,各各住于彼彼佛前,作如是言:“我于娑婆世界闻释迦牟尼佛及妙吉祥菩萨宣说正法,我已受持,于此宣布为众生说,令诸众生决定证得阿耨多罗三藐三菩提。” 尔时,尊者大迦叶白佛言:“世尊!今此正法甚为希有。如我所见:妙吉祥菩萨于摩伽陀王宫中受食供养,菩萨为王宣说此法,时王证得无生法忍。我亦随喜听受此法,深自克责,生大欢喜。世尊!于后末世,若有众生闻此正法心生正解者,是人乃能知法自性,断诸疑惑,当来决定成等正觉。” 佛言:“迦叶!善哉,善哉,善说此语。若诸众生闻是法已,当来决证佛菩提果。” 尔时,佛告慈氏菩萨言:“汝今受持此法,于后末世为诸众生宣布演说,使诸众生皆获利益,得大快乐。” 慈氏菩萨白佛言:“如世尊敕,我当受持。世尊!我于过去佛所亦曾听受此法,今于佛前又复得闻,深自庆幸。我于当来护助宣通,令法久住。乃至我此命终生兜率天,而彼天中若有根熟乐大乘者,我亦为其开示演说,令发道心,于南阎浮提不令断绝。又,末世之中,若有男子、女人受、持、读、诵此正法者,若为诸魔之所娆乱,我于彼时密往其中而为护助,使诸魔众不得其便。又复,世尊!末世之中,若有得闻是法,听、受、读、诵、如法修行 现代汉语译本:他们各自住在诸佛面前,这样说道:‘我在娑婆世界听闻释迦牟尼佛(Sakyamuni Buddha)及妙吉祥菩萨(Manjushri Bodhisattva)宣说正法,我已经接受并奉持,将在此宣布,为众生宣说,使一切众生必定证得阿耨多罗三藐三菩提(anuttara-samyak-sambodhi,无上正等正觉)。’ 当时,尊者大迦叶(Mahakasyapa)对佛说:‘世尊!如今这正法非常稀有。据我所见:妙吉祥菩萨在摩伽陀(Magadha)王宫中接受饮食供养,菩萨为国王宣说此法,当时国王证得了无生法忍(anutpattika-dharma-ksanti,对诸法不生不灭的真理的证悟)。我也随喜听受此法,深深地自我反省,生起极大的欢喜。世尊!在未来的末法时代,如果有的众生听闻此正法,心中产生正确的理解,这个人就能了解法的自性,断除一切疑惑,将来必定成就正等正觉。’ 佛说:‘迦叶!很好,很好,你很好地说了这些话。如果众生听闻此法,将来必定证得佛菩提果(Buddha-bodhi,成佛的智慧)。’ 当时,佛告诉慈氏菩萨(Maitreya Bodhisattva)说:‘你现在接受并奉持此法,在未来的末法时代为众生宣布演说,使一切众生都能获得利益,得到极大的快乐。’ 慈氏菩萨对佛说:‘遵照世尊的教诲,我将接受并奉持。世尊!我过去在诸佛面前也曾听受此法,如今在佛前又再次听闻,深感庆幸。我将在未来护持并宣扬此法,使正法长久住世。乃至我此生结束后往生到兜率天(Tusita Heaven),在那里,如果有根器成熟、喜爱大乘佛法的天人,我也将为他们开示演说,使他们发起菩提心,在南阎浮提(Jambudvipa,我们所居住的世界)不让正法断绝。而且,在末法时代,如果有男子、女人接受、奉持、读诵此正法,如果被各种魔障所扰乱,我将在那时秘密地前往他们之中,为他们护持帮助,使各种魔众无法得逞。而且,世尊!在末法时代,如果有人听闻此法,听受、读诵、如法修行,’

English version: They each resided before those Buddhas, speaking thus: 'Having heard Sakyamuni Buddha (Sakyamuni Buddha) and Manjushri Bodhisattva (Manjushri Bodhisattva) proclaim the True Dharma in the Saha World, I have received and upheld it. I will announce it here, proclaiming it for the sake of sentient beings, so that all sentient beings will certainly attain Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi (anuttara-samyak-sambodhi, unsurpassed perfect enlightenment).' At that time, Venerable Mahakasyapa (Mahakasyapa) said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One! This True Dharma is extremely rare. As I have seen, Manjushri Bodhisattva received food offerings in the royal palace of Magadha (Magadha). The Bodhisattva proclaimed this Dharma for the king, and at that time the king attained the forbearance of non-arising dharmas (anutpattika-dharma-ksanti, realization of the truth of the non-arising and non-ceasing of all dharmas). I also rejoiced in hearing and receiving this Dharma, deeply reflecting on myself and generating great joy. World Honored One! In the future degenerate age, if there are sentient