。阿难！此佛国有无央数亿百千人，与此童子殖众德本。是童子适生于是佛国，悉当令其同辈之众漏尽意解得住学地，于无上正真道得不退转。” 于是四菩萨往诣佛所，同一时前稽首佛足。佛告阿难：“如来所当作者，及如来弟子，以令一切具足得其所。是神通华菩萨以此金交露之变化，令七十亿人得阿罗汉，七十亿那术人住学地，七十亿百人立无上正真道，七十亿那术人得不起法忍立，无数人当值弥勒时。” 佛说方等般泥洹经卷上 大正藏第 12 册 No. 0378 佛说方等般泥洹经 佛说方等般泥洹经卷下 西晋月氏三藏竺法护译 嘱累品第四 尔时贤者阿难白佛言：“唯世尊住一劫复过一劫。所以者何？唯天中天！如来、无所著、等正觉在于世者，是诸正士来至此，我等得见跪拜承事。如来般泥洹已后，我曹永绝于三处。何等为三？佛、法、僧。是等正士为离三处。”于是阿难说此语已啼泣躄地。于时善思义菩萨为阿难说此偈言： “阿难仁莫啼， 万物皆无常， 合会有别离， 况人焉可常？ 于是空无法， 阿难何为啼？ 咸有聚会者， 诸会难得久， 佛道亦无得， 阿难何为悲？ 所合会为空， 慧慧亦复空， 若念 现代汉语译本：阿难！这个佛国有无数亿百千人，与这个童子一同种下各种功德的根本。这个童子刚出生在这个佛国，就能够让所有同辈的人都断尽烦恼，心意解脱，证得有学之位，在无上正真之道上得到不退转的境界。 于是，四位菩萨前往佛陀所在之处，同时向前向佛陀的足部顶礼。佛陀告诉阿难：‘如来所应当做的事情，以及如来的弟子们所应当做的事情，是为了让一切众生都能够圆满具足地得到他们所应得的。这位神通华菩萨通过这金交露的变化，使得七十亿人证得阿罗汉果位，七十亿那术（一种数量单位）人安住于有学之位，七十亿百人确立了无上正真之道，七十亿那术人证得不起法忍的境界，无数的人将在弥勒佛出世时得度。’ 《佛说方等般泥洹经》卷上 大正藏第 12 册 No. 0378 《佛说方等般泥洹经》 《佛说方等般泥洹经》卷下 西晋月氏三藏竺法护译 嘱累品第四 当时，贤者阿难对佛陀说：‘唯愿世尊住世一劫，甚至超过一劫。这是为什么呢？唯有天中之天！如来、无所著、等正觉在世的时候，这些正士才能来到这里，我们才能得见、跪拜、承事。如来入般泥洹之后，我们这些人将永远失去三处依靠。哪三处呢？佛、法、僧。这些正士也将离开这三处依靠。’于是，阿难说完这些话后，哭泣着倒在地上。这时，善思义菩萨为阿难说了这首偈语： ‘阿难啊，你不要哭泣，万物都是无常的，聚合必然有分离，何况是人呢，怎么可能常住？这里是空无一物的，阿难你为何哭泣？凡是聚合的，都难以长久，佛道也是不可得的，阿难你为何悲伤？凡是聚合的都是空，智慧也是空，如果念头’

English version: 'Ananda! In this Buddha-land, there are countless billions of people who, together with this child, plant the roots of various virtues. This child, upon being born in this Buddha-land, will enable all his peers to exhaust their defilements, attain liberation of mind, abide in the stage of learning, and achieve non-retrogression on the unsurpassed path of true enlightenment.' Then, four Bodhisattvas went to where the Buddha was, and at the same time, they bowed their heads to the Buddha's feet. The Buddha told Ananda, 'What the Tathagata should do, and what the Tathagata's disciples should do, is to enable all beings to fully obtain what they deserve. This Bodhisattva, Supernatural Flower, through the transformation of this golden dew, has enabled seventy billion people to attain the Arhatship, seventy billion nayuta (a unit of number) people to abide in the stage of learning, seventy billion hundred people to establish the unsurpassed path of true enlightenment, seventy billion nayuta people to attain the non-arising forbearance, and countless people will be saved when Maitreya Buddha appears.' 'The Sutra of the Buddha's Discourse on the Great Nirvana, Volume One' 'Taisho Tripitaka Volume 12, No. 0378, The Sutra of the Buddha's Discourse on the Great Nirvana' 'The Sutra of the Buddha's Discourse on the Great Nirvana, Volume Two' 'Translated by the Tripiṭaka Master Dharmarakṣa of the Yuezhi during the Western Jin Dynasty' 'Chapter Four: Entrustment' At that time, the Venerable Ananda said to the Buddha, 'May the World