于时,佛告童子宝网:“善哉!善哉!所问辩才,甚为微妙,多所忧念,多所安隐,愍伤诸天及十方人,能质如来如斯义乎!童子谛听!善思念之!当为汝说分别其义。”   童子宝网与诸大众受教而听。   佛言:“童子!当知东方去此有佛世界名曰解君,犹族姓子江河沙等其中沙数若干佛土,从下水基转至上界三十三天,有诸埃尘周遍其中。时有一士夫自然出彼,一一皆数诸世界尘,过越若干亿百千垓诸佛刹土乃着一尘。”   佛言:“童子!是比类,次如前数诸佛刹土复着一尘,长远久迥无限无量不可称计,虚空不容此诸尘数,稍稍举移悉令使尽,于童子意所志云何?宁能有人思惟计数称量下算,于彼士夫所移尘数所著处乎远近多少?”   答曰:“无能知者,天中之天!假使有人欲分别识说此譬喻、晓了其义,尚不能达识其譬喻,安知数乎?”   佛语童子:“彼时士夫所移诸尘,一一着处是诸佛界,下至水际上至上界三十三天,满其中尘国土若干。于时复有第二人出,取彼一尘,过如前人所计尘数,而越若干不可称载亿百千垓诸佛刹土乃着一尘。”   佛言:“族姓子!以是比类,所过东方长远无际,复取一尘过如前数,复着一尘。以 现代汉语译本: ‘梵天遍布佛界,没有谁不听从他的命令。’ 当时,佛告诉童子宝网:‘好啊!好啊!你所问的辩才,非常微妙,既能让人忧虑,又能让人安稳,怜悯诸天和十方的人,能向如来提出这样的问题!童子仔细听!好好思考!我将为你分别解释其中的含义。’ 童子宝网和所有大众接受教诲,认真听讲。 佛说:‘童子!你要知道,从这里向东,有一个佛世界名叫解君(解脱君主),如同恒河沙数一样多的佛土。从下方的水基向上到上界的三十三天(欲界六天中的第二天),其中遍布着尘埃。那时,有一个人自然出现,他一一数着这些世界中的尘埃,每经过若干亿百千垓(垓:古代的计数单位,一亿亿)佛刹(佛所教化的国土)的尘土,才放下一粒尘埃。’ 佛说:‘童子!用这个比喻,接着像之前那样数着佛刹的尘土,再放下一粒尘埃。这样长远久远,无限无量,不可称量计算,虚空都容不下这些尘土的数量。他慢慢地移动,直到把所有尘土都用完。童子,你认为怎么样?有人能够思考、计算、称量、推算,那个人所移动的尘土和放置的地点,远近多少吗?’ 童子回答说:‘没有人能够知道,天中之天!即使有人想要分别认识、讲述这个比喻,理解其中的含义,尚且不能理解这个比喻,又怎么能知道数量呢?’ 佛告诉童子:‘那时,那个人所移动的每一粒尘土,所放置的地方都是佛界,下至水际,上至上界三十三天,其中充满尘土的国土有若干。那时,又出现第二个人,他取走一粒尘土,经过像前一个人所计算的尘土数量,越过若干不可称载亿百千垓的佛刹,才放下一粒尘埃。’ 佛说:‘族姓子!用这个比喻,所经过的东方长远无际,又取走一粒尘土,经过像之前所数的数量,又放下一粒尘埃。’ 现代汉语译本: ‘梵天遍布佛界,没有谁不听从他的命令。’ 当时,佛告诉童子宝网:‘好啊!好啊!你所问的辩才,非常微妙,既能让人忧虑,又能让人安稳,怜悯诸天和十方的人,能向如来提出这样的问题!童子仔细听!好好思考!我将为你分别解释其中的含义。’ 童子宝网和所有大众接受教诲,认真听讲。 佛说:‘童子!你要知道,从这里向东,有一个佛世界名叫解君(解脱君主),如同恒河沙数一样多的佛土。从下方的水基向上到上界的三十三天(欲界六天中的第二天),其中遍布着尘埃。那时,有一个人自然出现,他一一数着这些世界中的尘埃,每经过若干亿百千垓(垓:古代的计数单位,一亿亿)佛刹(佛所教化的国土)的尘土,才放下一粒尘埃。’ 佛说:‘童子!用这个比喻,接着像之前那样数着佛刹的尘土,再放下一粒尘埃。这样长远久远,无限无量,不可称量计算,虚空都容不下这些尘土的数量。他慢慢地移动,直到把所有尘土都用完。童子,你认为怎么样?有人能够思考、计算、称量、推算,那个人所移动的尘土和放置的地点,远近多少吗?’ 童子回答说:‘没有人能够知道,天中之天!即使有人想要分别认识、讲述这个比喻,理解其中的含义,尚且不能理解这个比喻,又怎么能知道数量呢?’ 佛告诉童子:‘那时,那个人所移动的每一粒尘土,所放置的地方都是佛界,下至水际,上至上界三十三天,其中充满尘土的国土有若干。那时,又出现第二个人,他取走一粒尘土,经过像前一个人所计算的尘土数量,越过若干不可称载亿百千垓的佛刹,才放下一粒尘埃。’ 佛说:‘族姓子!用这个比喻,所经过的东方长远无际,又取走一粒尘土,经过像之前所数的数量,又放下一粒尘埃。’

English version: 'The Brahma pervades the Buddha realms, and none do not hear and receive his commands.' At that time, the Buddha said to the boy Jewel Net: 'Excellent! Excellent! Your question is very subtle, causing both concern and peace, showing compassion for the heavens and the people of the ten directions. You are able to question the Tathagata in such a way! Boy, listen carefully! Think well! I will explain the meaning to you.' The boy Jewel Net and all the assembly received the teaching and listened attentively. The Buddha said: 'Boy! You should know that to the east from here, there is a Buddha world called 'Liberated Lord' (解君), as many Buddha lands as the sands of the Ganges River. From the water base below, up to the Thirty-three Heavens (the second of the six heavens of the desire realm) above, there are dust particles everywhere. At that time, a man naturally appears, and he counts each dust particle in these worlds. After passing through a certain number of billions of hundreds of thousands of 