,白佛言:“彼佛如来,甚为希有!如是悲心发愿,为诸众生得此寿量。” 佛言:“童子!若有众生闻此十佛名号,恭敬受持、书写读诵、信乐修行,所有无量、无边福德悉得具足,三业之罪亦不能生。 “童子!若有善男子、善女人,于恒河沙等佛刹,满中七宝供养如来,经百千岁获福无量;若善男子、善女人闻是十佛名号,恭敬信受、书写读诵、为他解说,所得福德胜前供养无量无边。” 尔时,索河世界主、大梵天王、帝释天子、四天大王、稣枲么天子、大自在天子,以最上旃檀香粖散世尊前而为供养,白世尊言:“若有众生于此正法,书写读诵、信解受持,得一切天人、阿修罗尊重礼拜,所有地狱、畜生、焰魔罗界、阿修罗身及饿鬼趣,皆得解脱。” 佛言:“若此正法,耳根得闻、受持读诵,罪恶魔冤不能侵害,于阿耨多罗三藐三菩提速得不退。” 尔时,世尊而说颂曰: “持此世尊十名号, 如是寿命俱胝劫, 佛说功德不思议, 未来成就二足尊。” 尔时,频婆娑罗王宝月童子,白于世尊而说伽他曰: “大无畏善说, 无边无量佛, 众生最上师, 我今归命礼。 如是今修学, 一切佛知见, 愿断于烦恼, 速成于菩提。 现代汉语译本: 宝月童子对佛说:‘那位佛如来真是非常稀有!他发如此悲悯之心,发愿为众生获得这样的寿命。’ 佛说:‘童子!如果有众生听闻这十位佛的名号,恭敬地接受、持诵、书写、读诵,并信奉修行,他们将圆满获得无量无边的福德,并且不会产生身、口、意三业的罪过。 ‘童子!如果有善男子、善女人,在如同恒河沙数那样多的佛刹中,用充满七宝的供品供养如来,经过百千岁,所获得的福德也是无量的;如果善男子、善女人听闻这十位佛的名号,恭敬地信受、书写、读诵,并为他人解说,他们所获得的福德胜过之前的供养,无量无边。’ 当时,索河世界的主宰、大梵天王(Brahma,创造之神)、帝释天子(Indra,众神之王)、四天大王(四大天王)、稣枲么天子(Suyama,夜摩天之主)、大自在天子(Maheshvara,湿婆神),用最上等的旃檀香粉散在世尊面前作为供养,并对世尊说:‘如果有众生对于这正法,书写、读诵、信解、受持,将得到一切天人、阿修罗(Asura,非天)的尊重和礼拜,所有地狱、畜生、焰魔罗界(Yamaraja,阎罗王界)、阿修罗身以及饿鬼道,都将得到解脱。’ 佛说:‘如果这正法,能被耳根听到、接受、持诵,罪恶和魔障都不能侵害,并且能迅速在阿耨多罗三藐三菩提(Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi,无上正等正觉)上得到不退转。’ 当时,世尊说了偈颂: ‘持诵这世尊的十个名号, 如此寿命可达俱胝劫(koti kalpa,无数劫), 佛说此功德不可思议, 未来将成就二足尊(佛)。’ 当时,频婆娑罗王(Bimbisara)的宝月童子,对世尊说了偈颂: ‘大无畏的善说者, 无边无量的佛陀, 众生最上的导师, 我今归命顶礼。 如此我今修学, 一切佛的知见, 愿断除烦恼, 速速成就菩提。’

English version: Prince Baoyue said to the Buddha, 'That Buddha Tathagata is truly very rare! He has made such a compassionate vow, wishing for all beings to obtain such a lifespan.' The Buddha said, 'Child! If there are beings who hear the names of these ten Buddhas, respectfully accept, uphold, write, recite, and believe in and practice them, they will fully obtain immeasurable and boundless merits, and the sins of the three karmas (body, speech, and mind) will not arise.' 'Child! If there are good men and good women who, in Buddha-lands as numerous as the sands of the Ganges River, offer to the Tathagata with offerings filled with seven treasures for hundreds of thousands of years, the merits they obtain are also immeasurable; if good men and good women hear the names of these ten Buddhas, respectfully believe, accept, write, recite, and explain them to others, the merits they obtain surpass the previous offerings, immeasurable and boundless.' At that time, the lord of the Soha world, the Great Brahma King (Brahma, the god of creation), the Indra (Indra, king of gods), the Four Heavenly Kings (the Four Great Kings), the Suyama Heaven Prince (Suyama, lord of the Yama Heaven), and the Maheshvara Heaven Prince (Maheshvara, Shiva), scattered the finest sandalwood powder before the World Honored One as an offering, and said to the World Honored One, 'If there are beings who, for this Dharma, write, recite, believe, understand, and uphold it, they will receive the respect and worship of all gods, humans, and Asuras (Asura, demigods), and all hells, animals, the realm of Yamaraja (Yamaraja, the realm of the king of death), Asura bodies, and the realm of hungry ghosts will all be liberated.' The Buddha said, 'If this Dharma is heard by the ear, accepted, and recited, sins and demonic obstacles cannot harm them, and they will quickly attain non-retrogression in Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi (Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi, unsurpassed perfect enlightenment).' At that time, the World Honored One spoke in verse: 'Holding the ten names of this World Honored One, Such a lifespan can reach koti kalpas (koti kalpa, countless eons), The Buddha said this merit is inconceivable, In the future, one will achieve the Two-Legged Honored One (Buddha).' At that time, Prince Baoyue of King Bimbisara (Bimbisara) spoke a verse to the World Honored One: 'The fearless and well-spoken one, The boundless and immeasurable Buddhas, The supreme teacher of beings, I now take refuge and bow in reverence. Thus I now study, All the knowledge and vision of the Buddhas, May I cut off afflictions, And quickly achieve Bodhi.' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ”

