English version: ‘Beings filled with various turbid afflictions, some with few afflictions, and others with many more.’ At that time, Anabhilāpa Bodhisattva-mahāsattva (Anabhilāpa Bodhisattva-mahāsattva, referring to a great Bodhisattva whose name means 'inexpressible') spoke these words, in an instant, King Bimbisāra (Bimbisāra, King of Magadha) of Magadha (Magadha, one of the sixteen ancient Indian kingdoms) led a mighty army of four divisions, surrounded and gradually advanced, following the path of those women to where the Buddha was. Having arrived at the Buddha's place, he bowed at the Buddha's feet and stood to one side. After the Buddha had greeted him, he sat down on the prepared seat, and the assembly also sat down. Then, King Bimbisāra said to the Buddha: ‘Venerable One! Some young women and attendants of mine went to the garden to play, and have not returned for a long time. Later, I searched for them in the garden but could not find them. I also heard that they were heading towards where the Venerable One is, but now I do not see them in this assembly.’ The Buddha told the King: ‘Now you will see them.’ The King said: ‘Venerable One! I have not seen them yet.’ The Buddha said: ‘Great King! You can now ask Anabhilāpa Bodhisattva, and he will tell you where they are.’ The King said: ‘Venerable One! Who is this Anabhilāpa Bodhisattva?’ At that time, the Buddha told Anabhilāpa Bodhisattva: ‘You, Anabhilāpa! You should now tell King Bimbisāra the whereabouts of the women he is asking about, so that the assembly may know.’ Then, Anabhilāpa Bodhisattva, without revealing his form, told King Bimbisāra and the assembly: ‘Great King, you should know that those women are in this assembly.’ The King said: ‘Great Being! I only hear your voice, but I do not see your form.’ The Bodhisattva said: ‘Great King! Now, all the women, having heard my name, each woman went to a tree, took my body for their pleasure, and after taking my body, they all abandoned their female bodies and received male bodies. Since these women have taken my body and become male bodies, I have no body.’ Then, Anabhilāpa Bodhisattva told those women who had become male bodies: ‘You good men! Each of you should demonstrate your own virtues.’ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

时，诸女得男身者共集一处，具丈夫相端正可喜，作如是言：“我等今者舍于女身，已成如是丈夫之身。” 尔时，频婆娑罗王及诸大众生疑不信。 尔时，无所有菩萨复作是言：“大王！何故及诸人众犹怀疑惑？王今于佛岂不可信？若可信者如来现前，王今宜问：‘此善男子！如是所说有异不耶？’” 尔时，频婆娑罗王白佛言：“世尊！如是，如是。如虚空声所说以不？而不见身。” 尔时，佛告频婆娑罗王言：“如是，如是。大王！皆悉如此菩萨所说。大王！今者宜信此语莫生疑惑。” 王闻是语，即起合掌三称：“善哉！”白言：“世尊！是谁神力？为是菩萨无所有力？为当是佛威神之力？” 佛告王言：“大王！当知此是诸女往昔愿力。彼于往昔于多千佛，教此诸女种诸善根发菩提心，诸佛法中而得成就，故今我所得满其愿。大王！有诸女人于未来世，亦更教化无量诸女得转女身。” 尔时，佛告无所有菩萨言：“善男子！汝今可为于此众人，令此诸女各复本身？” 尔时，无所有菩萨作如是言：“如我实说，我于无量无边妇女，令转女身得丈夫身，皆是实故。此等众生还复女身！”