English version: The earth shook, and the earth gods each told one another, ‘Now Maitreya (the future Buddha) has become a Buddha.’ The news spread to the palace of the Four Heavenly Kings: ‘Maitreya has attained Buddhahood.’ It was passed on and reached the Trayastrimsa Heaven (one of the six heavens of the desire realm), the Suyama Heaven (one of the six heavens of the desire realm), the Tusita Heaven (one of the six heavens of the desire realm), the Nirmanarati Heaven (one of the six heavens of the desire realm), and the Paranirmita Vasavartin Heaven (one of the six heavens of the desire realm). The sound spread to the Brahma Heaven (the heaven of the form realm): ‘Maitreya has attained Buddhahood.’ At that time, the demon king named Great General, governed by the Dharma. Hearing the name and sound of the Tathagata, he rejoiced and was unable to contain himself, not sleeping for seven days and seven nights. At that time, the demon king led countless heavenly beings of the desire realm to where Maitreya Buddha was, and respectfully bowed to him. The Venerable Maitreya gradually spoke to the heavenly beings about the subtle Dharma, including the teachings on giving, the teachings on precepts, the teachings on being born in the heavens, the contemplation of the impurity of desires, and the excellence of liberation. At that time, Maitreya saw that the people had already developed joyful minds, and like the Buddhas, he extensively explained the meaning of the Four Noble Truths: suffering, its origin, its cessation, and the path. At that time, eighty-four thousand heavenly sons on the seat had all their defilements removed and obtained the pure Dharma eye. At that time, the demon king Great General told the people of his realm, ‘You should quickly leave home. Why? Because Maitreya has crossed to the other shore today, and he will also lead you to the other shore.’ At that time, in the city of Chitou, there was an elder named Sudhana, who, hearing the demon king's teachings and the sound of the Buddha, led eighty-four thousand people to where Maitreya Buddha was, bowed at his feet, and sat to one side. At that time, Maitreya gradually spoke to them about the subtle Dharma, including the teachings on giving, the teachings on precepts, the teachings on being born in the heavens, the contemplation of the impurity of desires, and the excellence of liberation. At that time, Maitreya saw that the people's minds were open and understanding, and like the Buddhas, he extensively explained the meaning of the Four Noble Truths: suffering, its origin, its cessation, and the path. At that time, eighty-four thousand people on the seat had all their defilements removed and obtained the pure Dharma eye. At this time, Sudhana and the eighty-four thousand people immediately came forward and requested to leave home and practice diligently. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 梵行,尽成阿罗汉道。

