English version The Sutra of Manjusri's Parinirvana Spoken by the Buddha Translated by Layman Nie Daozhen of the Western Jin Dynasty Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was in the Jeta Grove Anathapindika-arama (Jetavana Anathapindika-arama) in Sravasti (Sravasti), together with eight thousand great Bhikshu (Bhikshu) monks, including the elders Sariputra (Sariputra), Mahamudgalyayana (Mahamaudgalyayana), Mahakasyapa (Mahakasyapa), Mahakatyayana (Mahakatyayana), and others who were the foremost among the assembly; there were also sixteen Bodhisattva-Mahasattvas (Bodhisattva-Mahasattva), with Maitreya (Maitreya) as the leader of the thousand Bodhisattvas of the Bhadrakalpa (Bhadrakalpa); and there were also twelve hundred Bodhisattvas from other worlds, with Avalokitesvara (Avalokitesvara) as their leader. At that time, the World-Honored-One, in the later part of the night, entered into a Samadhi (Samadhi) called 'All Light'. Having entered the Samadhi, his entire body emitted golden light, which was very intense, illuminating the Jeta Grove (Jetavana) as if it were golden, swirling and turning to illuminate Manjusri's (Manjusri) room, transforming into seven layers of golden platforms, with five hundred manifested Buddhas walking back and forth on each platform. At that time, in front of Manjusri's (Manjusri) room, five hundred seven-jeweled lotus flowers naturally manifested, round like chariot wheels, with silver stems, Amochata agate as the base, and multi-colored pearls as the flower stamens, the light of the flowers illuminating the Buddha's Vihara (Vihara), emanating from the Vihara and returning to Manjusri's (Manjusri) room. At that time, in the assembly, there was a Bodhisattva-Mahasattva (Bodhisattva-Mahasattva) named Bhadra-pala (Bhadra-pala), when this auspicious sign appeared, Bhadra-pala (Bhadra-pala) immediately came out of his room, paid homage to the Buddha's Vihara, arrived at Ananda's (Ananda) room, and told Ananda (Ananda): 'You should know that the time has come, tonight the World-Honored-One is manifesting miraculous signs, for the benefit of sentient beings, therefore he will speak the wonderful Dharma, you should strike the Ghandi (Ghandi).' At that time, Ananda (Ananda) reported: 'Great being! The World-Honored-One is now entering deep Samadhi, without the Buddha's decree, how can we gather the assembly?' As Ananda (Ananda) was saying these words, Sariputra (Sariputra) came to Ananda's (Ananda) place and told him: 'Dharma brother! It is appropriate to gather the assembly in a timely manner.' At that time, Ananda (Ananda) entered the Buddha's Vihara, for the Buddha... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

礼,未举头顷,空中有声告阿难言:“速集众僧。”   阿难闻已,即大欢喜,鸣揵椎集众,如此音声遍舍卫国,上闻有顶,释梵护世天王与无数天子,将天花香诣祇陀林。   尔时,世尊从三昧起,即便微笑,有五色光从佛口出,此光出时,祇洹精舍变成琉璃。   尔时,文殊师利法王子,入佛精舍为佛作礼,一一膝上生五莲华,文殊佛前合指掌时,手十指端及手掌文,出十千金色莲花以散佛上,化成七宝大盖,悬诸幢幡,十方无量诸佛菩萨映现盖中,绕佛三匝,却住一面。   尔时,跋陀波罗即从座起整衣服,为佛作礼,长跪合掌白佛言:“世尊!是文殊师利法王子,已曾亲近百千诸佛,在此娑婆世界施作佛事,于十方面变现自在,却后久远当般涅槃。”   佛告跋陀波罗:“此文殊师利有大慈悲,生于此国多罗聚落梵德婆罗门家。其生之时,家内屋宅化如莲华,从母右胁出,身紫金色,堕地能语如天童子,有七宝盖随覆其上。诣诸仙人求出家法,诸婆罗门九十五种、诸论议师无能酬对,唯于我所出家学道,住首楞严三昧,以此三昧力故,于十方面——或现初生、出家、灭度、入般涅槃、现分舍利——饶益众生。如是大士久住首楞严,佛涅槃后四百五十岁,当至雪山,为五百仙人宣畅敷演十 现代汉语译本:礼毕,还未抬头的时候,空中传来声音告诉阿难(Ananda,佛陀的十大弟子之一)说:‘快点召集僧众。’ 阿难听了之后,非常欢喜,敲击揵椎(ghanta,一种法器)召集僧众,这种声音传遍舍卫国(Sravasti,古印度城市),上达有顶天(Akanistha,色界天的最高层),释梵护世天王(Indra, Brahma, Lokapala,佛教中的天神)与无数天子,带着天花香来到祇陀林(Jetavana,佛陀常住的精舍)。 这时,世尊(Bhagavan,佛陀的称号)从三昧(samadhi,禅定)中起身,就露出微笑,有五色光芒从佛口中发出,这光芒出现时,祇洹精舍(Jetavana-vihara,祇陀林中的精舍)变成了琉璃一般。 这时,文殊师利法王子(Manjusri,象征智慧的菩萨),进入佛的精舍为佛作礼,每一个膝盖上都生出五朵莲花,文殊(Manjusri)在佛前合起手掌时,手的十个指尖以及手掌的纹路中,都涌现出十千朵金色莲花,散在佛的上方,化成七宝大伞,悬挂着各种幢幡(dhvaja-pataka,佛教的旗帜),十方无量诸佛菩萨映现在伞盖之中,围绕佛三圈,然后退到一边。 这时,跋陀波罗(Bhadrapala,十六善神之一)立即从座位上起身,整理衣服,为佛作礼,长跪合掌对佛说:‘世尊!这位文殊师利法王子(Manjusri),曾经亲近百千诸佛,在这娑婆世界(Saha world,我们所居住的现实世界)施行佛事,在十个方面变现自在,在很久以后将会般涅槃(parinirvana,完全的涅槃)。’ 佛告诉跋陀波罗(Bhadrapala)说:‘这位文殊师利(Manjusri)有大慈悲心,出生在这个国家的多罗聚落(Todala village)梵德婆罗门(Brahmin Vantaka)家。他出生的时候,家里的房屋都化为莲花,从母亲的右胁出生,身体是紫金色,落地就能说话,像天上的童子一样,有七宝伞盖跟随覆盖在他头上。他去向各位仙人寻求出家之法,各位婆罗门(Brahmin)的九十五种学说、各位论议师都无法回答他,只有在我这里出家学道,安住于首楞严三昧(Surangama-samadhi,一种高级禅定),凭借这种三昧的力量,在十个方面——或者示现初生、出家、灭度、进入般涅槃(parinirvana)、示现分舍利(sarira,佛教圣物)——饶益众生。’像这样的大士长久安住于首楞严(Surangama),佛涅槃后四百五十岁,将会到达雪山,为五百仙人宣扬阐述十

