尔时，世尊说此偈已，摩诃摩耶小自安慰，颜色渐悦如莲花敷。 于时阿难见佛起已，又闻说偈，垂泪呜咽强自抑忍，即便合掌而白佛言：“后世众生必当问我：‘世尊临欲般涅槃时复何所说？’云何答之？” 佛告阿难：“汝当答言：‘世尊已入般涅槃后，摩诃摩耶从天来下至金棺所。尔时，如来为后不孝诸众生故，从金棺出——如师子王奋迅之势——身毛孔中放千光明，一一光明有千化佛，悉皆合掌向摩诃摩耶，并又说于如上诸偈。’” 阿难又言：“当何名此经？云何奉持？” 佛告阿难：“我于昔日忉利天上为母说法及摩诃摩耶夫人自有所说，今复在此母子相见。汝可为后世诸众生辈次第演说此经，名曰摩诃摩耶经，亦名佛升忉利天为母说法经，又名佛临涅槃母子相见经，如是奉持。” 尔时，世尊说此语已，与母辞别，而说偈言： “我生分已尽， 梵行久已立， 所作皆已办， 不受于后有。 愿母自 现代汉语译本 在所有女子中，玉女宝（指最珍贵的女子）最为殊胜。 如今我的母亲，超越一切，无与伦比， 她能生出三世（过去、现在、未来）的佛、法、僧三宝。 因此我从棺木中起身，合掌欢喜赞叹， 用以报答母亲的生育之恩，表达我对母亲的孝顺和爱恋之情。 诸佛虽然已经灭度，但法宝和僧宝却常住世间， 愿母亲不要忧愁，仔细观察这无上的修行之道。” 这时，世尊说完这首偈颂后，摩诃摩耶（佛陀的母亲）稍微感到安慰，脸色渐渐变得喜悦，如同莲花盛开。 当时，阿难看到佛陀起身，又听到佛陀所说的偈颂，不禁流泪呜咽，强忍悲伤，随即合掌向佛陀说道：‘后世的众生一定会问我：“世尊临近般涅槃时还说了些什么？”我该如何回答呢？’ 佛陀告诉阿难：‘你应当回答说：“世尊已经入般涅槃后，摩诃摩耶从天而降，来到金棺之处。那时，如来为了后世不孝顺的众生，从金棺中出来——如同狮子王奋迅之势——从身上的毛孔中放出千道光明，每一道光明中都有一千尊化佛，他们都合掌面向摩诃摩耶，并且说了如上那些偈颂。”’ 阿难又问：‘这部经应当叫什么名字？应当如何奉持？’ 佛陀告诉阿难：‘我过去在忉利天（欲界六天之一）上为母亲说法，以及摩诃摩耶夫人自己所说的话，现在又在这里母子相见。你可以为后世的众生依次演说这部经，这部经名为《摩诃摩耶经》，也名为《佛升忉利天为母说法经》，又名为《佛临涅槃母子相见经》，应当这样奉持。’ 这时，世尊说完这些话后，与母亲告别，并说了偈颂： ‘我此生的因缘已经尽了，清净的修行早已建立， 该做的事情都已经做完，不再受后世的轮回。 愿母亲自己保重，不要忧愁。’

English version Among all women, the jade maiden treasure (referring to the most precious woman) is the most supreme. Now, my mother surpasses all, incomparable, She is able to give birth to the three jewels of the three ages (past, present, and future): the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha. Therefore, I rise from the coffin, joining my palms in joyful praise, To repay my mother's kindness in giving birth to me, expressing my filial piety and love for her. Although all Buddhas have passed into Nirvana, the Dharma and Sangha treasures remain in the world, May my mother not grieve, and carefully observe this supreme path of practice.” At that time, after the World Honored One finished reciting this verse, Mahamaya (Buddha's mother) felt slightly comforted, and her countenance gradually became joyful, like a lotus flower in full bloom. At that time, Ananda, seeing the Buddha rise and hearing the verse spoken by the Buddha, could not help but weep and sob, suppressing his grief, and immediately joined his palms and said to the Buddha: 'Future beings will surely ask me: “What did the World Honored One say when he was about to enter Parinirvana?” How should I answer?' The Buddha told Ananda: 'You should answer: “After the World Honored One had entered Parinirvana, Mahamaya descended from the heavens to the place of the golden coffin. At that time, the Tathagata, for the sake of the unfilial beings of the future, came out of the golden coffin—like the vigorous power of a lion king—emitting a thousand rays of light from the pores of his body, and in each ray of light there were a thousand manifested Buddhas, all of whom joined their palms facing Mahamaya, and recited the verses as mentioned above.”’ Ananda then asked: 'What should this sutra be called? How should it be upheld?' The Buddha told Ananda: 'In the past, I preached the Dharma for my mother in the Trayastrimsa Heaven (one of the six heavens of the desire realm), and what Mahamaya herself said, and now we meet again as mother and son. You can explain this sutra to future beings in order, this sutra is called the “Mahamaya Sutra,” also called the “Sutra of the Buddha Ascending to the Trayastrimsa Heaven to Preach the Dharma for His Mother,” and also called the “Sutra of the Buddha Meeting His Mother at the Time of Parinirvana,” and it should be upheld in this way.’ At this time, after the World Honored One finished speaking these words, he bid farewell to his mother and spoke a verse: 'The conditions of my life are exhausted, the pure practice has long been established, All that needed to be done has been completed, and I will no longer be subject to future rebirths. May my mother take care of herself and not grieve.' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 安慰， 不须苦、忧、恼。 一切行无常， 住是生灭法， 生灭既灭已， 寂灭为最乐。”

尔时，世尊说此语已即便阖棺。三千大千世界普皆震动，摩诃摩耶及众八部悲泣懊恼不能自胜。 摩诃摩耶问阿难言：“我子悉达临灭度时有何教敕？” 阿难白言：“世尊中夜为诸比丘略说教诫，又以所说十二部经付嘱尊者摩诃迦叶，亦复敕我令助宣布。” 时摩诃摩耶闻此语已又增感绝，即问阿难：“汝于往昔侍佛以来，闻世尊说如来正法几时当灭？” 阿难垂泪而便答言：“我于往昔曾闻世尊说于当来法灭之后事云：佛涅槃后，摩诃迦叶共阿难结集法藏。事悉毕已，摩诃迦叶于狼迹山中入灭尽定，我亦当得果证，次第随后入般涅槃，当以正法付优婆掬多——善说法要如富楼那——广说度人，又复劝化阿输迦王，令于佛法得坚固正信，以佛舍利广起八万四千诸塔。二百岁已，尸罗难陀比丘善说法要，于阎浮提度十二亿人。三百岁已，青莲花眼比丘善说法要，度半亿人。四百岁已，牛口比丘善说法要，度一万人。五百岁已，宝天比丘善说法要，度二万人，八部众生发阿耨多罗三藐三菩提心，正法于此便就灭尽。 “六百岁已，九十六种诸外道等邪见竞兴，破灭佛法。有一 安慰你们，不必感到痛苦、忧愁、烦恼。 一切事物都是无常的，存在即是生灭的法则。 当生灭都止息时，寂灭才是最快乐的境界。 这时，世尊说完这些话就闭上了棺木。三千大千世界都震动起来，摩诃摩耶（佛母）和众八部（天龙八部）都悲伤哭泣，无法自持。 摩诃摩耶问阿难说：‘我的儿子悉达多（佛陀）在临近涅槃时有什么教诲？’ 阿难回答说：‘世尊在半夜为众比丘简略地说了教诫，又将所说的十二部经嘱托给尊者摩诃迦叶（佛陀十大弟子之一），也嘱咐我协助宣扬。’ 当时，摩诃摩耶听到这些话后更加悲伤，又问阿难：‘你从过去侍奉佛陀以来，听世尊说过如来正法会在什么时候灭亡吗？’ 阿难流着眼泪回答说：‘我过去曾听世尊说过未来法灭之后的事情：佛陀涅槃后，摩诃迦叶和阿难会结集法藏。事情结束后，摩诃迦叶会在狼迹山中进入灭尽定，我也将证得果位，随后入般涅槃，将正法嘱托给优婆掬多（佛陀弟子）——他善于说法，如同富楼那（佛陀十大弟子之一）——广泛地教化度人，又劝化阿输迦王（印度孔雀王朝国王），使他对佛法产生坚固的正信，用佛陀的舍利广建八万四千座佛塔。二百年后，尸罗难陀比丘善于说法，在阎浮提（我们所居住的世界）度化十二亿人。三百年后，青莲花眼比丘善于说法，度化半亿人。四百年后，牛口比丘善于说法，度化一万人。五百年后，宝天比丘善于说法，度化二万人，八部众生发起了阿耨多罗三藐三菩提心（无上正等正觉之心），正法到这时就逐渐灭尽。 ‘六百年后，九十六种外道等邪见兴起，破坏佛法。有一位’

