是阿閦如来、无所著、等正觉昔行菩萨道时所愿而有持,阿閦佛以福德所致成佛刹如是比。” 佛复语舍利弗言:“其刹中人民饭食胜于天人饭食,其食色、香、味亦胜天人所食。 “其刹中无有王,但有法王——佛、天中天。” 佛言:“舍利弗!譬如郁单越天下人民无有王治;如是,舍利弗!阿閦如来、无所著、等正觉佛刹无有王,但有阿閦如来、天中天——法王。 “譬如忉利天帝释于坐这发念,诸天便来受其教。舍利弗!是为阿閦如来佛刹之善快。 “其刹人民不从淫欲之事。所以者何?用是阿閦如来真人法御天中天所致。 “舍利弗!是为阿閦如来昔行菩萨道时愿所致令佛刹善快。” 尔时,有异比丘闻说彼佛刹之功德,即于中起淫欲意,前白佛言:“天中天!我愿欲往生彼佛刹。” 佛便告其比丘言:“痴人!汝不得生彼佛刹。所以者何?不以立淫欲乱意者得生彼佛刹,用余善行、法清净行得生彼佛刹。” 佛语舍利弗:“阿閦如来佛刹有八味水,是诸人民所为悉共用之,人民意念欲令自然浴池有八味水满其中,用人民故即自然有浴池有八味水满其中;意念欲令水转流行便转流行、意欲令灭不现即灭不现。 “其佛刹亦不大寒、亦不大热 现代汉语译本:'这是阿閦如来(Akshobhya Tathagata,不动如来)、无所著(不受任何事物束缚)、等正觉(正等觉悟)在过去行菩萨道时所发愿而成就的,阿閦佛以其福德所致,成就了如此殊胜的佛刹。' '佛陀又对舍利弗说:‘那个佛刹中的人民所食用的饭食胜过天人的饭食,其食物的色、香、味也胜过天人所食用的。’ '那个佛刹中没有国王,只有法王——佛陀,天中之天。' '佛陀说:‘舍利弗!譬如郁单越(Uttarakuru,北俱卢洲)天下的人民没有国王统治;同样,舍利弗!阿閦如来、无所著、等正觉的佛刹也没有国王,只有阿閦如来,天中之天——法王。’ '‘譬如忉利天(Trayastrimsa,三十三天)的帝释(Indra,因陀罗)在座位上动念,诸天就会前来接受他的教诲。舍利弗!这就是阿閦如来佛刹的善妙之处。’ '那个佛刹的人民没有淫欲之事。这是为什么呢?因为这是阿閦如来真人、法御天中天所致。' '舍利弗!这就是阿閦如来过去行菩萨道时所发愿而成就的,使得佛刹如此善妙。’ '当时,有一位比丘听到描述那个佛刹的功德,心中生起淫欲之念,上前对佛陀说:‘天中天!我希望往生到那个佛刹。’ '佛陀就告诉那位比丘说:‘愚痴的人!你不能往生到那个佛刹。为什么呢?因为不能以怀有淫欲杂乱之心的人往生到那个佛刹,而是要以其余的善行、清净的修行才能往生到那个佛刹。’ '佛陀告诉舍利弗:‘阿閦如来的佛刹有八味水,那里的人民都共同使用。人民心中想让天然的浴池充满八味水,因为人民的意念,自然就有浴池充满八味水;心中想让水流动,水就流动;想让水消失,水就消失。’ '那个佛刹既不寒冷,也不炎热。'

English version: 'This is the result of the vows made by Akshobhya Tathagata (the Immovable Thus Come One), the Unattached One, the Perfectly Enlightened One, when he was practicing the Bodhisattva path in the past. Akshobhya Buddha, through his merits, has established such a magnificent Buddha-land.' 'The Buddha further said to Shariputra: ‘The food that the people in that Buddha-land eat surpasses the food of the gods, and the color, fragrance, and taste of their food also surpass what the gods eat.’ 'In that Buddha-land, there is no king, only the Dharma King—the Buddha, the Teacher of Gods and Humans.' 'The Buddha said: ‘Shariputra! Just as the people in Uttarakuru (the Northern Kurus) have no king to rule them; similarly, Shariputra! In the Buddha-land of Akshobhya Tathagata, the Unattached One, the Perfectly Enlightened One, there is no king, only Akshobhya Tathagata, the Teacher of Gods and Humans—the Dharma King.’ '‘For example, when Indra (the ruler of the gods) in Trayastrimsa (the Heaven of Thirty-Three Gods) has a thought in his seat, the gods will come to receive his teachings. Shariputra! This is the goodness and joy of Akshobhya Buddha's Buddha-land.’ 'The people in that Buddha-land do not engage in sexual desires. Why is that? It is because of the influence of Akshobhya Tathagata, the True Man, the Dharma-Ruling Teacher of Gods and Humans.' 'Shariputra! This is the result of the vows made by Akshobhya Tathagata when he was practicing the Bodhisattva path in the past, which made the Buddha-land so good and joyful.’ 'At that time, a certain monk, upon hearing the description of the merits of that Buddha-land, developed a lustful thought in his mind and went before the Buddha, saying: ‘Teacher of Gods and Humans! I wish to be reborn in that Buddha-land.’ 