誓愿已，由佛威神力故，所献璎珞住虚空中，在彼佛上变成七宝楼阁，中有七宝之座，其上有佛结跏趺坐，相好具足、种种庄严。 尔时，世尊从其面门放众色光——所谓青、黄、赤、白、红、紫、碧、绿——如是光明普照无边世界，上至梵世，光明晃曜，映日月光而悉不现。其光复还，绕佛三匝，从佛、世尊顶门而入。 尔时，尊者阿难从座而起，偏袒右肩，右膝着地，向佛合掌说伽陀曰： “已到彼岸大牟尼， 具足一切胜功德， 天人世间共所尊， 一切智者离诸着。 众生心行及根性， 如来一一皆了知， 宣说妙法利群生， 一切世间为最胜。 所放希有大光明， 普照十方一切刹， 俱胝那由他众生， 蒙光照者获安隐。 善逝已具于十力， 念慧圆满出世间， 善别众生心所行， 说法断疑无与等。 所有梵王并帝释、 日月星辰及诸天， 闻佛宣说妙法门， 离诸烦恼得安隐。 如来一切众中尊， 众生有疑悉开决， 今日何缘放是光？ 愿佛慈悲为我说。” 尔时，世尊告阿难言：“汝见此月吉祥太子不？” 阿难白佛言：“唯然，已见。” 佛言：“阿难！今此太子于过去世中已修菩萨之行、供养于我，深种 现代汉语译本 发下誓愿之后，由于佛的威神力，所供献的璎珞停留在虚空中，在那尊佛的上方变成一座七宝楼阁，楼阁中有七宝莲花座，其上有一尊佛结跏趺坐，具足各种美好的相貌和庄严。 这时，世尊从面部放出各种颜色的光芒——包括青色、黄色、红色、白色、粉色、紫色、碧色、绿色——这样的光明普照无边无际的世界，向上到达梵天世界，光明闪耀，使得太阳和月亮的光芒都无法显现。这些光芒返回，围绕佛三圈，从佛、世尊的头顶进入。 这时，尊者阿难从座位上站起来，袒露右肩，右膝跪地，向佛合掌，用偈颂说道： ‘已到达彼岸的大牟尼（Mahamuni，伟大的圣人），具足一切殊胜的功德， 天界、人间共同尊敬，一切智者，远离各种执着。 众生的心念行为以及根器禀性，如来（Tathagata，佛的称号之一）一一完全了解， 宣说微妙的佛法利益众生，在一切世间最为殊胜。 所放出的稀有大光明，普遍照耀十方一切佛土， 无数（俱胝那由他）众生，蒙受光明照耀而获得安稳。 善逝（Sugata，佛的称号之一）已经具备十种力量，念力智慧圆满超出世间， 善于辨别众生的心念行为，说法断除疑惑，无人可以相比。 所有的梵王（Brahma，色界天的天王）和帝释（Indra，欲界天的天王）、 日月星辰以及诸天，听闻佛宣说微妙的法门， 远离各种烦恼，得到安稳。 如来是一切大众中最尊贵的，众生有疑惑都能开解决断， 今天是什么因缘放出这样的光明？愿佛慈悲为我解说。’ 这时，世尊告诉阿难说：‘你看见这位月吉祥太子（Candra Mangala，人名）了吗？’ 阿难回答佛说：‘是的，已经看见了。’ 佛说：‘阿难！现在这位太子在过去世中已经修习菩萨的德行、供养于我，深深地种下善根。

English version Having made the vow, by the power of the Buddha's divine strength, the offered necklace remained in the void, transforming above that Buddha into a seven-jeweled pavilion, in which there was a seven-jeweled seat. Upon it, a Buddha sat in the lotus position, complete with excellent marks and adorned in various ways. At that time, the World Honored One emitted various colored lights from his face—namely blue, yellow, red, white, pink, purple, azure, and green—such light universally illuminated the boundless world, reaching up to the Brahma (Brahma, the creator god in Hinduism and Buddhism) heavens. The light shone brightly, eclipsing the light of the sun and moon, making them invisible. The light then returned, circling the Buddha three times, and entered from the crown of the head of the Buddha, the World Honored One. At that time, the Venerable Ananda rose from his seat, bared his right shoulder, knelt on his right knee, and, with palms joined, spoke the following gatha (gatha, a verse or stanza in Buddhist scriptures) to the Buddha: 'The Great Muni (Mahamuni, a title for a great sage) who has reached the other shore, Possesses all excellent merits, Revered by gods and humans alike, The all-knowing one, free from all attachments. The thoughts, actions, and