The Buddha told Sihamei (Sihamei, a young practitioner): ‘The Buddhas of the past have all given such predictions, and now I will also give you a prediction. The Buddhas in countless lands who are now turning the Dharma wheel, all of them have given such predictions.’ Sihamei, hearing the prediction from the Buddha, was overjoyed. He immediately rose into the air, one hundred and forty zhang (丈, a unit of length) above the ground, and then descended from the sky, touching the Buddha's feet with his head and face, and paying homage to the Buddha. At that time, five hundred disciples, seeing this great transformation, spoke the following verses before the Buddha: ‘If you would kindly teach and have compassion on us, we only wish that the Buddha would give us a prediction,’—If the Buddha could kindly teach us and have compassion on us, we only wish that the Buddha would give us a prediction. ‘In the future age of the five turbidities, we shall uphold the Dharma,’—In the future evil world filled with the five turbidities (referring to the turbidity of the age, views, afflictions, beings, and life), we shall uphold the Dharma. ‘If repeatedly admonished and scolded, and evil people inflict beatings, if there are such people in that time, I shall teach them to repent and blame themselves,’—If someone is repeatedly admonished but is scolded and even beaten by evil people, if such people still exist at that time, I shall teach them to reflect on themselves and repent. ‘At that time, we shall endure all suffering, for all humans and non-humans, grant us a prediction,’—At that time, we shall endure all kinds of suffering, for all humans and non-humans (referring to the eight classes of gods and dragons), please grant us a prediction. ‘We shall all decay, not greedy for life, but only wish to be in solitude, without craving for offerings.’—Even if our bodies decay, we will not be greedy for or cherish life, but only wish to practice in solitude, without any craving for offerings. The Buddha then spoke the following verses for these five hundred disciples: ‘These five hundred disciples, now all gathered here, in the future, they shall all generate the Bodhi mind,’—These five hundred disciples, now all gathered here, in the future, they shall all generate the Bodhi mind. ‘They will still experience some minor hardships, and their lifespans will be relatively short, but at that time, wherever they are, they will see countless offerings,’—They will still experience some minor hardships, and their lifespans will be relatively short, but at that time, wherever they are, they will see countless offerings. ‘When I first generated the Bodhi mind, I also endured hardships in every life, if you learn to do as I did, you will become the king among humans (referring to the Buddha),’—When I first generated the Bodhi mind, I also endured hardships in every life, if you learn to do as I did, you will become the king among humans (referring to the Buddha). ‘The essence of the Dharma is emptiness, without self.’