、以无碍法眼、以无碍慧眼、以无碍天眼、以无碍肉眼,以大慈大哀。于一切用一切佛法无上之德,用一切如来觉法。于彼八亿那术百千有命之类,悉蒙五百万亿那术种光音,除诸勤苦皆得安隐,出彼合会、大合会、不可意地狱,得生波罗尼蜜和耶越天,闻是法已着志得阿那含道。于是佛便住于梵天说偈言: “诸人无勤苦,  则为第一安,  为说勤苦应,  诸想无有念。  一切无所想,  如于此所说,  在三界岂安?  数数有生死。  其有解空空,  彼空乃为空,  其说深缚者,  彼能解于空。  空者无有起,  思想无有界,  已见非我法,  则为佛之子。  是法为非吾,  亦不可得我,  已无吾我者,  于何复有喜?”   佛说是偈已,应时彼亿那术百千人闻法者,心悉断一切尘劳,生死已尽得阿罗汉证,便放身命般泥洹:“我等不忍见世尊般泥洹时。”   现诸佛品第六   尔时佛于梵天忽然不现,即住双树间。佛心念言:“今日夜半如来于是当般泥洹。人民最后见佛终竟,我聊复令众庶欢悦,得安隐想断诸秽毒,令念如来作大善本想,离大众恼得无极庆,发大慈大悲弃诸魔事,怀来诸佛法,皆除裂诸见网、悉灭诸尘劳、悉舍诸谀谄、悉捐诸大见,来诸 现代汉语译本 以无碍法眼(能洞察一切法的智慧之眼)、以无碍慧眼(能洞察真理的智慧之眼)、以无碍天眼(能洞察天界的智慧之眼)、以无碍肉眼(能洞察物质世界的智慧之眼),以大慈大悲之心。运用一切佛法无上的功德,运用一切如来觉悟的法。对于那八亿那术(数量单位,表示极大的数目)百千有情众生,都蒙受五百万亿那术种光音的照耀,消除一切勤劳的痛苦,都得到安稳,脱离那些合会(众生聚集之处)、大合会(更大的众生聚集之处)、不可意地狱(令人不悦的地狱),得以转生到波罗尼蜜和耶越天(他化自在天),听闻此法后,专心致志地证得阿那含道(不还果)。于是,佛便安住在梵天,说偈颂道: ‘诸人无勤苦,  则为第一安, 为说勤苦应,  诸想无有念。 一切无所想,  如于此所说, 在三界岂安?  数数有生死。 其有解空空,  彼空乃为空, 其说深缚者,  彼能解于空。 空者无有起,  思想无有界, 已见非我法,  则为佛之子。 是法为非吾,  亦不可得我, 已无吾我者,  于何复有喜?’ 佛说完这偈颂后,当时那亿那术百千听闻佛法的人,心中都断除了一切尘劳(烦恼),生死已经终结,证得了阿罗汉果位,便舍弃身命,入于般泥洹(涅槃):‘我们不忍心见到世尊入般泥洹的时候。’ 现诸佛品第六 这时,佛在梵天忽然消失不见,随即安住在双树之间。佛心中想道:‘今天夜半如来将在这里入般泥洹。人民最后一次见到佛的终结,我姑且再让众生欢喜,得到安稳的想法,断除一切污秽的毒素,让他们忆念如来,作为修习大善的根本,远离大众的烦恼,得到无上的庆幸,发起大慈大悲之心,舍弃一切魔事,怀抱诸佛的法,都消除破裂的见网、全部灭除一切尘劳、全部舍弃一切谄媚、全部抛弃一切大见,来到诸佛的法中。

English version With unobstructed Dharma Eye (the wisdom eye that can see through all dharmas), with unobstructed Wisdom Eye (the wisdom eye that can see through the truth), with unobstructed Heavenly Eye (the wisdom eye that can see through the heavens), with unobstructed Physical Eye (the wisdom eye that can see through the material world), and with great compassion and great pity. Using all the supreme virtues of all Buddha's teachings, using all the awakened dharmas of all Tathagatas. To those eight hundred million nayutas (a unit of large number) of hundreds of thousands of sentient beings, all were illuminated by five million billion nayutas of light and sound, eliminating all the toilsome sufferings, all attained peace and tranquility, escaping from those assemblies (places where beings gather), great assemblies (larger places where beings gather), and unpleasant hells, and were reborn in Paranirmita Vasavartin Heaven (the heaven of the gods who delight in the creations of others), having heard this Dharma, they focused their minds and attained the Anagamin path (the non-returner stage). Then, the Buddha resided in the Brahma Heaven and spoke this verse: 'Those who have no toil and suffering, are in the first peace, To speak of toil and suffering is appropriate, all thoughts have no remembrance. All have no thoughts, as it is said here, In the three realms, how can there be peace? Again and again there is birth and death. Those who understand emptiness as emptiness, that emptiness is indeed emptiness, Those who speak of deep bondage, they can understand emptiness. Emptiness has no arising, thoughts have no boundaries, Having seen the non-self dharma, they are the children of the