English version: The Sutra of the Merits of the Fundamental Vows of the Seven Buddhas of Bhaisajyaguru Vaidurya Light, Volume 1 Translated by Tripitaka Master Yijing of the Tang Dynasty at Foguang Monastery Thus have I heard: At one time, the Bhagavan (Buddha) was traveling and teaching in various countries, and arrived at the city of Guangyan. He was under the tree of Pleasant Sounds, together with eight thousand great Bhikshus (monks), and thirty-six thousand Bodhisattva Mahasattvas (great Bodhisattvas). Their names were: Manjushri Bodhisattva, Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva, Maitreya Bodhisattva, Subhuti Bodhisattva, Mahamati Bodhisattva, Sumati Bodhisattva, Shikhara Bodhisattva, Vakyashikhara Bodhisattva, Dharani-shikhara Bodhisattva, Anavakramana Bodhisattva, Subhasvara Bodhisattva, Nityacintana Bodhisattva, Vajrapani Bodhisattva, and other great Bodhisattvas as their leaders. There were also kings, ministers, Brahmins, lay practitioners, the eight classes of gods and dragons, humans, non-humans, and countless other beings, respectfully surrounding the Buddha. The Buddha was expounding the Dharma for them, which was good in the beginning, good in the middle, and good in the end. The words and meanings were skillful, pure, complete, clear, and bright, embodying the conduct of a Brahmacari (pure conduct). The Buddha taught and brought joy to all, enabling them to fulfill their subtle practices and vows, and to strive towards the Great Bodhi (supreme wisdom). At that time, Manjushri, the Dharma Prince Bodhisattva Mahasattva, relying on the majestic power of the Buddha, rose from his seat, bared his right shoulder, knelt on his right knee, joined his palms in reverence, and said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One! Now there are countless humans and gods gathered here to listen to the Dharma. May the World Honored One, from the time of your initial aspiration until now, in all the Buddha lands as numerous as dust particles, reveal what you have known and seen. Out of compassion, please explain to us and to the sentient beings of the future Dharma-ending age, the names of the Buddhas, the merits of their fundamental vows, the adornments of their lands, and the differences in their skillful means, so that those who hear may eliminate their karmic obstacles and attain Bodhi, thus gaining peace and happiness.'

尔时,世尊赞曼殊室利菩萨言:“善哉!善哉!曼殊室利!汝以大悲愍念无量业障有情,种种疾病、忧悲苦恼,得安乐故,劝请我说诸佛名号、本愿功德、国土庄严。此由如来威神之力,令发斯问。汝今谛听,极善思惟,当为汝说。” 曼殊室利言:“惟愿为说,我等乐闻。” 佛告曼殊室利:“东方去此,过四弶伽河沙佛土,有世界名曰无胜,佛号善名称吉祥王如来、应、正等觉、明行圆满、善逝、世间解、无上丈夫、调御士、天人师、佛、世尊,有无量亿众,不退菩萨之所围绕,安住七宝胜妙庄严师子之座,现在说法。曼殊室利!彼佛国土清净严饰,纵广正等百千逾缮那,以赡部金而为其地,平正柔软,气如天香;无诸恶趣及女人名,亦无瓦砾、沙石、棘刺;宝树行列,花果滋繁;多有浴池,皆以金银、真珠、杂宝而为砌饰。曼殊室利!彼国菩萨皆于七宝莲花化生。是故,净信善男子、善女人,皆当愿生彼佛国土。 “曼殊室利!彼佛如来、应、正等觉,从初发心行菩萨道时,发八大愿。云何为八? “第一大愿:愿我来世得无上菩提时,若有众生,为诸病苦逼切其身,热病、诸疟、蛊道、厌魅、起尸鬼等之所恼害;若能至心称我名者,由是力故,所有病苦悉皆消灭 现代汉语译本 ‘不退转’。 那时,世尊赞叹曼殊室利菩萨说:‘好啊!好啊!曼殊室利!你以大慈悲心怜悯无量被业障缠缚的有情众生,他们遭受各种疾病、忧愁悲伤和痛苦的折磨,为了让他们得到安乐,你劝请我说诸佛的名号、本愿功德和国土的庄严。这是由于如来的威神之力,才让你发起这样的提问。你现在仔细听,认真思考,我将为你解说。’ 曼殊室利说:‘我们很乐意听闻,请您为我们解说。’ 佛告诉曼殊室利:‘从这里向东方,经过相当于四条恒河沙数那样多的佛土,有一个世界名叫无胜,那里的佛号是善名称吉祥王如来(如来:佛的十号之一,指真如而来;应:应供,指值得受人供养;正等觉:指佛的智慧平等而普遍;明行圆满:指佛的智慧和修行都圆满;善逝:指佛的修行圆满,到达涅槃;世间解:指佛了解世间一切事理;无上丈夫:指佛是世间最伟大的修行者;调御士:指佛能调伏众生;天人师:指佛是天人和人类的导师;佛:指觉悟者;世尊:指世间最受尊敬的人),他有无量亿的众生,被不退转的菩萨们围绕着,安住在七宝庄严的狮子座上,现在正在说法。曼殊室利!那个佛的国土清净庄严,纵横广阔,方圆有百千由旬(逾缮那:古印度长度单位),地面是纯金的,平坦柔软,散发着天上的香气;没有恶道和女人的名字,也没有瓦砾、沙石和荆棘;宝树成行排列,花果繁茂;有很多浴池,都用金银、珍珠和各种珍宝装饰。曼殊室利!那个国土的菩萨都是在七宝莲花中化生出来的。因此,所有具有清净信仰的善男子、善女人,都应当发愿往生到那个佛的国土。 ‘曼殊室利!那位如来、应、正等觉,从最初发心修行菩萨道时,发了八大愿。哪八大愿呢?’ ‘第一大愿:愿我来世证得无上菩提时,如果有众生,被各种疾病折磨身体,如热病、各种疟疾、蛊毒、厌魅、起尸鬼等所困扰;如果能至诚称念我的名号,由于这种力量,所有的病苦都将消灭。’

