尔时，释迦牟尼佛为欲度诸天子故，即化一长者身，手持满钵众味饮食来入法会。到佛所已，以所持食奉上世尊，然后头面礼世尊足，而作是言：“唯愿世尊哀愍我故，受我此食。”是时世尊随长者意而受此食。 于是妙吉祥菩萨从座而起，合掌恭敬，前白佛言：“世尊！佛所受食无有限量，应遍法界而无所著，无施者、无受者，悉皆平等，如法受食。” 尔时，舍利子心生疑念：“施食长者从何所来？岂非妙吉祥菩萨所化而作佛事？” 尔时，世尊知舍利子心之疑念，即告舍利子言：“汝舍利子勿作是念，若来、若去，佛自知时。” 尔时，世尊以所受食掷钵置地。其所掷钵于下方世界各各佛刹现说法者，一一佛前钵皆至彼。 诸佛弟子各发问言：“此钵从何所来？” 诸佛皆为告言：“上方世界名曰娑婆，有佛、世尊号释迦牟尼，今现说法。此钵从彼而来，为欲教化诸菩萨故。” 其钵下过七十二殑伽河沙数佛刹，有世界名光明，佛号光明王如来、应供、正等正觉，现在说法，于彼佛前虚空中住。 尔时，释迦牟尼佛掷是钵已，即告尊者舍利子言：“汝舍利子！当以神力观所掷钵今在何处、于何所住？” 是时舍利子即入十千三摩地门 现代汉语译本：‘无退。’ 尔时，释迦牟尼佛（Sakyamuni Buddha）为了度化诸天子，便化现为一个长者的身形，手中拿着盛满各种美味饮食的钵，来到法会之中。到达佛陀所在之处后，将所持的食物供奉给世尊，然后以头面顶礼世尊的双足，并说道：‘唯愿世尊慈悲怜悯我，接受我这份食物。’这时，世尊顺应长者的心意，接受了这份食物。 于是，妙吉祥菩萨（Manjushri Bodhisattva）从座位上起身，合掌恭敬，上前对佛陀说道：‘世尊！佛陀所接受的食物没有**，应当遍及整个法界而无所执著，没有施予者，也没有接受者，一切都平等无二，如法受食。’ 这时，舍利子（Sariputra）心中生起疑问：‘供养食物的长者是从哪里来的？难道不是妙吉祥菩萨所化现，以此来行佛事吗？’ 这时，世尊知道舍利子心中的疑虑，便告诉舍利子说：‘你舍利子不要这样想，关于来和去，佛陀自然知道时机。’ 这时，世尊将所接受的食物连同钵一起掷向地面。这所掷的钵在下方世界的各个佛刹中，凡是有说法者的地方，每一个佛陀面前都出现了这个钵。 诸佛的弟子们各自发问说：‘这个钵是从哪里来的？’ 诸佛都告诉他们说：‘上方世界名为娑婆（Saha），有一尊佛，世尊，名为释迦牟尼（Sakyamuni），现在正在说法。这个钵是从他那里来的，为了教化诸菩萨的缘故。’ 这个钵向下经过了七十二殑伽河沙（Ganges River sands）数目的佛刹，有一个世界名为光明，佛号光明王如来（Light King Tathagata）、应供（Worthy of Offerings）、正等正觉（Perfectly Enlightened One），现在正在说法，这个钵停留在那位佛陀面前的虚空中。 这时，释迦牟尼佛掷出钵后，便告诉尊者舍利子说：‘你舍利子！应当用你的神通力观察我所掷的钵现在在哪里，停留在什么地方？’ 这时，舍利子立即进入了十千三摩地门（ten thousand Samadhi gates）。

English version: ‘No retreat.’ At that time, Sakyamuni Buddha, in order to liberate the gods, transformed into the body of an elder, holding a bowl filled with various delicious foods, and entered the Dharma assembly. Having arrived at the place where the Buddha was, he offered the food he was holding to the World-Honored One, then bowed his head and face to the feet of the World-Honored One, and said: ‘May the World-Honored One have compassion on me and accept this food of mine.’ At that time, the World-Honored One accepted this food according to the elder's intention. Then, Manjushri Bodhisattva arose from his seat, joined his palms respectfully, and stepped forward to say to the Buddha: ‘World-Honored One! The food accepted by the Buddha has no **, it should pervade the entire Dharma realm without any attachment, there is no giver, and there is no receiver, all are equal and without distinction, and the food is received according to the Dharma.’ At that time, Sariputra had doubts in his mind: ‘Where did the elder who offered the food come from? Could it be that he was transformed by Manjushri Bodhisattva to perform the Buddha's work?’ At that time, the World-Honored One knew the doubts in Sariputra's mind, and told Sariputra: ‘You, Sariputra, do not think like this, as for coming and going, the Buddha knows the time naturally.’ At that time, the World-Honored One threw the received food and bowl to the ground. The thrown bowl appeared in each of the Buddha lands in the lower world, and in front of each Buddha who was expounding the Dharma. The disciples of the Buddhas each asked: ‘Where did this bowl come from?’ The Buddhas all told them: ‘The world above is called Saha, there is a Buddha, the World-Honored One, named Sakyamuni, who is now expounding the Dharma. This bowl came from him, for the purpose of teaching and transforming the Bodhisattvas.’ The bowl passed through seventy-two Ganges River sands number of Buddha lands downwards, there is a world named Light, the Buddha is named Light King Tathagata, Worthy of Offerings, Perfectly Enlightened One, now expounding the Dharma, and the bowl stayed in the empty space in front of that Buddha. At that time, after Sakyamuni Buddha threw the bowl, he told the Venerable Sariputra: ‘You, Sariputra! You should use your divine power to observe where the bowl I threw is now, and where it is staying?’ At that time, Sariputra immediately entered the ten thousand Samadhi gates. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

，于其定中以自智力及佛神通力于十千佛刹遍观此钵，不见所住。从定出已而白佛言：“世尊！如我所观，经十千佛刹，不见此钵所住之处。” 尔时，世尊即告尊者大目乾连言：“汝大目乾连！当以神力观所掷钵何所而住？” 是时尊者大目乾连承佛圣旨，即入八千三摩地门，于其定中以自通力于下方世界经八千佛刹遍观此钵，亦不见所住。从定出已，前白佛言：“世尊！我以自通力于下方世界经八千佛刹，不见此钵所住之处。” 尔时，世尊即告尊者须菩提言：“汝当以神通力观所掷钵今在何处、于何处住？” 须菩提承佛圣旨，即入万二千三摩地门，于其定中经万二千佛刹遍观此钵，不见所住。从定出已，前白佛言：“世尊！我以自通力经万二千佛刹遍观此钵，不见所住。” 如是，五百声闻弟子各各以自神通及天眼力遍观此钵，皆不能见。 尔时，尊者须菩提前白慈氏菩萨摩诃萨言：“仁者受一生记，当补佛处。惟愿今时入三摩地观钵所往，示诸大众。” 慈氏菩萨告须菩提言：“尊者！然我受一生记当得阿耨多罗三藐三菩提，所有妙吉祥菩萨一切三摩地门名字尚不能知，何况证入？唯妙吉祥菩萨悉能证之、所作所行无不通达。须菩提！诸佛、如来所作，今我岂 现代汉语译本： 这时，舍利弗（Sariputra）从禅定中出来，用自己的智慧和佛的神通力，在十千个佛刹（Buddha-kshetra，佛所教化的世界）中遍观这个钵，却没看到它在哪里。从禅定中出来后，他禀告佛说：‘世尊！据我所观察，经过十千个佛刹，没有看到这个钵停留在哪里。’ 这时，世尊就告诉尊者大目乾连（Mahamaudgalyayana）说：‘你，大目乾连！应当用神通力观察我所投掷的钵停留在哪里？’ 当时，尊者大目乾连领受佛的圣旨，立即进入八千个三摩地（Samadhi，禅定）之门，在禅定中用自己的神通力，在下方世界经过八千个佛刹遍观这个钵，也没有看到它在哪里。从禅定中出来后，他向前禀告佛说：‘世尊！我用自己的神通力在下方世界经过八千个佛刹，没有看到这个钵停留在哪里。’ 这时，世尊就告诉尊者须菩提（Subhuti）说：‘你应当用神通力观察我所投掷的钵现在在哪里，停留在哪里？’ 须菩提领受佛的圣旨，立即进入一万二千个三摩地之门，在禅定中经过一万二千个佛刹遍观这个钵，也没有看到它在哪里。