欲,不兴邪想,受此经本,持讽诵读。所以者何?是深尊经,除女尘色。” 又问:“假使女人不愿其身,受此经法,持讽诵读。以何因缘转女像耶?” 佛言:“欲转女身,受此经籍,持讽诵读,不愿女人,常畏秽之。譬如有人见大炽火自投其中,而口说言:‘莫令火烧,无使伤肌。’于童女意云何?彼人言尔,宁得愿乎?” 答曰:“不得。天中之天!所以者何?计于火种主有所烧,烂坏肌肉不得无伤。” 佛言:“如是。此经亦然,烧尽尘埃爱欲无余。设使贪着情欲之态,累世自危。是故女人欲转是身,速当究竟成于圣道、见无央数诸佛世尊、备无量辩,当受此经持讽诵读。” 私休童女及五百人俱白佛言:“吾等省念。世尊!往古从定光佛如来、至真、等正觉受此经本,持讽诵读,为无量亿百千之众演说其义。” 阿难白佛:“此私休身虽为女人,则非女也。所以者何?今吾最后而目察睹,私休童女示现变化乃如是乎。愍伤女人欲以度脱,摄诸男子不见处所,以是感动化众女人。” 佛言:“阿难!其私休者,非男非女,无有此法。所以者何?观诸法本,不得男子、亦无女人,一切诸法皆无可获,等不差特。所以者何?如是计之,非男非女。私休童女分别此经, 现代汉语译本:如果想要不生起邪念,接受这部经书,受持讽诵,是因为这部深奥尊贵的经典,能够去除女性的尘垢和色欲。 又问:‘如果女人不执着于自己的女性身体,接受这部经法,受持讽诵,凭借什么因缘可以转变女性的形象呢?’ 佛说:‘想要转变女性身体,接受这部经书,受持讽诵,不希望成为女人,常常畏惧污秽。譬如有人看见熊熊燃烧的大火,却自己投身其中,口中还说:‘不要让火烧到我,不要让它伤害我的肌肤。’你认为,对于这个童女来说,那个人说这样的话,能够如愿吗?’ 回答说:‘不能。天中之天(佛的尊称)!为什么呢?因为火种必然会烧毁东西,烧烂肌肉,不可能不受伤害。’ 佛说:‘是的。这部经书也是这样,能够烧尽尘埃和爱欲,不留一丝残余。如果贪恋情欲的状态,就会累世处于危险之中。所以女人想要转变这个身体,应当迅速究竟成就圣道,见到无数诸佛世尊,具备无量的辩才,应当接受这部经书,受持讽诵。’ 私休(一位童女的名字)童女和五百人一起对佛说:‘我们回忆起,世尊!过去从定光佛(过去佛的名字)如来、至真、等正觉那里接受这部经书,受持讽诵,为无量亿百千的大众演说其中的含义。’ 阿难(佛的十大弟子之一)对佛说:‘这位私休虽然是女人,但实际上已经不是女人了。为什么呢?现在我最后一次亲眼看到,私休童女所展现的变化竟然是这样的。她怜悯伤感女人,想要度脱她们,摄受那些看不见她所在之处的男子,因此感动教化了众多女人。’ 佛说:‘阿难!这位私休,非男非女,没有这种说法。为什么呢?观察诸法的本性,既没有男子,也没有女人,一切诸法都是不可获得的,平等没有差别。为什么呢?像这样看待,就既不是男人也不是女人。私休童女分别解说这部经书,'

English version: If one desires to not give rise to evil thoughts, to receive this scripture, to uphold, recite, and read it, it is because this profound and venerable scripture can remove the defilements and desires of women. Again, it was asked: 'If a woman does not cling to her female body, receives this scripture, upholds, recites, and reads it, by what cause and condition can she transform her female form?' The Buddha said: 'If one desires to transform their female body, receives this scripture, upholds, recites, and reads it, does not wish to be a woman, and is constantly fearful of impurity, it is like a person who sees a great blazing fire and throws themselves into it, while saying, “Do not let the fire burn me, do not let it harm my skin.” What do you think, for that maiden, would that person's words come true?' The answer was: 'No, Lord of the Heavens (a title for the Buddha)! Why? Because the fire will inevitably burn things, rot the flesh, and it is impossible to not be harmed.' The Buddha said: 'It is so. This scripture is also like that, it can burn away all defilements and desires, leaving nothing behind. If one clings to the state of desire, they will be in danger for many lifetimes. Therefore, if a woman wishes to transform this body, she should quickly and ultimately achieve the holy path, see countless Buddhas, possess immeasurable eloquence, and should receive this scripture, uphold, recite, and read it.' The maiden Suxiu (a maiden's name) and five hundred others together said to the Buddha: 'We recall, Lord! In the past, from the Tathagata, the Truly Enlightened One, Samyak-sambuddha Dipankara Buddha (name of a past Buddha), we received this scripture, upheld, recited, and read it, and explained its meaning to countless millions of beings.' Ananda (one of the Buddha's ten great disciples) said to the Buddha: 'Although this Suxiu