English version The King of Magadha (Magadha King), along with his officials, went together to Vulture Peak Mountain (Vulture Peak Mountain) to attend the assembly of Sakyamuni Buddha (Sakyamuni Buddha). Having arrived at the assembly, they each bowed at the Buddha's feet and then stood to one side. At that time, the Venerable Sariputra (Sariputra) said to the King of Magadha: 'The rare Dharma of the Great Vehicle (Mahayana) that you love and delight in, Manjushri Bodhisattva (Manjushri Bodhisattva) has already extensively revealed and expounded for you. Do you truly understand this Dharma?' The King replied: 'Venerable One! I have already understood this rare Dharma.' Sariputra asked: 'How do you understand it?' The King replied: 'According to my understanding, with regard to all dharmas, one should be free from all attachments, without gain or loss, neither grasping nor rejecting, not within the realm of the mind, without any attainable characteristics; this is the true Dharma. Understanding in this way, doubts will be forever extinguished, and all obstacles and entanglements will not arise.' At that time, Sariputra said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One! This King of Magadha has matured in good roots, and loves and delights in the profound taste of the Great Vehicle Dharma. Having seen the non-arising of dharmas, has he completely extinguished all karmic obstacles? Or are there any remaining? What is the matter? I hope the Buddha can explain it for us.' The Buddha said: 'Sariputra! All the karmic obstacles of this King have been completely extinguished, with nothing remaining. Sariputra! For example, a mustard seed, its size is very small, can Mount Sumeru (Mount Sumeru) destroy it? You should now know: the King's karmic obstacles are like mustard seeds, and the profound Dharma that I have proclaimed is like Mount Sumeru. Therefore, this King, having heard the profound Dharma, how could there be any karmic obstacles that are not completely extinguished?' Sariputra said: 'Rare indeed, World Honored One! This King is sharp-witted and intelligent, able to hear the Dharma and understand it, extinguishing all karmic obstacles. As the Buddha said, it is indeed not false.' The Buddha said: 'Sariputra! This King has in the past respectfully made offerings to seventy-two kotis (koti, one koti is ten million) of Buddhas, planting various good roots. He has already heard the true Dharma in those Buddhas' presence. Due to these good roots, he will definitely attain Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi (Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi, unsurpassed perfect enlightenment) in the future.' Furthermore, the Buddha said to Sariputra: 'Do you see this Manjushri Bodhisattva (Manjushri Bodhisattva)?' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 萨不？” 答曰：“已见。”

