数不可复计，比我所说法百倍、千倍、万倍、亿万倍不在计中。舍利弗！是为阿閦如来昔行菩萨道时所愿：‘我成无上正真道最正觉时，令我佛刹诸菩萨，我说法时令诸菩萨皆承佛威神悉受、讽诵、持之。’” 佛复语舍利弗：“尔时，诸菩萨摩诃萨皆承佛威神，受所说法、讽诵、持。是诸菩萨摩诃萨自生意念欲从其刹至他方世界俱至诸如来所听所说法，为诸佛、世尊作礼、讽诵之、复重问意解，为诸佛作礼、讽诵已、重问意解已，便复还至阿閦如来所。” 佛语舍利弗：“是陂陀劫中当有千佛，甫始四佛过。菩萨摩诃萨欲见是诸佛者，当愿生阿閦佛刹。 “若有善男子、善女人于是世界、若他方世界终亡往生阿閦佛刹者，甫当生者即当得住弟子缘一觉地。所以者何？其有因缘见如来者及众僧，为以断弊魔罗网去，得近弟子缘一觉及佛地，当得无上正真道最正觉，其人为以成如来、为以见诸菩萨摩诃萨之事。 “菩萨生阿閦佛刹者，其行皆住清净，为行诸法、为在诸法士、为以住于法、为佛道不可动转，复当坚住阿惟越致。” 佛语舍利弗：“若善男子、善女人于是世界、若他方世界终亡往其刹者等辈得入诸佛住。 “其菩萨为得觉意入无恐惧觉意，菩萨合会于智慧度无极，在 现代汉语译本：数量之多不可重复计算，比我所说的还要多百倍、千倍、万倍、亿万倍，无法计数。舍利弗（佛陀十大弟子之一，以智慧著称）！这是阿閦如来（Akshobhya，又译不动如来，代表坚定不移的佛）过去行菩萨道时所发的愿：‘当我成就无上正真道最正觉（Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi，指最高的、完全的觉悟）时，愿我的佛刹（Buddha-kshetra，佛所居住和教化的世界）中的所有菩萨，在我说法时都能承蒙佛的威神之力，全部接受、背诵、并持守这些教法。’ 佛陀又对舍利弗说：‘那时，诸位菩萨摩诃萨（Bodhisattva-mahasattva，伟大的菩萨）都承蒙佛的威神之力，接受所说的法，背诵并持守。这些菩萨摩诃萨自己心中想着要从他们的佛刹到其他世界，一起去到诸位如来（Tathagata，佛的称号之一）那里听闻佛法，向诸佛、世尊（Bhagavan，佛的尊称）顶礼，背诵佛法，并再次询问佛法的含义，向诸佛顶礼、背诵佛法、再次询问佛法含义之后，便又回到阿閦如来那里。’ 佛陀告诉舍利弗：‘在这个陂陀劫（Bhadrakalpa，贤劫，现在我们所处的劫）中，将会有千佛出世，现在才过了四佛。菩萨摩诃萨想要见到这些佛，应当发愿往生到阿閦佛的佛刹。 ‘如果有善男子、善女人在这个世界，或者其他世界去世后往生到阿閦佛的佛刹，或者即将往生者，他们将立即获得安住于弟子缘一觉地（Pratyekabuddha-bhumi，缘觉的果位）。这是为什么呢？因为那些有因缘见到如来和僧众的人，能够断除魔罗（Mara，魔王）的罗网，接近弟子缘一觉和佛地，将获得无上正真道最正觉，这些人将成就如来，将见到诸位菩萨摩诃萨的事迹。 ‘菩萨往生到阿閦佛的佛刹，他们的行为都安住于清净，为了修行诸法，为了成为诸法之士，为了安住于法，为了佛道不可动摇，还将坚定地安住于阿惟越致（Avaivartika，不退转的境界）。’ 佛陀告诉舍利弗：‘如果善男子、善女人在这个世界，或者其他世界去世后往生到那个佛刹，他们都将得以进入诸佛的境界。 ‘那些菩萨为了获得觉悟的意念，进入无所恐惧的觉悟意念，菩萨们会合于智慧度无极（Prajnaparamita，般若波罗蜜多，智慧的最高境界），安住于其中。’

English version: The number cannot be repeatedly counted; it is a hundred times, a thousand times, ten thousand times, a hundred million times more than what I have spoken, beyond calculation. Shariputra (one of the Buddha's ten great disciples, known for his wisdom)! This is the vow that Akshobhya Tathagata (also translated as Immovable Buddha, representing the steadfast Buddha) made when he was practicing the Bodhisattva path: 'When I attain Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi (the highest, complete enlightenment), may all the Bodhisattvas in my Buddha-kshetra (the world where a Buddha resides and teaches) receive, recite, and uphold these teachings with the power of the Buddha's divine might when I preach the Dharma.' The Buddha further said to Shariputra: 'At that time, all the Bodhisattva-mahasattvas (great Bodhisattvas) received the teachings, recited, and upheld them through the power of the Buddha's divine might. These Bodhisattva-mahasattvas themselves thought of going from their Buddha-kshetra to other worlds, together going to the places of the Tathagatas (one of the titles of the