'gai' (垓: an ancient unit of counting, one hundred million billion) of Buddha lands (the lands where the Buddha teaches), he places one dust particle.' The Buddha said: 'Boy! Using this analogy, continue counting the dust particles of the Buddha lands as before, and then place another dust particle. This is so far and long, limitless and immeasurable, beyond calculation. Even the void cannot contain the number of these dust particles. He slowly moves them until all the dust particles are used up. Boy, what do you think? Can anyone contemplate, calculate, measure, or estimate the distance and quantity of the dust particles that man moved and placed?' The boy replied: 'No one can know, O God of Gods! Even if someone wanted to understand and explain this analogy, they would not be able to grasp its meaning, how could they know the number?' The Buddha told the boy: 'At that time, each dust particle that man moved and placed was a Buddha realm, from the water's edge below to the Thirty-three Heavens above, filled with dust particles. Then, a second person appears, and he takes one dust particle, passes through the same number of dust particles as the first person counted, and crosses a certain number of incalculable billions of hundreds of thousands of 'gai' of Buddha lands before placing one dust particle.' The Buddha said: 'Son of a good family! Using this analogy, the distance to the east is boundless. He takes another dust particle, passes through the same number as before, and places another dust particle.'

是比像,其人所越,天所不覆、地不能载,不可计量亿百千垓诸佛刹土,尔乃得至解君世界。彼有佛名宝光月殿,号妙尊音王如来、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,于今现在。族姓子及族姓女学菩萨乘,闻彼佛名不怀犹豫,信佛道眼斯可闻名,所生之处作转轮王。若佛兴世常与相见,睹无央数诸佛至真咸供养之,净修梵行获致神通,进退独步总持自在,得观如来睹江河沙等平等正觉,弃舍生死超若干亿劫亦如江河沙,心常安静未曾忽忘,恒志无上正真之道,无有尘埃不近众尘,由得自在身如钩锁,住在一处具足四事,体如紫金,以三十二大人相庄严其身,逮八部音声喻梵天,弃捐八难常得闲静。”   于时,世尊观此义已,则说颂曰: “其闻世吼名,  心不怀狐疑,  笃信佛法明,  则为真众祐。  常为转轮王,  辄值见诸佛,  适遇寻供养,  无量不可议。  恒遵修梵行,  神通而独步,  执转诸总持,  致睹诸佛路。  常得觐诸佛,  犹如江河沙,  超越诸生死,  亿劫亦若干。  以志佛道故,  心未曾忽忘,  其宣世吼名,  为众请宣传。  成转轮圣王,  立一处自由,  致体紫金色,  其相三十二。 现代汉语译本 比方说,这个人所超越的,是天所不能覆盖、地所不能承载的,不可计量的亿百千垓(极大的数量单位)诸佛刹土(佛所教化的世界),你才能到达解君世界。那里有一尊佛,名为宝光月殿(佛名),号为妙尊音王如来(佛的十号之一)、至真(佛的称号)、等正觉(佛的智慧)、明行成为(佛的德行)、善逝(佛的称号)、世间解(佛的智慧)、无上士(佛的称号)、道法御(佛的称号)、天人师(佛的称号)、佛(觉悟者)、世尊(佛的称号),现在正在那里。善男子和善女人学习菩萨乘(大乘佛教的修行方式),听到这尊佛的名号不怀疑,相信佛的道眼(佛的智慧)能够听到这个名号,他们所出生的地方会成为转轮王(统治世界的理想君主)。如果佛出世,他们常常能与佛相见,见到无数的诸佛至真(佛的称号)并供养他们,清净地修行梵行(清净的行为),获得神通,进退自如,总持(记忆和理解佛法)自在,能够见到如来(佛的称号),看到像恒河沙一样多的平等正觉(佛的智慧),舍弃生死,超越像恒河沙一样多的若干亿劫(极长的时间单位),内心常常安静,从未忘记,恒常立志于无上正真之道(佛的教诲),没有尘埃,不接近众尘,因此得到自在,身体像钩锁一样坚固,住在一个地方就具备四事(衣食住行),身体像紫金一样,用三十二大人相(佛的身体特征)庄严自身,获得八部音声(佛的声音)像梵天一样,舍弃八难(难以修行佛法的八种障碍),常常得到闲静。 这时,世尊观察了这个意义,就说了偈颂: ‘听到世吼(佛的称号)的名号,心中不怀有狐疑, 笃信佛法光明,就是真正的受佑者。 常常成为转轮王,总是能见到诸佛, 适时遇到就供养,数量无量不可思议。 恒常遵循修行梵行,神通而独步, 执持转动各种总持,得以见到诸佛的道路。 常常能够觐见诸佛,犹如恒河沙一样多, 超越各种生死,亿劫也像若干。 因为立志于佛道,内心从未曾忘记, 宣扬世吼的名号,为大众请来宣传。 成就转轮圣王,立于一处自由自在, 身体呈现紫金色,具有三十二种相好。’
