English version: Counting the Buddha lands in the east, the number of Bodhisattvas named Sakyamuni (释迦文), who came under the Bodhi tree and attained Buddhahood, is also like that; the number of those who turned the Dharma wheel (法轮) is also like that; the number of those who taught the Dharma is also like that; the number of those who gave up their lives is also like that; the number of those who lie on their right side like me is also like that; the number of those who entered Parinirvana (般泥洹) without remaining in the realm of Nirvana (泥洹) is also like that. They are all named Sakyamuni. Their mothers are named Maya (摩耶), their fathers are named Suddhodana (悦头檀), their countries are named Kapilavastu (迦维罗卫), and their ages are named the Saha world (忍界). Sariputra (舍利弗), Maha Maudgalyayana (摩诃目犍连), and the venerable Ananda (阿难) are their attendants. Just like in the east, it is the same in the other nine directions, all are named Sakyamuni. Like the number of Sakyamunis, the number of Buddhas named Dipankara (提桓竭) is also like that, the number of Buddhas named Ratnagarbha (提名多罗) is also like that, the number of Buddhas named Vipasyin (维卫) is also like that, the number of Buddhas named Sikhin (式) is also like that, the number of Buddhas named Visvabhu (随叶) is also like that, the number of Buddhas named Krakucchanda (拘楼秦) is also like that, the number of Buddhas named Kanakamuni (拘那含) is also like that, and the number of Buddhas named Kasyapa (迦叶) is also like that. These Buddhas, the gods among gods, with such soft and subtle names, emit soft voices, all with the same name, Sakyamuni. The Tathagatas, with their complete physical eyes, cannot fully describe what they have seen, their vision is vast and boundless. Those who practice at home, or those who leave home to study the Way, if they can cause all the Bodhisattvas in one Buddha land to become Buddhas, and for one kalpa (劫) offer to the names of these Buddhas. Furthermore, if someone hears this sutra that speaks of the Buddhas, and in a moment of hearing, generates joy and faith, it is superior to all the people in the three thousand great thousand worlds receiving the joint offerings of the Buddhas. All Bodhisattvas have already understood with such wisdom, and quickly approach the unsurpassed, true, and right path (Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi). When this sutra was being spoken, sixty-two billion Bodhisattvas attained the rare and complete Dharma, thus attaining the protection of inconceivable thoughts, without regression, and established themselves on the unsurpassed, true, and right path. Ten Nayuta (那术) Bodhisattvas initially generated the mind for the great path, established themselves on the ground of non-regression, and attained the unsurpassed, true, and right path. Thirty-two billion Bodhisattvas attained the forbearance of non-arising of dharmas (anutpattika-dharma-ksanti). As many people as the sands of the Ganges River severed all defilements, extinguished birth and death, and attained the fruit of enlightenment. Countless people will meet with Maitreya (弥勒) in the future. At that time, Mara (弊魔), with a heart full of poisonous hatred, shed tears and said to the Buddha, 'World Honored One!' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

我本愿欲使如来早般泥洹，欲令人民不出我界。如来、无著、等正觉所度遂益多。若住其寿命令至一劫，所度之数不能复过今日之所度也。今天中天已空我界。”于是佛以手两指取地土用着爪上，告弊魔言：“于汝意云何？如来爪上土多？大地土多？”魔白佛言：“如来爪上土少，大地土多不可计也。”佛言：“波旬！我之所度立于无为，其数如爪上之土。其从汝之教者，复多于大地土，汝当欢喜怡怿。人之种如是，不可尽无有数。”佛告波旬：“汝欲求人种如求空。于是波旬！卿所当作者便为之。今日夜半如来当般泥洹。” 尔时佛告诸比丘：“置是诸佛世尊之数，置是诸佛世尊国土所有快乐，置是诸菩萨之兴盛。”对曰：“唯然天中天！悉在耳。”佛告阿难：“若我从一劫至那术劫，作譬合会挍计说譬喻法、讲义说诸佛，无有竟时不可竟也。无央数诸佛天中天现在者如是，如来皆以具足肉眼见，复过是，所见不可限。”于是佛告诸比丘：“如来为一切所当为者，以度一切矣。无有不度之想名如毛发。所以者何？故告汝等。”尔时佛即如其像三昧现神足，令是诸佛世尊所说经悉使此刹人闻，闻是法者恒沙等人立于三乘，十亿百千人得无上正真道，十亿千人立缘觉道，其余者皆放身命。 佛国净品第七 现代汉语译本：我本来的愿望是想让如来早点进入涅槃（泥洹，佛教用语，指脱离生死轮回的境界），想让人们不出我的境界。如来、无著（指没有执着）、等正觉（指佛的觉悟）所度化的人已经足够多了。如果住世的寿命延长到一劫（佛教时间单位，指非常长的时间），所度化的人数也不会超过今天所度化的。今天，天中天（指佛）已经清空了我的境界。”于是，佛用两根手指取了地上的土，放在指甲上，告诉弊魔（指魔王）说：“你觉得怎么样？如来指甲上的土多，还是大地上的土多？”魔回答佛说：“如来指甲上的土少，大地上的土多得不可计数。”佛说：“波旬（魔王的名字）！我所度化的人，他们立于无为（指不执着于任何事物），其数量就像指甲上的土一样。而那些听从你教导的人，比大地上的土还要多，你应该感到高兴。人的种类就是这样，不可能完全没有数量。”佛告诉波旬：“你想要寻找人种，就像在寻找虚空一样。所以，波旬！你该做的就去做吧。今天半夜，如来将进入涅槃。” 那时，佛告诉众比丘（佛教出家修行者）说：“先放下那些诸佛世尊的数量，放下那些诸佛世尊国土所有的快乐，放下那些菩萨的兴盛。”众比丘回答说：“是的，天中天！我们都听着呢。”佛告诉阿难（佛的十大弟子之一）说：“如果我从一劫到那术劫（佛教时间单位，指极长的时间），用譬喻来讲述佛法，讲述诸佛，也没有结束的时候，不可能讲完。无数的诸佛天中天现在就是这样，如来都用具足的肉眼看见了，而且看到的比这还要多，所见是无法限制的。”于是，佛告诉众比丘说：“如来为一切所应该做的，都已经做完了，已经度化了一切。没有一个没有被度化的想法，就像毛发一样微不足道。之所以这样说，是特意告诉你们。”那时，佛立即像他所显现的那样，进入三昧（佛教禅定），展现神足（指神通），让那些诸佛世尊所说的经典，都让这个刹土（指佛所教化的世界）的人听到，听到这些佛法的人，像恒河沙数一样多的人，都立于三乘（指声闻乘、缘觉乘、菩萨乘），十亿百千人得到了无上正真道（指佛的觉悟），十亿千人立于缘觉道，其余的人都放弃了生命。 佛国净品第七

