修行六度，始于今日法海满，建法幢、击法鼓、吹法蠡、雨法雨，正尔当为汝等说法。诸佛所转八圣道轮，诸天世人无能转者；其义平等直至无上，无为寂灭，为诸众生断长夜苦；此法甚深，难得难入、难信难解，一切世间无能知者、无能见者，洗除心垢，得万梵行。’说是语时，复有他方无数百千万亿天子、天女、大梵天王乘天宫殿，持天花香奉献如来，绕百千匝，五体投地合掌劝请；诸天伎乐不鼓自鸣。时，诸梵王异口同声，而说偈言： “‘无量无数岁， 空过无有佛； 众生堕恶道， 世间眼目灭。 三恶道增广， 诸天路永绝； 今日佛兴世， 三恶道殄灭。 增长天人众， 愿开甘露门； 令众心无著， 疾疾得涅槃。 我等诸梵王， 闻佛出世间； 今者得值佛， 无上大法王。 梵天宫殿盛， 身光亦明显； 普为十方众， 劝请大导师； 唯愿开甘露， 转无上法轮。’ “说此偈已，头面作礼，复更合掌殷勤三请：‘唯愿，世尊！转于甚深微妙法轮，为拔众生苦恼根栽，远离三毒，破四恶道不善之业。’ “尔时世尊为诸梵王，即便微笑出五色光，默然许之。时诸天子无数大众，闻佛许可，欢喜无量，遍体踊跃 现代汉语译本 ‘修行六度（paramita，到达彼岸的六种方法：布施、持戒、忍辱、精进、禅定、智慧），从今天开始，法海（dharma ocean，佛法的海洋）已经满了，建立法幢（dharma banner，佛法的旗帜）、击法鼓（dharma drum，宣扬佛法的鼓声）、吹法蠡（dharma conch，宣扬佛法的海螺声）、降法雨（dharma rain，佛法的甘露），现在正是为你们说法的时候。诸佛所转的八圣道轮（Eightfold Noble Path，达到涅槃的八种正确方法），诸天和世人都无法转动；它的意义平等，直至无上，无为寂灭，为众生断除长夜的痛苦；此法非常深奥，难以获得、难以进入、难以相信、难以理解，一切世间没有人能够知道、没有人能够见到，洗除心中的污垢，得到万种清净的行为。’ 说完这些话的时候，又有来自其他无数百千万亿个世界的天子、天女、大梵天王乘坐天宫殿，拿着天上的花和香供奉如来（Tathagata，佛的称号之一），绕百千圈，五体投地合掌劝请；诸天的伎乐不敲自鸣。当时，各位梵王异口同声，说了这样的偈语： ‘无量无数岁，空过无有佛；众生堕恶道，世间眼目灭。 三恶道增广，诸天路永绝；今日佛兴世，三恶道殄灭。 增长天人众，愿开甘露门；令众心无著，疾疾得涅槃。 我等诸梵王，闻佛出世间；今者得值佛，无上大法王。 梵天宫殿盛，身光亦明显；普为十方众，劝请大导师； 唯愿开甘露，转无上法轮。’ 说完这些偈语后，他们头面着地行礼，又再次合掌殷勤地三番劝请：‘唯愿，世尊（World-Honored One，佛的尊称）！转动这甚深微妙的法轮（dharma wheel，佛法的象征），为了拔除众生痛苦的根源，远离贪嗔痴三毒（three poisons，佛教中的三种根本烦恼），破除地狱、饿鬼、畜生、阿修罗四恶道（four evil destinies）不善的业。’ 当时，世尊为了各位梵王，就微笑放出五色光，默然地答应了他们的请求。当时无数的天子和大众，听到佛的许可，欢喜无量，遍身踊跃。

English version 'Practicing the Six Perfections (paramita, the six ways to reach the other shore: generosity, discipline, patience, diligence, concentration, and wisdom), starting from today, the Dharma Ocean (dharma ocean, the ocean of Buddha's teachings) is full. Establish the Dharma Banner (dharma banner, the flag of the Dharma), strike the Dharma Drum (dharma drum, the sound of proclaiming the Dharma), blow the Dharma Conch (dharma conch, the sound of proclaiming the Dharma), and rain the Dharma Rain (dharma rain, the nectar of the Dharma). Now is the time to expound the Dharma for you. The Eightfold Noble Path (Eightfold Noble Path, the eight correct ways to achieve Nirvana) turned by all the Buddhas cannot be turned by gods or humans; its meaning is equal, reaching up to the unsurpassed, non-active quiescence, to cut off the long night of suffering for all beings; this Dharma is very profound, difficult to obtain, difficult to enter, difficult to believe, and difficult to understand. No one in all the world can know it, no one can see it, washing away the defilements of the mind, obtaining myriad pure practices.' While saying these words, countless hundreds of thousands of millions of celestial beings, celestial maidens, and Great Brahma Kings from other worlds rode in celestial palaces, holding celestial flowers and incense to offer to the Tathagata (Tathagata, one of the titles of the Buddha), circling hundreds of thousands of times, prostrating with their five limbs on the ground, joining their palms, and earnestly requesting; the celestial music played without being struck. At that time, all the Brahma Kings spoke in unison, reciting this verse: 'For immeasurable countless years, have passed in vain without a Buddha; Beings fall into evil paths, the eyes of the world are extinguished. The three