English version: 'May you examine and explain the meaning in detail, the Buddha's words are without any difference. Cut off all doubts in the six assemblies, why does the perfectly enlightened Buddha smile now?' 'Hearing the Buddha's words, everyone rejoices, countless people leap up.' The Buddha said to the wise Ananda: 'Have you seen that son of the Jayamala (garland of victory) family, leaping in the void, four fathoms and nine feet from the ground, abiding in the air having attained Dharma-kshanti (acceptance of the truth), with hands clasped, standing and bowing to me, hundreds of thousands of devas (gods) coming to make offerings together.' Ananda replied: 'Yes, I have seen it, World Honored One!' The Buddha told Ananda: 'This son of the Jayamala family has already served seventy-two billion Buddhas, cultivated good deeds and accumulated merit, often acting as a Chakravartin (wheel-turning king), all serving the Buddhas, World Honored Ones. After the Buddhas' Parinirvana (complete extinction), in the places of all seventy-two billion Buddhas, he established pure Brahma-conduct, all protecting the Buddhas' Dharma (teachings).' The Buddha said: 'Ananda! This son of the Jayamala family will in the future meet and serve as many Tathagatas (Thus Come Ones) as five Ganges sands, making offerings, attending to and expounding pure conduct, and will teach countless Bodhisattvas, then accumulate the methods of awakening intention, and after countless kalpas (eons) will attain Buddhahood, named Wisdom King Tathagata (Jnana Raja Tathagata), without attachment, Samyak-sambuddha (perfectly enlightened), teaching in the world, possessing complete wisdom and conduct, Teacher of Gods and Humans, unsurpassed being, tamer of men, honored above all in heaven and earth, Buddha, God of Gods, his world is called Joyful Vision (Nandadarshana), the kalpa is called One Treasure Adornment (Ekaratna-vyuha).' The Buddha told Ananda: 'That Joyful Vision world is like the sixth heaven of Paranirmitavasavartin (the heaven of those who delight in transforming things created by others), the place where the people of the Joyful Vision Buddha-land live and the offerings they receive are also like that. These people, no laws of the six sense-fields come before them, all people see each other, all are joyful and happy, seeing Wisdom King Tathagata all are delighted, therefore that world is called Joyful Vision. At that time, the Tathagata teaches for one kalpa to do Buddha-work, his Samyak-sambuddha life is also one kalpa, therefore that kalpa is called One Treasure Adornment. That World Honored One only has pure Bodhisattvas as his assembly, ninety-two billion Bodhisattvas will not regress, these Bodhisattvas attain unobstructed wisdom.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

,起光德本。其慧王如来欲般泥洹,有菩萨名曰师子过而行,当受彼决:‘我般泥曰已后,是师子过而行菩萨当得佛,亦号师子过而行如来、在世间教授。彼如来般泥曰已后,其法住十小劫,其如来舍利并合俱起一塔,广长二千四百里,高三千二百里,皆以七宝作塔,众人悉各各共供养塔。’”   于是阇耶末族姓子,从虚空来下,前稽首佛足,住世尊前说法界无所坏,以偈而赞佛曰: “我种及法界,  人土亦俱等,  是界为慧疆,  以此授吾决。  法界及尘劳,  空种亦平等,  一切法如是,  我为已至法。  法疆淫欲种,  瞋怒亦如此,  虚空界为同,  以此授吾决。  生死无为土,  法界而无异,  水种为如是,  及火土亦然。  阴疆与界法,  眼识诸有分,  意部法境界,  诸分数悉定。  其诸有为种,  亦并无为界,  不见法有二,  则为授吾决。  世尊无五阴,  四大及诸入,  无名亦无色,  亦不有内外,  佛以音声说,  而授于我决,  于此悉寂寞,  以是定受决。  佛者无有意,  如此授吾决,  我者无有识,  佛为授我决,  此决为诚谛,  如是则平等。  法界无所坏,  即如来无住,  等觉诸天 现代汉语译本: ‘起光德本(Qi Guang De Ben)。’慧王如来(Hui Wang Ru Lai)想要般涅槃(ban nie pan)时,有一位菩萨名叫师子过而行(Shi Zi Guo Er Xing)正在行走,将要接受他的授记:‘我般涅槃之后,这位师子过而行菩萨将会成佛,也号为师子过而行如来(Shi Zi Guo Er Xing Ru Lai),在世间教授。’这位如来般涅槃之后,他的佛法将住世十小劫(shi xiao jie),这位如来的舍利将会全部聚集起来,共同建造一座塔,宽二千四百里,高三千二百里,全部用七宝建造,众人都会各自供养这座塔。 于是,阇耶末(She Ye Mo)族姓子从虚空中降下,来到佛前,顶礼佛足,住在世尊前,宣说法界(fa jie)没有毁坏,用偈颂赞叹佛说: ‘我的种子和法界,人土也都是一样的,这个界是智慧的疆域,用这个给我授记。 法界和尘劳,空种也是平等的,一切法都是这样,我已经到达了这种法。 法的疆域、淫欲的种子,嗔怒也是如此,虚空界是相同的,用这个给我授记。 生死和无为土,法界没有差异,水种是这样,火土也是这样。 阴的疆域和界的法,眼识各种有,意部的法境界,各种分数都已确定。 各种有为的种子,也和无为的界一样,不见法有二,就给我授记。 世尊没有五阴(wu yin),四大(si da)和各种入,没有名也没有色,也没有内外。 佛用音声说,而给我授记,在这里都寂寞,用这个确定授记。 佛没有意,这样给我授记,我没有识,佛给我授记,这个授记是诚实的,这样就平等了。 法界没有毁坏,就是如来没有住处,等觉诸天(deng jue zhu tian)。’

