English version Then, with a Brahma-like voice, the Buddha addressed the Devas (gods), Asuras (demigods), Garudas (mythical birds), Gandharvas (celestial musicians), and Mahoragas (serpent deities), saying: ‘Do not weep, do not make strange sounds, do not grieve and beat your chests, causing your minds to be confused. What in this world that is born, being a conditioned phenomenon arising from the union of causes and conditions, can remain for long? If one were to force the impermanent to not perish, there is no such possibility.’ At that time, the World Honored One, having taught and delighted the Devas, Asuras, Garudas, Gandharvas, and Mahoragas, they, including the Mahoragas, circumambulated the World Honored One to the right and returned to their respective abodes. The Buddha said to Ananda: ‘In the past, at the place of the Apalala Dragon King, I prophesied about the country of Kasmira (ancient region in northern India), saying that after my Nirvana, that country would be very prosperous, peaceful, and affluent, like Uttarakuru (a mythical continent). The Dharma would be very flourishing, with many Arhats residing there, and countless disciples of the Tathagata. All the Arhats in this Jambudvipa (the world we live in) will go to that country, just like being in the Tushita Heaven (a heavenly realm). All the name-bodies and phrase-bodies of the Tathagata, namely: Sutra (discourses), Geya (verses), Vyakarana (explanations), Gatha (stanzas), Udana (solemn utterances), Nidana (causes), Avadana (parables), Itivuttaka (sayings), Jataka (birth stories), Vaipulya (extensive teachings), Adbhutadharma (marvelous teachings), and Upadesha (instructions), those Arhats will compile the twelve divisions of the Tathagata's teachings and widely compose various treatises. That country of Kasmira will be like the Joyful Garden of Indra (king of the gods), and like the Anavatapta Lake (a cool lake). Furthermore, there will be Purna, Pindola, and others, who will all enjoy residing in that land of Kasmira. Arhats who do not regress from the Buddha's vehicle will also reside in that country. There will also be Arhats like Indramana and White-Necked Arhats, who will collect all the Dharma treasures spoken by the Tathagata, including the defiled and undefiled teachings, and widely propagate them. Ananda! After my Nirvana, they will establish the final Dharma body in the future. Furthermore, five celestial sons, such as Kimpila, will be born in Kasmira, widely spreading my Dharma in the world, and will hold grand offerings. My disciples in Jambudvipa have never had such a great assembly.’ The Buddha said to Ananda: ‘In the future’ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

