若入舍婆提城,随何众生眼见我者,一切不退阿耨多罗三藐三菩提。” 尔时彼大声闻彼诸菩萨,依如是法,如是行说,相与进向舍婆提城。 时憍萨罗,波斯匿王有女,名得无垢,已曾亲近无量诸佛,久种善根,供养多佛,解甚深法,得五神通——天眼远见,清净过人——彼诸菩萨彼大声闻,在道语说皆悉遥闻。 彼女端正姿媚少双,甚可爱乐。妙色具足,父母意念,一切婇女、一切人民皆悉乐见,年始十二。 二月八日,弗沙星日意乐出游,以求吉相。父母即听,从婆罗门有五百人。赍持苏酪、华草、符𤬪相随而出,为欲解奏彼婆罗门。见诸菩萨、大声闻已,即住念曰:“我今见此吉相好人。” 时彼侍从婆罗门中,有一长老大婆罗门,厥名梵天,谓得无垢,作如是言:“女今当知,我此所见是不吉相。前有如是诸比丘住,可回入城。见如是相,所作不吉。以此因缘,或解或奏,不吉不成。” 即于尔时,得无垢女偈对梵天婆罗门曰: “见此无障胜, 能却多人恶, 此见净四谛, 正念信解脱。 二足上福田, 施彼愿生天, 得甘露果报, 施者不得恶。 第一持戒人, 离浊无恶念, 行世间治病, 疗救苦众生。 佛世间最胜, 现代汉语译本:‘如果进入舍婆提城,任何众生只要用眼睛看到我,一切都不会退转于阿耨多罗三藐三菩提(无上正等正觉)。’ 当时,那些大声闻和菩萨们,依据这样的法,这样宣说,一同向舍婆提城前进。 那时,憍萨罗国的波斯匿王有一个女儿,名叫得无垢,她曾经亲近过无数的佛,长期种植善根,供养过许多佛,理解甚深的佛法,获得了五神通——天眼能远见,清净超凡——那些菩萨和大声闻在路上说的话,她都能遥远地听到。 她容貌端庄美丽,世间少有,非常可爱。容貌美好,父母喜欢她,所有的宫女和人民都喜欢见到她,她才十二岁。 二月八日,弗沙星日,她想出去游玩,以求吉祥的征兆。父母就同意了,她带着五百个婆罗门,拿着酥酪、鲜花、符咒等东西跟随而出,想要向那些婆罗门请教。当她看到那些菩萨和大声闻时,就停下来想:‘我今天看到这些吉祥的好人。’ 当时,她的侍从婆罗门中,有一位年长的婆罗门,名叫梵天,他对得无垢说:‘女儿你应当知道,我所看到的这些是不吉祥的征兆。前面有这些比丘住着,应该返回城里。看到这样的景象,所做的事情不会吉祥。因为这个缘故,或许解释或许奏报,都不会吉祥成功。’ 就在那时,得无垢女用偈颂回答梵天婆罗门说: ‘见到这些无障碍的殊胜者,能消除许多人的恶业,见到他们能清净四谛(苦、集、灭、道),正念和信能解脱。 他们是二足(人)中的上等福田,施舍给他们,愿望能生天,得到甘露的果报,施舍的人不会有恶报。 他们是第一持戒的人,远离污浊没有恶念,在世间行走是为了治疗疾病,救助受苦的众生。 佛是世间最殊胜的,'

English version: 'If [we] enter the city of Shravasti, any sentient being who sees me with their eyes, all will not regress from Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi (Unsurpassed Perfect Enlightenment).' At that time, those great Shravakas (Hearers) and Bodhisattvas, according to such Dharma, spoke in this way, and together advanced towards the city of Shravasti. At that time, King Prasenajit of Kosala had a daughter named Deva-Nirmala (Immaculate Goddess), who had been close to countless Buddhas, had long cultivated roots of goodness, had made offerings to many Buddhas, understood profound Dharma, and had attained the five supernormal powers—the divine eye could see far away, and was pure and extraordinary—she could hear from afar what those Bodhisattvas and great Shravakas were saying on the road. She was of elegant and beautiful appearance, rare in the world, and very lovable. Her appearance was beautiful, her parents loved her, all the palace women and people loved to see her, and she was only twelve years old. On the eighth day of the second month, on the day of the Phalguni constellation, she desired to go out for a stroll, seeking auspicious signs. Her parents agreed, and she went out with five hundred Brahmins, carrying ghee, flowers, talismans, and other things, intending to consult those Brahmins. When she saw those Bodhisattvas and great Shravakas, she stopped and thought: 'Today I have seen these auspicious and good people.' At that time, among her attendant Brahmins, there was an elder Brahmin named Brahma, who said to Deva-Nirmala: 'Daughter, you should know that what I see is an inauspicious sign. There are these Bhikkhus (monks) dwelling ahead, you should return to the city. Seeing such a sight, what you do will not be auspicious. Because of this reason, whether you interpret or report, it will not be auspicious or successful.' At that very moment, Deva-Nirmala replied to the Brahmin Brahma with a verse: 'Seeing these unobstructed victors, they can eliminate the evil of many people, seeing them can purify the Four Noble Truths (suffering, origin, cessation, path), right