从我这里,主尊观世音菩萨以各种不同的名称和形态,与眷属一同降临此地,并宣说了各自的大明咒。十方诸佛都将手印置于顶上,并宣告“善哉”。忿怒尊之王众跳舞并驱除障碍。世间守护之众与其眷属誓愿守护佛法。这是这样说的。 此外,在《观世音菩萨千手千眼仪轨》的详细解释中,伟大的菩萨观世音自在的奇迹力量是不可思议的。在过去无数劫之前,他已经证悟成佛,名为法显佛薄伽梵。由于他的大慈悲和愿力,为了利益和安乐众生,他显现为菩萨之身。诸天和人们应当时常供养他。也应念诵他的名号,这样会生起善根,净化诸多罪业,死后将往生极乐世界。如是说。 此外,在《般若波罗蜜多略字经》的大乘经典中,薄伽梵告诉观世音菩萨:你将成为如来、阿罗汉、正等觉,名为光芒普照胜幢王。那些听闻你的名字、受持、读诵,以及向他人广为宣说,或书写在书本上并进行供养的人,所有这些人在未来都将成为如来。如是说。 此外,在《圣法一切功德庄严王经》中,金刚手菩萨请问:薄伽梵,观世音自在,为何如此称呼?佛陀回答说:因为他如此观照一切世间,思维,满足,完全守护,正确地呼吸,具有慈悲心、安乐心、慈爱心和怜悯心,并圆满一切意愿,因此称为观世音自在。

From me, the principal Avalokiteśvara, with various different names and forms, along with his retinue, arrived in this field and proclaimed their respective great vidyā mantras. All the Buddhas of the ten directions placed their mudras on their crowns and proclaimed the sound of "Excellent!" The assembly of wrathful kings danced and dispelled obstacles. The assembly of world protectors, together with their retinues, vowed to protect the teachings. Thus it was said. Furthermore, in the detailed explanation of the "Thousand-Handed, Thousand-Eyed Avalokiteśvara Ritual," the miraculous power of the great Bodhisattva Avalokiteśvara is inconceivable. In the distant past, immeasurable kalpas ago, he had already attained complete enlightenment and became a Buddha named Dharma Manifestation Buddha, the Bhagavan. Due to his great compassion and the power of his vows, for the benefit and happiness of sentient beings, he appears here in the form of a Bodhisattva. Gods and humans should always make offerings to him. Also, recite his name, and thus roots of virtue will arise, many sins will be purified, and after death, one will be reborn in Sukhavati. Thus it was said. Furthermore, in the Mahayana sutra called "The Perfection of Wisdom in Few Syllables," the Bhagavan told Avalokiteśvara: You will become the Tathagata, Arhat, Perfectly Enlightened Buddha named Light Rays Surpassing All, King of Glorious Banner. Those who hear your name, hold it, recite it, and extensively teach it to others, or write it in books and make offerings, all of them will become Tathagatas in the future. Thus it was said. Furthermore, in the sutra called "The Noble King Who Arranges All the Qualities of All Dharmas," Vajrapani asked: Bhagavan, Avalokiteśvara, why is he called that? The Buddha replied: Because he thus looks upon all the worlds, contemplates, satisfies, completely protects, correctly breathes, possesses a mind of compassion, a mind of happiness, a mind of loving-kindness, and a mind of affection, and fulfills all intentions, therefore he is called Avalokiteśvara.

