English version Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Sutra, Volume 1 Translated by Tripiṭaka Śramaṇa Śikṣānanda of the Kingdom of Khotan of the Tang Dynasty Chapter 1: The Supernatural Powers in the Trayastrimsa Heaven Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was in the Trayastrimsa Heaven (Trayastrimsa, the second of the six heavens of the desire realm), teaching the Dharma for his mother, Maya. At that time, countless Buddhas from the immeasurable worlds of the ten directions, and great Bodhisattva-Mahasattvas (great Bodhisattvas), all came to this place. They praised Sakyamuni Buddha for being able to manifest inconceivable great wisdom and supernatural powers in the evil world of the five turbidities (referring to the turbidities of the kalpa, views, afflictions, beings, and life), to subdue the stubborn and difficult-to-transform beings, and to make them understand the Dharma of suffering and happiness. The Buddhas and Bodhisattvas each sent their attendants to greet the World Honored One. At this time, the Tathagata smiled and emitted hundreds of thousands of millions of great light clouds—namely, the great perfect light cloud, the great compassionate light cloud, the great wisdom light cloud, the great Prajna (wisdom) light cloud, the great Samadhi (meditation) light cloud, the great auspicious light cloud, the great meritorious light cloud, the great virtuous light cloud, the great refuge light cloud, and the great praise light cloud. After emitting these unspeakable light clouds, he also emitted various subtle sounds—namely, the Dana Paramita (perfection of giving) sound, the Sila Paramita (perfection of morality) sound, the Ksanti Paramita (perfection of patience) sound, the Virya Paramita (perfection of diligence) sound, the Dhyana Paramita (perfection of meditation) sound, the Prajna Paramita (perfection of wisdom) sound, the sound of compassion, the sound of joy and equanimity, the sound of liberation, the sound of non-outflow, the sound of wisdom, the sound of great wisdom, the lion's roar sound, the great lion's roar sound, the cloud thunder sound, and the great cloud thunder sound. After emitting these unspeakable and inexpressible sounds, countless billions of devas, dragons, and spirits from the Saha world (the world we live in) and other lands also gathered in the Trayastrimsa Heaven. They were: the Caturmaharajika Heaven (the first of the six heavens of the desire realm), the Trayastrimsa Heaven, the Suyama Heaven (the third of the six heavens of the desire realm), the Tusita Heaven (the fourth of the six heavens of the desire realm), the Nirmanarati Heaven (the fifth of the six heavens of the desire realm), the Paranirmita-vasavartin Heaven (the sixth of the six heavens of the desire realm), the Brahma-parisadya Heaven (the first dhyana heaven of the form realm), the Brahma-purohita Heaven (the first dhyana heaven of the form realm), the Maha-brahma Heaven (the first dhyana heaven of the form realm), the Parittabha Heaven (the second dhyana heaven of the form realm), the Apramanabha Heaven (the second dhyana heaven of the form realm), the Abhasvara Heaven (the second dhyana heaven of the form realm), the Parittasubha Heaven (the third dhyana heaven of the form realm), the Apramanasubha --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Moreover, from other lands and the Saha world, the sea gods, river gods, stream gods, tree gods, mountain gods, earth gods, marsh gods, crop gods, day gods, night gods, sky gods, heavenly gods, food gods, and plant gods, all such gods came. Moreover, from other lands and the Saha world, all the great ghost kings—namely, the Evil-Eyed Ghost King, the Blood-Eating Ghost King, the Essence-Eating Ghost King, the Embryo-Eating Ghost King, the Disease-Spreading Ghost King, the Poison-Absorbing Ghost King, the Compassionate Ghost King, the Benefit-Bestowing Ghost King, and the Great Love and Respect Ghost King, all such ghost kings came. At that time, Śākyamuni Buddha said to Mañjuśrī, the Dharma Prince Bodhisattva Mahāsattva: 'Look at all these Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, as well as the heavenly beings, dragons, and ghosts and spirits, from this world and other worlds, from this land and other lands, who have come to the Trāyastriṃśa Heaven. Do you know their number?' Mañjuśrī said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One! If I were to use my spiritual powers to measure it for a thousand kalpas, I would not be able to know.' The Buddha told Mañjuśrī: 'Even with my Buddha eye, I cannot fully count them. All of these are beings that Kṣitigarbha Bodhisattva has already liberated, will liberate, and has not yet liberated, has already accomplished, will accomplish, and has not yet accomplished, over countless kalpas.' Mañjuśrī said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One! I have cultivated good roots for a long time in the past and have attained unobstructed wisdom. Upon hearing the Buddha's words, I should accept them with faith. However, the Śrāvakas of small attainment, the eight classes of gods and dragons, and the beings of the future world, even if they hear the Tathāgata's truthful words, will surely harbor doubts. Even if they reluctantly accept them, they will inevitably give rise to slander. I beseech the World Honored One to extensively explain the causal ground (referring to the initial aspiration and actions of a Bodhisattva during their practice) of Kṣitigarbha Bodhisattva Mahāsattva.' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 作何行、立何愿,而能成就不思议事?”

