English version The great wise Shariputra (one of the ten great disciples of the Buddha, known for his wisdom), you are able to follow the Buddha in turning the Dharma wheel (the propagation of Buddhist teachings), you are a great general of the Dharma. Out of compassion for sentient beings, you say to the Buddha: 'World Honored One! As it is said in previous scriptures, Maitreya (the future Buddha) will become a Buddha. I wish to widely hear about Maitreya's merits, spiritual powers, and the adornments of his land. Through what kind of giving, precepts, and wisdom can sentient beings see Maitreya?' At that time, the Buddha told Shariputra: 'I will now explain it to you in detail, you should listen attentively. Shariputra! The four great seas will gradually decrease, decreasing by three thousand yojanas (an ancient Indian unit of length); at that time, the land of Jambudvipa (the world we live in) will be ten thousand yojanas long and eight thousand yojanas wide, flat like a mirror, covered with soft grass called 'Hua Ruan'; various trees, with abundant flowers and fruits, the trees will all be thirty li high, cities will be next to each other, and chickens can fly to reach them. People will live for eighty-four thousand years, with wisdom, power, appearance, and strength all complete, peaceful and happy; there will only be three diseases: one is urination and defecation, two is eating and drinking, and three is aging; women will marry at the age of five hundred.' 'At that time, there will be a great city called Ketumati (the future capital city of Maitreya Buddha), twelve yojanas long and seven yojanas wide, upright and solemn, extremely beautiful, pure and adorned, filled with people of merit, and because of the people of merit, it will be prosperous, peaceful, and happy. This city will be built with seven treasures, with pavilions above, and the doors and windows will all be made of various treasures, covered with pearl nets; the streets and alleys will be twelve li wide, and swept very clean. There will be a powerful dragon king named Tarashikhi (name of the dragon king); his pond will be near the city, and the dragon king's palace will be in this pond; often in the middle of the night, he will send down fine rain to moisten the dust, making the ground moist, like it has been oiled, and people will come and go,' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