来世罽宾国土,当作如是大法之会。阿难!彼五天子灭度之后,有富兰那外道弟子,名莲花面,聪明智慧,善解天文二十八宿五星诸度,身如金色,此大痴人,已曾供养四阿罗汉,当供养时作如是誓:‘愿我未来破坏佛法,以其供养阿罗汉故,世世受于端正之身。’于最后身生国王家,身为国王名寐吱曷罗俱逻,而灭我法。此大痴人破碎我钵,既破钵已生于阿鼻大地狱中。此大痴人命终之后,有七天子次第舍身生罽宾国,复更建立如来正法,大设供养。阿难!以破钵故,我诸弟子渐污净戒。钵初破时,诸比丘等虽污清净戒,智如牛王能破外道。经第二时,此阎浮提诸比丘等,破清净戒乐作不善,身行偷盗耕田垦植,多贪贮畜好衣好钵,不乐读诵修多罗、毗尼、阿毗昙。如是,阿难!乐读乐诵智慧之人悉皆灭度。是时多有诸比丘等,谄曲嫉妒多起非法。以诸比丘不如法故,诸国王等不依王法。以王不如王法治故,其国人民多行增上十不善业。以恶业故,此地多生荆棘毒草土沙砾石。阿难!当于尔时,此阎浮提五种精味失力失味,所谓酥、油、盐、石蜜、蜜。如是五种失力味故,尔时众生复更多行增上恶业,以其多行恶不善故,佛破碎钵当至北方。尔时,北方诸众生等,见佛破钵大设供养,以种种花、烧香、涂香、灯明、 现代汉语译本:来世在罽宾(Kashmir)国土,将会有这样盛大的佛法集会。阿难!那五位天子灭度之后,会有一位富兰那(Purana)外道的弟子,名叫莲花面,他聪明有智慧,精通天文,了解二十八星宿和五星的运行规律。他身如金色,但这个人非常愚痴,曾经供养过四位阿罗汉,在供养时发誓说:‘愿我未来能够破坏佛法,因为我供养阿罗汉的功德,生生世世都能拥有端正的容貌。’他最后转生到国王家,成为国王,名叫寐吱曷罗俱逻(Megharakula),他会毁灭我的佛法。这个愚痴的人会打碎我的钵,打碎钵后会堕入阿鼻大地狱。这个愚痴的人死后,会有七位天子依次舍身转生到罽宾国,重新建立如来的正法,并大设供养。阿难!因为打碎钵的缘故,我的弟子们会逐渐玷污清净的戒律。钵刚被打碎时,比丘们虽然玷污了清净的戒律,但他们的智慧如同牛王一样,能够破斥外道。到了第二个时期,这个阎浮提(Jambudvipa)的比丘们,会破坏清净的戒律,喜欢做不善的事情,身体力行偷盗、耕田、开垦土地,贪婪地积蓄财物,喜欢好的衣服和钵,不喜欢读诵修多罗(Sutra)、毗尼(Vinaya)、阿毗昙(Abhidhamma)。像这样,阿难!喜欢读诵和有智慧的人都会灭度。那时,会有很多比丘,谄媚虚伪,嫉妒他人,多做非法的事情。因为比丘们不如法,所以国王们也不遵守王法。因为国王不按照王法治理国家,所以国家的人民大多会增加十不善业。因为恶业的缘故,这片土地上会生长很多荆棘、毒草、沙土和砾石。阿难!到那时,这个阎浮提的五种美味会失去力量和味道,它们是酥、油、盐、石蜜和蜂蜜。因为这五种美味失去了力量和味道,那时的众生会更加多地造作恶业,因为他们多做恶不善的事情,佛的破碎的钵会到达北方。那时,北方的众生看到佛的破碎的钵,会大设供养,用各种鲜花、烧香、涂香、灯明等供养。 阿难!我此钵者,是过去诸佛之所受用,亦是未来诸佛之所受用。阿难!此钵碎时,我诸弟子不复恭敬尊重于佛,不复恭敬尊重于法,不复恭敬尊重于僧,不复恭敬尊重于戒。阿难!此钵碎时,我诸弟子不复恭敬尊重父母师长,不复恭敬尊重沙门婆罗门,不复恭敬尊重耆旧有德之人。阿难!此钵碎时,我诸弟子不复恭敬尊重于佛舍利,不复恭敬尊重于佛塔庙。阿难!此钵碎时,我诸弟子不复恭敬尊重于三宝,不复恭敬尊重于三宝法。阿难!此钵碎时,我诸弟子不复恭敬尊重于三宝僧。阿难!此钵碎时,我诸弟子不复恭敬尊重于三宝戒。阿难!此钵碎时,我诸弟子不复恭敬尊重于三宝法。阿难!此钵碎时,我诸弟子不复恭敬尊重于三宝僧。阿难!此钵碎时,我诸弟子不复恭敬尊重于三宝戒。阿难!此钵碎时,我诸弟子不复恭敬尊重于三宝法。阿难!此钵碎时,我诸弟子不复恭敬尊重于三宝僧。阿难!此钵碎时,我诸弟子不复恭敬尊重于三宝戒。阿难!此钵碎时,我诸弟子不复恭敬尊重于三宝法。阿难!此钵碎时,我诸弟子不复恭敬尊重于三宝僧。阿难!此钵碎时,我诸弟子不复恭敬尊重于三宝戒。阿难!此钵碎时,我诸弟子不复恭敬尊重于三宝法。阿难!此钵碎时,我诸弟子不复恭敬尊重于三宝僧。阿难!此钵碎时,我诸弟子不复恭敬尊重于三宝戒。阿难!此钵碎时,我诸弟子不复恭敬尊重于三宝法。阿难!此钵碎时,我诸弟子不复恭敬尊重于三宝僧。阿难!此钵碎时,我诸弟子不复恭敬尊重于三宝戒。阿难!此钵碎时,我诸弟子不复恭敬尊重于三宝法。阿难!此钵碎时,我诸弟子不复恭敬尊重于三宝僧。阿难!此钵碎时,我诸弟子不复恭敬尊重于三宝戒。

English version: In the future, in the land of Kashmir (Kashmir), there will be such a grand Dharma assembly. Ananda! After those five heavenly beings pass away, there will be a disciple of the Purana (Purana) heretics, named Lotus Face, who is intelligent and wise, well-versed in astronomy, and understands the twenty-eight constellations and the movements of the five planets. His body will be golden, but this person is very foolish. He once made offerings to four Arhats, and when making offerings, he vowed: 'May I be able to destroy the Buddha's Dharma in the future, and because of my merit in offering to the Arhats, may I have a handsome appearance in every life.' He will eventually be reborn into a royal family, become a king named Megharakula (Megharakula), and he will destroy my Dharma. This foolish person will break my bowl, and after breaking the bowl, he will fall into the Avici Great Hell. After this foolish person dies, seven heavenly beings will successively give up their lives and be reborn in Kashmir, re-establishing the Tathagata's true Dharma and making great offerings. Ananda! Because of the