English version: Among them, there was a person who spoke to all beings: 'Do not be afraid, I will now bear the suffering of this great hell for each of you individually.' Immediately, this person delivered the beings from hell, each of them enduring the suffering of hell for many millions of years. Ananda (Ananda, one of the ten principal disciples of the Buddha)! What do you think? Did this person perform a great benefit and great happiness?' Ananda (Ananda) replied: 'World-Honored One (Bhagavan, a respectful title for the Buddha)! It was a great benefit and great happiness.' 'Ananda (Ananda)! After this person delivered all the beings, he manifested his power, enabling them all to achieve the foremost happiness in the world. Ananda (Ananda)! Is this person capable of bestowing grace and giving happiness to beings?' Ananda (Ananda) replied: 'World-Honored One (Bhagavan)! The benefit brought by this person cannot be described in words.' 'Ananda (Ananda)! I am now truly speaking of Bhadra-pala (Bhadra-pala, a Bodhisattva) and Karahadatta Bodhisattva (Karahadatta Bodhisattva) and others who benefit beings. These people benefit beings, and these two kinds of beneficial and joyful deeds cannot be compared with arithmetic or metaphors. Why? Ananda (Ananda)! The instruments of happiness of these people are all conditioned and contradictory dharmas, which cannot satisfy people, cannot liberate people from desires, cannot enable people to gain wisdom, cannot enable people to attain the fruit of a Sramana, and cannot enable people to reach Nirvana (Nirvana, a Buddhist term referring to liberation).' 'Ananda (Ananda)! These Bodhisattvas (Bodhisattva, refers to practitioners who aspire to become Buddhas) and others benefit beings and give supreme happiness. The happiness of the All-Knowing One (Sarvajna, refers to the Buddha) is for those who seek the path to Buddhahood, and they all do the work of the Buddha. Those who have not entered the right position are enabled to attain the state of Sravaka (Sravaka, disciples who practice by listening to the Buddha's teachings) and Pratyekabuddha (Pratyekabuddha, also known as a solitary Buddha), and they transform the Bodhisattvas (Bodhisattva) with the Buddha's teachings, showing them instruction and making them benefit and rejoice. Ananda (Ananda)! These Bodhisattvas (Bodhisattva) are able to show instruction to the Bodhisattva (Bodhisattva) assembly, making them benefit and rejoice, in order to not cut off the Buddha-seed, in order to protect the seed of All-Knowing (Sarvajna), and they abide in the world.' 'Ananda (Ananda)! When these people practiced the Bodhisattva path in the past, for immeasurable hundreds of thousands of millions of nayutas of kalpas, they all caused Buddhas to appear without interruption, and also in the future for immeasurable hundreds of thousands of millions of nayutas of kalpas, they will all cause Buddhas to appear without interruption. Why? Ananda (Ananda)! When these Bodhisattvas (Bodhisattva) practiced the Bodhisattva path in the past, they had already caused immeasurable Buddhas to abide in the Buddha path. These Bodhisattvas (Bodhisattva) protect, uphold, teach, and transform hundreds of thousands of millions of Buddhas in every lifetime, enabling them all to attain Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi (Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi, unsurpassed perfect enlightenment).' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