Honored One abide for one kalpa, or even more than one kalpa. Why is that? Only when the Tathagata, the Unattached One, the Perfectly Enlightened One, is in the world, can these righteous ones come here, and we can see, bow, and serve. After the Tathagata enters Parinirvana, we will forever lose three refuges. What are the three? The Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha. These righteous ones will also leave these three refuges.' Then, after Ananda said these words, he wept and fell to the ground. At this time, the Bodhisattva Good Thought spoke this verse to Ananda: 'Ananda, do not weep, all things are impermanent, gatherings must have separations, how much more so for people, how can they be permanent? Here, there is nothing, Ananda, why do you weep? All that gathers will not last long, the Buddha's path is also unattainable, Ananda, why are you sad? All that gathers is empty, wisdom is also empty, if the thought' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 若不念， 一切法无念。 无获空无有， 譬若如野马， 又如化象马， 园果树木华， 巧幻师所现， 佛弟子如是。” 于是阿难以偈答善思义菩萨言： “实然如仁言， 诸法无所念， 我今日当离， 违远于世尊， 云何入舍卫， 彼问以何答？ 正觉为在不？ 法眼当来不？ 若入香积山， 不见人中尊， 但见其空座， 何忍住于彼。 若出香积山， 入迦利精舍， 人中尊在中， 广说于四谛； 见迦利罗空， 无世雄光神， 若入音声园， 于中独啼哭。 用不见正觉， 驰走趣四方， 其泪充满目， 何忍住于彼。”

尔时喜信净菩萨为贤者阿难说偈言： “若亿岁愁忧， 安可有所得？ 阿难且观是， 法界甚难得。 譬如芭蕉树， 叶叶分解之， 获之无所得， 万物皆如是。 譬如天雨时， 水中之有泡， 适起便复漂， 万物亦如是。 譬如水之沫， 但可以眼观， 获之不可得， 四种亦如是。 譬如明镜净， 影现不可得， 三界亦如是， 阿难何为啼？” 于是阿难以偈答喜信净菩萨言： “非为不知是， 不为不见是， 三界无所有， 现代汉语译本 若不执着于念头，一切法本无念。 不执着于空无所得，就像野马一样， 又像幻化出来的象马，园中的果树和花朵， 都是巧妙的幻术师所展现的，佛的弟子也应如此看待一切。 于是阿难用偈语回答善思义菩萨说： ‘确实如您所说，一切法本无所念， 我今天将要离开，远离世尊， 如何进入舍卫城，别人问我该如何回答？ 正觉（指佛陀）是否还在？法眼（指佛陀的智慧）是否还会到来？ 如果进入香积山，却见不到人中尊（指佛陀）， 只能看到空荡的座位，我怎能忍心住在那里。 如果离开香积山，进入迦利精舍， 人中尊（指佛陀）在那里，广说四谛（苦、集、灭、道）； 看到迦利精舍空无一人，没有世雄（指佛陀）的光辉， 如果进入音声园，只能独自在那里哭泣。 因为见不到正觉（指佛陀），只能奔走四方， 泪水充满眼眶，我怎能忍心住在那里。’ 这时，喜信净菩萨为贤者阿难说了偈语： ‘即使忧愁亿万年，又怎能有所得呢？ 阿难，你且看看，法界（指宇宙万法）是多么难以把握。 譬如芭蕉树，一片片叶子剥开， 最终什么也得不到，万物皆是如此。 譬如天下雨时，水中的泡沫， 刚出现就又消散，万物也是如此。 譬如水面的泡沫，只能用眼睛看到， 却无法抓住，四种（指地、水、火、风）也是如此。 譬如明亮的镜子，映现的影像无法抓住， 三界（指欲界、色界、无色界）也是如此，阿难你为何哭泣？’ 于是阿难用偈语回答喜信净菩萨说： ‘并非不知道这些道理，并非没有看到这些道理， 三界本无所有，

English version If one does not cling to thoughts, all dharmas are without thought. Not grasping at emptiness and non-existence, it's like a wild horse, Or like an illusionary elephant or horse, the fruits and flowers of the garden trees, All are manifestations of a skillful illusionist; thus should the Buddha's disciples view all things. Then Ananda replied to Bodhisattva Good-Thought with a verse: 'Indeed, as you say, all dharmas are without thought, Today I am about to depart, far from the World Honored One, How shall I enter Shravasti, and what shall I answer when asked? Is the Rightly Awakened One (Buddha) still there? Will the Dharma Eye (Buddha's wisdom) come again? If I enter Fragrant Mountain and do not see the Honored One among men (Buddha), But only see the empty seat, how can I bear to stay there? If I leave Fragrant Mountain and enter the Karali Vihara, The Honored One among men (Buddha) is there, extensively explaining the Four Noble Truths; Seeing Karali empty, without the light of the Hero of the World (Buddha), If I enter the Sound Garden, I can only weep alone there. Because I cannot see the Rightly Awakened One (Buddha), I can only run in all directions, Tears filling my eyes, how can I bear to stay there?' At that time, Bodhisattva Joyful-Faith-Purity spoke a verse to the venerable Ananda: 'Even if you grieve for billions of years, what can you gain? Ananda, look at this, the Dharma Realm (universe and all phenomena) is so difficult to grasp. Like a banana tree, if you peel off each leaf, You will gain nothing, all things are like this. Like the bubbles in the water when it rains, They arise and then disappear, all things are like this. Like the foam on the water, it can only be seen with the eyes, But cannot be grasped, the four elements (earth, water, fire, wind) are also like this. Like a clear mirror, the reflected image cannot be grasped, The three realms (desire realm, form realm, formless realm) are also like this, Ananda, why do you weep?' Then Ananda replied to Bodhisattva Joyful-Faith-Purity with a verse: 'It is not that I do not know these principles, it is not that I have not seen these principles, The three realms are without substance,

经常载说此。 见是亿人众， 泪下皆交流， 至我所愁泣， 用是益感戚。 今世尊当去， 人上忽不现， 当于何求索？ 谁复为我护？ 当从谁闻法， 深奥难解句？ 当入何所难， 呜呼佛难值！” 尔时空无菩萨为阿难说偈言： “阿难起莫忧， 观于法非法， 法为不可得， 何缘当有灭？ 如诸佛生时， 得道亦如是， 如佛转法轮， 泥洹亦如是。 生不生于生， 佛道亦无灭， 于无生之法， 阿难何为啼？ 观我身毛孔， 诸所讲说业， 说佛空无有， 法界亦如是。” 于是阿难以偈答空无菩萨言： “仁等各当去， 于诸界无忧， 当见亿诸佛， 讲说上妙法。 我等及亿天， 周匝相围绕， 比丘比丘尼， 共举声吁嗟。 或从数千里， 皆来至我所， 号呼声远闻， 释师子所在。 忉利及焰天， 兜术泥摩罗， 世尊为至梵， 何时当来下？ 在闲居三月， 人中尊一心， 世雄何时起， 当复击法鼓？” 尔时神通华菩萨为阿难说偈言： “我为以知是， 自期于三月， 示现于仁前， 阿难可勿啼。 我当故为汝， 启白于如来， 令转 现代汉语译本 他们经常这样说： ‘看到这亿万民众，泪水都交织流淌，他们来到我这里愁苦哭泣，这更加让我感到悲伤。’ ‘如今世尊（佛陀）将要离去，忽然从人们眼前消失，我们应当向何处寻求？谁还能再来护佑我们？’ ‘我们应当从谁那里听闻佛法，那些深奥难解的语句？我们应当进入何等艰难的境地？唉，佛陀真是难以值遇啊！’ 这时，空无菩萨对阿难（佛陀的侍者）说偈语： ‘阿难，起来不要忧愁，观察法与非法，法是不可得的，又怎么会有灭亡呢？’ ‘如同诸佛出生时一样，得道也是如此，如同佛陀转法轮（宣讲佛法）一样，涅槃（寂灭）也是如此。’ ‘生不是真正的生，佛道也没有真正的灭，对于无生的法，阿难你为何哭泣？’ ‘观察我身上的毛孔，以及我所讲说的业，说佛是空无所有的，法界（宇宙万法）也是如此。’ 于是，阿难用偈语回答空无菩萨说： ‘诸位各自应当离去，在各个世界都不要忧愁，将会见到亿万诸佛，宣讲至高无上的妙法。’ ‘我们以及亿万天人，都团团围绕着，比丘（出家男众）和比丘尼（出家女众），一起发出叹息的声音。’ ‘有的从数千里之外，都来到我这里，号哭的声音传得很远，询问释迦狮子（佛陀）在哪里。’ ‘忉利天（欲界第二天）和焰天（欲界第三天），兜术天（欲界第四天）和泥摩罗天（欲界第五天），世尊前往梵天（色界天），何时才能下来？’ ‘在闲静处居住了三个月，人中之尊一心禅定，世雄（佛陀）何时才能起身，再次敲响法鼓（宣讲佛法）？’ 这时，神通华菩萨对阿难说偈语： ‘我已经知道这件事，自己约定三个月，显现在你面前，阿难你不要哭泣。’ ‘我将特意为你，禀告如来（佛陀），让他转动法轮（宣讲佛法）。’