—The essence of the Dharma is emptiness, without the concept of ‘self’. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ， 哀一切数说是， 我尔时于彼世， 为若等现形像。 诸菩萨皆欢喜， 赞叹言佛常在， 为一切作安隐， 示现人佛形像。 一切刹与十方， 今现在诸法王， 佛为诸菩萨故， 皆悉放大光明。 无胜慈弘大士， 今现在第四天， 数劝乐诸菩萨， 亦劝勉示深法。 尔时世作行者， 多有人皆发意， 如宿命有余殃， 若意乱应毕罪。 志所索无厌极， 亦不能自饱满， 他余事不乐作， 常求佛菩萨行。 诸弟子莫愁忧， 虽勤苦不能久， 于是世寿终后， 便生上兜术天。 当愿生安隐国， 寿无极法王前， 妙药王国土中， 无怒佛教授处。 常当愿到彼生， 于是世寿终后， 便于彼得神足， 悉供养诸佛前。 行六法得自成， 今佛时悉授决， 皆度脱三恶道， 以远离八难处。 诸邪道及大网， 以裂坏得脱去， 无所著缘一觉， 于其中悉过上。”

尔时五百弟子闻佛授与决，皆大欢喜，即住虚空中去地二十丈，从上来下，为佛作礼，白佛言：“我等、私呵昧云何得封拜？” 佛尔时便笑，无央数色，色各异，从佛口出，光照无央数佛国，还绕身三匝，于顶上便不见。 尔时 现代汉语译本： 哀叹一切数论的说法， 我那时在那样的世界里，为你们示现各种各样的形象。 诸位菩萨都非常欢喜，赞叹说佛永远都在， 为一切众生带来安宁，示现人佛的形象。 一切佛土与十方世界，现在所有的法王（Dharma Raja，佛的别称）， 佛为了诸位菩萨的缘故，都放出大光明。 无胜慈弘大士（一位菩萨的名称），现在在第四天（指欲界第四天，兜率天）， 多次劝导和鼓励诸位菩萨，也劝勉他们展示深奥的佛法。 那时在世间修行的行者，很多人都发起了菩提心， 如果宿世有剩余的罪业，或者心意散乱，应该彻底忏悔罪业。 对于所追求的目标没有厌倦，也不能自我满足， 对于其他的事情不乐意去做，常常寻求佛和菩萨的修行。 诸位弟子不要愁忧，虽然勤苦修行，但不会长久， 在这个世界的寿命终结后，便会往生到上兜率天（Tushita Heaven）。 愿往生到安稳的佛国，在寿命无量的法王（Dharma Raja）面前， 在妙药王（Bhaisajya-raja，药王菩萨）的国土中，在无怒佛（Akshobhya Buddha，不动佛）教授的地方。 常常发愿往生到那里，在这个世界的寿命终结后， 在那里就能得到神通，在诸佛面前供养。 修行六度（Six Paramitas）得到成就，现在佛陀时代都得到授记， 都能够度脱三恶道（Three Evil Realms），远离八难（Eight Difficulties）。 各种邪道和大网，都能够破裂摧毁而脱离， 无所执著，缘于一觉（Pratyekabuddha，缘觉），在其中都超越之上。 那时五百弟子听到佛陀授记，都非常欢喜，立即住在虚空中，距离地面二十丈，从空中下来，为佛作礼，禀告佛陀说：‘我们私呵昧（Sihamegha）将如何得到授记？’ 佛陀那时便笑了，无数的光芒，各自不同，从佛口中发出，光明照耀无数的佛国，返回来围绕佛身三圈，在佛的头顶上便消失不见。 那时

English version: Alas, all the number theories are spoken of, At that time, in that world, I manifested various forms for you. All the Bodhisattvas were delighted, praising that the Buddha is always present, Bringing peace to all beings, manifesting the image of a human Buddha. All Buddha lands and the ten directions, all the Dharma Rajas (another name for Buddha) now present, For the sake of all Bodhisattvas, the Buddha emits great light. The Great Being of Unsurpassed Compassion (name of a Bodhisattva), now in the Fourth Heaven (Tushita Heaven), Repeatedly advises and encourages all Bodhisattvas, and also exhorts them to demonstrate profound Dharma. At that time, many practitioners in the world developed Bodhicitta (the aspiration for enlightenment), If there is remaining karma from past lives, or if the mind is distracted, one should thoroughly repent of sins. There is no weariness for what is sought, nor can one be self-satisfied, One is not happy to do other things, and constantly seeks the practice of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. All disciples, do not