如是说十八万亿偈报。菩萨即欢喜，说偈赞曰： “我自生愚痴， 不解上人语， 不知其音法， 反呼未受决。 如今所说偈， 甚深难具陈， 愿发本时意， 与神共参论。” 时太子白佛言：“今诸贤皆尚不解要，以善权方便开解。” 佛即笑，五色光从心口出，十方皆明。阿难白佛：“佛不妄笑，笑必有意。愿闻其说。” 佛语阿难：“汝见大众不？” 阿难答言：“见。” “今是如来问皆具答，各各在十方教化，度恒沙等天人民，皆 现代汉语译本 关于事情，应当用口说出来，想要听真理的人要大声。不了解事情的来龙去脉，说的话也都不明白，指示道路和方法，就像盲人一样。狮子发出巨大的声音，尚且还要用小声呼唤，接受了佛的教诲已经成佛，却不知道礼敬正道。接受教诲拥有国土，也像幻化一样，有相对的事物就做出回应，不再预先思考。见到依附于教导的人，遍及过去、现在、未来，神通广大无所不知，不需要用言语表达。接受教诲处于空无之中，寂静安宁无所作为，常处于禅定而不动摇，细微之处常人无法知晓。开示演说于未发生之时，寂静无所作为，这就是所乐的国土，清净是证悟的根本。不执着于念头和思想，这是快乐安稳的法；显现美好的相貌和光明，这是勤苦修行的体现；弟子和人民，这是进入欲望的浑浊之中，不苦不勤于念头，一切都归于寂灭。 如此说了十八万亿偈颂作为回报。菩萨们听后非常欢喜，用偈颂赞叹道：‘我自从出生就愚痴，不理解上人的话语，不知道其中的道理，反而称呼那些没有接受教诲的人。如今所说的偈颂，非常深奥难以完全陈述，希望能够表达我最初的想法，与神灵共同探讨。’ 这时，太子对佛说：‘现在各位贤者都还不理解要义，请用善巧方便来开解他们。’ 佛陀笑了，五色光芒从心口发出，照亮了十方世界。阿难对佛说：‘佛陀不会无缘无故地笑，笑必定有其深意。希望能够听闻其中的缘由。’ 佛陀对阿难说：‘你看到大众了吗？’ 阿难回答说：‘看到了。’ ‘现在这些如来所问的问题都得到了回答，他们各自在十方世界教化，度化像恒河沙一样多的天人和人民，都’

English version Regarding matters, one should speak them out, and those who wish to hear the truth should do so loudly. If one does not understand the beginning and end of things, their words will also be incomprehensible. To point out the path and method is like a blind person. Even a lion with a great roar still calls out in a small voice. Having received the Buddha's teachings and attained Buddhahood, one does not know to respect the right path. Having received teachings and possessing a kingdom is like an illusion. When there is a corresponding matter, one responds without prior thought. Seeing those who adhere to the teachings, extending through the past, present, and future, with great spiritual powers and knowing everything, there is no need for words. Receiving teachings is in emptiness, peaceful and inactive, always in meditation without wavering, the subtle aspects unknown to ordinary people. To expound and explain before things happen, in stillness and inaction, this is the desired land, purity is the basis of enlightenment. Not clinging to thoughts and ideas, this is the happy and peaceful Dharma; showing beautiful features and light, this is the manifestation of diligent practice; disciples and people, this is entering the turbidity of desires, not suffering or diligently thinking, all return to extinction. Having spoken thus, eighteen hundred trillion verses were given as a reward. The Bodhisattvas were very happy and praised with verses: 'Since birth, I have been foolish, not understanding the words of the superior one, not knowing the principles within, and instead calling those who have not received teachings. The verses spoken now are very profound and difficult to fully express. I hope to express my original intention and discuss it with the divine.' At this time, the prince said to the Buddha: 'Now, all the wise ones still do not understand the essence. Please use skillful means to enlighten them.' The Buddha smiled, and five-colored light emanated from his heart and mouth, illuminating the ten directions. Ananda said to the Buddha: 'The Buddha does not smile without reason; there must be a deep meaning behind the smile. I wish to hear the reason.' The Buddha said to Ananda: 'Do you see the assembly?' Ananda replied: 'I see them.' 'Now, these questions asked by the Tathagata have all been answered. They are each teaching in the ten directions, saving countless beings like the sands of the Ganges, including gods and people, all' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

