，无量清净佛则化令其人自见无量清净佛及国土，往生无量清净佛国者可得智慧勇猛。” 佛言：“其人奉行施与如是者，若其然后中复悔，心中狐疑，不信分檀布施作诸善后世得其福、不信有无量清净佛国、不信往生其国中，虽尔其人续念不绝，暂信、暂不信，意志犹豫，无所专据，续结其善愿，名本续得往生。其人寿命病欲终时，无量清净佛则自化作形像，令其人目自见之，口不能复言，便心中欢喜踊跃，意念言：‘我悔不知益斋作善，今当生无量清净佛国。’其人则心中悔过，悔过者过差少，无所须及。其人寿命终尽则生无量清净佛国，不能得前至无量清净佛所，便道见无量清净佛国界边自然七宝城，心中便大欢喜。道止其城中，则于七宝水池莲华中化生，则受身自然长大，在城中于是间五百岁。其城广纵各二千里，城中亦有七宝舍宅，舍宅中自然内外皆有七宝浴池，浴池中亦有自然华绕，浴池上亦有七宝树重行，皆复作五音声。其饮食时，前亦有自然食，具百味食，在所欲得。 “其人于城中快乐，其城中比如第二忉利天上自然之物，其人于城中不能得出，复不能得见无量清净佛，但见其光明，心中自悔责、踊跃喜耳。亦复不能得闻经、亦复不能得见诸比丘僧，亦复不能得见知无量清净佛国中诸 现代汉语译本：无量清净佛会化现，让那人自己看见无量清净佛和佛国，往生到无量清净佛国的人可以获得智慧和勇猛。 佛说：‘那人如果奉行布施，像这样做了之后又后悔，心中疑惑，不相信分发财物布施做善事后世能得到福报，不相信有无量清净佛国，不相信能往生到那个佛国，即使这样，那人仍然念诵佛号不间断，时而相信，时而不相信，意志犹豫，没有专一的依靠，继续结下善愿，这叫做本来就能够往生。那人寿命将尽，病重快要去世时，无量清净佛会自己化现出形象，让那人亲眼看见，口不能再说出话，心中便欢喜踊跃，心里想：‘我后悔不知道斋戒行善，现在应当往生到无量清净佛国。’那人便心中悔过，悔过的人过错就少了一些，没有什么需要补救的。那人寿命终结就往生到无量清净佛国，不能直接到达无量清净佛所在的地方，便在路上看见无量清净佛国边界自然形成的七宝城，心中便非常欢喜。在城中停下来，就在七宝水池的莲花中化生，身体自然长大，在城中待五百岁。那城东西南北各二千里，城中也有七宝房屋，房屋内外都有七宝浴池，浴池中也有自然的花环绕，浴池上面也有七宝树成排，都发出五种音声。吃饭的时候，前面也有自然出现的食物，具备各种美味，想要什么就有什么。 那人在城中快乐，那城中的景象就像第二忉利天上的自然之物，那人在城中不能出来，也不能见到无量清净佛，只能看见他的光明，心中自己悔恨、欢喜踊跃罢了。也不能听到佛经，也不能见到各位比丘僧，也不能见到知道无量清净佛国中的各种情况。

English version: The immeasurable pure Buddha will transform, causing that person to see the immeasurable pure Buddha and the Buddha-land themselves. Those who are reborn in the immeasurable pure Buddha-land can attain wisdom and courage. The Buddha said, 'If that person practices giving, and after doing so, regrets it, harbors doubts in their heart, does not believe that distributing wealth and giving alms will bring blessings in the next life, does not believe in the existence of the immeasurable pure Buddha-land, and does not believe in being reborn in that Buddha-land, even so, if that person continues to recite the Buddha's name without interruption, sometimes believing, sometimes not believing, with a wavering will and no firm reliance, but continues to make good vows, this is called being originally able to be reborn. When that person's life is about to end, and they are seriously ill and about to die, the immeasurable pure Buddha will transform and manifest an image, allowing that person to see it with their own eyes. They will be unable to speak, and their heart will be filled with joy and excitement. They will think, 'I regret not knowing to observe precepts and do good deeds. Now I should be reborn in the immeasurable pure Buddha-land.' That person will then repent in their heart. Those who repent will have fewer faults, and there will be nothing that needs to be remedied. When that person's life ends, they will be reborn in the immeasurable pure Buddha-land, but they will not be able to directly reach the place where the immeasurable pure Buddha is. On the way, they will see a naturally formed seven-jeweled city at the border of the immeasurable pure Buddha-land, and their heart will be filled with great joy. They will stop in the city and be born by transformation in a lotus flower in a seven-jeweled pond. Their body will naturally grow, and they will stay in the city for five hundred years. The city is two thousand li in each direction, and there are also seven-jeweled houses