beings who hear this True Dharma and generate correct understanding in their minds, those people will be able to know the self-nature of the Dharma, cut off all doubts, and will certainly attain perfect enlightenment in the future.' The Buddha said: 'Kasyapa! Excellent, excellent! You have spoken these words well. If sentient beings hear this Dharma, they will certainly attain the fruit of Buddha-bodhi (Buddha-bodhi, the wisdom of Buddhahood) in the future.' At that time, the Buddha told Maitreya Bodhisattva (Maitreya Bodhisattva): 'You should now receive and uphold this Dharma, and in the future degenerate age, proclaim and expound it for the sake of sentient beings, so that all sentient beings can obtain benefits and great happiness.' Maitreya Bodhisattva said to the Buddha: 'As the World Honored One commands, I will receive and uphold it. World Honored One! I have also heard and received this Dharma in the past before the Buddhas. Now, I have heard it again before the Buddha, and I feel deeply fortunate. In the future, I will protect and propagate this Dharma, so that the True Dharma will abide in the world for a long time. Even when I end this life and am reborn in Tusita Heaven (Tusita Heaven), if there are devas there who have mature roots and delight in the Great Vehicle, I will also expound and explain it for them, so that they will generate the Bodhi mind, and I will not allow the True Dharma to be cut off in Jambudvipa (Jambudvipa, the world we live in). Moreover, in the degenerate age, if there are men and women who receive, uphold, read, and recite this True Dharma, if they are disturbed by various demonic obstacles, I will secretly go among them at that time and protect and help them, so that the various demonic hosts cannot succeed. Furthermore, World Honored One! In the degenerate age, if there are those who hear this Dharma, listen, receive, read, recite, and practice according to the Dharma,' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 者,当知是佛威神之所建立。”

尔时,佛告帝释天主言:“憍尸迦!汝今受持、记念我此正法,于后末世而为护助。何以故?此法能断一切疑、能净诸业障,与诸法平等,又复有大威力。帝释当知:汝若与彼阿修罗斗战之时,汝当记念此法,尔时得胜,彼当退败。 “又复,若人于王难、贼难、虎、狼、虫、兽、恶人等难中,若能思惟记念此法者,是人即得远离诸难。” 时帝释天主白佛言:“如世尊敕,我当护持。于后末世,若国城、郡邑乃至聚落有是法处,我当往彼恭敬供养;若有持是法者,我乃护助。” 尔时,佛告尊者阿难言:“汝今受持我此正法,于后末世为诸众生宣布演说。何以故?此法甚深,昔未曾有。若男子、女人受持此法者,彼得离诸疑惑,灭除一切烦恼罪垢。是故,汝当记念、受持。” 阿难白佛言:“世尊!我以佛神力之所加护,于末世中宣布此法,令诸众生皆获利益。世尊!此经何名?我等云何奉持?” 佛告阿难:“是经名为‘未曾有正法’,如是受持。” 尔时,世尊付嘱菩萨、声闻及帝释已,即于会中佛身左右放大光明,普照十方一切世界。于其光中出微妙声,普告大众:“如来、应供、正等正觉所说正法,乃至劫坏大海枯竭,此法不 现代汉语译本:‘你应该知道,这是佛陀威神之力所建立的。’ 