English

English version 'If an Upasika (female lay follower) has evil deeds or slanders evil deeds, I am deceiving all the Buddhas, the Bhagavan (the Blessed One) - those Buddhas, Devatideva (God of Gods), who are now teaching the Dharma in countless, inconceivable, immeasurable worlds.' 'Furthermore, Devatideva! I shall practice until I attain Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi (Supreme Perfect Enlightenment), so that all disciples in my Buddha-ksetra (Buddha-field) will be without evil deeds, and I shall cultivate the Buddha path to make the Buddha-ksetra pure and adorned.' 'O Devatideva! I have generated this mind of Sarvajna (Omniscience), if I truly aspire to attain Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi, if I lose semen in a dream, even until I attain Supreme Perfect Enlightenment, I am deceiving all the Buddhas, the Bhagavan - those Buddhas, Devatideva, who are now teaching the Dharma in countless, inconceivable, immeasurable worlds.' 'Furthermore, Devatideva! I shall practice until I attain Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi, so that all Bodhisattvas who have left home to practice the path in my Buddha-ksetra will not lose semen in their dreams.' 'O Devatideva! I have generated this mind of Sarvajna, if I truly aspire to attain Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi, if mothers in the world have various impure discharges, and when I attain Supreme Perfect Enlightenment, mothers in my Buddha-ksetra still have various impure discharges, I am deceiving all the Buddhas, the Bhagavan - those Buddhas, Devatideva, who are now teaching the Dharma in countless, inconceivable, immeasurable worlds.' 'This is the Dharma practice that Bodhisattvas think and act upon as they wish, and the Buddha also teaches them accordingly.' The Buddha said to Sariputra (one of the Buddha's ten great disciples): 'At that time, there was a Bhiksu (monk) who made a vow to Akshobhya (Immovable) Bodhisattva-mahasattva (Great Bodhisattva): 'If you are a Bodhisattva who is Avaivartika (non-retrogressing), then press the ground with your right finger and cause the earth to shake greatly.' 'At that time, Akshobhya Bodhisattva, immediately receiving the Buddha's majestic power and also being endowed with great power, caused the earth to shake six times. What Akshobhya Bodhisattva caused to happen was exactly as he had said, without any difference.' The Buddha said to Sariputra: 'If there is a Bodhisattva who wishes to attain Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi,' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

道最正觉者,当学阿閦菩萨摩诃萨行。菩萨摩诃萨以学阿閦菩萨行者,不久亦当即取佛刹土,当复成无上正真道最正觉也。”   尔时,贤者舍利弗问佛言:“天中天!阿閦菩萨摩诃萨初发意时,有几何天在会中?”   佛告舍利弗:“阿閦菩萨初发意学时,三千大千世界中四天王天、帝释及憋魔、梵三钵一切皆向阿閦菩萨叉手说是语:‘昔所不闻是僧那。’   “诸天闻以便说言:‘阿閦菩萨成无上正真道,若有人生其佛刹者,是人福德不小也。’”   贤者舍利弗白佛言:“未曾闻余菩萨摩诃萨以是色像学僧那,我亦不见亦不闻如阿閦菩萨摩诃萨及天中天为作如是之名。”   佛言:“如是也。舍利弗!少有菩萨摩诃萨以是色像学僧那及无上正真道如阿閦菩萨摩诃萨。于是,舍利弗!陂陀劫中,诸菩萨摩诃萨其德不及阿閦菩萨摩诃萨之功德也。”   佛语舍利弗:“尔时,其大目如来、无所著、等正觉授阿閦菩萨无上正真道决:‘汝为当来佛,号阿閦如来、无所著、等正觉,成慧之行而为师父,安定世间无上大人,为法之御,天上天下尊,佛、天中天。亦如提洹竭佛授我决。’”   时佛语舍利弗:“大目如来授阿閦菩萨摩诃萨无上正真道决时,其三千大千世界皆为大明;譬我亦如 现代汉语译本:若要证得无上正等正觉,应当学习阿閦菩萨摩诃萨(大菩萨)的修行。菩萨摩诃萨通过学习阿閦菩萨的修行,不久也将获得佛的净土,并最终成就无上正等正觉。 那时,贤者舍利弗问佛陀:‘世尊!阿閦菩萨摩诃萨初发菩提心时,有多少天神在场?’ 佛陀告诉舍利弗:‘阿閦菩萨初发心修行时,三千大千世界中的四天王天(四大天王所居之天)、帝释(忉利天主)、魔王波旬、梵天王等一切天神都向阿閦菩萨合掌,并说道:‘过去从未听闻过这样的发心。’ ‘诸天听到后便说:‘阿閦菩萨将成就无上正等正觉,若有人能往生到他的佛土,此人的福德将非常巨大。’ 贤者舍利弗对佛陀说:‘我从未听闻其他菩萨摩诃萨以这样的形象修行,我也没有见过或听过像阿閦菩萨摩诃萨这样,以及世尊您为他所作的如此殊胜的名号。’ 佛陀说:‘确实如此,舍利弗!很少有菩萨摩诃萨像阿閦菩萨摩诃萨这样以这样的形象修行,并证得无上正等正觉。舍利弗!在陂陀劫中,其他菩萨摩诃萨的功德都比不上阿閦菩萨摩诃萨的功德。’ 佛陀告诉舍利弗:‘当时,大目如来(佛名)、无所著、等正觉为阿閦菩萨授记无上正等正觉:‘你将来会成佛,号为阿閦如来、无所著、等正觉,成就智慧之行,成为导师,安定世间,成为无上大人,为法之御,天上天下至尊,佛、天中天。也像提洹竭佛(佛名)为我授记一样。’ 当时,佛陀告诉舍利弗:‘大目如来为阿閦菩萨摩诃萨授记无上正等正觉时,三千大千世界都变得光明;就像我一样,’