说是语时，多有妇女于彼丈夫前有如是形，有如是色如是行住，还复如 现代汉语译本： 这时，那些获得男子之身的女子聚集在一处，都具有大丈夫的相貌，端正美好，令人喜爱，她们这样说道：‘我们现在舍弃了女身，已经成就了这样的男子之身。’ 当时，频婆娑罗王（Bimbisara，古印度摩揭陀国国王）和在场的大众心生疑惑，不相信。 这时，无所有菩萨（Asamkhya Bodhisattva）又这样说道：‘大王！为什么您和各位仍然心怀疑惑？大王您现在对于佛陀难道还不信任吗？如果信任的话，如来（Tathagata，佛的称号）就在眼前，大王您现在应该问：‘这些善男子！他们所说的话与事实有差异吗？’’ 当时，频婆娑罗王禀告佛陀说：‘世尊！确实是这样，确实是这样。就像虚空中的声音所说的那样吗？但是却看不见他们的身体。’ 当时，佛陀告诉频婆娑罗王说：‘是的，是的。大王！一切都如这位菩萨所说。大王！现在应该相信这些话，不要产生疑惑。’ 国王听了这些话，立刻起身合掌，三次称赞：‘太好了！’然后禀告说：‘世尊！这是谁的神力？是无所有菩萨的力量？还是佛陀的威神之力？’ 佛陀告诉国王说：‘大王！应当知道这是这些女子往昔的愿力。她们在过去于无数千佛面前，教导这些女子种下各种善根，发起菩提心（Bodhi-citta，觉悟之心），在诸佛的教法中得以成就，所以现在我才得以圆满她们的愿望。大王！将来世间，还会有许多女人教化无量的女子得以转女成男。’ 当时，佛陀告诉无所有菩萨说：‘善男子！你现在可以为了这些大众，让这些女子各自恢复原来的女身吗？’ 当时，无所有菩萨这样说道：‘如果我所说的是真实的，我曾经让无量无边的妇女，转变女身而获得男子之身，这一切都是真实的。那么，这些众生都恢复女身吧！’说完这些话的时候，许多妇女在那些男子面前恢复了原来的形貌，恢复了原来的颜色，恢复了原来的行为举止，恢复了原来的样子。

English version: Then, the women who had obtained male bodies gathered in one place, all possessing the features of strong men, with upright and pleasing appearances. They spoke thus: 'We have now relinquished our female bodies and have attained such male bodies.' At that time, King Bimbisara (Bimbisara, King of Magadha in ancient India) and the assembly of people present were doubtful and disbelieving. Then, the Bodhisattva Asamkhya (Asamkhya Bodhisattva) spoke again, saying: 'Great King! Why do you and the assembly still harbor doubts? Great King, do you now not trust the Buddha? If you trust, the Tathagata (Tathagata, title of the Buddha) is present before you. Great King, you should now ask: 'Do these good men speak differently from the truth?'' At that time, King Bimbisara said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One! It is so, it is so. Is it as the voice in the sky has said? But we do not see their bodies.' Then, the Buddha said to King Bimbisara: 'It is so, it is so. Great King! Everything is as this Bodhisattva has said. Great King! Now you should believe these words and not harbor doubts.' Upon hearing these words, the King immediately rose, joined his palms, and praised three times: 'Excellent!' Then he said: 'World Honored One! Whose divine power is this? Is it the power of the Bodhisattva Asamkhya? Or is it the majestic power of the Buddha?' The Buddha said to the King: 'Great King! You should know that this is due to the vows these women made in the past. In the past, before countless thousands of Buddhas, they taught these women to plant various roots of goodness, to generate the Bodhi-citta (Bodhi-citta, mind of enlightenment), and to achieve accomplishment in the Dharma of the Buddhas. Therefore, now I am able to fulfill their wishes. Great King! In the future, there will be many women who will teach countless women to transform from female to male.' Then, the Buddha said to the