众生故，发阿耨多罗三藐三菩提心。”作是念已，即问女言：“阿耨多罗三藐三菩提者，名为何法？” 坚固女言：“大德舍利弗！阿耨多罗三藐三菩提者，一切法中最上最胜更无过者，是名阿耨多罗三藐三菩提。复次，舍利弗！所言阿耨多罗三藐三菩提者，我不见彼法为阿耨多罗三藐三菩提。” 舍利弗言：“若不见有法名阿耨多罗三藐三菩提者，汝云何发菩提心欲觉菩提？” 女言：“欲令行邪道众生住正道故，我发阿耨多罗三藐三菩提心。” 舍利弗闻此语已，又问女言：“佛得阿耨多罗三藐三菩提时，不见法、不见道、不见果，汝见何利益欲觉菩提？” 女闻是已，语舍利弗言：“如是我得阿耨多罗三藐三菩提时，国土中所有弟子，如舍利弗、目犍连等，见此事故，我欲觉无上菩提。” 舍利弗言：“妹！不可得法中云何欲觉？” 女言：“如是，如是！舍利弗！我正欲觉此不可得法。不可得法，非得非不得故，以是故我欲觉阿耨多罗三藐三菩提，觉阿耨多罗三藐三菩提已转大法轮；转法轮时，令三千大千世界众生普得闻知。” 尔时，舍利弗问坚固妹言：“我云何知汝当来得阿耨多罗三藐三菩提转大法轮时，其声遍满三千大千世界？” 时坚固女 现代汉语译本： ‘因为众生的缘故，我发起了阿耨多罗三藐三菩提心。’这样想之后，就问那位女子说：‘阿耨多罗三藐三菩提（Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi，无上正等正觉）是什么法？’ 坚固女说：‘大德舍利弗（Sariputra）！阿耨多罗三藐三菩提，是一切法中最上最殊胜，没有比它更好的，这叫做阿耨多罗三藐三菩提。再者，舍利弗！所说的阿耨多罗三藐三菩提，我认为没有哪一种法可以被称为阿耨多罗三藐三菩提。’ 舍利弗说：‘如果认为没有哪一种法可以被称为阿耨多罗三藐三菩提，你又为何发起菩提心想要证得菩提呢？’ 女子说：‘为了让那些行走在邪道上的众生能够安住于正道，所以我发起了阿耨多罗三藐三菩提心。’ 舍利弗听了这话之后，又问女子说：‘佛陀证得阿耨多罗三藐三菩提时，不见法、不见道、不见果，你看到什么利益想要证得菩提呢？’ 女子听了这话，对舍利弗说：‘如果我证得阿耨多罗三藐三菩提时，我的国土中所有弟子，像舍利弗、目犍连（Maudgalyayana）等，都能见到这件事，所以我想要证得无上菩提。’ 舍利弗说：‘妹妹！在不可得的法中，你如何想要证得呢？’ 女子说：‘是的，是的！舍利弗！我正是想要证得这不可得的法。不可得的法，既非得也非不得，因此我想要证得阿耨多罗三藐三菩提，证得阿耨多罗三藐三菩提之后，就能转大法轮；转法轮时，能让三千大千世界（Trisahasra-Mahasahasra-lokadhatu）的众生普遍听闻知晓。’ 这时，舍利弗问坚固妹说：‘我如何得知你将来证得阿耨多罗三藐三菩提转大法轮时，其声音遍满三千大千世界呢？’ 当时，坚固女...