当时,佛陀告诉帝释天主(Śakra Devānām Indra,众神之王)说:‘憍尸迦(Kauśika,帝释天的别名)!你现在应当受持、记念我的这个正法,在后来的末世时代作为护卫和帮助。为什么呢?因为这个法能够断除一切疑惑,能够净化各种业障,与一切法平等,而且具有强大的威力。帝释(Śakra)你应该知道:如果你与那些阿修罗(Asura,一种好战的神)战斗的时候,你应该记念这个法,那时你就能得胜,他们就会退败。’ ‘还有,如果有人在王难、贼难、虎狼、虫兽、恶人等灾难中,如果能够思惟记念这个法,这个人就能远离各种灾难。’ 当时,帝释天主(Śakra Devānām Indra)禀告佛陀说:‘如世尊的教导,我应当护持。在后来的末世时代,如果哪个国城、郡邑乃至村落有这个法存在的地方,我应当前往那里恭敬供养;如果有受持这个法的人,我就会护卫和帮助他。’ 当时,佛陀告诉尊者阿难(Ānanda,佛陀的十大弟子之一)说:‘你现在应当受持我的这个正法,在后来的末世时代为各种众生宣讲和演说。为什么呢?因为这个法非常深奥,过去从未有过。如果男子、女人受持这个法,他们就能远离各种疑惑,灭除一切烦恼罪垢。所以,你应当记念、受持。’ 阿难(Ānanda)禀告佛陀说:‘世尊!我依靠佛陀神力的加持和护佑,在末世时代宣讲这个法,使各种众生都能获得利益。世尊!这部经叫什么名字?我们应当如何奉持?’ 佛陀告诉阿难(Ānanda)说:‘这部经的名字叫做‘未曾有正法’,就这样受持。’ 当时,世尊(Bhagavan,佛陀的称号)嘱托了菩萨(Bodhisattva,追求觉悟的修行者)、声闻(Śrāvaka,听闻佛法而证悟的弟子)以及帝释(Śakra)之后,就在法会中佛身左右放出大光明,普遍照耀十方一切世界。在那光明中发出微妙的声音,普遍告诉大众:‘如来(Tathāgata,佛陀的称号)、应供(Arhat,值得供养的人)、正等正觉(Samyak-saṃbuddha,完全觉悟者)所说的正法,乃至劫难毁灭、大海枯竭,这个法也不会…’

English version: 'You should know that this is established by the majestic spiritual power of the Buddha.' At that time, the Buddha said to Śakra Devānām Indra (Lord of the Devas): 'Kauśika (another name for Śakra)! You should now uphold and remember this Dharma, and in the future degenerate age, act as a protector and helper. Why? Because this Dharma can cut off all doubts, purify all karmic obstacles, is equal to all Dharmas, and also has great power. Śakra, you should know: If you are fighting with those Asuras (warlike deities), you should remember this Dharma, then you will be victorious, and they will retreat.' 'Furthermore, if someone is in danger from kings, thieves, tigers, wolves, insects, beasts, evil people, etc., if they can contemplate and remember this Dharma, that person will be able to stay away from all dangers.' At that time, Śakra Devānām Indra said to the Buddha: 'As the World-Honored One (Bhagavan, title for Buddha) instructs, I shall uphold it. In the future degenerate age, if there is a place where this Dharma exists, whether it be a kingdom, city, district, or even a village, I shall go there to respectfully make offerings; if there is someone who upholds this Dharma, I shall protect and help them.' At that time, the Buddha said to Venerable Ānanda (one of the ten principal disciples of the Buddha): 'You should now uphold this Dharma of mine, and in the future degenerate age, proclaim and expound it for all beings. Why? Because this Dharma is very profound and has never existed before. If men or women uphold this Dharma, they will be