大正藏第 11 册 No. 0313 阿閦佛国经   No. 313 [No. 310(6)]   阿閦佛国经卷上   后汉月支国三藏支娄迦谶译   发意受慧品第一   闻如是:   一时佛在罗阅祇耆阇崛山中,与大比丘众比丘千二百五十人俱,皆阿罗汉也——生死已断,无复有结,悉坏牢狱,已得自在意、已善解智慧,为度诸天、龙王皆为之伏,所作已办,诸当为者已脱重担,便得所有,用正慧解,意得自在,所度无极——独阿难未也。   尔时,贤者舍利弗起,长跪叉手而白佛言:“善哉,天中天!昔者诸菩萨求无上正真道者行德号发意便得至号。是诸菩萨以仪哀念安隐诸天及世间人,为作安谛、多所安隐,于众人民以仪故哀念安定,以大身于世间无盖哀伤诸天及人。今现在及过去诸菩萨摩诃萨为现光明乃至法之明为作照明,令至佛光明而无有名。若有求菩萨道者,当如昔者诸菩萨摩诃萨所愿及行明照并僧那令入德号,以闻者当如是学奉行之。学如是者,即为成阿惟越致及无上正真道也。”   佛言:“善哉,贤者舍利弗!所问甚善。汝乃问过去诸菩萨摩诃萨所愿及行照明并僧那令至所号,念诸当来菩萨令受取之。谛听是,舍利弗!善思念之,为汝解说过去诸 现代汉语译本 阿閦佛国经 卷上 后汉月支国三藏支娄迦谶译 发意受慧品第一 我听闻是这样的: 一时,佛陀在罗阅祇(王舍城)的耆阇崛山中,与一千二百五十位大比丘众在一起,他们都是阿罗汉——生死轮回已经断绝,不再有任何烦恼的束缚,完全摧毁了牢狱般的痛苦,已经获得了自在的意念,已经善于理解智慧,为了度化诸天、龙王都对他们敬服,该做的已经完成,所有该承担的重担已经卸下,便获得了所有,用正确的智慧去理解,意念获得自在,所度化的众生无边无际——只有阿难还没有达到这个境界。 这时,贤者舍利弗起身,长跪合掌,对佛陀说:‘善哉,天中天!过去那些求无上正真道的菩萨,他们的修行功德和发愿,使他们能够达到相应的果位。这些菩萨以慈悲之心怜悯安抚诸天和世间的人们,为他们带来安宁和安定,使众多人民因为他们的慈悲而得到安定,以伟大的身躯在世间无所畏惧地怜悯诸天和人类。现在和过去诸位菩萨摩诃萨,为了展现光明,乃至佛法的光明,作为照明,使众生到达佛的光明而没有名相的束缚。如果有求菩萨道的人,应当像过去诸位菩萨摩诃萨所发之愿和修行光明以及僧那(誓愿),使他们进入相应的果位,听到这些的人应当这样学习和奉行。像这样学习的人,就能够成就阿惟越致(不退转)和无上正真道。’ 佛陀说:‘善哉,贤者舍利弗!你所问的非常好。你问的是过去诸位菩萨摩诃萨所发之愿和修行光明以及僧那,使他们达到相应的果位,并想到未来的菩萨们应该接受这些教诲。仔细听着,舍利弗!好好思考,我将为你解说过去诸位菩萨摩诃萨的修行。’

English version The Sutra of Akshobhya Buddha's Land, Volume 1 Translated by the Tripiṭaka Master Zhi Loujiachen of the Yuezhi Kingdom during the Later Han Dynasty Chapter 1: The Arising of the Mind and Receiving Wisdom Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling on Mount Gṛdhrakūṭa in Rājagṛha, together with a great assembly of twelve hundred and fifty Bhikṣus, all of whom were Arhats—their cycle of birth and death had been severed, they had no more fetters, they had completely destroyed the prison of suffering, they had attained the freedom of mind, they had well understood wisdom, they were revered by the gods and Nāga kings whom they had converted, they had accomplished what needed to be done, they had cast off all burdens, they had obtained everything, they understood with right wisdom, their minds were free, and the beings they had converted were limitless—except for Ānanda, who had not yet reached this state. At that time, the venerable Śāriputra arose, knelt down, and with palms joined, said to the Buddha: ‘Excellent, O Blessed One! In the past, those Bodhisattvas who sought the unsurpassed, true, and right path, through their virtuous conduct and vows, were able to attain their respective stages. These Bodhisattvas, with compassion, pitied and comforted the gods and people of the world, bringing them peace and stability, and through their compassion, they brought stability to many people. With their great bodies, they fearlessly pitied the gods and humans in the world. The present and past Bodhisattva Mahāsattvas, in order to manifest light, even the light of the Dharma, as