“‘设我得佛,国中菩萨随意欲见十方无量严净佛土,应时如愿,于宝树中皆悉照见,犹如明镜睹其面像;若不尔者,不取正觉。   “‘设我得佛,他方国土诸菩萨众闻我名字,至于得佛,诸根缺陋不具足者,不取正觉。   “‘设我得佛,他方国土诸菩萨众闻我名字,皆悉逮得清净解脱三昧,住是三昧一发意顷,供养无量不可思议诸佛世尊而不失定意;若不尔者,不取正觉。   “‘设我得佛,他方国土诸菩萨众闻我名字,寿终之后生尊贵家;若不尔者,不取正觉。   “‘设我得佛,他方国土诸菩萨众闻我名字,欢喜踊跃,修菩萨行,具足德本;若不尔者,不取正觉。   “‘设我得佛,他方国土诸菩萨众闻我名字,皆悉逮得普等三昧,住是三昧至于成佛,常见无量不可思议一切如来;若不尔者,不取正觉。   “‘设我得佛,国中菩萨随其志愿,所欲闻法自然得闻;若不尔者,不取正觉。   “‘设我得佛,他方国土诸菩萨众闻我名字,不即得至不退转者,不取正觉。   “‘设我得佛,他方国土诸菩萨众闻我名字,不即得至第一、第二、第三法忍,于诸佛法不能即得不退转者,不取正觉。’”   佛告阿难:“尔时,法藏比丘说此愿已,而说颂曰: “ 现代汉语译本 ‘假设我成佛时,我国土中的菩萨如果想要看到十方无量庄严清净的佛土,应当立即如愿,在宝树中都能全部照见,就像在明镜中看到自己的面容一样;如果不是这样,我就不成佛。’ ‘假设我成佛时,其他国土的菩萨众听到我的名字,直到成佛,如果还有诸根残缺不全的,我就不成佛。’ ‘假设我成佛时,其他国土的菩萨众听到我的名字,都能获得清净解脱三昧(一种禅定状态),安住于这种三昧中,在一念之间,就能供养无量不可思议的诸佛世尊,而不会失去禅定;如果不是这样,我就不成佛。’ ‘假设我成佛时,其他国土的菩萨众听到我的名字,寿命终结后能出生在尊贵的家庭;如果不是这样,我就不成佛。’ ‘假设我成佛时,其他国土的菩萨众听到我的名字,欢喜踊跃,修行菩萨行,具足功德根本;如果不是这样,我就不成佛。’ ‘假设我成佛时,其他国土的菩萨众听到我的名字,都能获得普等三昧(一种禅定状态),安住于这种三昧中直到成佛,能常见无量不可思议的一切如来(佛);如果不是这样,我就不成佛。’ ‘假设我成佛时,我国土中的菩萨,随着他们的意愿,想要听闻佛法,自然就能听到;如果不是这样,我就不成佛。’ ‘假设我成佛时,其他国土的菩萨众听到我的名字,不能立即达到不退转的境界,我就不成佛。’ ‘假设我成佛时,其他国土的菩萨众听到我的名字,不能立即达到第一、第二、第三法忍(对佛法的理解和接受),对于诸佛的教法不能立即达到不退转的境界,我就不成佛。’ 佛告诉阿难:‘当时,法藏比丘(释迦牟尼佛的前身)说完这些愿望后,就说了偈颂:’

English version 'If, when I attain Buddhahood, the Bodhisattvas in my land should wish to see the immeasurable, adorned, and pure Buddha-lands of the ten directions, may they, in that very moment, have their wish fulfilled, and may they all see them reflected in the jeweled trees, just as one sees one's own face in a clear mirror; if this is not so, may I not attain perfect enlightenment.' 'If, when I attain Buddhahood, the Bodhisattvas of other lands, upon hearing my name, should, even until they attain Buddhahood, have any of their faculties deficient or incomplete, may I not attain perfect enlightenment.' 'If, when I attain Buddhahood, the Bodhisattvas of other lands, upon hearing my name, should all attain the Samadhi of Pure Liberation, and, abiding in this Samadhi, in the space of a single thought, should be able to make offerings to immeasurable, inconceivable Buddhas, World-Honored Ones, without losing their concentration; if this is not so, may I not attain perfect enlightenment.' 'If, when I attain Buddhahood, the Bodhisattvas of other lands, upon hearing my name, should, after the end of their lives, be born into noble families; if this is not so, may I not attain perfect enlightenment.' 'If, when I attain Buddhahood, the Bodhisattvas of other lands, upon hearing my name, should rejoice and leap for joy, cultivate the Bodhisattva practices, and perfect the roots of virtue; if this is not so, may I not attain perfect enlightenment.' 