Bodhisattva Asamkhya: 'Good man! Can you now, for the sake of this assembly, cause these women to return to their original female bodies?' At that time, the Bodhisattva Asamkhya spoke thus: 'If what I say is true, that I have caused countless women to transform from female bodies to obtain male bodies, and all of this is true, then let these beings return to their female bodies!' As he spoke these words, many women before those men regained their original forms, regained their original colors, regained their original behaviors, and returned to their original appearances. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

先所向来者，彼等各各相共言说如前无异。 彼时，诸女及频婆娑罗王等生希有心：“云何诸女已转女身，今已还复女人身耶？此诸女人为是实身为当化起？” 佛言：“大王！此等妇女非实非化。所以者何？大王！此善男子于往昔时有如是愿。若诸妇人见我身者，彼见我身即发是愿求转女身，彼诸妇人所有夫主，更取余妇还复如是，不增不减如前妇身，可爱端正不相离别。” 尔时，频婆娑罗王而白佛言：“希有世尊！诸菩萨摩诃萨等，能有如是神通善根。世尊！一切诸法不可思议，众生果报不可思议，得禅定者定之境界不可思议。” 佛言：“如是，如是。大王！如是，如是。大王！此有三种不可思议。何者为三？业幻量幻(梵本少一句)。此善男子已觉诸幻已证已触。此善男子即是幻师，是故此等不可取量。” 尔时，世尊令彼大众以无所有和合法义，教化言说令得欢喜，令得威神增长教化，令欢喜已，劝言：“汝等！各自知时还其所至。” 时诸人众各还本处。其去未久，有一菩萨名曰生疑，而白佛言：“世尊！其无所有菩萨，能为此等众生，以神通化还令如旧，而不令彼诸众生等有爱别离。世尊！此等当作何等利益？” 佛告生疑菩萨言：“善男子！此诸人等 现代汉语译本：先前那些来过的人，他们彼此交谈的内容和之前没有什么不同。 当时，那些女子以及频婆娑罗王（Bimbisara，古印度摩揭陀国国王）等都感到非常稀奇：‘为什么这些女子已经转为男子之身，现在又恢复了女子之身呢？这些女子是真实的身体，还是变化出来的？’ 佛说：‘大王！这些妇女既不是真实的，也不是变化出来的。为什么呢？大王！这位善男子在过去世时曾发过这样的愿：如果妇女们见到我的身体，她们见到我的身体后就发愿求转为男子之身，这些妇女的所有丈夫，再娶其他的妇女，还会恢复成和之前的妇女一样，不增不减，可爱端正，不会分离。’ 当时，频婆娑罗王对佛说：‘稀有啊，世尊！诸位菩萨摩诃萨（Bodhisattva-Mahasattva， महानसत्त्व， महान् बोधिसत्त्व，伟大的菩萨）等，能够有这样的神通善根。世尊！一切诸法不可思议，众生的果报不可思议，得到禅定的人，禅定的境界不可思议。’ 佛说：‘是的，是的。大王！是的，是的。大王！这里有三种不可思议。哪三种呢？业的幻化，量的幻化（梵文本缺少一句）。这位善男子已经觉悟了诸幻，已经证得了诸幻，已经触及了诸幻。这位善男子就是幻术师，因此这些人等是不可估量的。’ 当时，世尊用无所有和合法义，教化大众，让他们欢喜，让他们威神增长，教化完毕，劝告他们说：‘你们各自知道时间，回到你们该去的地方吧。’ 当时，众人各自回到自己的地方。他们离开后不久，有一位菩萨名叫生疑（Sheng Yi），对佛说：‘世尊！那位无所有菩萨，能够为了这些众生，用神通变化让他们恢复如初，而不让他们这些众生有爱别离之苦。世尊！这样做会产生什么样的利益呢？’ 佛告诉生疑菩萨说：‘善男子！这些人等’

English version: Those who had come before, they were all talking to each other in the same way as before. At that time, the women and King Bimbisara (Bimbisara, King of Magadha in ancient India) and others felt it was very rare: 'Why have these women transformed into men, and now they have returned to women's bodies? Are these women's bodies real, or are they transformed?' The Buddha said: 'Great King! These women are neither real nor transformed. Why? Great King! This good man in the past had such a vow: If women see my body, they will make a vow to transform into men, and all the husbands of these women will take other women, and they will return to the same as the previous women, neither increasing nor decreasing, lovely and upright, and will not be separated.' At that time, King Bimbisara said to the Buddha: 'Rare is it, World Honored One! The Bodhisattva-Mahasattvas (Bodhisattva-Mahasattva, महानसत्त्व, महान् बोधिसत्त्व, great