佛告童子：“若有佛刹中三品众生，共和同心志于佛慧。设复有人供养此等，无央数劫如江河沙，以贡上佛一心无二，造立精舍极令广大如大千界，以天栴檀而合成之。一精舍里兴造讲堂计有亿数，一一讲堂施亿千榻、一一床上重布好衣柔软。百亿紫磨金宝以为床榻，使大神圣住在世间，以此床榻而供养之。竟恒沙劫灭度之后，为一一佛各起塔庙，亦如江河沙不可计亿；为一一佛所起塔庙七宝合成，大如三千大千世界，极高巍巍 现代汉语译本 水、火和风的本性，以及地的极限都可以被完全了解。 如果有人受持这部经，即使赞叹并讲述它的界限，也无法完全穷尽其福德，以及功德的多少。 比丘（佛教出家男众）、比丘尼（佛教出家女众），以及清信士（在家男居士）、清信女（在家女居士），诸天（天神）和摩睺勒（一种神祇），凡是听闻这部经典的人，众生都将获得利益，无法称量其功德。 他们的血脉不会损耗，进入火中，火也会变得寒冷。 如果有人七天专心修持这部经，奉行佛道，也供养菩萨（觉悟的有情），奉持经典应当如此。 如果有人想用一根毫毛，执持千个世界，用手掌托起，即使经过亿劫也不放下。 如果在后来的末世，有人像这样讲述这部经，广为他人宣说，就能迅速成就至尊的觉悟之道。 能够为他人宣说此经，这是前所未有的。 佛道是不可限量的，难以用譬喻来完全描述。 然而在后来的末世，外道（不信奉佛教的宗教）和异学之人，听到佛的狮子吼（佛陀的教诲），必定会起来争论。 那些奉敬佛陀，世间护佑者，宣扬光明的人，在未来的世代，听闻此经时会非常谦恭。 佛陀告诉童子：‘如果在一个佛刹（佛所教化的世界）中有三品众生，他们同心同德地追求佛的智慧。假设有人供养这些众生，经过无数劫像恒河沙数一样长的时间，一心一意地供养佛，建造的精舍（佛教寺院）极其广大，如同大千世界，用天上的栴檀（一种香木）合成。一个精舍里建造的讲堂有亿万之多，每一个讲堂都施设亿千张床榻，每一张床上都铺设柔软的好衣。用百亿紫磨金宝做成床榻，让大神圣住在世间，用这些床榻来供养他们。经过恒河沙数劫之后，当这些佛灭度后，为每一位佛都建造塔庙，也像恒河沙数一样不可计数；为每一位佛所建造的塔庙都是用七宝合成，大如三千大千世界，极其高大巍峨。’

English version The nature of water, fire, and wind, and the limits of the earth can all be fully known. If someone upholds this sutra, even if they praise and describe its limits, they cannot fully exhaust its blessings and the extent of its merits. Bhikkhus (Buddhist monks), bhikkhunis (Buddhist nuns), as well as upasakas (lay male devotees), upasikas (lay female devotees), devas (gods), and mahoragas (a type of deity), all beings who hear this sutra will benefit, and its merits cannot be measured. Their blood will not be depleted, and if they enter fire, the fire will become cold. If someone single-mindedly practices this sutra for seven days, follows the path of the Buddha, and also makes offerings to Bodhisattvas (enlightened beings), they should uphold the sutra in this way. If someone were to use a single hair to hold a thousand worlds, and lift them with their palm, they would not put them down even after countless eons. If, in the latter days, someone were to speak of this sutra in this way, and widely proclaim it to others, they would quickly attain the supreme path of enlightenment. Being able to proclaim this sutra to others is unprecedented. The path of the Buddha is limitless and difficult to fully describe with metaphors. However, in the latter days, those of other paths (religions not following Buddhism) and heterodox teachings, upon hearing the Buddha's lion's roar (the Buddha's teachings), will surely rise up in dispute. Those who revere the Buddha, the protector of the world, and proclaim the light, will be very humble when they hear this sutra in future generations. The Buddha told the youth: 'If in a Buddha-field (a world where a Buddha teaches) there are three kinds of beings who are of one mind and purpose in seeking the wisdom of the Buddha. Suppose someone were to make offerings to these beings for countless eons, as numerous as the sands of the Ganges River, with a single-minded devotion to the Buddha, and build monasteries that are extremely vast, like a great chiliocosm, made of heavenly sandalwood. In one monastery, there would be hundreds of millions of lecture halls, and in each lecture hall, there would be hundreds of millions of beds, each covered with soft, fine clothing. The beds would be made of hundreds of millions of purple gold and jewels, so that great saints could dwell in the world, and these beds would be used to make offerings to them. After countless eons, when these Buddhas have passed away, for each Buddha, they would build stupas (Buddhist shrines), also as numerous as the sands of the Ganges River; the stupas built for each Buddha would be made of seven treasures, as large as a three-thousand-great-thousand world, extremely tall and majestic.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

