以至诚心愿生其国。此人临终梦见彼佛，亦得往生，功德智慧次如中辈者也。” 佛告阿难：“无量寿佛威神无极，十方世界无量无边不可思议诸佛如来莫不称叹。于彼东方恒沙佛国，无量无数诸菩萨众，皆悉往诣无量寿佛所恭敬供养，及诸菩萨、声闻大众听受经法，宣布道化；南、西、北方、四维，上、下亦复如是。” 尔时，世尊而说颂曰： “东方诸佛国， 其数如恒沙， 彼土诸菩萨， 往觐无量觉； 南、西、北四维， 上、下亦复然。 彼土菩萨众， 往觐无量觉， 一切诸菩萨， 各赍天妙华， 宝香无价衣， 供养无量觉； 咸然奏天乐， 畅发和雅音， 歌叹最胜尊， 供养无量觉。 究达神通慧， 游入深法门， 具足功德藏， 妙智无等伦。 慧日照世间， 消除生死云， 恭敬绕三匝， 稽首无上尊。 见彼严净土， 微妙难思议， 因发无量心， 愿我国亦然。 应时无量尊， 动容发欣笑， 口出无数光， 遍照十方国。 回光围绕身， 三匝从顶入， 一切天、人众， 踊跃皆欢喜。 大士观世音， 整服稽首问， 白佛：‘何缘笑？ 唯然愿说意。’ 梵声犹雷震， 八音畅 现代汉语译本 以至诚的心愿希望往生到那个佛国。这个人临终时如果梦见阿弥陀佛（Amitabha，无量寿佛），也能往生，他的功德和智慧仅次于中等根性的人。 佛陀告诉阿难（Ananda，佛陀的十大弟子之一）说：‘无量寿佛（Amitabha）的威神之力是无限的，十方世界无量无边不可思议的诸佛如来没有不称赞他的。在东方恒河沙数那样多的佛国中，有无量无数的菩萨众，都前往无量寿佛（Amitabha）那里恭敬供养，以及和诸菩萨、声闻大众一起听受佛法，宣扬佛的教化；南方、西方、北方、四维（东南、东北、西南、西北），上方、下方也是这样。’ 这时，世尊（释迦牟尼佛）说了偈颂： ‘东方各个佛国，数量如恒河沙，那些国土的菩萨，都去朝见无量觉（Amitabha）；南、西、北四方，上下也是这样。那些国土的菩萨众，都去朝见无量觉（Amitabha），一切诸菩萨，各自拿着天上的美妙鲜花，无价的宝香和衣服，供养无量觉（Amitabha）；他们一起演奏天乐，发出和谐美妙的声音，歌颂赞叹最尊贵的佛，供养无量觉（Amitabha）。他们通达神通智慧，进入深奥的佛法之门，具足功德宝藏，其妙智无与伦比。智慧的太阳照耀世间，消除生死轮回的阴云，他们恭敬地绕佛三圈，向无上的尊者顶礼。见到那庄严清净的佛土，微妙不可思议，因此发起了无量的心愿，希望我的国土也能这样。这时无量尊（Amitabha）面容显出喜悦的笑容，口中发出无数的光芒，遍照十方世界。光芒回转环绕自身，绕了三圈从头顶进入，一切天人和大众，都欢喜踊跃。大士观世音（Avalokitesvara，菩萨名）整理好衣服，顶礼发问，对佛说：‘是什么原因让您发笑？希望您能说出其中的含义。’佛的声音如雷震动，八种音声畅快地宣说。’

English version With a sincere heart, they wish to be reborn in that Buddha-land. If this person dreams of that Buddha (Amitabha, the Buddha of Infinite Life) at the time of death, they will also be reborn there, and their merits and wisdom will be second only to those of medium capacity. The Buddha told Ananda (one of the Buddha's ten great disciples): 'The majestic power of Amitabha (the Buddha of Infinite Life) is boundless, and all the immeasurable and inconceivable Buddhas and Tathagatas in the ten directions praise him. In the countless Buddha-lands in the east, as numerous as the sands of the Ganges, countless Bodhisattvas go to Amitabha to respectfully make offerings, and together with the Bodhisattvas and Sravakas, they listen to the Dharma, and propagate the Buddha's teachings; the same is true in the south, west, north, the four intermediate directions (southeast, northeast, southwest, northwest), and above and below.' At that time, the World Honored One (Sakyamuni Buddha) spoke in verse: 'The Buddha-lands in the east, their number like the sands of the Ganges, the Bodhisattvas of those lands, all go to pay homage to the Infinite Awakened One (Amitabha); the same is true in the