faculties of beings, The Tathagata (Tathagata, 'Thus Gone One,' a title for the Buddha) knows each and every one, Proclaiming the wonderful Dharma (Dharma, the teachings of the Buddha) to benefit all beings, The most excellent in all the world. The rare and great light that is emitted, Universally illuminates all lands in the ten directions, Countless (koti-niyuta) beings, Those illuminated by the light obtain peace and security. The Well-Gone One (Sugata, a title for the Buddha) is complete with the ten powers, Mindfulness and wisdom are perfect, transcending the world, Skilled in discerning the thoughts and actions of beings, Teaching the Dharma to dispel doubts, unmatched by any. All the Brahma Kings (Brahma, rulers of the Brahma heavens) and Indra (Indra, king of the gods), The sun, moon, stars, and all the devas (devas, gods or deities), Hearing the Buddha proclaim the wonderful Dharma, Are freed from all afflictions and obtain peace and security. The Tathagata is the most honored among all assemblies, Resolving all doubts for beings, What is the reason for emitting this light today? May the Buddha, with compassion, explain it to me.' At that time, the World Honored One said to Ananda, 'Do you see this Prince Candra Mangala (Candra Mangala, name of a prince)?' Ananda replied to the Buddha, 'Yes, I have seen him.' The Buddha said, 'Ananda! This prince in past lives has cultivated the practices of a Bodhisattva (Bodhisattva, an enlightened being who postpones nirvana to help others), made offerings to me, and deeply planted roots of goodness.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

善根。由是机缘而已成熟，今于我前发阿耨多罗三藐三菩提心，起大誓愿。以是缘故，放斯光明。 “阿难！此太子当来生于无染世界清净境界如来法中为金轮王，供养彼佛及苾刍众。至彼佛灭后，收其舍利恭敬供养。是人于彼命终已后生兜率天，至满一劫生无染世界，证于阿耨多罗三藐三菩提，名为日幢如来、应供、正等正觉，十号具足。彼佛、世尊及菩萨、声闻之众，所有寿量皆悉同等。” 尔时，他方来会诸菩萨众闻授月吉祥太子记已，俱白佛言：“世尊！今释迦牟尼佛与妙吉祥菩萨于一切方处作大佛事，利益众生无有空过。何以故？佛及菩萨以大悲心起诸方便，于国城、郡邑乃至聚落，处处为诸众生说法教化，令诸众生闻法解脱，离诸怖畏，断除一切烦恼重障。我等今日得于此地闻佛及妙吉祥菩萨宣说妙法及见放光希有之事，利益众生，诚无空过。” 尔时，世尊告诸菩萨言：“善男子！如是，如是。若佛、菩萨于诸方处为诸众生宣说正法、施作佛事，当观是处如佛塔庙。何以故？我于过去世中值遇燃灯如来时，我以信重心故，垂发布地承彼佛足，我时获得无生法忍。彼燃灯如来知我已得忍法具足，即为我授阿耨多罗三藐三菩提记，作如是言：‘汝于来世过阿僧祇劫当得作佛，号释迦牟尼 现代汉语译本：善根。由于这种机缘已经成熟，现在在我面前发起了阿耨多罗三藐三菩提心（Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi-citta，无上正等正觉之心），立下了宏大的誓愿。因为这个缘故，才放出这样的光明。 ‘阿难（Ananda）！这位太子将来会出生在无染世界清净境界的如来法中，成为金轮王（Cakravartin），供养那尊佛以及比丘众（Bhiksu-samgha）。在那尊佛涅槃之后，收集他的舍利，恭敬地供养。这个人在此命终之后，会生到兜率天（Tusita Heaven），到满一劫时，会出生在无染世界，证得阿耨多罗三藐三菩提，名为日幢如来（Sun Banner Tathagata）、应供（Arhat）、正等正觉（Samyak-sambuddha），十号具足。