English

English version If one sincerely practices this Dharma, diligently follows and cultivates this most venerable path, and is always able to diligently practice the supreme truth, such a person will not encounter disputes. By serving the Holy One with boundless actions, upon hearing his name, one will immediately take refuge in him. The Buddha told the youth: ‘Below, going beyond this place by ninety-nine times the previous analogy, and then beyond that distance, like ninety-nine incalculable, countless billions of nayutas of Buddha lands, there is a world named 'Honored Banner Lord'. The Buddha there is named 'Good Tranquil Moon Sound King Tathagata (Tathagata), the Truly Worthy One (Arhat), the Perfectly Enlightened One (Samyak-sambuddha), Accomplished in Knowledge and Conduct (Vidya-carana-sampanna), the Well-Gone One (Sugata), Knower of the World (Lokavid), the Unsurpassed One (Anuttara-purusa), Tamer of Men (Purusa-damya-sarathi), Teacher of Gods and Humans (Sasta deva-manusyanam), Buddha (Buddha), the World Honored One (Bhagavat). The scriptures he speaks, from beginning to end, are supremely good, unique in the three realms, saving the three times, enabling beings to aspire to the supreme and true path.’ ‘If a son or daughter of good family studies the Bodhisattva path, upon hearing the name of that Buddha, they will not harbor doubt in their hearts, and will believe in the explanation of what I have seen with my Dharma eye. Then, in the place where they are born, they will attain the Samadhi of Universal Light (Samadhi). At the time of their death, they will fully see countless billions of nayutas of Buddhas appearing before them, in all ten directions. The Buddhas of the ten directions will preach the scriptures to them, and upon hearing them, they will receive and uphold them, keeping them in their hearts, never forgetting them. Until they attain Buddhahood, the merit they accumulate will be ten times incalculable, reaching immeasurable, boundless Samadhi concentrations, and they will not lose their concentration within the concentration. Until they attain Buddhahood, they will have no obstacles, and all the Buddhas of the ten directions will jointly establish them. For a newly learning Bodhisattva, they will transcend the difficulties of birth and death for ninety-nine billion nayutas of kalpas, quickly approaching the supreme and true path, not hindered by kalpas of birth and death, just as the sun rises, illuminating the world with great light.’ Then, the World Honored One, having observed this principle, spoke the following verses: ‘Hearing the name of the Honored One who travels the world, he is a great divine sage with countless boundless merits. Being able to see countless billions of Buddhas, one should personally serve such a supreme Buddha. Because one is able to make offerings to all the Tathagatas, becoming a good guide, widely opening up teachings, universally illuminating the three times, and then attaining Buddhahood without worry. The Buddhas one serves and makes offerings to in one lifetime are as numerous as the sands of the Ganges River, and one will quickly attain the supreme and perfect enlightenment.’ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 致三昧光遍照,  然后成佛无忧念。  以致觉意广无厌,  遇诸法王转法轮,  建立众生无三恶,  灭生死火如水浇。  天人之尊为福田,  人中法导德殊胜,  人民见之怀喜悦,  弃捐于斯诸八难。  明智逮值独闲静,  逮得人身常聪圣,  游无量世乃遇佛,  若有颁宣安住名。  造立誓愿若百千,  而得闻此世明导,  以安和成大觉眼,  亦当获致柔顺忍。  如我锭光所得决,  见佛以花散其上,  智者得忍亦如斯,  说超异愿亿佛名。  其演光明临寿终,  闻其名号无不宣,  唯有外道虚伪术,  以坐其人翳道教。  假使有闻说斯经,  亲自所睹如来宣,  斯党后世能受持,  复为他人分别说。”

佛告童子:“上方去是过如前喻倍恒边沙,有世界名善分别,其佛号无数精进愿首如来、至真、等正觉、明行成为、善逝、世间解、无上士、道法御、天人师、佛、世尊,现在说法。颁宣道教开化十方,六通六度皆使蒙恩,唯学菩萨不断佛种。若善男子及善女人学菩萨乘,闻彼佛名,不怀结网信吾道眼,世世所生未曾懈怠。不习贪欲、不恋父母、不着妻子兄弟姊妹、不慕亲属中外种姓、不贪亲友交识所知,世世所在身未曾离,三十二相庄严其体, 现代汉语译本 达到三昧光明遍照,然后成佛,心中无忧无虑。 以至于觉悟的意念广大而没有厌倦,遇到诸佛法王转动法轮。 建立众生脱离三恶道,熄灭生死之火如同用水浇灭。 成为天人所尊敬的福田,在人中作为引导者,其德行殊胜。 人民见到他都心怀喜悦,抛弃了所有的八难。 明智的人能够达到独处静修的境界,获得人身,常常聪明而圣洁。 经历无数世才能遇到佛,如果有人宣说安住的名号。 即使发下成百上千的誓愿,也能听到这位世间的明灯引导。 以安和之心成就大觉之眼,也应当获得柔顺的忍辱。 如同我(指释迦牟尼佛)在锭光佛(Dipamkara)那里所得到的授记,见到佛时以鲜花散在其上。 有智慧的人获得忍辱也是如此,宣说超越寻常愿望的亿万佛名。 当他演说光明,临终之时,听到他的名号没有不宣扬的。 只有外道的虚伪之术,用以蒙蔽人们的道教。 假使有人听到宣说这部经,亲自见到如来宣讲。 这些人后世能够受持,并且为他人分别解说。 佛告诉童子:‘上方过去,如同前面比喻的恒河沙数倍的世界,有一个世界名为善分别,那里的佛号为无数精进愿首如来(Ananta-virya-pranidhana-srestha Tathagata),至真(Tathagata),等正觉(Samyaksambuddha),明行成为(Vidyacharana-sampanna),善逝(Sugata),世间解(Lokavid),无上士(Anuttara),道法御(Purusadamyasarathi),天人师(Sasta devamanusyanam),佛(Buddha),世尊(Bhagavan),现在正在说法。宣讲道教,开化十方,六通(Abhijnas)六度(Paramitas)都使众生蒙受恩惠,只有学习菩萨道的人不断绝佛种。如果善男子和善女人学习菩萨乘,听到那位佛的名号,不怀有疑惑,相信我的道眼,世世所生都不会懈怠。不习于贪欲,不留恋父母,不执着妻子兄弟姐妹,不羡慕亲属中外种姓,不贪恋亲友交识所知,世世所在身体都不会离开三十二相(Lakshanas)来庄严自身。’

