于是阿难起住佛前，三举声说此偈言： “佛为一切护， 今日当泥洹， 世间当复冥， 为以失眼明。 国王及尊者， 畀褫国勤苦， 何忍闻是言， 佛当般泥洹。 力士力士妻， 力士子俱来， 悲哀皆啼泣， 最后见世尊。 诸天龙之类， 周匝五由旬， 涕流至于膝， 除余诸人民。 难头和难龙， 六十亿龙俱， 皆来共啼哭， 最后见世尊。 和陵摩奈龙， 娑竭有大力， 泪啼一由旬， 往诣于佛所。 阿耨达龙王， 百亿众围绕， 泪涕如车轮， 往至于佛所。 伊隶钵龙王， 化作大身来， 啼泣发洪音， 往到于佛所。 千亿诸鬼神， 及百那术众， 前稽首佛足， 最后见世尊。 诸释有亿千， 其众百那术， 前行礼佛足， 明眼莫泥洹。 于是亿梵天， 明照是天地， 前礼于佛足， 愿尊住一劫。 魔子于彼来， 导师自言在， 现代汉语译本 第一法，是因为要离开释尊（释迦牟尼佛）。 诸佛有大慈悲，将来会来到世人所在之处， 阿难（佛陀的弟子）你不要悲伤，人中之尊（佛陀）已经起身。 诸天和龙尚且忧愁，更何况是你们自身呢？ 这样的光明，将要在世间灭尽。 佛陀这样说，是当面从世尊那里听到的， 即使住世亿劫，所有的聚会终究会有别离的时候。 于是阿难起身站在佛前，三次高声说了这首偈语： 佛陀是一切众生的守护者，今日将要入涅槃， 世间将要再次陷入黑暗，如同失去了眼睛的光明。 国王和尊者们，都将放弃国家的辛劳， 怎能忍心听到这样的话，佛陀将要入般涅槃。 力士、力士的妻子，力士的儿子都来了， 他们悲哀地哭泣，最后一次见世尊。 诸天和龙的种类，在周围五由旬（古印度长度单位）的地方， 眼泪流到膝盖，除了其他的人民。 难头和难龙（龙的名字），带着六十亿条龙， 都来一起哭泣，最后一次见世尊。 和陵摩奈龙（龙的名字），娑竭（龙的名字）有大力， 眼泪流了一由旬，前往佛陀所在之处。 阿耨达龙王（龙的名字），被百亿众生围绕， 眼泪像车轮一样大，前往佛陀所在之处。 伊隶钵龙王（龙的名字），化作巨大的身体前来， 哭泣发出巨大的声音，前往佛陀所在之处。 千亿诸鬼神，以及百那术（数量单位）的众生， 向前叩拜佛足，最后一次见世尊。 诸释迦族有亿千，他们的数量有百那术， 向前礼拜佛足，明眼（佛陀）不要入涅槃。 于是亿万梵天，光明照耀着天地， 向前礼拜佛足，愿尊者住世一劫。 魔子从那里来，说导师（佛陀）自己还在，

English version The first dharma is because of leaving Shakyamuni (Buddha). All Buddhas have great compassion and will come to where people are in the future, Ananda (Buddha's disciple), do not be sad, the honored one among men (Buddha) has already risen. The gods and dragons are still worried, let alone yourselves? Such light will be extinguished in the world. The Buddha said this, having heard it directly from the World Honored One, Even if he lives for billions of kalpas, all gatherings will eventually have separations. Then Ananda rose and stood before the Buddha, and said this verse three times in a loud voice: The Buddha is the protector of all beings, and today he will enter Nirvana, The world will once again fall into darkness, as if losing the light of the eyes. Kings and honored ones will give up the hardships of their countries, How can they bear to hear such words, that the Buddha will enter Parinirvana. The strong men, the strong men's wives, and the strong men's sons have all come, They are crying sadly, seeing the World Honored One for the last time. The kinds of gods and dragons, within a radius of five yojanas (an ancient Indian unit of length), Their tears flowed to their knees, except for the other people. Nanda and Upananda dragons (names of dragons), with sixty billion dragons, They all came to cry together, seeing the World Honored One for the last time. Varuna and Sagara dragons (names of dragons), with great power, Their tears flowed for one yojana, going to where the Buddha was. Anavatapta Dragon King (name of a dragon), surrounded by hundreds of billions of beings, His tears were as big as chariot wheels, going to where the Buddha was. Erapata Dragon King (name of a dragon), transformed into a huge body and came, Crying and making a huge sound, going to where the Buddha was. Billions of