尔时，世尊告长老阿难：“汝受持此无所有所问，我今说法，广为人说光显此法。阿难！汝为何等众生当令闻此法本之者，彼等闻已能广解义文句庄严，彼等皆当决定阿耨多罗三藐三菩提。若虽得闻而不解义，于后渐次亦当如是，解其义趣修行触证，于多百千那由他数诸如来所种诸善根。所以者何？其无所有菩萨有如是愿。” 尔时，众中有诸女等住于大乘，而白佛言：“世尊！何用劝请阿难受持此法？所以者何？我今已受如此法本，习诵通利。世尊！我今闻此法本，于未来世当为他说，于阿僧祇百千那由他劫中光显此法。” 尔时，众中有百比丘、六百比丘尼，二百优婆塞、优婆夷，复有那由他数诸天子等，以诸杂华散世尊已，作如是言：“世尊！此修多罗而能照明一切诸法如实显示。世尊！我今得闻此法本已，即能受持读诵通利，犹如明镜见其面像。如是，如是，我等受持此法本已。是故，世尊！我等于今及未来世，如此法本，于阿僧祇那由他劫，广为人说光显是行。当令证觉为诸众生，令知我等如是利益。我住菩提，云何当作？为诸众生一切利益具佛法故。世尊！我等不贪利养及名闻等，而受此法为众生说，亦复不为己自身命， 他们因此无所执着。' 说完这偈语后，他们礼敬世尊，合掌站立。 这时，世尊告诉长老阿难（Ananda）：'你应当受持这《无所有所问经》，我现在说法，广泛地为人宣说，光大显扬此法。阿难！你应当让什么样的众生听闻此法本呢？那些听闻后能够广泛理解经文意义和句法庄严的众生，他们都将决定证得阿耨多罗三藐三菩提（Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi，无上正等正觉）。如果有人虽然听闻了此法，却不能理解其中的意义，那么在以后逐渐地也能理解其意义和旨趣，修行并触证，在无数百千那由他（nayuta，数量单位）诸如来（Tathagata，如来）处种下各种善根。这是什么原因呢？因为这《无所有》菩萨（Bodhisattva，菩萨）有这样的愿力。' 这时，大众中有一些住于大乘（Mahayana，大乘）的女众，对佛说：'世尊！为什么还要劝请阿难受持此法呢？因为我们现在已经受持了这样的法本，能够熟练地背诵和理解。世尊！我们现在听闻了此法本，在未来世将为他人宣说，在阿僧祇（asamkhya，数量单位）百千那由他劫中光大显扬此法。' 这时，大众中有百位比丘（bhiksu，和尚）、六百位比丘尼（bhiksuni，尼姑），二百位优婆塞（upasaka，男居士）、优婆夷（upasika，女居士），还有无数那由他诸天子等，用各种杂华散在世尊身上后，这样说道：'世尊！这部修多罗（sutra，经）能够照明一切诸法，如实地显示。世尊！我们现在听闻了此法本后，就能受持、读诵和熟练地理解，就像明镜照见自己的面容一样。是的，是的，我们受持了此法本。所以，世尊！我们从现在乃至未来世，将在这阿僧祇那由他劫中，广泛地为人宣说此法本，光大显扬这种修行。我们将使众生证悟觉醒，让他们知道我们有这样的利益。我们安住于菩提（bodhi，觉悟），应当如何作为呢？为了众生的一切利益，为了具足佛法。世尊！我们不贪图利养和名闻等，而是为了众生而受持此法并为他们宣说，也不为自己的生命。'

They are therefore unattached to anything.' Having spoken this verse, they paid homage to the World-Honored One and stood with their palms joined. At that time, the World-Honored One said to the Elder Ananda (Ananda): 'You should uphold this *Inquiry into Non-Possession*. I will now expound the Dharma, widely proclaiming it for others, illuminating and glorifying this Dharma. Ananda! What kind of beings should you cause to hear this Dharma text? Those who, having heard it, can broadly understand the meaning of the text and the adornment of its phrases, they will all be certain to attain Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi (Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi, unsurpassed perfect enlightenment). If some, though having heard this Dharma, do not understand its meaning, then gradually in the future they will also come to understand its meaning and purpose, cultivate and realize it, and plant various roots of goodness in the presence of many hundreds of thousands of nayutas (nayuta, a unit of measurement) of Tathagatas (Tathagata, Thus Come One). Why is this so? Because this Bodhisattva (Bodhisattva, enlightenment being) of Non-Possession has such a vow.' At that time, among the assembly were some women who abided in the Mahayana (Mahayana, Great Vehicle), and they said to the Buddha: 'World-Honored One! Why is it necessary to exhort Ananda to uphold this Dharma? Because we have already received such a Dharma text, and are skilled in reciting and understanding it. World-Honored One! Having