English version Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling on Vulture Peak (Gṛdhrakūṭa) in Rājagṛha, together with a large assembly of great monks (bhikṣu), including sixty thousand monks, eighty billion bodhisattvas, and six million lay devotees (upāsaka) from the kingdom of Magadha. In the final year before his parinirvāṇa, the Buddha arrived in Rājagṛha at the beginning of the new year. At that time, the World-Honored One entered the samādhi of suchness, adorning this three-thousand-great-thousand world (trisāhasra-mahāsāhasra-lokadhātu) with hanging banners and flags, erecting various jeweled canopies, scattering flowers, burning incense, and spreading lotus flowers with hundreds of thousands of petals. Countless Brahma kings (brahmā) from the three-thousand-great-thousand world, each with countless billions of attendants, came to the place where the Buddha was, bowed at his feet, retreated to one side, and joined their palms in reverence. The pure abode (Śuddhāvāsa) gods of this great thousand world, the majestic and powerful great divine heavenly kings, the dragon kings (nāgarāja), the yaksha kings (yakṣarāja), the asura kings (asurarāja), the garuda kings (garuḍarāja), the kinnara kings (kiṃnararāja), and the mahoraga kings (mahoragarāja), each with countless billions of attendants, came to the place where the Buddha was, bowed at his feet, retreated to one side, and joined their palms in reverence. From the Buddha worlds in the ten directions, as numerous as the sands of the Ganges River, the holy, extraordinary, majestic, and noble bodhisattva mahāsattvas came to the place where the Buddha was, bowed at his feet, moved to one side, and joined their palms in reverence. Those who came to the assembly at that time filled this three-thousand-great-thousand world, reaching up to the thirty-two heavens of the upper realm, without any gaps—not even a staff could be inserted, nor a needle could enter—they were extremely dense. The great divine limitless heavens, dragons, yakshas, gods, asuras, garudas, kinnaras, and mahoragas each stood, gazing upon the Buddha's honored face. Their forms were different, but their minds were the same, having abandoned their respective causes and conditions, and with equal minds, they took refuge in the Buddha. At this time, the World-Honored One calmly and serenely arose from samādhi, and looked around three times. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