“尔时,弥勒初会,八万四千人得阿罗汉。 “是时,蠰佉王闻弥勒已成佛道,便往至佛所欲得闻法。时弥勒佛与王说法,初善、中善、竟善,义理深邃。尔时,大王复于异时立太子为王,赐剃头师珍宝,复以杂宝与诸梵志,将八万四千众往至佛所求作沙门,尽成道果得阿罗汉。 “是时,修梵摩大长者闻弥勒已成佛道,将八万四千梵志之众往至佛所求作沙门,得阿罗汉——唯修梵摩一人断三结使必尽苦际。 “是时,佛母梵摩越复将八万四千婇女之众往至佛所求作沙门。尔时,诸女人尽得阿罗汉——唯有梵摩越一人断三结使成须陀洹。 “尔时,诸刹利妇闻弥勒如来出现世间成等正觉,数千万众往至佛所,头面礼足,在一面坐,各各生心求作沙门,出家学道,或有越次取证、或有不取证者。 “尔时,阿难!其不越次取证者尽是奉法之人,患厌一切世间,修不可乐想。 “尔时,弥勒当说三乘之教,如我今日。弟子之中大迦叶者行十二头陀、过去诸佛所善修梵行,此人当佐弥勒劝化人民。” 尔时,迦叶去如来不远结加趺坐,正身正意系念在前。 尔时,世尊告迦叶曰:“吾今年已衰耗向八十余。然今如来有四大声闻堪任游化,智 现代汉语译本 修行梵行,最终成就阿罗汉道。 ‘那时,弥勒初次集会,有八万四千人证得阿罗汉果。’ ‘当时,蠰佉(Sangha)王听闻弥勒已经成佛,便前往佛所想要听闻佛法。那时,弥勒佛为国王说法,初善、中善、后善,义理深邃。当时,大王又在异时立太子为王,赐予剃头师珍宝,又将各种珍宝给予众婆罗门,带领八万四千人前往佛所请求出家为沙门,最终都成就道果,证得阿罗汉。’ ‘当时,修梵摩(Sudharma)大长者听闻弥勒已经成佛,带领八万四千婆罗门前往佛所请求出家为沙门,都证得阿罗汉——只有修梵摩一人断除了三结使,必定到达苦的尽头。’ ‘当时,佛母梵摩越(Brahmavati)又带领八万四千婇女前往佛所请求出家为沙门。那时,这些女人都证得阿罗汉——只有梵摩越一人断除了三结使,成就须陀洹果。’ ‘当时,诸刹帝利(Kshatriya)的妻子们听闻弥勒如来出现于世间,成就等正觉,数千万众前往佛所,头面礼足,在一旁坐下,各自生起出家为沙门,修学佛道的心,有的越级证果,有的没有证果。’ ‘那时,阿难!那些没有越级证果的人都是奉行佛法的人,厌患一切世间,修习不可乐想。’ ‘那时,弥勒将宣说三乘的教法,如同我今日一样。我的弟子中,大迦叶(Mahakasyapa)尊者修行十二头陀行,过去诸佛所善修梵行,此人将辅佐弥勒教化人民。’ 当时,迦叶在如来不远处结跏趺坐,身心端正,系念于前。 当时,世尊告诉迦叶说:‘我今年已经衰老,将近八十岁。然而,现在如来有四大声闻,堪能游化,智慧深广。’

English version Practicing the Brahma-faring, they ultimately attain the path of Arhatship. 'At that time, in the first assembly of Maitreya, eighty-four thousand people attained Arhatship.' 'At that time, King Sangha, having heard that Maitreya had attained Buddhahood, went to the Buddha desiring to hear the Dharma. Then, the Buddha Maitreya preached to the king, the beginning good, the middle good, and the end good, with profound meaning. At that time, the great king, at another time, established the crown prince as king, bestowed treasures upon the barber, and gave various treasures to the Brahmins, leading eighty-four thousand people to the Buddha, requesting to become Shramanas, and they all attained the fruit of the path, achieving Arhatship.' 'At that time, the great elder Sudharma, having heard that Maitreya had attained Buddhahood, led eighty-four thousand Brahmins to the Buddha, requesting to become Shramanas, and they all attained Arhatship—only Sudharma alone severed the three fetters and was certain to reach the end of suffering.' 'At that time, the Buddha's mother, Brahmavati, also led eighty-four thousand palace women to the Buddha, requesting to become Shramanas. At that time, these women all attained Arhatship—only Brahmavati alone severed the three fetters and became a Srotapanna.' 