往生——皆当生无量清净佛国。他方异国第十三佛，名乐大妙音，其国有七百九十亿菩萨皆当往生无量清净佛国。” 佛言：“是诸菩萨——皆阿惟越致——诸比丘僧中及小菩萨辈无央数，皆当往生无量清净佛国。不独是十四佛国中诸菩萨当往生也，都八方上下无央数佛国诸菩萨辈各各如是，皆当往生无量清净佛国。其无央数都共往会，无量清净佛国大众多不可复计，我但说八方上下无央数佛名字，昼夜一劫尚未竟。我但复说佛国诸比丘僧众、菩萨当往生无量清净佛国人数，说之一劫不休止尚未竟。我但为若曹总揽都小说之耳。” 佛语阿难阿逸菩萨等：“其世间帝王、人民、善男子、善女人，前世宿命行善所致相禄，乃当闻无量清净佛声，慈心欢喜，我代之喜。” 佛言：“其有善男子、善女人闻无量清净佛声，慈心欢喜，一时踊跃，心意清净，衣毛为起拔出者，皆前世宿命作佛道——若他方佛故，菩萨、非凡人。其有人民——男子、女人——闻无量清净佛声，不信有佛者、不信佛经语、不信有比丘僧、心中狐疑都无所信者，皆故从恶道中来，生愚蒙不解宿命，殃恶未尽、未当得度脱，故心中狐疑不信向耳。” 佛言：“我语若曹，若曹所当作善法皆当奉行信之。无得以我般泥洹去后故， 现代汉语译本 往生者——都应当往生到无量清净佛国。他方异国第十三佛，名为乐大妙音（Buddha Lokadbhuta-svara），他的国土有七百九十亿菩萨，都应当往生到无量清净佛国。 佛说：‘这些菩萨——都是阿惟越致（avaivartika，不退转）——在比丘僧众中以及无数的小菩萨们，都应当往生到无量清净佛国。不只是这十四个佛国中的菩萨应当往生，所有八方上下无数佛国中的菩萨们也都如此，都应当往生到无量清净佛国。他们无数地聚集在一起，前往无量清净佛国，人数之多不可计数。我只是说八方上下无数佛的名字，昼夜不停地说一劫也说不完。我只是再说佛国中比丘僧众、菩萨应当往生无量清净佛国的人数，说一劫不停歇也说不完。我只是为你们总括地简单说说罢了。’ 佛告诉阿难（Ananda）和阿逸（Ajita）菩萨等人：‘世间的帝王、人民、善男子、善女人，前世宿命行善所致的福报，才能够听到无量清净佛的声音，心生慈悲欢喜，我为他们感到高兴。’ 佛说：‘如果有善男子、善女人听到无量清净佛的声音，心生慈悲欢喜，一时踊跃，心意清净，甚至汗毛竖立，这都是前世宿命修佛道所致——或者是他方佛的缘故，或者是菩萨，不是凡人。如果有人——男子、女人——听到无量清净佛的声音，不相信有佛，不相信佛经所说，不相信有比丘僧，心中狐疑，什么都不相信，这些人都是从恶道中来的，生来愚昧，不了解前世的因缘，罪恶还没有消除，不能得到解脱，所以心中狐疑不相信。’ 佛说：‘我告诉你们，你们所应当做的善法都应当奉行并相信。不要因为我般涅槃（parinirvana，圆寂）之后就……’

English version Those who are reborn—all should be reborn in the immeasurable pure Buddha-land. The thirteenth Buddha in another land, named Lokadbhuta-svara (Wonderful Sound of the World), has seven hundred and ninety billion Bodhisattvas in his land, all of whom should be reborn in the immeasurable pure Buddha-land. The Buddha said: 'These Bodhisattvas—all are avaivartika (non-retrogressing)—among the Bhikshu Sangha and countless minor Bodhisattvas, all should be reborn in the immeasurable pure Buddha-land. It is not only the Bodhisattvas in these fourteen Buddha-lands who should be reborn, but also the Bodhisattvas in countless Buddha-lands in all eight directions, above and below, all should be reborn in the immeasurable pure Buddha-land. They gather together in countless numbers, going to the immeasurable pure Buddha-land, their numbers beyond calculation. I am only speaking of the names of the countless Buddhas in all eight directions, above and below, and even if I spoke day and night for an eon, I would not finish. I am only speaking of the number of Bhikshu Sangha and Bodhisattvas in the Buddha-lands who should be reborn in the immeasurable pure Buddha-land, and even if I spoke for an eon without stopping, I would not finish. I am only giving you a brief summary.' The Buddha told Ananda and Ajita Bodhisattva and others: 'The kings, people, good men, and good women of the world, due to the good deeds they performed in their past lives, are able to hear the voice of the immeasurable pure Buddha, and their hearts will be filled with compassion and joy. I rejoice for them.' The Buddha said: 'If there are good men and good women who hear the voice of the immeasurable pure Buddha, and their hearts are filled with compassion and joy, and they are moved to leap with joy, and their minds are pure, and even their hair stands on end, all of this is due to the fact that they cultivated the path of the Buddha in their past lives—either because of another Buddha, or because they were Bodhisattvas, not ordinary people. If there are people—men and women—who hear the voice of the immeasurable pure Buddha, and do not believe in the existence of the Buddha, do not believe in the words of the Buddha's teachings, do not believe in the existence of the Bhikshu Sangha, and are filled with doubt and do not believe in anything, these people have all come from evil paths, are born ignorant, do not understand the causes of their past lives, their evil karma has not been exhausted, and they are not yet able to be liberated, so they are filled with doubt and do not believe.' The Buddha said: 'I tell you, the good deeds that you should do, you should all practice and believe in them. Do not, after my parinirvana (final passing away)...' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