尔时,童子说此颂已,白世尊言:“我今如是所有忍辱,菩萨大智总持法门,方广之教佛菩提行,如是修学行菩提行。” 尔时,世尊复说颂曰: “若人受持佛名号, 水火盗贼不能侵, 毒药刀杖王难等, 一切诸苦自消除, 如是速得于菩提, 广令流布佛名号。 “若此正法于末世时,有人受持读诵,此人命终速成佛道;若以香花供养一切诸佛经多劫时,不如有人于此正法暂时书写读诵,所得福德无量无边;若人以最上所爱七宝,满于一切刹土之中,供养一切诸佛,亦不如读诵此经得福甚多。” 佛说此经时,无量百千俱胝那臾多众生,发阿耨多罗三藐三菩提心;无量、无边众生得无生忍,不退转于阿耨多罗三藐三菩提。 佛说是语时,宝月童子等,皆大欢喜,作礼而退。 大乘宝月童子问法经 现代汉语译本 当时,童子说完这首偈颂后,对世尊说:‘我现在所拥有的忍辱,菩萨大智总持法门,方广的教义,佛菩提的修行,都是这样修学,行菩提之道的。’ 当时,世尊又说偈颂道: ‘如果有人受持佛的名号,水、火、盗贼都不能侵犯他,毒药、刀杖、王难等一切痛苦都会自行消除,这样就能迅速证得菩提,广泛流布佛的名号。’ ‘如果这正法在末世时,有人受持读诵,这个人命终后就能迅速成就佛道;如果用香花供养一切诸佛,经历多劫的时间,也不如有人对这正法暂时书写读诵,所得到的福德无量无边;如果有人用最上等所珍爱的七宝,充满一切刹土之中,供养一切诸佛,也不如读诵此经得到的福德多。’ 佛说这部经时,无量百千俱胝那臾多(俱胝:千万;那臾多:极多数)的众生,发起了阿耨多罗三藐三菩提心(无上正等正觉之心);无量无边的众生得到了无生法忍(对诸法不生不灭的真理的领悟),不会再退转于阿耨多罗三藐三菩提。 佛说完这些话时,宝月童子等都非常欢喜,行礼后退下。 《大乘宝月童子问法经》

English version At that time, after the boy spoke this verse, he said to the World Honored One: 'The forbearance I now possess, the Bodhisattva's great wisdom, the Dharani (total retention) Dharma gate, the teachings of Vaipulya (extensive) scriptures, the practice of Buddha's Bodhi, are all cultivated and practiced in this way, following the path of Bodhi.' At that time, the World Honored One again spoke a verse: 'If a person upholds the Buddha's name, water, fire, and thieves cannot harm them. Poison, weapons, royal troubles, and all sufferings will naturally disappear. In this way, one can quickly attain Bodhi and widely spread the Buddha's name.' 'If this true Dharma is upheld and recited in the latter days, that person will quickly attain Buddhahood after death. If one offers incense and flowers to all Buddhas for many kalpas (eons), it is not as meritorious as someone who temporarily writes and recites this true Dharma, the merit obtained is immeasurable and boundless. If one uses the most precious and beloved seven treasures to fill all Buddha lands and offers them to all Buddhas, it is still not as meritorious as reciting this scripture.' When the Buddha spoke this scripture, countless hundreds of thousands of kotis (ten million) of nayutas (a very large number) of beings generated the Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi (supreme perfect enlightenment) mind; countless, boundless beings attained the Kshanti (patience) of non-origination (understanding the truth of non-arising and non-ceasing of all dharmas), and will not regress from Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi. When the Buddha finished speaking, the boy, Ratna-chandra (Treasure Moon), and others were all very joyful, bowed, and withdrew.