is a woman, she is actually no longer a woman. Why? Now, for the last time, I have seen with my own eyes that the transformation shown by the maiden Suxiu is like this. She pities and feels sorrow for women, wishing to liberate them, and attracts those men who cannot see where she is, thus moving and teaching many women.' The Buddha said: 'Ananda! This Suxiu is neither male nor female, there is no such concept. Why? Observing the nature of all dharmas, there is neither male nor female, all dharmas are unattainable, equal and without difference. Why? When viewed in this way, one is neither male nor female. The maiden Suxiu explains this scripture,' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

无所挂碍,逮得法明。是故,阿难!若有女人欲求男子,当顺私休修行之法,受是经卷持讽诵读。” 尔时,五百比丘尼前白佛言:“吾等之类,从今日始,受是经本,持讽诵读。不乐女人,秽厌此身。从今以往,不复座寐,讽诵此经,通利乃定。” 时佛赞曰:“善哉!是之所说讽诵斯言,被大德铠通达精进,不慕女像。是故,仁者!益加勤修,受此经本,持讽诵读。” 时比丘尼闻佛所说欣然大悦,即脱身衣以覆佛上,而叹颂曰: “我今日得乐, 望为男子身, 正觉言无异, 必获世上尊。” 于是,五百长者妻闻比丘尼被是德铠,即从座起前白佛言:“唯天中天!吾从今始,受此经卷,持讽诵读。愿令我等获得自在,不系缀人、莫察他颜,离于魔使难固之患。所以者何?正使女人生于王家,则有所属不得自在,尽其形寿给事夫婿。是故我等今日始遵精进。假使有人说此经中一句之义,不敢诽谤,至穷命尽不近夫婿,令我等读解此经。” 于时世尊赞长者妻言:“善哉,善哉!是女人等今于佛前大师子吼,此言甚佳被无极铠。如人所志不察他颜、不负重担十月怀躯、亦不加遭而入胞胎。所生佛国清净佛土,无女人处,莫有瘕疵。” 阿难问佛:“此诸姊等所生 现代汉语译本: 无所挂碍,便能获得对法理的明悟。因此,阿难(Ananda,佛陀的十大弟子之一)!如果有女人想要转为男子,应当遵循私休(Sihxiu,一种修行方法)的修行之法,接受这部经卷,持诵研读。 当时,五百位比丘尼(Bhiksuni,佛教女性出家修行者)走到佛前禀告说:‘我们从今天开始,接受这部经书,持诵研读。不再贪恋女身,厌恶这个身体的污秽。从今以后,不再躺卧睡眠,而是诵读这部经书,通达理解后才休息。’ 这时,佛陀赞叹说:‘好啊!你们所说的诵读这些话语,披上大德的铠甲,通达精进,不羡慕女子的形象。因此,你们各位!更加勤奋修行,接受这部经书,持诵研读。’ 当时,比丘尼们听到佛陀所说,欢喜踊跃,立即脱下身上的衣服覆盖在佛陀身上,并赞叹道:‘我今天感到快乐,希望转为男子之身,正觉(Sammasambuddha,佛陀的称号)所说没有虚妄,必定能获得世上的尊贵。’ 于是,五百位长者(长者,指有德望的富人)的妻子听到比丘尼们披上了这样的德行铠甲,就从座位上站起来走到佛前禀告说:‘世尊(Bhagavat,佛陀的称号)!我们从今天开始,接受这部经卷,持诵研读。愿我们能够获得自在,不被他人束缚,不看他人脸色,远离魔的使者难以攻破的祸患。为什么呢?即使女人出生在王家,也会有所归属而不得自在,终其一生都要服侍丈夫。因此,我们今天开始遵循精进修行。假使有人能说出这部经中的一句含义,我们也不敢诽谤,直到生命终结也不会亲近丈夫,让我们能够读懂这部经。’ 这时,世尊赞叹长者妻们说:‘好啊,好啊!这些女人今天在佛前发出大师子吼(Simhanada,比喻佛陀说法时的威猛),这些话语非常好,披上了无上的铠甲。如同你们所立下的志向,不看他人脸色,不背负十月怀胎的重担,也不再经历入胎的过程。所生的佛国是清净的佛土,没有女人,没有瑕疵。’ 阿难问佛:‘这些姊妹们所生的

English version: Without any hindrance, one attains the clarity of Dharma. Therefore, Ananda! If there is a woman who desires to become a man, she should follow the practice of Sihxiu, accept this scripture, and uphold it by reciting and reading it. At that time, five hundred Bhikshunis (Buddhist nuns) came before the Buddha and said, 'From today onwards, we accept this scripture, and uphold it by reciting and reading it. We no longer desire the female body, and we detest the impurity of this body. From now on, we will not lie down to sleep, but will recite this scripture, and only rest after we have understood it thoroughly.' Then, the Buddha praised them, saying, 'Excellent! What you have said about reciting these words, putting on the armor of great virtue, understanding and being diligent, and not envying the image of a woman is excellent. Therefore, you all! Be even more diligent in your practice, accept this scripture, and uphold it by reciting and reading it.' At that time, the Bhikshunis, hearing what the Buddha had said, were overjoyed, and immediately took off their