Buddha) to hear the Dharma, pay homage to the Buddhas, the Bhagavans (a respectful title for the Buddha), recite the Dharma, and ask again about the meaning of the Dharma. After paying homage to the Buddhas, reciting the Dharma, and asking again about the meaning of the Dharma, they would return to Akshobhya Tathagata.' The Buddha told Shariputra: 'In this Bhadrakalpa (the current kalpa, or eon, in which we live), there will be a thousand Buddhas appearing in the world, and only four Buddhas have passed so far. Bodhisattva-mahasattvas who wish to see these Buddhas should aspire to be reborn in the Buddha-kshetra of Akshobhya Buddha.' 'If good men or good women in this world or other worlds pass away and are reborn in the Buddha-kshetra of Akshobhya Buddha, or are about to be reborn there, they will immediately attain the stage of Pratyekabuddha-bhumi (the stage of a Pratyekabuddha, or solitary enlightened one). Why is this so? Because those who have the karmic connection to see the Tathagata and the Sangha (the monastic community) can break the net of Mara (the demon king), approach the stage of a Pratyekabuddha and the stage of a Buddha, and will attain Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi. These people will become Buddhas and will witness the deeds of the Bodhisattva-mahasattvas.' 'Bodhisattvas who are born in the Buddha-kshetra of Akshobhya Buddha will have their actions established in purity, for the practice of all Dharmas, to become masters of all Dharmas, to abide in the Dharma, for the path of the Buddha to be unshakeable, and they will also firmly abide in Avaivartika (the state of non-retrogression).' The Buddha told Shariputra: 'If good men or good women in this world or other worlds pass away and are reborn in that Buddha-kshetra, they will all be able to enter the realm of the Buddhas.' 'Those Bodhisattvas, in order to attain the thought of enlightenment, enter the thought of enlightenment without fear, and the Bodhisattvas will unite in Prajnaparamita (the perfection of wisdom, the highest form of wisdom), abiding in it.' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 所各同义，见世尊知所住。

“其佛刹诸菩萨摩诃萨，在家者止高楼上、出家为道者不在舍止。” 佛告舍利弗：“阿閦佛说法时，诸菩萨摩诃萨承佛威神皆受法语、讽诵、持之。其不出家菩萨摩诃萨不面见佛所说时，在所坐处承佛威神皆亦闻法语，闻已即受、讽诵、持之；其出家菩萨摩诃萨身自面见佛说法时，及所行至坐处亦承佛威神皆闻，闻已即受、讽诵、持；是菩萨摩诃萨终亡已后俱持法语，所至生诸佛刹续念之。舍利弗！是为阿閦佛之善快。所以者何？如昔所愿，自然得之。” 佛语舍利弗：“若有一世菩萨摩诃萨欲见若干百佛、若干千佛、若干万佛、若干亿那术百千佛，当愿生阿閦佛刹。菩萨已生阿閦佛刹者，便见若干百佛、若干千佛、若干亿万佛、若干亿那术百千佛，当于其刹种诸德本，当为无央数百千人、无央数百千亿人、无央数亿那术百千人说法，亦当令种德本。” 佛言：“舍利弗！若菩萨摩诃萨于是陂陀劫中皆供养诸所佛、天中天，衣被、饭食、床卧具、病瘦医药供养已，便出家学道，悉于是诸佛、天中天下须发为沙门；若复有菩萨摩诃萨不知于阿閦佛刹一世合会行度无极得福多？” 