ghosts and spirits, and hundreds of nayutas (a unit of quantity) of beings, Prostrated themselves before the Buddha's feet, seeing the World Honored One for the last time. The Shakyas have billions and thousands, and their number is hundreds of nayutas, They bowed before the Buddha's feet, may the clear-eyed one (Buddha) not enter Nirvana. Then billions of Brahma gods, their light illuminating the heavens and the earth, Bowed before the Buddha's feet, wishing the honored one to live for one kalpa. The son of Mara came from there, saying that the guide (Buddha) himself is still here, -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 哀念一切故， 愿尊住一劫。”

尔时空无菩萨为释、梵、天龙鬼神、犍沓和、魔子导师说偈言： “汝等皆无知， 但作强法语， 已为放逸行， 于今甫啼泣。 譬如诸嵩𤠞， 所住于无黠， 若人以刀击， 即便懅悲唤。 卿等亦如是， 一切皆啼泣， 若正觉在者， 故行放逸行。 今日光当去， 其智譬如海， 卿等当何作？ 释尊已泥洹。” 是时佛告贤者阿那律、大迦旃延、分耨文陀尼弗、鸠摩迦叶、须菩提、目呵罗耶、大拘絺：“汝等皆伸臂授如来掌。”应时十万比丘伸臂授世尊掌。佛以左手授诸比丘掌，右手持阿难、罗云掌着诸比丘手中：“我所以亲敬阿难、罗云嘱累汝等。”尔时即如其像有大自然音，其音遍告一佛国。其千比丘闻所嘱累，欲放身命，言：“我等当先没泥洹，不忍见世雄般泥洹时也。”于是佛伸臂向北方，应时他方世界五百佛伸手授佛掌。佛便持阿难、罗云手着诸佛掌中：“我持所亲阿难及子罗云累诸世雄。”尔时佛便说偈言： “我持子罗云， 及侍者阿难， 面以此嘱累， 诸佛之世尊。 谁为无护者， 能为作拥护， 独诸佛世尊， 其智无挂碍。 今日之夜半， 天龙世人民， 在阎浮提者， 现代汉语译本： ‘哀怜一切众生，愿您（佛陀）住世一劫。’ 那时，空无菩萨为释提桓因（帝释天）、梵天、天龙鬼神、犍闼婆（天乐神）、魔子导师说偈语： ‘你们都无知，只会说些强硬的话语， 已经放纵自己的行为，如今才开始啼哭。 譬如那些愚笨的虫子，住在没有智慧的地方， 如果有人用刀击打它们，它们就会惊恐地悲鸣。 你们也像这样，全都啼哭， 如果正觉（佛陀）还在，你们就会放纵自己的行为。 今天，光明将要离去，他的智慧犹如大海， 你们将如何是好？释尊（佛陀）已经入灭。’ 这时，佛告诉贤者阿那律（Aniruddha）、大迦旃延（Mahakatyayana）、分耨文陀尼弗（Punna Mantaniputra）、鸠摩迦叶（Kumarajiva）、须菩提（Subhuti）、目呵罗耶（Mokhalaya）、大拘絺（Mahakosthila）：‘你们都伸出手臂，把手掌交给如来。’当时，十万比丘伸出手臂，把手掌交给世尊。佛用左手接过众比丘的手掌，右手拿着阿难（Ananda）、罗云（Rahula）的手，放在众比丘的手中：‘我之所以亲近敬重阿难、罗云，是因为要将他们嘱托给你们。’当时，就像那个景象一样，有巨大的自然之音，那声音遍告一个佛国。那千位比丘听到所嘱托的事情，想要舍弃生命，说：‘我们应当先入灭，不忍心见到世雄（佛陀）入灭的时候。’于是，佛伸出手臂向北方，当时，他方世界的五百佛伸出手，把手掌交给佛。佛便拿着阿难、罗云的手，放在诸佛的手中：‘我把所亲近的阿难和儿子罗云，托付给诸位世雄。’当时，佛便说偈语： ‘我把儿子罗云，以及侍者阿难， 当面以此嘱托给，诸佛世尊。 谁能为无依无靠者，作为庇护， 唯有诸佛世尊，他们的智慧没有障碍。 今天夜半时分，天龙、世人、 在阎浮提（Jambudvipa）的众生，

English version: 'Out of compassion for all beings, I wish that the Honored One would remain for a kalpa (an extremely long period of time).' At that time, Bodhisattva Emptiness spoke a verse to Shakra (Indra), Brahma, the gods, dragons, spirits, Gandharvas (celestial musicians), and the teachers of the demon princes: 'You are all ignorant, only speaking harsh words, Having already indulged in reckless behavior, you now begin to weep. Like those foolish insects, dwelling in a place without wisdom, If someone strikes them with a knife, they will cry out in fear and sorrow. You are also like this, all weeping, If the Perfectly Awakened One (Buddha) were still here, you would indulge in reckless behavior. Today, the light will depart, his wisdom is like the ocean, What will you do? Shakyamuni (Buddha) has already entered Nirvana.' At that time, the Buddha said to the venerable Aniruddha, Mahakatyayana, Punna Mantaniputra, Kumarajiva, Subhuti, Mokhalaya, and