观察诸来众会。三返观已,三返自察师子频申。三频申已,三返出舌。三出舌已,三返以舌覆三千大千世界,靡不周遍,光明煌煌照于十方。于是,大圣还缩其舌,重复顾眄诸来会者。诸来会者佥然起住,稽首作礼自归命佛。 尔时,世尊告于弥勒菩萨大士:“阿逸!仁识知之,正觉不久当取灭度。欲有所问,今是其时,应宜咨请。诸有疑结、志不解者,前质如来,无得后悔:‘面值大圣,何不决之?’” 弥勒菩萨前白佛言:“世尊知时,明彻六通诸度无极,靡不宣畅决一切疑。善哉,世尊!随时便宜颁宣经道,令斯法目永得久存。” 于是,大神妙天王与八十亿净居天人营从围绕,行诣佛所。稽首足下,叉手自归,前白佛言:“唯然,世尊!今斯经典其号名曰济诸方等学,过去诸佛、如来、至真、等正觉之所讲说。今日大圣惟当垂哀,重为散意,多所愍哀、多所安隐,使如来法训诲久存。” 时佛默然,可大神妙天王所启。天王见佛默然可已,退住一面。 尔时,世尊告弥勒菩萨:“阿逸当知,诸过去如来、至真、等正觉无不讲说此济诸方等经典之要;当来、现在十方世界如来至真皆亦说是。其不宣斯,谤佛、违经、毁诸圣众。所以者何?若说此经有无益想、谓不备悉,为诽谤佛 现代汉语译本:佛陀观察在场的所有听众。三次观察之后,三次像狮子一样伸展身体。三次伸展身体之后,三次伸出舌头。三次伸出舌头之后,三次用舌头覆盖三千大千世界,无处不遍及,光明闪耀照耀十方。这时,大圣佛陀收回他的舌头,再次环顾在场的听众。所有在场的听众都站起身来,顶礼膜拜,归命于佛陀。 这时,世尊告诉弥勒菩萨(Maitreya Bodhisattva)大士:‘阿逸(Ajita,弥勒菩萨的另一个名字)!你要知道,正觉(佛陀的觉悟)不久将要进入涅槃(Nirvana,佛教的最终解脱)。如果有什么疑问,现在正是时候,应该提问。如果有任何疑惑或不理解的地方,现在就向如来(Tathagata,佛陀的称号)请教,不要后悔:‘面对大圣,为什么不解决疑问呢?’ 弥勒菩萨上前对佛陀说:‘世尊知道时机,明彻六神通(Abhijnas,佛教的六种超自然能力)和诸度(Paramitas,佛教的六种或十种完美品德),无所不通,能解决一切疑惑。善哉,世尊!请随时方便地宣讲经道,使这法门能够长久存在。’ 这时,大神妙天王(Mahadeva-adbhuta-devendra)与八十亿净居天人(Suddhavasa Devas)围绕着他,来到佛陀所在的地方。他们顶礼佛足,合掌归命,上前对佛陀说:‘是的,世尊!这部经典名为《济诸方等学》(Sarva-dharma-samgraha-vyuha),是过去诸佛、如来、至真、等正觉(Samyaksambuddha,完全觉悟的佛陀)所讲说的。今天,大圣您应当垂怜,再次宣讲,多多怜悯,多多安稳,使如来的教诲能够长久存在。’ 这时,佛陀默然,认可了大神妙天王的请求。天王见佛陀默然认可,便退到一旁站立。 这时,世尊告诉弥勒菩萨:‘阿逸,你要知道,过去诸如来、至真、等正觉没有不讲说这部《济诸方等》经典要义的;未来、现在十方世界的如来至真也都会讲说这部经典。那些不宣讲这部经典的人,就是诽谤佛陀、违背经典、毁坏圣众(Sangha,佛教僧团)。为什么呢?如果说这部经典没有益处,认为它不完备,那就是诽谤佛陀。’

English version: The Buddha observed all the assembled listeners. After observing three times, he stretched his body three times like a lion. After stretching three times, he extended his tongue three times. After extending his tongue three times, he covered the three thousand great thousand worlds with his tongue three times, reaching everywhere, with brilliant light shining in all directions. Then, the Great Sage Buddha retracted his tongue and looked again at the assembled listeners. All the assembled listeners stood up, bowed their heads, and took refuge in the Buddha. At that time, the World Honored One said to the Bodhisattva Mahasattva Maitreya (Maitreya Bodhisattva): 'Ajita (another name for Maitreya Bodhisattva)! You should know that the Perfect Enlightenment (Buddha's enlightenment) will soon enter Nirvana (Nirvana, the ultimate liberation in Buddhism). If there are any questions, now is the time, you should ask. If there are any doubts or misunderstandings, ask the Tathagata (Tathagata, an epithet of the Buddha) now, do not regret: ‘Facing the Great Sage, why not resolve your doubts?’' Bodhisattva Maitreya stepped forward and said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One knows the time, is clear about the six supernormal powers (Abhijnas, six supernatural powers in Buddhism) and the perfections (Paramitas, six or ten perfections in Buddhism), is all-knowing, and can resolve all doubts. Excellent, World Honored One! Please proclaim the teachings at your convenience, so that this Dharma (Buddhist teachings) may endure for a long time.' At that time, the Great Divine Wonderful Heavenly King (Mahadeva-adbhuta-devendra) and eighty billion Pure Abode Devas (Suddhavasa Devas) surrounded him, and went to where the Buddha was. They bowed at the Buddha's