English version The Sutra of the Virtuous Immaculate Woman Spoken by the Buddha Translated by the Tripiṭaka Master竺法护 (Zhú Fǎhù) of the Western Jin Dynasty Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was in Mount Gṛdhrakūṭa (Vulture Peak) in Rāmagṛha (Rajgir), together with numerous beings such as Bodhisattvas, great disciples, scholars, female scholars, gods, humans, Asuras (demigods), ghosts, spirits, and dragons. At that time, the Buddha was expounding the Dharma. At that time, in the assembly, there was a Brahmin householder named Sudāna, whose wife was named Bhalliyā. Together with nine hundred and seventy-five billion women, they joined their palms and listened to the Sutra. At that time, Bhalliyā was pregnant. The daughter in her womb had fully formed her body and was also joining her palms in the womb to listen to the Sutra. The worthy Aniruddha, with his power of merit and penetrating vision, saw this girl joining her palms in the womb to listen to the Sutra. He thought to himself, 'Those in the assembly can only see with their eyes and cannot perceive formless things, as I can.' Then he felt fortunate and his face was filled with joy. The Buddha said to Aniruddha, 'What have you seen that makes your heart so joyful?' Aniruddha said, 'With my penetrating vision, I saw the girl in the womb joining her palms to listen to the Sutra, and that is why I am so happy.' The Buddha said, 'Excellent, excellent! It is as you say. For example, can the light of the stars be compared to the light of the sun and moon? What you have seen among the Śrāvakas (hearers) is the foremost, and no one can surpass you. What the Tathāgata observes is that he can equally see all the birds and beasts in the ten directions, and all the insects in the ground, all of whom are pregnant, and their children in the womb are also listening to the Sutra just as you have seen.' At that time, Aniruddha and all those in the assembly had doubts. The Buddha emitted light, illuminating without limit, without obstruction in the eight directions, above and below, causing all the beings in countless lands to be seen as if reflected in a mirror, both inside and out. Aniruddha and the others looked up at the empty sky and saw the birds hovering in the air, listening to what the Buddha was saying, the fetuses --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

