利弗心所念,便告舍利弗言:“阿閦佛摩诃般泥洹是日,一切三千大千世界诸郡国变化作化人而说法——所可说者,如前所说法——时人民复行阿罗汉道,不复上下便令住阿罗汉道。   “阿閦佛般泥洹时,有菩萨摩诃萨名众香手,当授是众香手菩萨决,号曰羞洹那洹波头摩(汉言金色莲华)如来、无所著、等正觉。   “复次,舍利弗!其金色莲华佛之刹所有善快,亦当如阿閦佛刹之善快所有安谛,金色莲华佛所有众弟子亦当如阿閦佛。   “复次,舍利弗!阿閦佛摩诃般泥洹时,当大动摇皆悉遍三千大千世界,声上闻阿渐货罗天乃复至闻阿迦尼吒天;阿閦佛般泥洹时当有是瑞应。   “复次,舍利弗!阿閦佛刹诸好药、树木皆曲向阿閦佛般泥洹所作礼。   “阿閦佛摩诃般泥洹时,诸天及人民持华香、杂香、捣香供养散其身上,供养已,其诸天人民华香、杂香、捣香及余宝上至虚空四十里成圆华盖。   “阿閦佛摩诃般泥洹时,其三千大千世界诸天、龙、鬼神、揵陀罗、阿须伦、迦留罗、真陀罗、摩休勒皆向。   “阿閦佛摩诃般泥洹时,是人民及诸天——以佛威神所致——悉见阿閦佛摩诃般泥洹时。   “复次,舍利弗!阿閦佛摩诃般泥洹时,诸天及人民昼夜常愁忧言:‘阿 现代汉语译本:利弗心中所想,便告诉舍利弗说:‘阿閦佛(Akshobhya Buddha)般涅槃的那一天,整个三千大千世界的所有郡国都会变化成化身的人来宣说佛法——所说的内容,如同之前所说的那样——那时人们会再次修行阿罗汉道,不再有高下之分,直接安住于阿罗汉道。’ ‘阿閦佛般涅槃时,会有一位菩萨摩诃萨(Bodhisattva-Mahasattva)名叫众香手,这位众香手菩萨将会被授记,他的名号是羞洹那洹波头摩(Shubhanavanapadma,汉译为金色莲花)如来(Tathagata)、无所著(Arhat)、等正觉(Samyaksambuddha)。’ ‘再者,舍利弗!那位金色莲花佛的佛土所具有的善妙安乐,也应当像阿閦佛佛土的善妙安乐一样安稳真实。金色莲花佛的所有弟子也应当像阿閦佛的弟子一样。’ ‘再者,舍利弗!阿閦佛般涅槃时,将会发生巨大的震动,遍及整个三千大千世界,声音上达阿渐货罗天(Akanistha Heaven),乃至阿迦尼吒天(Akanistha Heaven);阿閦佛般涅槃时,会有这样的瑞应。’ ‘再者,舍利弗!阿閦佛佛土中所有美好的药草、树木都会弯曲,朝向阿閦佛般涅槃的地方行礼。’ ‘阿閦佛般涅槃时,诸天和人们会拿着鲜花、香料、捣碎的香料来供养,散在阿閦佛的身上。供养之后,诸天和人们所供养的鲜花、香料、捣碎的香料以及其他宝物会上升到虚空四十里,形成圆形的华盖。’ ‘阿閦佛般涅槃时,三千大千世界中的诸天、龙、鬼神、乾闼婆(Gandharva)、阿修罗(Asura)、迦楼罗(Garuda)、紧那罗(Kinnara)、摩睺罗伽(Mahoraga)都会前来。’ ‘阿閦佛般涅槃时,这些人们和诸天——由于佛的威神力所致——都能亲眼见到阿閦佛般涅槃的景象。’ ‘再者,舍利弗!阿閦佛般涅槃时,诸天和人们日夜都会感到忧愁,说道:“阿’

English version: Then, Liver, having thought in his mind, spoke to Sariputra, saying: 'On the day when Akshobhya Buddha (Akshobhya Buddha) attains Mahaparinirvana, all the countries in the entire three-thousand-great-thousand world will transform into emanated beings to preach the Dharma—what they preach will be the same as what was preached before—at that time, people will again practice the path of Arhat, without any distinction of high or low, and will directly abide in the path of Arhat.' 'When Akshobhya Buddha attains Parinirvana, there will be a Bodhisattva-Mahasattva named Samantagandha (All-Fragrant Hand). This Bodhisattva Samantagandha will receive a prediction, and his name will be Shubhanavanapadma (Golden Lotus, in Chinese), the Tathagata (Thus Gone One), Arhat (Worthy One), Samyaksambuddha (Perfectly Enlightened One).' 'Furthermore, Sariputra! The goodness and happiness of the Buddha-land of that Golden Lotus Buddha should also be as stable and true as the goodness and happiness of Akshobhya Buddha's Buddha-land. All the disciples of the Golden Lotus Buddha should also be like the disciples of Akshobhya Buddha.' 