illumination, enable beings to reach the light of the Buddha without being bound by names and forms. If there are those who seek the Bodhisattva path, they should follow the vows and practices of the past Bodhisattva Mahāsattvas, their illumination, and their saṃgha (vows), so that they may enter their respective stages. Those who hear this should learn and practice accordingly. Those who learn in this way will achieve Avaivartika (non-retrogression) and the unsurpassed, true, and right path.’ The Buddha said: ‘Excellent, venerable Śāriputra! Your question is very good. You ask about the vows and practices of the past Bodhisattva Mahāsattvas, their illumination, and their saṃgha, so that they may reach their respective stages, and you think of the future Bodhisattvas who should receive these teachings. Listen carefully, Śāriputra! Think well, and I will explain to you the practices of the past Bodhisattva Mahāsattvas.’ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 菩萨摩诃萨所施行。”   舍利弗言:“唯然,世尊!愿乐欲闻。”

佛告舍利弗:“有世界名阿比罗提,其佛名大目,于彼为诸菩萨摩诃萨说法及六度无极之行。”   尔时,贤者舍利弗心念言:“我欲问如来、天中天:何所是阿比罗提世界及大目如来、无所著、等正觉为诸菩萨摩诃萨说法及六度无极之行者乎?”   时佛即知贤者舍利弗心所念,告舍利弗言:“东方去是千佛刹,有世界名阿比罗提,其佛名大目如来、无所著、等正觉,为诸菩萨说法及六度无极之行者乎。   “时有比丘从坐起,正衣服,右膝着地,向大目如来叉手,白大目如来言:‘唯,天中天!我欲如菩萨结愿,学所当学者。’   “如是,舍利弗!其大目如来告其比丘言:‘如结愿学诸菩萨道者甚亦难。所以者何?菩萨于一切人民及蜎飞、蠕动之类不得有瞋恚。’   “如是,舍利弗!其比丘白大目如来言:‘天中天!我从今以往发无上正真道意,以意劝助而不离之,用愿无上正真道也,当令无谀谄,所语至诚、所言无异。   “‘唯,天中天!我发是萨芸若意,审如是愿为无上正真道者,若于一切人民、蜎飞、蠕动之类起是瞋恚,第一意若发弟子缘一觉意、第二唯意念淫欲、第三若发意念睡眠念众想由 现代汉语译本:菩萨摩诃萨所修行的法门。” 舍利弗说:‘是的,世尊!我非常乐意听闻。’ 佛告诉舍利弗:‘有一个世界名为阿比罗提(Abhirati),那里的佛名为大目(Mahamati),他在那里为诸位菩萨摩诃萨讲法,以及关于六度无极的修行。’ 当时,贤者舍利弗心中想:‘我想请问如来、天中天:什么是阿比罗提世界?大目如来(Mahamati Tathagata)、无所著(Arhat)、等正觉(Samyaksambuddha)是如何为诸位菩萨摩诃萨讲法,以及关于六度无极的修行的?’ 这时,佛立刻知道贤者舍利弗心中所想,便告诉舍利弗说:‘从东方经过一千个佛刹,有一个世界名为阿比罗提,那里的佛名为大目如来、无所著、等正觉,他正在为诸位菩萨讲法,以及关于六度无极的修行。’ ‘当时,有一位比丘从座位上站起来,整理好衣服,右膝跪地,向大目如来合掌,对大目如来说:‘是的,天中天!我想要像菩萨一样发愿,学习应该学习的法门。’ ‘舍利弗,大目如来告诉那位比丘说:‘像这样发愿学习诸菩萨道是非常困难的。为什么呢?因为菩萨对于一切人民以及飞禽、蠕动等众生,都不能有嗔恨之心。’ ‘舍利弗,那位比丘对大目如来说:‘天中天!我从今以后发无上正真道心,以这个心来劝勉自己而不离开,用以成就无上正真之道,应当做到没有虚伪谄媚,所说的话真实诚恳,所言所行一致。’ ‘是的,天中天!我发此萨芸若(Sarvajna,一切智)之心,如果我发愿要成就无上正真之道,若对一切人民、飞禽、蠕动等众生生起嗔恨之心,第一,如果我发声闻缘觉(Sravakayāna)之心,第二,如果我生起淫欲之念,第三,如果我生起睡眠之念,或者种种杂念,’

English version: 'practiced by Bodhisattva Mahasattvas.' Sariputra said, 'Yes, World Honored One! I am eager to hear.' The Buddha told Sariputra, 'There is a world named Abhirati, where the Buddha is named Mahamati. There, he teaches the Dharma to the Bodhisattva Mahasattvas, as well as the practice of the Six Perfections.' At that time, the venerable Sariputra thought in his heart, 'I wish to ask the Tathagata, the Teacher of Gods and Humans: What is the Abhirati world? How does Mahamati Tathagata, the Arhat, the Samyaksambuddha, teach the Dharma to the Bodhisattva Mahasattvas, and about the practice of the Six Perfections?' Then, the Buddha immediately knew what the venerable Sariputra was thinking, and told Sariputra, 'To the east, beyond a thousand Buddha-lands, there is a world named Abhirati, where the Buddha is named Mahamati Tathagata, the Arhat, the Samyaksambuddha. He is teaching the Dharma to the Bodhisattvas, and about the practice of the Six Perfections.' 