多。天中天！无央数劫中常当生盲，又泥犁火烧之难竟。” 佛语阿难：“我故语汝殷勤嘱累。假使有人诽谤、禁止一人不得为此法，罪逾于彼。” 阿难又问：“若复有人发求大道，狐疑是经亦不诽谤，罪何所趣？” 佛言：“其人发意前后狐疑若干之数，常当违远诸佛世尊；随其疑数，又从疑数更若干劫乖阔道教。” 阿难白佛：“若不信喜、禁止众人令不学之，其人受殃身大小、如受罪多少？” 佛言：“且止，阿难！用是问为？” 阿难白佛：“愿世尊演说。此四辈中或有尔者，及当来世边地之土诸大国人闻是经法多有疑者，当令信解不复诽谤。” 佛言：“其人身当长一万垓，周遍勤苦毒痛，不可计之。” 阿难问佛言：“其舌大小？” 佛言：“其舌广长各四万里，驾犁耕舌五百亿载，各五百亿岁当吞销铜，其火焰赫，及雨身上烧炙缹煮。所以者何？此不护舌之所致也。” 于是四辈诸来众会衣毛皆竖，泪出而惧，颠倒躄地，同时举声求哀悔过：“当为是善男子、善女人请救其罪，乃当毒痛若干之恼，其身长大，苦不可言。” 复有余人其泪流面前，白佛言：“不能自察今世、后世，心起狐疑。今现佛前及违十方诸佛世尊经籍之教 现代汉语译本： “世尊！如果有人诽谤这部经，会怎么样呢？”佛陀回答说：“阿难，如果有人诽谤这部经，他将在无数劫中一直都是盲人，并且会遭受地狱火焰焚烧的无尽痛苦。” 佛陀告诉阿难：“所以我才如此殷勤地嘱咐你。如果有人诽谤或阻止一个人修习此法，他的罪过将比上述的还要严重。” 阿难又问：“如果有人发心追求大道，但对这部经心存疑虑，却不诽谤，那他的罪过又将如何呢？” 佛陀说：“这个人发心后，前后产生若干次疑虑，他将永远远离诸佛世尊；随着他疑虑的次数，他将再经历若干劫与佛法教诲相违背。” 阿难问佛：“如果有人不相信、不欢喜，还阻止其他人学习这部经，这个人所受的灾殃，身体的大小和所受的罪过有多少呢？” 佛陀说：“阿难，先别问这个问题。” 阿难对佛说：“愿世尊为我们演说。这四种人中或许有人是这样，以及未来边远地区的大国人民，听到这部经法后会有很多疑惑，应当让他们相信理解，不再诽谤。” 佛陀说：“那人的身体将长到一万垓（垓：古代数量单位，一万万亿），周身遭受勤苦毒痛，无法计算。” 阿难问佛：“他的舌头有多大呢？” 佛陀说：“他的舌头宽长各四万里，用犁耕舌五百亿年，每五百亿年吞食铜汁，火焰炽热，雨点般落在身上烧烤。这是为什么呢？这是因为他不守护自己的舌头所导致的。” 这时，在场的四众弟子都毛发竖立，流着眼泪，感到恐惧，跌倒在地，同时大声哀求忏悔：“我们应当为这些善男子、善女人请求救赎他们的罪过，他们将遭受如此剧烈的痛苦，身体如此巨大，苦不堪言。” 还有一些人泪流满面，对佛说：“我们不能自省今生和来世，心中产生疑虑。现在在佛前以及违背十方诸佛世尊的经籍教诲。”

English version: ‘World Honored One! What will happen if someone slanders this sutra?’ The Buddha replied, ‘Ananda, if someone slanders this sutra, they will be blind for countless kalpas and will suffer endless torment from the fires of hell.’ The Buddha told Ananda, ‘That is why I am so earnestly instructing you. If someone slanders or prevents another person from practicing this Dharma, their sin will be even greater than the aforementioned.’ Ananda then asked, ‘If someone aspires to the Great Path but harbors doubts about this sutra without slandering it, what will be the consequences of their sin?’ The Buddha said, ‘After this person has made the aspiration, they will have doubts numerous times, and they will forever be distant from all Buddhas and World Honored Ones; according to the number of their doubts, they will spend many kalpas in opposition to the Buddha's teachings.’ Ananda asked the Buddha, ‘If someone does not believe, does not rejoice, and also prevents others from learning this sutra, how great will be the calamity they suffer, how large will their body be, and how much sin will they bear?’ The Buddha said, ‘Ananda, let us not discuss this question for now.’ Ananda said to the Buddha, ‘May the World Honored One explain it for us. Among these four types of people, there may be some who are like this, and in the future, people in the great countries of remote regions, upon hearing this sutra, will have many doubts. We should enable them to believe and understand, and no longer slander it.’ The Buddha said, ‘That person’s body will grow to be ten thousand *gai* (an ancient unit of measurement, one hundred trillion), and they will suffer immeasurable pain and torment.’ Ananda asked the Buddha, ‘How large will their tongue be?’ The Buddha said, ‘Their tongue will be forty thousand *li* (a Chinese unit of distance) in width and length. They will plow their tongue for five hundred billion years, and every five hundred billion years, they will swallow molten copper. The flames will be intense, and it will rain down on their body, burning and scorching them. Why is this? It is because they did not guard their tongue.’ At this time, the four assemblies present all had their hair standing on end, tears streaming down their faces, and they were filled with fear. They fell to the ground and simultaneously cried out, begging for repentance: ‘We should ask for the salvation of these good men and good women from their sins. They will suffer such intense pain, their bodies will be so large, and their suffering will be indescribable.’ There were also others with tears streaming down their faces, who said to the Buddha, ‘We cannot examine ourselves in this life and the next, and doubts arise in our hearts. Now, before the Buddha, we have violated the teachings of the sutras of all Buddhas and World Honored Ones in the ten directions.’ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

，阴盖所覆不自见过。今悉自归佛前，首罪不敢覆藏，惟佛原之。譬如愚騃无知之人，乖其理政，自睹罪咎。惟佛大哀，愿见原赦。” 佛告四辈：“善哉，善哉。族姓子、族姓女疑于是法，观己过罪，悔彼殃衅，犹日除冥。” 尔时，阿难前白佛言：“今此众会志怀狐疑，亦当复获如此罪耶？” 佛言：“阿难！虽怀狐疑，今复悔过，是辈之罪，犹当轻微。” 阿难又问：“愿佛说之。” 佛言：“临寿终时，遭地狱痛。一一毛孔，当更无数，不可计患，犹是余息。所以者何？在于佛前舍疑悔过，加及十方无数诸佛哀施恩德。是故，阿难！善男子、善女人当自察之，得身如此，遭无量痛。闻是经卷欢喜，不当狐疑。其不欲舍佛法圣众、去来今佛圣法之教，当信是经，持讽诵读。” 阿惟越致遮经嘱累品第十八 贤者阿难白世尊曰：“诸佛大圣悉等同一说不退轮乎？” 佛言：“如是，等无有异。” 阿难问佛：“假使诸佛同等讲不退轮，何因大圣向者说言：‘假使有人不欲违远佛法圣众、佛所兴显去来今佛，不当远离此经之卷。’？” 阿难又问：“佛说法何所光兴？” 佛言：“不退轮众，为显佛法，合集聚会。不退转种，如来所演也。” 现代汉语译本：'被阴暗的遮盖所覆盖，不能自己看到自己的过错。现在都归顺于佛前，承认罪过不敢隐瞒，只求佛的原谅。譬如愚昧无知的人，违背了治理的道理，自己看到了罪过。只求佛的大慈大悲，希望能够得到原谅赦免。' 佛告诉四众弟子：'好啊，好啊。善男子、善女人如果对这个法有疑惑，观察自己的过错罪行，忏悔那些灾祸，就像太阳驱散黑暗一样。' 这时，阿难向前对佛说：'现在这个集会中的人心中怀有疑惑，也会得到这样的罪过吗？' 佛说：'阿难！虽然怀有疑惑，现在又忏悔过错，这些人的罪过，应当会减轻。' 阿难又问：'希望佛能详细说说。' 佛说：'临终的时候，会遭受地狱的痛苦。每一个毛孔，都会经历无数的，不可计算的痛苦，这还是余下的报应。为什么呢？因为在佛前舍弃疑惑忏悔过错，加上十方无数诸佛的慈悲恩德。所以，阿难！善男子、善女人应当自己反省，得到这样的身体，遭受无量的痛苦。听到这部经卷欢喜，不应当有疑惑。那些不想舍弃佛法僧三宝、过去现在未来诸佛的教诲的人，应当相信这部经，受持讽诵。' 《阿惟越致遮经》（Avivartika-cakra Sutra，不退转法轮经）嘱累品第十八 贤者阿难对世尊说：'诸佛大圣都同样宣说不退转法轮吗？' 佛说：'是的，完全相同，没有差异。' 阿难问佛：'假使诸佛都同样讲说不退转法轮，为什么大圣您之前说：‘假使有人不想违背佛法僧三宝、佛所兴显的过去现在未来诸佛，就不应当远离这部经卷。’？' 阿难又问：'佛说法是为了光大什么？' 佛说：'不退转的众生，是为了彰显佛法，聚集在一起。不退转的种子，是如来所演说的。'

English version: 'Covered by the darkness of ignorance, they cannot see their own faults. Now, they all take refuge before the Buddha, confessing their sins without concealment, only seeking the Buddha's forgiveness. It is like a foolish and ignorant person, who has violated the principles of governance, and sees their own faults. They only seek the Buddha's great compassion, hoping to be forgiven and pardoned.' The Buddha told the four assemblies: 'Excellent, excellent. If sons and daughters of good families have doubts about this Dharma, observe their own faults and sins, and repent of those calamities, it is like the sun dispelling darkness.' At that time, Ananda stepped forward and said to the Buddha: 'Now, will those in this assembly who harbor doubts also receive such sins?' The Buddha said: 'Ananda! Although they harbor doubts, if they now repent