尔时，四万二千罗汉皆正意，第七住；八万五千释梵皆逮无所行从生。 六万四千贤女起为佛作礼，住佛前说偈言： “今日女利行， 为我众等说， 闻说佛深法， 令我心开解。 实欲知道德， 皆从何所来？ 聚合众一切， 有何神妙德？ 而致与大众， 莫不惊愕心， 伏意往乐从， 随教之所行。 愿欲求天尊， 愍发起濯众， 至心受大慧， 如来神化现。 应时诸女身， 倒愿去色欲， 便欲作沙门， 佛之知我情。 毕觉诸审谛， 使身如菩萨， 宣佛神道教， 当复转化人。 诸贤大众女， 俱起在佛前， 头面稽首礼， 愿得如佛像。” 佛语诸女：“所说实至心。今欲求所愿，先当报父母，次当复由王，得听可去耳。” 于是，诸女说偈报白言 现代汉语译本 断绝了欲望的海洋，使其彻底干涸，平息了波涛，不再有回流。 返回到本源，彻底清除欲望的居所，使人回归到真正的故乡。 这故乡名为‘无为’（指不造作、自然而然的境界），又号为‘清净堂’（指清净无染的处所）。 那里充满着紫金般的快乐，出入都沐浴在光明之中。 无数如恒河沙数般的佛陀，无不称赞宣说此理。 他们以空性之法，不作戏论，不执着于相，也不追求认识。 即使以大海的深广来比喻，也无法完全表达其深奥。 以广大的智慧开化世人，使他们自然而然地获得安宁。 只是感叹那些贤者，反而不能自我理解， 无缘无故地自我束缚，在幻化中承受报应。 那时，四万二千位罗汉（指已证得阿罗汉果位的修行者）都心意坚定，安住于第七住（指菩萨修行过程中的一个阶段）；八万五千位释梵（指帝释天和梵天）都证得了无所行从生（指不再受生死轮回束缚的境界）。 六万四千位贤女起身向佛陀顶礼，在佛前说偈颂道： ‘今日，我们这些女子有幸修行，请为我们大众宣说， 听闻佛陀深奥的教法，使我们内心得以开悟。 我们真心想知道，一切功德，都是从何而来？ 聚合一切众生，具有何等神妙的功德？ 以至于能使大众，无不感到惊愕， 心悦诚服地跟随，按照教导去修行。 我们愿求天尊（指佛陀），慈悲发起洗涤众生的行动， 至诚接受大智慧，如来所展现的神通变化。 愿我们这些女子，能立即舍弃女身， 便想出家为沙门（指佛教出家修行者），佛陀您知道我们的心意。 彻底觉悟一切真谛，使我们的身形如菩萨一般， 宣扬佛陀的神道教法，将来还要度化他人。 各位贤德的大众女子，都起身在佛前， 头面顶礼，愿能像佛陀一样。’ 佛陀对众女说：‘你们所说都是真心话。现在想要实现愿望，首先应当禀告父母，其次还要得到国王的允许，才能获准出家。’ 于是，众女说偈回复道：

English version The sea of desires is resolved and extinguished, its waves calmed, with no return flow. Returning to the origin, the dwelling of desires is completely cleared, leading people back to their true home. This home is named 'Wuwei' (non-action, a state of naturalness), also called 'Qingjing Tang' (Hall of Purity). There, joy abounds like purple gold, and one is bathed in light upon entering and exiting. Buddhas as numerous as the sands of the Ganges constantly praise and proclaim this truth. They use the Dharma of emptiness, without engaging in idle talk, not clinging to forms, nor seeking recognition. Even the vastness of the ocean is insufficient to fully describe its profundity. With great wisdom, they enlighten the world, allowing people to naturally find peace. It is only lamentable that those wise ones cannot understand themselves, unnecessarily binding themselves, and suffering karmic retribution in illusion. At that time, forty-two thousand Arhats (those who have attained the state of Arhat) were all of firm resolve, dwelling in the seventh stage; eighty-five thousand Shakra and Brahma (referring to deities) all attained the state of no-birth from which there is no return. Sixty-four thousand virtuous women rose and bowed to the Buddha, and spoke in verses before him: 'Today, we women are fortunate to practice, please explain to us all, hearing the profound teachings of the Buddha, so that our hearts may be enlightened. We truly wish to know, from where do all virtues come? What miraculous virtues are possessed by the gathering of all beings? So that they can cause the masses to be amazed, willingly follow and practice according to the teachings. We wish to ask the Honored One (referring to the Buddha), to compassionately initiate the cleansing of all beings, sincerely receiving the great wisdom, the divine transformations manifested by the Tathagata. May we women