授阿閦菩萨摩诃萨无上正真道决时,遍三千大千世界中人非人皆烧香;譬我亦如是,成无上正真道最正觉、得萨芸若慧时,遍三千大千世界中人非人皆烧香。” 贤者舍利弗白佛言:“阿閦菩萨摩诃萨乃有是无极之德。” 佛告舍利弗:“阿閦菩萨摩诃萨不但有功德,不独大目如来授其决,如是不可称说无央数功德得度无极。 “复次,舍利弗!大目如来授阿閦菩萨摩诃萨无上正真道决时,诸天、阿须伦、世间人其意皆安隐,悉得其时;譬我亦如是,成无上正真道最正觉、得萨芸若慧时,诸天、阿修罗、世间人意皆得安隐,悉得其时。 “复次,舍利弗!其大目如来授阿閦菩萨摩诃萨无上正真道决时,和夷罗、鬼神常随后护之:譬我亦如是,成无上正真道最正觉、得萨芸若慧时,和夷罗、鬼神常随我后行。 “复次,舍利弗!大目如来授阿閦菩萨摩诃萨无上正真道最正觉、得萨芸若慧时,诸天、阿修罗、世间人,以天华、天香供养之;譬我亦如是,成无上正真道最正觉、得萨芸若慧时,诸天、阿修罗、世间人,以天华、天香来供养。 “复次,舍利弗!大目如来授阿閦菩萨摩诃萨无上正真道决时,二十亿人及三十亿诸天发无上正真道意,大目如来、无所著等正觉皆授其决。 现代汉语译本:当大目如来为阿閦菩萨摩诃萨(意为大菩萨)授记无上正真之道时,遍布三千大千世界的人和非人都焚香供养;就像我一样,当我成就无上正真之道,证得最正觉,获得萨芸若(意为一切智)智慧时,遍布三千大千世界的人和非人也都会焚香供养。 贤者舍利弗(佛陀的十大弟子之一)对佛说:‘阿閦菩萨摩诃萨竟然有如此无边的功德。’ 佛告诉舍利弗:‘阿閦菩萨摩诃萨不仅有这些功德,不仅仅是大目如来为他授记,他还有如此不可称说、无量无边的功德得以度脱。’ ‘再者,舍利弗!当大目如来为阿閦菩萨摩诃萨授记无上正真之道时,诸天、阿修罗(一种神道生物)、世间的人们都感到内心安稳,都得到了适宜的时机;就像我一样,当我成就无上正真之道,证得最正觉,获得萨芸若智慧时,诸天、阿修罗、世间的人们内心都会感到安稳,都会得到适宜的时机。’ ‘再者,舍利弗!当大目如来为阿閦菩萨摩诃萨授记无上正真之道时,和夷罗(一种护法神)、鬼神常常跟随在他身后护卫他;就像我一样,当我成就无上正真之道,证得最正觉,获得萨芸若智慧时,和夷罗、鬼神也会常常跟随在我身后。’ ‘再者,舍利弗!当大目如来为阿閦菩萨摩诃萨授记无上正真之道,证得最正觉,获得萨芸若智慧时,诸天、阿修罗、世间的人们会用天上的花和香来供养他;就像我一样,当我成就无上正真之道,证得最正觉,获得萨芸若智慧时,诸天、阿修罗、世间的人们也会用天上的花和香来供养我。’ ‘再者,舍利弗!当大目如来为阿閦菩萨摩诃萨授记无上正真之道时,有二十亿人和三十亿诸天发起了无上正真道的心意,大目如来、无所著等正觉(意为不受任何事物束缚的觉悟)都为他们授记。’

English version: When the Tathagata Great Eye (Da Mu Rulai) bestowed the prediction of the unsurpassed, true, and right path upon the Bodhisattva Mahasattva Akshobhya (a great Bodhisattva), all beings, human and non-human, throughout the three thousand great thousand worlds burned incense in offering; just as it will be for me, when I achieve the unsurpassed, true, and right path, attain the most perfect enlightenment, and gain the wisdom of Sarvajna (all-knowing), all beings, human and non-human, throughout the three thousand great thousand worlds will also burn incense in offering. The venerable Shariputra (one of the Buddha's ten great disciples) said to the Buddha, 'Bodhisattva Mahasattva Akshobhya possesses such boundless merit.' The Buddha told Shariputra, 'Bodhisattva Mahasattva Akshobhya not only has these merits, and it is not only the Tathagata Great Eye who bestowed the prediction upon him, he has countless, immeasurable merits by which he is liberated.' 'Furthermore, Shariputra! When the Tathagata Great Eye bestowed the prediction of the unsurpassed, true, and right path upon the Bodhisattva Mahasattva Akshobhya, the devas (gods), asuras (a type of demigod), and people of the world all felt peace in their hearts and obtained the opportune time; just as it will be for me, when I achieve the unsurpassed, true, and right path, attain the most perfect enlightenment, and gain the wisdom of Sarvajna, the devas, asuras, and people of the world will all feel peace in their hearts and obtain the opportune time.' 