evil destinies increase and widen, the paths to the heavens are forever cut off; Today the Buddha arises in the world, the three evil destinies are annihilated. Increasing the multitude of gods and humans, may you open the gate of nectar; So that beings' minds are without attachment, and quickly attain Nirvana. We Brahma Kings, hearing of the Buddha's appearance in the world; Now we encounter the Buddha, the unsurpassed Dharma King. The Brahma heavens are magnificent, and our body's light is also clear; Universally for the beings of the ten directions, we earnestly request the Great Guide; May you open the nectar, and turn the unsurpassed Dharma Wheel.' After reciting this verse, they bowed with their heads and faces to the ground, and again joined their palms and earnestly requested three times: 'May the World-Honored One (World-Honored One, a respectful title for the Buddha) turn the profound and subtle Dharma Wheel (dharma wheel, the symbol of the Dharma), in order to uproot the source of suffering for beings, to be far from the three poisons (three poisons, the three fundamental afflictions in Buddhism) of greed, hatred, and delusion, and to destroy the unwholesome karma of the four evil destinies (four evil destinies) of hell, hungry ghosts, animals, and asuras.' At that time, the World-Honored One, for the sake of the Brahma Kings, then smiled and emitted five-colored light, silently granting their request. At that time, countless celestial beings and the great assembly, hearing the Buddha's permission, rejoiced immeasurably, and leaped with joy throughout their bodies. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

；譬如孝子新丧，慈父忽然还活，大众欢喜亦复如是。时诸天众右绕世尊，经无数匝，敬爱无厌，却住一面。 “尔时，大众皆作是念：‘虽复千亿岁受五欲乐，不能得免三恶道苦，妻子财产所不能救。世间无常，命难久保，我等今者，于佛法中净修梵行。’作是念已，复更念言：‘设受五欲经无数劫，如无想天寿无量亿岁，与诸婇女共相娱乐，受细滑触，会归磨灭，堕三恶道受无量苦。所乐无几，犹如幻化，盖不足言，入地狱时，大火洞然，百亿万劫受无量苦，求脱叵得？如此长夜，苦厄难拔，今日遇佛，宜勤精进。’ “时穰佉王高声唱言： “‘设复生天乐， 会亦归磨灭。 不久堕地狱， 犹如猛火聚。 我等宜时速， 出家学佛道。’ “说是语已，时穰佉王与八万四千大臣恭敬围绕；及四天王送转轮王，至花林园龙花树下，诣弥勒佛求索出家，为佛作礼，未举头顷，须发自落，袈裟着身，便成沙门。 “时，弥勒佛共穰佉王，与八万四千大臣、诸比丘等恭敬围绕，并与无数天龙八部，入翅头末城。足蹑门阃，娑婆世界六种震动，阎浮提地化为金色，翅头末大城中央，其地金刚，有过去诸佛所坐金刚宝座，自然踊出众宝行树。天于空中雨大宝华，龙王作众伎乐， 现代汉语译本：譬如孝子刚刚丧父，慈爱的父亲忽然复活，大众的欢喜也像这样。当时，诸天众围绕着世尊（Bhagavan，佛陀），转了无数圈，恭敬爱戴没有厌倦，然后退到一边站立。 当时，大众都这样想：‘即使享受千亿年的五欲之乐，也不能避免三恶道的痛苦，妻子财产都不能救助。世间无常，生命难以长久保持，我们现在，要在佛法中清净地修习梵行（brahmacarya，清净行）。’这样想了之后，又进一步想到：‘假设享受五欲经过无数劫，就像无想天（Asaññasatta，一种禅定境界）的寿命有无量亿岁，与众多婇女共同娱乐，感受细微滑腻的触感，最终也会归于磨灭，堕入三恶道遭受无量的痛苦。所得到的快乐很少，就像幻化一样，实在不值得一提，进入地狱的时候，大火燃烧，百亿万劫遭受无量的痛苦，想要脱离也无法得到。如此漫长的黑夜，痛苦灾难难以拔除，今天遇到佛陀，应该勤奋精进。’ 当时，穰佉王（Sankha，人名）高声唱道： ‘即使生到天界享受快乐，最终也会归于磨灭。 不久就会堕入地狱，就像猛烈的火堆一样。 我们应该及时迅速地，出家学习佛道。’ 说完这些话后，当时穰佉王与八万四千大臣恭敬地围绕着他；以及四大天王护送转轮王（Cakravartin，拥有统治世界的轮宝的国王），到达花林园龙华树下，去拜见弥勒佛（Maitreya，未来佛）请求出家，向佛作礼，还没抬起头的时候，须发自己脱落，袈裟穿在身上，就成了沙门（śrāmaṇa，出家修道者）。 当时，弥勒佛与穰佉王，以及八万四千大臣、各位比丘（bhiksu，出家男子）等恭敬地围绕着，并与无数的天龙八部（deva-nāga-yakṣa-gandharva-asura-garuḍa-kiṃnara-mahoraga，佛教的护法神）一起，进入翅头末城（Ketumatī，城市名）。脚踏入门槛的时候，娑婆世界（Sahā，我们所居住的世界）发生六种震动，阎浮提（Jambudvīpa，我们所居住的大陆）的大地化为金色，翅头末大城的中央，那块地方变成金刚（vajra，一种坚硬无比的物质），有过去诸佛所坐的金刚宝座，自然涌现出来，还有各种宝物排列成行的树木。天空中下着巨大的宝华，龙王演奏着各种乐器。