藐三菩提。从是以后，亦复教化无数百千万亿众生令住佛道，教化力故具足佛法，亦皆当得阿耨多罗三藐三菩提。 “阿难！是跋陀婆罗等，为与众生佛乐、一切智慧乐故勤行精进。阿难！若人实说：‘何等是诸菩萨父母、救、舍、依、洲、生？’诸菩萨当说是跋陀婆罗伽罗诃达多等五百菩萨是。 “阿难！若人实问：‘何等是诸菩萨种？’当言跋陀婆罗伽罗诃达多等五百人是。如是善男子等，为不断佛种、不断一切智慧种故，住于世间。是善男子等，亦于后世后五百岁，以是教化方便力故，以乐因缘令诸众生不堕三恶道中，亦令无量百千众生住菩萨乘。 “阿难！若干千佛说是善男子等功德不可得尽。何以故？是善男子等成就如是不可思议功德。 “阿难！我于无量百千万亿阿僧祇劫所集法藏，是善男子等能受护持。阿难！我今以是无量亿劫所集法宝嘱累是人，是善男子等，为无量阿僧祇国土中现在诸佛之所护念。 “阿难！是善男子等，一切天人世间所应礼事。阿难！是人十方千佛讲说法时常所赞叹。 “阿难！我已印可，为断一切众生疑故。若人于后末世，受持是经读诵通利为人广说，当知是善男子、善女人近一切种智，有人于后末世乃至得闻如是深经，信解而发誓愿， 现代汉语译本：阿耨多罗三藐三菩提（Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi，无上正等正觉）。从那时以后，他们也教化了无数百千万亿的众生，使他们安住于佛道，因为教化的力量而具足佛法，也都将证得阿耨多罗三藐三菩提（Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi，无上正等正觉）。 ‘阿难（Ananda）！这些跋陀婆罗（Bhadra-pala）等人，为了给予众生佛的快乐、一切智慧的快乐而勤奋精进。阿难（Ananda）！如果有人确实问：‘谁是诸位菩萨的父母、救护者、施舍者、依靠者、洲渚、生养者？’诸位菩萨应当说这些跋陀婆罗（Bhadra-pala）、伽罗诃达多（Kara-hadatta）等五百位菩萨就是。 ‘阿难（Ananda）！如果有人确实问：‘什么是诸位菩萨的种子？’应当说跋陀婆罗（Bhadra-pala）、伽罗诃达多（Kara-hadatta）等五百人就是。这些善男子等，为了不断绝佛种、不断绝一切智慧种，安住于世间。这些善男子等，也在后世的后五百岁中，以这种教化的方便力，以快乐的因缘使众生不堕入三恶道中，也使无量百千众生安住于菩萨乘。 ‘阿难（Ananda）！若干千佛述说这些善男子等的功德也无法穷尽。为什么呢？因为这些善男子等成就了如此不可思议的功德。 ‘阿难（Ananda）！我在无量百千万亿阿僧祇劫中所积累的法藏，这些善男子等能够接受、守护、保持。阿难（Ananda）！我现在将这无量亿劫所积累的法宝嘱托给这些人，这些善男子等，为无量阿僧祇国土中现在的诸佛所护念。 ‘阿难（Ananda）！这些善男子等，是一切天人世间所应当礼敬侍奉的。阿难（Ananda）！这些人在十方千佛讲说法时常常被赞叹。 ‘阿难（Ananda）！我已经印可，为了断除一切众生的疑惑。如果有人在后来的末世，受持这部经，读诵通利，为他人广泛解说，应当知道这些善男子、善女人接近一切种智，有人在后来的末世乃至能够听闻这样甚深的经典，信解并且发誓愿，

English version: Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi (unsurpassed perfect enlightenment). From then on, they also taught countless hundreds of thousands of millions of sentient beings, causing them to abide in the Buddha-path, and because of the power of their teaching, they were complete with the Buddha-dharma, and they would all attain Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi (unsurpassed perfect enlightenment). ‘Ananda! These Bhadra-pala and others diligently practice and strive for the sake of giving sentient beings the joy of the Buddha, the joy of all wisdom. Ananda! If someone truly asks: ‘Who are the parents, saviors, givers, reliances, islands, and producers of all Bodhisattvas?’ The Bodhisattvas should say that these five hundred Bodhisattvas, such as Bhadra-pala, Kara-hadatta, and others, are. ‘Ananda! If someone truly asks: ‘What are the seeds of all Bodhisattvas?’ It should be said that the five hundred people, such as Bhadra-pala, Kara-hadatta, and others, are. These good men and others, in order to not cut off the Buddha-seed, and not cut off the seed of all wisdom, abide in the world. These good men and others, also in the latter five hundred years of the future, with this expedient power of teaching, with the cause and condition of joy, cause sentient beings not to fall into the three evil paths, and also cause immeasurable hundreds of thousands of sentient beings to abide in the Bodhisattva-vehicle. ‘Ananda! Even if thousands of Buddhas were to speak of the merits of these good men and others, they could not be exhausted. Why? Because these good men and others have accomplished such inconceivable merits. ‘Ananda! The Dharma-treasury that I have accumulated in immeasurable hundreds of thousands of millions of asamkhya kalpas, these good men and others are able to receive, protect, and maintain. Ananda! I now entrust these people with the Dharma-jewel that I have accumulated over immeasurable billions of kalpas. These good men and others are protected and念by the Buddhas who are present in immeasurable asamkhya lands. ‘Ananda! These good men and others are those whom all gods, humans, and the world should revere and serve. Ananda! These people are often praised when the Buddhas of the ten directions preach the Dharma. ‘Ananda! I have already approved, in order to cut off the doubts of all sentient beings. If someone in the future, in the latter age, receives, upholds, recites, understands, and widely explains this sutra for others, it should be known that these good men and good women are close to all-knowing wisdom.