in the city. Inside and outside the houses, there are seven-jeweled bathing pools. In the bathing pools, there are also natural flowers surrounding them. Above the bathing pools, there are also rows of seven-jeweled trees, all of which emit five kinds of sounds. When it is time to eat, there will also be naturally appearing food in front of them, with all kinds of delicious flavors. They can get whatever they desire. That person is happy in the city. The scenery in that city is like the natural things in the second Trayastrimsa heaven. That person cannot leave the city, nor can they see the immeasurable pure Buddha. They can only see his light, and their heart is filled with self-reproach, joy, and excitement. They also cannot hear the scriptures, nor can they see the various Bhikkhu Sangha, nor can they see and know the various situations in the immeasurable pure Buddha-land. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

菩萨、阿罗汉状貌何等类。其人若如是比而小适耳，佛亦不使尔。身诸所作自然得之，皆心自趣向道入其城中。其人本宿命求道时心口各异，言念无诚，狐疑佛经，复不信向之，当自然入恶道中。无量清净佛哀愍，威神引之去耳。 “其人于城中五百岁乃得出，往至无量清净佛所闻经，心不开解，亦复不得在诸菩萨、阿罗汉、比丘僧中听经。以去所居处舍宅在地，不能令舍宅随意高大、在虚空中；复去无量清净佛甚大远，不能得近附无量清净佛。其人智慧不明，知经复少，心不欢乐、意不开解。其人久久亦自当智慧开解知经，明健勇猛心当欢乐，次当复如上第一辈。所以者何？其人但坐其前世宿命求道时不大持斋戒，亏失经法，心意狐疑，不信佛语、不信佛经深、不信分檀布施作善后世当得其福，复坐中悔，不信往生无量清净佛国，作德不至心，用是故为第二中辈。” 佛言：“其三辈者，其人愿欲生无量清净佛国，若无所用分檀布施，亦不能烧香、散华、然灯、悬缯彩、作佛寺、起塔、饮食沙门者，当断爱欲、无所贪慕、慈心精进、不当瞋怒、斋戒清净。如是清净者，当一心念欲生无量清净佛国，昼夜十日不断绝者，寿终则往生无量清净佛国，可复尊极，智慧勇猛。” 佛言：“其人作是已后， 现代汉语译本：菩萨和阿罗汉的相貌是怎样的呢？如果有人只是稍微像他们一点点，佛也不会让他那样。他们的身体所做的一切都是自然而然得到的，都是心自己趋向于道，进入那座城中。这个人前世求道时，心口不一，言语和念头都不真诚，对佛经抱有怀疑，又不信奉它，自然会堕入恶道。无量清净佛会慈悲怜悯，用威神之力引导他离开那里。 这个人要在城中待五百年才能出来，去到无量清净佛那里听经，但心不开悟，也不能在菩萨、阿罗汉、比丘僧众中听经。因为他离开所居住的房屋时，不能让房屋随意高大，在虚空中；而且离无量清净佛非常遥远，不能靠近无量清净佛。这个人智慧不明，懂得的佛经又少，心中不快乐，意念不开解。这个人久而久之也会自己智慧开悟，懂得佛经，变得明智、强健、勇猛，心中会快乐，然后会像第一类人一样。这是为什么呢？因为这个人只是因为前世求道时没有好好持斋戒，亏损了经法，心意狐疑，不相信佛语、不相信佛经的深奥、不相信布施做善事后世会得到福报，又因为后悔，不相信往生无量清净佛国，做善事不尽心，因此成为第二类人。 佛说：‘第三类人，他们希望往生无量清净佛国，如果没有财物可以布施，也不能烧香、散花、点灯、悬挂彩带、建造佛寺、建造佛塔、供养僧人饮食，就应当断绝爱欲，不贪图任何事物，以慈悲心精进修行，不应当嗔怒，持斋戒清净。像这样清净的人，应当一心念佛，希望往生无量清净佛国，日夜十天不间断，寿命终结时就能往生无量清净佛国，可以再次获得尊贵，智慧勇猛。’ 佛说：‘这个人这样做之后，’

English version: What are the appearances of Bodhisattvas and Arhats like? If a person is only slightly similar to them, the Buddha would not allow it. All that their bodies do is obtained naturally, their minds themselves are inclined towards the path, entering that city. This person, in their past life when seeking the path, had a discrepancy between their heart and mouth, their words and thoughts were not sincere, they doubted the Buddhist scriptures, and did not believe in them, so they would naturally fall into evil paths. The Immeasurable Pure Buddha would have compassion and pity, using their divine power to guide them away. This person would have to stay in the city for five hundred years before being able to leave, going to the Immeasurable Pure Buddha to hear the scriptures, but their mind would not be enlightened, and they would not be able to listen to the scriptures among the Bodhisattvas, Arhats, and Bhikshu Sangha. Because when they left their dwelling, they could not make their dwelling arbitrarily tall and in the void; and they were very