佛尔时便笑，若干种色光，色色各异，从口中出——青、黄、赤、白——遍照无央数佛刹，皆覆蔽日月之明，还绕身三匝，便从顶上忽然不现。 尔时拔陀斯利便于佛前赞叹佛，而说偈言： “在人中无有上， 于行中无所等， 今三界无有比， 佛威神如盛华。 如飞鸟在虚空， 若欲笑一切可， 所可说皆柔软， 悉饱满于十方。 口所说如莲华， 人中上悉与眼， 今所说无不可， 声软好如梵天。 今佛笑当何感？” 佛尔时为瓶沙王夫人拔陀斯利亘那腊说偈言： “我自念无央 数恒边沙劫， 尔时于世有， 佛名为福明， 教授世间住， 寿六十七劫， 尔时法王众， 僧复无央数。 时有遮迦越， 王名为慧刚， 王有两夫人， 一名为月明， 于欲无所索， 诸法无所著， 弃家行学道， 一亿岁护法。 如是不可计， 于无数诸佛， 法欲尽时生， 彼护于后法； 然后来世世， 恒边沙佛等， 当复于彼处， 生护于后法。 遮迦越慧刚， 王于阿閦佛， 与诸夫人数， 皆生于彼国。 悉已护法寿， 终后为男子， 生须摩诃提， 见阿弥陀佛。 八千婇女及， 摩竭优 现代汉语译本： 佛陀当时便笑了，从口中发出各种颜色的光芒，**各不相同**——青色、黄色、红色、白色——遍照无数的佛刹（buddhakṣetra，佛所居住的国土），全部遮蔽了日月的光明，然后环绕佛身三圈，便从头顶上忽然消失了。 这时，拔陀斯利（Bhadraśrī）便在佛陀面前赞叹佛陀，并说了以下偈颂： ‘在人中没有比您更高的，在修行中没有能与您相比的，如今三界之内没有能与您相比的，佛陀的威神就像盛开的鲜花。 就像飞鸟在虚空中一样，如果想笑，一切都可以，所说的话都柔和，全部充满十方。 口中所说的话像莲花一样，在人中是至高无上的，拥有一切美好的眼睛，如今所说的话没有不可接受的，声音柔和美好如梵天。 如今佛陀的笑，将带来什么样的感应呢？’ 佛陀当时为瓶沙王（Bimbisāra）的夫人拔陀斯利亘那腊（Bhadraśrī Ghoṇālaka）说了以下偈颂： ‘我回忆起无数恒河沙劫之前，那时世间有一位佛，名为福明（Puṇyadīpa），教导世间众生安住，寿命长达六十七劫，那时法王的弟子，僧众也无数。 当时有一位转轮圣王（cakravartin），名为慧刚（Matibala），国王有两位夫人，一位名为月明（Candradīpa），对欲望没有丝毫贪求，对诸法没有丝毫执着， 舍弃家庭修行学道，一亿岁都在护持佛法。 像这样不可计数，在无数诸佛的时代，在佛法将要衰竭的时候出生，他们护持末法时期的佛法； 然后在未来的世世代代，像恒河沙数般的诸佛时代，他们将再次在那里出生，护持末法时期的佛法。 转轮圣王慧刚（Matibala），在阿閦佛（Akṣobhya）的国土，与他的夫人们，都往生到那个国度。 他们都已护持佛法至寿终，死后转生为男子，生于须摩诃提（Sumahāti），见到了阿弥陀佛（Amitābha）。 八千婇女以及摩竭优（Magadha）’

English version: At that time, the Buddha smiled, and various colors of light, **each different**, emanated from his mouth—blue, yellow, red, white—illuminating countless Buddha-fields (buddhakṣetra, the land where a Buddha resides), completely obscuring the brightness of the sun and moon. Then, circling his body three times, the light suddenly disappeared from the top of his head. At that time, Bhadraśrī praised the Buddha before him and spoke the following verse: ‘Among humans, there is none higher, in practice, there is none equal, now within the three realms, there is none comparable, the Buddha's majestic power is like a blooming flower. Like a bird flying in the sky, if you wish to smile, all is permissible, what is said is all gentle, completely filling the ten directions. What is spoken from the mouth is like a lotus flower, among humans, you are supreme, possessing all beautiful eyes, now what is said is all acceptable, the voice is gentle and beautiful like Brahmā. Now, what response will the Buddha's smile bring?’ At that time, the Buddha spoke the following verse for Bhadraśrī Ghoṇālaka, the wife of King Bimbisāra: ‘I recall countless kalpas as numerous as the sands of the Ganges, at that time there was a Buddha in the world named Puṇyadīpa, who taught sentient beings to dwell in peace, his lifespan lasting sixty-seven kalpas, at that time the disciples of the Dharma King, the Sangha, were also countless. At that time, there was a Cakravartin (cakravartin, wheel-turning monarch) named Matibala, the king had two wives, one named Candradīpa, who had no desire for sensual pleasures, no attachment to any dharmas, abandoning their homes to practice the path, protecting the Dharma for one hundred million years. Like this, immeasurable, in the times of countless Buddhas, born when the Dharma was about to decline, they protected the Dharma in the degenerate age; and then in future generations, in the times of Buddhas as numerous as the sands of the Ganges, they will be born there again, protecting the Dharma in the degenerate age. The Cakravartin Matibala, in the land of Akṣobhya (Akṣobhya, the Immovable One), with his wives, were all reborn in that land. They all protected the Dharma until the end of their lives, after death, they were reborn as men, born in Sumahāti, and saw Amitābha (Amitābha, Infinite Light). Eight thousand celestial maidens and Magadha’

婆夷， 若法欲尽时， 常当护佛法。 寿终后皆得， 卅二相如佛， 坐于莲华到， 阿弥陀佛前。 是诸婇女供， 养当如慧王， 然于后来劫， 一切无爱欲。 便于后来劫， 一切当为佛， 教授诸天人， 为其说正法。 是时佛刹中， 亦无有魔事， 其刹无爱欲， 亦无三恶道。 常以无央数， 诸菩萨为僧， 亦不闻道有， 阿罗汉之名。 若有人欲护， 于诸佛法者， 不求欲得名， 闻及与寿命。 如是行住者， 疾近为菩萨， 自在其意愿， 欲起何刹土。 若等诸菩萨， 当起恭敬意， 我起恭敬意， 无所猗护法。 作是行者便， 得去离生死， 莫于世间作， 习贪著于欲。 我所以于无， 数劫以妻子， 舍国及头目， 用索佛法故。 无行者用供， 养故坏佛法， 便展转起诤， 欲得供养故。 时坐八十亿， 人垂泪而言， 若法尽时吾， 等当护后法。 说经动三千， 刹诸天散华， 快善哉世间， 人乃闻是经。 一切恒边沙， 无数诸佛刹， 满中诸珍宝， 悉以供养佛。 不如一时信， 解是印三昧， 其福欲譬之， 不可以比慧。 现代汉语译本 婆夷（Vaidehi）， 如果佛法将要衰败的时候，应当常常守护佛法。 寿命终结后都能获得，三十二相（lakṣaṇa）如同佛陀一样， 坐在莲花上到达，阿弥陀佛（Amitābha）面前。 这些众多的婇女供养，应当如同慧王（wisdom king）， 然后在后来的劫数中，一切都没有爱欲。 于是在后来的劫数中，一切都将成为佛陀， 教导诸天人和人类，为他们宣说正法。 这时佛的刹土中，也没有魔事发生， 那个刹土没有爱欲，也没有三恶道。 常常以无数的，诸菩萨作为僧众， 也不听到有，阿罗汉（arhat）的名字。 如果有人想要守护，诸佛的佛法， 不求想要得到名声，听闻以及寿命。 像这样行住的人，很快接近成为菩萨， 自在地按照自己的意愿，想要发起什么样的刹土。 如果平等地对待诸菩萨，应当生起恭敬之心， 我生起恭敬之心，无所依赖地守护佛法。 这样做的人，便能够脱离生死， 不要在世间，养成贪婪执着于欲望的习气。 我所以在无数劫以来，舍弃妻子， 舍弃国家以及头目，用来寻求佛法的缘故。 没有德行的人用供养的缘故，破坏佛法， 便辗转发起争端，想要得到供养的缘故。 当时坐着的八十亿人，垂泪说道， 如果佛法衰败的时候，我们应当守护后来的佛法。 说这部经的时候，震动三千大千世界（trisāhasra-mahāsāhasra-lokadhātu），诸天散花， 太好了，世间的人竟然能够听闻这部经。 一切恒河沙数，无数的诸佛刹土， 充满各种珍宝，全部用来供养佛陀。 不如一时信解，这个印三昧（mudrā-samādhi）， 它的福德想要比喻，不可以用智慧来相比。