'If, when I attain Buddhahood, the Bodhisattvas of other lands, upon hearing my name, should all attain the Samadhi of Universal Equality, and, abiding in this Samadhi until they attain Buddhahood, should constantly see immeasurable, inconceivable Tathagatas (Buddhas); if this is not so, may I not attain perfect enlightenment.' 'If, when I attain Buddhahood, the Bodhisattvas in my land, according to their wishes, should naturally hear the Dharma they desire to hear; if this is not so, may I not attain perfect enlightenment.' 'If, when I attain Buddhahood, the Bodhisattvas of other lands, upon hearing my name, should not immediately attain the stage of non-retrogression, may I not attain perfect enlightenment.' 'If, when I attain Buddhahood, the Bodhisattvas of other lands, upon hearing my name, should not immediately attain the first, second, and third Dharma-acceptances (understanding and acceptance of the Dharma), and should not immediately attain the stage of non-retrogression in the Buddhas' teachings, may I not attain perfect enlightenment.' The Buddha told Ananda: 'At that time, the Bhikshu Dharmakara (the past life of Shakyamuni Buddha), having spoken these vows, then spoke the following verses:' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ‘我建超世愿,  必至无上道,   斯愿不满足,  誓不成等觉。   我于无量劫,  不为大施主,   普济诸贫苦,  誓不成等觉。   我至成佛道,  名声超十方,   究竟靡不闻,  誓不成等觉。   离欲深正念,  净慧修梵行,   志求无上道,  为诸天人师。   神力演大光,  普照无际土,   消除三垢冥,  明济众厄难。   开彼智慧眼,  灭此昏盲闇,   闭塞诸恶道,  通达善趣门。   功祚成满足,  威曜朗十方,   日月戢重晖,  天光隐不现。   为众开法藏,  广施功德宝,   常于大众中,  说法师子吼。   供养一切佛,  具足众德本,   愿慧悉成满,  得为三界雄。   如佛无量智,  通达靡不遍,   愿我功德力,  等此最胜尊。   斯愿若克果,  大千应感动,   虚空诸天人,  当雨珍妙华。’”

佛语阿难:“法藏比丘说此颂已,应时普地六种震动,天雨妙华以散其上,自然音乐空中赞言:‘决定必成无上正觉。’于是法藏比丘具足修满如是大愿,诚谛不虚,超出世间深乐寂灭。   “阿难!法藏比丘于彼佛所诸天、魔、梵、龙神八部大众之中发斯弘誓,建此愿已 现代汉语译本 ‘我立下超凡的誓愿,必定要达到无上的觉悟之道,如果这个誓愿不能实现,我誓不成正等正觉(anuttara-samyak-sambodhi,无上正等正觉)。 我于无量劫的时间里,如果不能成为伟大的施主,普遍救济所有贫困痛苦的人,我誓不成正等正觉。 我若成就佛道,名声将超越十方世界,最终没有哪个地方听不到我的名声,如果不能这样,我誓不成正等正觉。 我将远离欲望,保持深刻的正念,以清净的智慧修持梵行(brahmacarya,清净的行为),立志追求无上的觉悟之道,成为诸天和人类的导师。 我将以神通之力展现巨大的光明,普遍照耀无边无际的国土,消除贪、嗔、痴三毒的黑暗,以光明救济众生的厄难。 我将开启众生的智慧之眼,灭除他们的昏昧和盲暗,关闭所有通向恶道的门,开通通往善趣的道路。 我的功德事业圆满成就,威光照耀十方世界,日月的光辉也将黯然失色,天上的光芒也将隐没不见。 我将为众生开启佛法的宝藏,广泛布施功德的珍宝,常常在大众之中,像狮子一样宣说佛法。 我将供养一切诸佛,具足各种功德的根本,愿力和智慧都圆满成就,成为三界(trailokya,欲界、色界、无色界)的雄杰。 如同佛陀的无量智慧,通达一切无所不遍,愿我的功德力量,能够等同于这位最殊胜的尊者。 如果这个誓愿能够实现,大千世界(trisahasra-mahāsāhasra-lokadhātu,三千大千世界)应该感动震动,虚空中的诸天和人类,应当降下珍贵的妙花。’ 佛陀告诉阿难:‘法藏比丘说完这首偈颂后,当时整个大地发生六种震动,天空中降下美妙的花朵散落在他的身上,自然有音乐在空中赞叹说:‘必定能够成就无上正等正觉。’于是法藏比丘具足修满了这样的大愿,真实不虚,超越世间,深深地喜爱寂灭。 ‘阿难!法藏比丘在那位佛陀面前,在诸天、魔、梵、龙神等八部大众之中,发下了这个宏大的誓愿,建立了这个愿望之后,’