佛告文殊师利:“譬如三千大千世界,所有草木丛林,稻麻竹苇,山石微尘,一物一数,作一恒河,一恒河沙,一沙一界。一界之内,一尘一劫,一劫之内,所积尘数,尽克为劫。地藏菩萨证十地果位已来,千倍多于上喻。何况地藏菩萨在声闻、辟支佛地。文殊师利!此菩萨威神誓愿,不可思议。若未来世,有善男子、善女人,闻是菩萨名字,或赞叹,或瞻礼,或称名,或供养,乃至彩画、刻镂、塑漆形像,是人当得百返生于三十三天,永不堕恶道。   “文殊师利!是地藏菩萨摩诃萨,于过去久远不可说不可说劫前,身为大长者子。时世有佛,号曰师子奋迅具足万行如来。时长者子,见佛相好,千福庄严,因问彼佛:‘作何行愿,而得此相?’时师子奋迅具足万行如来告长者子:‘欲证此身,当须久远度脱一切受苦众生。’   “文殊师利!时长者子,因发愿言:‘我今尽未来际不可计劫,为是罪苦六道众生,广设方便,尽令解脱,而我自身,方成佛道。’以是于彼佛前,立斯大愿,于今百千万亿那由他不可说劫,尚为菩萨。   “又于过去,不可思议阿僧祇劫,时世有佛,号曰觉华定自在王如来。彼佛寿命,四百千万亿阿僧祇劫。像法之中,有一婆罗 现代汉语译本:‘要修行什么,立下什么愿,才能成就不可思议的事业呢?’ 佛告诉文殊师利:‘譬如三千大千世界,所有草木丛林,稻麻竹苇,山石微尘,每一物算作一个数,用这个数来形成一条恒河,每一条恒河的沙子,每一粒沙子算作一个世界。在一个世界之内,每一粒微尘算作一劫,每一劫之内,所积累的微尘数,全部都算作劫。地藏菩萨证得十地果位以来,所经历的劫数比上面比喻的还要多千倍。更何况地藏菩萨还在声闻、辟支佛的果位时。文殊师利!这位菩萨的威神誓愿,不可思议。如果未来世,有善男子、善女人,听到这位菩萨的名字,或者赞叹,或者瞻仰礼拜,或者称念名号,或者供养,乃至彩绘、雕刻、塑造他的形像,这个人应当能百次往生到三十三天,永远不会堕入恶道。 ‘文殊师利!这位地藏菩萨摩诃萨,在过去久远不可说不可说劫之前,身为一位大长者的儿子。当时世间有一尊佛,号为师子奋迅具足万行如来(意为:狮子般勇猛精进,具足万种德行的如来)。当时这位长者子,见到佛的相貌美好,千种福德庄严,于是问那尊佛:‘修行什么,立下什么愿,才能得到这样的相貌?’当时师子奋迅具足万行如来告诉长者子:‘想要证得这样的身相,应当长久地救度一切受苦的众生。’ ‘文殊师利!当时这位长者子,因此发愿说:‘我从现在起直到未来无尽的劫数,为了这些罪苦的六道众生,广设方便,使他们全部都得到解脱,而我自身,才成就佛道。’因为在佛前立下这个大愿,直到现在百千万亿那由他不可说劫,仍然是菩萨。 ‘又在过去,不可思议阿僧祇劫,当时世间有一尊佛,号为觉华定自在王如来(意为:觉悟之花,禅定自在的王者如来)。那尊佛的寿命,有四百千万亿阿僧祇劫。在像法时期,有一位婆罗门女,