English version: For example, like a filial son who has just lost his father, and the loving father suddenly comes back to life, the joy of the multitude is also like this. At that time, the assembly of devas (celestial beings) circumambulated the World-Honored One (Bhagavan, the Buddha) countless times, with reverence and love without weariness, and then stood to one side. At that time, the multitude all thought: 'Even if we enjoy the pleasures of the five desires for billions of years, we cannot avoid the suffering of the three evil realms, and wives and property cannot save us. The world is impermanent, and life is difficult to preserve for long. Now, we must purely cultivate brahmacarya (pure conduct) in the Buddha-dharma.' After thinking this, they further thought: 'Suppose we enjoy the five desires for countless kalpas (eons), like the lifespan of the Asaññasatta (a realm of formless beings) which is immeasurable billions of years, and enjoy ourselves with numerous consorts, experiencing subtle and smooth sensations, eventually we will return to annihilation, fall into the three evil realms and suffer immeasurable pain. The pleasure obtained is little, like an illusion, and not worth mentioning. When entering hell, the great fire burns, and for hundreds of billions of kalpas we suffer immeasurable pain, seeking escape but unable to obtain it. Such a long night, the suffering and calamity are difficult to eradicate. Today we have encountered the Buddha, we should diligently strive forward.' At that time, King Sankha (a personal name) loudly proclaimed: 'Even if we are born in the heavens to enjoy pleasure, eventually we will return to annihilation. Before long, we will fall into hell, like a fierce fire. We should quickly and promptly renounce the world and study the Buddha-dharma.' After saying these words, King Sankha, surrounded by eighty-four thousand ministers with reverence; and the Four Heavenly Kings escorted the Cakravartin (wheel-turning king, a king who possesses the wheel jewel that enables him to rule the world), to the Dragon Flower Tree in the Flower Garden, to see Maitreya Buddha (the future Buddha) and request to renounce the world, paying homage to the Buddha. Before he could raise his head, his hair and beard fell off by themselves, the kāṣāya (monk's robe) was on his body, and he became a śrāmaṇa (ascetic). At that time, Maitreya Buddha, together with King Sankha, the eighty-four thousand ministers, and the bhikshus (monks), etc., respectfully surrounded, and together with countless deva-nāga-yakṣa-gandharva-asura-garuḍa-kiṃnara-mahoraga (the eight classes of protectors of Buddhism), entered the city of Ketumatī (city name). When his foot stepped on the threshold, the Sahā world (the world we live in) shook in six ways, the earth of Jambudvīpa (the continent we live on) transformed into gold, and in the center of the great city of Ketumatī, that place became vajra (diamond-like substance), and the vajra throne on which the Buddhas of the past had sat naturally emerged, as well as trees lined with various treasures. The heavens rained down great precious flowers, and the Dragon Kings played various musical instruments. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
