“阿閦如来成最正觉时,其三千大千世界中诸人民,七日不食饮、亦不妄食饮、亦不妄谀谄、身亦无疲极之想。如是也,俱想念安隐好,喜相爱敬,欢喜意以得时念。尔时,诸人民、诸欲天皆弃秽浊思想。所以者何?用阿閦如来昔时愿所致得是德号,其三千大千世界一切人民叉手向阿閦如来。其佛刹如是,无央数佛刹不及是阿閦佛刹之善快。 “舍利弗!是为阿閦如来昔行菩萨道之所愿而有持。诸菩萨摩诃萨所愿有持者,佛佛刹便善快。” 佛语舍利弗:“我昔行菩萨道时,如所愿今自然得之。阿閦如来成无上正真道最正觉时,其三千大千世界诸人民得天眼者、未得天眼者皆见其光明。舍利弗!是为阿閦如来昔行菩萨道时所愿而有持。” 佛复语舍利弗:“阿閦如来成无上正真道最正觉往诣佛树时,诸憋魔不能发念,何况当复能往娆萨芸若慧?舍利弗!是为阿閦如来昔行菩萨道时所愿而有持。 “复次,舍利弗!阿閦如来成无上正真道最正觉、得萨芸若慧时,无央数那术亿百千诸天人于虚空住,以天华、天栴檀、杂香、天捣香、伎乐供养,散阿閦佛上。供养已,其天华、天香、天捣香、天栴檀香、天杂香悉于虚空中合住,化成圆华盖。舍利弗!是为阿閦如来昔行菩 现代汉语译本 明亮,大地六次震动。 ‘当阿閦如来(Akshobhya Tathagata)成就最正觉时,他的三千大千世界中的所有人民,七天不吃不喝,也不妄食妄饮,也不虚伪谄媚,身体也没有疲惫的感觉。他们都想着安稳美好,互相喜爱尊敬,以欢喜的心情来忆念。那时,所有的人民和欲界诸天都抛弃了污秽的思想。这是为什么呢?因为阿閦如来过去所发的愿力,使他获得了这样的功德。他的三千大千世界中的一切人民都双手合十,面向阿閦如来。他的佛刹就是这样,无数的佛刹都比不上阿閦佛刹的善妙快乐。 ‘舍利弗(Sariputra)!这就是阿閦如来过去行菩萨道时所发的愿力而获得的。诸菩萨摩诃萨所发的愿力如果能够坚持,那么佛刹就会变得善妙快乐。’ 佛告诉舍利弗:‘我过去行菩萨道时,所发的愿现在自然而然地实现了。当阿閦如来成就无上正真道最正觉时,他的三千大千世界中的所有人民,无论是得到天眼的还是没有得到天眼的,都能看到他的光明。舍利弗!这就是阿閦如来过去行菩萨道时所发的愿力而获得的。’ 佛又告诉舍利弗:‘当阿閦如来成就无上正真道最正觉,前往菩提树时,所有的魔都不能生起任何念头,更何况还能去扰乱他的萨芸若慧(Sarvajna-jnana,一切智)呢?舍利弗!这就是阿閦如来过去行菩萨道时所发的愿力而获得的。 ‘再者,舍利弗!当阿閦如来成就无上正真道最正觉,获得萨芸若慧时,无数那由他亿百千诸天人住在虚空中,用天花、天栴檀、杂香、天捣香、伎乐来供养,散在阿閦佛的身上。供养之后,这些天花、天香、天捣香、天栴檀香、天杂香都聚集在虚空中,化成一个圆形的华盖。舍利弗!这就是阿閦如来过去行菩萨道时所发的愿力而获得的。

English version Bright, the earth shook six times. ‘When Akshobhya Tathagata attains the most perfect enlightenment, all the people in his three thousand great thousand worlds will not eat or drink for seven days, nor will they eat or drink improperly, nor will they be deceitful or flattering, and their bodies will not feel any fatigue. They will all think of peace and happiness, love and respect each other, and joyfully remember the time. At that time, all the people and the desire realm gods will abandon their impure thoughts. Why is this? Because of the vows that Akshobhya Tathagata made in the past, which enabled him to obtain such merits. All the people in his three thousand great thousand worlds will fold their hands and face Akshobhya Tathagata. Such is his Buddha-land, and countless Buddha-lands cannot compare to the goodness and joy of Akshobhya's Buddha-land.’ ‘Sariputra! This is what Akshobhya Tathagata obtained through the vows he made when he practiced the Bodhisattva path in the past. If the vows made by the Bodhisattva Mahasattvas can be upheld, then the Buddha-lands will become good and joyful.’ The Buddha said to Sariputra, ‘When I practiced the Bodhisattva path in the past, the vows I made are now naturally fulfilled. When Akshobhya Tathagata attains the unsurpassed, true, and perfect enlightenment, all the people in his three thousand great thousand worlds, whether they have obtained the divine eye or not, will see his light. Sariputra! This is what Akshobhya Tathagata obtained through the vows he made when he practiced the Bodhisattva path in the past.’ The Buddha further said to Sariputra, ‘When Akshobhya Tathagata attains the unsurpassed, true, and perfect enlightenment and goes to the Bodhi tree, all the demons will not be able to generate any thoughts, let alone be able to disturb his Sarvajna-jnana (all-knowing wisdom). Sariputra! This is what Akshobhya Tathagata obtained through the vows he made when he practiced the Bodhisattva path in the past.’ ‘Furthermore, Sariputra! When Akshobhya Tathagata attains the unsurpassed, true, and perfect enlightenment and obtains Sarvajna-jnana, countless nayutas of billions of gods and humans will dwell in the sky, offering celestial flowers, celestial sandalwood, various fragrances, celestial pounded incense, and music, scattering them upon Akshobhya Buddha. After the offerings, these celestial flowers, celestial fragrances, celestial pounded incense, celestial sandalwood fragrance, and various celestial fragrances will all gather in the sky and transform into a round flower canopy. Sariputra! This is what Akshobhya Tathagata obtained through the vows he made when he practiced the Bodhisattva path in the past.’ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 萨道时所愿而有持。

“阿閦如来光明皆照明三千大千世界常明,阿閦如来光明悉蔽日、月之光明,及一切诸天光明皆令灭,使人民不复见日、月之明。舍利弗!是为阿閦如来昔行菩萨道时所愿而有持。” 贤者舍利弗白佛言:“天中天!阿閦如来、无所著、等正觉昔行菩萨道时,以被是大僧那僧涅乃作是愿?” 佛言:“昔行菩萨道时,若干百千人、不可复计无央数人积累德本,于无上正真道持是积累德本,愿作佛道及净其佛刹,如所愿欲严其佛刹即亦具足其愿。 “复次,舍利弗!阿閦佛树以七宝作之,高四十里,周匝二十里,其枝叶旁行四十里,其枝下垂,其栏楯绕树,周匝五百六十里,阿閦如来于其树下得萨芸若慧。” 佛语舍利弗:“如世间巧人鼓百种音乐,其声不如阿閦佛刹中梯陛树木之音声——风适起吹梯陛,树木相叩作悲声。” 佛语舍利弗:“听说阿閦如来、无所著、等正觉刹中之净快,谛听,善思念之,今当为汝说之。” 贤者舍利弗言:“唯然,世尊!愿乐欲闻。” 佛言:“阿閦如来刹中无有三恶道。何等为三?一者、泥犁,二者、禽兽,三者、薜荔。一切人皆行善事。 “其地平正,生树木无有高下,无有山陵溪谷、亦无有砾石 现代汉语译本 ‘这是阿閦如来(Akshobhya Tathagata)在过去发愿并坚持的结果。’ ‘阿閦如来(Akshobhya Tathagata)的光明能够照亮三千大千世界,并且他的光明能够遮蔽太阳、月亮的光芒,以及所有诸天的光明,使人们不再能看到日月的光辉。舍利弗(Sariputra)!这就是阿閦如来(Akshobhya Tathagata)过去在修行菩萨道时所发愿并坚持的结果。’ 贤者舍利弗(Sariputra)向佛陀说道:‘天中天!阿閦如来(Akshobhya Tathagata)、无所著(不执着)、等正觉(Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi)在过去修行菩萨道时,是积累了多少功德才发下这样的愿望呢?’ 佛陀说道:‘过去在修行菩萨道时,有无数百千人,多到无法计算的人积累了功德,他们将这些功德用于无上正真之道,发愿成佛并净化他们的佛刹(Buddha-kshetra),他们希望如何庄严他们的佛刹,他们的愿望就会实现。’ ‘此外,舍利弗(Sariputra)!阿閦佛(Akshobhya Buddha)的树是用七宝制成的,高四十里,周长二十里,树枝向四周延伸四十里,树枝下垂,栏杆环绕着树,周长五百六十里。阿閦如来(Akshobhya Tathagata)在那棵树下获得了萨芸若慧(Sarvajna-jnana)。’ 佛陀告诉舍利弗(Sariputra):‘就像世间的巧匠演奏百种音乐,其声音也比不上阿閦佛刹(Akshobhya Buddha-kshetra)中阶梯和树木的声音——当风吹动阶梯时,树木相互碰撞发出悦耳的声音。’ 佛陀告诉舍利弗(Sariputra):‘如果你想听阿閦如来(Akshobhya Tathagata)、无所著(不执着)、等正觉(Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi)的佛刹(Buddha-kshetra)的清净和快乐,仔细听,好好思考,我现在就为你讲述。’ 贤者舍利弗(Sariputra)说道:‘是的,世尊!我非常乐意听闻。’ 佛陀说道:‘阿閦如来(Akshobhya Tathagata)的佛刹(Buddha-kshetra)中没有三恶道。哪三恶道呢?一是泥犁(Naraka),二是禽兽(Tiryagyoni),三是薜荔(Preta)。所有的人都行善事。’ ‘那里的地面平坦,树木生长没有高低之分,没有山丘溪谷,也没有砾石。’