极于上界三十三天；一一塔庙所供养盖，数如江河沙，亿百千垓诸真珠贯垂着四面，亿千缯幡跱立诸幢，亦如江河沙，众宝校饰鼓诸伎乐。一一塔庙竖天上柱，诸柱罗列亿百千垓，而见供养所设如是。一佛世界所兴塔庙幢盖香花，如是奉事江河沙劫。若闻是经一偈之颂，不怀犹豫颁宣咨嗟，一安住名号福过于彼，并供养吾为天中天，能持奉行不毁禁戒。 “若有明者闻三昧名，得见诸佛如江河沙，亦能恭敬消息承事，诸两足圣威神无极，讲说经典常无放逸，无数亿劫未曾忘失。 “其有曾见过去世吼为说尊经殊异道王，是等末世闻之乃悦，宿从世尊更已启受，弃捐结网瑕秽之垢，除诸恶行如粪不净出于贪欲，名曰有目，习乐闲居常无驰骋。其人本在维耶离城，以曾闻佛说是经时，自归如来及见宝网，于后末世乃持是经，如我所教为弟子说。其行尊妙功德茂盛，愍伤众生开度诸流，于后末世乃持是经，供养诸佛不可称计，是等之类于后末世乃持佛法。 “若亿千劫净修梵行在于世间，行不可计积累功德，于后末世闻此经者，福超于彼无能限量，启受经典精思无底，游诸佛土不可计会。见诸正觉讲无限法，见阿弥陀、阿閦如来，其欲睹此诸人中导离垢光㷿、师子月英，然后末世当持此经。若复欲见弥勒 现代汉语译本：在最上层的三十三天（佛教宇宙观中的欲界第二天），每一座塔庙所供奉的宝盖，数量如同恒河沙一样多，数以亿百千垓的真珠串联垂挂在四面，数以亿千的缯幡竖立如幢，也像恒河沙一样多，各种宝物装饰，奏响各种乐器。每一座塔庙都竖立着天上的柱子，这些柱子排列着亿百千垓，所见的供养陈设就是这样。一个佛世界所兴建的塔庙、宝幢、宝盖、香花，这样奉事如同恒河沙劫的时间。如果有人听闻这部经的一个偈颂，不怀疑犹豫，宣扬赞叹，安住于名号，其福德超过上述的供养，并且供养我这个天中之天，能够持守奉行而不毁坏戒律。 如果有人明了，听闻三昧（佛教的禅定）之名，就能见到如同恒河沙一样多的诸佛，也能恭敬地问候承事，这些两足圣者（佛的尊称）的威神力是无穷无尽的，讲说经典常常不懈怠，无数亿劫都不曾忘失。 那些曾经在过去世见到吼（佛的别称）为他们讲说尊贵的经典，殊异的道王（佛的别称），这些人到了末世听到这部经会感到喜悦，他们宿世就从世尊那里接受过教诲，抛弃了结网（比喻烦恼）的瑕疵污垢，去除各种恶行，如同粪便不净一样远离贪欲，这样的人被称为有眼目（有智慧），喜欢安闲居住，常常不放纵。这个人原本在维耶离城（古印度城市），因为曾经听闻佛陀讲说这部经，就皈依如来并且见到宝网（佛的庄严），在后来的末世能够持诵这部经，如同我所教导的那样为弟子们讲说。他的行为尊贵美好，功德茂盛，怜悯伤痛众生，开导他们脱离生死轮回，在后来的末世能够持诵这部经，供养诸佛，数量不可计数，这样的人在后来的末世能够护持佛法。 如果有人在亿千劫的时间里清净地修持梵行（清净的行为），在世间修行不可计量的功德，在后来的末世听到这部经的人，他的福德超过上述的人，没有人能够比得上，接受经典，精进思考，没有穷尽，游历诸佛国土，不可计数。见到诸位正觉（佛的别称）讲说无限的佛法，见到阿弥陀佛、阿閦佛如来，那些想要见到这些人中导师，离垢光（佛的别称）、师子月英（佛的别称）的人，在后来的末世应当持诵这部经。如果还想见到弥勒（未来佛）