称作是。金刚手菩萨禀告说:世尊,仅观想观世音自在菩萨的名号,也能使一切愿望完全圆满。如是说。又,在宣说观世音菩萨一百零八名号中说:无论何人,若恒常希求安乐,则应恒常赞颂利益一切众生、众生之主的观世音菩萨,以及从莲花中出生的菩萨。如是说。至尊大悲自在的证悟述说品,第二品。顶礼大菩萨、大心菩萨金刚手。供养、皈依。执持如来身语意一切秘密宝藏的秘密主金刚手,是不可思议的自性。出自《宝积经》的不可思议秘密中说:世尊的右侧,金刚手菩萨手持金刚杵而坐。菩萨寂静慧对秘密主说:您是如来的近侍,既然如来的秘密处连声闻缘觉都无法到达,更何况是凡夫俗子,请您宣说。释迦牟尼佛也劝请金刚手菩萨如此宣说,秘密主说:自从世尊往昔为菩萨时,燃灯佛授记之后,我一直作为菩萨的近侍,因此,我将所见的菩萨身语意秘密的少许方面,如是这般地宣说,从而利益了无量众生。当时,眷属中的一些菩萨心想:具有如此威力的秘密主,在何处种下善根?承侍供养了多少佛?发了什么样的愿,才成为这样?世尊便开示说:在过去无量无数不可思议劫前,有个名为美妙显现的劫,在名为种种庄严的世间界中,有如来名号为功德无量珍宝庄严王

It is called. Vajrapani Bodhisattva said: O Bhagavan, merely contemplating the name of Avalokiteśvara, the Lord of Compassion, will also completely fulfill all wishes. Thus it was said. Furthermore, in the teaching of the one hundred and eight names of Avalokiteśvara, it is said: Whoever constantly desires happiness should always praise Avalokiteśvara, the lord of all beings and creatures, and the one who arises from the lotus. Thus it was said. The second chapter, which is the section on expressing the realization of the Lord of Compassion. Homage to the Bodhisattva, the great being, Vajrapani. I offer and take refuge. The Lord of Secrets, Vajrapani, who holds the treasury of all the secrets of the body, speech, and mind of the Tathagata, is of an inconceivable nature. It is said in the Inconceivable Secret of the Jewel Heap Sutra: On the right side of the Bhagavan, Vajrapani is sitting holding a vajra. The Bodhisattva Peaceful Intelligence said to the Lord of Secrets: You are the close attendant of the Tathagata, and since the secret place of the Tathagata is beyond the reach of even the Shravakas and Pratyekabuddhas, let alone ordinary beings, please declare it. Shakyamuni Buddha also urged Vajrapani to speak in this way, and the Lord of Secrets said: Since the time when this Bhagavan was formerly a Bodhisattva and was prophesied by Dipamkara Buddha, I have been attending upon the Bodhisattva. Therefore, I have spoken about a few aspects of the secrets of the body, speech, and mind of the Bodhisattva that I have seen, in this way, and have thus benefited immeasurable beings. At that time, some of the Bodhisattvas in the assembly thought: Where did this Lord of Secrets, who possesses such power, plant the roots of virtue? How many Buddhas did he serve and honor? What kind of aspiration did he make to become like this? The Bhagavan then taught: In the past, immeasurable, countless, and inconceivable eons ago, in a kalpa called Beautiful Appearance, in a world realm called Completely Adorned, there was a Tathagata named King of Qualities, Infinite Jewels, and Various Arrangements.

Then it appeared. At that time, the length of life could reach 360 million years, and people would not die untimely. That world was also extremely prosperous and peaceful, the sentient beings had few afflictions, and they all had the ability to understand eloquent speech. In that world, in the four continents world called Beautiful Appearance, it was extremely prosperous and peaceful, and the four directions were vast. There, there was a royal city called Pure Adornment, decorated with vast wealth, and a wheel-turning king named Dhritarashtra, who ruled the four continents, was one who would not regress from unsurpassed enlightenment. He had seven hundred thousand consorts and retinues like precious jewels, and a thousand sons who were brave and possessed excellent limbs and appearances, all of whom had entered perfect enlightenment. At that time, the Blessed One, the King of Limitless Qualities, Precious Jewels, and Adornments, together with the community of monks, resided in the royal palace of the king, which was complete with pure adornments. King Dhritarashtra served the Blessed One with all pleasing enjoyments for a full one hundred million years, listened to the Dharma with mindfulness, and developed the divine eye of clairvoyance. At that time, those young princes, for the purpose of making offerings to their father, Dhritarashtra, built a vast and magnificent pavilion made of the essence of celestial sandalwood and transformation, whose water surface width was ten yojanas, and which was well adorned with beautiful decorations. The value of half a srang of that sandalwood could not be matched even by the entire Jambudvipa. Afterwards, King Dhritarashtra, together with those princes, as well as the consorts, retinues, and relatives, entered that pavilion, and with various offering items, transformed to go into the sky above, and went to where the Tathagata, the King of Limitless Qualities, Precious Jewels, and Adornments was, placed the pavilion on the ground, prostrated to the Tathagata, and listened to the Dharma. The Tathagata made them very happy with the Dharma teachings, and afterwards that king offered all the kingdom to the Buddha. There, on a full moon day, King Dhritarashtra was playing and rejoicing in the garden with a gathering of music.