'Furthermore, Sariputra! When Akshobhya Buddha attains Parinirvana, there will be a great shaking that will pervade the entire three-thousand-great-thousand world. The sound will reach Akanistha Heaven (Akanistha Heaven), and even Akanistha Heaven (Akanistha Heaven); when Akshobhya Buddha attains Parinirvana, there will be such auspicious signs.' 'Furthermore, Sariputra! All the good herbs and trees in Akshobhya Buddha's Buddha-land will bend towards the place where Akshobhya Buddha attains Parinirvana to pay homage.' 'When Akshobhya Buddha attains Mahaparinirvana, the devas and people will offer flowers, incense, and powdered incense, scattering them on his body. After making offerings, the flowers, incense, powdered incense, and other treasures offered by the devas and people will rise up to forty miles in the sky, forming a circular canopy of flowers.' 'When Akshobhya Buddha attains Mahaparinirvana, the devas, dragons, ghosts, Gandharvas (celestial musicians), Asuras (demigods), Garudas (mythical birds), Kinnaras (celestial musicians), and Mahoragas (great serpents) in the three-thousand-great-thousand world will all come.' 'When Akshobhya Buddha attains Mahaparinirvana, these people and devas—due to the Buddha's majestic power—will all be able to witness the scene of Akshobhya Buddha's Mahaparinirvana.' 'Furthermore, Sariputra! When Akshobhya Buddha attains Mahaparinirvana, the devas and people will be constantly worried day and night, saying: 'Ah,' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

閦佛般泥洹大疾为己亡。’人民娱乐不复得乐所欲,意愁忧言:‘阿閦佛般泥洹大疾亡失人民安隐。’意愁忧言:‘亡天下眼。’”   佛语舍利弗:“若有菩萨摩诃萨于是世界、若他方世界终亡生阿閦佛刹者,甫当生者,其人皆为以受决,从一方复至一方共等辈游行、若干百千等辈共游行,菩萨摩诃萨当见若干百千如来、当见无数佛、当见无数萨芸若。   “若有菩萨摩诃萨于是世界、若他方世界终亡生阿閦佛刹者,甫当生者,其人亦与众等俱游行,以佛威神所致萨芸若故为阿惟越致。   “菩萨摩诃萨闻是阿閦佛德号法经,皆为离魔罗网。   “复次,舍利弗!阿閦佛摩诃般泥洹时,至法行在者、诸菩萨摩诃萨生阿閦佛刹者,亦当与等辈游行,求索阿閦佛昔时愿,然后当生阿閦佛刹。菩萨摩诃萨便当讽诵八百门,讽诵已皆当讽诵诸法,便有上微妙阿閦佛刹。诸菩萨摩诃萨得念行住八百门:‘我当生阿閦佛刹。’亦当讽诵八百门,讽诵已皆当复讽诵诸法,见上妙句,如是谛受之菩萨摩诃萨。   “阿閦佛现在及般泥洹时说法等无异,佛刹等如来所示现——从阿惟越致至成无上正真道最正觉。   “复次,舍利弗!阿閦佛身中自出火,还烧身已便作金色,即碎若芥子不复还复,讫已便自然生 现代汉语译本:阿閦佛(Akshobhya,不动佛)般涅槃(parinirvana,圆寂)时,如同大病身亡。’人民娱乐不再感到快乐,心中忧愁地说:‘阿閦佛般涅槃,如同大病身亡,失去了人民的安稳。’心中忧愁地说:‘失去了天下的眼睛。’ 佛告诉舍利弗(Sariputra,佛陀十大弟子之一,以智慧著称):‘如果有菩萨摩诃萨(bodhisattva-mahasattva,大菩萨)在这个世界,或者其他世界去世后往生到阿閦佛的佛刹(buddha-kshetra,佛土),或者即将往生者,这些人都会被授记(vyakarana,预言成佛),从一个地方到另一个地方,与同等辈分的人一起,成百上千的同辈一起,菩萨摩诃萨将会见到成百上千的如来(tathagata,佛),将会见到无数的佛,将会见到无数的萨芸若(sarvajna,一切智者)。’ ‘如果有菩萨摩诃萨在这个世界,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,这些人也会与大众同在,因为佛的威神力所致的萨芸若,成为阿惟越致(avaivartika,不退转)。’ ‘菩萨摩诃萨听到阿閦佛的德号和法经,都会远离魔罗(Mara,魔王)的罗网。’ ‘再者,舍利弗!阿閦佛摩诃般涅槃时,那些修行佛法的人,那些往生到阿閦佛佛刹的菩萨摩诃萨,也会与同辈在一起,寻求阿閦佛过去所发的愿,然后才能往生到阿閦佛的佛刹。菩萨摩诃萨应当讽诵八百法门,讽诵之后都应当讽诵诸法,便会有上妙的阿閦佛佛刹。诸菩萨摩诃萨得到念住的八百法门:‘我应当往生阿閦佛的佛刹。’也应当讽诵八百法门,讽诵之后都应当再次讽诵诸法,见到上妙的语句,像这样谛受的菩萨摩诃萨。 ‘阿閦佛现在说法和般涅槃时说法没有差别,佛刹也如同如来所显现的一样——从阿惟越致到成就无上正真道最正觉(anuttara-samyak-sambodhi,无上正等正觉)。’ ‘再者,舍利弗!阿閦佛的身体中会自己发出火焰,燃烧自身后变成金色,然后碎裂如芥子般不再复原,之后便自然化生。’

English version: When Akshobhya (the Immovable One) entered parinirvana (final nirvana), it was like a great illness causing death. The people's entertainment no longer brought joy, and they said with sorrow, 'Akshobhya's parinirvana, like a great illness causing death, has taken away the people's peace.' They said with sorrow, 'The eyes of the world are lost.' The Buddha said to Sariputra (one of the Buddha's ten great disciples, known for his wisdom), 'If there are bodhisattva-mahasattvas (great bodhisattvas) in this world or other worlds who, after passing away, are reborn in Akshobhya's buddha-kshetra (Buddha-field), or who are about to be reborn there, these people will all receive a prediction (vyakarana) of their future Buddhahood. They will go from one place to another, together with their peers, hundreds and thousands of peers. The bodhisattva-mahasattvas will see hundreds and thousands of tathagatas (Buddhas), will see countless Buddhas, and will see countless sarvajnas (all-knowing ones).' 'If there are bodhisattva-mahasattvas in this world or other worlds who, after passing away, are reborn in Akshobhya's buddha-kshetra, or who are about to be reborn there, these people will also be with the assembly. Because of the sarvajna attained through the Buddha's majestic power, they will become avaivartika (non-retrogressing).' 'Bodhisattva-mahasattvas who hear the name and Dharma teachings of Akshobhya will all be freed from the net of Mara (the demon king).' 