worry, although diligent practice is hard, it will not last long, After the end of life in this world, one will be reborn in the upper Tushita Heaven. May we be reborn in a peaceful Buddha land, before the Dharma Raja (Buddha) of immeasurable life, In the land of Bhaisajya-raja (Medicine King Bodhisattva), in the place where Akshobhya Buddha (Immovable Buddha) teaches. Always vow to be born there, after the end of life in this world, There one will obtain supernatural powers, and make offerings before all Buddhas. Practicing the Six Paramitas (Six Perfections) to achieve self-accomplishment, now in the time of the Buddha, all receive predictions, All can be delivered from the Three Evil Realms, and be far away from the Eight Difficulties. All evil paths and great nets can be broken and destroyed to escape, Without attachment, due to a Pratyekabuddha (Solitary Buddha), in which all are surpassed. At that time, the five hundred disciples heard the Buddha's prediction, and were all very happy. They immediately dwelt in the empty space, twenty zhang (丈, a Chinese unit of measurement) away from the ground, came down from above, prostrated to the Buddha, and said to the Buddha: 'How will we, Sihamegha (Lion Cloud), receive the prediction?' At that time, the Buddha smiled, countless rays of light, each different, emanated from the Buddha's mouth, the light illuminated countless Buddha lands, returned and circled the Buddha's body three times, and disappeared on the top of the Buddha's head. At that time --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

阿难从坐起，正衣服，右膝着地，叉手，头面着佛足，白佛言：“佛何因缘笑？既笑，当有意。” 佛尔时便为阿难说偈言： “私呵昧在上头， 弟子中师第一， 皆当共同一劫， 于人中为尊雄。 当于是贤善劫， 后五浊弊恶世， 悉于中毕其罪， 便从是得神足。 然其后神足具， 便飞到亿刹土， 供养已便得佛， 其佛号莲花上。” 尔时五百弟子于佛前赞叹佛说偈言： “今佛说吾等辈， 得封拜当为佛， 教一切作功德， 无央数不起念。 我尔时时法王， 当住于阎浮提， 菩萨者道树经， 为一切广说法。 若有人闻经问， 便即起菩萨意， 吾等辈皆劝佛， 愿尊雄授与决。 今佛者一切父， 常愍伤人非人， 用子故加慈哀， 大尊将分别说。 当尔时于是经， 然于后起恭敬， 便即起菩萨意， 为人故问其义。 大尊雄为具说， 菩萨意有何德， 若黠人闻是法， 便发起菩萨意。” 佛尔时为五百弟子说偈言： “若有闻便信者， 菩萨树无上尊， 我一切授与决， 皆当得人中王。 意所愿勇猛大， 发菩萨便直前， 其志意甚清净， 便得生清净实。 于色欲 现代汉语译本 阿难从座位上站起来，整理好衣服，右膝跪地，合掌，头面触碰佛的脚，对佛说：‘佛陀因为什么因缘而笑？既然笑了，一定有其用意。’ 这时佛陀就为阿难说了偈语： ‘私呵昧（Sihamei，人名）在上头，弟子中是第一，都应当共同经历一个劫（kalpa，佛教时间单位），在人中成为尊贵的英雄。 应当在这个贤善劫（bhadrakalpa，贤善之劫），在后五浊弊恶世（five turbidities，末法时期），全部在这里结束他们的罪业，便从此得到神足（supernatural power，神通）。 然后他的神足具足，便飞到亿万刹土（buddha-field，佛国），供养后便成佛，他的佛号是莲花上（Padmottara，佛名）。’ 这时五百弟子在佛前赞叹佛，说了偈语： ‘现在佛陀说我们这些人，得到封授，将要成佛，教导一切人做功德，无数次不起杂念。 我那时作为法王（Dharmaraja，佛的称号），将住在阎浮提（Jambudvipa，我们所居住的娑婆世界），菩萨在菩提树下，为一切人广泛说法。 如果有人听闻佛经提问，便立即生起菩萨的意念，我们这些人全都劝请佛陀，愿世尊授予我们决（vyakarana，授记）。 现在佛陀是一切众生的父亲，常常怜悯人和非人，因为子女的缘故加以慈悲怜爱，大尊将要分别解说。 当那时对于这部经，然后在以后生起恭敬心，便立即生起菩萨的意念，为了他人而提问经义。 大尊雄为他们详细解说，菩萨的意念有什么功德，如果聪明人听闻这个法，便发起菩萨的意念。’ 这时佛陀为五百弟子说了偈语： ‘如果有人听闻便相信，菩萨树是无上尊，我全部授予他们决，都将得到人中之王。 意念所愿勇猛广大，发起菩萨心便直往前行，他们的志意非常清净，便能生于清净的实境。 在**
