English version: ‘O Devas, listen carefully! Due to karmic conditions, in the country of Paelianduo, for four months, (the Buddha) again used this bowl to receive horse-barley food. O Devas, listen carefully! Shakyamuni Tathagata (Shijia Rulai, the Buddha's title), out of great compassion, again used this bowl to receive food from the lowest and poorest people. O Devas, listen carefully! Shakyamuni Tathagata again used this bowl in the palace of the Naga King Sagara (Suojialuo Longwang, name of a Naga King) to receive various foods. O Devas, listen carefully! Shakyamuni Tathagata, during the four months of summer, again used this bowl to receive food from us (the Devas). O Devas, listen carefully! Shakyamuni Tathagata again used this bowl to cover the youngest son of the Hariti demoness (Heligui Mu, name of a demoness), whose name was Biliyanjialuo Yaksha (Biliyanjialuo Yasha, name of a Yaksha), because he had an evil mind and often ate human blood, so (the Buddha) subdued him.’ At that time, the Buddha's mother, Maya (Moye Furen, the Buddha's mother), held the bowl in her hands and spoke a verse: ‘Following the Buddha's will to receive, all enter into this bowl; the Buddha was in my womb, fulfilling ten months.’ ‘At that time, the King of Devas, Indra (Dishi Tianwang, name of a Deva), for seven days and seven nights, with various heavenly flowers, heavenly incense, and heavenly sandalwood incense, made great offerings, worshiped, and circumambulated to the right. After making these offerings, at that time, among the Devas, some generated the mind of Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi (Wushang Puti Xin, the mind seeking supreme enlightenment), some generated the mind of a Sravaka (Shengwen Xin, the mind seeking to become an Arhat), and some generated the mind of a Pratyekabuddha (Pizhi Fo Xin, the mind seeking to become a solitary Buddha). At that time, the King of Devas held the bowl in his hands and spoke a verse: ‘Now this extraordinary bowl can increase the wisdom of sentient beings; the Buddha's body is also like this, accomplishing all merits.’ The Buddha said to Ananda (Anan, the Buddha's disciple): ‘Like my bowl, after seven days, it will disappear in the Trayastrimsa Heaven (Sanshisan Tian, name of a heaven) and appear in the Yama Heaven (Yanmo Tian, name of a heaven). At that time, the Lord of the Yama Heaven, upon seeing the Buddha's bowl, for seven days and seven nights, made various offerings with heavenly Mandara flowers, heavenly sandalwood incense, various flowers, and various music, worshiped the Buddha's bowl, and circumambulated to the right. At this time, among the Devas, some generated the mind of Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi, some generated the mind of a Sravaka, and some generated the mind of a Pratyekabuddha. At that time, the Lord of the Yama Heaven held the bowl in his hands and spoke a verse: ‘Billions of sentient beings, upon seeing this bowl, all rejoice, it can produce superior and wonderful results, Muni (Muni, the Buddha's title) caused it to come here.’ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ”