无有尘坌。时世人民，福德所致，巷陌处处，有明珠柱，皆高十里，其光明曜，昼夜无异，灯烛之明，不复为用；城邑舍宅，及诸里巷，乃至无有细微土块，纯以金沙覆地，处处皆有金银之聚。有大夜叉神，名跋陀波罗赊塞迦(秦言善教)，常护此城，扫除清净；若有便利不净，地裂受之，受已还合。人命将终，自然行诣冢间而死。时世安乐，无有怨贼劫窃之患；城邑聚落，无闭门者，亦无衰恼、水火刀兵，及诸饥馑、毒害之难。人常慈心，恭敬和顺，调伏诸根，语言谦逊。 “舍利弗！我今为汝，粗略说彼国界城邑富乐之事。其诸园林，池泉之中，自然而有八功德水，青、红、赤、白、杂色莲花，遍覆其上。其池四边，四宝阶道，众鸟和集，鹅、鸭、鸳鸯、孔雀、翡翠、鹦鹉、舍利、鸠那罗、耆婆耆婆等，诸妙音鸟，常在其中，复有异类妙音之鸟，不可称数。果树香树，充满国内。尔时阎浮提中，常有好香，譬如香山，流水美好，味甘除患，雨泽随时，谷稼滋茂，不生草秽，一种七获，用功甚少，所收甚多，食之香美，气力充实。 “其国尔时，有转轮王，名曰蠰佉，有四种兵，不以威武治四天下。其王千子，勇健多力，能破怨敌。王有七宝：金轮宝、象宝、马宝、珠宝、女宝、主藏宝、主兵宝。又其 现代汉语译本： 没有尘土污垢。那时的人民，由于福德所致，街巷处处都有明珠柱，都高达十里，那光明照耀，昼夜没有差别，灯烛的光明，不再被使用；城邑住宅，以及各个里巷，乃至没有细微的土块，全部用金沙覆盖地面，处处都有金银的聚集。有大夜叉神，名叫跋陀波罗赊塞迦（Bhadra-pala-sha-seka，秦译为善教），常常守护这座城市，打扫得清净；如果有大小便等不净之物，地面裂开接纳它，接纳后又恢复原状。人寿命将尽时，自然走到墓地间而死。那时世间安乐，没有怨仇盗贼抢劫的祸患；城邑村落，没有关门的人家，也没有衰老烦恼、水火刀兵，以及各种饥荒、毒害的灾难。人们常常怀有慈悲之心，恭敬和顺，调伏各种感官，言语谦逊。 ‘舍利弗（Sariputra）！我现在为你，粗略地说说那个国界的城邑富乐之事。那些园林，池泉之中，自然而然地有八功德水，青色、红色、赤色、白色、杂色的莲花，遍布覆盖在上面。那池塘的四边，有四宝阶梯道路，各种鸟类聚集在一起，鹅、鸭、鸳鸯、孔雀、翡翠、鹦鹉、舍利鸟、鸠那罗鸟、耆婆耆婆鸟等，各种美妙声音的鸟，常常在其中，还有其他种类的美妙声音的鸟，不可计数。果树香树，充满国内。那时阎浮提（Jambudvipa）中，常常有好闻的香气，譬如香山，流水美好，味道甘甜能消除疾病，雨水及时，谷物庄稼生长茂盛，不生杂草污秽，播种一次收获七次，用的功夫很少，收获的却很多，吃起来香甜美味，气力充足。’ ‘那个国家那时，有转轮王，名叫蠰佉（Sankha），有四种军队，不以威力武力统治四天下。那位国王有一千个儿子，勇敢强健，力气很大，能够击破怨敌。国王有七宝：金轮宝、象宝、马宝、珠宝、女宝、主藏宝、主兵宝。还有’

English version: There is no dust or dirt. The people of that time, due to their blessings, have jeweled pillars everywhere in the streets and alleys, all ten miles high. Their light shines brightly, day and night without difference. The light of lamps and candles is no longer needed. The cities, towns, residences, and all the lanes and alleys, do not even have tiny clods of earth; they are purely covered with golden sand. Everywhere there are gatherings of gold and silver. There is a great Yaksha (a type of spirit) god named Bhadra-pala-sha-seka (meaning 'Good Teaching' in Chinese), who constantly protects this city, sweeping and cleaning it. If there is any excrement or impurity, the ground cracks open to receive it, and after receiving it, it closes up again. When people are about to die, they naturally go to the graveyard and die there. At that time, the world is peaceful and happy, without the calamities of enemies, thieves, or robbers. The cities and villages have no doors that need to be closed. There is no decline, distress, water, fire, swords, or weapons, nor any famines, poisons, or disasters. People always have compassionate hearts, are respectful and harmonious, subdue their senses, and speak with humility. 'Sariputra (one of the principal disciples of the Buddha)! Now I will briefly tell you about the wealth and happiness of the cities and towns in that land. In those gardens and ponds, there is naturally water with eight qualities of merit, and blue, red, crimson, white, and mixed-color lotuses cover them all over. On the four sides of the ponds, there are stairways made of four kinds of jewels. Various birds gather together: geese, ducks, mandarin