English version ‘Sā bù?’ (Sā bù?) The answer was: ‘Already seen.’ The Buddha said: ‘Now, this Magadha King (Mójiātuó wáng) has a great affinity with Manjushri Bodhisattva (Miàojíxiáng Púsà). Sariputra (Shèlìzǐ)! In the past, there was a kalpa (aeon) called Immaculate, and a Buddha appeared in the world named Wonderful Arm (Miàobì). In that kalpa, there were also three kotis (hundreds of millions) of Buddhas appearing in the world, and all these Buddhas developed their Bodhi-citta (mind of enlightenment) because of Manjushri Bodhisattva. Those Tathagatas (Thus Come Ones) had long lives, turned the great Dharma wheel, and benefited sentient beings. This Magadha King had already encountered Manjushri Bodhisattva's teachings in that kalpa and developed the Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi-citta (Ānòuduōluósānmiǎosānpútíxīn). After the King developed this mind, he planted various good roots in the presence of such Buddhas and World Honored Ones, and listened to the rare teachings of the Mahayana (Great Vehicle). Because of this cause and condition, his good roots are profound. ‘Sariputra! You should know now that after this Magadha King's life ends, passing four hundred Buddha-fields (Fóchà) in the upper direction, there is a Buddha-field named Adornment, and its Buddha is named Ratnakuta Tathagata (Bǎojù Rúlái), Worthy of Offerings, Perfectly and Completely Enlightened. This King will be born there, and will also see Manjushri Bodhisattva, listen to the profound Dharma, understand it upon hearing, and attain Anutpattika-dharma-kshanti (Wúshēngfǎrěn). Even when Maitreya Bodhisattva (Císhì Púsà) attains perfect enlightenment in this Saha World (Suōpó Shìjiè) in the future, this Magadha King will come from that Adornment Buddha-field and be born here, becoming a Bodhisattva in the Dharma of Maitreya Tathagata, named Immovable. At that time, he will also see Manjushri Bodhisattva. Then, Maitreya Tathagata, after re-explaining to Immovable Bodhisattva the Dharma he had heard in the past, will say to the assembly: ‘Do you see Immovable Bodhisattva? Is this Bodhisattva any different from others? He is the Magadha King in the Dharma of Sakyamuni Buddha (Shìjiāmóunífó) in the past. This person listened to the correct Dharma from Manjushri Bodhisattva and attained Anutpattika-dharma-kshanti.’ The Buddha told Sariputra: ‘When that Maitreya Tathagata was speaking the wonderful Dharma for Immovable Bodhisattva, there were eight thousand Bodhisattvas in the assembly who attained Anutpattika-dharma-kshanti, and twenty-four thousand lesser Bodhisattvas entered the first Bhumi (stage).’ ‘Sariputra!

百阿僧祇劫中修行，净诸佛刹，教化众生令趣声闻、缘觉、菩萨之地，令诸众生灭一切障，解悟正法，不生疑惑。 “彼无动菩萨过是八百阿僧祇劫已，即于无染世界证阿耨多罗三藐三菩提，号曰清净境界如来、应供、正等正觉，十号具足。其佛寿命四中劫，正法住世一俱胝岁，有七十万声闻之众，皆悉具足三明六通、得八解脱，有十二俱胝大菩萨众而悉具足智慧方便，彼土所有众生皆悉爱乐甚深之法。彼佛、如来广为宣说，而诸众生闻法悟解，离诸烦恼，身心清净，各各不起我见之想。” 尔时，释迦牟尼佛为舍利子说摩伽陀王当成佛事。时会中有三万二千天子发阿耨多罗三藐三菩提心，皆发愿言：“愿我当得生彼无染世界，见彼清净境界如来成正觉道。” 释迦牟尼佛即记之曰：“汝等当得生彼世界，见彼如来成正觉道。” 尔时，摩伽陀王有一太子名月吉祥，年始八岁，先随父王至于佛会。闻说法已，即自解颈真珠、璎珞持以奉佛，作是愿言：“我今以此供佛善根回向阿耨多罗三藐三菩提，愿我当来生彼清净境界如来刹中为金轮王。乃至命尽，以其四事供养彼佛及苾刍众。至彼佛灭后，我当收其舍利恭敬供养。愿我相继即于彼刹证得阿耨多罗三藐三菩提。” 是时月吉祥太子发 现代汉语译本：在百阿僧祇劫（asaṃkhya-kalpa，无数大劫）中修行，清净诸佛刹（Buddhakṣetra，佛土），教化众生令趣声闻（Śrāvaka，小乘弟子）、缘觉（Pratyekabuddha，独觉者）、菩萨（Bodhisattva，追求觉悟的修行者）之地，令诸众生灭一切障，解悟正法，不生疑惑。 ‘彼无动菩萨（Acalamati Bodhisattva）过是八百阿僧祇劫已，即于无染世界证阿耨多罗三藐三菩提（anuttarā-samyak-saṃbodhi，无上正等正觉），号曰清净境界如来（Tathāgata，如来）、应供（Arhat，阿罗汉）、正等正觉（Samyaksaṃbuddha，正等觉），十号具足。其佛寿命四中劫，正法住世一俱胝岁（koṭi，千万），有七十万声闻之众，皆悉具足三明六通、得八解脱，有十二俱胝大菩萨众而悉具足智慧方便，彼土所有众生皆悉爱乐甚深之法。彼佛、如来广为宣说，而诸众生闻法悟解，离诸烦恼，身心清净，各各不起我见之想。’ 尔时，释迦牟尼佛（Śākyamuni Buddha）为舍利子（Śāriputra）说摩伽陀王（Magadha）当成佛事。时会中有三万二千天子发阿耨多罗三藐三菩提心，皆发愿言：‘愿我当得生彼无染世界，见彼清净境界如来成正觉道。’ 释迦牟尼佛即记之曰：‘汝等当得生彼世界，见彼如来成正觉道。’ 尔时，摩伽陀王有一太子名月吉祥，年始八岁，先随父王至于佛会。闻说法已，即自解颈真珠、璎珞持以奉佛，作是愿言：‘我今以此供佛善根回向阿耨多罗三藐三菩提，愿我当来生彼清净境界如来刹中为金轮王。乃至命尽，以其四事供养彼佛及苾刍（bhikṣu，比丘）众。至彼佛灭后，我当收其舍利恭敬供养。愿我相继即于彼刹证得阿耨多罗三藐三菩提。’ 是时月吉祥太子发