clothes and covered the Buddha with them, and praised him, saying, 'Today I feel joy, hoping to be reborn as a man. The words of the Sammasambuddha (the title of the Buddha) are not false, and I will surely attain the honor of the world.' Then, five hundred wives of elders (wealthy and respected people) heard that the Bhikshunis had put on such armor of virtue, and they rose from their seats and came before the Buddha and said, 'Oh, Bhagavat (the title of the Buddha)! From today onwards, we accept this scripture, and uphold it by reciting and reading it. May we attain freedom, not be bound by others, not look at the faces of others, and be free from the troubles of the devil's messengers that are difficult to overcome. Why is this so? Even if a woman is born into a royal family, she will be bound and not free, and will serve her husband for the rest of her life. Therefore, we begin to follow diligent practice today. If someone can explain even one sentence of this scripture, we dare not slander it, and until the end of our lives, we will not be intimate with our husbands, so that we can understand this scripture.' At this time, the World Honored One praised the wives of the elders, saying, 'Excellent, excellent! These women today are making a great lion's roar (Simhanada, a metaphor for the Buddha's powerful teaching) before the Buddha. These words are very good, and you have put on the unsurpassed armor. Just as you have set your minds, you will not look at the faces of others, you will not bear the burden of ten months of pregnancy, and you will not experience the process of entering the womb again. The Buddha-land where you will be born is a pure Buddha-land, where there are no women, and no flaws.' Ananda asked the Buddha, 'Where will these sisters be born?' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 世界,其号云何而无瘕疵?” 佛言:“世界号宝莲华藏,当生彼土。”

又问佛言:“圣号为何如来、至真、等正觉?” 佛言:“佛号一切诸宝妙珍之光如来、至真、等正觉,现在说法。是长者妻学此经籍,见彼如来。” 时长者妻欢喜踊跃善心生矣,即解颈着百千之宝七宝珠璎,以散佛上,同声说偈言: “今日获大望, 当弃女人身, 等觉言无特, 口演至诚语。 当除此愚形, 女人殃罪体, 痴騃志贪着, 不解知本无。 非更于胞胎, 除去所受身, 逮得无上义, 未尝有所处。” 时长者妻说是偈已,瞻仰尊颜,目未尝瞬。 阿惟越致遮经叹法师品第十六 于是,天帝释则取天华已散佛上,而白佛言:“唯然,世尊!吾以奉受此微妙经。” 答曰:“是故拘翼!蒙此经恩,天阿须伦不兴战斗。” 于是,文殊师利欲以开化无数百千人民之众,使立德本,前白佛言:“如来、至真、等正觉本发道意而讽诵此大法之本。” 佛言:“是故,仁者!于不可计百亿那术菩萨最尊光明智圣,普遍十方诸佛之土,犹日宫殿无所不照。”说是语时,此之国土六反震动,遍雨天华。 阿难白佛:“地何故动,而雨 现代汉语译本 ‘这个世界,它的名字是什么,才能没有瑕疵呢?’ 佛说:‘这个世界名为宝莲华藏,你应当往生到那个国土。’ 又问佛:‘圣号为什么是如来(Tathagata,佛的称号之一)、至真(Satya,真理的化身)、等正觉(Samyak-sambuddha,完全觉悟者)呢?’ 佛说:‘佛号为一切诸宝妙珍之光如来、至真、等正觉,现在正在说法。这位长者的妻子学习这部经典,就能见到那位如来。’ 当时,长者的妻子欢喜踊跃,善心生起,立即解下颈上佩戴的价值百千的七宝珠璎,散在佛的身上,并同声说偈: ‘今日获得大希望,应当舍弃女人身,等觉的言语没有虚妄,口中宣说至诚的真理。 应当去除这愚痴的形体,女人是罪恶的身体,痴迷愚昧,贪恋执着,不了解本性是空无。 不再经历胞胎,除去所受的身体,获得无上的真义,未曾有所停留。’ 当时,长者的妻子说完这偈颂后,瞻仰佛的尊容,眼睛没有眨动。 《阿惟越致遮经》叹法师品第十六 这时,天帝释(Indra,天神之王)取来天花散在佛的身上,并对佛说:‘是的,世尊!我将奉受这部微妙的经典。’ 佛回答说:‘因此,拘翼(Kausika,天帝释的别名)!蒙受这部经典的恩惠,天人和阿修罗(Asura,一种好战的神)之间不会发生战斗。’ 这时,文殊师利(Manjusri,智慧的菩萨)为了开化无数百千的人民大众,使他们建立功德的根本,向前对佛说:‘如来、至真、等正觉最初发菩提心(Bodhi-citta,觉悟之心)而讽诵这部大法之本。’ 佛说:‘因此,仁者!在不可计数的百亿那由他(Nayuta,数量单位)菩萨中,最尊贵的光明智慧圣者,普遍照耀十方诸佛的国土,就像太阳宫殿一样无所不照。’说完这话时,这个国土六次震动,遍降天花。 阿难(Ananda,佛陀的十大弟子之一)问佛:‘大地为什么震动,而降下天花呢?’
