神通力,使三千大千世界诸阎浮提皆有化佛,为诸众生说是断一切众生疑喜一切众生心菩萨藏经。复以神力,令竹园中在会大众皆见诸佛,遍阎浮提各各说法。大众咸悦,从坐而起,皆共礼佛,作是言:“希有世尊!诸佛如来神力不可思议,成就无量不可思议法。” 尔时,佛告大众:“诸善男子!如来是事未足为难。所以者何?如来善能通达法性故。若一毛孔出神通力,光明普照十方恒河沙世界,演说法音,于一毛孔百千万亿分未尽其一,如来成就如是不可思议功德。 “诸善男子!如来深观众生心而为说法。诸善男子!今世众生少有于是法中能行欲乐。诸善男子!今世众生少有于是法中能行精进。诸善男子!今世众生少有于是法中能行不放逸。何以故?如来今出五浊恶世,所谓众生浊、见浊、命浊、烦恼浊、劫浊。诸善男子!若有乃至一人能信受如是甚深清净法、能至佛慧,是为希有!何况能信解如来所行? “诸善男子!我常长夜庄严如是愿,如是精进忍辱行,为苦恼众生无救护者、无依止者、多堕恶道者,我于尔时当成佛道,利益无量阿僧祇众生。诸善男子!当知如来恩力本清净,愿精进故,能令无量阿僧祇众生信解受持如是深法。 “诸善男子!我于先世教化众生,是诸众生能解 现代汉语译本: 神通力,使得三千大千世界所有阎浮提(Jambudvipa,指我们所居住的这个世界)都显现出化身佛,为所有众生宣说《断一切众生疑喜一切众生心菩萨藏经》。又以神通力,让竹园中在场的大众都看见诸佛,遍布阎浮提各自说法。大众都感到喜悦,从座位上站起来,一起礼拜佛陀,说道:‘稀有啊,世尊!诸佛如来的神通力不可思议,成就了无量不可思议的功德。’ 这时,佛告诉大众:‘各位善男子!如来做到这些事并不算难。为什么呢?因为如来善于通达法性。如果一个毛孔显现神通力,光明普照十方恒河沙数的世界,演说佛法,在一个毛孔中显现的功德,即使是百千万亿分之一也无法穷尽,如来成就了如此不可思议的功德。’ ‘各位善男子!如来深刻地观察众生的心而为他们说法。各位善男子!现今的众生很少有人能在这部佛法中修行欲乐。各位善男子!现今的众生很少有人能在这部佛法中修行精进。各位善男子!现今的众生很少有人能在这部佛法中修行不放逸。为什么呢?因为如来现在出现在五浊恶世,也就是众生浊、见浊、命浊、烦恼浊、劫浊。各位善男子!如果哪怕只有一个人能够信受这样甚深清净的佛法、能够达到佛的智慧,这就是非常稀有的!更何况能够相信和理解如来所修行的法门呢?’ ‘各位善男子!我常常长夜庄严这样的愿望,这样精进忍辱修行,为了那些苦恼的众生,那些没有救护的人、没有依靠的人、多堕入恶道的人,我那时应当成就佛道,利益无量阿僧祇(asamkhya,无数)众生。各位善男子!应当知道如来的恩德和力量本来就是清净的,因为愿力和精进的缘故,能够让无量阿僧祇众生信解受持这样甚深的佛法。’ ‘各位善男子!我在过去世教化众生,这些众生能够理解……’

English version: With supernatural power, he caused all Jambudvipas (Jambudvipa, referring to the world we live in) in the three thousand great thousand worlds to have manifested Buddhas, who preached the 'Bodhisattva-pitaka Sutra of Cutting Off All Doubts of Sentient Beings and Delighting the Hearts of All Sentient Beings' for all sentient beings. Again, with supernatural power, he caused all the assembly in the Bamboo Grove to see all the Buddhas, each preaching the Dharma throughout Jambudvipa. The assembly was filled with joy, arose from their seats, and together paid homage to the Buddha, saying: 'Rare is the World Honored One! The supernatural power of the Buddhas and Tathagatas is inconceivable, accomplishing immeasurable and inconceivable merits.' At that time, the Buddha told the assembly: 'Good men! These things done by the Tathagata are not difficult. Why? Because the Tathagata is skilled in understanding the nature of Dharma. If a single pore of hair were to emit supernatural power, its light universally illuminating the ten directions of the Ganges River sand worlds, expounding the Dharma, even a hundred thousand trillionth part of the merit manifested in one pore of hair would not be exhausted. The Tathagata has accomplished such inconceivable merits.' 'Good men! The Tathagata deeply observes the minds of sentient beings and preaches the Dharma for them. Good men! Few sentient beings in this age are able to practice the joy of desire in this Dharma. Good men! Few sentient beings in this age are able to practice diligence in this Dharma. Good men! Few sentient beings in this age are able to practice non-negligence in this Dharma. Why? Because the Tathagata now appears in the evil world of the five turbidities, namely the turbidity of sentient beings, the turbidity of views, the turbidity of life, the turbidity of afflictions, and the turbidity of the kalpa. Good men! If even one person is able to believe and accept such a profound and pure Dharma, and is able to attain the wisdom of the Buddha, this is rare! How much more so to believe and understand the practices of the Tathagata?' 