immediately abandon our female bodies, and wish to become Shramanas (Buddhist monks), O Buddha, you know our hearts. Completely awakening to all truths, may our forms be like Bodhisattvas, proclaiming the divine teachings of the Buddha, and in the future, transforming others. All the virtuous women of the assembly, have risen before the Buddha, bowing their heads to the ground, wishing to be like the Buddha.' The Buddha said to the women: 'What you have said is from your true hearts. Now, if you wish to fulfill your desires, you must first inform your parents, and then obtain permission from the king, before you can be allowed to leave home.' Thereupon, the women replied in verses: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ： “欲愿作沙门， 先当报父母， 次当复由王， 得听可作道。 为道不苦晚， 但当勤开心， 晓解心意本， 一切与同等。 便有决大意， 心解乃至道， 道从解心起， 不住于缚着。 化达观众见， 如复心出生， 从本知本空， 知皆非常苦。 心乱便随流， 所见必有对， 不生善恶想， 尔乃作沙门。”

诸贤女起往至父母所，长跪白父母及大王：“今日受王恩德，来诣佛所。为尊女利行问佛深妙法，欲求无为道、现身及一切。佛为女说本末、生死、苦痛，但为色欲着，不知道德本。缘是无常至，当就三苦勤，愿欲作沙门。愿父母听我作沙门，当得道还度父母。” 父母语诸女：“求自然道，各自见便利，随意所习行。汝曹尚去，我亦随汝去。汝自白语王，得听便自去，用问我为？” 诸女稽首大王前，泪出而言：“人在三界中，苦欲坐色想，不得自在。无常卒至，无有代者，实欲作沙门。并与诸女俱，无为得道者，当还度父母，王愿从本意。” 王语女利行等：“早欲使汝去，随行作沙门，以汝三事未足，是以不遣汝耳。一者、未尽学识诸礼教，二者、常乐未有见苦，三者、口食恣味未有足者。以是故，不欲遣汝耳。若有至 现代汉语译本 ‘如果想要成为沙门（出家修道者），首先应当禀告父母，其次应当得到国王的允许，才能被允许修行。修行不嫌晚，只要努力开启心智，理解心意的根本，明白一切众生都是平等的。这样才能下定决心，理解直至证悟真理，真理是从理解心意开始的，不执着于束缚。教化众生，让他们看到，如同心念的生起，从根本上认识到一切皆空，明白一切都是无常和痛苦的。心念混乱就会随波逐流，所见必然有对立，不产生善恶的分别念，这样才能成为真正的沙门。’ 众位贤女起身前往父母处，长跪禀告父母和大王：‘今日蒙受王恩，来到佛陀处。为了尊贵的女儿们，我向佛陀请教了深奥的佛法，想要寻求无为之道，现世解脱以及利益一切众生。佛陀为我们讲述了本末、生死、苦痛，都是因为执着，不知道道德的根本。因此无常会到来，应当努力修行以脱离三苦，我们想要成为沙门。希望父母允许我们出家，将来得道后会回来度化父母。’ 父母对女儿们说：‘寻求自然之道，各自觉得方便就好，随自己的意愿修行。你们先去吧，我们也会跟随你们去。你们自己去禀告国王，得到允许就自己去吧，何必问我们呢？’ 众位女儿向大王叩首，流着泪说：‘人在三界之中，被苦欲和色想所束缚，不得自在。无常突然降临，没有人可以替代，我们真的想要成为沙门。和众姐妹一起，如果有人证得无为之道，一定会回来度化父母，希望大王能够顺从我们的本意。’ 大王对女利行等人说：‘我早就想让你们去，随你们修行成为沙门，但因为你们三件事没有做到，所以没有让你们去。第一，没有完全学习礼仪教诲；第二，常常享乐没有见过苦难；第三，口腹之欲没有得到满足。因为这些原因，我不想让你们去。如果有人能够做到’

English version 'If you wish to become a Shramana (a renunciate), you must first inform your parents, and then obtain permission from the king to be allowed to practice. It is never too late to practice, but one must diligently open their mind, understand the root of their thoughts, and realize that all beings are equal. Only then can one make a firm resolution, understand and attain the truth. The truth arises from understanding the mind, not clinging to bondage. Educate the masses, let them see, just like the arising of thoughts, from the root recognize that all is empty, and understand that all is impermanent and suffering. A confused mind will drift with the current, and what is seen will inevitably have an opposite. Do not generate thoughts of good or evil, and then you can become a true Shramana.' The virtuous women rose and went to their parents, kneeling and reporting to their parents and the king: 'Today, we have received the king's grace and come to the Buddha's place. For the sake of the noble daughters, we have asked the Buddha