heard this Dharma text, we will proclaim it to others in future ages, and illuminate and glorify this Dharma for asamkhya (asamkhya, a unit of measurement) hundreds of thousands of nayutas of kalpas.' At that time, among the assembly were a hundred bhiksus (bhiksu, monks), six hundred bhiksunis (bhiksuni, nuns), two hundred upasakas (upasaka, male lay devotees), and upasikas (upasika, female lay devotees), as well as countless nayutas of devaputras (devaputra, celestial beings), who scattered various flowers upon the World-Honored One and said: 'World-Honored One! This sutra (sutra, discourse) can illuminate all dharmas and reveal them as they truly are. World-Honored One! Having heard this Dharma text, we can immediately uphold, recite, and understand it thoroughly, just as a clear mirror reflects one's face. Yes, yes, we have upheld this Dharma text. Therefore, World-Honored One! From now until future ages, we will widely proclaim this Dharma text for asamkhya nayutas of kalpas, illuminating and glorifying this practice. We will cause beings to awaken and realize, so that they may know that we have such benefits. We abide in bodhi (bodhi, enlightenment), how should we act? For the sake of all beings' benefit, and to be complete in the Buddha-dharma. World-Honored One! We do not crave profit, offerings, fame, or renown, but uphold this Dharma and proclaim it for the sake of beings, and not for our own lives.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

但为一切诸众生等，欲与众生诸乐具故，欲令近于诸佛法故，为于无量诸众生等，除灭爱着诸烦恼故。” 佛言：“善哉！善哉！善男子等！汝今一切善说此法。” 尔时，海姊妹白佛言：“世尊！此无所有菩萨，不起亦不说如此等。善男子、善女人等！说此法本当光显故。世尊！彼当受持正法，亦为一切过去未来现在诸佛所有法行，彼亦受持读诵通利，亦教他人读诵通利，若教令知。” 尔时，无所有菩萨摩诃萨，告海姊妹言：“过阿僧祇百千劫中，彼时有劫，名曰法宝开敷，于彼劫中满足五百诸佛出世。时有一佛最初出世，名难降幢如来、应供、正遍知、明行足、善逝、世间解、无上士、调御丈夫、天人师、佛、世尊。于彼时中亦复多有众生，住于烦恼浊中业障所覆，烦恼增上，贪欲恚痴诸恼增上，含毒所恼。善女人！ “尔时，彼难降幢佛如来、应供、正遍知，我于尔时亦如是问，彼佛如来亦如是解释，如今世尊释迦牟尼如来、应、正遍知之所解释。善女人！如是次第五千诸佛，亦如是问如此法本，彼诸世尊亦复为我如是解说，如今世尊释迦牟尼诸释中王为我解说。善姊！汝今安意。善姊！我从今已于未来世，当于无量阿僧祇数诸佛世尊，亦当如是问此法本。所有如是诸佛刹中，亦有 现代汉语译本：‘为了所有这些众生，为了给予众生各种快乐的器具，为了让他们接近诸佛的佛法，为了为无量众生消除爱恋执着等各种烦恼。’ 佛说：‘好啊！好啊！善男子们！你们现在都很好地宣说了这个法。’ 当时，海姊妹对佛说：‘世尊！这位无所有菩萨，不生起也不说这样的话。善男子、善女人们！说这个法本应当光大显扬。世尊！他们应当受持正法，也为一切过去、未来、现在诸佛所有的法行，他们也应当受持、读诵、通达、流利，也教导他人读诵、通达、流利，如果教导他们知晓。’ 当时，无所有菩萨摩诃萨，告诉海姊妹说：‘在过去阿僧祇百千劫中，那时有个劫，名叫法宝开敷，在那劫中圆满了五百诸佛出世。当时有一佛最初出世，名叫难降幢如来（Nanjunagadhvaja-tathagata），应供（Arhat），正遍知（Samyaksambuddha），明行足（Vidya-charana-sampanna），善逝（Sugata），世间解（Lokavid），无上士（Anuttara），调御丈夫（Purusha-damya-sarathi），天人师（Shasta deva-manushyanam），佛（Buddha），世尊（Bhagavan）。在那时也有很多众生，住在烦恼污浊中，被业障所覆盖，烦恼增多，贪欲、嗔恚、愚痴等各种恼害增多，被毒害所恼。善女人！’ ‘当时，那位难降幢佛如来（Nanjunagadhvaja-tathagata），应供（Arhat），正遍知（Samyaksambuddha），我在那时也像这样问，那位佛如来也像这样解释，就像现在世尊释迦牟尼如来（Shakyamuni-tathagata），应（Arhat），正遍知（Samyaksambuddha）所解释的那样。善女人！像这样依次五千诸佛，也像这样问这个法本，那些世尊也为我像这样解说，就像现在世尊释迦牟尼（Shakyamuni）诸释中王为我解说。善姊！你现在安心。善姊！我从今以后在未来世，将对无量阿僧祇数的诸佛世尊，也应当像这样问这个法本。所有像这样的诸佛刹中，也有’