'Furthermore, Sariputra! When Akshobhya enters mahaparinirvana, those who practice the Dharma, those bodhisattva-mahasattvas who are reborn in Akshobhya's buddha-kshetra, will also be with their peers, seeking the vows that Akshobhya made in the past, and then they will be reborn in Akshobhya's buddha-kshetra. The bodhisattva-mahasattvas should recite the eight hundred Dharma gates. After reciting them, they should all recite the various Dharmas, and then they will have the supreme and wonderful Akshobhya buddha-kshetra. The bodhisattva-mahasattvas will attain the eight hundred Dharma gates of mindfulness: 'I should be reborn in Akshobhya's buddha-kshetra.' They should also recite the eight hundred Dharma gates. After reciting them, they should all recite the various Dharmas again, and see the supreme and wonderful phrases. The bodhisattva-mahasattvas who receive them in this way are truly blessed.' 'There is no difference between Akshobhya's teachings when he is present and when he enters parinirvana. The buddha-kshetra is also as the Tathagata has shown—from avaivartika to the attainment of anuttara-samyak-sambodhi (supreme perfect enlightenment).' 'Furthermore, Sariputra! From Akshobhya's body, fire will spontaneously arise, burning his body and turning it into gold. Then it will shatter like mustard seeds and not return to its original form. After that, it will naturally be reborn.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

。譬如,舍利弗!有树名坻弥罗,若发段段断已不复见,自然生。如是,舍利弗!阿閦佛摩诃般泥洹时,身破碎不复见,还自然生。   “复次,舍利弗!阿閦佛摩诃般泥洹时,其身骨坐处见自然。譬如有山,碎破其山不复见,自然还其处。如是,舍利弗!阿閦佛摩诃般泥洹时,其骨自破碎,其身骨不复见,还自然。时一切三千大千世界人民皆供养其身,以七宝作塔,其三千大千世界当以七宝塔及叶金色莲华而庄严。   “复次,舍利弗!阿閦佛刹诸菩萨摩诃萨当作礼,有瑞应乃如是,自然诸宝于其处在前住。   “其有菩萨摩诃萨往生阿閦佛刹者,甫当生者,当见佛意无乱;命过时,一切诸天人当供养其身。诸天及人民愿发起是供养其身,菩萨摩诃萨自以功德稍于虚空疾行,都不复知其处。譬如,舍利弗!持草木着火中熏烟而行,其烟上于虚空中,亦于虚空中而行、亦于虚空中都灭,不知所至处;其佛刹诸菩萨摩诃萨法身如是。   “复次,舍利弗!阿閦佛刹菩萨摩诃萨寿命尽、临寿终时,见余菩萨摩诃萨他方世界坐佛树下时,是诸菩萨摩诃萨临寿终时瑞应,复见余菩萨入母腹中时,亦复见余菩萨摩诃萨从母右胁生出时,行七步时,见在婇女中相娱乐时,见余菩萨摩诃萨出家学道时,见余菩萨坐佛 现代汉语译本: “例如,舍利弗(Śāriputra)!有一种树名叫坻弥罗(dhīmīra),如果把它一段段砍断,就再也看不见了,但它会自然生长出来。舍利弗!阿閦佛(Akṣobhya)摩诃般涅槃(mahāparinirvāṇa)时,他的身体破碎消失不见,也会自然再生。 “再者,舍利弗!阿閦佛摩诃般涅槃时,他的身体骨骼会自然地出现在他坐过的地方。就像一座山,如果把它打碎,就再也看不见了,但它会自然地回到原来的地方。舍利弗!阿閦佛摩诃般涅槃时,他的骨骼会自行破碎,他的身体骨骼会消失不见,然后自然再生。那时,整个三千大千世界的人民都会供养他的身体,用七宝建造佛塔,整个三千大千世界将用七宝塔和金色莲花来庄严。 “再者,舍利弗!阿閦佛刹土的诸位菩萨摩诃萨(bodhisattva-mahāsattva)行礼时,会有这样的瑞应,各种宝物会自然地出现在他们面前。 “那些往生到阿閦佛刹土的菩萨摩诃萨,或者即将往生的菩萨摩诃萨,会看到佛的意念没有混乱;当他们生命结束时,一切天人和人民都会供养他们的身体。天人和人民都希望发起供养他们身体的愿望,菩萨摩诃萨会凭借自己的功德,在虚空中快速移动,完全不知道自己身在何处。就像,舍利弗!把草木放在火中燃烧,烟会升到虚空中,在虚空中移动,然后在虚空中消失,不知道它去了哪里;阿閦佛刹土的诸位菩萨摩诃萨的法身也是如此。 “再者,舍利弗!阿閦佛刹土的菩萨摩诃萨寿命将尽、临终时,会看到其他菩萨摩诃萨在其他世界的菩提树下坐着。这些菩萨摩诃萨临终时会有这样的瑞应,还会看到其他菩萨进入母亲的腹中,也会看到其他菩萨摩诃萨从母亲的右胁出生,行走七步,看到他们在宫女中享乐,看到其他菩萨摩诃萨出家修行,看到其他菩萨坐在佛
