English version The Sutra of Questions by Vimala Upāsikā Translated by Gautama Prajñāruci of Central India during the Later Wei Dynasty Thus have I heard: At one time, the Bhagavan (World-Honored One) was dwelling in the city of Śrāvastī (Savatthi), in the quiet palace, the multi-storied lecture hall. At that time, Vimala Upāsikā (Immaculate Laywoman), Bhadra Upāsikā (Virtuous Laywoman), and other Upāsikās (female lay followers) went to the Buddha's location. Having arrived at the Buddha's location, they bowed their heads to the ground at his feet, and after bowing at the Buddha's feet, they withdrew and sat to one side. Then, the World-Honored One said to Vimala Upāsikā: 'You Upāsikā! Are you diligent in practice and without a lazy mind?' The Upāsikā replied: 'I am not lazy, and I am diligent in practice.' The Buddha said to Vimala Upāsikā: 'How do you usually manage to be without laziness? And how do you manage to be diligent in practice?' Vimala Upāsikā reported to the Buddha: 'World-Honored One! I usually rise early and sweep the ground of the Buddha's stupa, and after sweeping, I plaster and repair the four sides and four directions. After cleaning and plastering, I scatter flowers and burn incense, making offerings in this way, and then I enter my room. After entering my room, I then enter into meditation, cultivating the Four Brahmavihāras (Four Immeasurables), not departing from the Three Refuges (Buddha, Dharma, Sangha), and upholding the Five Precepts, constantly in this way. I am not lazy, and I am diligent in practice.' After Vimala Upāsikā spoke these words, she further reported to the Buddha: 'World-Honored One! I still do not know what blessings will be obtained from the good roots of sweeping the ground of the Buddha's stupa? What blessings will be obtained from the good roots of plastering and repairing the four sides and four directions? What blessings will be obtained from the good roots of scattering flowers and burning incense to make offerings to the Buddha's stupa? What blessings will be obtained from the good roots of meditating on the Four Brahmavihāras, taking refuge in the Three Jewels, and upholding the Five Precepts? I only wish that the World-Honored One would explain this to me.' The Buddha said to Vimala Upāsikā: 'Sweeping the ground of the Buddha's stupa brings five blessings. What are the five? First, one's own mind becomes pure, and others who see it also generate a pure mind; second, one becomes loved by others; third, the devas (gods) are delighted; --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

四者、集端正业；五者、命终生于善道天中。无垢当知，扫佛塔地，福报如是。 “无垢当知，若人信佛，作圆轮形，涂佛塔地，散花烧香。如是供养，我说彼人身坏命终，生弗婆提，富乐自在；于彼寿终，生化乐天。 “无垢当知，若人信佛，作半月形，涂佛塔地，散华烧香。如是供养，我说彼人身坏命终，生瞿陀尼，富乐自在；于彼寿终，生兜率天。 “无垢当知，若人信佛，于佛塔边，四方涂地，散花烧香。如是供养，我说彼人身坏命终，生郁单曰，富乐自在；于彼寿终，生炎摩天。 “无垢当知，若人信佛，作人面形，涂佛塔地，散华烧香。如是供养，我说彼人身坏命终，生阎浮提，富乐自在；寿终生于三十三天。 “无垢当知，此涂塔地，散华烧香，所有善根，果报如是。 “无垢当知，若人入禅修四梵行，归佛法僧，受持五戒，我说彼人无量无数，善根福报，无穷无尽，后得涅槃。 “无垢当知，若人归依声闻、缘觉，修集戒聚，不能如是无尽涅槃。何以故？受持五戒，禅四梵行，所得果报，唯除涅槃，更无处受，以福多故。” 世尊尔时如是说已，无垢优婆夷心生疑念，默而无言。 尔时，世尊知心念已，即从面门，出广长舌，遍覆自面二耳 现代汉语译本： 第四，积累端正的行业；第五，命终之后能够往生到善道的天界之中。无垢（Vimala，菩萨名）你应该知道，清扫佛塔的地面，所获得的福报就是如此。 ‘无垢（Vimala，菩萨名）你应该知道，如果有人信仰佛陀，制作圆形图案，涂在佛塔的地面上，并且散花、烧香。像这样供养，我说这个人身坏命终之后，会往生到弗婆提（Purvavideha，四大部洲之一），享受富裕和快乐；在那里寿命终结后，会往生到化乐天（Nirmanarati，欲界第六天）。’ ‘无垢（Vimala，菩萨名）你应该知道，如果有人信仰佛陀，制作半月形图案，涂在佛塔的地面上，并且散花、烧香。像这样供养，我说这个人身坏命终之后，会往生到瞿陀尼（Godaniya，四大部洲之一），享受富裕和快乐；在那里寿命终结后，会往生到兜率天（Tusita，欲界第四天）。’ ‘无垢（Vimala，菩萨名）你应该知道，如果有人信仰佛陀，在佛塔旁边，向四方涂地，并且散花、烧香。像这样供养，我说这个人身坏命终之后，会往生到郁单曰（Uttarakuru，四大部洲之一），享受富裕和快乐；在那里寿命终结后，会往生到炎摩天（Yama，欲界第三天）。’ ‘无垢（Vimala，菩萨名）你应该知道，如果有人信仰佛陀，制作人面形的图案，涂在佛塔的地面上，并且散花、烧香。像这样供养，我说这个人身坏命终之后，会往生到阎浮提（Jambudvipa，四大部洲之一），享受富裕和快乐；寿命终结后，会往生到三十三天（Trayastrimsa，欲界第二天）。’ ‘无垢（Vimala，菩萨名）你应该知道，这样涂塔的地面，散花烧香，所有的善根，果报就是如此。 ‘无垢（Vimala，菩萨名）你应该知道，如果有人入禅定，修习四梵行（Four Brahmaviharas，慈、悲、喜、舍），归依佛、法、僧三宝，受持五戒，我说这个人有无量无数的善根福报，无穷无尽，最终能够证得涅槃（Nirvana）。’ ‘无垢（Vimala，菩萨名）你应该知道，如果有人归依声闻（Sravaka，听闻佛法而修行的弟子）、缘觉（Pratyekabuddha，独自悟道的修行者），修集戒律，不能像这样获得无尽的涅槃（Nirvana）。为什么呢？因为受持五戒，禅修四梵行（Four Brahmaviharas，慈、悲、喜、舍），所得到的果报，除了涅槃（Nirvana）之外，没有其他地方可以承受，因为福报太大了。’ 世尊当时这样说完之后，无垢优婆夷（Vimala Upasika，在家女居士）心中产生了疑惑，沉默不语。 当时，世尊知道她的心念之后，就从面门伸出广长的舌头，遍覆自己的面部和双耳。

