English version Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling on Mount Gṛdhrakūṭa in Rājagṛha, together with a great assembly of twelve hundred and fifty bhikṣus, and also with five thousand bodhisattva-mahāsattvas—who had attained great patience (kṣānti) and unimpeded eloquence (pratibhāna), were able to subdue demonic forces and control various heretics, had generated the mind for the great path, had attained samādhi, were masters of total retention, possessed the four unimpeded wisdoms (catuḥ-pratisamvidā), were versed in the four means of attraction (catvāri saṃgrahavastūni) and the supreme and profound pāramitās, and all the Buddha-dharmas, and countless immeasurable meritorious virtues—their names were: Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, Samantadṛśa Bodhisattva, Samantāvalokita Bodhisattva, Samantaprabha Bodhisattva, Samantadyuti Bodhisattva, Adhyāśaya Bodhisattva, Adhyāśayavardhana Bodhisattva, Anantādhyāśaya Bodhisattva, Vipulādhyāśaya Bodhisattva, Akṣayādhyāśaya Bodhisattva, Dharaṇīdhara Bodhisattva, Lokanātha Bodhisattva, Uttamādhyāśaya Bodhisattva, Anuttarādhyāśaya Bodhisattva, Dhāraṇīśvararāja Bodhisattva, Mañjuśrī Bodhisattva-mahāsattva, and others—also with sixteen bodhisattvas including Bhadrapāla Bodhisattva-mahāsattva; also with the great Brahma King (Mahābrahmā), the lord of the Sahā world, and Śakra, the lord of the gods, the four Lokapālas, also with the deva Suṣīma, the deva Śāntamati, and various deva kings, Nāgarājas, Kiṃnararājas, Gandharvarājas, Yakṣarājas, Garuḍarājas, and others, each with several hundred thousand attendants, came to the assembly. At that time, the World Honored One was seated on the auspicious lion throne, surrounded by the four assemblies, towering like Mount Sumeru, his light blazing, like the sun and moon illuminating all the worlds; his demeanor was complete, his conduct pure and serene, like Śakra among the gods, his demeanor was the most excellent; also like a cakravartin king, possessing the seven treasures, free from all fear. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

师子王；善能谈说诸法空义，如大火聚破诸幽暗，如摩尼宝王远照一切。如是佛光照于三千大千一切世界，于其光中出妙梵音告诸众生：“我今所得一切诸法最上波罗蜜，说真实义，初善、中善、后善，文义殊胜，纯白圆满，梵行清净，纯一无杂。” 尔时，喜王菩萨摩诃萨在大众中安详而坐，瞻仰世尊于师子座放大光明——譬如千日照耀一切——心大欢喜，深信恭敬，即从座起，合掌向佛以颂赞曰： “佛身晃曜如金山， 利益世间甚希有， 菩萨、声闻、缘觉僧、 天、龙八部皆围绕。 譬如须弥诸天居， 出于大海而高显， 悲愍众生而现身， 放百千光常照曜。 行梵天行即梵天， 于彼梵天复为王， 行禅解脱三摩地， 光照上位诸菩萨。 亦如帝释为天主， 威德仪容诸相异， 牟尼光明照世间， 相好庄严功德异。 金轮四洲得自在， 能善调伏诸有情， 引彼众生出苦轮， 我佛慈悲亦如是。 所有火光、摩尼光、 日、月光等诸光明， 如是百千日等光， 不及佛日恒照曜。 如月夜分放光明， 普照世间悉清净； 佛面端严如满月， 映蔽一切光不现。 譬如高山燃大火， 能破夜暗显诸方； 大仙所有智慧光， 破 现代汉语译本 如狮子王一般，善于谈论诸法皆空的道理，如同巨大的火焰能破除一切黑暗，又如摩尼宝王（如意宝珠）能照耀一切。佛的光芒也像这样照耀着三千大千世界，在光芒中发出美妙的梵音，告诉众生：‘我如今所证得的一切诸法中最上的波罗蜜（到达彼岸的方法），所说的真实义理，初善、中善、后善，文辞和意义都殊胜，纯净圆满，梵行清净，纯一不杂。’ 当时，喜王菩萨摩诃萨（大菩萨）在大众中安详地坐着，瞻仰着世尊在狮子座上放出光明——如同千个太阳照耀一切——心中非常欢喜，深信恭敬，随即从座位上站起来，合掌向佛，用偈颂赞叹道： ‘佛的身躯光彩照耀如金山，利益世间非常稀有，菩萨、声闻（听闻佛法而修行的人）、缘觉（独自悟道的人）僧众，以及天、龙八部（佛教的护法神）都围绕着他。 譬如须弥山（佛教中的圣山）是诸天居住的地方，从大海中升起而高耸显赫，佛也这样悲悯众生而显现身形，放出百千光明，常常照耀。 修行梵天之行就是梵天，在梵天中又为王，修行禅定解脱三摩地（禅定），光明照耀着上位诸菩萨。 也像帝释（天帝）是天主一样，威德仪容与众不同，牟尼（释迦牟尼佛）的光明照耀世间，相好庄严，功德殊胜。 如同转轮圣王拥有四大洲的自在权力，能善于调伏一切有情众生，引导他们脱离苦难的轮回，我佛的慈悲也像这样。 所有火光、摩尼宝珠的光、日月的光等各种光明，像这样百千个太阳的光，都比不上佛日恒常的照耀。 如同月亮在夜晚放出光明，普遍照耀世间，使一切都清净；佛的面容端正庄严如满月，映照得一切光芒都无法显现。 譬如高山燃起大火，能破除夜晚的黑暗，显现各个方向；大仙（佛）所有的智慧之光，能破除众生的愚昧。’