'Furthermore, Shariputra! When the Tathagata Great Eye bestowed the prediction of the unsurpassed, true, and right path upon the Bodhisattva Mahasattva Akshobhya, the Hayagrivas (a type of guardian deity) and spirits constantly followed behind him to protect him; just as it will be for me, when I achieve the unsurpassed, true, and right path, attain the most perfect enlightenment, and gain the wisdom of Sarvajna, the Hayagrivas and spirits will also constantly follow behind me.' 'Furthermore, Shariputra! When the Tathagata Great Eye bestowed the prediction of the unsurpassed, true, and right path, attained the most perfect enlightenment, and gained the wisdom of Sarvajna upon the Bodhisattva Mahasattva Akshobhya, the devas, asuras, and people of the world offered him heavenly flowers and incense; just as it will be for me, when I achieve the unsurpassed, true, and right path, attain the most perfect enlightenment, and gain the wisdom of Sarvajna, the devas, asuras, and people of the world will also offer me heavenly flowers and incense.' 'Furthermore, Shariputra! When the Tathagata Great Eye bestowed the prediction of the unsurpassed, true, and right path upon the Bodhisattva Mahasattva Akshobhya, twenty billion people and thirty billion devas generated the intention for the unsurpassed, true, and right path, and the Tathagata Great Eye, the Unattached and Perfectly Enlightened One (meaning enlightenment free from any attachments), bestowed predictions upon them all.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

!其大目如来授阿閦菩萨摩诃萨无上正觉道决时,诸欲界天悉鼓天伎乐供养。 “舍利弗!是阿閦菩萨摩诃萨授决时之功德行。” 贤者舍利弗白佛言:“难及,天中天!如来、无所著、正觉诚谛说之——不可思议诸佛佛之境界、不可思议诸神神之境界、不可思议诸龙龙之境界。不可思议诸龙之境界——乃从阿閦菩萨摩诃萨初发意学受得此功德。天中天!是阿閦菩萨摩诃萨授决时亦不可思议。” 是时贤者阿难谓贤者舍利弗:“阿閦菩萨摩诃萨初发意学僧那及得号如是也?” 舍利弗谓阿难言:“是皆有因缘所致,阿閦菩萨摩诃萨初发意学僧那及德号,今佛当广解说之。” 时佛告舍利弗言:“阿閦菩萨初发是意时可令虚空有异,我所结愿不可使有异,被僧那僧涅乃如是。” 佛语舍利弗:“如阿閦菩萨摩诃萨所被僧那僧涅,宝英菩萨摩诃萨亦从阿閦菩萨学行。舍利弗!无央数菩萨不能及知阿閦菩萨所被僧那僧涅甚坚积累德行乃如是。 “舍利弗!其阿閦菩萨以成无上正真道也,最正觉,今现在阿比罗提世界。 “阿閦如来、无所著、等正觉行菩萨道时,世世人求手足、及头、目、肌肉,终不逆人意也。 “舍利弗!阿閦如来从初发意至成无上正真道最正觉 现代汉语译本:当大目如来(Mahamudra Tathagata)为阿閦菩萨摩诃萨(Akshobhya Bodhisattva Mahasattva)授记无上正觉之道时,所有欲界天都敲响天乐以供养。 舍利弗(Sariputra)!这是阿閦菩萨摩诃萨受记时的功德行。 贤者舍利弗对佛说:‘难以企及啊,天中天(Devatideva)!如来(Tathagata)、无所著(Arhat)、正觉(Samyaksambuddha)真实地宣说——诸佛佛的境界不可思议,诸神神的境界不可思议,诸龙龙的境界不可思议。诸龙的境界不可思议——乃是从阿閦菩萨摩诃萨初发心学习时就获得的功德。天中天!阿閦菩萨摩诃萨受记时也是不可思议的。’ 这时,贤者阿难(Ananda)对贤者舍利弗说:‘阿閦菩萨摩诃萨初发心学习僧那(samjna,意为认知)以及获得名号是这样的吗?’ 舍利弗对阿难说:‘这些都是有因缘的,阿閦菩萨摩诃萨初发心学习僧那以及获得德号,现在佛会详细解释的。’ 这时,佛告诉舍利弗说:‘阿閦菩萨初发此心时,可以使虚空有所不同,但我所结的愿不可使其有所不同,所被的僧那僧涅(samjna samni,意为认知和聚集)就是这样。’ 佛告诉舍利弗:‘就像阿閦菩萨摩诃萨所被的僧那僧涅,宝英菩萨摩诃萨(Ratnaketu Bodhisattva Mahasattva)也是从阿閦菩萨那里学习的。舍利弗!无数菩萨都无法了解阿閦菩萨所被的僧那僧涅是多么坚固,积累的德行就是这样。’ 舍利弗!阿閦菩萨成就无上正真道(Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi),成为最正觉(Anuttara-samyak-sambuddha),现在在阿比罗提(Abhirati)世界。 阿閦如来、无所著、等正觉(Samyaksambuddha)在行菩萨道时,世世代代有人求他的手足、头、眼睛、肌肉,他都从不违背别人的意愿。 舍利弗!阿閦如来从初发心到成就无上正真道最正觉