English version: Fourth, accumulating upright karma; fifth, after the end of life, one will be reborn in the good realms of the heavens. Vimala (无垢, name of a Bodhisattva), you should know that the merit of sweeping the ground of a Buddhist stupa is like this. 'Vimala (无垢, name of a Bodhisattva), you should know that if someone believes in the Buddha, makes a circular shape, paints the ground of a Buddhist stupa, and scatters flowers and burns incense. By making offerings in this way, I say that when this person's body breaks and life ends, they will be reborn in Purvavideha (弗婆提, one of the four great continents), enjoying wealth and happiness; after their lifespan there ends, they will be reborn in Nirmanarati Heaven (化乐天, the sixth heaven of the desire realm).' 'Vimala (无垢, name of a Bodhisattva), you should know that if someone believes in the Buddha, makes a half-moon shape, paints the ground of a Buddhist stupa, and scatters flowers and burns incense. By making offerings in this way, I say that when this person's body breaks and life ends, they will be reborn in Godaniya (瞿陀尼, one of the four great continents), enjoying wealth and happiness; after their lifespan there ends, they will be reborn in Tusita Heaven (兜率天, the fourth heaven of the desire realm).' 'Vimala (无垢, name of a Bodhisattva), you should know that if someone believes in the Buddha, paints the ground on all four sides next to a Buddhist stupa, and scatters flowers and burns incense. By making offerings in this way, I say that when this person's body breaks and life ends, they will be reborn in Uttarakuru (郁单曰, one of the four great continents), enjoying wealth and happiness; after their lifespan there ends, they will be reborn in Yama Heaven (炎摩天, the third heaven of the desire realm).' 'Vimala (无垢, name of a Bodhisattva), you should know that if someone believes in the Buddha, makes a human face shape, paints the ground of a Buddhist stupa, and scatters flowers and burns incense. By making offerings in this way, I say that when this person's body breaks and life ends, they will be reborn in Jambudvipa (阎浮提, one of the four great continents), enjoying wealth and happiness; after their lifespan ends, they will be reborn in Trayastrimsa Heaven (三十三天, the second heaven of the desire realm).' 'Vimala (无垢, name of a Bodhisattva), you should know that the merit and reward of painting the ground of a stupa, scattering flowers, and burning incense is like this.' 'Vimala (无垢, name of a Bodhisattva), you should know that if someone enters into meditation, cultivates the Four Brahmaviharas (四梵行, loving-kindness, compassion, sympathetic joy, and equanimity), takes refuge in the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha, and upholds the Five Precepts, I say that this person has immeasurable and countless roots of goodness and merit, which are endless and inexhaustible, and will eventually attain Nirvana (涅槃).' 'Vimala (无垢, name of a Bodhisattva), you should know that if someone takes refuge in Sravakas (声闻, disciples who hear the teachings) and Pratyekabuddhas (缘觉, solitary Buddhas), and accumulates precepts, they cannot attain endless Nirvana (涅槃) in this way. Why? Because the fruits of upholding the Five Precepts and meditating on the Four Brahmaviharas (四梵行, loving-kindness, compassion, sympathetic joy, and equanimity) can only be received in Nirvana (涅槃), and nowhere else, because the merit is so great.' After the World Honored One spoke in this way, the Upasika Vimala (无垢优婆夷, a female lay devotee) had doubts in her mind and remained silent. At that time, the World Honored One, knowing her thoughts, extended a broad and long tongue from his face, covering his entire face and both ears. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