about the profound Dharma, seeking the path of non-action, liberation in this life, and the benefit of all beings. The Buddha has told us about the beginning and end, birth and death, and suffering, all because of attachment, not knowing the root of morality. Therefore, impermanence will come, and we should strive to practice to escape the three sufferings. We wish to become Shramanas. We hope our parents will allow us to renounce, and when we attain the path, we will return to liberate our parents.' The parents said to their daughters: 'Seeking the natural path, each of you should do what is convenient, and practice according to your own wishes. You go first, and we will follow you. You should report to the king yourselves, and if you get permission, then go. Why ask us?' The daughters bowed before the king, with tears in their eyes, and said: 'People in the three realms are bound by suffering, desire, and the illusion of form, and cannot be free. Impermanence suddenly arrives, and no one can take their place. We truly wish to become Shramanas. Together with our sisters, if anyone attains the path of non-action, they will surely return to liberate our parents. We hope that the king will follow our original intention.' The king said to the women, including Nilihang: 'I have long wanted to let you go, to follow your practice and become Shramanas, but because you have not fulfilled three things, I have not let you go. First, you have not fully learned the teachings of etiquette; second, you have always enjoyed pleasure and have not seen suffering; third, your desires for food have not been satisfied. Because of these reasons, I do not want to let you go. If someone can achieve' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 意者，便去勿疑。吾亦欲作沙门。”

王即起至佛所，作礼白佛言：“闻说智慧，意甚愿乐。国付太子，身归三尊，给侍左右，并受法教。欲作沙门，求道如佛。” 佛即放光若干种色，其明照十方，地为六反震动。诸天作乐覆满于虚空，散华名宝覆三千大千刹土。天下丘墟皆平，其有大山化为黄金，枯木更生。中有不端正者，皆得愿。树木枯者，皆生条叶，自然风吹，皆歌叹佛功德；生华者，即自堕落，各气到佛所，罗住空中，各说偈赞佛功德： “今蒙圣神力， 得救死复生， 光色还本然， 复实滋道成。 生死淫乱色， 譬于枯木时， 值佛说音声， 还来合本并。 六色沉着瞑， 四色合五欲， 分别法空然， 解道成法行。 为得真定智， 快乐得安宁， 一切皆欢喜， 稽首礼佛足。” 尔时，诸六通及罗汉见华有是说。女利行即化为男子，复为菩萨。一女子作是二化变，众坐莫不欢喜。时一佛刹中无有女人，诸六通道者十万五千人、三万须陀洹皆得阿惟越致；八万六千人及阿那含皆得柔顺法忍；不可计罗汉更发无上正真道意，其有辟支佛行，即如弥勒辈。 王即以国付太子。太子名辩积，拜跪白大王：“王为欲施，子孙之殃，与色身之福 现代汉语译本：‘如果有人想出家，就去吧，不要犹豫。我也想成为沙门（出家人）。’ 国王立刻起身来到佛陀面前，行礼后对佛陀说：‘听闻佛陀宣说智慧，我内心非常欢喜。我愿将国家托付给太子，自己归依佛、法、僧三宝，在佛陀左右侍奉，并接受佛法教诲。我想要成为沙门，像佛陀一样修行求道。’ 佛陀随即放出各种颜色的光芒，光明照耀十方世界，大地发生六种震动。诸天奏响音乐，充满虚空，散布各种花朵和珍宝，覆盖三千大千世界。天下所有丘陵都变得平坦，高山化为黄金，枯木重新生长。其中有不端正的人，都变得端正。枯萎的树木，都长出枝叶，自然风吹动，都在歌颂赞叹佛陀的功德；盛开的花朵，自然飘落，各自带着香气来到佛陀所在之处，罗列在空中，各自说偈赞叹佛陀的功德： ‘如今蒙受圣神之力，得以死而复生，光彩恢复本来的样子，重新滋养道业成就。生死轮回的色身，就像枯木一样，遇到佛陀的音声教诲，又重新恢复本来的样子。六根沉溺于黑暗，四色（指地、水、火、风）与五欲（指色、声、香、味、触）相合，分别法性本空，理解道义成就修行。为了获得真正的禅定智慧，快乐而得安宁，一切众生都欢喜，稽首礼拜佛陀的足。’ 当时，具有六神通的修行者和阿罗汉看到花朵有这样的说法。女性修行者立即化为男子，又化为菩萨。一个女子做出这两种变化，在座的人没有不欢喜的。当时，在一个佛刹中没有女人，具有六神通的修行者有十五万人，三万须陀洹（初果圣者）都证得阿惟越致（不退转地）；八万六千人和阿那含（三果圣者）都证得柔顺法忍；不可计数的阿罗汉都发起了无上正等正觉的道心，那些修辟支佛行的人，都像弥勒菩萨一样。 国王随即把国家托付给太子。太子名叫辩积，跪拜对国王说：‘大王您是为了布施，还是为了子孙的灾祸，以及色身的福报？’