'At that time, a Bhikkhu rose from his seat, adjusted his robes, knelt on his right knee, and with palms joined, said to Mahamati Tathagata, 'Yes, Teacher of Gods and Humans! I wish to make a vow like a Bodhisattva, and learn what should be learned.' 'Thus, Sariputra! Mahamati Tathagata told that Bhikkhu, 'It is very difficult to make a vow to learn the Bodhisattva path. Why? Because a Bodhisattva must not have anger towards all people, as well as flying and crawling creatures.' 'Thus, Sariputra! That Bhikkhu said to Mahamati Tathagata, 'Teacher of Gods and Humans! From now on, I will generate the unsurpassed, true, and right mind, and with this mind, I will encourage myself without leaving it, in order to achieve the unsurpassed, true, and right path. I shall be without flattery or deceit, my words shall be truthful and sincere, and my actions shall be consistent with my words.' 'Yes, Teacher of Gods and Humans! I generate this Sarvajna (all-knowing) mind. If I vow to achieve the unsurpassed, true, and right path, and if I generate anger towards all people, flying and crawling creatures, first, if I generate the mind of a Sravakayana (hearer vehicle), second, if I generate thoughts of lust, third, if I generate thoughts of sleep, or various other thoughts,' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have generated such a Bodhi-citta, truly wishing to attain the unsurpassed, true and right path, if I generate the thought of cursing, first; if I generate the thought of harsh speech, second; if I generate the thought of ignorance, third; if I generate the thought of frivolous speech, fourth; if I generate the thought of wrong views, fifth; and even until I attain the most perfect enlightenment, I would be deceiving all the Buddhas, the World Honored Ones—those Buddhas, Devatidevas, who are now teaching in countless, boundless, inconceivable, immeasurable worlds.’ The Buddha said to Sariputra: ‘This bhikkhu does so because he is considered a Samghata-samghata—a Bodhisattva-mahasattva who, upon first generating this thought, has no anger or resentment in his mind towards all people, flying insects, and crawling creatures.’ ‘Sariputra! At that time, this Bodhisattva-mahasattva, because of his lack of anger, is called Akshobhya, and because of his lack of anger, he dwells in the Akshobhya ground.