Buddha. This dharma is not mine, nor can I be obtained, Having no self or mine, what joy is there?' After the Buddha finished speaking this verse, at that time, those billions of nayutas of hundreds of thousands of people who heard the Dharma, in their hearts, all cut off all defilements (afflictions), birth and death had ended, they attained the Arhatship, and then they gave up their lives and entered Parinirvana (Nirvana): 'We cannot bear to see the World Honored One enter Parinirvana.' Chapter Six: Manifestation of All Buddhas At this time, the Buddha suddenly disappeared from the Brahma Heaven and immediately resided between the twin Sala trees. The Buddha thought in his heart: 'Tonight at midnight, the Tathagata will enter Parinirvana here. The people will see the final end of the Buddha, I will temporarily make the masses rejoice, obtain peaceful thoughts, cut off all the defiled poisons, let them remember the Tathagata, as the root of cultivating great good, be free from the troubles of the masses, obtain boundless joy, generate great compassion and great pity, abandon all demonic affairs, embrace the dharmas of all Buddhas, all eliminate the broken nets of views, completely extinguish all defilements, completely abandon all flattery, completely discard all great views, and come to the dharmas of all Buddhas.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

度无极,叹咏菩萨之行,现诸如来令一切目见,作大变化说于佛法。”   于是世尊于师子床上右胁倚卧,如师子无恐惧。大尊雄周观十方,以足指案地六反震动十方境界。佛即如其像三昧正受,一一毛孔出恒边沙等数之光明,一一光明照恒沙等佛国,一一光明终不相错。以是之数一切诸毛孔各各放恒边沙数之光明,放已即如其像三昧正受,令一切人眼还得佛眼,皆见诸佛国土所有。尔时佛告诸比丘言:“汝等宁见东方纵广上下各十万由旬满其中尘,东方诸佛其数如此尘一尘为一佛,皆右胁倚卧。所见变化亦如是,一切诸佛其所教度皆已周毕,悉入力士生地双树间,皆名为释迦文,一切皆于师子床上卧,皆当于今日夜半般泥洹。汝等宁见东方不可计不可数不可思议无有量诸菩萨行具足往诣佛树下,宁复见无央数得佛道者不?宁复见余无央数转法轮者不?复见余无央数说法者不?复见无有量放寿命者不?复见无有限右胁倚卧于师子床上如我卧者不?”众会对曰:“已见,不知其数。”佛言:“譬如三千大千世界,上至三十三天下尽地际,满其中尘。于汝等意云何?宁能有知是尘数者不?”“唯天中天!不可计不可量不可称不可数。”佛言:“譬如是三千大千世界,更有如是比亿百千三千大千世界满其中尘,有如此尘 现代汉语译本 ‘度无极’,赞叹菩萨的修行,显现诸如来(Tathagata,佛的称号)让一切众生亲眼看见,施展大神通演说佛法。 这时,世尊在狮子座上右胁而卧,如狮子般无所畏惧。大雄(Mahavira,佛的称号)环顾十方,用脚趾按地六次,震动十方世界。佛即刻进入如其像三昧(Samadhi,禅定的一种),每一个毛孔都放出如恒河沙数般的光明,每一道光明都照耀如恒河沙数般的佛国,每一道光明都不会互相混淆。以这样的数量,一切毛孔各自放出如恒河沙数般的光明,放出后即刻进入如其像三昧,使一切人眼都获得佛眼,都能看见诸佛国土的一切景象。这时,佛告诉众比丘(Bhikkhu,佛教出家男众)说:‘你们是否看见东方纵横上下各十万由旬(Yojana,古印度长度单位)的区域,其中充满尘埃,东方诸佛的数量如同这些尘埃,一粒尘埃代表一尊佛,都右胁而卧。所见的神通变化也如此,一切诸佛所教化度脱的众生都已经圆满,都进入力士生地双树之间,都名为释迦文(Sakyamuni,佛的称号),一切都卧在狮子座上,都将在今日夜半入般涅槃(Parinirvana,佛的最终寂灭)。你们是否看见东方不可计数、不可思议、无有量诸菩萨(Bodhisattva,发愿成佛的修行者)修行圆满前往菩提树下,是否看见无数得佛道者?是否看见无数转法轮(Dharmacakra,佛陀的教法)者?是否看见无数说法者?是否看见无数舍弃寿命者?是否看见无数像我一样右胁卧于狮子座上者?’大众回答说:‘已经看见,无法知道其数量。’佛说:‘譬如三千大千世界(Trisahasra-Mahasahasra-lokadhatu,佛教宇宙观中的一个宇宙单位),上至三十三天(Trayastrimsa,欲界六天之一)下至地际,其中充满尘埃。你们认为如何?是否有人能知道这些尘埃的数量?’‘唯有天中天(Devatideva,佛的称号)!不可计数、不可衡量、不可称量、不可数。’佛说:‘譬如这个三千大千世界,更有如亿百千个三千大千世界,其中充满尘埃,有如此多的尘埃