Mahakosthila: 'All of you extend your arms and give your palms to the Tathagata.' At that moment, one hundred thousand monks extended their arms and gave their palms to the World Honored One. The Buddha took the palms of the monks with his left hand, and with his right hand, he took the hands of Ananda and Rahula and placed them in the hands of the monks: 'The reason I am close to and respect Ananda and Rahula is that I am entrusting them to you.' At that time, just like that image, there was a great natural sound, and that sound spread throughout a Buddha-land. The thousand monks, upon hearing what was entrusted to them, wanted to give up their lives, saying: 'We should enter Nirvana first, we cannot bear to see the World Hero (Buddha) enter Nirvana.' Then, the Buddha extended his arm towards the north, and at that moment, five hundred Buddhas from other worlds extended their hands and gave their palms to the Buddha. The Buddha then took the hands of Ananda and Rahula and placed them in the hands of the Buddhas: 'I entrust my close ones, Ananda and my son Rahula, to all of you World Heroes.' At that time, the Buddha spoke a verse: 'I entrust my son Rahula, and my attendant Ananda, Face to face, I entrust them to all the Buddhas, the World Honored Ones. Who can be a protector for the unprotected, Only the Buddhas, the World Honored Ones, their wisdom is without hindrance. Tonight, at midnight, the gods, dragons, people of the world, Those in Jambudvipa (the earthly realm), -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 不复得见我。 遍观诸世界， 无量难思议， 都不见一人， 当为住度者。 无央数亿劫， 譬如恒边沙， 能以一人故， 忍住尔所劫。 其奉敬佛法， 我义度此人， 以无恭恪者， 亿佛不能疗。”

尔时五百佛各欲还其国土，授阿难、罗云掌已，便说偈言： “其奉敬诸佛， 佛义度此人， 所示现济脱， 辄广弘法鼓。 释师子世尊， 涤除诸忧患， 饱满亿数人， 如天雨润地。” 于是阿难、罗云为诸佛跪啼泣悲诉，说偈言： “愿诸大勇猛， 劝尊住一劫， 诸佛之威神， 令明住一劫， 令无数亿人， 得义住正谛， 天龙诸鬼神， 皆发大道意。” 尔时五百佛各各还其世界已，告贤者阿难、罗云言：“止！阿难、罗云！无忧无悲。诸佛天中天法伸臂者为已竟。若放光明及来若住，是为诸佛之示现也。” 度地狱品第五 于是佛便三昧，右足大指放亿那术百千光明，一一光明端化作亿百千莲华，一一莲华上化作亿百千座，一一座上有一化如来坐说法，一一如来令亿那术百千人立不起灭地。时佛复以左足大指放亿那术百千光明，十足指放十亿那术百千光明，十手指放十亿那术百千光明，两膝放二 现代汉语译本 ‘我’将不再被看见。 遍观所有世界，无量且难以思议， 都找不到一个人，可以作为我停留并度化之人。 即使经过无数亿劫，如同恒河沙粒般众多， 能为了一个人，忍耐停留如此之久。 如果有人奉行敬重佛法，我就会度化此人， 但对于不恭敬的人，即使亿万佛陀也无法救治。 这时，五百佛各自想要返回自己的国土，将阿难（Ananda，佛陀的十大弟子之一，以多闻著称）、罗云（Rahula，佛陀的儿子）托付给对方后，便说了偈语： ‘如果有人奉行敬重诸佛，佛陀就会度化此人，’ ‘所展现的救济和解脱，都会广为弘扬佛法。’ ‘释迦狮子世尊（Sakyamuni，佛陀的尊号），涤除一切忧患，’ ‘使亿万众人得到满足，如同天降雨水滋润大地。’ 于是，阿难、罗云为诸佛跪地哭泣悲伤地诉说，并说了偈语： ‘愿诸位大勇猛者，劝请尊者停留一劫，’ ‘诸佛的威神之力，令光明停留一劫，’ ‘令无数亿人，得以领悟真谛，安住于正道，’ ‘天龙（Naga，佛教护法神）诸鬼神，都发起无上菩提之心。’ 这时，五百佛各自返回自己的世界后，告诉贤者阿难、罗云说：‘停止吧！阿难、罗云！不要忧愁悲伤。诸佛天中天（佛陀的尊称）所伸出的手臂已经完成。无论是放出光明，还是前来，还是停留，这都是诸佛的示现。’ 度地狱品第五 这时，佛陀进入三昧（Samadhi，禅定），右脚大拇指放出亿那术（Nayuta，数量单位，表示极大的数目）百千光明，每一道光明端都化作亿百千莲花，每一朵莲花上都化作亿百千座，每一座上都有一位化身如来坐着说法，每一位如来都令亿那术百千人安住于不生不灭之地。这时，佛陀又以左脚大拇指放出亿那术百千光明，十个脚趾放出十亿那术百千光明，十个手指放出十亿那术百千光明，两膝放出二