我皆与受阿耨多罗三藐三菩提记。若于后世后五百岁，生信解心勤行精进护持是经，是善男子、善女人，我今亦以是阿耨多罗三藐三菩提法而嘱累之。若声闻人信受如是深法，心无违逆，我与受记，后当得值弥勒佛会。若求佛道者，闻如是法受持信解，是人皆为弥勒佛所授记，以本愿故出家学道。阿难当知，是善男子、善女人等，若于后世后五百岁时，于是法中勤行精进，当知是人善根猛利。” 持世经嘱累品第十二 尔时，持世菩萨摩诃萨白佛言：“世尊！惟愿利益诸菩萨摩诃萨故，护念是经。菩萨摩诃萨若于后世得闻是法心净喜乐，亦为具足如是法故，勤行精进。” 尔时，世尊护念是经，即以神力令此三千大千世界香气遍满，所未曾有，一切众生慈心相向。佛护念已，告持世菩萨：“持世！我今护念是法印品经，断一切疑故。持世！若有能受持读诵是经者，不久当得一切智慧，惟除本愿。我今亦与是人受记，疾得具足一切智慧故。 “持世！菩萨摩诃萨若受持读诵是法印品经，思惟广为人说，是人不久当疾得五阴方便，十二入、十八界、十二因缘、四念处、五根、八圣道分、世间出世间法、有为无为法方便，亦疾得诸法实相，亦疾得分别一切法章句，亦疾得念力，亦疾得转身成就不断 现代汉语译本：我都会给予他们阿耨多罗三藐三菩提（anuttara-samyak-sambodhi，无上正等正觉）的授记。如果在后世，末法时期的后五百年，有人生起信心和理解，勤奋修行精进，护持这部经，这些善男子、善女人，我现在也用这阿耨多罗三藐三菩提的法来嘱托他们。如果声闻乘的人信受这样甚深的佛法，心中没有违逆，我也会给予他们授记，将来能够遇到弥勒佛的法会。如果求佛道的人，听闻这样的佛法，接受、奉持、信解，这些人都会被弥勒佛所授记，因为他们过去所发的本愿而出家学道。阿难（Ananda），你应该知道，这些善男子、善女人等，如果在后世末法时期的后五百年，对于这部经勤奋修行精进，应当知道这些人善根非常深厚猛利。” 《持世经·嘱累品》第十二 这时，持世菩萨摩诃萨（Dharanimdhara Bodhisattva-Mahasattva）对佛说：“世尊！惟愿您为了利益诸位菩萨摩诃萨的缘故，护念这部经。菩萨摩诃萨如果在后世能够听闻这部经，内心清净欢喜，也为了具足这样的佛法，勤奋修行精进。” 这时，世尊护念这部经，就用他的神力，使这三千大千世界充满香气，这是前所未有的，一切众生都以慈悲心互相对待。佛护念完毕后，告诉持世菩萨（Dharanimdhara）：“持世（Dharanimdhara）！我现在护念这部《法印品经》，为了断除一切疑惑的缘故。持世（Dharanimdhara）！如果有人能够受持读诵这部经，不久就能够得到一切智慧，除非有其他的本愿。我现在也给这个人授记，让他迅速具足一切智慧的缘故。 “持世（Dharanimdhara）！菩萨摩诃萨如果受持读诵这部《法印品经》，思考其中的含义并广泛地为人解说，这个人不久就能够迅速地通达五阴（panca-skandha）的方便法门，十二入（dvadasa-ayatanani）、十八界（astadasa-dhatavah）、十二因缘（dvadasanga-pratityasamutpada）、四念处（catvari-smrtyupasthanani）、五根（panca-indriyani）、八圣道分（arya-astangika-marga）、世间法和出世间法、有为法和无为法的方便法门，也能够迅速地通达诸法实相，也能够迅速地分别一切法的章句，也能够迅速地得到念力，也能够迅速地转身成就，永不间断。
