说此语时,此诸大众皆作金色,妙慧菩萨转女成男,如三十岁知法比丘。 是时,地居天众展转赞言:“大哉,大哉。妙慧菩萨摩诃萨能于来世得菩提时严持佛刹功德如是。” 尔时,佛告文殊师利:“此妙慧菩萨于当来世成等正觉,号殊胜功德宝藏如来,出现于世。”佛说此经时,三十俱胝众生于阿耨多罗三藐三菩提住不退转,八十俱胝众生远尘离垢得法眼净,八千众生皆获智证。 五千比丘行菩萨乘心欲退转,因见妙慧菩萨意乐善根、威德殊胜故,各各脱身所著上服以施如来。 如是施已,发弘誓言:“我等以此善根决定愿成阿耨多罗三藐三菩提。”彼诸善男子等以此善根回向无上菩提故,超九十劫生死之苦,不退转于阿耨多罗三藐三菩提。 尔时,世尊即记之曰:“汝等于当来世过千劫后,于无垢光明劫中,阳焰世界难忍佛刹,于一劫中相次成佛,皆同一字,号辩才庄严如来,出现于世。 “文殊师利!如是法门有大威德,能令菩萨摩诃萨及声闻乘者获大利益。文殊师利!或有善男子、善女人为求菩提,无方便善巧行六波罗蜜足满千劫,若复有人经于半月时一书写、读诵此经,所获福聚比前功德百分、千分、百千俱胝乃至算数譬喻所不能及。 现代汉语译本 ‘十岁知法比丘。’ 说这话时,所有在场的大众都变成了金色,妙慧菩萨(Bodhisattva Mahasattva,意为伟大的菩萨)从女身转为男身,如同三十岁通晓佛法的比丘。 这时,地居天众互相赞叹道:‘太伟大了,太伟大了!妙慧菩萨摩诃萨在未来得菩提(bodhi,意为觉悟)时,庄严佛刹(Buddha-ksetra,意为佛的国土)的功德竟然如此。’ 当时,佛告诉文殊师利(Manjusri,意为文殊菩萨):‘这位妙慧菩萨在未来世成等正觉(samyak-sambodhi,意为完全的觉悟)时,名号为殊胜功德宝藏如来(Tathagata,意为如来),将出现在世间。’佛说这部经时,有三十俱胝(koti,意为千万)众生在阿耨多罗三藐三菩提(anuttara-samyak-sambodhi,意为无上正等正觉)中住于不退转的境界,八十俱胝众生远离尘垢,得到法眼净(dharma-caksu-visuddhi,意为清净的法眼),八千众生都获得了智慧的证悟。 有五千比丘修行菩萨乘(Bodhisattva-yana,意为菩萨的修行道路),心生退转之意,因为见到妙慧菩萨的意乐善根和威德殊胜,各自脱下身上所穿的上衣,布施给如来。 他们布施之后,发下宏大的誓愿:‘我们以此善根,必定要成就阿耨多罗三藐三菩提。’这些善男子等以此善根回向无上菩提的缘故,超越了九十劫(kalpa,意为极长的时间单位)的生死之苦,在阿耨多罗三藐三菩提中不退转。 当时,世尊(Bhagavan,意为世尊)就为他们授记说:‘你们在未来世过千劫之后,在无垢光明劫中的阳焰世界难忍佛刹,于一劫中依次成佛,都同一个名号,号为辩才庄严如来,将出现在世间。’ ‘文殊师利!这样的法门有大威德,能够使菩萨摩诃萨和声闻乘(Sravaka-yana,意为声闻的修行道路)的修行者获得大利益。文殊师利!如果有善男子、善女人为了求得菩提,没有方便善巧地修行六波罗蜜(paramita,意为到达彼岸的修行方法)圆满千劫,如果有人在半个月的时间里书写、读诵这部经,所获得的福德聚集比之前的功德,百分、千分、百千俱胝,乃至用算数譬喻都无法比拟。’

English version 'A ten-year-old Bhiksu (monk) who knows the Dharma (Buddhist teachings).' When these words were spoken, all the assembly present turned golden in color, and Bodhisattva Mahasattva (a great Bodhisattva) Wonderful Wisdom transformed from a female body into a male body, like a thirty-year-old Bhiksu who knows the Dharma. At that time, the earth-dwelling Devas (gods) praised each other, saying: 'Great, great! Bodhisattva Mahasattva Wonderful Wisdom, when attaining Bodhi (enlightenment) in the future, will have such merits in adorning the Buddha-ksetra (Buddha-field).' Then, the Buddha said to Manjusri (Bodhisattva of Wisdom): 'This Bodhisattva Wonderful Wisdom, in the future, when attaining Samyak-sambodhi (perfect enlightenment), will be named Tathagata (Thus Come One) Supreme Merit Treasure, and will appear in the world.' When the Buddha spoke this Sutra (Buddhist scripture), thirty kotis (ten million) of beings dwelt in non-retrogression in Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi (supreme perfect enlightenment), eighty kotis of beings were freed from defilements and obtained the Dharma-caksu-visuddhi (pure Dharma eye), and eight thousand beings all attained the realization of wisdom. Five thousand Bhiksus, practicing the Bodhisattva-yana (Bodhisattva path), had thoughts of regression. Because they saw the aspiration, good roots, and superior power of Bodhisattva Wonderful Wisdom, they each took off their upper garments and offered them to the Tathagata. Having made this offering, they made a great vow: 'With these good roots, we will surely