlightenment. Twice that number obtained the patience of non-retrogression. Twice that number obtained the Dharma eye, which is without dust, without stain, and completely pure, regarding all dharmas. Thus it was said. Furthermore, in the Manjushri-vikridita Sutra, there is a story of a prostitute named Golden Pinnacle Radiance, who had a golden complexion. Wherever she went, all her clothes were golden in color. Kings, ministers, merchants, and others all liked her, followed her, and she was worthy of being seen. Later, a merchant's son named Bhayada gave her money to hire her, and she sat in a chariot to go to the pleasure garden. On the way, Manjushri, who had become a youth, by the power of taming, suppressed the light of the sun and moon with the light of his own body, and light came from his clothes, illuminating a yojana, and he displayed various ornaments. The girl Golden Pinnacle also felt that her body was inferior to Manjushri's, and with a mind of love and attachment to Manjushri, she thought: I will play with him.

凭借威德,多闻天王化现为人身对女儿说:“此人并不追求欲望,而是名为文殊童子的菩萨,能圆满众生的心愿,施舍一切所求。”女儿心想:“那么,如果我乞讨这件衣服,他会施舍的。”于是乞讨了衣服。他说:“如果进入菩提道,我就施舍衣服。”女儿问:“菩提是什么?”他开示了无自性、平等性的道理,五百万天子因此发起了无上菩提心。二百个跟随金顶女的男女老少也发起了无上圆满菩提心。六十个天人获得了清净的法眼。金顶光女以五体投地的方式顶礼,接受了学处,并以增上意乐发起了无上菩提心,发誓要通过了知烦恼无自性的方式,努力调伏众生,并从菩萨的无烦恼之处开始向文殊菩萨提问。文殊菩萨也开示了通达空性、具足方便的甚深佛法。当时,世尊在鹫峰山的山坡上的一个药草丛中,与阿难一起长途行走,行走时,文殊菩萨发出了赞叹的声音,这声音传遍了整个大千世界,大地发生了六种震动,惊动了天龙夜叉等,他们聚集在世尊面前,询问这赞叹的声音是为谁而发出的。文殊菩萨说:“是为了我为金顶女开示佛法。”于是,诸天等都聚集在文殊菩萨面前,未生怨王等聚集的人们看到金顶光女远离贪欲的束缚,诸根寂静,看到没有人像以前那样对她产生贪恋。文殊菩萨问女儿:“你把你的烦恼放在哪里了?”女儿说:“一切烦恼都安住在法界中,不生不