Be comforted, there is no need for suffering, worry, or distress. All phenomena are impermanent; existence is the law of arising and ceasing. When arising and ceasing both cease, then tranquility is the greatest joy. At that time, after the World Honored One spoke these words, he closed the coffin. The three thousand great thousand worlds all shook, and Mahamaya (Buddha's mother) and the eight classes of beings (Devas, Nagas, etc.) wept with grief, unable to control themselves. Mahamaya asked Ananda, 'What were the teachings of my son Siddhartha (Buddha) when he was about to enter Nirvana?' Ananda replied, 'In the middle of the night, the World Honored One briefly gave instructions to the monks, and entrusted the twelve divisions of scriptures to the Venerable Mahakasyapa (one of the Buddha's ten great disciples), and also instructed me to assist in propagating them.' At that time, Mahamaya, upon hearing these words, was even more grief-stricken, and asked Ananda, 'Since you have been serving the Buddha in the past, have you heard the World Honored One say when the Tathagata's (Buddha's) true Dharma will perish?' Ananda, with tears in his eyes, replied, 'In the past, I heard the World Honored One speak about the events after the Dharma's extinction in the future: After the Buddha's Nirvana, Mahakasyapa and Ananda will compile the Dharma treasury. After this is completed, Mahakasyapa will enter the Samadhi of Cessation in Wolf Foot Mountain, and I will also attain the fruit of enlightenment, and subsequently enter Parinirvana, entrusting the true Dharma to Upagupta (a disciple of the Buddha) - who is skilled in teaching the Dharma, like Purna (one of the Buddha's ten great disciples) - to widely teach and liberate beings, and also to persuade King Ashoka (King of the Mauryan Dynasty in India) to have firm faith in the Buddha's Dharma, and to build eighty-four thousand stupas with the Buddha's relics. Two hundred years later, the monk Silaranda will be skilled in teaching the Dharma, and will liberate twelve billion people in Jambudvipa (the world we live in). Three hundred years later, the monk Blue Lotus Eye will be skilled in teaching the Dharma, and will liberate half a billion people. Four hundred years later, the monk Ox Mouth will be skilled in teaching the Dharma, and will liberate ten thousand people. Five hundred years later, the monk Treasure Heaven will be skilled in teaching the Dharma, and will liberate twenty thousand people, and the eight classes of beings will generate the mind of Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi (the mind of unsurpassed perfect enlightenment), and the true Dharma will gradually come to an end at this point. 'Six hundred years later, ninety-six kinds of heretical views will arise, destroying the Buddha's Dharma.