从禅定中出来后，他向前禀告佛说：‘世尊！我用自己的神通力经过一万二千个佛刹遍观这个钵，没有看到它停留在哪里。’ 像这样，五百位声闻（Sravaka，听闻佛法而修行的弟子）弟子各自用自己的神通和天眼力遍观这个钵，都不能看到。 这时，尊者须菩提向前对慈氏菩萨摩诃萨（Maitreya Bodhisattva-Mahasattva，弥勒菩萨摩诃萨）说：‘仁者您已受到一生补处的授记，将来应当成佛。希望您现在进入三摩地观察钵的去向，向大众展示。’ 慈氏菩萨告诉须菩提说：‘尊者！虽然我已受到一生补处的授记，将来能够证得阿耨多罗三藐三菩提（Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi，无上正等正觉），但对于妙吉祥菩萨（Manjusri Bodhisattva，文殊菩萨）的一切三摩地之门的名字尚且不能知道，更何况是证入？只有妙吉祥菩萨完全能够证入，所作所行没有不通达的。须菩提！诸佛、如来所作的事情，我怎么能做到呢？’

English version: Then, Sariputra, emerging from his Samadhi, using his own wisdom and the Buddha's supernatural power, thoroughly observed this bowl throughout ten thousand Buddha-kshetras (Buddha-fields, Buddha's lands), but did not see where it was. Having emerged from Samadhi, he reported to the Buddha, saying: 'World Honored One! According to my observation, having traversed ten thousand Buddha-kshetras, I did not see where this bowl was staying.' At that time, the World Honored One then told the Venerable Mahamaudgalyayana: 'You, Mahamaudgalyayana! You should use your supernatural power to observe where the bowl I threw is staying?' At that time, the Venerable Mahamaudgalyayana, receiving the Buddha's sacred decree, immediately entered eight thousand Samadhi gates, and in his Samadhi, using his own supernatural power, thoroughly observed this bowl throughout eight thousand Buddha-kshetras in the lower world, but also did not see where it was staying. Having emerged from Samadhi, he stepped forward and reported to the Buddha, saying: 'World Honored One! I used my own supernatural power to traverse eight thousand Buddha-kshetras in the lower world, but did not see where this bowl was staying.' At that time, the World Honored One then told the Venerable Subhuti: 'You should use your supernatural power to observe where the bowl I threw is now, and where it is staying?' Subhuti, receiving the Buddha's sacred decree, immediately entered twelve thousand Samadhi gates, and in his Samadhi, thoroughly observed this bowl throughout twelve thousand Buddha-kshetras, but did not see where it was staying. Having emerged from Samadhi, he stepped forward and reported to the Buddha, saying: 'World Honored One! I used my own supernatural power to traverse twelve thousand Buddha-kshetras, but did not see where this bowl was staying.' In this way, five hundred Sravaka (Hearer, a