English version: Now entering Shravasti, there must be a multitude of Bodhisattvas from the ten directions coming universally, those who are moved by the Buddha's decree, they should be like the Buddha. Immediately, the image of Ruoshou Bodhisattva did not move, and from each pore of his body, emanated transformation Bodhisattvas. These transformation Bodhisattvas, appearing in the ten directions, in each country, the transformed and those being transformed, each proclaimed: 'Ruoshou Bodhisattva bows his head to the World Honored One! Respectfully inquiring about your sojourn. Is the Buddha's fortune healthy and strong, and is your blessedness immeasurable?' Moreover, the disciples who attend the Tathagatas, joyful and excited, each asked their Buddhas: 'From where have these Bodhisattvas come, now appearing here?' The World Honored Ones of each land told their attendants: 'There is a land named Saha, where the Buddha is named Shakyamuni Tathagata, the Arhat, the Samyaksambuddha. There is a Bodhisattva there, named Ruoshou, whose wisdom of the path is unfathomable, and whose skillful eloquence is boundless, widely manifesting Buddha-deeds in various lands. Now, in that land, he is flourishing and manifesting the Great Path, therefore, from the pores of his body, he manifests transformations, chanting these moving words, dispelling all doubts.' Bodhisattvas from all lands and all sentient beings, seeing these transformations, hearing the Buddha's words, billions of Bodhisattvas all attained the Dharma-joy-patience (Anutpattika-dharma-kshanti) of no coming from anywhere and no going anywhere. Trillions of beings in the cycle of birth and death, hearing the name of Ruoshou Bodhisattva, and seeing his transformation manifestations, all generated the intention for the unsurpassed, true, and right path (Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi-citta). Bodhisattvas from the ten directions were all delighted, wishing to see Ruoshou Bodhisattva, to hear his pure and extraordinary teachings, the subtle Dharma-form, to be able to see the Buddha and that Bodhisattva. These Bodhisattvas then followed countless Bodhisattvas, each reporting to the World Honored One: 'We wish to go to the Saha world to behold Shakyamuni Buddha, to pay homage and make offerings. We also wish to see Ruoshou Bodhisattva, to observe and hear his transformations and teachings.' The Buddhas remained silent, indicating their acceptance of their request. They each received the Buddha's holy power, flying to that land, suddenly ascending to the Saha world, arriving at the place where Ruoshou Bodhisattva was. The Bodhisattvas who came all held reverence in their hearts, some holding heavenly flowers, some holding bright treasures, some holding hanging pearls, some directly clasping their hands, some playing heavenly music, some scattering flowers and incense powder in the void, blowing conch shells, some singing praises of Ruoshou, the pure Bodhisattva, manifesting the supreme virtue of universal protection, some wishing to guide and attend Ruoshou Bodhisattva, walking respectfully, gazing and observing without weariness. At this time, Shakra Devendra and the Four Heavenly Kings (Chaturmaharajika) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