far from the Immeasurable Pure Buddha, unable to get close to the Immeasurable Pure Buddha. This person's wisdom is unclear, their understanding of the scriptures is little, their heart is not joyful, and their mind is not enlightened. This person, over time, will eventually have their wisdom enlightened, understand the scriptures, become wise, strong, and courageous, their heart will be joyful, and then they will be like the first group of people. Why is this? Because this person simply did not properly observe the precepts when seeking the path in their past life, they damaged the scriptures, their mind was doubtful, they did not believe in the Buddha's words, did not believe in the profundity of the Buddhist scriptures, did not believe that giving and doing good deeds would bring blessings in the next life, and because of regret, they did not believe in being reborn in the Immeasurable Pure Buddha's land, and did not do good deeds wholeheartedly, therefore they become the second group of people. The Buddha said: 'The third group of people, they wish to be reborn in the Immeasurable Pure Buddha's land, if they do not have wealth to give, nor can they burn incense, scatter flowers, light lamps, hang colorful banners, build Buddhist temples, build pagodas, or offer food to monks, then they should cut off desires, not be greedy for anything, cultivate diligently with a compassionate heart, should not be angry, and observe the precepts purely. Those who are pure in this way should single-mindedly recite the Buddha's name, hoping to be reborn in the Immeasurable Pure Buddha's land, continuously day and night for ten days, when their life ends, they will be reborn in the Immeasurable Pure Buddha's land, and can once again obtain honor, wisdom, and courage.' The Buddha said: 'After this person has done this,' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

若复中作悔心，意用狐疑，不信作善后世当得其福、不信往生无量清净佛国，其人虽尔续得往生。其人寿命病欲终时，无量清净佛则令其人于卧睡梦中见无量清净佛国土，其人心中欢喜，意自念言：‘我悔不知益作善，今当生无量清净佛国。’其人但心念是，口不能复言，则自悔过。悔过者过差减少，悔者无所复及。其人命终则生无量清净佛国，不能得前至，便道见二千里七宝城，心中独欢喜，便止其中。复于七宝水池莲华中化生，则自然长大。其城亦复如前城法，比第二忉利天上自然之物。其人亦复于城中五百岁，五百岁竟乃得出，至无量清净佛所，心中大欢喜。其人听闻经心不开解、意不欢喜、智慧不明，知经复少。所居舍宅在地，不能令舍宅随意高大、在虚空中，复去无量清净佛亦复如是。 “第二辈狐疑者，其人久久亦当智慧开解知经，勇猛心当欢乐，次如上第一辈也。所以者何？皆坐前世宿命求道时中悔狐疑，暂信、暂不信，不信作善后得其福德，皆自然得之耳。随其功德有铉、不铉各自然趣向，说经行道卓德万殊超不相及。” 佛言：“其欲求作菩萨道生无量清净佛国者，其然后皆当得阿惟越致菩萨。阿惟越致菩萨者，皆当有三十二相紫磨金色、八十种好；皆当作佛，随心所愿在欲于何方佛 现代汉语译本 如果有人在心中产生后悔，心怀犹豫，不相信行善后世会得到福报，不相信能往生到无量清净佛国（指阿弥陀佛的净土），这样的人虽然如此，最终也能往生。当这个人寿命将尽，病重垂危时，无量清净佛（指阿弥陀佛）会让他在睡梦中见到无量清净佛的国土。这个人心中欢喜，心里想：‘我后悔没有多做善事，现在将要往生到无量清净佛国了。’这个人只是心中这样想，口里却不能再说出来，于是就自己忏悔过错。忏悔过错的人，过错会减少，不忏悔的人就无法弥补。这个人命终后就会往生到无量清净佛国，但不能立刻到达，而是先在半路上见到一座两千里远的七宝城，心中独自欢喜，就停留在那里。然后又在七宝水池的莲花中化生，自然长大。那座城也和之前的城一样，如同第二忉利天（欲界六天之一）上的自然之物。这个人也会在那城中待五百岁，五百岁过后才能出来，到达无量清净佛所在的地方，心中非常欢喜。这个人听闻佛经，内心不能理解，心中不欢喜，智慧不明，对佛经的了解也很少。他所居住的房屋在地上，不能让房屋随意高大，也不能在虚空中，离无量清净佛的距离也是如此。 第二种心怀犹豫的人，他们经过很久也会智慧开解，理解佛经，生起勇猛欢喜之心，接下来就和前面第一种人一样了。这是为什么呢？都是因为前世宿命求道时，心中后悔犹豫，时而相信，时而不信，不相信行善后能得到福报，这些都是自然而然得到的。随着他们功德的大小，有快有慢，各自自然趋向，所以说经行道，功德的差别是千差万别，无法相比的。 佛说：‘那些想要修菩萨道，往生无量清净佛国的人，他们最终都会成为阿惟越致菩萨（不退转菩萨）。阿惟越致菩萨，都会有三十二相（佛的三十二种殊胜的相貌）、紫磨金色（像紫磨金一样的金色身）、八十种好（佛的八十种细微的特征）；都会成佛，随心所愿，想在哪个佛国成佛都可以。’