比丘名曰马鸣，善说法要，降伏一切诸外道辈。七百岁已，有一比丘名曰龙树，善说法要，灭邪见幢，然正法炬。八百岁后，诸比丘等乐好衣服，纵逸嬉戏，百千人中或有一两得道果者。九百岁已，奴为比丘、婢为比丘尼。一千岁已，诸比丘等闻不净观、阿那波那，瞋恚不欲，无量比丘若一、若两思惟正受。 “千一百岁已，诸比丘等如世俗人嫁娶行媒，于大众中毁谤毗尼。千二百岁已，是诸比丘及比丘尼作非梵行，若有子息，男为比丘、女为比丘尼。千三百岁已，袈裟变白不受染色。千四百岁已，时诸四众犹如猎师，好乐杀生、卖三宝物。千五百岁，俱睒弥国有三藏比丘善说法要，徒众五百；又一罗汉比丘善持戒行，徒众五百。于十五日布萨之时，罗汉比丘升于高座说清净法，云此所应作、此不应作。彼三藏比丘弟子答罗汉言：‘汝今身、口自不清净，云何而反说是粗言？’罗汉答言：‘我久清净身、口、意业，无诸过恶。’三藏弟子闻此语已倍更恚忿，即于座上杀彼罗汉。时罗汉弟子而作是言：‘我师所说合于法理，云何汝等害我和上？’即以利刀杀彼三藏。天龙八部莫不忧恼，恶魔波旬及外道众踊跃欢喜，竞破塔寺、杀害比丘。一切经藏皆悉流移至鸠尸那竭国，阿耨达龙王悉持入海，于是佛法而灭尽也。 现代汉语译本：有一位名叫马鸣的比丘，善于宣说佛法要义，降伏一切外道之辈。七百年后，有一位名叫龙树的比丘，善于宣说佛法要义，摧毁邪见之幢，点燃正法之炬。八百年后，众比丘喜欢华丽的衣服，放纵嬉戏，成百上千人中或许只有一两个人能证得道果。九百年后，奴仆成为比丘，婢女成为比丘尼。一千年后，众比丘听到不净观（观察身体不洁净的修行方法）和阿那波那（通过呼吸来集中注意力的修行方法）时，会嗔怒不悦，无数比丘中只有一两个会思维正受（正确的禅定状态）。 一千一百年后，众比丘像世俗人一样嫁娶，充当媒人，在大众中诽谤戒律。一千二百年后，这些比丘和比丘尼会做不符合清净修行的事情，如果有了孩子，男孩就做比丘，女孩就做比丘尼。一千三百年后，袈裟会变成白色，不再接受染色。一千四百年后，当时的四众弟子（比丘、比丘尼、优婆塞、优婆夷）就像猎人一样，喜欢杀生，贩卖三宝之物。一千五百年时，俱睒弥国（古印度地名）有一位精通三藏的比丘，善于宣说佛法要义，有五百名弟子；还有一位罗汉比丘，善于持守戒律，也有五百名弟子。在十五日布萨（佛教僧团每半月举行的集会）时，罗汉比丘登上高座宣说清净之法，说哪些应该做，哪些不应该做。那位三藏比丘的弟子回答罗汉说：‘你现在身口都不清净，怎么反而说这些粗俗的话？’罗汉回答说：‘我身口意业早已清净，没有任何过错。’三藏弟子听到这话更加愤怒，就在座上杀死了那位罗汉。当时罗汉的弟子就说：‘我师父所说符合法理，你们怎么能杀害我的和尚？’随即用利刀杀死了那位三藏。天龙八部（佛教中的护法神）无不忧愁恼怒，恶魔波旬（佛教中的魔王）和外道之众则欢喜雀跃，竞相破坏佛塔寺庙，杀害比丘。一切经藏都流散到鸠尸那竭国（古印度地名），阿耨达龙王（佛教传说中的龙王）将它们全部带入海中，于是佛法就灭尽了。