English version: ‘Because of sentient beings, I have generated the mind of Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi (unsurpassed, complete and perfect enlightenment).’ Having thought thus, he then asked the woman, saying, ‘What is this dharma called Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi?’ The Steadfast Woman said, ‘O Great Worthy Sariputra (Sariputra)! Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi is the most supreme and unsurpassed among all dharmas, with nothing exceeding it; this is called Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi. Furthermore, Sariputra! Regarding what is called Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi, I do not see any dharma that can be called Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi.’ Sariputra said, ‘If you do not see any dharma called Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi, then how do you generate the Bodhi mind, desiring to awaken to Bodhi?’ The woman said, ‘In order to lead sentient beings who are walking on wrong paths to abide in the right path, I have generated the mind of Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi.’ Having heard these words, Sariputra again asked the woman, saying, ‘When the Buddha attained Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi, he saw no dharma, no path, and no fruit. What benefit do you see that you desire to awaken to Bodhi?’ Having heard this, the woman said to Sariputra, ‘If I were to attain Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi, all the disciples in my land, such as Sariputra and Maudgalyayana (Maudgalyayana), would see this event. Therefore, I desire to awaken to unsurpassed Bodhi.’ Sariputra said, ‘Sister! How do you desire to awaken in a dharma that is unattainable?’ The woman said, ‘So it is, so it is! Sariputra! I precisely desire to awaken to this unattainable dharma. Because the unattainable dharma is neither attained nor unattained, therefore I desire to awaken to Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi. Having awakened to Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi, I will turn the great Dharma wheel; when turning the Dharma wheel, I will cause sentient beings in the Trisahasra-Mahasahasra-lokadhatu (three-thousand-great-thousand world system) to universally hear and know it.’ At that time, Sariputra asked the Steadfast Sister, saying, ‘How will I know that when you attain Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi in the future and turn the great Dharma wheel, its sound will pervade the three-thousand-great-thousand world system?’ At that time, the Steadfast Woman... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