'The Buddha then told that monk: ‘Foolish one! You cannot be reborn in that Buddha-land. Why is that? Because those with lustful and confused minds cannot be reborn in that Buddha-land, but only those with other good deeds and pure practices can be reborn in that Buddha-land.’ 'The Buddha told Shariputra: ‘In Akshobhya Tathagata's Buddha-land, there is water with eight flavors, which all the people there use together. When the people think of having natural bathing pools filled with water of eight flavors, because of their thoughts, natural bathing pools filled with water of eight flavors appear; when they think of the water flowing, it flows; when they think of the water disappearing, it disappears.’ 'That Buddha-land is neither too cold nor too hot.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

,风徐起甚香快。是风用诸天、龙、人民故,随所念风便起——若一人念欲令风起自吹,风即独吹之;意念不欲令风起,风便不起——风起时不动人身,风随人所念起。舍利弗!是为阿閦如来佛刹之善快如昔时所愿。” 佛语舍利弗:“阿閦如来佛刹,女人意欲得珠玑、璎珞者便于树上取着之,欲得衣被者亦从树上取衣之。舍利弗!其佛刹女人无有女人之态,如我刹中女人之态也。舍利弗!我刹女人态云何?我刹女人恶色丑、恶舌、嫉妒于法、意着邪事。我刹女人有是诸态,彼佛刹女人无有是态。所以者何?用阿閦如来昔时愿所致。” 佛复语舍利弗:“阿閦佛刹,女人妊身产时,身不疲极、意不念疲极,但念安隐,亦无有苦。其女人一切亦无有诸苦,亦无有臭处恶露。舍利弗!是为阿閦如来昔时愿所致得是善法,其佛刹无有能及者。 “舍利弗!阿閦佛刹人民无有治生者、亦无有贩卖往来者,人民但共同快乐,安定寂行。其佛刹人不着爱欲、淫妷,以因缘自然爱乐。其刹风起吹梯陛树便作悲音声。舍利弗!极好五音声不及阿閦佛刹风吹梯陛树木之音声也。舍利弗!是为阿閦如来昔行佛道时所愿而有持。” 佛语舍利弗:“若有菩萨摩诃萨欲取严净佛刹者,当如阿閦佛昔行菩萨道时所愿严净 现代汉语译本:微风缓缓吹起,带来阵阵清香,令人感到舒适。这风是诸天、龙和人们所用,随着他们的意念而生起——如果一个人想让风吹起,风就会独自吹向他;如果意念不想让风吹起,风就不会吹起——风吹起时不会触动人的身体,风随着人的意念而生起。舍利弗!这就是阿閦如来佛刹的善妙之处,如同他过去所愿的那样。 佛陀告诉舍利弗:‘在阿閦如来佛刹,如果女人想要珠宝、璎珞,就可以从树上取来佩戴;如果想要衣服,也可以从树上取来穿。舍利弗!那个佛刹的女人没有女人那种娇柔的姿态,不像我这个佛刹的女人那样。舍利弗!我这个佛刹的女人是什么样子呢?我这个佛刹的女人容貌丑陋、口出恶言、嫉妒佛法、心念邪恶之事。我这个佛刹的女人有这些缺点,而那个佛刹的女人没有这些缺点。这是为什么呢?这是因为阿閦如来过去发愿所致。’ 佛陀又告诉舍利弗:‘在阿閦佛刹,女人怀孕生产时,身体不会感到疲惫,心中也不会感到疲惫,只是想着安稳,也没有痛苦。那里的女人一切都没有痛苦,也没有污秽的恶露。舍利弗!这是阿閦如来过去发愿所得到的善法,他的佛刹没有其他佛刹可以相比。’ ‘舍利弗!阿閦佛刹的人民没有从事生产的,也没有做买卖往来的,人民只是共同快乐,安稳地修行。那个佛刹的人不执着于爱欲、淫荡,因为因缘自然而生爱乐。那个佛刹的风吹动台阶和树木,就会发出悲凉的声音。舍利弗!再好的五种乐器发出的声音也比不上阿閦佛刹风吹动台阶和树木的声音。舍利弗!这是阿閦如来过去修行佛道时所发愿而得到的。’ 佛陀告诉舍利弗:‘如果有菩萨摩诃萨想要取得庄严清净的佛刹,应当像阿閦佛过去修行菩萨道时所发愿的那样庄严清净。’

English version: A gentle breeze arises, bringing a very pleasant fragrance. This wind is used by the devas (gods), nagas (dragons), and people, arising according to their thoughts—if a person thinks to make the wind rise, the wind will blow solely for them; if the thought is not to make the wind rise, the wind will not rise—when the wind rises, it does not move the human body, the wind arises according to people's thoughts. Shariputra! This is the goodness and pleasantness of the Buddha-land of Akshobhya (Immovable One), just as he wished in the past. The Buddha said to Shariputra: 'In the Buddha-land of Akshobhya, if women desire pearls and necklaces, they can take them from the trees and wear them; if they desire clothing, they can also take clothing from the