'At that time, the wives of the Kshatriyas, having heard that the Tathagata Maitreya had appeared in the world and attained complete enlightenment, tens of millions of people went to the Buddha, bowed their heads to his feet, and sat on one side, each generating the mind to become Shramanas, to leave home and study the path, some attaining the fruit out of order, and some not attaining the fruit.' 'At that time, Ananda! Those who did not attain the fruit out of order are all those who uphold the Dharma, who are weary of all worldly things, and cultivate the perception of the undesirable.' 'At that time, Maitreya will expound the teachings of the three vehicles, just as I do today. Among my disciples, the venerable Mahakasyapa practices the twelve dhuta practices, having well cultivated the Brahma-faring under the Buddhas of the past, this person will assist Maitreya in teaching and transforming people.' At that time, Kasyapa sat not far from the Tathagata in the lotus position, with his body and mind upright, focusing his mind on the present. At that time, the World Honored One said to Kasyapa: 'I am now old and approaching eighty years of age. However, now the Tathagata has four great Shravakas who are capable of traveling and teaching, with profound wisdom.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

慧无尽,众德具足。云何为四?所谓大迦叶比丘、屠钵叹比丘、宾头卢比丘、罗云比丘。汝等四大声闻要不般涅槃,须吾法没尽,然后乃当般涅槃。大迦叶亦不应般涅槃,要须弥勒出现世间。所以然者,弥勒所化弟子尽是释迦文弟子,由我遗化得尽有漏。 “摩竭国界毗提村中,大迦叶于彼山中住。又弥勒如来将无数千人众,前后围绕往至此山中,遂蒙佛恩,诸鬼神当与开门,使得见迦叶禅窟。是时,弥勒申右手指示迦叶,告诸人民:‘过去久远释迦文佛弟子名曰迦叶,今日现在,头陀苦行最为第一。’是时,诸人见是事已叹未曾有,无数百千众生诸尘垢尽,得法眼净。或复有众生见迦叶身已——此名为最初之会——九十六亿人皆得阿罗汉,斯等之人皆是我弟子。所以然者?悉由受我训之所致也,亦由四事因缘:惠施、仁爱、利人、等利。 “尔时,阿难!弥勒如来当取迦叶僧伽梨着之。是时,迦叶身体奄然星散。是时,弥勒复取种种华香供养迦叶。所以然者?诸佛世尊有敬心于正法故。弥勒亦由我所受正法化,得成无上正真之道。 “阿难当知,弥勒佛第二会时,有九十四亿人,皆是阿罗汉,亦复是我遗教弟子,行四事供养之所致也。 “又弥勒第三之会,九十二亿人皆是阿罗汉,亦复是 现代汉语译本 慧无尽(智慧没有穷尽),众德具足(具备各种功德)。哪四位呢?就是大迦叶比丘(Mahākāśyapa,释迦十大弟子之一,以头陀行著称)、屠钵叹比丘(Tumbaka,阿罗汉)、宾头卢比丘(Pindola,又称宾头卢颇罗堕,奉佛旨常住世间应供)、罗云比丘(Rāhula,释迦牟尼佛之子)。你们这四大声闻(Śrāvaka,听闻佛陀教诲而证悟的弟子)不要般涅槃(Parinirvana,入灭),必须等到我的佛法完全消失殆尽,然后才可以般涅槃。大迦叶也不应该般涅槃,必须要等到弥勒(Maitreya,未来佛)出现在世间。原因是,弥勒所教化的弟子,全部都是释迦文佛(Śākyamuni,佛教创始人)的弟子,由于我遗留的教化,得以全部断尽有漏(烦恼)。 ‘在摩竭陀国(Magadha)的毗提村中(Vedisa),大迦叶就在那座山中居住。等到弥勒如来(Maitreya Tathagata)带领无数千人,前后围绕来到这座山中,承蒙佛的恩德,诸鬼神应当为他打开禅窟的门,使他们能够见到迦叶禅窟。那时,弥勒伸出右手指示迦叶,告诉众人:‘过去很久以前,释迦文佛的弟子名叫迦叶,今天仍然存在,头陀苦行最为第一。’当时,众人见到这件事后,赞叹前所未有,无数百千众生的各种尘垢都消尽,得到法眼净(Dharma-cakṣus,证悟佛法的清净之眼)。或者又有众生见到迦叶的身体——这被称为最初的聚会——九十六亿人都证得阿罗汉果(Arhat,断尽烦恼,证得解脱的圣者),这些人都是我的弟子。原因是什么呢?全部都是由于接受我的教诲所导致的,也是由于四种因缘:惠施(慷慨布施)、仁爱(仁慈博爱)、利人(利益他人)、等利(平等利益)。’ ‘那时,阿难(Ānanda,释迦十大弟子之一,以多闻第一著称)!弥勒如来应当取迦叶的僧伽梨(Saṃghāti,袈裟)披上。那时,迦叶的身体忽然像星辰一样消散。那时,弥勒又用各种鲜花香料供养迦叶。原因是什么呢?诸佛世尊对于正法(正法)有恭敬之心。弥勒也是由于我所传授的正法教化,得以成就无上正真之道(Anuttarā-samyak-saṃbodhi,无上正等正觉)。’ ‘阿难你应该知道,弥勒佛第二次聚会时,有九十四亿人,全部都是阿罗汉,也都是我遗留教诲的弟子,奉行四事供养所导致的。’ ‘还有弥勒第三次聚会,九十二亿人全部都是阿罗汉,也都是’