若曹及后世人无得复言：‘我不信有无量清净佛国。’我故令若曹悉见无量清净佛国土，所当为者若自求之。我具为汝曹道说经戒顺法，若曹当如佛法持之，无得毁失。 “我持是经以累汝曹，汝曹当坚持之，无得为妄增减是经法。我般泥洹去后，经道留止千岁，千岁后经道断绝，在心所愿皆可得道。” 佛言：“师开导人耳目，智慧明达，度脱人令得善，舍泥洹之道。常当慈孝，于佛如父母；常念师恩，当念不断绝，则得道疾。” 佛言：“天下有佛者甚难得值，人有信受师法经语深者亦难得值，若有沙门、若师为人说佛经者甚难得值。” 佛说是经时，则万二千亿诸天人民皆得天眼彻视，悉一心皆为菩萨道；则二百二十亿诸天人民皆得阿那含道；则八百沙门皆得阿罗汉道；则四十亿菩萨皆得阿惟越致。 佛说经已，诸菩萨、阿罗汉、诸天、帝王、人民皆大欢喜，前趣为佛作礼，绕佛三匝，以头面着佛足而去。 佛说无量清净平等觉经卷第四 现代汉语译本 如果你们以及后世的人，都不要再说：‘我不相信有无量清净的佛国。’我特意让你们都看到无量清净的佛国土，你们应当自己去追求。我已经为你们详细讲述了经文戒律和顺应佛法的内容，你们应当按照佛法来奉持，不要毁坏或丢失。 我把这部经托付给你们，你们应当坚持奉持，不要虚妄地增减这部经法。我涅槃之后，经道将留存一千年，一千年后经道断绝，但只要心中有所愿求，都可以得道。 佛说：‘老师是开启人们的耳目，使人智慧明达，引导人们获得善果，最终舍弃涅槃之道的人。应当常常慈爱孝顺，对待佛像对待父母一样；常常感念师恩，这种念头不要断绝，这样就能快速得道。’ 佛说：‘天下有佛出现是非常难得遇到的，人能够深信并接受老师所讲的佛法经文也是非常难得遇到的，如果有沙门（出家修道者）、或者老师为人们讲解佛经，更是非常难得遇到的。’ 佛陀讲这部经的时候，有一万二千亿诸天和人民都获得了天眼通（能看见遥远或肉眼看不见的事物的能力），他们都一心发愿要修菩萨道；有二百二十亿诸天和人民都获得了阿那含道（不还果，不再轮回欲界）；有八百沙门都获得了阿罗汉道（断尽烦恼，不再轮回）；有四十亿菩萨都获得了阿惟越致（不退转，不会退回较低的修行阶段）。 佛陀讲完这部经后，所有的菩萨、阿罗汉、诸天、帝王、人民都非常欢喜，他们走到佛前向佛顶礼，绕佛三圈，然后以头面触地礼拜佛足后离去。 《佛说无量清净平等觉经》卷第四

English version If you and future generations must not say again: ‘I do not believe there are immeasurable pure Buddha lands.’ I have specifically made you all see the immeasurable pure Buddha lands; what you should do is seek it yourselves. I have fully explained to you the scriptures, precepts, and what accords with the Dharma. You should uphold them according to the Buddha's teachings, and not destroy or lose them. I entrust this scripture to you; you should uphold it firmly, and not falsely add to or subtract from this scripture. After my Parinirvana, the path of the scriptures will remain for a thousand years. After a thousand years, the path of the scriptures will be cut off, but whatever is desired in the heart can still lead to enlightenment. The Buddha said: ‘A teacher opens people's ears and eyes, makes their wisdom clear and bright, guides people to attain goodness, and ultimately abandons the path of Nirvana. One should always be kind and filial, treating the Buddha as one would treat one's parents; always remember the teacher's kindness, and do not let this thought cease, then one can quickly attain enlightenment.’ The Buddha said: ‘It is very rare to encounter a Buddha in the world, and it is also very rare for people to deeply believe in and accept the Buddha's teachings and scriptures spoken by a teacher. If there is a Shramana (a monastic practitioner) or a teacher who explains the Buddha's scriptures to people, it is even more rare to encounter.’ When the Buddha spoke this scripture, twelve trillion devas (gods) and people all attained the divine eye (the ability to see distant or invisible things), and they all single-mindedly vowed to cultivate the Bodhisattva path; two hundred and twenty billion devas and people all attained the Anagami path (the non-returner, who will not be reborn in the desire realm); eight hundred Shramanas all attained the Arhat path (one who has extinguished all afflictions and will not be reborn); and forty billion Bodhisattvas all attained Avaivartika (non-retrogression, will not regress to a lower stage of practice). After the Buddha finished speaking this scripture, all the Bodhisattvas, Arhats, devas, kings, and people were greatly delighted. They went before the Buddha, bowed to the Buddha, circumambulated the Buddha three times, and then bowed with their heads touching the Buddha's feet before departing.