mindfulness and faith can liberate. They are the supreme field of merit among the two-legged (humans), giving to them, one wishes to be born in heaven, and receives the reward of nectar, those who give will not receive evil retribution. They are the foremost precept-holders, far from defilement and without evil thoughts, they walk in the world to cure diseases, and save suffering sentient beings. The Buddha is the most supreme in the world,' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 第一之法主, 此是彼佛子, 无有尘垢染。 此诸大菩萨, 远离何等法, 恶法皆远离, 常谨慎不越。 持戒世间最, 好人见者胜, 作尘许供养, 彼得如法财。 此满足胜相, 此善心净田, 婆罗门得信, 获多福生人。”

尔时梵天婆罗门,为得无垢女,而说偈言: “莫随痴心言, 斋时观比丘, 如着衣剃发, 求吉不用见。 尊朝不喜汝, 我当必被笑, 不得持斋戒, 愿勿观比丘。 若不观比丘, 则是大善哉。” 尔时得无垢女,为梵天婆罗门,而说偈言: “非于今朝日, 能救我父母, 非诸亲非财, 亦复非严饰。 此之功德人, 入于有为行, 此人能救我, 亦救我父母。 我于今朝日, 舍身复舍命, 甚爱乐佛法, 不欲世富乐。 更无异归依, 能救护众生, 唯有佛法僧, 三宝能救护。” 尔时梵天婆罗门,语得无垢女言:“汝大不是。汝于昔来,未曾见佛、未曾闻法、未供养僧。汝何处闻?云何信佛?” 得无垢女作如是言:“我生七日,时婆罗门,安置我身在栴檀殿金宝床上,五百天子,在于我上空中行过,我时得见。时彼五百诸天子中,有一 现代汉语译本 第一位法主, 这是佛陀的弟子,没有尘垢污染。 这些大菩萨们,远离了哪些法? 他们远离一切恶法,常常谨慎不超越戒律。 持戒在世间最为殊胜,好人见到他们会感到欢喜, 即使只是做微尘般的供养,他们也能得到如法的财富。 他们具足殊胜的相貌,是清净的善心福田, 婆罗门如果对他们生起信心,会获得许多福报,转生为人。 那时,梵天婆罗门为了得到无垢女,说了偈语: ‘不要听从愚痴的想法,斋戒时观察比丘(bhikkhu,佛教出家男众), 就像他们穿着袈裟,剃了头发,求吉祥不应该去看他们。 如果尊者早上不高兴,我一定会被人嘲笑, 不能持守斋戒,希望不要去看比丘。 如果不看比丘,那就是最大的善事。’ 那时,得无垢女为了梵天婆罗门,说了偈语: ‘不是在今天,能救我的父母, 不是亲人,不是财富,也不是华丽的装饰。 这些有功德的人,进入有为的修行, 这些人能救我,也能救我的父母。 我今天,舍弃身体也舍弃生命, 非常喜爱佛法,不想要世间的富乐。 没有其他的皈依处,能救护众生, 只有佛、法、僧,三宝能救护。’ 那时,梵天婆罗门对得无垢女说:‘你太不对了。你从前,没有见过佛陀,没有听闻佛法,没有供养僧众。你从哪里听说的?怎么会相信佛陀?’ 得无垢女这样说:‘我出生七天时,婆罗门把我安置在栴檀殿的金宝床上,五百天子,在我上空经过,我当时看到了。当时那五百天子中,有一位

English version The first lord of the Dharma, This is a disciple of the Buddha, without any defilement. These great Bodhisattvas, what dharmas do they stay away from? They stay away from all evil dharmas, always being cautious and not transgressing the precepts. Keeping precepts is the most excellent in the world, good people are happy to see them, Even if they make offerings as small as dust particles, they can obtain wealth in accordance with the Dharma. They possess excellent marks, they are pure fields of good merit, If a Brahmin develops faith in them, they will obtain much merit and be reborn as humans. At that time, the Brahmin Brahma, in order to obtain the Immaculate Maiden, spoke in verse: 'Do not follow foolish thoughts, when fasting, observe the bhikkhus (Buddhist monks), Like they are wearing robes and have shaved their heads, seeking auspiciousness, it is not good to see them. If the venerable one is not happy in the morning, I will surely be laughed at, Unable to keep the fast, I wish not to see the bhikkhus. If one does not see the bhikkhus, that is the greatest good.' At that time, the Immaculate Maiden, for the Brahmin Brahma, spoke in verse: 'It is not today, that can save my parents, Not relatives, not wealth, nor splendid decorations. These people of merit, enter into conditioned practice, These people can save me, and also save my parents. Today, I give up my body and also give up my life, I deeply love the Buddha's Dharma, I do not desire worldly pleasures. There is no other refuge, that can protect sentient beings, Only the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha, the Three Jewels can protect.' At that time, the Brahmin Brahma