'Good men! I have constantly adorned such vows for long nights, practiced such diligence and forbearance, for the sake of suffering sentient beings, those without protection, those without refuge, those who often fall into evil paths, at that time I shall attain Buddhahood, benefiting immeasurable asamkhya (asamkhya, countless) sentient beings. Good men! You should know that the Tathagata's grace and power are originally pure, and because of the power of vows and diligence, it is able to cause immeasurable asamkhya sentient beings to believe, understand, receive, and uphold such profound Dharma.' 'Good men! In past lives, I taught sentient beings, and these sentient beings were able to understand...' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

我法。诸善男子!今佛以十力、四无所畏,少能令众生信解如是甚深之法。若有众生住是法中者,皆是如来恩力方便故。我长夜不离如是深法,我亦长夜大慈大悲大喜大舍摄取众生。少有如来出五浊世利益众生。何以故?诸善男子!我于先世,以大精进力大方便力教化众生,集是阿耨多罗三藐三菩提。 “诸善男子!我念过世,一日之中舍千身布施利益众生。诸善男子!我于若干千万世,见饥饿众生故,自割身肉煮以与之,我于尔时心无忧悔,但于众生普行大悲。诸善男子!当知我如是以大精进大方便力教化众生,集是阿耨多罗三藐三菩提。是故,诸善男子!应发如是欲、精进、不放逸,修集阿耨多罗三藐三菩提,如我行菩萨道时,汝等亦当如我利益教化众生。 “诸善男子!是贤劫中诸佛出世,无不赞我,作如是言:‘释迦牟尼佛深行精进如是,释迦牟尼佛具足精进如是,释迦牟尼佛具足精进波罗蜜如是。释迦牟尼佛行菩萨道时,教化众生如是,出于五浊,利益无量阿僧祇众生。’诸善男子!如是行道故,应勤生欲、精进、不放逸。 “诸善男子!我今虽得阿耨多罗三藐三菩提,精进犹不休息,至涅槃时犹发精进,碎身骨如芥子解散支节。何以故?怜愍未来世众生故。我先世行菩萨道时,所化众 现代汉语译本: ‘我的佛法。’诸位善男子!现在佛以十力(如来所具有的十种力量)、四无所畏(佛在众中说法无所畏惧的四种自信)的功德,很少能令众生信解这样甚深的佛法。如果有众生安住于这种佛法之中,都是如来的恩德和方便之力所致。我长久以来不离这种甚深的佛法,我也长久以来以大慈、大悲、大喜、大舍之心摄取众生。很少有如来出现在五浊恶世(指劫浊、见浊、烦恼浊、众生浊、命浊)中利益众生。为什么呢?诸位善男子!我在过去世,以大精进力和大的方便力教化众生,才得以成就这阿耨多罗三藐三菩提(无上正等正觉)。 ‘诸位善男子!我回忆过去世,曾经在一天之中舍弃千身布施,利益众生。诸位善男子!我在若干千万世中,见到饥饿的众生,就割下自己的身肉煮给他们吃,我在那时心中没有忧愁后悔,只是对众生普遍施行大悲。诸位善男子!应当知道我像这样以大精进、大方便之力教化众生,才得以成就这阿耨多罗三藐三菩提。’所以,诸位善男子!应当发起这样的愿望、精进、不放逸之心,修集阿耨多罗三藐三菩提,就像我行菩萨道时一样,你们也应当像我一样利益教化众生。 ‘诸位善男子!在这贤劫(现在这个贤劫)中诸佛出世,没有不赞叹我的,都这样说:‘释迦牟尼佛(Sakyamuni Buddha)深入修行精进如此,释迦牟尼佛具足精进如此,释迦牟尼佛具足精进波罗蜜(精进到彼岸)如此。释迦牟尼佛行菩萨道时,教化众生如此,出于五浊恶世,利益无量阿僧祇(无数)众生。’诸位善男子!像这样修行,所以应当勤奋生起愿望、精进、不放逸之心。 ‘诸位善男子!我现在虽然已经证得阿耨多罗三藐三菩提,精进仍然没有停止,直到涅槃(寂灭)之时仍然发起精进,即使粉碎身骨如芥子,解散肢体。为什么呢?因为怜悯未来世的众生。我过去世行菩萨道时,所教化的众生’

English version: 'My Dharma.' O good men! Now the Buddha, with the ten powers (the ten powers of a Tathagata) and the four fearlessnesses (the four kinds of self-confidence a Buddha has when speaking in public), is rarely able to make sentient beings believe and understand such profound Dharma. If there are sentient beings who abide in this Dharma, it is all due to the grace and expedient power of the Tathagata. I have never been apart from such profound Dharma for a long night, and I have also taken in sentient beings with great loving-kindness, great compassion, great joy, and great equanimity for a long night. Few Tathagatas appear in the world of the five turbidities (referring to the turbidity of the age, views, afflictions, sentient beings, and life) to benefit sentient beings. Why? O good men! In my past lives, I taught and transformed sentient beings with great diligence and great expedient power, and accumulated this Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi (unsurpassed, complete, and perfect enlightenment). 