那时,名叫贞洁无垢的妃子和名叫无比的妃子两人沐浴后,坐在狮子座莲花生的善妙之处。两位美丽的年轻王子在她们两人的膝上结跏趺坐而显现。那时,就在那一瞬间,从上方的虚空中诸神发出声音说:‘奇哉!这孩子是具法心者,此乃具法之智慧。’因此,两个孩子的名字就成了这样。那两个孩子一出现,没有解开跏趺坐,就诵说了佛法的偈颂,从母亲的膝上下来说道:‘顶礼父亲,请您前往如来之处。’于是父母带着儿子一起前往佛陀之处,听闻佛法,做了许多众生的利益。之后,轮王守护国独自住在高楼的房间里心想:‘我的这些孩子如果都进入了无上菩提,那么在所有这些人当中,首先是谁成佛呢?’于是,在七宝瓶中写上那些年轻王子的名字,做了七天的供养。在妃子和王子们面前,由里面的人取出那些名字,首先是年轻王子名叫遍净智慧的名字被取出,就在那一瞬间,大地震动,乐器未经弹奏而发出声音,那就是如来坏劫。同样地,依次出现了胜军、调伏自在、一切义成、具种姓者,他们分别是金寂、光护、现在的导师释迦牟尼佛和未来将要到来的弥勒佛。同样地,从名叫殊胜智慧开始,到名叫宝冠庄严,在一千个名字中缺少一个名字之间出现,依次是从佛陀狮子到功德无量名称的如来。当所有王子中最小的,名叫无量智慧的名字最后出现时,所有的哥哥们说道:‘我们已经使一切众生成熟,在那之后你还能做什么呢?’最小的王子说道:‘佛法犹如虚空,而心’

Then, the two consorts named Chaste Immaculate and Unparalleled, after bathing, sat on the excellent place of the lion throne lotus birth. Two beautiful young princes appeared sitting in the lotus position on the laps of the two consorts. Then, at that instant, from the sky above, the gods uttered a sound saying, 'How wonderful! This child has a Dharma mind. This is Dharma wisdom.' Therefore, the names of the two children became like that. As soon as the two children appeared, without breaking their lotus position, they recited verses of the Dharma, descended from their mother's laps, prostrated to their father, and said, 'Please go to the Tathagata.' Then the parents, together with their sons, went to the Buddha, listened to the Dharma, and benefited many sentient beings. After that, King Protector of the Realm, alone in a multi-storied house, thought, 'If these young ones of mine all enter unsurpassed Bodhi, then among all of them, who will be the first to attain Buddhahood?' So, he wrote the names of those young princes on seven precious vases, made offerings for seven days, and in front of the consorts and princes, the names were drawn out by the people inside. First, the name of the young prince named Pure Wisdom appeared, and at that instant, the great earth shook, and the musical instruments sounded without being played, and that was the Tathagata Destroyer of Aeons. Similarly, Victorious Army, Peaceful Lord, Accomplisher of All Purposes, and Possessor of Lineage appeared in order. They are Golden Sage, Light Protector, the current teacher Shakyamuni Buddha, and the future Maitreya. Similarly, from the name Supreme Wisdom to the name Crown Ornamented, appearing among a thousand names lacking one, in order from Buddha Lion to the Tathagata of Infinite Qualities Fame. When the name of the youngest of all the princes, Infinite Wisdom, appeared last of all, all the elder brothers said, 'We have ripened all sentient beings, so what will you do after that?' The youngest prince said, 'The Buddha's Dharma is like the sky, and the mind'