said to the Immaculate Maiden: 'You are very wrong. In the past, you have not seen the Buddha, have not heard the Dharma, and have not made offerings to the Sangha. Where did you hear about this? How can you believe in the Buddha?' The Immaculate Maiden said: 'When I was seven days old, the Brahmin placed me on a sandalwood bed with gold and jewels, five hundred devas (gods) passed over me in the sky, and I saw them at that time. Among those five hundred devas, there was one' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version O Son of Heaven, I once saw the Tathagata (the Buddha), who was praised in various ways. People extolled the Buddha's virtues, and praised the Dharma (Buddha's teachings) and the Sangha (monastic community). At that time, after I heard this, five hundred sons of heaven together asked me, saying: 'You have seen the Buddha, what is the Buddha's appearance like? How did you know?' At that time, that son of heaven, knowing that my heart was faithful, in order to generate faith in these five hundred sons of heaven, spoke the following verses: 'His hair is free from defilement and desire, pure, soft, and curls to the right, His face is as beautiful as a hundred-petaled lotus, and as bright as the full moon in the night sky, The color of the urna (a tuft of white hair between the eyebrows) is like snow-white sphatika (crystal), which is very pleasing, He is the most excellent among all his retinue, and the words of the Buddha are extremely subtle. He has the lion's cheeks of a ruler, and his eyes are extremely special and wonderful, His teeth are evenly arranged, forty in number, and he is the most excellent in the hearts of all beings. His tongue is broad and long, his face is kind, pure, and perfect, His words benefit all beings, and he is free from harsh speech and double-tonguedness. There are no meaningless words, the Buddha does not speak words of slander or praise, He benefits all beings, and countless beings therefore generate faith. His neck is as beautiful as a conch shell, his arms and fingers are long, Like the trunk of an elephant king, he enters into pure fasting. His private parts are hidden like those of an elephant king, and they are like the light of the sun, The hair on his body all grows upwards, and the soles of his feet are flat like the footprints of the Mrgaraja (deer king). He is free from defilement and false speech, he is the king of all Munis (sages), He has already destroyed evil views, and all evil views have been extinguished. If beings have billions of questions, he can answer them correctly and make them happy, He is far from the two extremes, and he proclaims the Middle Way. Whoever hears his teachings will obtain the first bliss of Nirvana, His words are upright and not crooked, and all beings rejoice and love him. The Dharma covers all like a cloud, and it rains the Dharma equally, The Tathagata has already crossed over himself, and he also helps other beings to cross over. He is the first among those who are refuge and protection, he observes the world and teaches accordingly, He has countless merits, which I cannot fully describe.' That son of heaven -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 闻已, 心开净信佛。”