disciple who attains enlightenment by hearing the teachings) disciples each used their own supernatural powers and heavenly eye power to thoroughly observe this bowl, but none could see it. At that time, the Venerable Subhuti stepped forward and said to Maitreya Bodhisattva-Mahasattva: 'Benevolent One, you have received the prediction of becoming a Buddha in your next life. I hope that you will now enter Samadhi to observe where the bowl has gone, and show it to the assembly.' Maitreya Bodhisattva told Subhuti: 'Venerable One! Although I have received the prediction of becoming a Buddha in my next life and will attain Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi (Unsurpassed Perfect Enlightenment), I do not even know the names of all the Samadhi gates of Manjusri Bodhisattva (Bodhisattva of Wisdom), let alone enter them. Only Manjusri Bodhisattva is fully capable of entering them, and everything he does and practices is unobstructed. Subhuti! How can I do what the Buddhas and Tathagatas do?' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

能知耶？是故，我今神通、智慧未逮于妙吉祥菩萨。而今世尊所掷之钵，唯妙吉祥可知所住，降兹已往皆莫能知。” 是时须菩提前白佛言：“世尊！彼妙吉祥菩萨功德尊胜，自舍如来无能过者，应知世尊所掷之钵。惟愿世尊敕妙吉祥菩萨以大神通取钵赴会，示诸大众而作佛事。” 于时世尊即告妙吉祥菩萨言：“妙吉祥！汝知此钵当何所往，复何所住。” 于是妙吉祥菩萨承佛语已，而作是念：“我今不起于座、不离佛会、不隐其身，当取此钵示诸大众。”作是念已即入三摩地，于其定中舒其右手，于下方界过一一佛刹。于一一佛前，其手发声作如是言：“我今敬礼诸佛，我师释迦牟尼佛问讯世尊：‘少病、少恼，起居轻利，安乐行不？’”伸问讯已，其手于一一毛孔放百千俱胝光明，一一光明有百千莲华，一一华上各有如来坐于其上，一一如来各各赞叹释迦牟尼佛。一一世界皆悉六种震动，现大光明遍照佛土，复现幢幡、伞盖、种种严饰之具而作佛事。如是，一一佛刹悉皆如是，度七十二殑伽沙数佛刹已到光明王佛所，其手发声致敬问讯亦复如是。复放百千光明，一一光中有百千莲华，一一华上皆有佛坐，诸佛各各赞叹释迦如来，光明交照，洞彻无量。 尔时，光明王佛会中有菩萨名曰 现代汉语译本：能知道吗？因此，我现在的神通和智慧还不及妙吉祥菩萨（Manjushri Bodhisattva，文殊菩萨）。现在世尊所投掷的钵，只有妙吉祥菩萨能够知道它在哪里，从那以后，谁都不能知道了。” 这时，须菩提（Subhuti）禀告佛说：“世尊！那位妙吉祥菩萨功德尊贵殊胜，除了如来，没有人能超过他，应该知道世尊所投掷的钵。惟愿世尊命令妙吉祥菩萨以大神通取回钵来赴会，向大众展示，以此来作佛事。” 这时，世尊就告诉妙吉祥菩萨说：“妙吉祥！你知道这个钵将往何处去，又将停留在何处吗？” 于是妙吉祥菩萨领受佛的教诲后，心中这样想：‘我现在不起身离开座位，不离开佛的集会，不隐藏我的身形，就能够取回这个钵，展示给大众。’这样想着，就进入三摩地（Samadhi，禅定），在禅定中伸出右手，经过下方世界一个又一个的佛刹（Buddha-kshetra，佛土）。在每一个佛前，他的手发出声音，这样说道：‘我现在恭敬顶礼诸佛，我的老师释迦牟尼佛（Sakyamuni Buddha）问候世尊：‘少病少恼，起居轻便顺利，安乐吗？’伸出手问候完毕，他的手从每一个毛孔放出成百上千俱胝（koti，印度数字单位）的光明，每一道光明中都有成百上千的莲花，每一朵莲花上都有一位如来（Tathagata，佛）坐在上面，每一位如来都各自赞叹释迦牟尼佛。每一个世界都发生六种震动，显现出巨大的光明遍照佛土，又显现出幢幡、伞盖、各种庄严的装饰品，以此来作佛事。’像这样，每一个佛刹都完全一样，度过七十二殑伽沙（Ganges sand，恒河沙）数目的佛刹后，到达光明王佛（Light King Buddha）所在之处，他的手发出声音致敬问候，也像前面一样。又放出成百上千的光明，每一道光明中都有成百上千的莲花，每一朵莲花上都有一位佛坐在上面，诸佛各自赞叹释迦如来，光明交相辉映，洞彻无量。 这时，光明王佛的集会中有一位菩萨名叫