English version: At the highest realm, the Thirty-three Heavens (the second heaven in the desire realm of Buddhist cosmology), the canopies offered at each stupa and temple are as numerous as the sands of the Ganges River. Countless billions of trillions of pearls are strung and hung on all sides, and countless thousands of banners stand like masts, also as numerous as the sands of the Ganges River. Various treasures adorn them, and various musical instruments play. Each stupa and temple has heavenly pillars erected, arranged in countless billions of trillions, and the offerings are set up in this way. The stupas, banners, canopies, and flowers offered in a single Buddha-world are dedicated in this way for as many kalpas as there are sands in the Ganges River. If someone hears even one verse of this sutra, without doubt or hesitation, proclaims and praises it, and dwells in the name, their merit surpasses the aforementioned offerings. They also make offerings to me, the Teacher of Gods and Humans, and are able to uphold and practice without breaking the precepts. If someone is wise and hears the name of samadhi (Buddhist meditation), they will be able to see Buddhas as numerous as the sands of the Ganges River. They will also be able to respectfully greet and serve them. The majestic power of these Two-Legged Saints (an epithet for the Buddha) is limitless. They constantly speak the sutras without negligence, and they never forget them for countless billions of kalpas. Those who have seen in past lives the Lion's Roar (an epithet for the Buddha) expounding the noble sutras, the unique King of the Path (an epithet for the Buddha), will rejoice upon hearing this sutra in the latter days. They have received teachings from the World Honored One in past lives, have discarded the defilements of the net (a metaphor for afflictions), have removed all evil deeds, and have turned away from greed like one would from unclean feces. Such people are called 'having eyes' (having wisdom), enjoy living in seclusion, and are never reckless. This person was originally in the city of Vaisali (an ancient Indian city), and because they heard the Buddha expound this sutra, they took refuge in the Tathagata and saw the jeweled net (the Buddha's adornment). In the latter days, they will be able to uphold this sutra and explain it to their disciples as I have taught. Their conduct is noble and excellent, their merit is abundant, they have compassion for suffering beings, and they guide them to liberation from the cycle of birth and death. In the latter days, they will be able to uphold this sutra, make offerings to countless Buddhas, and such people will be able to protect the Dharma in the latter days. If someone practices pure conduct (brahmacarya) for billions of trillions of kalpas, and accumulates immeasurable merit in the world, those who hear this sutra in the latter days will have merit that surpasses them, and no one can compare. They will receive the sutra, contemplate it deeply without end, and travel to countless Buddha-lands. They will see the Perfect Awakened Ones (an epithet for the Buddha) expounding limitless Dharma, and they will see Amitabha Buddha and Akshobhya Buddha. Those who wish to see these guides of humanity, the Light of Purity (an epithet for the Buddha), and Lion Moon Hero (an epithet for the Buddha), should uphold this sutra in the latter days. If they also wish to see Maitreya (the future Buddha) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

如来、无垢大圣师子英如来，如光明尊，亦复如是。然后末世当持佛法，顺如是比尊妙经典。今者如来为宝网说，自于后世当奉行之，无得住立放逸之地，不毁禁戒常无放逸，于后世时当奉行之。仁寿终时，当速往生上方世界无量光明最胜佛土，世界名曰为宝君主，彼寿终已，当久逮寻见弥勒正觉。” 佛说如是，童子宝网，四万亿菩萨弥勒菩萨等，六十亿阿罗汉，九十亿诸天、世人、阿须伦，闻佛所说，莫不欢喜，作礼而退。 佛说宝网经 现代汉语译本：如来（Tathagata）、无垢大圣师子英如来（Vimala Mahasinha Sura Tathagata），如同光明尊（Light Honored One）一样，也是如此。然后末世之时，应当秉持佛法，遵循如此尊贵微妙的经典。现在如来为宝网（Ratnajala）宣说，自己于后世应当奉行此法，不可安住于放逸之地，不毁坏禁戒，常无放逸，在后世之时应当奉行此法。当寿命终结时，应当迅速往生上方世界无量光明最胜佛土，那个世界名为宝君主（Ratnaraja），在那里的寿命终结后，应当很快就能见到弥勒（Maitreya）正觉。” 佛陀如此说道，童子宝网（Ratnajala），四万亿菩萨，弥勒菩萨（Maitreya Bodhisattva）等，六十亿阿罗汉（Arhat），九十亿诸天、世人、阿修罗（Asura），听闻佛陀所说，无不欢喜，作礼后退下。 佛说宝网经（Ratnajala Sutra）

English version: The Tathagata, the Vimala Mahasinha Sura Tathagata, like the Light Honored One, is also the same. Then, in the latter days, one should uphold the Dharma, and follow such noble and wonderful scriptures. Now, the Tathagata speaks for Ratnajala, and one should practice this Dharma in the future, not dwelling in a place of negligence, not destroying the precepts, always without negligence, and in the future, one should practice this Dharma. When life ends, one should quickly be reborn in the upper world, the immeasurable light and most excellent Buddha land, that world is called Ratnaraja, and after life ends there, one should quickly see the Maitreya's perfect enlightenment. The Buddha spoke thus, the youth Ratnajala, four hundred trillion Bodhisattvas, Maitreya Bodhisattva and others, six billion Arhats, nine billion Devas, humans, and Asuras, hearing what the Buddha said, were all delighted, paid homage, and withdrew. The Buddha Speaks the Ratnajala Sutra --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