那尊佛、世尊（Bhagavan）以及菩萨（Bodhisattva）、声闻（Sravaka）之众，所有的寿命都完全相同。’ 当时，从其他方来的与会菩萨众，听闻了授记月吉祥太子（Candra-mangala Kumara）之后，一起对佛说：‘世尊！现在释迦牟尼佛（Sakyamuni Buddha）与妙吉祥菩萨（Manjusri Bodhisattva）在一切地方都做着伟大的佛事，利益众生没有空过。为什么呢？佛和菩萨以大悲心发起各种方便，在国城、郡邑乃至聚落，处处为众生说法教化，令众生听闻佛法而解脱，远离各种怖畏，断除一切烦恼重障。我们今天能够在这里听闻佛和妙吉祥菩萨宣说妙法，并且见到放光这种稀有的事情，利益众生，实在没有空过。’ 当时，世尊告诉诸位菩萨说：‘善男子！是的，是的。如果佛、菩萨在各个地方为众生宣说正法、施行佛事，应当把那个地方看作佛塔庙。为什么呢？我在过去世中遇到燃灯如来（Dipamkara Buddha）时，我以信重心，垂下头发铺在地上承接他的脚，我当时获得了无生法忍（anutpattika-dharma-ksanti）。那尊燃灯如来知道我已经获得忍法具足，就为我授阿耨多罗三藐三菩提记，这样说：‘你将来经过阿僧祇劫（asamkhya-kalpa）之后，会成佛，号为释迦牟尼（Sakyamuni）。’

English version: 'Good roots. Because of this opportunity that has matured, now before me, he has generated the mind of Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi (unexcelled perfect enlightenment), and made great vows. Because of this reason, this light is emitted.' 'Ananda! This prince will be born in the future in the undefiled world, in the pure realm of the Tathagata's Dharma, as a Cakravartin (wheel-turning king), making offerings to that Buddha and the Bhiksu-samgha (community of monks). After that Buddha's extinction, he will collect his relics and respectfully make offerings. After his life ends there, he will be born in Tusita Heaven, and after a full kalpa (eon), he will be born in the undefiled world, attaining Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi, named Sun Banner Tathagata, Arhat (worthy of offerings), Samyak-sambuddha (perfectly enlightened), possessing all ten titles. That Buddha, Bhagavan (World-Honored One), and the Bodhisattva and Sravaka (hearer) assembly, all have the same lifespan.' At that time, the assembled Bodhisattvas from other directions, having heard the prediction of Candra-mangala Kumara (Moon Auspicious Prince), together said to the Buddha: 'World-Honored One! Now Sakyamuni Buddha and Manjusri Bodhisattva are performing great Buddha-deeds in all directions, benefiting sentient beings without any waste. Why? The Buddha and Bodhisattvas, with great compassion, initiate various skillful means, in countries, cities, towns, and even villages, everywhere teaching and transforming sentient beings, enabling them to hear the Dharma and be liberated, to be free from all fears, and to cut off all heavy obstacles of afflictions. Today, we are able to hear the Buddha and Manjusri Bodhisattva expounding the wonderful Dharma in this place, and to see the rare event of emitting light, benefiting sentient