English version 'This is the result of the vows made and upheld by Akshobhya Tathagata in the past.' 'The light of Akshobhya Tathagata illuminates the three thousand great thousand worlds, and his light obscures the light of the sun and moon, as well as the light of all the heavens, so that people can no longer see the light of the sun and moon. Sariputra! This is the result of the vows made and upheld by Akshobhya Tathagata when he was practicing the Bodhisattva path in the past.' The venerable Sariputra said to the Buddha, 'World Honored One! How much merit did Akshobhya Tathagata, the Unattached One, the Perfectly Enlightened One, accumulate when he was practicing the Bodhisattva path in the past to make such a vow?' The Buddha said, 'In the past, when practicing the Bodhisattva path, countless hundreds of thousands of people accumulated merit, and they used this merit for the unsurpassed true path, vowing to become Buddhas and purify their Buddha-fields. They wished to adorn their Buddha-fields in a certain way, and their wishes were fulfilled.' 'Furthermore, Sariputra! The tree of Akshobhya Buddha is made of seven treasures, forty leagues high, twenty leagues in circumference, its branches extending forty leagues in all directions, its branches hanging down, and railings surrounding the tree, five hundred and sixty leagues in circumference. Akshobhya Tathagata attained Sarvajna-jnana under that tree.' The Buddha said to Sariputra, 'Just as a skilled artisan in the world plays a hundred kinds of music, its sound is not as good as the sound of the steps and trees in the Buddha-field of Akshobhya—when the wind blows the steps, the trees collide with each other, making a pleasant sound.' The Buddha said to Sariputra, 'If you want to hear about the purity and joy of the Buddha-field of Akshobhya Tathagata, the Unattached One, the Perfectly Enlightened One, listen carefully, think well, and I will now tell you.' The venerable Sariputra said, 'Yes, World Honored One! I am very eager to hear.' The Buddha said, 'In the Buddha-field of Akshobhya Tathagata, there are no three evil paths. What are the three? First, Naraka (hell), second, Tiryagyoni (animals), and third, Preta (hungry ghosts). All people do good deeds.' 'The ground there is flat, the trees grow without any difference in height, there are no hills or valleys, and there are no pebbles.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

崩山。其地,行足蹈其上即减,这举足便还复如故。譬如綩綖枕头,枕其上即为减,这举头便还复如故;其地如是。 “其佛刹无有三病。何等为三?一者、风,二者、寒,三者、气。 “其佛刹人一切皆无有恶色者、亦无有丑者,其淫、怒、痴薄,其佛刹人民皆悉无有牢狱拘闭之事,一切皆无有众邪异道。 “其刹中树木常有花实,人民皆从树取五色衣被,众共用着之,其衣被甚姝好,无败色者。” 佛语舍利弗:“人民所著衣香譬如天华之香,其饭食香美如天树香,无有绝时。 “诸人民着无央数种种衣被,其佛刹人民随所念食即自然在前。譬如,舍利弗!忉利天人随所念食即自然在前。如是,其刹人民随所念欲得何食即自然在前,人民无有贪于饮食者。 “复次,舍利弗!其佛刹人民所卧起处以七宝为交露精舍,满无有空缺处。 “其浴池中有八味水,人民众共用之,其水转相灌注,诸人民终不失善法行。 “譬如,舍利弗!玉女宝过逾凡女人不及,其德如天女。如是,舍利弗!其佛刹女人德欲比玉女宝者,玉女宝不及其佛刹女人百倍、千倍、万倍、亿倍、巨亿万倍不与等。 “人民以七宝为床,上布好綩綖,悉福德致自然为生。 “舍利弗! 现代汉语译本 崩塌的山。那里的地面,脚踩上去就会下陷,抬起脚就恢复原样。就像软枕头一样,枕上去就会下陷,抬起头就恢复原样;那里的地面就是这样。 ‘那个佛国没有三种疾病。哪三种呢?一是风病,二是寒病,三是气病。 ‘那个佛国的人民都没有难看的脸色,也没有丑陋的人,他们的淫欲、嗔怒、愚痴都很淡薄。那个佛国的人民都没有牢狱拘禁的事情,一切都没有邪门歪道。 ‘那个佛国中的树木常常开花结果,人民都从树上取用五彩的衣被,大家共同穿用,那些衣被非常美好,没有褪色的。 佛告诉舍利弗:‘人民所穿的衣服的香味就像天上的花香,他们吃的饭菜的香味就像天上的树香,没有断绝的时候。 ‘人民穿着无数种的衣被,那个佛国的人民只要心中想到食物,食物就会自然出现在面前。就像舍利弗!忉利天的人只要心中想到食物,食物就会自然出现在面前。同样,那个佛国的人民只要心中想要得到什么食物,食物就会自然出现在面前,人民没有贪恋饮食的。 ‘再者,舍利弗!那个佛国人民睡觉和起床的地方都是用七宝交错建造的精舍,布满整个地方没有空缺。 ‘浴池中有八种味道的水,人民共同使用,水互相灌注,人民始终不会失去善法修行。 ‘就像舍利弗!玉女宝比凡间的女子更加美丽,她的德行就像天女一样。就像这样,舍利弗!那个佛国的女人的德行如果和玉女宝相比,玉女宝比不上那个佛国女人的百倍、千倍、万倍、亿倍、巨亿万倍。 ‘人民用七宝做床,上面铺着精美的软垫,都是福德所致,自然而生。 ‘舍利弗!’