feet, joined their palms, and took refuge, saying to the Buddha: 'Yes, World Honored One! This scripture is named 'The Teaching of the Collection of All Dharmas' (Sarva-dharma-samgraha-vyuha), which was spoken by the past Buddhas, Tathagatas, the Truly Enlightened Ones, the Perfectly Enlightened Ones (Samyaksambuddha, a fully enlightened Buddha). Today, Great Sage, you should have compassion, proclaim it again, have much pity, much peace, so that the Tathagata's teachings may endure for a long time.' At this time, the Buddha was silent, approving the request of the Great Divine Wonderful Heavenly King. The Heavenly King, seeing that the Buddha had silently approved, retreated to one side and stood. At this time, the World Honored One said to Bodhisattva Maitreya: 'Ajita, you should know that the past Tathagatas, the Truly Enlightened Ones, the Perfectly Enlightened Ones, all spoke the essential meaning of this scripture, 'The Teaching of the Collection of All Dharmas'; the future and present Tathagatas in the ten directions will also speak this scripture. Those who do not proclaim this scripture are slandering the Buddha, violating the scriptures, and destroying the Sangha (Buddhist monastic community). Why is that? If one says that this scripture is not beneficial, thinking it is incomplete, that is slandering the Buddha.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

、违失经典、毁呰圣众。毁三宝者,必归地狱。是故,弥勒!若族姓子及族姓女学菩萨乘,通畅诸经众他异法,尔乃分别演众经义。若欲周备不阙文字,随正典教不自损己。又,仁弥勒!宜当专精思惟是门,然后末世摄护正法。” 弥勒应曰:“唯然,世尊!诚如圣教,当传神旨,不敢违命。” 佛复告弥勒菩萨:“如来至真某日于夜得逮无上正真之道,为最正觉,至于无余泥洹界灭度日夜,如来至真宁有缺漏,意误忘乎?宣恶念非瑕疵行耶?” 弥勒报曰:“无也,世尊!” 复谓阿逸:“如来某夜成最正觉,至灭度日,所可讲说皆实至诚,顺时应宜而无虚妄。” 佛言:“或有愚人,不别如来善权方便、不觉真实诚谛之言,反传狂语出意自说:‘此事合义,此义不合。’以是比类诽谤正道。若诽谤经则为谤佛,吾谓此党必归地狱。” 佛言弥勒:“当来末世五浊之俗,余五十岁,当有四辈——比丘、比丘尼、优婆塞、优婆夷——志学菩萨,慕本所誓,外异学意,奉事如来。见佛所说法律出家,修为沙门,谦敬种姓。其人所志惟求利养,毁坏种姓、贪嫉室家、乱其居业、面无好色、志慕小意、性不开解、不能宽泰、不坏情欲、多求汲汲;远于一切诸法门行、三昧正定,常住谀 现代汉语译本:违背经典,诋毁圣众。诋毁三宝的人,必定会堕入地狱。因此,弥勒(Maitreya,未来佛)啊!如果善男子和善女人学习菩萨乘(Bodhisattva-yana,菩萨的修行方式),通晓各种经典和不同的教法,才能分别阐述各种经典的含义。如果想要周全完备,不遗漏文字,就应当遵循正典的教导,不要自损己身。还有,仁者弥勒!应当专心精进地思考这个法门,然后在末世护持正法。 弥勒回答说:‘是的,世尊!正如您的圣教,我应当传达您的神圣旨意,不敢违背您的命令。’ 佛陀又告诉弥勒菩萨:‘如来(Tathagata,佛的称号)至真在某日夜晚证得无上正真之道,成为最正觉(Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi,无上正等正觉),直到进入无余涅槃(Parinirvana,完全的涅槃)界灭度的日子,如来至真难道会有缺失、意念错误或遗忘吗?宣说恶念难道不是瑕疵的行为吗?’ 弥勒回答说:‘不会的,世尊!’ 佛陀又对阿逸(Ajita,弥勒的别名)说:‘如来在某夜成就最正觉,直到灭度的日子,所讲说的一切都是真实诚恳的,顺应时机,没有虚妄。’ 佛陀说:‘或许有愚痴的人,不了解如来的善巧方便(Upaya,方便法门),不觉悟真实诚谛的言语,反而传播狂妄的言论,随意地说:‘这件事符合道理,这件事不符合道理。’以此类推,诽谤正道。如果诽谤经典,就是诽谤佛陀,我说这些人必定会堕入地狱。’ 佛陀对弥勒说:‘当来末世五浊(Klesha,烦恼)的世俗中,在剩余的五十年里,将会有四种人——比丘(Bhikkhu,出家男众)、比丘尼(Bhikkhuni,出家女众)、优婆塞(Upasaka,在家男众)、优婆夷(Upasika,在家女众)——立志学习菩萨道,仰慕本来的誓愿,外表上与异学不同,奉事如来。他们看到佛陀所说的法律而出家,修行成为沙门(Sramana,修行者),表面上谦虚恭敬。这些人所追求的只是利益供养,毁坏种姓,贪图嫉妒家庭,扰乱他们的生活,面色不好,只追求小小的利益,心性不开朗,不能宽容,不舍弃情欲,贪求无厌;远离一切诸法门行、三昧(Samadhi,禅定)正定,常常谄媚奉承。