able to stay away from all doubts and extinguish all afflictions, sins, and defilements. Therefore, you should remember and uphold it.' Ānanda said to the Buddha: 'World-Honored One! Relying on the blessing and protection of the Buddha's spiritual power, I shall proclaim this Dharma in the degenerate age, so that all beings may obtain benefit. World-Honored One! What is the name of this Sutra? How should we uphold it?' The Buddha said to Ānanda: 'The name of this Sutra is 'The Unprecedented Righteous Dharma'; uphold it in this way.' At that time, the World-Honored One (Bhagavan) entrusted the Bodhisattvas (beings seeking enlightenment), Śrāvakas (disciples who attained enlightenment by hearing the Dharma), and Śakra, and then emitted great light from the left and right of the Buddha's body in the assembly, universally illuminating all worlds in the ten directions. From that light came forth a subtle sound, universally proclaiming to the assembly: 'The Righteous Dharma spoken by the Tathāgata (title for Buddha), Arhat (one who is worthy of offerings), Samyak-saṃbuddha (perfectly enlightened one), even if the kalpa is destroyed and the great ocean dries up, this Dharma will not...' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

坏,能为众生作大利益。”是时光中发其声已,所放光明旋还佛身。 是时世尊复告阿难言:“汝持佛语,慎勿忘失,于后末世宣通此法,广为利乐一切众生。” 释迦牟尼佛说是未曾有正法时,有九万六千天人远尘离垢,得法眼净;七百八十万人发阿耨多罗三藐三菩提心;三万二千菩萨得无生法忍;八十万苾刍不受诸法,漏尽意解。 即时三千大千世界六种震动,欲色界天于虚空中奏百千天乐,供养世尊及所说法。 释迦牟尼佛说此正法时,所有一切天魔外道闻已惊怖,皆悉归佛——如佛初转法轮降伏天魔,今日无异。 “此法是诸佛印、是大法印、是解脱印,诸有智者当如是学、如是修行。” 佛说此经已,摩伽陀国王及其眷属,妙吉祥等诸大菩萨,大迦叶、阿难、舍利子、目乾连等诸大声闻,乃至世间天、人、阿修罗、乾闼婆等一切大众,闻佛所说,皆大欢喜,信受奉行。 佛说未曾有正法经卷第六 现代汉语译本:‘好啊,能够为众生带来巨大的利益。’话音刚落,所放出的光明便旋转返回到佛身。 这时,世尊再次告诉阿难(Ananda,佛陀的十大弟子之一)说:‘你要记住佛所说的话,千万不要忘记,在未来的末法时代宣扬流通此法,广泛地为一切众生带来利益和快乐。’ 释迦牟尼佛(Sakyamuni Buddha,佛教的创始人)宣说这前所未有的正法时,有九万六千天人远离尘垢,获得法眼清净;七百八十万人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);三万二千菩萨(Bodhisattva,立志成佛的修行者)证得了无生法忍(Anutpattika-dharma-kshanti,对诸法不生不灭的深刻理解和接受);八十万比丘(Bhikkhu,佛教的出家男众)不再执着于诸法,断尽烦恼,心意解脱。 当时,三千大千世界发生了六种震动,欲界天(Kama-dhatu,佛教宇宙观中位于欲界的天神)在虚空中演奏百千种天乐,供养世尊以及他所宣说的法。 释迦牟尼佛宣说此正法时,所有一切天魔外道听闻后都感到惊恐害怕,全都归顺于佛——就像佛陀初次转法轮(Dharmacakra-pravartana,佛陀的首次说法)降伏天魔一样,今天的情形没有什么不同。 ‘此法是诸佛的印记、是大法的印记、是解脱的印记,所有有智慧的人都应当这样学习、这样修行。’ 佛陀说完这部经后,摩伽陀国王(Magadha,古印度的一个王国)及其眷属,妙吉祥(Manjushri,文殊菩萨)等诸大菩萨,大迦叶(Mahakasyapa,佛陀的十大弟子之一)、阿难(Ananda,佛陀的十大弟子之一)、舍利子(Sariputra,佛陀的十大弟子之一)、目乾连(Maudgalyayana,佛陀的十大弟子之一)等诸大声闻(Sravaka,听闻佛法而证悟的弟子),乃至世间的天人、阿修罗(Asura,一种神道生物)、乾闼婆(Gandharva,一种天神)等一切大众,听闻佛陀所说,都非常欢喜,信受奉行。 《佛说未曾有正法经》卷第六