of their faults, the sins of these people should be lessened.' Ananda asked again: 'May the Buddha explain this in detail.' The Buddha said: 'At the time of death, they will suffer the pains of hell. Every pore will experience countless, immeasurable pains, and this is still the remaining retribution. Why is this? Because they have abandoned doubts and repented of their faults before the Buddha, and have received the compassionate grace of countless Buddhas in the ten directions. Therefore, Ananda! Sons and daughters of good families should reflect on themselves, having obtained such a body, they suffer immeasurable pain. Upon hearing this scripture, they should rejoice and not have doubts. Those who do not wish to abandon the Three Jewels (Buddha, Dharma, Sangha), and the teachings of the Buddhas of the past, present, and future, should believe in this scripture, uphold it, recite it, and read it.' Chapter 18, 'Entrustment' of the Avivartika-cakra Sutra (Sutra of the Non-retrogressing Wheel) The Venerable Ananda said to the World Honored One: 'Do all the great Buddhas equally proclaim the non-retrogressing wheel?' The Buddha said: 'Yes, they are completely the same, without any difference.' Ananda asked the Buddha: 'If all the Buddhas equally preach the non-retrogressing wheel, why did the Great Sage previously say: “If there are those who do not wish to turn away from the Three Jewels, and the Buddhas of the past, present, and future manifested by the Buddha, they should not distance themselves from this scripture”?' Ananda asked again: 'What does the Buddha's teaching illuminate?' The Buddha said: 'The assembly of non-retrogressing beings is to manifest the Dharma, gathering together. The seed of non-retrogression is what the Tathagata has expounded.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

阿难又曰：“诸不退转菩萨大士应圣众乎？” 佛言：“阿难！清净正意，发大道心。观察此意，是辈皆应不退转众。” 阿难白佛：“至未尝有。诸佛世尊善权方便，随时之义显扬大道。” 尔时，天帝释即以天华散于佛上而叹颂曰：“令一切人承善权方便演说经籍。” 佛言：“拘翼！其闻是经欢喜信者，此辈之人犹当以此善权方便说法开化，多所发起，亦复如我，等无有异。” 尔时，有无数诸天之众皆以天华供养世尊，俱说斯言：“令一切人逮得此法。” 阿难白佛：“惟愿世尊建立大慈，令是经卷后世人蒙之。” 佛告阿难：“善男子、善女人来在此会，后世必值得是经卷。假使差跌在大海中，应得是经，毕当闻之。所以者何？过去诸佛之所神变，摄是经法。” 阿难白佛：“虽为过去诸佛威神，亦复现在今者如来、至真、等正觉之所建立也。”说是语时，三千大千世界六返震动。应时佛前无央数亿百千之华，众宝莲华自然涌出，普光众会各照十方恒沙等国。尔时，会者遍见十方恒沙等刹佛世尊前有宝莲华亿百千叶，无不达者也。 时天帝释自变其形，作长者身，擎若干等华分布四辈，而说此言：“愿持此华已，散如来、至真、等正觉， 现代汉语译本 阿难又问：‘那些不退转的菩萨大士，应该属于圣众吗？’ 佛说：‘阿难！心怀清净正念，发起追求大道的心。观察他们的心意，这些人都是不退转的圣众。’ 阿难对佛说：‘真是前所未有啊！诸佛世尊善用权巧方便，随时随地阐扬大道。’ 这时，天帝释（Indra，天神之王）便将天花散在佛的身上，并赞颂道：‘愿一切众生都能承蒙佛陀善巧方便的教导，演说经籍。’ 佛说：‘拘翼（Kausika，天帝释的别名）！那些听闻此经而欢喜信受的人，这些人也应当用这种善巧方便的说法来开导教化众生，多多启发他们的觉悟，他们也像我一样，没有任何差别。’ 这时，有无数的天众都用天花供养世尊，一同说道：‘愿一切众生都能获得此法。’ 阿难对佛说：‘惟愿世尊发大慈悲，让这部经卷能够利益后世的人们。’ 佛告诉阿难：‘善男子、善女人来到这个法会，后世必定能够值遇这部经卷。即使他们漂流在大海中，也应该能够得到这部经，最终会听闻到它。这是为什么呢？因为过去诸佛的神力加持，摄持了这部经法。’ 阿难对佛说：‘虽然是过去诸佛的威神之力，也是现在如来、至真、等正觉（Tathagata, Satya, Samyak-sambuddha，佛的称号）所建立的。’说完这话时，三千大千世界（Trisahasra-Mahasahasra-lokadhatu，佛教宇宙观中的一个世界系统）六次震动。当时，佛前涌现出无数亿百千的华，各种宝莲花自然涌出，普照法会，各自照耀十方恒河沙数般的国土。那时，法会中的人们都看到十方恒河沙数般的佛刹，在佛世尊前有亿百千叶的宝莲花，没有谁看不到的。 这时，天帝释自己变化形貌，变成一位长者的样子，拿着各种各样的花，分发给四众弟子，并说道：‘愿拿着这些花，散给如来、至真、等正觉，’