English version A collapsing mountain. The ground there sinks when you step on it, and returns to its original state when you lift your foot. It's like a soft pillow, which sinks when you lay your head on it and returns to its original shape when you lift your head; the ground there is like that. 'That Buddha-land has no three kinds of sickness. What are the three? First, wind sickness; second, cold sickness; third, gas sickness.' 'The people of that Buddha-land have no unpleasant complexions, nor are there any ugly people. Their lust, anger, and ignorance are weak. The people of that Buddha-land have no imprisonment or confinement, and there are no heretical paths.' 'The trees in that land always bear flowers and fruits. The people take five-colored clothing from the trees, and they all wear them together. The clothing is very beautiful and does not fade.' The Buddha said to Shariputra, 'The fragrance of the clothes worn by the people is like the fragrance of heavenly flowers, and the fragrance of their food is like the fragrance of heavenly trees, never ceasing.' 'The people wear countless kinds of clothing, and the people of that Buddha-land, as soon as they think of food, it appears naturally before them. Just like, Shariputra! The people of Trayastrimsha heaven, as soon as they think of food, it appears naturally before them. Likewise, the people of that land, as soon as they desire any food, it appears naturally before them, and the people have no greed for food.' 'Furthermore, Shariputra! The places where the people of that Buddha-land sleep and rise are exquisite dwellings made of interwoven seven treasures, filling the entire space without any gaps.' 'In the bathing ponds, there is water with eight flavors, which the people use together. The water flows and pours into each other, and the people never lose their practice of good dharma.' 'Just like, Shariputra! The Jade Maiden Treasure is more beautiful than ordinary women, and her virtue is like that of a heavenly maiden. Likewise, Shariputra! If the virtue of the women of that Buddha-land were compared to the Jade Maiden Treasure, the Jade Maiden Treasure would not be equal to the women of that Buddha-land by a hundredfold, a thousandfold, a millionfold, a billionfold, or a hundred billionfold.' 'The people use seven treasures for beds, and on top of them are spread fine soft cushions, all naturally produced by their merit and virtue.' 'Shariputra!' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