镇王、日月天子，诸龙鬼神各与所辅，亦寻忽至。释与四王俱同有念：“今濡首童真与无数菩萨、诸尊天人，当入舍卫显大感动，宜应尽化向舍卫城道，令其坦平而无高下。侠道两边列七宝树，一树之间有七玉女，各现半身而作倡伎。女容委靡姿媚，面照华色，目若明珠，端正妙异，清声美辞以歌濡首大吉祥福，清纯道品菩萨众德。步置熏炉烧天蜜香，处有杂华以为供养。登于尔时，道之左侧，含毒螫虫蟒蝮蛇蚖蜂蝎众类，应时咸然消缩毒气，吉兽瑞鸟进集嬉翔。” 彼时濡首，为无数百千菩萨众及诸天人而所围卫，特独堂堂光色无量。譬日始出高山之岳，若月盛满在众星中，又若须弥异于众山。如猛师子出于深林，晖颜灼然遂而进焉。适侧城门，寻足蹑阃，尽境震动。登尔之时莫不惊愕，所在伎器率自鼓鸣，咸曰：“此何吉祥大变瑞应之异？乃未曾有，将佛入城所感然乎？”举国大小靡不惊喜，心豫忻忻肃恭无量，或上楼阁，或攀垣墙，或窥窗牖，或出门户，竞有悦怿，向佛冀睹神异。 时王波斯匿，与宫正后美妃婇女八千人俱，诸子群臣眷属万人围卫从行，各怀忻悦惶喜出迎。斯须之顷濡首忽至，为诸菩萨及尊众天而所卫从，大人相具众好普备，金颜圣容见皆喜悦，莫不前礼。诸来之众中有散华，或 现代汉语译本：镇王（守护地方的国王）、日月天子（太阳和月亮的神祇），以及诸龙鬼神各自带领着他们的部属，也迅速赶到。释（指释迦牟尼佛）与四王（四大天王）一同心想：‘现在濡首童真（指佛陀的童年化身）与无数菩萨、诸尊天人，将要进入舍卫城（古代印度城市）展现巨大的感应，应该将通往舍卫城的道路全部平整，使其没有高低不平。道路两旁排列着七宝树，每棵树之间有七位玉女，各自显现半身，表演歌舞。这些女子容貌柔美妩媚，面容光彩照人，眼睛像明珠一样，端庄美丽，用清脆美妙的声音歌颂濡首的大吉祥福，以及清净纯洁的道品和菩萨的功德。道路上设置熏炉，焚烧天上的蜜香，到处摆放着各种鲜花作为供养。’当此时，道路的左侧，含有剧毒的螫虫、蟒蛇、蝮蛇、蚖蛇、蜜蜂、蝎子等各种生物，都立刻消散了毒气，吉祥的野兽和瑞鸟聚集在一起嬉戏飞翔。 那时，濡首被无数百千菩萨众和诸天人围绕护卫，显得特别庄严，光芒无量。就像太阳刚刚从高山之巅升起，又像满月在众星之中，又像须弥山（佛教中的圣山）高出于其他山峰。如同勇猛的狮子从深林中走出，光辉的容颜闪耀着，于是向前走去。刚到城门边，脚刚踏上门槛，整个城市都震动起来。当他进入时，没有不感到惊愕的，所有乐器都自己发出声音，人们都说：‘这是什么吉祥的大变化和瑞应的奇异景象？真是前所未有，难道是佛陀进入城市所感应的吗？’全国上下，无论大小，都感到惊喜，心中充满喜悦和恭敬，有人登上楼阁，有人攀爬墙壁，有人从窗户窥视，有人走出家门，都争先恐后地欢喜，希望看到佛陀的神奇景象。 当时，国王波斯匿（古代印度国王），与王后、美妃、婇女八千人，以及诸位王子、大臣、眷属万人，都围绕着他，怀着喜悦和激动的心情出来迎接。不一会儿，濡首忽然来到，被诸位菩萨和尊贵的天人护卫着，具备大人相（佛陀的三十二相）和各种美好的特征，金色的容颜和圣洁的仪容，见到的人都感到喜悦，无不向前礼拜。前来的人群中，有人散花，有人...

English version: The town kings, the sun and moon deities, and various dragons, ghosts, and spirits, each with their retinues, also arrived swiftly. Shakyamuni, along with the Four Heavenly Kings, had a shared thought: 'Now, the pure youth Nuru-shou (referring to the Buddha's childhood form), along with countless Bodhisattvas and venerable deities, is about to enter Shravasti (an ancient Indian city) and manifest great miracles. The path leading to Shravasti should be completely leveled, without any unevenness. Seven jeweled trees should be arranged on both sides of the road, and between each tree, there should be seven jade maidens, each showing half of their bodies, performing songs and dances. These maidens should have gentle and charming appearances, with radiant faces, eyes like bright pearls, dignified and beautiful, using clear and beautiful voices to sing praises of Nuru-shou's great auspicious blessings, as well as the pure and virtuous qualities of the Bodhisattvas. Incense burners should be placed along the road, burning heavenly honey incense, and various flowers should be placed everywhere as offerings.' At that time, on the left side of the road, all kinds of poisonous insects, pythons, vipers, snakes, bees, scorpions, and other creatures, immediately dissipated their venom, and auspicious beasts and birds gathered together, playing and flying. At that time, Nuru-shou was surrounded and protected by countless hundreds of