说法者,魔不得便;若为网明所教化者,不畏堕声闻、辟支佛道。世尊!愿说网明功德庄严国土。”   佛言:“迦叶!是网明菩萨在在国土游行之处,利益无量众生。迦叶!汝见网明所放光明不?”   答言:“已见。”   佛言:“若三千大千世界满中芥子尚可算数,今网明光明令诸众生住菩提者不可数也。迦叶!是网明菩萨所放光明饶益尚尔,何况说法!汝今谛听!我当粗略说其功德。   “迦叶!是网明菩萨过七百六十万阿僧祇劫当得作佛,号普光自在王如来、应供、正遍知,世界名曰集妙功德。其佛趣菩提树时,国中诸魔、魔民悉皆正定于阿耨多罗三藐三菩提。其佛国土,以真栴檀宝为地,地平如掌,柔濡细滑,如迦陵伽衣,处处皆以众宝庄严,无三恶道亦无八难。其国广长,皆以妙宝莲华、色香妙好以为挍饰。普光自在王如来有无量菩萨僧,善修无量法门,得无量自在神通,皆以光明庄严其身;得诸陀罗尼藏无碍辩才,善能说法;光明神力皆悉通达,能破魔怨;惭愧念慧,诸妙功德以修其心。彼佛国土无有女人,其诸菩萨皆于宝莲华中结加趺坐,自然化生,以禅乐为食。诸所须物,经行之处、房舍、床榻、园林、浴池,应念即至。   “迦叶!是普光自在王如来不以文字说法,但放 现代汉语译本:如果说法者能够精通网明菩萨的教义,魔就无法得逞;如果被网明菩萨的教义所教化,就不会害怕堕入声闻乘或辟支佛乘的境界。世尊!请您宣说网明菩萨以功德庄严国土的情况。 佛说:‘迦叶(佛陀弟子名)!这位网明菩萨无论在哪个国土,都能利益无量的众生。迦叶!你看见网明菩萨所放的光明了吗?’ 迦叶回答说:‘已经看见了。’ 佛说:‘即使三千大千世界都装满了芥子,尚且可以计算其数量,但现在网明菩萨的光明令众生安住于菩提心的数量是不可计数的。迦叶!仅仅是网明菩萨所放的光明就能带来如此大的利益,更何况是说法呢!你现在仔细听好!我将大概地讲述他的功德。’ ‘迦叶!这位网明菩萨在经过七百六十万阿僧祇劫(极长的时间单位)后将会成佛,佛号为普光自在王如来(佛的称号)、应供(值得供养)、正遍知(完全觉悟者),世界名为集妙功德。当这位佛走向菩提树时,国中的所有魔和魔民都会正确地坚定于阿耨多罗三藐三菩提(无上正等正觉)。这位佛的国土,以真栴檀宝为地,地面平坦如手掌,柔软细腻光滑,像迦陵伽衣一样,处处都用各种珍宝庄严,没有三恶道(地狱、饿鬼、畜生)也没有八难(没有机会修行佛法的八种障碍)。这个国家广阔而长远,都用美妙的宝莲花装饰,颜色和香味都非常美好。普光自在王如来有无量的菩萨僧,他们善于修习无量的法门,获得无量的自在神通,都用光明来庄严自身;获得各种陀罗尼藏(总持一切法门的记忆力)和无碍的辩才,善于说法;光明神力都能够通达,能够破除魔的怨恨;以惭愧心、正念和智慧等各种美妙的功德来修养自己的心。那个佛国没有女人,所有的菩萨都在宝莲花中结跏趺坐,自然化生,以禅定的快乐为食物。他们所需要的一切物品,如经行的地方、房舍、床榻、园林、浴池,都能应念而至。’ ‘迦叶!这位普光自在王如来不使用文字说法,只是放出光明……’

English version: If the speaker is well-versed in the teachings of Bodhisattva Net Light, the demons will not be able to take advantage; if one is taught and transformed by the teachings of Bodhisattva Net Light, one will not fear falling into the path of Sravakas or Pratyekabuddhas. World Honored One! Please speak of the merits and adornments of the Buddha-land of Bodhisattva Net Light.' The Buddha said: 'Kasyapa (name of a Buddha's disciple)! This Bodhisattva Net Light, wherever he is in any Buddha-land, benefits immeasurable sentient beings. Kasyapa! Have you seen the light emitted by Bodhisattva Net Light?' Kasyapa replied: 'I have seen it.' The Buddha said: 'Even if the three thousand great thousand worlds were filled with mustard seeds, they could still be counted, but the number of sentient beings who are caused to abide in Bodhi by the light of Bodhisattva Net Light is uncountable. Kasyapa! The benefits of the light emitted by Bodhisattva Net Light are already so great, how much more so is his teaching! Now listen carefully! I will briefly describe his merits.' 'Kasyapa! This Bodhisattva Net Light will become a Buddha after seven hundred and sixty million Asankhya kalpas (extremely long period of time), with the name Universal Light Sovereign King Tathagata (title of a Buddha), Arhat (worthy of offerings), Samyaksambuddha (perfectly enlightened one), and the world will be called Collection of Wonderful Merits. When this Buddha approaches the Bodhi tree, all the demons and demon people in the country will correctly be steadfast in Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi (unsurpassed perfect enlightenment). The land of this Buddha is made of true sandalwood treasure, the ground is as flat as the palm of the hand, soft, smooth, and fine, like Kalinga cloth, and everywhere is adorned with various treasures, without the three evil paths (hell, hungry ghosts, animals) or the eight difficulties (eight obstacles to practicing the Dharma). The country is vast and long, and is decorated with wonderful treasure lotuses, with beautiful colors and fragrances. Universal Light Sovereign King Tathagata has immeasurable Bodhisattva Sangha, who are skilled in cultivating immeasurable Dharma doors, obtain immeasurable sovereign powers, and adorn their bodies with light; they obtain various Dharani treasuries (memory that holds all Dharma teachings) and unobstructed eloquence, and are skilled in teaching the Dharma; their light and spiritual power are all-pervasive, and they are able to destroy the enemies of demons; they cultivate their minds with shame, mindfulness, wisdom, and various wonderful merits. There are no women in that Buddha-land, and all the Bodhisattvas sit in full lotus posture in treasure lotuses, naturally born by transformation, and take the joy of Dhyana as food. All the things they need, such as places for walking, houses, beds, gardens, and bathing pools, appear as soon as they think of them.' 'Kasyapa! This Universal Light Sovereign King Tathagata does not teach the Dharma with words, but only emits light...' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