English version Like a lion king, he is skilled in speaking about the emptiness of all dharmas (phenomena), like a great fire that can dispel all darkness, and like a Mani jewel king (wish-fulfilling jewel) that illuminates everything. The Buddha's light also shines upon the three thousand great thousand worlds in this way, and from within the light, a wonderful Brahma sound is emitted, telling all beings: 'What I have now attained, the supreme Paramita (perfection) of all dharmas, the true meaning I speak of, is good in the beginning, good in the middle, and good in the end, with words and meanings that are excellent, pure and complete, with pure Brahma conduct, pure and unmixed.' At that time, Bodhisattva Mahasattva (great Bodhisattva) Joy King was sitting peacefully among the assembly, gazing at the World Honored One emitting light from the lion throne—like a thousand suns illuminating everything—his heart filled with great joy, deep faith, and reverence. He immediately rose from his seat, joined his palms together, and praised the Buddha with verses: 'The Buddha's body shines like a golden mountain, benefiting the world in a very rare way. Bodhisattvas, Sravakas (those who hear the Buddha's teachings and practice), Pratyekabuddhas (those who attain enlightenment on their own), and the Sangha (monastic community), as well as the Devas (gods), Nagas (dragons), and the eight classes of protectors, all surround him. Just as Mount Sumeru (sacred mountain in Buddhism) is the dwelling place of the gods, rising high and prominent from the great ocean, the Buddha also appears in this way out of compassion for all beings, emitting hundreds of thousands of lights, constantly illuminating. Practicing Brahma conduct is Brahma, and within Brahma, he is also the king. Practicing meditation, liberation, and Samadhi (meditative absorption), his light illuminates the higher Bodhisattvas. Just as Indra (king of the gods) is the lord of the heavens, his majestic appearance is different from others. Muni's (Shakyamuni Buddha) light illuminates the world, his features are adorned, and his merits are extraordinary. Like a Chakravartin (universal monarch) who has the power over the four continents, he is skilled in subduing all sentient beings, leading them out of the cycle of suffering. The compassion of my Buddha is also like this. All lights, such as firelight, the light of Mani jewels, the light of the sun and moon, and so on, even the light of hundreds of thousands of suns, cannot compare to the constant illumination of the Buddha's sun. Just as the moon emits light in the night, universally illuminating the world, making everything pure; the Buddha's face is upright and dignified like a full moon, reflecting so that all other lights cannot appear. Like a great fire burning on a high mountain, it can dispel the darkness of the night, revealing all directions; the light of wisdom of the great sage (Buddha) can dispel the ignorance of all beings.' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 尽黑暗离诸有。 如大师子旷野吼， 众兽闻之悉惊怖； 佛说法空、无我义， 诸魔闻之亦如是。 摩尼宝王放光明， 诸余摩尼光不现； 佛身晃曜真金色， 映蔽一切世间光。 一切世间贤圣中， 无有最上与佛等， 具福精进方便智， 一切功德不可量。 瞻仰大师功德海， 威光普照诸群生， 一心恭敬慕尊颜， 是故我今头面礼。 我所赞佛归敬心， 世间功德无等等， 尽将回向法界中， 一切世间成佛道。”

