大众闻已，怪未曾有。八十亿人远尘离垢，于诸法中不受诸法，得阿罗汉；无数天人发菩提心，绕佛三匝，还从空下，为佛作礼，说有为法皆悉无常。辞佛而退，还耆阇崛山，本所住处；身上出火，入般涅槃。收身舍利，山顶起塔。 “弥勒佛叹言：‘大迦叶比丘，是释迦牟尼佛于大众中，常所赞叹头陀第一，通达禅定解脱三昧，是人虽有大神力而无高心，能令众生得大欢喜，常愍下贱贫苦众生。’ “弥勒佛叹大迦叶骨身言：‘善哉！大神德！释师子大弟子大迦叶！于彼恶世能修其心。’ “尔时，摩诃迦叶骨身即说偈言： “‘头陀是宝藏， 持戒为甘露。 能行头陀者， 必至不死地。 持戒得生天， 及与涅槃乐。’ “说此偈已，如琉璃水，还入塔中。” “尔时，说法之处，广八十由旬，长百由旬；其中人众，若坐若立，若近若远，各见佛在其前独为说法。 “弥勒佛住世六万亿岁，怜愍众生故，令得法眼；灭度之后，诸天世人，阇维佛身，时转轮王收取舍利，于四天下，各起八万四千塔；正法住世六万岁，像法二万岁。汝等宜应勤加精进，发清净心，起诸善业，得见世间灯明弥勒佛身必无疑也。” 佛说语已，尊者舍利弗、尊者阿难，即 现代汉语译本 大众听闻后，都感到惊异，前所未有。八十亿人远离尘垢，在一切法中不执著于任何法，证得阿罗汉果位（A luo han guo wei）；无数天人发起菩提心（Pu ti xin），绕佛三圈，然后从空中下来，向佛作礼，说一切有为法都是无常的。然后告别佛陀退去，回到耆阇崛山（Qi she jue shan），他们原本居住的地方；大迦叶（Da jia ye）身上发出火焰，进入般涅槃（Ban nie pan）。人们收集他的舍利，在山顶建造佛塔。 弥勒佛（Mi le fo）赞叹说：‘大迦叶比丘（Da jia ye bi qiu），是释迦牟尼佛（Shi jia mou ni fo）在大众中经常赞叹的头陀第一（Tou tuo di yi），通达禅定解脱三昧（Chan ding jie tuo san mei），这个人虽然有大神力却没有高傲之心，能让众生得到大欢喜，经常怜悯贫苦的众生。’ 弥勒佛（Mi le fo）赞叹大迦叶（Da jia ye）的骨身说：‘善哉！大神德！释迦狮子（Shi jia shi zi）的大弟子大迦叶（Da jia ye）！在那个恶世能够修持自己的心。’ 这时，摩诃迦叶（Mo he jia ye）的骨身就说了偈语： ‘头陀是宝藏， 持戒为甘露。 能行头陀者， 必至不死地。 持戒得生天， 及与涅槃乐。’ 说完这偈语后，像琉璃水一样，又回到塔中。 这时，说法的地方，宽八十由旬（You xun），长一百由旬（You xun）；其中的人众，或坐或立，或近或远，都各自看见佛在他们面前独自说法。 弥勒佛（Mi le fo）住世六万亿岁，因为怜悯众生的缘故，使他们得到法眼；灭度之后，诸天世人，荼毗佛身，当时转轮王（Zhuan lun wang）收取舍利，在四天下（Si tian xia），各建造八万四千座塔；正法住世六万年，像法二万年。你们应该勤加精进，发起清净心，行持各种善业，得见世间灯明弥勒佛（Deng ming Mi le fo）的身相必定没有疑问。’ 佛说完这些话后，尊者舍利弗（Zun zhe She li fu）、尊者阿难（Zun zhe A nan），就……

English version Having heard this, the assembly marveled at what they had never experienced before. Eighty billion people were cleansed of dust and defilements, not grasping at any dharmas within all dharmas, and attained the state of Arhat (A luo han guo wei); countless devas and humans aroused the Bodhi mind (Pu ti xin), circumambulated the Buddha three times, and then descended from the sky, prostrating before the Buddha, saying that all conditioned dharmas are impermanent. They then took their leave from the Buddha and returned to Mount Gridhrakuta (Qi she jue shan), their original dwelling place; Mahakashyapa (Da jia ye)'s body emitted flames and entered Parinirvana (Ban nie pan). People collected his relics and built a stupa on the mountain peak. Maitreya Buddha (Mi le fo) exclaimed: 'Bhikkhu Mahakashyapa (Da jia ye bi qiu) is the foremost among ascetics, constantly praised by Shakyamuni Buddha (Shi jia mou ni fo) in the assembly, mastering the samadhi of meditative concentration and liberation (Chan ding jie tuo san mei). Although this person possesses great spiritual power, he has no arrogance and can bring great joy to sentient beings, always compassionate towards the poor and suffering.' Maitreya Buddha (Mi le fo) praised