trees. Shariputra! The women in that Buddha-land do not have the demeanor of women, unlike the women in my Buddha-land. Shariputra! What is the demeanor of women in my Buddha-land? The women in my Buddha-land are ugly in appearance, have evil tongues, are jealous of the Dharma (teachings), and are attached to evil things. The women in my Buddha-land have these characteristics, while the women in that Buddha-land do not have these characteristics. Why is this so? It is because of the vows made by Akshobhya in the past.' The Buddha further said to Shariputra: 'In the Buddha-land of Akshobhya, when women are pregnant and give birth, their bodies do not feel exhausted, and their minds do not feel exhausted, they only think of peace and tranquility, and there is no suffering. All the women there have no suffering, and there is no foul-smelling discharge. Shariputra! This is the good Dharma obtained by Akshobhya's vows in the past, and no other Buddha-land can compare to his.' 'Shariputra! The people in the Buddha-land of Akshobhya do not engage in production, nor do they engage in buying and selling; the people simply share happiness together, and practice in peace and tranquility. The people in that Buddha-land are not attached to love and lust, but naturally love and rejoice because of causes and conditions. When the wind blows the steps and trees in that land, they produce a sound of sadness. Shariputra! Even the best sounds of the five musical instruments cannot compare to the sound of the wind blowing the steps and trees in the Buddha-land of Akshobhya. Shariputra! This is what Akshobhya wished for when he practiced the path of the Buddha in the past, and thus he obtained it.' The Buddha said to Shariputra: 'If there are Bodhisattva Mahasattvas (great beings) who wish to obtain a pure and adorned Buddha-land, they should adorn and purify it as Akshobhya wished when he practiced the Bodhisattva path in the past.' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 取其刹。”

佛复语舍利弗:“阿閦佛刹无有日、月光明所照,亦无有窈冥之处、亦无有挂碍。所以者何?用阿閦如来、无所著、等正觉光明皆照三千大千世界常明。譬如绞露精舍坚闭门,风不得入,好细涂以白垩之,持摩尼宝着其中,其珠便以光明照,其中诸人民昼夜承其光明。如是,舍利弗!其阿閦如来、无所著、等正觉光明常照三千大千世界。舍利弗!绞露精舍者,谓是阿比罗提世界也;摩尼宝者,谓是阿閦如来也;摩尼宝光明者,谓是阿閦如来之光明也;精舍中人者,谓是阿閦佛刹中人民安乐者也。” 佛语舍利弗:“阿閦如来行所至处,于足迹下地自然生千叶金色莲华。舍利弗!是为阿閦如来昔行菩萨道时所愿而有待。” 贤者舍利弗问佛言:“阿閦如来、无所著、等正觉入殿舍时,自然生千叶金色莲华耶?为在所至处自然生乎?” 佛告贤者舍利弗:“阿閦如来若入郡国、县邑,所至到处亦等如入殿舍时也,亦自然生千叶金色莲华。若善男子、善女人意念欲令入殿舍足下自然生莲华者,皆使莲华合聚一处便合聚;意欲令上在虚空中,承佛威神,其莲华用人民故,便上在虚空中而罗列成行。” 佛复语舍利弗:“其三千大千世界乃如是,阿閦如来、无所著、等正觉若遣化人 现代汉语译本:取那个佛刹。” 佛陀又对舍利弗说:‘阿閦佛(Akshobhya Buddha)的佛刹没有日月的光明照耀,也没有黑暗之处,也没有任何障碍。这是为什么呢?因为阿閦如来(Akshobhya Tathagata)、无所著(无执着)、等正觉(正等觉悟)的光明照耀着整个三千大千世界,使其永远光明。譬如绞露精舍(Jiaolu Jingshe)紧闭大门,风无法进入,用白垩仔细涂抹,在其中放置摩尼宝(Mani Jewel),这颗宝珠便会发出光明照亮其中,那里的人民日夜都沐浴在这光明之中。舍利弗!阿閦如来、无所著、等正觉的光明也像这样,永远照耀着三千大千世界。舍利弗!绞露精舍指的是阿比罗提世界(Abhirati World);摩尼宝指的是阿閦如来;摩尼宝的光明指的是阿閦如来的光明;精舍中的人指的是阿閦佛刹中安乐的人民。’ 佛陀告诉舍利弗:‘阿閦如来所行之处,在足迹下,地上自然会生出千叶金色的莲花。舍利弗!这是阿閦如来过去修行菩萨道时所发的愿力所致。’ 贤者舍利弗问佛陀说:‘阿閦如来、无所著、等正觉进入殿堂时,自然会生出千叶金色莲花吗?还是在所到之处都会自然生出呢?’ 佛陀告诉贤者舍利弗:‘阿閦如来如果进入郡国、县邑,所到之处也如同进入殿堂时一样,都会自然生出千叶金色莲花。如果善男子、善女人意念想要让进入殿堂时足下自然生出莲花,那么这些莲花就会聚集在一起;如果意念想要让莲花升到虚空中,凭借佛陀的威神力,这些莲花为了人民的缘故,就会升到虚空中排列成行。’ 佛陀又对舍利弗说:‘这三千大千世界就是这样,阿閦如来、无所著、等正觉如果派遣化身’