English version The Buddha said to Ananda, 'After my bowl has passed seven days, it will disappear from the Yama Heaven (the third heaven of the desire realm) and appear in the Tushita Heaven (the fourth heaven of the desire realm). At that time, the Tushita Heaven King, upon seeing the Buddha's bowl, will for seven days and seven nights make great offerings, prostrations, and circumambulations, using heavenly Mandara flowers, Mahamandara flowers, and various other exquisite flowers, various fragrances, and various music. He will hold the bowl in his hands and speak this verse:' 'For all beings, high, middle, and low, the Buddha has arisen with a heart of compassion; having received this bowl, the Buddha has caused it to come here.' The Buddha said to Ananda, 'After my bowl has passed seven days, it will disappear from the Tushita Heaven and appear in the Nirmanarati Heaven (the fifth heaven of the desire realm). At that time, the Nirmanarati Heaven King, upon seeing the Buddha's bowl, will for seven days and seven nights make great offerings, prostrations, and circumambulations, using various heavenly flowers, various heavenly fragrances, and various heavenly music. At that time, among the heavenly beings, some will generate the unsurpassed Bodhi mind (Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi, the mind of supreme perfect enlightenment), some will generate the Sravaka mind (the mind of a disciple who hears the teachings), and some will generate the Pratyekabuddha mind (the mind of a solitary enlightened one). At that time, the Heaven King will hold the bowl in his hands and speak this verse:' 'The rare great teacher of the path, has compassion for all beings; for the benefit of all beings, he has caused the bowl to come here.' The Buddha said to Ananda, 'At that time, the gods, Asuras (demigods), Garudas (mythical birds), Gandharvas (celestial musicians), Kinnaras (celestial musicians), and Mahoragas (serpent deities), after making offerings to the Buddha's bowl with heavenly Mandara flowers, Mahamandara flowers, and various other flowers, various fragrances, heavenly sandalwood incense, and powdered incense, will then send this bowl to the palace of the Sagara Dragon King (the king of the ocean dragons).' The Buddha said, 'Ananda! All the Buddha's bowls and Buddha's relics (the remains of the Buddha) in this Jambudvipa (the continent where we live) and the other ten directions are in the palace of the Sagara Dragon King.' The Buddha said to Ananda, 'My bowl and my relics, in the future will disappear from this place, directly passing through a distance of eighty thousand yojanas (an ancient Indian unit of distance), and will reside at the Vajra-koti (the adamantine boundary). Ananda! I now tell you, in the future, when the lifespan of beings reaches eighty-four thousand years, Maitreya Tathagata (the future Buddha), Arhat (worthy of offerings), Samyak-sambuddha (perfectly enlightened one), possessing the thirty-two marks of a great man and the eighty minor marks of a great man, will emit a purple-golden halo.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

一寻，其声犹如大梵天鼓、迦陵伽音。尔时，我钵及我舍利，从金刚际出，至阎浮提弥勒佛所，钵及舍利住虚空中放五色光，所谓青、黄、赤、白、颇梨杂色。如是，阿难！彼五色光复至其余一切天处，到彼天已，于其光中出声说偈： “‘一切行无常， 一切法无我， 及寂灭涅槃， 此三是法印。’ “其光复至一切地狱，而说偈言： “‘一切行无常， 一切法无我， 及寂灭涅槃， 此三是法印。’” 佛告阿难：“佛钵、舍利所放光明，复更至于十方世界，于其光中而说偈言： “‘一切行无常， 一切法无我， 及寂灭涅槃， 此三是法印。’” 佛告阿难：“如是我钵及我舍利所放光明，十方世界作佛事已，还至本处，在于舍利佛钵之上，于虚空中成大光明云盖而住。阿难！舍利及钵现大希有如是等事，现此神通希有事时，八十百亿众生得阿罗汉果，千亿众生剃发出家信心清净，一万众生发阿耨多罗三藐三菩提心皆不退转。阿难！此钵、舍利广行教化诸众生已，于弥勒前虚空中住。尔时，弥勒佛以手捧钵及佛舍利，告诸天、人、阿修罗、迦楼罗、乾闼婆、紧那罗、摩睺罗伽言：‘汝等当知！此钵、舍利，乃是释迦牟尼如来雄猛大士信戒多闻精进定智 现代汉语译本 一寻（古代长度单位，约八尺），其声音犹如大梵天鼓（佛教中宇宙最高的神祇的鼓声）、迦陵伽（一种鸟，声音美妙）的鸣叫。那时，我的钵和我的舍利（佛陀的遗骨），从金刚际（宇宙的边缘）出现，到达阎浮提（我们所居住的世界）弥勒佛（未来佛）所在之处，钵和舍利停留在虚空中，放出五种颜色的光芒，分别是青色、黄色、红色、白色和颇梨（水晶）的混合色。