south, west, north, and the four intermediate directions, and above and below. The Bodhisattvas of those lands, all go to pay homage to the Infinite Awakened One (Amitabha), all the Bodhisattvas, each carrying heavenly exquisite flowers, priceless precious incense and garments, make offerings to the Infinite Awakened One (Amitabha); they all play heavenly music, emitting harmonious and beautiful sounds, singing praises to the most honored Buddha, making offerings to the Infinite Awakened One (Amitabha). They have mastered supernatural powers and wisdom, entered the profound gate of the Dharma, possess a treasury of merits, and their wondrous wisdom is unparalleled. The sun of wisdom illuminates the world, dispelling the clouds of birth and death, they respectfully circumambulate the Buddha three times, and bow to the supreme honored one. Seeing that solemn and pure Buddha-land, subtle and inconceivable, they therefore generate immeasurable aspirations, wishing that my land could also be like this. At this time, the Infinite Honored One (Amitabha) shows a joyful smile, from his mouth emanates countless rays of light, illuminating the ten directions. The light returns and encircles his body, circling three times and entering from the top of his head, all the gods, humans, and the masses, all rejoice and leap with joy. The great Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara (a Bodhisattva) adjusts his robes, bows and asks, saying to the Buddha: 'What is the reason for your smile? We wish that you would explain the meaning.' The Buddha's voice is like thunder, and the eight kinds of sounds are joyfully proclaimed.'

妙响： ‘当授菩萨记， 今说仁谛听。 十方来正士， 吾悉知彼愿， 志求严净土， 受决当作佛； 觉了一切法， 犹如梦幻响， 满足诸妙愿， 必成如是刹。 知法如电影， 究竟菩萨道， 具诸功德本， 受决当作佛； 通达诸法门， 一切空无我， 专求净佛土， 必成如是刹。’ 诸佛告菩萨： ‘令觐安养佛， 闻法乐受行， 疾得清净处。 至彼严净土， 便速得神通， 必于无量尊， 受记成等觉。’ 其佛本愿力， 闻名欲往生， 皆悉到彼国， 自致不退转。 菩萨兴志愿， 愿己国无异， 普念度一切， 名显达十方。 奉事亿如来， 飞化遍诸刹， 恭敬欢喜去， 还到安养国。 若人无善本， 不得闻此经； 清净有戒者， 乃获闻正法。 曾更见世尊， 则能信此事， 谦敬闻奉行， 踊跃大欢喜。 憍慢弊懈怠， 难以信此法； 宿世见诸佛， 乐听如是教。 声闻或菩萨， 莫能究圣心， 譬如从生盲， 欲行开导人。 如来智慧海， 深广无崖底， 二乘非所测， 唯佛独明了。 假使一切人， 具足皆得道， 净慧如本空， 亿劫思佛 现代汉语译本 妙音菩萨说： ‘当要授予菩萨成佛的预记时，现在我来说，你们要认真听。 十方前来的修行者，我完全知道他们的愿望， 他们立志追求庄严清净的佛土，接受预记后将成佛； 觉悟到一切法，都像梦幻和回响一样虚幻不实， 满足各种美好的愿望，必定成就这样的佛土。 明白一切法如电影般虚幻，最终成就菩萨之道， 具备各种功德的根本，接受预记后将成佛； 通达各种法门，明白一切皆空无我， 专心追求清净的佛土，必定成就这样的佛土。’ 诸佛告诉菩萨们：‘让你们去觐见安养佛（阿弥陀佛）， 听闻佛法，欢喜地修行，迅速到达清净的境界。 到达那庄严清净的佛土，便能迅速获得神通， 必定在无量佛尊那里，接受成佛的预记，成就正等正觉。’ 