thousands of Bodhisattvas and deities, appearing particularly majestic and radiating immeasurable light. It was like the sun just rising from the peak of a high mountain, or like the full moon among the stars, or like Mount Sumeru (a sacred mountain in Buddhism) towering above other mountains. Like a fierce lion emerging from a deep forest, his radiant face shone brightly, and he proceeded forward. Just as he reached the city gate and his foot stepped on the threshold, the entire city shook. When he entered, everyone was astonished, and all the musical instruments began to play on their own. People said, 'What is this auspicious great change and miraculous sign? It is truly unprecedented. Could it be a response to the Buddha entering the city?' The whole country, both high and low, felt joy and excitement, their hearts filled with happiness and reverence. Some climbed onto towers, some scaled walls, some peered through windows, and some came out of their homes, all vying to rejoice and hoping to witness the Buddha's miraculous manifestations. At that time, King Prasenajit (an ancient Indian king), along with his queen, beautiful concubines, and eight thousand palace women, as well as his princes, ministers, and ten thousand family members, all surrounded him, and with joyful and excited hearts, they came out to greet him. In a short while, Nuru-shou suddenly arrived, protected by the Bodhisattvas and venerable deities, possessing the marks of a great man (the thirty-two marks of the Buddha) and all kinds of beautiful features. His golden face and sacred appearance brought joy to all who saw him, and they all bowed in reverence. Among the crowd that came, some scattered flowers, some... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

烧妙香，或散衣宝。检心恭向，瞻睹无量。于是濡首遂前入城，诸尊菩萨、有势天神，佥然恭肃追随所旋，观见神变又欲禀受道诲故也。 尔时于是龙首菩萨，见其濡首童真菩萨为无数众而所围绕，堂堂祥仪并共入城。曰：“族姓子！为所之耶？”濡首菩萨答龙首曰：“吾适此城欲行分卫，多所愍念广其慧利，为拯世众一切天人，度义故现行分卫耳。普为诸众成大导故。” 龙首问曰：“云何，濡首！仁尊于今分卫想未断耶？”曰：“族姓子！吾断矣。于有见分卫想行者，至于无见无断不断，斯谓菩萨清净分卫。所以者何？若此，龙首！一切诸法无断不断，譬如虚空无断不断。以是言之，为不可断。普悉是世、尽魔梵界，一切众寂及诸梵志、王与庶民，亦无能断也。何则？龙首！以其诸法若如虚空，本无所有，无起无动，无持无获。空本无获，亦无所持，亦不可得。以要言之，一切众类及世余法、外邪杂术，悉无所有，无持无得亦无能获。诸法如此，皆不可得，亦不可持，以本空故，故不可断。” “云何，濡首！菩萨摩诃萨当与诸魔为敌耶？”答曰：“龙首！法本无诤，不见菩萨当与诸魔而有战者。若其菩萨与魔为敌，起见法想而有所诤，是菩萨便为恐怯。何则然者？以彼菩萨自兴恐弱也。譬如 现代汉语译本 焚烧美妙的香，或者散布衣物珍宝。收敛心神恭敬地朝向，瞻仰无量（指佛陀的无量功德）。于是濡首（菩萨名）整理衣冠，走入城中，诸位尊贵的菩萨、有权势的天神，都恭敬地跟随着他，观看他的神变，又想接受他的教诲。 这时，龙首菩萨（菩萨名）看见濡首童真菩萨被无数大众围绕，仪态庄严地一同进入城中。问道：‘族姓子（对出身高贵者的尊称）！你这是要去哪里？’濡首菩萨回答龙首说：‘我来到这座城，是想进行乞食，为了怜悯众生，广增他们的智慧和利益，为了拯救世间一切天人，为了度化众生而示现乞食。普遍地为了让众生成为伟大的引导者。’ 龙首问道：‘怎么样，濡首！你现在对于乞食的执着还没有断除吗？’濡首说：‘族姓子！我已经断除了。对于有见（执着于有）的乞食想法而行乞的人，最终会达到无见（不执着于有）无断（不执着于断）不断（不执着于不断）的境界，这才是菩萨清净的乞食。为什么这样说呢？因为，龙首！一切诸法都是无断无不断的，就像虚空一样无断无不断。从这个意义上说，是不可断的。普遍地，整个世间、整个魔界和梵界，一切寂静的众生以及婆罗门、国王和百姓，也没有谁能够断除它。为什么呢？龙首！因为一切诸法都像虚空一样，本来就什么都没有，没有生起，没有动摇，没有执持，没有获得。空性本来就没有获得，也没有执持，也是不可得的。总而言之，一切众生以及世间其他法、外道邪术，都是什么都没有，没有执持，没有获得，也没有能获得者。诸法就是这样，都是不可得的，也是不可执持的，因为本来就是空性的，所以不可断。’ ‘怎么样，濡首！菩萨摩诃萨应当与诸魔为敌吗？’答道：‘龙首！法本来就没有争论，看不见菩萨会与诸魔发生战斗。如果菩萨与魔为敌，生起执着于法的想法而有所争论，这个菩萨就会感到恐惧和怯懦。为什么会这样呢？因为这个菩萨自己产生了恐惧和软弱。譬如’