Bodhisattvas) and others, are able to have such supernatural powers and good roots. World Honored One! All dharmas are inconceivable, the karmic retribution of sentient beings is inconceivable, and those who attain dhyana, the state of dhyana is inconceivable.' The Buddha said: 'So it is, so it is. Great King! So it is, so it is. Great King! There are three kinds of inconceivability here. What are the three? The illusion of karma, the illusion of measure (the Sanskrit text is missing a sentence). This good man has awakened to all illusions, has attained all illusions, and has touched all illusions. This good man is a magician, so these people are immeasurable.' At that time, the World Honored One used the meaning of non-possession and harmonious Dharma to teach the masses, making them happy, increasing their majestic power, and after teaching, advised them: 'You all know the time and return to where you should go.' At that time, the people returned to their respective places. Not long after they left, there was a Bodhisattva named Sheng Yi (Sheng Yi), who said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One! That Bodhisattva of Non-Possession is able to use supernatural powers to transform these sentient beings back to their original state, without causing them the suffering of separation from loved ones. World Honored One! What kind of benefits will this bring?' The Buddha told the Bodhisattva Sheng Yi: 'Good man! These people' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

所在之处，共此诸女曾转根者，语言饮食共相娱乐游行戏乐，种种诸事种种方便，于彼时处令此众人，于菩提中令得发心近佛法中。何以故？善男子！此无所有菩萨，已于往昔诸如来所，以一切乐具供养尊重，种诸善根皆已具足，发如是愿，是故满愿满分别意。此善男子如是教化成熟众生，教令入于义文字中，所有法体无生之处，无成就处令入令觉，如是教中不令有失，令得成就于佛法故。 “善男子！此无所有菩萨教化众生，于彼中者无一众生当向恶趣，无一众生于所教师过去佛土而不中生。善男子！彼诸众生还当如是成就菩提，亦如今者无所有菩萨所成就者。” 尔时，生疑菩萨从佛世尊闻善说已，除诸疑惑，而说偈言： “众生闻以得， 于中方便学， 如是健修习， 名无所有者。 纯直心柔和， 软意无嫉妒， 亦无有怯弱， 名无所有者。 多文字和合， 复说如是义， 所有无可见， 亦当无所触。 无二不可取， 无余不可见， 不可说而说， 法教无有比。” 尔时，阇那那修多女告生疑菩萨言：“善男子！汝承谁力能说此偈？” 彼即答言：“我身如是，知无所有菩萨身中从出是声。善姊当知，今此偈声非我身出。” 尔时， 现代汉语译本： 无论在什么地方，所有与这些曾转变根性的女子一起的人，用语言和饮食共同娱乐嬉戏，用各种各样的事情和方法，在那时那地让这些人，在菩提（bodhi，觉悟）中生起发心，接近佛法。为什么呢？善男子！这位无所有菩萨（Anupalabdhi Bodhisattva），已经在过去诸佛那里，用一切的快乐用具供养尊重，种下各种善根都已经具足，发了这样的愿，所以能够圆满愿望，圆满分别的意念。这位善男子这样教化成熟众生，教导他们进入义理文字之中，进入所有法体无生之处，无成就之处，让他们进入并觉悟，在这样的教导中不让他们有所失误，让他们成就于佛法。 ‘善男子！这位无所有菩萨教化众生，在那些众生中没有一个会堕入恶趣，没有一个众生不会在所教导的过去佛土中转生。善男子！那些众生还会像这样成就菩提，也像现在这位无所有菩萨所成就的一样。’ 当时，生疑菩萨（Saṃśayotpādana Bodhisattva）从佛世尊那里听闻了善妙的说法后，消除了各种疑惑，而说了偈颂： ‘众生听闻后，从中学习方便，像这样精进地修习，名为无所有者（Anupalabdhi）。纯洁正直，内心柔和，心意温顺没有嫉妒，也没有怯懦软弱，名为无所有者。’ ‘将众多的文字组合，又说出这样的义理，所有的一切都无法看见，也无法触摸。无二无别不可取，没有剩余不可见，不可说却说了，这样的佛法教导无与伦比。’ 当时，阇那那修多女（Jñānālokā Nanda）告诉生疑菩萨说：‘善男子！你依靠谁的力量能够说出这些偈颂？’ 他回答说：‘我自身就是这样，知道这些声音是从无所有菩萨（Anupalabdhi Bodhisattva）的身中发出的。善姊，你应该知道，现在这些偈颂的声音不是从我自身发出的。’ 当时，