English version: Those who seek the most perfect enlightenment should learn the practices of Akshobhya Bodhisattva Mahasattva (great bodhisattva). Bodhisattva Mahasattvas, by learning the practices of Akshobhya Bodhisattva, will soon obtain a Buddha's pure land and ultimately achieve the most perfect enlightenment. At that time, the venerable Shariputra asked the Buddha: 'World Honored One! When Akshobhya Bodhisattva Mahasattva first generated the aspiration for enlightenment, how many deities were present?' The Buddha told Shariputra: 'When Akshobhya Bodhisattva first began his practice, all the deities in the three thousand great thousand worlds, including the Four Heavenly Kings (the heavens where the Four Heavenly Kings reside), Indra (the lord of the Trayastrimsha Heaven), Mara (the demon king), and Brahma, all folded their hands towards Akshobhya Bodhisattva and said: 'We have never heard of such an aspiration before.' 'Upon hearing this, the deities said: 'Akshobhya Bodhisattva will achieve the most perfect enlightenment. If anyone is born in his Buddha land, that person's merit will be immense.' The venerable Shariputra said to the Buddha: 'I have never heard of any other Bodhisattva Mahasattva practicing with such an appearance, nor have I seen or heard of anyone like Akshobhya Bodhisattva Mahasattva, and the honorable name you have given him.' The Buddha said: 'It is indeed so, Shariputra! There are very few Bodhisattva Mahasattvas who practice with such an appearance and attain the most perfect enlightenment like Akshobhya Bodhisattva Mahasattva. Shariputra! In the Bhadra Kalpa, the merits of other Bodhisattva Mahasattvas cannot compare to the merits of Akshobhya Bodhisattva Mahasattva.' The Buddha told Shariputra: 'At that time, the Tathagata Mahachakshu (name of a Buddha), the Unattached One, the Perfectly Enlightened One, gave Akshobhya Bodhisattva the prediction of the most perfect enlightenment: 'You will become a Buddha in the future, named Akshobhya Tathagata, the Unattached One, the Perfectly Enlightened One, accomplishing the practice of wisdom, becoming a teacher, stabilizing the world, becoming the supreme great one, the guide of the Dharma, the most honored in heaven and earth, a Buddha, the World Honored One. Just as Dipankara Buddha (name of a Buddha) gave me the prediction.' At that time, the Buddha told Shariputra: 'When the Tathagata Mahachakshu gave Akshobhya Bodhisattva Mahasattva the prediction of the most perfect enlightenment, the three thousand great thousand worlds became bright; just like me,' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version When (Mahachakshu Tathagata) bestows the prediction of Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi (supreme perfect enlightenment) upon the Bodhisattva-Mahasattva (great Bodhisattva) Akshobhya, the entire Trisahasra-Mahasahasra-lokadhatu (a great world system in Buddhist cosmology) becomes brilliantly illuminated. 'Furthermore, Sariputra! When the Bodhisattva-Mahasattva Akshobhya achieves Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi, attains supreme perfect enlightenment, and gains Sarvajna (omniscience), his Trisahasra-Mahasahasra-lokadhatu will shake six times; just as I, when I achieve Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi and gain Sarvajna, the Trisahasra-Mahasahasra-lokadhatu will also shake six times.' 'Furthermore, Sariputra! When the Bodhisattva-Mahasattva Akshobhya is given the prediction of Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi, all the herbs and trees in this Trisahasra-Mahasahasra-lokadhatu will naturally bend down and pay homage to Akshobhya; just as I, when I achieve Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi, attain supreme perfect enlightenment, and gain Sarvajna, all the herbs and trees in this Trisahasra-Mahasahasra-lokadhatu will naturally bend down and pay homage to me.' 'Furthermore, Sariputra! When Mahachakshu Tathagata (the Tathagata with Great Eyes), Aparigraha (unattached), Samyak-sambuddha (perfectly enlightened one) bestows the prediction of Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi upon the Bodhisattva-Mahasattva Akshobhya, all the Devas (gods), Nagas (dragons), Yakshas (demons), Gandharvas (celestial musicians), Asuras (demigods), Garudas (mythical birds), Kinnaras (celestial musicians), and Mahoragas (great serpents) in this Trisahasra-Mahasahasra-lokadhatu will fold their hands and pay homage to Akshobhya; just as I, when I achieve Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi, attain supreme perfect enlightenment, and gain Sarvajna, all the Devas, Nagas, Yakshas, Gandharvas, Asuras, Garudas, Kinnaras, and Mahoragas in the Trisahasra-Mahasahasra-lokadhatu will fold their hands and pay homage to me.'