即以右足大指按地，应时三千大千世界地大震动，唯舍利弗所坐之处其地不动。 时舍利弗作是念：“今此女人作大神通，乃能令此三千大千世界地皆震动，何故唯我坐处其地不动？为是佛力？为是我力？” 尔时，世尊知舍利弗心生念已，告舍利弗言：“于此地中，乃往过去有千女人同号坚固，皆于汝所坐处发阿耨多罗三藐三菩提心，现大神通受菩提记。于未来世弥勒出时，亦于此处有千女人同号坚固，发阿耨多罗三藐三菩提心，现大神力受菩提记，当得作佛号胜坚固如来、应、正遍知。” 时坚固女白佛言：“世尊！若佛菩提，非过去得、非现在得、非未来得者，云何世尊说有过去、现在、未来三世诸佛？” 佛言：“如是，如是！佛非过去得、非现在得、非未来得。所以说有过去、未来、现在诸佛者，此但假名说有三世，非谓诸佛有去来今。” 尔时坚固女白佛言：“世尊！以此法自觉自知，不从他闻因缘故，须发阿耨多罗三藐三菩提心。” 佛言：“善哉！善哉！能如是知，未来当得阿耨多罗三藐三菩提。” 女言：“世尊！无有见如是法不得菩提者，是故我今必定当得阿耨多罗三藐三菩提。” 佛言：“妹！汝未来世教化众生耶？” 女言：“世 现代汉语译本：随即，她用右脚的大拇指按压地面，当时三千大千世界（Sānqiān Dàqiān Shìjiè，佛教宇宙观中的一个宇宙）的大地都震动起来，唯独舍利弗（Shèlìfú，佛陀十大弟子之一，以智慧著称）所坐的地方没有震动。 当时舍利弗心想：‘这个女人展现了如此巨大的神通，竟然能够让这三千大千世界的大地都震动起来，为什么唯独我坐的地方没有震动呢？这是佛陀的力量？还是我自身的力量？’ 这时，世尊（Shìzūn，对佛陀的尊称）知道舍利弗心中所想，便告诉舍利弗说：‘在这块土地上，过去有千位名叫坚固（Jiāngù）的女人，都在你所坐的地方发起了阿耨多罗三藐三菩提心（Ānòu duō luō sānmiǎo sān pútí xīn，无上正等正觉之心），展现了巨大的神通，并接受了成佛的授记。在未来世，弥勒（Mílè，未来佛）出世的时候，也会有千位名叫坚固的女人，在这里发起阿耨多罗三藐三菩提心，展现大神力，接受成佛的授记，将来会成佛，佛号为胜坚固如来（Shèng Jiāngù Rúlái）、应（Yīng）、正遍知（Zhèng biànzhī）。’ 当时坚固女对佛说：‘世尊！如果佛陀的菩提（Pútí，觉悟）不是过去得到的、不是现在得到的、也不是未来得到的，那么世尊为什么说有过去、现在、未来三世诸佛呢？’ 佛说：‘是的，是的！佛陀不是过去得到的、不是现在得到的、也不是未来得到的。之所以说有过去、未来、现在诸佛，这只是假借名相说有三世，并不是说诸佛真的有过去、现在、未来。’ 这时坚固女对佛说：‘世尊！因为这个法是自己觉悟自己知道的，不是从他人那里听闻因缘而来的，所以才需要发起阿耨多罗三藐三菩提心。’ 佛说：‘好啊！好啊！能够这样理解，未来必定能够得到阿耨多罗三藐三菩提。’ 女说：‘世尊！没有见到像这样的法而不能得到菩提的，所以我现在必定能够得到阿耨多罗三藐三菩提。’ 佛说：‘妹妹！你未来世要教化众生吗？’ 女说：‘世

English version: Then, she pressed the ground with the big toe of her right foot, and immediately the earth of the three thousand great thousand worlds (Sānqiān Dàqiān Shìjiè, a cosmic system in Buddhist cosmology) shook greatly, except for the place where Śāriputra (Śāriputra, one of the ten great disciples of the Buddha, known for his wisdom) was sitting, which did not move. At that time, Śāriputra thought to himself: 'This woman is displaying such great supernatural powers that she can cause the earth of the three thousand great thousand worlds to shake. Why is it that only the place where I am sitting does not move? Is this the power of the Buddha? Or is it my own power?' At that time, the World Honored One (Śāriputra, a respectful title for the Buddha), knowing the thoughts in Śāriputra's mind, said to Śāriputra: 'In this land, in the past, there were a thousand women with the same name, Firm (Jiāngù), who all aroused the mind of Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi (Ānòu duō luō sānmiǎo sān pútí xīn, the mind of unsurpassed, right, and perfect enlightenment) in the place where you are sitting, displayed great supernatural powers, and received predictions of Buddhahood. In the future age, when Maitreya (Mílè, the future Buddha) appears, there will also be a thousand women with the same name, Firm, who will arouse the mind of Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi here, display great divine power, and receive predictions of Buddhahood. They will attain Buddhahood and be named Victorious Firm Thus Come One (Shèng Jiāngù Rúlái), Worthy of Offerings (Yīng), Perfectly Enlightened One (Zhèng biànzhī).' At that time, the Firm Woman