佛言：“舍利弗！是福德善本行具足，百倍、千倍、万倍、巨亿万倍不与等。 现代汉语译本 他们各自理解相同的意义，见到世尊知道他所住的地方。 ‘在那个佛土中的诸位菩萨摩诃萨（菩萨中的大菩萨），在家的住在高楼上，出家修道的则不住在房舍里。’ 佛告诉舍利弗（佛陀的十大弟子之一，以智慧著称）：‘阿閦佛（不动佛）说法时，诸位菩萨摩诃萨承蒙佛的威神之力，都接受佛的教诲，并诵读、持守。那些没有出家的菩萨摩诃萨，即使没有亲自面见佛陀说法，在他们所坐之处，也承蒙佛的威神之力，都能听到佛的教诲，听后立即接受、诵读、持守；那些出家的菩萨摩诃萨，亲自面见佛陀说法时，以及他们所行至之处，也承蒙佛的威神之力都能听到，听后立即接受、诵读、持守；这些菩萨摩诃萨在去世之后，都带着佛的教诲，所投生到的各个佛土，都能继续忆念。舍利弗！这就是阿閦佛的殊胜之处。为什么呢？因为他们如过去所愿，自然就能得到。’ 佛告诉舍利弗：‘如果有一位菩萨摩诃萨想要见到若干百佛、若干千佛、若干万佛、若干亿那由他百千佛，应当发愿往生阿閦佛的佛土。已经往生到阿閦佛佛土的菩萨，就能见到若干百佛、若干千佛、若干亿万佛、若干亿那由他百千佛，在那个佛土种下各种功德的根本，应当为无量数百千人、无量数百千亿人、无量数亿那由他百千人说法，也应当让他们种下功德的根本。’ 佛说：‘舍利弗！如果菩萨摩诃萨在这陂陀劫（贤劫）中，都供养诸佛、天中天（佛的尊称），用衣物、饮食、床铺卧具、疾病医药来供养，之后便出家学道，在这些诸佛、天中天之下剃除须发成为沙门（出家修道者）；如果又有菩萨摩诃萨不知道在阿閦佛的佛土一世相遇，修行度无极的福德更多吗？’ 佛说：‘舍利弗！这种福德善本的修行圆满，百倍、千倍、万倍、巨亿万倍都不能与之相比。’

English version They each understand the same meaning, seeing the World Honored One, they know where he dwells. 'In that Buddha-land, the Bodhisattva-Mahasattvas (great Bodhisattvas), those who are householders dwell in high towers, while those who have left home to practice the Way do not dwell in houses.' The Buddha told Shariputra (one of the Buddha's ten great disciples, known for his wisdom): 'When Akshobhya Buddha (Immovable Buddha) preaches the Dharma, all the Bodhisattva-Mahasattvas, by the power of the Buddha's divine might, receive the Buddha's teachings, and recite and uphold them. Those Bodhisattva-Mahasattvas who have not left home, even if they do not personally see the Buddha preaching, in their places of sitting, by the power of the Buddha's divine might, they can all hear the Dharma, and upon hearing it, they immediately receive, recite, and uphold it; those Bodhisattva-Mahasattvas who have left home, when they personally see the Buddha preaching, and in the places they go to, by the power of the Buddha's divine might, they can all hear it, and upon hearing it, they immediately receive, recite, and uphold it; these Bodhisattva-Mahasattvas, after they pass away, all carry the Buddha's teachings with them, and in the various Buddha-lands they are reborn into, they can continue to remember them. Shariputra! This is the excellence of Akshobhya Buddha. Why is this so? Because as they wished in the past, they naturally obtain it.' The Buddha told Shariputra: 'If there is a Bodhisattva-Mahasattva who wishes to see several hundred Buddhas, several thousand Buddhas, several ten thousand Buddhas, several hundred thousand million nayuta Buddhas, they should vow to be reborn in the Buddha-land of Akshobhya Buddha. Bodhisattvas who have already been reborn in the Buddha-land of Akshobhya Buddha