English version 'Never to regress'. At that time, the World Honored One praised Manjushri Bodhisattva, saying: 'Excellent! Excellent! Manjushri! With great compassion, you are mindful of the immeasurable sentient beings burdened by karmic obstacles, who suffer from various diseases, sorrows, grief, and afflictions. To bring them peace and happiness, you have urged me to speak of the names of the Buddhas, their fundamental vows, merits, and the adornments of their lands. This is due to the majestic power of the Tathagata that you have initiated this question. Now, listen carefully and contemplate deeply, and I will explain it to you.' Manjushri said: 'We are eager to hear, please explain it to us.' The Buddha told Manjushri: 'To the east from here, passing through Buddha lands as numerous as the sands of four Ganges Rivers, there is a world named 'Without Victory'. The Buddha there is named 'Good Name Auspicious King Tathagata' (Tathagata: one of the ten titles of a Buddha, meaning 'thus come'; Arhat: worthy of offerings; Samyaksambuddha: perfectly and universally enlightened; Vidyacharana-sampanna: perfect in knowledge and conduct; Sugata: well-gone, referring to the Buddha's perfect attainment of Nirvana; Lokavid: understander of the world; Anuttara-purusa-damya-sarathi: unsurpassed tamer of men; Shastha deva-manusyanam: teacher of gods and humans; Buddha: the awakened one; Bhagavan: the World Honored One). He is surrounded by countless billions of beings and non-regressing Bodhisattvas, residing on a lion throne adorned with seven treasures, and is now expounding the Dharma. Manjushri! That Buddha's land is pure and adorned, its length and breadth are equal to a hundred thousand yojanas (yojana: an ancient Indian unit of distance), its ground is made of Jambunada gold, flat and soft, and it emits a heavenly fragrance; there are no evil realms or the names of women, nor are there any tiles, stones, or thorns; rows of precious trees are lined up, with abundant flowers and fruits; there are many bathing ponds, all decorated with gold, silver, pearls, and various treasures. Manjushri! The Bodhisattvas of that land are all born from seven-jeweled lotuses. Therefore, all faithful men and women should aspire to be born in that Buddha's land.' 'Manjushri! That Tathagata, Arhat, Samyaksambuddha, when he first aspired to practice the Bodhisattva path, made eight great vows. What are the eight?' 'The first great vow: I vow that when I attain unsurpassed Bodhi in the future, if there are sentient beings whose bodies are afflicted by various diseases, such as fever, various malarias, poison curses, enchantments, or corpse-raising ghosts; if they can sincerely recite my name, by this power, all their sufferings will be extinguished.' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ,乃至证得无上菩提。