中之卵未生未孚，于鸟胎中亦复舒翅布翼听经；俯视走兽四足之类，辍草止水竦立听经；胞胎所怀亦于胎中，屈前两足一心听经；虫蛇蚯蚓地生之类，静身不摇精意听经；中有怀妊子未产生者，亦于胎中举头槃身一心听经。 时阿那律承佛威神，以八种音问胎中女：“鸟卵虫兽胎中之子，用何等故，叉手舒翼，屈足槃身，一心听经？” 时女之等诸在胎者，答阿那律：“我用一切生者之类，迷于五处不识正道，是故听经；及用一切多淫怒痴生死不绝，是故听经；用一切人不孝父母，不供事佛及比丘僧，是故听经。” 时阿那律，闻其所说，长跪白佛：“忆知世尊功德威神洞彻如此，我宁以身陷在地狱，受众苦毒累劫无数，不取罗汉。所以者何？诸在胞胎未见身者，尚发大意念救一切，我今用身以死畏故，为想识所缚，譬如死人无益生者。” 时女乃生从右胁出，三千国土为大震动，有无数天止在虚空，雨于天华作诸音乐，则有自然千叶莲华，大如车轮，茎如琉璃，女坐其上。时诸天人飞鸟走兽虫蛇蚯蚓诸怀妊者，亦皆出生，譬如王者征行之时，群官大小莫不随从；于是天帝，即持天衣，从上来下，以用与女，裸形可恶，取此衣着；忉利天子及诸王女，亦皆持衣与诸众生。 时女报言： 现代汉语译本：卵中的生命尚未孵化，在鸟的胎中也舒展翅膀聆听佛经；俯视那些四足行走的走兽，它们停止啃草饮水，肃立聆听佛经；那些在母体子宫中的胎儿，也在胎中蜷曲前肢，一心一意地聆听佛经；虫、蛇、蚯蚓等在地上生存的生物，安静身体，不摇不动，专心致志地聆听佛经；那些怀有身孕，孩子尚未出生的母亲，她们腹中的胎儿也抬起头，盘曲身体，一心一意地聆听佛经。 这时，阿那律（Aniruddha，佛陀的十大弟子之一，以天眼第一著称）凭借佛陀的威神之力，用八种声音询问胎中的女子：‘鸟卵、虫类、走兽以及胎中的孩子，因为什么缘故，合掌、舒展翅膀，蜷曲四肢、盘曲身体，一心一意地聆听佛经？’ 这时，那些在胎中的女子们回答阿那律（Aniruddha）：‘我们因为一切众生，迷惑于眼、耳、鼻、舌、身这五处，不能认识正确的道路，所以听经；以及因为一切众生多有淫欲、嗔怒、愚痴，生死轮回不能停止，所以听经；因为一切人不孝顺父母，不供养佛和比丘僧众，所以听经。’ 这时，阿那律（Aniruddha）听到她们所说的话，长跪合掌对佛说：‘我这才知道世尊的功德威神如此洞彻，我宁愿以身陷在地狱，遭受各种痛苦毒害，经历无数劫，也不要证得阿罗汉果位（Arhat，小乘佛教的最高果位）。为什么呢？那些还在胞胎中，尚未见到身体的众生，尚且发起大愿，想要救度一切众生，我如今却因为贪生怕死，被想、识所束缚，就像死人一样，对活着的人没有任何益处。’ 这时，那个女子从母亲的右胁出生，三千国土发生巨大的震动，有无数的天人停留在虚空中，散落天花，演奏各种音乐，随即出现天然的千叶莲花，大如车轮，花茎如同琉璃，女子坐在莲花之上。这时，诸天人、飞鸟、走兽、虫蛇、蚯蚓以及所有怀有身孕的母亲，也都一起生产，就像国王出行的时候，所有大小官员没有不跟随一样；于是天帝（Deva King，佛教的护法神），立即拿着天衣，从上而下，用来给这个女子，因为裸露身体令人厌恶，穿上这件衣服；忉利天（Trāyastriṃśa，佛教欲界六天之一）的天子以及各位王女，也都拿着衣服给予这些众生。 这时，女子回答说：

English version: Those within eggs, unhatched and unfeathered, even in the wombs of birds, spread their wings and listen to the sutras; looking down upon the four-legged beasts, they cease grazing and drinking, standing upright to listen to the sutras; those within the womb, curl their forelegs and listen to the sutras with one mind; worms, snakes, earthworms, and other creatures born of the earth, still their bodies and listen to the sutras with focused intent; among them are pregnant mothers whose children are yet unborn, who also raise their heads and coil their bodies in the womb, listening to the sutras with one mind. Then Aniruddha (one of the ten major disciples of the Buddha, known for his divine vision), relying on the Buddha's majestic power, asked the woman in the womb with eight kinds of sounds: 'Why do the eggs of birds, insects, beasts, and children in the womb, fold their hands, spread their wings, curl their legs, coil their bodies, and listen to the sutras with one mind?' Then the women in the wombs answered Aniruddha (one of the ten major disciples of the Buddha, known for his divine vision): 'We listen to the sutras because all sentient beings are deluded by the five senses (eye, ear, nose, tongue, and body), unable to recognize the right path; and because all beings have excessive lust, anger, and ignorance, and the cycle of birth and death cannot be stopped; we listen to the sutras because all people are unfilial to their parents, and do not make offerings to the Buddha and the Sangha of monks.' Then Aniruddha (one of the ten major disciples of the Buddha, known for his divine vision), hearing what they said, knelt down and said to the Buddha: 'Now I know that the World-Honored One's merits and majestic power are so thorough. I would rather fall into hell and suffer