：“诸佛如来出现于世，安度众生道教洋洋，终不妄笑。今者何因兴发威颜而欣笑耶？善哉，世尊！如来降德，愍念一切无量诸天及世人民，皆使得安，畜生禽兽蜎飞蠕动，莫不蒙度，愿佛开解敷演笑意。” 尔时世尊告阿难曰：“汝见长者威施之等五百人不？” “唯然已见。” 世尊告曰：“是诸长者，在过去诸佛植众德本，从发无上正真道意。如是，阿难！长者威施五百人等，却后当更七十六劫不堕三苦，然后成佛当同一劫，劫名勇猛皆同一字，其号名曰华吉藏王如来、无所著平等正觉、道法御、天人师，为佛世尊，各各所度极至无量。” 是时阿难重白佛言：“唯然世尊！甚深妙哉，未曾有也。如来散说是之弘奥无极要法，是经名何？云何奉持？” 佛言：“阿难！是经名曰‘菩萨修行’，亦名‘大士威施所问观身行经’。又斯，阿难！是观要法，过去当来今现在诸佛，致道弘化无不由之。吾今成佛，有身相好，化于生死，亦因此法，当善书持、讽诵、读说、开示一切。” 佛说经已，贤者阿难，大士威施五百人等，诸天龙神及世人民，闻经欢喜，皆起叉手，为佛作礼。 佛说菩萨修行经 现代汉语译本：‘诸佛如来（Buddha Tathagata）出现于世，安度众生，教化之道广阔无边，终不轻易发笑。如今是什么原因让您兴起威严的容颜而欢笑呢？善哉，世尊！如来降临世间，以慈悲之心怜悯一切无量的诸天及世间人民，都使他们得到安乐，就连畜生、禽鸟、蜎飞蠕动之类，没有不蒙受救度的，愿佛陀开示解释您欢笑的含义。’ 当时，世尊告诉阿难（Ananda）说：‘你看见长者威施（Vaisali）等五百人了吗？’ 阿难回答说：‘是的，我已经看见了。’ 世尊告诉阿难说：‘这些长者，在过去诸佛那里种下了许多功德的根本，从发无上正真道的心意开始。像这样，阿难！长者威施等五百人，在之后七十六劫中不会堕入三苦（三恶道），然后成佛，会在同一个劫中，劫的名字叫勇猛，都用同一个字，他们的名号都叫华吉藏王如来（Huajizangwang Tathagata）、无所著平等正觉（Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi）、道法御（Dharmaraja）、天人师（Sasta deva-manusyanam），成为佛世尊，他们各自所度化的众生数量极其无量。’ 这时，阿难再次对佛说：‘是的，世尊！真是深奥微妙啊，前所未有。如来您散说如此弘大深奥、无边无际的要法，这部经叫什么名字？我们应该如何奉持？’ 佛说：‘阿难！这部经的名字叫‘菩萨修行’，也叫‘大士威施所问观身行经’。还有，阿难！这是观想的重要方法，过去、未来、现在诸佛，成就道业、弘扬教化，没有不是通过这个方法的。我今天成佛，拥有身相好，教化生死轮回，也是因为这个方法，应当好好书写、受持、讽诵、读诵、为一切众生开示。’ 佛说完这部经后，贤者阿难，大士威施等五百人，诸天、龙神以及世间人民，听闻此经后都非常欢喜，都起身合掌，向佛作礼。 佛说菩萨修行经

English version: ‘When Buddhas Tathagatas appear in the world, they peacefully guide sentient beings, their teachings are vast and boundless, and they never laugh frivolously. What is the reason that today you display a majestic countenance and smile with joy? Excellent, World Honored One! The Tathagata descends into the world, with compassion for all the immeasurable heavens and people of the world, bringing them peace and happiness. Even the animals, birds, and all creatures that crawl and fly, none are left without being saved. May the Buddha explain the meaning of your smile.’ At that time, the World Honored One said to Ananda: ‘Have you seen the elder Vaisali and the five hundred others?’ Ananda replied: ‘Yes, I have seen them.’ The World Honored One said to Ananda: ‘These elders, in the past, planted the roots of many virtues with the Buddhas, starting from the intention to attain the unsurpassed, true, and right path. Thus, Ananda! The elder Vaisali and the five hundred others will not fall into the three sufferings (three evil realms) for the next seventy-six kalpas, and then they will become Buddhas in the same kalpa. The name of the kalpa will be Courageous, and they will all have the same character. Their names will all be Huajizangwang Tathagata, Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi, Dharmaraja, Sasta deva-manusyanam, becoming World Honored Buddhas. The number of beings they each save will be immeasurable.’ At this time, Ananda again said to the Buddha: ‘Yes, World Honored One! How profound and wonderful, it is unprecedented. The Tathagata has expounded such a vast, profound, and boundless essential Dharma. What is the name of this sutra? How should we uphold it?’ The Buddha said: ‘Ananda! This sutra is called ‘Bodhisattva Practice,’ and also ‘The Sutra of the Great Being Vaisali’s Questions on Observing the Body.’ Furthermore, Ananda! This is an important method of contemplation. The Buddhas of the past, future, and present, who have achieved the path and propagated the teachings, have all done so through this method. Today, I have become a Buddha, possessing excellent physical characteristics, and teaching about the cycle of birth and death, also because of this method. You should diligently write it down, uphold it, recite it, read it, and explain it to all beings.’ After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the venerable Ananda, the great being Vaisali and the five hundred others, the gods, dragons, and the people of the world, all rejoiced upon hearing the sutra. They all rose, joined their palms, and paid homage to the Buddha. The Sutra of Bodhisattva Practice --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