ducks, peacocks, kingfishers, parrots, Sarika birds, Jivajivaka birds, and other birds with wonderful sounds are always there. There are also other kinds of birds with wonderful sounds, too numerous to count. Fruit trees and fragrant trees fill the country. At that time, in Jambudvipa (the continent where humans live), there is always a pleasant fragrance, like that of Fragrant Mountain. The flowing water is beautiful, and its taste is sweet and can cure diseases. The rain falls in due season, and the grains and crops grow luxuriantly, without weeds or impurities. One sowing yields seven harvests, with very little effort and a great yield. The food is fragrant and delicious, and it provides abundant energy.' 'At that time, that country has a Chakravartin (wheel-turning king) named Sankha (conch), who has four kinds of troops, but does not rule the four continents with force or might. That king has a thousand sons, who are brave, strong, and powerful, and able to defeat enemies. The king has seven treasures: the golden wheel treasure, the elephant treasure, the horse treasure, the jewel treasure, the woman treasure, the treasurer treasure, and the military leader treasure. Also,' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

国土，有七宝台，举高千丈，千头千轮，广六十丈。又有四大藏，一一大藏，各有四亿小藏围绕：伊勒钵大藏在乾陀罗国、般轴迦大藏在弥缇罗国、宾伽罗大藏在须罗吒国、蠰佉大藏在波罗捺国；此四大藏，纵广千由旬，满中珍宝，各有四亿小藏附之；有四大龙王，各自守护。此四大藏及诸小藏，自然踊出，形如莲华，无央数人，皆共往观。是时众宝，无守护者，众人见之，心不贪着，弃之于地，犹如瓦石、草木、土块。时人见者，皆生厌心，而作是念：往昔众生，为此宝故，共相残害，更相偷劫、欺诳、妄语，令生死罪缘，展转增长。翅头末城，众宝罗网，弥覆其上，宝铃庄严，微风吹动，其声和雅，如扣钟磬。 “其城中有大婆罗门主，名曰妙梵；婆罗门女，名曰梵摩波提；弥勒托生，以为父母，身紫金色，三十二相，众生视之，无有厌足，身力无量，不可思议，光明照曜，无所障碍，日月火珠，都不复现；身长千尺，胸广三十丈，面长十二丈四尺，身体具足，端正无比，成就相好，如铸金像，肉眼清净，见十由旬，常光四照，面百由旬，日月火珠，光不复现，但有佛光，微妙第一。 “弥勒菩萨，观世五欲，致患甚多，众生沉没，在大生死，甚可怜愍；自以如是正念观故，不乐在家。时蠰佉王，共 现代汉语译本：国土之中，有七宝构成的台阁，高耸千丈，有千个头和千个轮，宽广六十丈。又有四大宝藏，每一个大宝藏，都有四亿个小宝藏围绕：伊勒钵（I勒钵，一种宝藏名）大藏在乾陀罗国（Gandhara，古印度地名），般轴迦（般轴迦，一种宝藏名）大藏在弥缇罗国（Mithila，古印度地名），宾伽罗（宾伽罗，一种宝藏名）大藏在须罗吒国（Surashtra，古印度地名），蠰佉（蠰佉，一种宝藏名）大藏在波罗捺国（Varanasi，古印度地名）；这四大宝藏，纵横各有一千由旬（Yojana，古印度长度单位），里面充满了珍宝，各自有四亿个小宝藏附属于它们；有四大龙王，各自守护着这些宝藏。这四大宝藏以及所有的小宝藏，自然涌现出来，形状像莲花，无数的人都一起前去观看。那时，所有的珍宝都没有人守护，人们看见了，心中不贪恋执着，把它们丢弃在地上，就像瓦片石头、草木土块一样。当时的人们看见这些，都生起厌恶之心，并且这样想：‘过去众生，为了这些宝物，互相残杀，互相偷盗抢劫、欺骗、说谎，使得生死罪业的因缘，辗转增长。’翅头末城（Ketumati，弥勒菩萨未来将教化的城市），有众宝罗网覆盖在上面，用宝铃装饰，微风吹动，发出的声音和谐优雅，如同敲击钟磬一般。 城中有一位大婆罗门（Brahmin，古印度祭司阶层）首领，名叫妙梵（Myo-Brahma）；婆罗门女子，名叫梵摩波提（Brahma-vati）；弥勒（Maitreya，未来佛）托生，作为他们的父母，身体是紫金色，具有三十二种殊胜的相貌，众生看见他，没有厌倦满足的时候，身体的力量无量无边，不可思议，光明照耀，没有任何障碍，日月火珠的光芒，都不再显现；身高千尺，胸宽三十丈，面长十二丈四尺，身体完美无缺，端正无比，成就了美好的相貌，如同用黄金铸造的佛像一般，肉眼清净，能看见十由旬的距离，身上常有光芒四射，面部光芒能照耀百由旬，日月火珠的光芒不再显现，只有佛光，微妙无比，最为殊胜。 弥勒菩萨，观察世间的五种欲望，导致了许多的祸患，众生沉溺其中，在大生死轮回中，非常可怜；因为自己这样正确的念头观察的缘故，不乐于在家生活。这时，蠰佉王（Sankha，人名），和