English version 'Limitless in crossing over,' praising the practice of Bodhisattvas, manifesting all Tathagatas (Buddha's title) for all to see, performing great transformations and expounding the Dharma. Then, the World Honored One reclined on his right side on the lion throne, fearless as a lion. The Great Hero (Mahavira, Buddha's title) looked around in all ten directions, and with his toe pressed the ground six times, shaking the realms of the ten directions. The Buddha immediately entered the Samadhi (a state of meditative consciousness) of his likeness, and from each pore of his body emitted light as numerous as the sands of the Ganges River. Each ray of light illuminated Buddha lands as numerous as the sands of the Ganges, and each ray of light did not interfere with another. With this number, each pore emitted light as numerous as the sands of the Ganges, and after emitting the light, immediately entered the Samadhi of his likeness, enabling all people's eyes to gain the Buddha's eye, and all could see everything in the Buddha lands. At that time, the Buddha told the Bhikkhus (Buddhist monks): 'Do you see the east, extending ten thousand yojanas (an ancient Indian unit of distance) in length, width, up and down, filled with dust? The Buddhas in the east are as numerous as these dust particles, each dust particle representing a Buddha, all reclining on their right sides. The transformations you see are also like this. All the beings that all the Buddhas have taught and liberated have been completed, and all have entered the twin Sala trees in the place of the strong man's birth, all are named Sakyamuni (Buddha's title), all are lying on the lion throne, and all will enter Parinirvana (Buddha's final passing away) tonight at midnight. Do you see the immeasurable, countless, inconceivable, and limitless Bodhisattvas (those who aspire to Buddhahood) in the east, who have completed their practices and are going to the Bodhi tree? Do you see countless beings who have attained Buddhahood? Do you see countless beings who are turning the Dharma wheel (Buddha's teachings)? Do you see countless beings who are expounding the Dharma? Do you see countless beings who are relinquishing their lifespans? Do you see countless beings who are reclining on their right sides on the lion throne like I am?' The assembly replied: 'We have seen them, but we do not know their number.' The Buddha said: 'For example, the three thousand great thousand world system (a unit of the Buddhist cosmology), from the highest heaven of the thirty-three (one of the six heavens of the desire realm) down to the edge of the earth, is filled with dust. What do you think? Is there anyone who can know the number of these dust particles?' 'Only the Deva of Devas (Buddha's title)! It is immeasurable, uncountable, incalculable, and beyond number.' The Buddha said: 'For example, this three thousand great thousand world system, there are more like a hundred million three thousand great thousand world systems, filled with dust, and there are as many dust particles as that.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
