English version: I constantly wish to go with my mother to see millions of billions of Nayuta (Nayuta, a unit of quantity, representing an extremely large number) Buddhas, constantly wish to listen to the Dharma spoken by all the Buddhas with my mother, constantly wish to go with my mother to see all the places where Bodhisattvas practice, constantly wish to go with my mother to see all the places where Bodhisattvas purify the Buddha Dharma, constantly wish to go with my mother to see all the places of indestructible pure faith, constantly wish to go with my mother to see all the places where Buddha's work is done, constantly wish to go with my mother to see all the places where incense, flowers, clothing, bedding, medicine are offered to the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha, constantly wish to go with my mother to see all the places where saints practice the Dharma, constantly wish to go with my mother to see all the places where the roots of faith are accomplished, without perversion, and attain Nirvana. At that time, Yueyun (Yueyun, a person's name) said to Yueguang (Yueguang, a person's name): 'Excellent! Excellent! It is wonderful to hear you say this. You are truly compassionate, deeply compassionate towards your parents, guiding good deeds like a great teacher. You are indeed like that, and I now believe and accept all the Dharma you have spoken. Now, for the sake of my own pure mind, and also for the sake of the peace and stability of all sentient beings, I generate the Bodhi mind, the vast mind, the supreme mind, the immeasurable mind, the joyful mind, generate a pure mind, and in all Dharmas, attain a mind without doubt, a mind without perversion, and complete faith. Among the Sangha, those who possess liberation and the knowledge and vision of liberation, who can break all afflictions and bonds, should be regarded with pure faith, offered to, and respected. The virtues of the Buddha are immeasurable, the practices of the Buddha are immeasurable, the realms of the Buddha are immeasurable, the wonderful Dharma spoken is also immeasurable, and the benefits to sentient beings are also immeasurable. Just as you said, the virtues of the Buddha are boundless, and I now lack the wisdom to fully express the virtues of the Buddha. Yueguang! I always believe in the Buddha and do not generate evil thoughts. You are able to fully explain that you are truly my greatest good teacher, able to speak to me of the Buddha's immeasurable virtues, even in immeasurable millions of Asamkhya kalpas (Asamkhya kalpa, an extremely long unit of time), speaking of the Buddha's virtues without weariness, without limit.' At that time, Yueyun spoke a verse for her son: 'For immeasurable hundreds of millions of billions of kalpas, the name of the Buddha is difficult to hear, let alone see. You are able to generate supreme faith in the Buddha, such faith is truly rare to obtain. I now believe in the Buddha's immeasurable virtues, it is impossible to hear, let alone see with the eyes. You have now come to be born in my family,' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 我今见汝如导师。 能使我心清净信， 不可思议诸佛法， 汝今犹如我父母， 亦如诸佛生我家。 譬如父母将子去， 得至诸佛无漏处， 我等无量千万劫， 不能报汝今日恩。 汝真是我善知识， 世世常为清净导， 令我安住最胜念， 决定信佛无有疑。 永得出于三恶趣， 常得安住人天道， 非惟是我善知识， 亦是众生善知识。 尚欲度脱他众生， 况复眷属亲父母， 能令合家诸眷属， 破坏一切诸怨结， 亦复远离三恶趣， 超出住于天人道。 佛出世间甚为难， 经于无量百千劫， 汝今能来生我家， 希有难值亦如是， 汝今真是大丈夫， 善能巧说微妙法， 汝今真是诸佛子， 于佛常生欢喜信。 谁今与我难得儿， 今乃来生在我家， 我子月光甚希有， 常能赞叹一切佛。”