使作佛。”尔时，自然雨香华七宝覆三千大千刹土，而周匝遍无有空处。 佛语太子：“此法华所解人身之事如是。”尔时，不可计恒沙百千人民皆发无上正真道意，逮无所从生心；无数千声闻皆逮阿惟越致地。 阿难长跪白佛言：“此名何经？云何奉行？” 佛语阿难：“名‘法华三昧——女利行所问解人身散情经要集’。若有男女书写、讽诵读，胜行檀八十劫；若供养对跪拜者，胜菩萨行慈三千亿万劫；若当晓解展转相教，胜供养恒边沙佛；若有一闻是经者，不复更生死勤苦。不信谤者，此人以随末流，未复还本。” 佛语阿难：“嘱累汝法华三昧事，千劫尚不能尽。粗说要谛，受书持奉行，勿得减一字，正书句逗相得。” 太子所从大众开解，各得道慧，皆如上首，起为佛作礼而去。 法华三昧经 现代汉语译本 ‘使他成佛。’当时，天空中自然降下香花和七宝，覆盖了整个三千大千世界（佛教宇宙观中的一个巨大宇宙），周遍无余，没有空隙。 佛陀告诉太子：‘这部《法华经》所阐述的关于人身的道理就是这样。’当时，无数不可计数、如恒河沙数般的百千人民都发起了无上正等正觉（Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi）的意愿，获得了无所从来的心境；无数千声闻（Sravaka，佛陀的弟子）都达到了阿惟越致地（Avaivartika-bhumi，不退转的境界）。 阿难（Ananda，佛陀的十大弟子之一）长跪合掌，向佛陀请示道：‘这部经叫什么名字？我们应当如何奉行？’ 佛陀告诉阿难：‘这部经名为《法华三昧——女利行所问解人身散情经要集》。如果有男女书写、背诵、读诵此经，胜过布施（Dana）八十劫（Kalpa，佛教时间单位）；如果有人供养、对经跪拜，胜过菩萨（Bodhisattva）修行慈悲三千亿万劫；如果有人理解此经并辗转相教，胜过供养恒河沙数般的佛陀；如果有人听闻此经，就不会再受生死轮回的勤苦。不相信并诽谤此经的人，此人将随波逐流，不能返回本源。’ 佛陀告诉阿难：‘我将《法华三昧》的要事嘱托给你，即使经过千劫也说不尽。我只是粗略地说了要点，你要接受、书写、持诵、奉行，不要减少一个字，要正确书写，使句读相得益彰。’ 太子所带领的大众都开悟解脱，各自获得了道慧，都像上首弟子一样，起身向佛陀作礼后离去。 《法华三昧经》

English version 'Making them become Buddhas.' At that time, naturally fragrant flowers and seven treasures rained down, covering the entire three thousand great thousand worlds (a vast universe in Buddhist cosmology), completely filling every space without any emptiness. The Buddha said to the Prince: 'The matter of the human body explained by this Lotus Sutra is like this.' At that time, countless hundreds of thousands of people, as numerous as the sands of the Ganges River, all generated the intention for Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi (supreme perfect enlightenment), attaining a mind that arises from nowhere; countless thousands of Sravakas (Buddha's disciples) all attained the Avaivartika-bhumi (the stage of non-retrogression). Ananda (one of the ten great disciples of the Buddha) knelt down with his palms together and asked the Buddha: 'What is the name of this sutra? How should we uphold it?' The Buddha said to Ananda: 'This sutra is named 'The Samadhi of the Lotus Flower - The Essential Collection of the Sutra on the Question of the Benefit of Women's Practice and the Explanation of the Scattered Emotions of the Human Body'. If there are men or women who write, recite, or read this sutra, it surpasses the merit of giving (Dana) for eighty kalpas (an eon in Buddhist time); if someone makes offerings and bows to the sutra, it surpasses the Bodhisattva's (an enlightened being) practice of compassion for three thousand trillion kalpas; if someone understands this sutra and teaches it to others, it surpasses making offerings to Buddhas as numerous as the sands of the Ganges River; if someone hears this sutra, they will no longer suffer the hardships of birth and death. Those who do not believe and slander this sutra will follow the current and not return to their origin.' The Buddha said to Ananda: 'I entrust to you the matters of the Samadhi of the Lotus Flower, which cannot be fully explained even in a thousand kalpas. I have only briefly spoken of the essentials. You must receive, write, uphold, and practice it, not omitting a single word, and write correctly, making the phrases and pauses harmonious.' The assembly led by the Prince all awakened and were liberated, each attaining the wisdom of the path, all like the foremost disciples, rising to pay homage to the Buddha and then departing.