attain Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi.' Because these good men directed these good roots towards supreme Bodhi, they transcended the suffering of birth and death for ninety kalpas (eons) and did not regress from Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi. At that time, the Bhagavan (World Honored One) then prophesied to them, saying: 'In the future, after a thousand kalpas, in the Unstained Light Kalpa, in the Saha World of the Unendurable Buddha-ksetra, you will successively become Buddhas in one kalpa, all with the same name, called Tathagata Eloquence Adornment, and will appear in the world.' 'Manjusri! Such a Dharma gate has great power and virtue, and can enable Bodhisattva Mahasattvas and those of the Sravaka-yana (Hearer path) to obtain great benefits. Manjusri! If there are good men or good women who, seeking Bodhi, practice the six paramitas (perfections) without skillful means for a full thousand kalpas, if someone were to write and recite this Sutra for half a month, the accumulation of merit obtained would be incomparable to the previous merits, by a hundredfold, a thousandfold, a hundred thousand kotis, and even by numerical analogies.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“是故,文殊师利!如是微妙法门即诸菩萨契经之本,我今付嘱于汝,汝当来世受持、读诵、为人解说。譬如转轮圣王出现于世,所有七宝皆悉在前;王灭之后,宝皆隐没。如是微妙法门流行于世,即诸如来七菩提分等法明不灭;若不流行,正法当灭。 “是故,文殊师利!若善男子、善女人等为求菩提,应当发起精进,书写此经、受持读诵、为人演说。此是我教,勿于后世生悔恨心。” 佛说此经已,妙慧菩萨、文殊师利菩萨,及诸大众、天、人、阿修罗、乾闼婆等,闻佛所说,皆大欢喜,信受奉行。 须摩提经 现代汉语译本: “因此,文殊师利(Manjusri,菩萨名)!如此微妙的法门是所有菩萨所契合的经典之根本,我现在嘱托给你,你应当在未来世受持、读诵、为他人解说。譬如转轮圣王(Chakravartin,拥有统治世界的理想君主)出现于世,所有的七宝(七种珍宝,象征统治者的权力)都会在他面前;国王去世之后,宝物都会隐没。如此微妙的法门在世间流行,就如同诸如来(Tathagata,佛的称号)的七菩提分(Saptabodhyanga,七种觉悟的要素)等法光明不灭;如果不能流行,正法(Saddharma,佛陀的教法)就会灭亡。 “因此,文殊师利!如果善男子、善女人等为了追求菩提(Bodhi,觉悟) ,应当发起精进,书写此经、受持读诵、为他人演说。这是我的教诲,不要在后世产生悔恨之心。” 佛陀说完此经后,妙慧菩萨(Mahamati,菩萨名)、文殊师利菩萨,以及所有大众、天(Deva,天神)、人、阿修罗(Asura,非天神)、乾闼婆(Gandharva,天上的乐神)等,听闻佛陀所说,都非常欢喜,信受奉行。 《须摩提经》(Sumati Sutra)

English version: “Therefore, Manjusri! This subtle Dharma is the root of all Sutras that Bodhisattvas adhere to. I now entrust it to you. You should uphold, recite, and explain it to others in the future. For example, when a Chakravartin appears in the world, all seven treasures are before him; after the king passes away, the treasures all disappear. If this subtle Dharma circulates in the world, it is like the light of the seven factors of enlightenment (Saptabodhyanga) of all Tathagatas not being extinguished; if it does not circulate, the true Dharma will perish. “Therefore, Manjusri! If good men and good women seek Bodhi, they should generate diligence, write this Sutra, uphold and recite it, and explain it to others. This is my teaching; do not have regrets in future lives.” After the Buddha finished speaking this Sutra, Bodhisattva Mahamati, Bodhisattva Manjusri, and all the assembly, Devas, humans, Asuras, Gandharvas, etc., hearing what the Buddha had said, were all greatly delighted, believed, and practiced accordingly.