all kinds of pain and poison for countless kalpas (aeons), than attain the state of Arhat (the highest state in Theravada Buddhism). Why? Those who are still in the womb and have not yet seen their bodies, still make great vows to save all beings. Now I am bound by thought and consciousness because of my fear of death, like a dead person who is of no benefit to the living.' At that moment, the woman was born from her mother's right side, and three thousand lands shook greatly. Countless devas (gods) stopped in the sky, scattering heavenly flowers and playing various kinds of music. Then there appeared natural thousand-petaled lotus flowers, as large as chariot wheels, with stems like lapis lazuli, and the woman sat upon them. At that time, all the devas (gods), birds, beasts, insects, snakes, earthworms, and all pregnant mothers also gave birth, just as when a king goes on an expedition, all the officials, great and small, follow him; then the Deva King (a protector deity in Buddhism), immediately took a heavenly robe and came down from above to give it to the woman, because her naked body was disgusting, and she put on this robe; the sons of Trāyastriṃśa Heaven (one of the six heavens of desire in Buddhism) and the daughters of the kings also took clothes and gave them to all beings. At that time, the woman replied: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“其有未脱欲泥洹，吾等不从有所受也。卿为罗汉，我志菩萨，卿非我类，所愿不同。” 天帝复言：“我以女身裸露可恶，是以持衣用相与耳。” 女复报言：“于大乘法无男无女，我今当有自然衣来。” 佛语天帝：“如是不为装挍女身，发菩萨心自致相好，所现无限乃为装挍菩萨身耳。” 时舍利弗，深怪此女变动乃尔，前白佛言：“此女从何国来到是间乎，谁当送衣？” 佛言：“是女从东南方捭楼延法习佛所来，刹名阎浮檀国，去此十万佛刹，女从本国来欲见佛，自当有衣从本国来。”衣便自然在空中来肃肃有声，空中有音则语女言：“可着此衣，当得五通。” 又女本国尽得五通，女得衣着，便从华上下至佛所，女一举足，天地即为六反震动，一切母人，皆发无上平等度意，飞鸟虫兽莫不转身即化为人，身衣天衣珠璎服饰。女以头面稽首佛足，三言南无三耶三佛，长跪白佛：“愿为一切诸来会者，广说经法令得所愿。”佛随其意即为说经。 是时此女及九百七十五亿母人，闻佛所说，踊跃欢喜不复贸身，便立佛前化成男子，各各脱璎珞珠宝用散佛上。佛之威神，令其所散自然变成珠交露帐，中有七宝师子之座，上有坐佛举手赞之，应时皆得阿惟越致。鸟兽虫 现代汉语译本： ‘如果还有人没有脱离欲望，想要进入涅槃（Nirvana，寂灭），我们不会接受他们的供养。你是阿罗汉（Arhat，声闻乘的最高果位），我立志成为菩萨（Bodhisattva，追求觉悟的修行者），你我不是同类，愿望也不同。’ 天帝（Deva，佛教中的护法神）又说：‘我因为身为女身，形态丑陋，所以才拿着衣服来供养你。’ 该女子回答说：‘在大乘佛法（Mahayana，佛教的一个主要流派）中，没有男女之分。我现在自然会有衣服到来。’ 佛（Buddha，觉悟者）告诉天帝：‘像这样不为装饰女身，发菩萨心，自然成就相好庄严，所展现的无量功德，才是真正庄严菩萨之身。’ 当时，舍利弗（Sariputra，佛陀的十大弟子之一）深感奇怪，这女子的变化竟然如此之大，于是上前禀告佛说：‘这女子从哪个国家来到这里？谁会给她送衣服？’ 佛说：‘这女子从东南方的捭楼延法习佛处而来，那个刹土（Buddhakṣetra，佛所居住的国土）名为阎浮檀国（Jambudvipa，四大部洲之一），距离这里有十万佛刹。这女子从本国来，想要见佛，自然会有衣服从本国而来。’衣服便自然地在空中出现，发出肃肃的声音，空中有声音告诉女子说：‘可以穿上这件衣服，将会获得五神通（Pañcābhijñā，佛教中的五种神通）。’ 而且这女子的本国都证得了五神通。女子得到衣服穿上后，便从莲花上下来到佛的面前。女子每走一步，天地都会发生六种震动。一切女性都发起了无上平等度化众生的心愿，飞鸟虫兽无不转身立即化为人形，身穿天衣，佩戴珠玉璎珞。女子以头面顶礼佛足，三次称念‘南无三耶三佛（Namo Samyak-saṃbuddha，皈依正等觉佛）’，长跪禀告佛说：‘愿为一切前来集会的人，广泛宣说经法，使他们能够如愿。’佛随顺她的心意，就为他们宣说经法。 这时，这位女子以及九百七十五亿女性，听闻佛所说，踊跃欢喜，不再想改变自己的身体，便站在佛前化成男子，各自脱下璎珞珠宝，用来散在佛的身上。佛的威神之力，使她们所散的珠宝自然变成珠交露帐，帐中出现七宝狮子之座，座上有佛举手赞叹她们，应时都得到了阿惟越致（Avaivartika，不退转）。鸟兽虫