尔时，德护长者家内眷属一千婇女，闻月云夫人及月光童子说是偈已，皆大欢喜踊跃无量，同声赞言：“善哉！善哉！不可思议，不可思议。月光福伽罗数生我家，此丈夫者尚难得闻，何况得见？是人随所生处，或阎浮提城邑聚落。若有见闻亲近供养，共坐共语永离恶道，何况生在家中而不利益？父母亲属令离恶道。” 尔时 现代汉语译本 我现在视您如同导师一般。 您能使我的内心清净并生起信心，对于不可思议的诸佛之法。 您现在就像我的父母一样，也如同诸佛降生于我家。 譬如父母带着孩子前往，到达诸佛无漏之处（指没有烦恼和业障的境界）， 我们即使经过无量千万劫，也无法报答您今日的恩情。 您真是我最好的善知识（指引导人们走向正道的良师益友），世世代代常为我指引清净的道路， 使我安住于最殊胜的念头，坚定地相信佛陀而没有丝毫怀疑。 永远脱离三恶趣（指地狱、饿鬼、畜生三道），常常能够安住在人天道（指人道和天道）， 您不仅是我的善知识，也是所有众生的善知识。 尚且想要度脱其他的众生，更何况是眷属和亲生父母呢， 能够使全家的所有眷属，破坏一切的怨恨和纠结， 也能够远离三恶趣，超出轮回而安住在天人道。 佛陀出现在世间是非常难得的，要经过无量百千劫的时间， 您现在能够降生于我家，这种稀有难得的情况也是如此， 您现在真是大丈夫，善于巧妙地说出微妙的佛法， 您现在真是诸佛之子，对于佛陀常常生起欢喜和信心。 谁现在能给我这样难得的儿子，现在竟然降生在我的家中， 我的儿子月光（指月光童子）非常稀有，常常能够赞叹一切佛。' 当时，德护长者（指德护长者）家中的一千名婇女（指宫女），听到月云夫人（指月云夫人）和月光童子（指月光童子）说了这些偈颂后，都非常欢喜，踊跃无量，同声赞叹说：'太好了！太好了！不可思议，不可思议。月光福伽罗（指具有福德的人）降生于我家，这样的人尚且难以听闻，更何况是得见呢？这个人无论出生在何处，或是阎浮提（指我们所居住的这个世界）的城邑聚落。如果有人见到、听到、亲近、供养他，与他一起坐着交谈，就能永远脱离恶道，更何况是出生在家中而不带来利益呢？他能使父母亲属远离恶道。' 当时

English version Now I see you as a guide. You can purify my mind and generate faith in the inconceivable Dharma of all Buddhas. You are now like my parents, and like all Buddhas born into my home. It is like parents taking their child to reach the undefiled place of all Buddhas (referring to the state without afflictions and karmic obstacles), Even if we spend countless millions of kalpas, we cannot repay your kindness today. You are truly my good advisor (referring to a virtuous teacher and friend who guides people towards the right path), always guiding me on the path of purity in every lifetime, Enabling me to dwell in the most supreme thought, firmly believing in the Buddha without any doubt. Forever escaping the three evil realms (referring to the realms of hell, hungry ghosts, and animals), and always able to dwell in the realms of humans and gods (referring to the realms of humans and devas), You are not only my good advisor, but also the good advisor of all sentient beings. You even want to liberate other sentient beings, let alone relatives and biological parents, Able to enable all the family members to destroy all hatred and entanglements, And also able to stay away from the three evil realms, transcending reincarnation and dwelling in the realms of humans and gods. It is very rare for a Buddha to appear in the world, requiring countless hundreds of thousands of kalpas, Now you are able to be born into my home, this rare and difficult situation is also the same, You are truly a great man now, skilled at skillfully speaking the subtle Dharma, You are truly the son of all Buddhas now, constantly generating joy and faith in the Buddha. Who can give me such a rare son now, who is now born into my home, My son Moonlight (referring to Moonlight Child) is very rare, and is always able to praise all Buddhas.' At that time, the one thousand consorts in the house of Elder Dehu (referring to Elder Dehu), after hearing Lady Yueyun (referring to Lady Yueyun) and Moonlight Child (referring to Moonlight Child) speak these verses, were all very happy, leaping with immeasurable joy, and praised in unison: 'Excellent! Excellent! Inconceivable, inconceivable. Moonlight Puggala (referring to a person with merit) is born into my home, such a man is difficult to even hear about, let alone see? Wherever this person is born, whether in the cities and villages of Jambudvipa (referring to the world we live in). If someone sees, hears, approaches, and makes offerings to him, and sits and talks with him, they will be forever free from the evil paths, let alone being born in the home without bringing benefits? He can enable parents and relatives to stay away from the evil paths.' At that time --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

，德护长者送外道已，便出王舍城诣耆阇崛山，躬往请佛。遥见世尊相好庄严不可思议六根寂静，得最胜陀摩他奢摩他，得最胜第一陀摩他奢摩他，守护诸根如调大龙，如大池水清净不浊，放无量百千亿那由他光焰，威德严仪难可睹觐见者欢喜。 德护长者既至佛所，种种软语共相劳问，白佛言：“愿佛及僧怜愍，受我明日供养。”佛知长者受化时至，默然受请。 长者知已，心生欢喜，稽首辞退下耆阇崛山，入王舍城至六师家。到已，作如是言：“沙门瞿昙及诸徒众已受我请，以是得知非一切智。”诸外道等闻是语已，心生欢喜，倍增踊跃，庆赖无量喜满身心，语长者言：“今可还家，速办所设火坑毒食，如上所说令遂所志。” 尔时长者即便还家，敕语家人营办斯事。时子月光，见父兴心造作恶事，心生忧悴而谏父言：“此事不吉，莫于佛所起不善业。何以故？诸佛难坏故，一切天、人、龙及鬼神，若于如来起恶逆者无能破坏，一切刀剑不能伤毁，一切猛火不能烧害，设地狱火烧之不暖，况人火耶？如劫尽时七日并现，三千大千世界满中盛火，烧至梵天及铁围山，尚不能烧佛之一衣，况欲以此微小火坑烧害如来，无有是处。设霹雳火如须弥山，尚不能至如来行迹四威仪处，况此火坑而能烧害？ 现代汉语译本：德护长者送走外道后，便离开王舍城前往耆阇崛山（Grdhrakuta），亲自去邀请佛陀。