English version: 'For the sake of all these sentient beings, wishing to provide them with all kinds of joyful instruments, wishing to bring them closer to the Buddhadharma, and for the sake of immeasurable sentient beings, to eliminate afflictions such as attachment and clinging.' The Buddha said, 'Excellent! Excellent! Good men! You have all now well expounded this Dharma.' At that time, the sister of the sea said to the Buddha, 'World Honored One! This No-Possession Bodhisattva neither arises nor speaks in this way. Good men and good women! Speaking this Dharma text should illuminate and glorify it. World Honored One! They should uphold the True Dharma, and also for all the Dharma practices of the Buddhas of the past, future, and present, they should also uphold, recite, understand, and fluently articulate it, and also teach others to recite, understand, and fluently articulate it, if they teach them to know.' At that time, the No-Possession Bodhisattva Mahasattva, told the sister of the sea, 'In the past, during countless asamkhya hundreds of thousands of kalpas, there was a kalpa named Dharma Jewel Unfolding, in that kalpa, five hundred Buddhas were fulfilled in appearing in the world. At that time, there was a Buddha who first appeared in the world, named Nanjunagadhvaja-tathagata (难降幢如来, Thus Come One with a Banner Difficult to Subdue), Arhat (应供, Worthy of Offerings), Samyaksambuddha (正遍知, Perfectly Enlightened One), Vidya-charana-sampanna (明行足, Perfect in Knowledge and Conduct), Sugata (善逝, Well-Gone), Lokavid (世间解, Knower of the World), Anuttara (无上士, Unsurpassed One), Purusha-damya-sarathi (调御丈夫, Tamer of Men), Shasta deva-manushyanam (天人师, Teacher of Gods and Humans), Buddha (佛, Buddha), Bhagavan (世尊, World Honored One). At that time, there were also many sentient beings, dwelling in the turbid waters of afflictions, covered by karmic obstacles, with increasing afflictions, increasing greed, hatred, and delusion, troubled by poisons. Good woman!' 'At that time, that Nanjunagadhvaja-tathagata (难降幢如来, Thus Come One with a Banner Difficult to Subdue), Arhat (应供, Worthy of Offerings), Samyaksambuddha (正遍知, Perfectly Enlightened One), I also asked in this way at that time, and that Buddha Thus Come One also explained in this way, just as the World Honored One Shakyamuni-tathagata (释迦牟尼如来, Shakyamuni Thus Come One), Arhat (应供, Worthy of Offerings), Samyaksambuddha (正遍知, Perfectly Enlightened One) explains now. Good woman! In this way, successively five thousand Buddhas, also asked this Dharma text in this way, and those World Honored Ones also explained it to me in this way, just as the World Honored One Shakyamuni (释迦牟尼, Shakyamuni), the King among the Shakyas, explains it to me now. Good sister! Be at ease now. Good sister! From now on, in the future, I shall ask this Dharma text in this way to countless asamkhya Buddhas World Honored Ones.