尔时，喜王菩萨摩诃萨赞叹佛已，合掌向佛，瞻仰尊颜，目不暂舍。心观法界——其义甚深，难知难见，离言分别，绝诸戏论，微妙难解，不可思议——如是观想一切法界，唯佛、如来观智摄受现量证知，佛之境界无有等等，如是观见所有如来不可思议方便境界，皆摄一相法界性中。譬如虚空，无有住处，即众生界，亦如自性；一切诸法亦复如是，无碍解脱，究竟寂静。诸佛、世尊以善方便身变佛刹遍满一切，现众生前，诸如来身经无数俱胝劫而不可得。 时喜王菩萨摩诃萨如是观佛功德已，默然而住。 尔时，有一尊者名曰护国，于舍卫大城安居三月。过是夏已，着衣持钵，与诸苾刍及初出家者、初发心者出舍卫国，诣王舍城鹫 现代汉语译本 驱散黑暗，脱离所有存在。 如同雄伟的狮子在旷野怒吼，所有野兽听到都会惊恐； 佛陀宣说空性、无我的真谛，所有魔众听到也同样畏惧。 摩尼宝王（一种珍贵的宝珠）放出光明，其他摩尼宝的光芒都无法显现； 佛陀的身体闪耀着真正的金色光芒，遮蔽了世间一切的光辉。 在世间所有贤圣之中，没有谁能与佛陀相等， 佛陀具足福德、精进、方便和智慧，一切功德都无法衡量。 瞻仰大师的功德如大海般深广，威光普照所有众生， 我一心恭敬地仰慕您的尊颜，因此我今天向您顶礼。 我所赞叹佛陀的归敬之心，是世间功德无法比拟的， 我将所有功德回向给法界，愿一切世间都能成就佛道。 这时，喜王菩萨摩诃萨赞叹佛陀之后，合掌向佛，瞻仰佛陀的尊颜，眼睛片刻不离。他心中观察法界——其意义非常深奥，难以理解和见到，超越言语分别，断绝一切戏论，微妙难解，不可思议——如此观想一切法界，只有佛陀、如来的观智才能完全领悟和现量证知，佛陀的境界是无与伦比的。如此观见所有如来不可思议的方便境界，都包含在同一个法界自性中。譬如虚空，没有固定的住处，众生界也如同其自性；一切诸法也是如此，无碍解脱，达到究竟寂静。诸佛、世尊以善巧方便，化身遍满一切佛刹，显现在众生面前，诸如来身经过无数俱胝劫也无法穷尽。 这时，喜王菩萨摩诃萨如此观察佛陀的功德后，默默地住了下来。 这时，有一位尊者名叫护国，在舍卫大城安居了三个月。过了夏季安居之后，他穿上袈裟，拿着钵，与众比丘以及初出家者、初发心者一起离开舍卫国，前往王舍城的鹫峰山。

English version Dispelling darkness, departing from all existences. Like a great lion roaring in the wilderness, all beasts are terrified upon hearing it; The Buddha proclaims the truth of emptiness and non-self, and all demons are similarly frightened upon hearing it. When the Mani Jewel King (a precious gem) emits light, the light of other Mani jewels does not appear; The Buddha's body shines with true golden light, overshadowing all the light in the world. Among all the sages and saints in the world, there is none who can equal the Buddha, The Buddha is endowed with blessings, diligence, skillful means, and wisdom, and all his merits are immeasurable. Gazing upon the master's ocean of merits, his majestic light shines upon all living beings, I wholeheartedly and respectfully admire your noble countenance, therefore I bow my head in reverence today. My heart of reverence in praising the Buddha is unmatched by any worldly merit, I dedicate all merits to the Dharma realm, wishing that all beings in the world may attain Buddhahood. At that time, Bodhisattva Mahasattva Joyful King, having praised the Buddha, joined his palms and faced the Buddha, gazing upon his noble countenance without a moment's distraction. He contemplated the Dharma realm in his mind—its meaning is extremely profound, difficult to know and see, beyond words and distinctions, free from all conceptual elaborations, subtle and difficult to understand, inconceivable—contemplating all Dharma realms in this way, only the Buddha's, the Tathagata's, wisdom can fully comprehend and directly realize it. The Buddha's realm is unparalleled. Thus, he saw that all the inconceivable skillful means of the Tathagatas are contained within the single nature of the Dharma realm. Like space, which has no fixed abode, the realm of sentient beings is also like its own nature; all dharmas are also like this, unobstructed liberation, reaching ultimate tranquility. The Buddhas, the World Honored Ones, through skillful means, transform their bodies to fill all Buddha lands, appearing before sentient beings. The bodies of the Tathagatas cannot be exhausted even after countless kotis of kalpas. At this time, Bodhisattva Mahasattva Joyful King, having contemplated the Buddha's merits in this way, remained silent. At that time, there was a venerable one named Protector of the Nation, who had resided in the great city of Shravasti for three months. After the summer retreat, he put on his robes, took his bowl, and together with the bhikshus, as well as those newly ordained and those who had just generated the aspiration for enlightenment, left the country of Shravasti and went to Vulture Peak in the city of Rajagriha. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