阿难啊！这五色光芒又到达其他一切天界，到达天界后，在光芒中发出声音，说出偈语： ‘一切行无常，一切法无我，以及寂灭涅槃，这三者是佛法的印记。’ 光芒又到达一切地狱，也说出偈语： ‘一切行无常，一切法无我，以及寂灭涅槃，这三者是佛法的印记。’ 佛陀告诉阿难：‘佛钵和舍利所发出的光明，又到达十方世界，在光芒中说出偈语：’ ‘一切行无常，一切法无我，以及寂灭涅槃，这三者是佛法的印记。’ 佛陀告诉阿难：‘我的钵和我的舍利所发出的光明，在十方世界完成佛事后，回到原来的地方，停留在舍利和佛钵之上，在虚空中形成巨大的光明云盖而停留。阿难！舍利和钵显现如此稀有之事，当显现这种神通稀有之事时，八十百亿众生证得阿罗汉果（佛教修行者所能达到的最高境界之一），千亿众生剃发出家，信心清净，一万众生发阿耨多罗三藐三菩提心（无上正等正觉之心），皆不退转。阿难！这钵和舍利广泛教化众生后，在弥勒佛面前的虚空中停留。’那时，弥勒佛用手捧起钵和佛舍利，告诉诸天、人、阿修罗（一种好战的神）、迦楼罗（一种大鸟）、乾闼婆（天上的乐神）、紧那罗（天上的歌神）、摩睺罗伽（一种大蟒神）说：‘你们应当知道！这钵和舍利，是释迦牟尼如来（佛陀的称号）雄猛大士（对佛陀的尊称）信戒多闻精进定智（指佛陀的修行和智慧）的象征。’

English version One yojana (an ancient unit of distance, approximately eight feet), its sound was like the great Brahma's drum (the drum of the highest deity in Buddhism) and the sound of a Kalavinka (a bird with a beautiful voice). At that time, my bowl and my relics (the Buddha's remains) emerged from the Vajra boundary (the edge of the universe), reaching the place where Maitreya Buddha (the future Buddha) was in Jambudvipa (the world we inhabit). The bowl and relics remained in the void, emitting five-colored lights, namely blue, yellow, red, white, and a mixture of crystal colors. O Ananda! These five-colored lights then reached all other heavens. Upon reaching the heavens, a voice came from the light, reciting a verse: 'All conditioned things are impermanent, all dharmas are without self, and the quiescence of Nirvana; these three are the seals of the Dharma.' The light then reached all the hells, and also recited a verse: 'All conditioned things are impermanent, all dharmas are without self, and the quiescence of Nirvana; these three are the seals of the Dharma.' The Buddha told Ananda, 'The light emitted by the Buddha's bowl and relics then reached the ten directions of the world, and in the light, a verse was recited:' 'All conditioned things are impermanent, all dharmas are without self, and the quiescence of Nirvana; these three are the seals of the Dharma.' The Buddha told Ananda, 'The light emitted by my bowl and my relics, after completing the Buddha's work in the ten directions of the world, returned to its original place, resting upon the relics and the Buddha's bowl, forming a great cloud of light in the void. O Ananda! The relics and the bowl manifested such rare events. When these miraculous and rare events occurred, eighty hundred billion beings attained the Arhat fruit (one of the highest states that Buddhist practitioners can achieve), a thousand billion beings shaved their heads and left home, their faith purified, and ten thousand beings generated the mind of Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi (the mind of unsurpassed perfect enlightenment), all without regression. O Ananda! After this bowl and relics widely taught all beings, they remained in the void before Maitreya Buddha.' At that time, Maitreya Buddha held the bowl and the Buddha's relics in his hands, and told the gods, humans, Asuras (a type of warring god), Garudas (a large bird), Gandharvas (celestial musicians), Kinnaras (celestial singers), and Mahoragas (a type of great serpent god), 'You should know! This bowl and these relics are the symbols of Shakyamuni Tathagata (a title of the Buddha), the heroic great being, who possessed faith, precepts, extensive learning, diligence, concentration, and wisdom (referring to the Buddha's practice and wisdom).' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