the skeletal remains of Mahakashyapa (Da jia ye), saying: 'Excellent! Great spiritual virtue! Great disciple Mahakashyapa (Da jia ye) of the Shakya Lion (Shi jia shi zi)! In that evil age, he was able to cultivate his mind.' At that time, the skeletal remains of Mahakashyapa (Mo he jia ye) spoke the following verse: 'Asceticism is a treasure trove, Holding precepts is like sweet dew. Those who practice asceticism, Will surely reach the land of immortality. Holding precepts leads to rebirth in the heavens, And the joy of Nirvana.' After speaking this verse, like crystal-clear water, it returned into the stupa. At that time, the place where the Dharma was being preached was eighty yojanas (You xun) wide and one hundred yojanas (You xun) long; the people within it, whether sitting or standing, near or far, each saw the Buddha individually preaching the Dharma before them. Maitreya Buddha (Mi le fo) will abide in the world for six hundred trillion years, out of compassion for sentient beings, enabling them to attain the Dharma eye; after his Parinirvana, devas and humans will cremate the Buddha's body, and at that time, the Chakravartin King (Zhuan lun wang) will collect the relics and build eighty-four thousand stupas in each of the four continents (Si tian xia); the Proper Dharma will abide in the world for sixty thousand years, and the Semblance Dharma for twenty thousand years. You should diligently strive, arouse a pure mind, perform various virtuous deeds, and there will be no doubt that you will see the body of Dipankara Maitreya Buddha (Deng ming Mi le fo) in the world.' After the Buddha spoke these words, Venerable Shariputra (Zun zhe She li fu), Venerable Ananda (Zun zhe A nan), then... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

从座起，为佛作礼，胡跪合掌，白佛言：“世尊！当何名斯经？云何奉持之？” 佛告阿难：“汝好忆持，普为天人分别演说，莫作最后断法人耶。此法之要，名一切众生断五逆种，净除业障、报障、烦恼障，修习慈心与弥勒共行，如是受持；亦名一切众生得闻弥勒佛名，必免五浊世，不堕恶道经，如是受持；亦名破恶口业，心如莲花，定见弥勒佛经，如是受持；亦名慈心不杀、不食肉经，如是受持；亦名释迦牟尼佛以衣为信经，如是受持；亦名若有闻佛名，决定得免八难经，如是受持；亦名弥勒成佛经，如是受持。” 佛告舍利弗：“佛灭度后，比丘、比丘尼、优婆塞、优婆夷、天龙八部鬼神等，得闻此经，受持、读诵、礼拜、供养，恭敬法师，破一切业障、报障、烦恼障，得见弥勒及贤劫千佛，三种菩提随愿成就，不受女人身，正见出家，得大解脱。” 说是语已，时诸大众闻佛所说，皆大欢喜，礼佛而退。 佛说弥勒大成佛经 现代汉语译本：当时，有一位从座位上站起来，向佛陀行礼，以右膝着地，合起手掌，对佛说：‘世尊！这部经应当叫什么名字？我们应该如何奉行和受持它呢？’ 佛陀告诉阿难（Ananda）：‘你要好好记住，普遍地为天人和世人分别解说这部经，不要成为断绝佛法的最后一人。这部经的要义，名为一切众生断五逆种（destroying the seeds of the five heinous crimes for all beings），清净消除业障（karmic obstacles）、报障（retributional obstacles）、烦恼障（afflictive obstacles），修习慈悲心与弥勒（Maitreya）一同修行，就这样受持；也名为一切众生得闻弥勒佛名，必定免除五浊世（the five defilements），不堕入恶道的经，就这样受持；也名为破除恶口业，心如莲花般清净，必定能见到弥勒佛的经，就这样受持；也名为慈心不杀生、不吃肉的经，就这样受持；也名为释迦牟尼佛（Sakyamuni Buddha）以袈裟为信物的经，就这样受持；也名为若有人听闻佛名，必定能免除八难（the eight difficulties）的经，就这样受持；也名为弥勒成佛的经，就这样受持。’ 