breaking of the bowl, my disciples will gradually defile the pure precepts. When the bowl was first broken, although the monks defiled the pure precepts, their wisdom was like that of a bull king, able to refute the heretics. In the second period, the monks of this Jambudvipa (Jambudvipa) will break the pure precepts, like to do unwholesome things, engage in stealing, farming, and cultivating land, greedily accumulate wealth, like good clothes and bowls, and dislike reading the Sutras (Sutra), Vinaya (Vinaya), and Abhidhamma (Abhidhamma). In this way, Ananda! Those who like to read and have wisdom will all pass away. At that time, there will be many monks who are flattering, hypocritical, jealous of others, and do many illegal things. Because the monks are not in accordance with the Dharma, the kings will not abide by the laws of the kingdom. Because the kings do not govern the country according to the laws of the kingdom, the people of the country will mostly increase the ten unwholesome deeds. Because of evil deeds, many thorns, poisonous weeds, sand, and gravel will grow on this land. Ananda! At that time, the five delicious flavors of this Jambudvipa will lose their strength and taste, namely ghee, oil, salt, rock sugar, and honey. Because these five flavors have lost their strength and taste, the sentient beings at that time will do more evil deeds. Because they do many evil and unwholesome things, the Buddha's broken bowl will reach the north. At that time, the sentient beings in the north, seeing the Buddha's broken bowl, will make great offerings, offering various flowers, incense, perfumes, and lamps. Ananda! This bowl of mine was used by the Buddhas of the past, and it will also be used by the Buddhas of the future. Ananda! When this bowl is broken, my disciples will no longer respect the Buddha, no longer respect the Dharma, no longer respect the Sangha, and no longer respect the precepts. Ananda! When this bowl is broken, my disciples will no longer respect their parents and teachers, no longer respect the Shramanas and Brahmins, and no longer respect the elders and virtuous people. Ananda! When this bowl is broken, my disciples will no longer respect the Buddha's relics, no longer respect the Buddha's pagodas and temples. Ananda! When this bowl is broken, my disciples will no longer respect the Three Jewels, no longer respect the Dharma of the Three Jewels. Ananda! When this bowl is broken, my disciples will no longer respect the Sangha of the Three Jewels. Ananda! When this bowl is broken, my disciples will no longer respect the precepts of the Three Jewels. Ananda! When this bowl is broken, my disciples will no longer respect the Dharma of the Three Jewels. Ananda!

When this bowl is broken, my disciples will no longer respect the precepts of the Three Jewels. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