远远地看见世尊相貌庄严，不可思议，六根寂静，证得了最殊胜的陀摩他（Dhamatha，止）和奢摩他（Samatha，观），证得了最殊胜第一的陀摩他奢摩他，守护诸根就像调伏大龙一样，如同大池之水清澈不浑浊，放出无量百千亿那由他（Niyuta，数量单位）的光焰，威德庄严的仪态难以直视，见到的人都心生欢喜。 德护长者到达佛陀处所后，用各种柔和的言语互相问候，禀告佛陀说：‘愿佛陀和僧众慈悲怜悯，接受我明日的供养。’佛陀知道长者接受教化的时机已到，便默然接受了邀请。 长者知道佛陀应允后，心中欢喜，顶礼辞别，下耆阇崛山，进入王舍城来到六师（指六位外道宗师）的住所。到达后，这样说道：‘沙门瞿昙（释迦牟尼佛）和他的弟子们已经接受了我的邀请，由此可知他并非一切智者。’那些外道们听到这话后，心中欢喜，更加兴奋，庆幸依赖，无量的喜悦充满身心，对外长者说：‘现在可以回家了，赶快准备好设置的火坑和毒食，按照之前所说的去做，以达成你的心愿。’ 当时，长者立刻回到家中，吩咐家人准备这些事情。当时他的儿子月光，看到父亲兴起心思制造恶事，心中忧愁，劝谏父亲说：‘这件事不吉利，不要在佛陀那里造作不善的业。为什么呢？诸佛难以被摧毁的缘故，一切天、人、龙以及鬼神，如果对如来（Tathagata，佛的称号）生起恶逆之心，也没有谁能够破坏，一切刀剑不能伤害摧毁，一切猛火不能烧害，即使用地狱之火来烧他也不会感到温暖，更何况是人间的火呢？如同劫尽之时七个太阳同时出现，三千大千世界中充满盛大的火焰，燃烧到梵天（Brahma，色界天的最高层）以及铁围山（Cakravada，包围世界的山），尚且不能烧毁佛陀的一件衣服，更何况想要用这微小的火坑来烧害如来，这是不可能的。即使是霹雳之火如同须弥山（Sumeru，佛教宇宙观中的圣山），尚且不能到达如来行走坐卧的四威仪之处，更何况这火坑能够烧害呢？’

English version: After Deva-rakshita (德护) the householder had seen the heretics off, he left Rajagriha (王舍城) and went to Mount Gridhrakuta (耆阇崛山), personally inviting the Buddha. From afar, he saw the World-Honored One with his magnificent and inconceivable marks, his six senses stilled, having attained the supreme Dhamatha (陀摩他, cessation) and Shamatha (奢摩他, tranquility), having attained the supreme and foremost Dhamatha and Shamatha, guarding his senses like a tamed great dragon, like a great pond of water, clear and unpolluted, emitting immeasurable hundreds of thousands of millions of Nayutas (那由他, a large number) of flames of light. His majestic and dignified appearance was difficult to behold, and those who saw him rejoiced. Having arrived at the Buddha's place, Deva-rakshita the householder greeted him with various gentle words and said to the Buddha, 'May the Buddha and the Sangha have compassion and accept my offering tomorrow.' The Buddha knew that the time for the householder to be converted had arrived, and he silently accepted the invitation. Knowing this, the householder was delighted. He bowed and took his leave, descending Mount Gridhrakuta and entering Rajagriha to the homes of the six teachers (六师, the six heretical teachers). Having arrived, he said, 'The Shramana Gautama (沙门瞿昙, Shakyamuni Buddha) and his disciples have accepted my invitation, from which it can be known that he is not omniscient.' When the heretics heard these words, they were delighted, even more excited, rejoicing and relying on it, immeasurable joy filling their bodies and minds. They said to the householder, 'Now you can return home and quickly prepare the fire pit and poisoned food that have been set up, and do as you said above to achieve your goal.' At that time, the householder immediately returned home and ordered his family to prepare these things. At that time, his son Chandra-prabha (月光), seeing his father's intention to create evil deeds, was worried and advised his father, 'This matter is not auspicious. Do not create unwholesome karma at the Buddha's place. Why? Because the Buddhas are difficult to destroy. If all the gods, humans, dragons, and spirits have evil intentions towards the Tathagata (如来, Thus Come One), no one can destroy him. All swords cannot harm or destroy him, and all fierce fires cannot burn or harm him. Even if the fires of hell were to burn him, they would not feel warm, let alone human fire. Like when seven suns appear at the end of a kalpa (劫, cosmic cycle), the three thousand great thousand worlds are filled with great flames, burning up to the Brahma (梵天, the highest heaven in the realm of form) and Mount Chakravada (铁围山, the iron ring mountains), yet they cannot burn even one garment of the Buddha, let alone harm the Tathagata with this tiny fire pit. This is impossible. Even if lightning fire were like Mount Sumeru (须弥山, the central mountain in Buddhist cosmology), it could not reach the four dignities of the Tathagata's walking, standing, sitting, and lying down, let alone this fire pit being able to harm him?' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