佛陀告诉舍利弗（Sariputra）：‘佛陀灭度后，比丘（bhikshus，monks）、比丘尼（bhikshunis，nuns）、优婆塞（upasakas，male lay devotees）、优婆夷（upasikas，female lay devotees）、天龙八部（the eight classes of gods and demigods）、鬼神等，如果能听闻此经，受持、读诵、礼拜、供养，恭敬法师，就能破除一切业障、报障、烦恼障，得见弥勒以及贤劫千佛（the thousand Buddhas of the Bhadrakalpa），三种菩提（three kinds of enlightenment）随愿成就，不受女人身，以正见出家，得到大解脱。’ 说完这些话后，当时的大众听闻佛陀所说，都非常欢喜，向佛陀行礼后退下。 佛说弥勒大成佛经

English version: Then, one person rose from their seat, bowed to the Buddha, knelt on their right knee, joined their palms, and said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One! What should this sutra be called? How should we uphold and practice it?' The Buddha told Ananda: 'You should remember it well, and universally explain this sutra separately for gods and humans, do not become the last person to cut off the Dharma. The essence of this Dharma is named 'Destroying the seeds of the five heinous crimes for all beings', purifying and eliminating karmic obstacles, retributional obstacles, afflictive obstacles, cultivating loving-kindness and practicing together with Maitreya, thus uphold it; it is also named 'All beings who hear the name of Maitreya Buddha will surely be spared from the five defilements and will not fall into evil paths', thus uphold it; it is also named 'Breaking evil speech karma, with a mind as pure as a lotus flower, one will surely see Maitreya Buddha', thus uphold it; it is also named 'The sutra of loving-kindness, not killing, and not eating meat', thus uphold it; it is also named 'Sakyamuni Buddha using his robe as a token of faith', thus uphold it; it is also named 'If anyone hears the name of the Buddha, they will surely be spared from the eight difficulties', thus uphold it; it is also named 'The sutra of Maitreya becoming a Buddha', thus uphold it.' The Buddha told Sariputra: 'After the Buddha's Parinirvana, if bhikshus (monks), bhikshunis (nuns), upasakas (male lay devotees), upasikas (female lay devotees), the eight classes of gods and demigods, ghosts, and spirits can hear this sutra, uphold, recite, prostrate, make offerings, and respect the Dharma teachers, they will break all karmic obstacles, retributional obstacles, afflictive obstacles, see Maitreya and the thousand Buddhas of the Bhadrakalpa, the three kinds of enlightenment will be achieved according to their wishes, they will not receive a female body, ordain with right view, and attain great liberation.' After saying these words, the assembly at that time heard what the Buddha said, and they were all very happy, bowed to the Buddha, and withdrew.