beings, truly without any waste.' At that time, the World-Honored One told the Bodhisattvas: 'Good men! It is so, it is so. If Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in various places expound the true Dharma and perform Buddha-deeds for sentient beings, you should regard that place as a Buddha stupa or temple. Why? In the past, when I encountered Dipamkara Buddha (Lamp Lighting Buddha), with a mind of faith and reverence, I spread my hair on the ground to receive his feet, and at that time I obtained Anutpattika-dharma-ksanti (the patience of non-arising dharmas). That Dipamkara Buddha, knowing that I had obtained the complete patience of the Dharma, then gave me the prediction of Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi, saying thus: 'In the future, after asamkhya-kalpas (innumerable eons), you will become a Buddha, named Sakyamuni.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

如来、应供、正等正觉，十号具足。’彼燃灯佛授我记已，告彼苾刍众言：‘汝等宜于此地起尊重想，勿生轻慢。何以故？此地有善男子垂发布地承世尊足，以殊胜力故即得忍法具足。是故此地，所有天人瞻敬如佛塔庙而无有异。’燃灯如来作是言时，有八十俱胝天人异口同音白佛言：‘世尊！我等今于此地起尊敬想，如佛塔庙。’ “是时有一长者名曰贤天，在彼会中即白燃灯佛言：‘我今于此造七宝塔，使诸众生瞻礼获福。’时彼长者即如其言，起希有心，集诸珍宝造立一塔，高广妙好，种种庄严，其功殊丽，不日而成。是时长者既造塔已，即诣燃灯佛所白言：‘世尊！我已造立七宝妙塔，于当来世得几所福？’佛言：‘长者！若有善男子于菩萨摩诃萨证无生法忍之地垦取其土，下至水际，当持此土恭敬供养，所得福聚尚如供养诸佛塔庙，等无有异，何况汝今起净信心造七宝塔？所获福聚倍胜于前，无量无边，不可较量。’是时燃灯如来复告贤天长者言：‘汝今于此深种善根，于未来世中释迦牟尼佛所得授阿耨多罗三藐三菩提记。’” 尔时，释迦牟尼佛为他方来会诸大菩萨说是往昔受记因缘。复告诸菩萨言：“汝今当知：我往昔时于燃灯佛所种善根已，今得成佛。彼时我得忍法之地，彼诸天人敬如 现代汉语译本：‘如来（Tathagata，佛的称号之一）、应供（Arhat，值得供养的人）、正等正觉（Samyaksambuddha，完全觉悟者），十号具足。’燃灯佛（Dipankara Buddha）授我记已，告诉那些比丘（Bhikkhu，佛教僧侣）们说：‘你们应该在这个地方生起尊重之心，不要轻慢。为什么呢？因为这里有一位善男子，垂下头发铺在地上，承受世尊的足，以殊胜的力量，立即获得忍法具足。因此，这个地方，所有天人瞻仰敬奉，如同佛塔庙一样，没有什么不同。’燃灯如来（Dipankara Buddha）说这些话的时候，有八十俱胝（koti，印度计数单位，一俱胝等于一千万）的天人异口同声地对佛说：‘世尊！我们现在就在这个地方生起尊敬之心，如同佛塔庙一样。’ 这时有一位长者，名叫贤天（Sumeru），在那次法会中，就对燃灯佛（Dipankara Buddha）说：‘我现在要在这里建造七宝塔，使众生瞻仰礼拜，获得福报。’当时那位长者就按照他所说的话，生起稀有的心，聚集各种珍宝建造了一座塔，高大宽广，美妙无比，各种装饰，它的功德非常殊胜美丽，没过几天就建成了。当时那位长者建造好塔之后，就到燃灯佛（Dipankara Buddha）那里禀告说：‘世尊！我已经建造了七宝妙塔，在未来的世间，能得到多少福报呢？’佛说：‘长者！如果有善男子在菩萨摩诃萨（Bodhisattva-Mahasattva，伟大的菩萨）证得无生法忍（anutpattika-dharma-ksanti，对事物不生不灭的真理的领悟）的地方，挖取那里的泥土，哪怕只到水边，如果拿着这些泥土恭敬供养，所得到的福德，尚且如同供养诸佛塔庙一样，没有什么不同，更何况你现在生起清净的信心，建造七宝塔呢？所获得的福德，比之前面所说的还要多，无量无边，不可估量。’当时燃灯如来（Dipankara Buddha）又告诉贤天（Sumeru）长者说：‘你现在在这里深深地种下善根，在未来的世间，释迦牟尼佛（Sakyamuni Buddha）会给你授阿耨多罗三藐三菩提（anuttara-samyak-sambodhi，无上正等正觉）的记。’ 当时，释迦牟尼佛（Sakyamuni Buddha）为从其他地方来参加法会的各位大菩萨（Bodhisattva）讲述过去接受授记的因缘。又告诉各位菩萨说：‘你们现在应当知道：我过去在燃灯佛（Dipankara Buddha）那里种下善根之后，现在才得以成佛。那时我得到忍法的地方，那些天人敬奉如同...