那尊佛（阿弥陀佛）的本愿力，使听到他名号想要往生的人， 都能到达那个佛国，自然而然地达到不退转的境界。 菩萨们发起宏大的志愿，愿自己的佛国也像那样没有差别， 普遍想着要度化一切众生，名声显扬于十方世界。 供奉亿万如来，飞身变化遍及各个佛土， 恭敬欢喜地前往，再回到安养佛国。 如果有人没有善根，就不能听闻这部经； 清净持戒的人，才能听闻正法。 曾经见过世尊的人，才能相信这件事， 谦虚恭敬地听闻并奉行，会踊跃欢喜。 骄傲自大、行为恶劣、懈怠的人，难以相信这个法门； 宿世曾经见过诸佛的人，才乐意听闻这样的教诲。 声闻或菩萨，都不能彻底了解佛的圣心， 就像天生的盲人，想要引导别人走路一样。 如来的智慧如大海，深广无边无底， 二乘（声闻和缘觉）无法测度，只有佛才能完全明白。 假设所有的人，都完全证得道果， 他们的清净智慧如同虚空一样，即使经过亿万劫的时间思考佛的智慧，

English version Wonderful Sound Bodhisattva said: 'When the prediction of Buddhahood is to be bestowed upon Bodhisattvas, now I will speak, and you should listen attentively. The righteous ones who come from the ten directions, I fully know their aspirations, They are determined to seek a solemn and pure Buddha-land, and after receiving the prediction, they will become Buddhas; Awakening to all dharmas, which are as illusory as dreams and echoes, Fulfilling all kinds of wonderful vows, they will surely accomplish such a Buddha-land. Understanding all dharmas as illusory as a movie, they will ultimately achieve the Bodhisattva path, Possessing the roots of all merits, after receiving the prediction, they will become Buddhas; Penetrating all dharma gates, understanding that all is empty and without self, Devotedly seeking a pure Buddha-land, they will surely accomplish such a Buddha-land.' All the Buddhas told the Bodhisattvas: 'Let you go to see the Buddha of the Land of Peace and Bliss (Amitabha Buddha), Hear the Dharma, practice with joy, and quickly reach the pure realm. Arriving at that solemn and pure Buddha-land, you will quickly attain supernatural powers, And surely receive the prediction of Buddhahood from the immeasurable Buddhas, achieving perfect enlightenment.' The power of that Buddha's (Amitabha Buddha) original vow enables those who hear his name and desire to be reborn there, To reach that Buddha-land, and naturally attain the state of non-retrogression. Bodhisattvas make great vows, wishing their own Buddha-lands to be the same without difference, Universally thinking of liberating all sentient beings, their names will be known throughout the ten directions. Serving billions of Tathagatas, transforming and flying throughout all Buddha-lands, Going with reverence and joy, and then returning to the Land of Peace and Bliss. If someone does not have good roots, they cannot hear this sutra; Only those who are pure and uphold the precepts can