English version They often say this: 'Seeing these billions of people, tears flow in streams, they come to me weeping in sorrow, which makes me feel even more grief.' 'Now the World Honored One (Buddha) is about to depart, suddenly disappearing from people's sight, where should we seek? Who will protect us again?' 'From whom should we hear the Dharma, those profound and difficult to understand words? Into what kind of difficult situation should we enter? Alas, it is so difficult to encounter a Buddha!' At that time, the Bodhisattva Emptiness said to Ananda (Buddha's attendant) in verse: 'Ananda, arise and do not grieve, observe the Dharma and non-Dharma, the Dharma is unattainable, how can there be extinction?' 'Just as when all Buddhas are born, enlightenment is also like this, just as the Buddha turns the Dharma wheel (preaches the Dharma), Nirvana (extinction) is also like this.' 'Birth is not true birth, the Buddha's path has no true extinction, regarding the Dharma of non-birth, why do you weep, Ananda?' 'Observe the pores of my body, and the karma I have spoken, saying that the Buddha is empty and non-existent, the Dharma realm (all phenomena of the universe) is also like this.' Then, Ananda answered the Bodhisattva Emptiness in verse: 'You all should depart, in all realms do not worry, you will see billions of Buddhas, preaching the supreme and wonderful Dharma.' 'We and billions of devas (gods), all surround, the Bhikkhus (monks) and Bhikkhunis (nuns), together raise voices of lamentation.' 'Some from thousands of miles away, all come to me, the sound of weeping is heard far away, asking where is Shakya Lion (Buddha).' 'Trayastrimsa Heaven (second heaven of the desire realm) and Yama Heaven (third heaven of the desire realm), Tushita Heaven (fourth heaven of the desire realm) and Nimarati Heaven (fifth heaven of the desire realm), the World Honored One goes to Brahma Heaven (heaven of the form realm), when will he come down?' 'Having stayed in seclusion for three months, the Honored One among men is in deep meditation, when will the Hero of the World (Buddha) arise, and strike the Dharma drum (preach the Dharma) again?' At that time, the Bodhisattva Divine Flower said to Ananda in verse: 'I already know this matter, I have made an appointment for three months, to appear before you, Ananda, do not weep.' 'I will especially for you, report to the Tathagata (Buddha), and ask him to turn the Dharma wheel (preach the Dharma).' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 第一法， 用离释尊故。 诸佛有大哀， 当来至人所， 阿难勿得悲， 人中尊以起。 诸天龙尚忧， 何况于汝身， 如是之光明， 乃于世灭尽。 佛为以说是， 面从世尊闻， 虽住于亿劫， 诸会犹别离。”