said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One! If the Bodhi (Pútí, enlightenment) of the Buddha is not obtained in the past, not obtained in the present, and not obtained in the future, then why does the World Honored One say that there are Buddhas of the past, present, and future three periods?' The Buddha said: 'So it is, so it is! The Buddha is not obtained in the past, not obtained in the present, and not obtained in the future. The reason for saying that there are Buddhas of the past, future, and present is that these are merely provisional names for the three periods, not that the Buddhas truly have a past, present, and future.' At that time, the Firm Woman said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One! Because this Dharma is self-awakened and self-known, and not learned from others through conditions, it is necessary to arouse the mind of Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi.' The Buddha said: 'Excellent! Excellent! Being able to understand in this way, you will surely attain Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi in the future.' The woman said: 'World Honored One! There is no one who, having seen such a Dharma, does not attain Bodhi. Therefore, I will certainly attain Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi now.' The Buddha said: 'Sister! Will you teach and transform sentient beings in the future?' The woman said: 'World' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

尊！无有见如是法不教化者，是故我今必定当能教化众生。” 佛言：“汝于来世作大导师耶？” 女言：“世尊！无有见如是法不作导师，是故我今必定当得作大导师。” 尔时，天帝释持曼陀罗花于佛前立，以所持花与坚固女，作如是言：“汝持此花以散佛上。”时坚固女受此花已以散佛上，以佛神力住于虚空。 尔时世尊即便微笑，诸佛法尔，若微笑时，青黄赤白紫颇梨色，种种杂光从口中出，其光遍照至乎梵天，还至佛所绕佛三匝，还从顶入。 尔时，阿难白佛言：“世尊！诸佛非以无事及小因缘而便微笑；何因缘故如是微笑？” 佛告阿难：“汝见此坚固女不？是女于此命终，舍女人身得成男子，于星宿劫中得阿耨多罗三藐三菩提，号曰普见如来、应供、正遍知。其普见佛初会说法，有二十百千万亿人，得尽诸漏弃舍重担证阿罗汉；第二说法，有一十五百千万亿人得阿罗汉；第三说法，有一十百千万亿人得阿罗汉；从是已后无量百千万亿那由他众得阿罗汉果。 “如是，阿难陀！彼普见如来刹土之中，无有地狱、饿鬼、畜生，其国众生悉皆成就十善业道，不修商贾农作，其佛国土有无量功德。是故，若有善男子、善女人发阿耨多罗三藐三菩提心者，于彼人所不 现代汉语译本： ‘尊贵的世尊！没有见到像这样的法而不去教化的，因此我现在必定能够教化众生。’ 佛问：‘你来世要做大导师吗？’ 女答：‘世尊！没有见到像这样的法而不做导师的，因此我现在必定能够成为大导师。’ 当时，天帝释（Śakra-devānām-Indra，众神之王）手持曼陀罗花（Mandārava，天界之花）站在佛前，将花交给坚固女（Dṛḍhā），说道：‘你拿着这花散在佛的身上。’当时坚固女接过花后散在佛的身上，凭借佛的神力，花停留在虚空中。 这时，世尊（Bhagavān，佛的尊称）便微笑起来。诸佛通常都是这样，微笑时，从口中发出青、黄、赤、白、紫、颇梨色（sphatika，水晶色）等各种颜色的光芒，这些光芒遍照到梵天（Brahmā，色界天之主），然后回到佛的身边，绕佛三圈，最后从佛的头顶进入。 当时，阿难（Ānanda，佛陀的十大弟子之一）问佛：‘世尊！诸佛不会无缘无故或因为小事而微笑；是什么因缘让您如此微笑？’ 佛告诉阿难：‘你看到这位坚固女了吗？这位女子在此命终后，会舍弃女身而转为男子，在星宿劫（nakṣatra-kalpa，极长的时间单位）中证得阿耨多罗三藐三菩提（anuttarā-samyak-saṃbodhi，无上正等正觉），佛号为普见如来（Samantadarśana-Tathāgata）、应供（Arhat）、正遍知（Samyak-saṃbuddha）。这位普见佛第一次说法时，有两千亿人证尽诸漏，舍弃重担，证得阿罗汉（Arhat）果；第二次说法时，有一千五百亿人得阿罗汉果；第三次说法时，有一千亿人得阿罗汉果；从那以后，有无数百千万亿那由他（nayuta，大数单位）众生证得阿罗汉果。’ ‘阿难陀（Ānanda）！普见如来的刹土（buddhakṣetra，佛的国土）之中，没有地狱、饿鬼、畜生三恶道，那里的众生都成就十善业道（daśa-kuśala-karma-patha，身口意十种善行），不从事商业和农业，他的佛国土有无量的功德。因此，如果有善男子、善女人发阿耨多罗三藐三菩提心的人，不要在那些人面前……’