'O good men! I remember in past lives, I gave away a thousand bodies in one day to benefit sentient beings. O good men! In countless millions of lifetimes, when I saw hungry sentient beings, I cut off my own flesh and cooked it for them to eat. At that time, my heart had no sorrow or regret, but I universally practiced great compassion towards sentient beings. O good men! You should know that I taught and transformed sentient beings with great diligence and great expedient power like this, and accumulated this Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi.' Therefore, O good men! You should generate such desire, diligence, and non-negligence, and cultivate Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi, just as I did when I practiced the Bodhisattva path, you should also benefit and teach sentient beings as I did. 'O good men! In this Bhadrakalpa (the current fortunate eon), when all the Buddhas appear in the world, none of them do not praise me, saying: 'Sakyamuni Buddha practices diligence so deeply, Sakyamuni Buddha is complete with diligence, Sakyamuni Buddha is complete with diligence Paramita (perfection of diligence) so much. When Sakyamuni Buddha practiced the Bodhisattva path, he taught and transformed sentient beings like this, emerged from the five turbidities, and benefited immeasurable Asamkhya (countless) sentient beings.' O good men! Because of practicing the path like this, you should diligently generate desire, diligence, and non-negligence. 'O good men! Although I have now attained Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi, my diligence has not stopped, and I will still generate diligence until the time of Nirvana (extinction), even if my bones are crushed like mustard seeds and my limbs are scattered. Why? Because I have compassion for sentient beings in future lives. When I practiced the Bodhisattva path in past lives, the sentient beings I transformed' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

生或行错谬堕诸难处,欲勉济之起大悲心,分布舍利乃至如芥子皆与神力。我灭度后,若有众生应以舍利度者心得清净,得清净已,处处地中随愿成就。 “诸善男子!我先世行道时,于众生中成就如是悲心,碎身舍利普使分布,是我本愿。我以如是无量福德因缘大悲心故,于后恶世普覆众生。 “诸善男子!若诸菩萨于此法中,能生欲、精进、不放逸,必发是愿,于后末世受持读诵为人广说如是等经,我当以神力令诸菩萨受持读诵为人广说,我亦以如是经嘱累是诸菩萨,以其能受持读诵为人广说故。所以者何?诸善男子!随是经所住,当知其土有佛不灭,是故如来以此经嘱累诸菩萨。 “诸善男子!当知我宿世以如是因缘摄取众生,今世亦复摄取众生,后世亦复摄取众生,所谓护念如是经法,于后五百岁普流布故。 “诸善男子!若于今世若我灭后,若聚落城邑山林旷野,有如是等经,若能受持读诵为人解说,当知此中则为有佛。何以故?我说诸佛即是法身,以见法故则为见佛,佛不应以色身见。若人信法听法,是人则为信佛亦听佛语。若人于此法中,能如说修行,是人则为见佛,是人名为实语者、法语者、随法行者。 “诸善男子!我身非法非非法,是名随法行,是名第一法施, 现代汉语译本: 如果众生因为生存或行为上的错误而陷入困境,想要勉力救济他们,就发起大悲心,分发舍利,哪怕像芥菜籽一样小,都具有神奇的力量。我灭度之后,如果有众生应该通过舍利来得度的,他们的心就能得到清净,得到清净之后,在任何地方都能随心所愿地成就。 ‘各位善男子!我在过去世修行的时候,对于众生就成就了这样的大悲心,粉碎身体化为舍利,普遍地使之分布,这是我最初的愿望。我因为这样无量的福德因缘和大悲心的缘故,在后世的恶劣时代普遍地庇护众生。’ ‘各位善男子!如果各位菩萨对于这部佛法,能够生起强烈的愿望、精进心和不放逸心,必定会发起这样的誓愿,在后世末法时代受持、读诵、为他人广泛解说像这样的经典,我将用我的神力,让这些菩萨能够受持、读诵、为他人广泛解说。我也用这部经典嘱托这些菩萨,因为他们能够受持、读诵、为他人广泛解说。这是什么原因呢?各位善男子!随着这部经典所住的地方,应当知道那个地方有佛存在,不会消失,因此如来用这部经典嘱托各位菩萨。’ ‘各位善男子!应当知道我过去世因为这样的因缘摄取众生,今世也同样摄取众生,后世也同样摄取众生,就是护念这样的经法,在后世五百年普遍流布的缘故。’ ‘各位善男子!如果在今世或者我灭度之后,如果在村落、城市、山林、旷野,有像这样的经典,如果有人能够受持、读诵、为他人解说,应当知道这个地方就有佛存在。为什么呢?我说诸佛就是法身,因为见到法就等于见到佛,佛不应该用色身来见。如果有人相信佛法、听闻佛法,这个人就等于相信佛、听闻佛的教诲。如果有人对于这部佛法,能够按照所说的去修行,这个人就等于见到佛,这个人被称为实语者、法语者、随法行者。’ ‘各位善男子!我的身体既不是法,也不是非法,这叫做随法而行,这叫做第一法施。'