诸浊烦恼众生，或有少者，或复倍多有烦恼者。” 尔时，无所有菩萨摩诃萨说此语时，于刹那顷，彼摩伽陀主频婆娑罗王，有大势力四兵围绕次第渐行，寻彼诸女所行之处来诣佛所。到佛所已，顶礼佛足，却住一面。佛慰劳已，随所敷具而就其坐，彼诸大众亦皆而坐。 时，频婆娑罗王白佛言：“世尊！我有少女与众侍女，出游园林久乃不还，后于园中求觅不得。又闻有说向世尊所，今于此众我复不见。” 佛告大王：“今会当见。” 王言：“世尊！我今未见。” 佛言：“大王！汝今可问无所有菩萨，当示王处。” 王言：“世尊！其无所有菩萨。何者是也？” 于时，世尊告无所有菩萨言：“汝无所有！汝今应报频婆娑罗王所问诸女行来之处，令此众知。” 尔时，无所有菩萨以不现身，告频婆娑罗王及大众言：“大王当知，彼诸女等在此众中。” 王言：“大士！我但闻声不见汝形。” 菩萨告言：“大王！今者所有诸女闻我名已，一一妇女至于树下，皆取我身随意娱乐，取我身已皆舍女身受丈夫身。彼等诸女既取我身，成丈夫身，我则无身。” 然，无所有菩萨告彼诸女丈夫身者言：“汝善男子！各各示现自身之德。” 尔 现代汉语译本： ‘充满各种污浊烦恼的众生，有的烦恼少，有的烦恼则更多。’ 当时，无所有菩萨摩诃萨（Anabhilāpa Bodhisattva-mahāsattva，指一位伟大的菩萨，名字意为‘无所言说’）说这番话时，刹那间，摩伽陀国（Magadha，古印度十六雄国之一）的国王频婆娑罗王（Bimbisāra，古印度摩揭陀国国王）率领强大的四种军队，层层包围，逐渐行进，沿着那些女子所去的方向来到佛陀所在的地方。到达佛陀处后，他顶礼佛足，退到一旁站立。佛陀慰问了他，他便依照所设的座位坐下，在场的大众也都坐了下来。 当时，频婆娑罗王对佛陀说：‘世尊！我的一些少女和侍女一同去园林游玩，很久都没有回来，后来在园中寻找也找不到。又听说她们是朝着世尊您这里来的，现在我在这人群中也没有看见她们。’ 佛陀告诉国王：‘现在你将会见到她们。’ 国王说：‘世尊！我现在还没有见到。’ 佛陀说：‘大王！你现在可以问无所有菩萨，他会告诉你她们的所在之处。’ 国王说：‘世尊！这位无所有菩萨，是哪一位呢？’ 这时，世尊告诉无所有菩萨说：‘你，无所有！你现在应该告诉频婆娑罗王所询问的那些女子行踪，让在场的大众都知道。’ 当时，无所有菩萨没有显现身形，而是告诉频婆娑罗王和大众说：‘大王应当知道，那些女子就在这人群之中。’ 国王说：‘大士！我只听到你的声音，却看不见你的形体。’ 菩萨说道：‘大王！现在所有的女子，听到我的名字后，每一个妇女走到树下，都拿取我的身体随意娱乐，拿取我的身体后都舍弃女身，接受丈夫身。她们这些女子既然拿取了我的身体，变成了丈夫身，我就没有身体了。’ 然后，无所有菩萨告诉那些已经变成丈夫身的女子说：‘你们这些善男子！各自展示你们自身的美德。’