English version: 'My original wish was to have the Tathagata (如来, one of the titles of Buddha) enter Nirvana (泥洹, the Buddhist term for the state of liberation from the cycle of birth and death) sooner, and to keep people from leaving my realm. The Tathagata, the Unattached (无著, referring to non-attachment), the Perfectly Enlightened One (等正觉, referring to the Buddha's enlightenment) have already converted enough beings. Even if his lifespan were to extend to a kalpa (劫, a Buddhist unit of time, referring to a very long period), the number of beings converted would not exceed what has been converted today. Today, the Lord of the World (天中天, referring to the Buddha) has emptied my realm.' Then, the Buddha took some earth with two fingers and placed it on his fingernail, and said to Mara (弊魔, referring to the demon king), 'What do you think? Is the earth on the Tathagata's fingernail more, or is the earth on the ground more?' Mara replied to the Buddha, 'The earth on the Tathagata's fingernail is less, the earth on the ground is countless.' The Buddha said, 'Mara (波旬, the name of the demon king)! Those I have converted, who stand in non-action (无为, referring to non-attachment to anything), are like the earth on my fingernail. And those who follow your teachings are more numerous than the earth on the ground, you should be happy. The nature of beings is such, it is impossible for them to be completely without number.' The Buddha told Mara, 'Your desire to seek beings is like seeking emptiness. Therefore, Mara! Do what you must do. Tonight at midnight, the Tathagata will enter Nirvana.' At that time, the Buddha said to the Bhikkhus (比丘, Buddhist monks), 'Set aside the number of all the Buddhas, set aside the happiness of all the Buddhas' lands, set aside the flourishing of all the Bodhisattvas.' The Bhikkhus replied, 'Yes, Lord of the World! We are all listening.' The Buddha said to Ananda (阿难, one of the Buddha's ten great disciples), 'If I were to use parables to explain the Dharma (佛法, Buddhist teachings), to speak of all the Buddhas, from one kalpa to a nayuta kalpa (那术劫, a Buddhist unit of time, referring to an extremely long period), there would be no end, it would be impossible to finish. Countless Buddhas, Lords of the World, are like this now, the Tathagata has seen them all with his complete physical eyes, and what he has seen is even more than that, what he has seen is limitless.' Then, the Buddha said to the Bhikkhus, 'The Tathagata has done all that should be done, has converted all. There is not a single thought of not having converted, as insignificant as a hair. The reason for saying this is to specifically tell you.' At that time, the Buddha immediately entered Samadhi (三昧, Buddhist meditation) as he appeared, displayed his supernatural powers (神足, referring to supernatural abilities), and caused the scriptures spoken by all the Buddhas to be heard by the people of this realm (刹土, referring to the world where the Buddha teaches), those who heard these teachings, as numerous as the sands of the Ganges, all stood in the Three Vehicles (三乘, referring to the Sravaka Vehicle, Pratyekabuddha Vehicle, and Bodhisattva Vehicle), ten billion hundred thousand people attained Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi (无上正真道, referring to the Buddha's enlightenment), ten billion thousand people stood in the Pratyekabuddha Vehicle, and the rest all gave up their lives.