hear the true Dharma. Those who have seen the World Honored One before can believe in this matter, Humbly and respectfully hearing and practicing, they will be filled with joy. Those who are arrogant, wicked, and lazy, find it difficult to believe in this Dharma; Those who have seen the Buddhas in past lives are happy to hear such teachings. Neither Sravakas nor Bodhisattvas can fully understand the holy mind of the Buddha, Just like a person born blind trying to guide others. The wisdom of the Tathagata is like an ocean, deep, vast, and without bottom, The Two Vehicles (Sravakas and Pratyekabuddhas) cannot fathom it, only the Buddha fully understands. Suppose all people were to fully attain the path, Their pure wisdom would be like the void, and even after thinking about the Buddha's wisdom for billions of kalpas, -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 智， 穷力极讲说， 尽寿犹不知。 佛慧无边际， 如是致清净， 寿命甚难得， 佛世亦难值。 人有信慧难， 若闻精进求， 闻法能不忘， 见敬得大庆， 则我善亲友， 是故当发意。 设满世界火， 必过要闻法， 会当成佛道， 广济生死流。”

佛告阿难：“彼国菩萨皆当究竟一生补处——除其本愿为众生故——以弘誓功德而自庄严，普欲度脱一切众生。阿难！彼佛国中诸声闻众身光一寻，菩萨光明照百由旬。有二菩萨最尊第一，威神光明普照三千大千世界。” 阿难白佛：“彼二菩萨其号云何？” 佛言：“一名观世音，二名大势至。是二菩萨于此国土修菩萨行，命终转化生彼佛国。阿难！其有众生生彼国者，皆悉具足三十二相，智慧成满，深入诸法，究畅要妙，神通无碍，诸根明利。其钝根者成就二忍，其利根者得阿僧祇无生法忍。又彼菩萨乃至成佛不更恶趣，神通自在常识宿命，除生他方五浊恶世，示现同彼如我国也。” 佛语阿难：“彼国菩萨承佛威神，一食之顷往诣十方无量世界，恭敬供养诸佛世尊，随心所念，华香、伎乐、缯盖、幢幡，无数无量供养之具自然化生，应念即至，珍妙殊特非世所有。转以奉散诸佛、菩萨、声闻 现代汉语译本 智慧啊， 即使竭尽全力去讲解， 用尽一生也无法完全了解。 佛的智慧是无边无际的， 如此才能达到清净的境界。 寿命是非常难得的， 能遇到佛出世也同样难得。 人有信心的智慧更是难得， 如果听闻佛法能精进求取， 听闻佛法能不忘记， 见到佛法能恭敬，就能得到大庆幸， 这样的人就是我的善亲友， 因此应当发起求法之心。 即使整个世界都充满火焰， 也一定要穿过火焰去听闻佛法， 最终会成就佛道， 广度脱生死轮回的苦海。 佛告诉阿难（Ananda）：‘那个佛国（Buddha-land）的菩萨（Bodhisattva）都将最终达到一生补处（Ekajati-pratibaddha，指下一生将成佛的菩萨）的果位——除了那些为了众生而发愿的菩萨——他们以弘大的誓愿功德来庄严自己，普遍想要度脱一切众生。阿难！那个佛国中的所有声闻（Sravaka，指听闻佛法而修行的人）众，他们的身光有一寻（古代长度单位），菩萨的光明能照耀百由旬（Yojana，古代印度长度单位）。有两位菩萨最为尊贵第一，他们的威神光明能普遍照耀三千大千世界（Trisahasra-Mahasahasra-lokadhatu，佛教宇宙观中的一个宇宙单位）。’ 阿难问佛：‘那两位菩萨的名号是什么？’ 佛说：‘一位名叫观世音（Avalokitesvara），一位名叫大势至（Mahasthamaprapta）。这两位菩萨在这个国土（指娑婆世界）修行菩萨行，命终后转生到那个佛国。阿难！凡是往生到那个佛国的众生，都完全具备三十二相（Mahapurusa-laksana，佛陀的32种殊胜相貌），智慧圆满，深入诸法，通达精要奥妙，神通无碍，诸根明利。那些根器迟钝的人能成就二忍（Kshanti，指对法理的忍可），那些根器锐利的人能得到阿僧祇（Asamkhya，佛教数字单位，表示极大的数量）无生法忍（Anutpattika-dharma-kshanti，指对诸法不生不灭的真理的领悟）。而且，那些菩萨乃至成佛都不会再堕入恶道，神通自在，常能知晓宿命，除了为了度化他方五浊恶世（Panca-kasaya，指充满五种污浊的恶世）的众生，示现如同我们这个世界一样。’ 佛告诉阿难：‘那个佛国的菩萨承蒙佛的威神之力，在一顿饭的时间里就能前往十方无量世界，恭敬供养诸佛世尊，随心所想，花香、伎乐、缯盖、幢幡，无数无量的供养之物自然化生，应念即至，珍贵奇妙，不是世间所有。他们转而将这些供品奉献给诸佛、菩萨、声闻。’