English version: After the prostration, before even raising his head, a voice in the air announced to Ananda (one of the ten principal disciples of the Buddha): 'Quickly gather the Sangha (Buddhist monastic community).' Upon hearing this, Ananda was overjoyed and struck the ghanta (a type of ritual instrument) to assemble the Sangha. This sound reverberated throughout Sravasti (an ancient Indian city), reaching even the Akanistha heaven (the highest realm of the Form Realm). Indra, Brahma, and the Lokapalas (guardian deities) along with countless devas (gods) brought celestial flowers and incense to Jetavana (a monastery where the Buddha often stayed). At that moment, the Bhagavan (a title for the Buddha) arose from samadhi (meditative absorption) and smiled. Five-colored rays of light emanated from the Buddha's mouth. When this light appeared, the Jetavana-vihara (the monastery in Jetavana) transformed into something like lapis lazuli. Then, Manjusri, the Dharma Prince (a Bodhisattva symbolizing wisdom), entered the Buddha's monastery to pay homage to the Buddha. Five lotus flowers grew on each of his knees. When Manjusri joined his palms before the Buddha, ten thousand golden lotus flowers emerged from the tips of his ten fingers and the lines of his palms, scattering over the Buddha, transforming into a seven-jeweled canopy, adorned with various dhvaja-patakas (Buddhist banners). Limitless Buddhas and Bodhisattvas from the ten directions were reflected in the canopy, circumambulating the Buddha three times before retreating to one side. At that time, Bhadrapala (one of the sixteen virtuous deities) immediately rose from his seat, adjusted his robes, prostrated before the Buddha, knelt with palms joined, and said to the Buddha: 'Bhagavan! This Manjusri, the Dharma Prince, has already been close to hundreds of thousands of Buddhas, performing Buddha-deeds in this Saha world (the world we live in), manifesting freely in the ten directions, and will eventually attain parinirvana (complete nirvana) after a long time.' The Buddha told Bhadrapala: 'This Manjusri has great compassion. He was born in this country in the Todala village in the Brahmin Vantaka family. At the time of his birth, the houses in his home transformed into lotus flowers. He was born from his mother's right side, his body was purple-gold, and he could speak as soon as he touched the ground, like a celestial child, with a seven-jeweled canopy following and covering him. He sought the Dharma of renunciation from various ascetics, but none of the ninety-five schools of Brahmins (Brahmin) or the various debaters could answer him. Only with me did he renounce the world and study the Way, abiding in the Surangama-samadhi (a high level of meditative absorption). By the power of this samadhi, in the ten directions—sometimes manifesting birth, renunciation, extinction, entering parinirvana, manifesting the distribution of sarira (Buddhist relics)—he benefits sentient beings.' Such a great being will abide in Surangama for a long time. Four hundred and fifty years after the Buddha's nirvana, he will arrive at the Snow Mountains to proclaim and expound the ten --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