English version Attaining the Samadhi light that shines everywhere, then becoming a Buddha without worry. To the extent that the intention of enlightenment is vast and without weariness, encountering the Dharma Kings who turn the Dharma wheel. Establishing sentient beings to be free from the three evil paths, extinguishing the fire of birth and death as if with water. Becoming a field of merit revered by gods and humans, as a guide among people, whose virtue is extraordinary. People who see him are filled with joy, abandoning all the eight difficulties. The wise can reach the state of solitary quietude, obtaining a human body, always intelligent and holy. After countless lifetimes, one can encounter a Buddha, if someone proclaims the name of abiding. Even if one makes hundreds and thousands of vows, one can hear the guidance of this world's light. With a peaceful mind, achieving the eye of great enlightenment, one should also attain gentle patience. Just as I (referring to Shakyamuni Buddha) received the prediction from Dipamkara Buddha, seeing the Buddha and scattering flowers upon him. The wise who attain patience are also like this, proclaiming the names of billions of Buddhas that surpass ordinary vows. When he expounds the light, at the end of his life, hearing his name, there is no one who does not proclaim it. Only the false arts of the heretics are used to obscure people's understanding of the Dharma. If someone hears this sutra being proclaimed, having personally seen the Tathagata expounding it. These people in future lives will be able to uphold it and explain it to others. The Buddha told the youth: 'Above, going past worlds as numerous as the sands of the Ganges River multiplied by the previous metaphor, there is a world named 'Good Discrimination,' where the Buddha is named Ananta-virya-pranidhana-srestha Tathagata (Tathagata of Infinite Vigor and Vow), Tathagata, Samyaksambuddha, Vidyacharana-sampanna, Sugata, Lokavid, Anuttara, Purusadamyasarathi, Sasta devamanusyanam, Buddha, Bhagavan, who is now teaching the Dharma. Proclaiming the Dharma, enlightening the ten directions, the six Abhijna (superknowledges) and six Paramitas (perfections) all benefit sentient beings, only those who study the Bodhisattva path do not cut off the Buddha seed. If good men and good women study the Bodhisattva vehicle, hearing the name of that Buddha, without harboring doubts, believing in my Dharma eye, in every life they are born, they will never be lazy. Not practicing greed, not attached to parents, not clinging to wives, brothers, and sisters, not envying relatives of inner and outer lineages, not greedy for friends and acquaintances, in every life, their bodies will not be without the thirty-two Lakshanas (marks) to adorn themselves.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version 'With reduced lust, anger, and ignorance, the body is free from illness, without much worry, peaceful and immeasurable, until becoming a Buddha, one constantly attains immeasurable billions of hundreds of thousands of nayutas of meritorious virtues.' The Buddha then spoke in verse: 'Never have they seen sorrow or grief, nor have their parents or relatives, Those who hear the names of all Buddhas, do not harbor doubts or suspicions. Their world shines with light, now located above, With divine power illuminating the three realms, they preach the Dharma to all beings. If one can hear the name of a Buddha and proclaim it to others, They will adorn themselves with the thirty-two marks (the thirty-two auspicious marks of a Buddha). Wisdom will not diminish or be depleted, they cultivate the Bodhisattva path, Revering and taking refuge in all Buddhas, this is the result of proclaiming the Buddha's name. They are always revered wherever they are, as are the inconceivable billions of Buddhas, Those who practice the Buddha's path have never been attached to anything. The merits they obtain cannot be exhausted by praise, Because by hearing the Buddha's name, they can proclaim it to others. Then, in future ages, if one encounters this name, Do not harbor doubts, the Buddha's wisdom is the supreme covering. They see the Buddha of equal enlightenment, making countless offerings, Then, in future ages, this sutra will come into their hands. They can see the Buddha in the jeweled net, Bodhisattvas are fearless, Once they hear this sutra, they will not harbor hesitation, Do not doubt the Buddha's path, the Tathagata's realm is immeasurable. They have practiced in past lives, through countless billions of kalpas, Giving away their bodies, hands, feet, ears, nose, and head, Wives, countries, and cities, all given away without resentment, Then, in future ages, those who can hear this sutra, If they can proclaim it to others, they will achieve the greatest blessings. Those who wish to understand the true meaning, the path of all Buddhas, Do not harbor hesitation, follow the teachings of the World Honored One. Therefore, upon hearing this sutra, tame your mind, learn contentment, Recite and study this scripture, and frequently practice walking meditation.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------  常讲具精进,  满足备三月,  转得总持决,  善执念诸法。”