English version: 'Qi Guang De Ben (the root of virtue that arises from light).’ When the Tathagata Hui Wang (King of Wisdom) desired to enter Parinirvana (complete extinction), there was a Bodhisattva named Shi Zi Guo Er Xing (Lion Exceeding in Conduct) walking by, about to receive his prediction: ‘After I enter Parinirvana, this Bodhisattva Shi Zi Guo Er Xing will attain Buddhahood, also named Tathagata Shi Zi Guo Er Xing (Lion Exceeding in Conduct), teaching in the world.’ After this Tathagata enters Parinirvana, his Dharma will remain in the world for ten small kalpas (aeons), and the relics of this Tathagata will all gather together to build a pagoda, 2,400 li (Chinese miles) wide and 3,200 li high, all made of the seven treasures, and everyone will make offerings to this pagoda. Then, the son of the She Ye Mo (Jaya) clan descended from the void, prostrated himself at the Buddha's feet, and stood before the World Honored One, proclaiming that the Dharma Realm (Dharmadhatu) is indestructible, and praised the Buddha with verses, saying: ‘My seed and the Dharma Realm, the land of humans are also the same, this realm is the territory of wisdom, with this give me the prediction. The Dharma Realm and defilements, the seed of emptiness are also equal, all dharmas are like this, I have already arrived at this dharma. The territory of Dharma, the seed of lust, anger is also like this, the realm of empty space is the same, with this give me the prediction. Birth and death and the unconditioned land, the Dharma Realm has no difference, the seed of water is like this, and so are fire and earth. The territory of the skandhas (aggregates) and the dharma of the realms, eye consciousness and all existence, the Dharma realm of the mind department, all the divisions are determined. All conditioned seeds, are also like the unconditioned realm, not seeing that dharmas are two, then give me the prediction. The World Honored One has no five skandhas (aggregates), the four great elements (earth, water, fire, wind) and all entrances, without name and without form, and without inside and outside. The Buddha speaks with sound, and gives me the prediction, here all is silent, with this determine the prediction. The Buddha has no intention, thus give me the prediction, I have no consciousness, the Buddha gives me the prediction, this prediction is truthful, thus it is equal. The Dharma Realm is indestructible, that is, the Tathagata has no dwelling place, the equally enlightened devas (gods).’ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 人,  正立于正法,  寂然如虚空,  权慧善具足。”

尔时,阇耶末族姓子,以此偈赞佛已,绕三匝却坐一面。于是,佛告贤者阿难:“受是经,讽诵赞,广为他人说之。”   阿难白佛:“唯然受已,是经名曰何等?云何奉行?”   佛言:“是经名曰‘文殊师利所现变化降伏众魔化诸异学奉受正法赞说经义’,名曰‘宝藏’,当奉持之。”   佛说如是,文殊师利童子、阇耶末菩萨、贤者阿难,诸天人、阿须伦、世间人民,闻经欢喜,皆前为佛稽首作礼而退。   文殊师利现宝藏经卷下 现代汉语译本 ‘人,   正直地安住于正法之中,   寂静得如同虚空一般,   权巧的智慧善巧地具足。’ 当时,阇耶末族姓子(Jayamāla-gotraputra),用这首偈颂赞叹佛陀之后,绕佛三圈,然后退坐在一旁。于是,佛陀告诉贤者阿难(Ānanda): ‘接受这部经,背诵赞扬,广泛地为他人宣说。’ 阿难(Ānanda)禀告佛陀: ‘我已接受。这部经名叫什么?应当如何奉行?’ 佛陀说: ‘这部经名为《文殊师利所现变化降伏众魔化诸异学奉受正法赞说经义》,也名为《宝藏》,应当奉持它。’ 佛陀说完这些话,文殊师利(Manjusri)童子、阇耶末(Jayamāla)菩萨、贤者阿难(Ānanda),以及诸天人、阿修罗(Asura)、世间人民,听闻此经后都非常欢喜,都上前向佛陀叩首作礼,然后退下。 《文殊师利现宝藏经》卷下

English version ‘A person, Standing upright in the True Dharma, Silent like the void, Skillful wisdom well-endowed.’ At that time, Jayamāla-gotraputra, having praised the Buddha with this verse, circumambulated him three times and then sat down to one side. Thereupon, the Buddha said to the worthy Ānanda: ‘Receive this sutra, recite and praise it, and widely proclaim it to others.’ Ānanda said to the Buddha: ‘I have received it. What is the name of this sutra? How should it be practiced?’ The Buddha said: ‘This sutra is named ‘Manjusri's Manifestation of Transformations, Subduing All Demons, Transforming All Heretics, Receiving the True Dharma, Praising and Explaining the Sutra's Meaning,’ and it is also named ‘Treasure Trove.’ You should uphold it.’ After the Buddha spoke thus, the youth Manjusri, the Bodhisattva Jayamāla, the worthy Ānanda, and all the devas, asuras, and people of the world, hearing this sutra, were filled with joy. They all came forward, bowed their heads to the Buddha, paid homage, and then withdrew.