English version 'I establish a transcendent vow, I will surely attain the unsurpassed path, If this vow is not fulfilled, I vow not to achieve perfect enlightenment (anuttara-samyak-sambodhi). If, throughout countless kalpas (aeons), I do not become a great benefactor, universally relieving all the poor and suffering, I vow not to achieve perfect enlightenment. If, when I attain Buddhahood, my fame does not surpass the ten directions, and ultimately there is no place that has not heard of my name, I vow not to achieve perfect enlightenment. I will be free from desires, maintain profound right mindfulness, cultivate pure conduct (brahmacarya) with pure wisdom, aspire to the unsurpassed path, and become a teacher for gods and humans. I will use my spiritual power to manifest great light, universally illuminating boundless lands, eliminating the darkness of the three poisons (greed, hatred, and delusion), and with light, relieve the suffering of all beings. I will open the wisdom eyes of all beings, extinguish their ignorance and blindness, close all the doors to evil paths, and open the paths to good destinies. When my meritorious deeds are fully accomplished, my majestic light will shine in the ten directions, the light of the sun and moon will be dimmed, and the light of the heavens will be hidden and unseen. I will open the treasury of the Dharma for all beings, widely bestow the treasures of merit, and often in the midst of the assembly, proclaim the Dharma like a lion's roar. I will make offerings to all Buddhas, possess the roots of all virtues, and may my vows and wisdom be fully accomplished, so that I may become a hero of the three realms (trailokya). Just as the Buddha's immeasurable wisdom pervades all without exception, may the power of my merit be equal to that of this most supreme one. If this vow is fulfilled, the great trichiliocosm (trisahasra-mahāsāhasra-lokadhātu) should be moved and shaken, and the gods and humans in the sky should rain down precious and wonderful flowers.' The Buddha said to Ananda: 'After the Bhikshu Dharmakara (法藏比丘) spoke this verse, at that time, the entire earth shook in six ways, and wonderful flowers rained down from the sky, scattering upon him. Natural music in the sky praised, saying: ‘He will surely achieve unsurpassed perfect enlightenment.’ Thereupon, the Bhikshu Dharmakara fully cultivated and fulfilled such great vows, which were true and not false, transcending the world and deeply delighting in tranquility. 'Ananda! The Bhikshu Dharmakara, in the presence of that Buddha, among the great assembly of gods, demons, Brahmas, dragons, and other eight kinds of beings, made this great vow, and after establishing this aspiration,' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