English version: Practicing for hundreds of asaṃkhya-kalpas (countless great eons), purifying all Buddha-kṣetras (Buddha-fields), teaching and transforming sentient beings, leading them to the stages of Śrāvakas (Hearers), Pratyekabuddhas (Solitary Buddhas), and Bodhisattvas (enlightenment-seeking beings), enabling all sentient beings to eliminate all obstacles, understand and awaken to the Correct Dharma, and not give rise to doubts. ‘That Acalamati Bodhisattva, after passing eight hundred asaṃkhya-kalpas, will attain anuttarā-samyak-saṃbodhi (unsurpassed, complete and perfect enlightenment) in the Stainless World, and will be named the Pure Realm Tathāgata (Thus Come One), Arhat (Worthy of Offerings), Samyaksaṃbuddha (Perfectly Enlightened One), possessing all ten titles. That Buddha's lifespan will be four intermediate kalpas, the Correct Dharma will abide in the world for one koṭi (ten million) years, there will be a gathering of seven hundred thousand Śrāvakas, all fully endowed with the three kinds of knowledge and six supernormal powers, having attained the eight liberations, and there will be twelve koṭis of great Bodhisattvas, all fully endowed with wisdom and skillful means. All sentient beings in that land will love and delight in the profound Dharma. That Buddha, the Tathāgata, will extensively proclaim it, and all sentient beings, upon hearing the Dharma, will awaken and understand, be free from all afflictions, their bodies and minds will be pure, and each will not give rise to thoughts of self.’ At that time, Śākyamuni Buddha was telling Śāriputra about the future Buddhahood of King Magadha. In the assembly, thirty-two thousand devas (gods) generated the mind of anuttarā-samyak-saṃbodhi, and all made the vow: ‘May I be born in that Stainless World and see that Pure Realm Tathāgata attain the path of perfect enlightenment.’ Śākyamuni Buddha then prophesied: ‘You will be born in that world and see that Tathāgata attain the path of perfect enlightenment.’ At that time, King Magadha had a prince named Moon Auspicious, who was eight years old. He had previously accompanied his father, the king, to the Buddha's assembly. Having heard the Dharma, he immediately removed the pearls and necklaces from his neck and offered them to the Buddha, making this vow: ‘I now dedicate the roots of goodness from this offering to the Buddha towards anuttarā-samyak-saṃbodhi, wishing that in the future I will be born in that Pure Realm Tathāgata's Buddha-field as a Cakravartin (Wheel-Turning King). Until the end of my life, I will use the four requisites to make offerings to that Buddha and the bhikṣu (monk) sangha. After that Buddha passes away, I will collect his relics and respectfully make offerings. May I, in succession, attain anuttarā-samyak-saṃbodhi in that Buddha-field.’ At that time, Prince Moon Auspicious generated --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