English version 'I' will not be seen again. Looking throughout all the worlds, immeasurable and inconceivable, I do not see a single person who could be the one for whom I should stay and liberate. Even after countless eons, as numerous as the sands of the Ganges, To be able to stay for so long for the sake of one person. If someone reveres and respects the Buddha's teachings, I will liberate that person, But for those who are not respectful, even billions of Buddhas cannot cure them. At that time, the five hundred Buddhas each wished to return to their own lands. After entrusting Ananda (one of the ten great disciples of the Buddha, known for his great learning) and Rahula (the Buddha's son) to each other, they spoke in verses: 'If someone reveres and respects all the Buddhas, the Buddha will liberate that person,' 'The salvation and liberation shown will widely propagate the Dharma.' 'Sakyamuni (another name for the Buddha) the Lion of the Sakyas, eliminates all worries and afflictions,' 'Satisfying billions of people, like the rain from the sky nourishing the earth.' Then, Ananda and Rahula knelt down before the Buddhas, weeping and lamenting, and spoke in verses: 'May all the great courageous ones, urge the honored ones to stay for one kalpa (an extremely long period of time),' 'The majestic power of the Buddhas, let the light remain for one kalpa,' 'So that countless billions of people, may understand the true meaning and abide in the right path,' 'May the Nagas (mythical serpent beings) and all the spirits, all generate the aspiration for the supreme path.' At that time, after the five hundred Buddhas each returned to their own worlds, they told the venerable Ananda and Rahula: 'Stop! Ananda, Rahula! Do not worry or grieve. The outstretched arms of the Buddhas, the gods among gods, are already completed. Whether it is emitting light, coming, or staying, this is the manifestation of the Buddhas.' Chapter Five: On Liberating from Hell Then, the Buddha entered Samadhi (a state of meditative consciousness), and from the big toe of his right foot, he emitted billions of Nayutas (a large number) of hundreds of thousands of lights. At the end of each light, billions of hundreds of thousands of lotuses appeared. On each lotus, billions of hundreds of thousands of seats appeared. On each seat, there was a manifested Tathagata (another name for the Buddha) sitting and teaching the Dharma. Each Tathagata caused billions of Nayutas of hundreds of thousands of people to abide in the place of non-birth and non-death. Then, the Buddha emitted billions of Nayutas of hundreds of thousands of lights from the big toe of his left foot, ten billion Nayutas of hundreds of thousands of lights from his ten toes, ten billion Nayutas of hundreds of thousands of lights from his ten fingers, and two --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