English version: Take that Buddha-land.’ The Buddha further said to Shariputra, ‘The Buddha-land of Akshobhya (Akshobhya Buddha) has no illumination from the sun or moon, nor is there any darkness or any obstruction. Why is this so? Because the light of Akshobhya Tathagata (Akshobhya Tathagata), the Unattached One, the Perfectly Enlightened One, illuminates the entire three-thousand great thousand worlds, making it perpetually bright. It is like the Jiaolu Jingshe (Jiaolu Vihara) with its doors tightly shut, where the wind cannot enter. It is carefully plastered with white chalk, and a Mani Jewel (Mani Jewel) is placed inside. This jewel then emits light, illuminating the interior, and the people there bathe in this light day and night. Shariputra! The light of Akshobhya Tathagata, the Unattached One, the Perfectly Enlightened One, is also like this, perpetually illuminating the three-thousand great thousand worlds. Shariputra! The Jiaolu Vihara refers to the Abhirati World (Abhirati World); the Mani Jewel refers to Akshobhya Tathagata; the light of the Mani Jewel refers to the light of Akshobhya Tathagata; and the people in the Vihara refer to the peaceful and happy people in the Buddha-land of Akshobhya.’ The Buddha told Shariputra, ‘Wherever Akshobhya Tathagata walks, a thousand-petaled golden lotus flower naturally grows beneath his feet. Shariputra! This is due to the vows made by Akshobhya Tathagata when he was practicing the Bodhisattva path in the past.’ The venerable Shariputra asked the Buddha, ‘When Akshobhya Tathagata, the Unattached One, the Perfectly Enlightened One, enters a palace, do thousand-petaled golden lotus flowers naturally grow? Or do they naturally grow wherever he goes?’ The Buddha told the venerable Shariputra, ‘If Akshobhya Tathagata enters a district or a town, wherever he goes, it is the same as when he enters a palace, and thousand-petaled golden lotus flowers will naturally grow. If good men or good women wish that lotus flowers naturally grow beneath his feet when he enters a palace, then these lotus flowers will gather together in one place. If they wish that the lotus flowers rise into the sky, then by the power of the Buddha, these lotus flowers, for the sake of the people, will rise into the sky and arrange themselves in rows.’ The Buddha further said to Shariputra, ‘The three-thousand great thousand worlds are like this. If Akshobhya Tathagata, the Unattached One, the Perfectly Enlightened One, sends forth an emanation’ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