will see several hundred Buddhas, several thousand Buddhas, several hundred million Buddhas, several hundred thousand million nayuta Buddhas, and in that Buddha-land, they will plant the roots of all virtues, and they should preach the Dharma to countless hundreds of thousands of people, countless hundreds of thousands of millions of people, countless millions of nayuta hundreds of thousands of people, and they should also cause them to plant the roots of virtue.' The Buddha said: 'Shariputra! If a Bodhisattva-Mahasattva in this Bhadra Kalpa (the present kalpa) were to offer to all the Buddhas, the Gods of Gods (an honorific title for the Buddha), with clothing, food, bedding, and medicine for the sick, and then leave home to practice the Way, shaving their hair and beard under these Buddhas, the Gods of Gods, to become a Shramana (a monastic practitioner); if there is another Bodhisattva-Mahasattva who does not know that the merit of meeting in one lifetime in the Buddha-land of Akshobhya Buddha and practicing the boundless path is greater?' The Buddha said: 'Shariputra! This merit of the practice of the roots of goodness is complete, and cannot be compared to a hundredfold, a thousandfold, a ten thousandfold, or a hundred millionfold.' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 舍利弗！是为阿閦佛刹之善快。”

佛语舍利弗：“若一世菩萨于是世界、他方世界终亡生阿閦佛刹者，甫当生者皆得阿惟越致。所以者何？其佛刹无有憋魔事在前立，憋魔亦不娆人。” 佛言：“舍利弗！譬如人咒力语咒毒咒蛇，除其毒便放舍，其力不可胜，救无央数人恐畏。其蛇亦不恐人、亦不娆触人，如是，其人但以前世禅三昧行故，自以功德得灭于蛇毒。如是，舍利弗！阿閦佛昔求菩萨道时行愿德本如是乃得佛道，消除于憋魔毒不复娆人。 “阿閦佛成无上正真道最正觉时，憋魔不能复来娆、亦不能复娆诸菩萨摩诃萨及凡人，一切皆不复娆。 “三千大千世界中人如是先坐三昧寂定，以自威神生和耶越致天。于彼以前世因缘行广普，亦于和耶越致天以因缘三昧、以自威神寂寞、以是比于彼说法。 “炎天闻之，闻已便得信欢喜，来供养诸弟子。炎天言：‘乃作是无所著、知止足、空闲处作行。’其刹诸魔教人出家学道，不复娆人。舍利弗！是阿閦佛刹德之善快——夜初鼓时，先哀念人民，欲令度脱诸菩萨及学弟子并凡人安隐寂寞行。” 贤者舍利弗白佛言：“唯，天中天！若善男子、善女人以七宝满三千大千世界持用布施得生阿閦佛刹者，其人不当惜也，便当布施。所 现代汉语译本： 舍利弗！这就是阿閦佛（Akshobhya Buddha）佛土的殊胜之处。 佛告诉舍利弗：‘如果一位菩萨在这个世界或其他世界去世后往生到阿閦佛的佛土，或者即将往生者，都将获得不退转的果位（Avivartika）。这是为什么呢？因为那个佛土没有魔事阻碍，魔也不会扰乱众生。’ 佛说：‘舍利弗！譬如有人用咒语的力量来解除蛇的毒性，解除了毒性后就放开蛇，这种力量是不可战胜的，能救无数人免于恐惧。那条蛇也不会再恐吓人、也不会再触碰扰乱人。这个人只是因为前世修习禅定三昧的缘故，凭借自己的功德消除了蛇毒。舍利弗！阿閦佛过去在求菩萨道时，所修行的愿力和功德根本就是如此，所以才得以成佛，消除了魔的毒害，不再扰乱众生。’ ‘阿閦佛成就无上正等正觉（Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi）时，魔不能再来扰乱，也不能再扰乱诸位菩萨摩诃萨（Bodhisattva-Mahasattva）以及凡夫俗子，一切众生都不再受其扰乱。’ ‘三千大千世界中的人，如果能像这样先进入三昧寂定，凭借自己的威神力，就能往生到和耶越致天（Vihayasa）。在那里，他们会因为前世的因缘而广行普度，也会在和耶越致天以因缘三昧、以自己的威神力寂静地为他们说法。’ ‘炎天（Yama）听到这些说法后，便会生起信心和欢喜，前来供养诸位弟子。炎天会说：‘他们真是无所执着，知足常乐，在空闲之处修行。’那个佛土的诸魔会教导人们出家学道，不再扰乱众生。舍利弗！这就是阿閦佛佛土的殊胜之处——在夜晚初鼓时，佛会先哀悯人民，希望他们能度脱诸位菩萨、学道弟子以及凡夫俗子，让他们安稳寂静地修行。’ 贤者舍利弗对佛说：‘世尊！如果善男子、善女人用七宝充满三千大千世界来布施，从而得以往生到阿閦佛的佛土，那他们不应该吝惜，应当布施。’