English version Vaidehi, If the Dharma is about to decline, one should always protect the Buddha Dharma. After the end of life, one can attain the thirty-two marks (lakṣaṇa), like the Buddha, Sitting on a lotus flower, one arrives before Amitābha (Amitābha). These many consorts offer, as if to a wisdom king, Then in later kalpas, there will be no desire. Then in later kalpas, all will become Buddhas, Teaching gods and humans, expounding the true Dharma for them. At this time, in the Buddha's land, there will be no demonic affairs, That land has no desire, nor the three evil paths. Always with countless, Bodhisattvas as the Sangha, Nor is it heard that there is, the name of Arhat (arhat). If someone wants to protect, the Dharma of all Buddhas, Not seeking to gain fame, hearing, and longevity. Those who live and act like this, quickly approach becoming Bodhisattvas, Freely according to their wishes, wanting to create what kind of Buddha-land. If treating all Bodhisattvas equally, one should generate a respectful mind, I generate a respectful mind, protecting the Dharma without reliance. Those who act in this way, will be able to escape from birth and death, Do not in the world, develop the habit of greed and attachment to desires. The reason why I have, in countless kalpas, abandoned my wife and children, Abandoned my country and head, to seek the Buddha Dharma. Those without virtue, use offerings as a reason, to destroy the Buddha Dharma, Then they start disputes, wanting to receive offerings. At that time, eighty billion people sitting there, said with tears, If the Dharma declines, we should protect the later Dharma. When this sutra was spoken, the three thousand great thousand worlds (trisāhasra-mahāsāhasra-lokadhātu) shook, and the gods scattered flowers, Wonderful, people in the world can hear this sutra. All the Ganges river sands, countless Buddha lands, Filled with various treasures, all used to offer to the Buddha. It is not as good as believing and understanding for a moment, this mudrā-samādhi, Its merit, wanting to compare it, cannot be compared with wisdom. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 不用力及强， 可得菩萨行， 闻佛尊正法， 便起菩萨意。 其有起恭敬， 于是尊经者， 作行如是者， 便疾得为佛。”

尔时弥勒菩萨白佛言：“后当有几人能受持是三昧者？” 佛语弥勒菩萨言：“弥勒！若有后来世人持想起功德者，设使我说，若便不乐。” 弥勒菩萨白佛言：“愿佛愍伤一切人故，唯为说之！若有诸菩萨谛欲学者，菩萨当护其行，令无缺减于阿耨多罗三藐三菩提心。” 佛语弥勒菩萨言：“若有菩萨于百佛已起菩萨意，然后坏败菩萨行；若有菩萨于千佛已起菩萨意，然后复起菩萨意，诽谤方等经，亦不解；若于十万佛已起菩萨意，然后亦复起菩萨意，不诽谤方等经，亦不讽诵读之；若于百万佛已起菩萨意，然后亦复起菩萨意，不诽谤方等经，亦不讽诵读之；若于一亿佛已起菩萨意，然后亦复起菩萨意，闻方等经书之，于其中不晓了；若于十亿佛已起菩萨意，然后亦复起菩萨意，得方等经书之、讽诵读之，亦不能得法忍，亦不能得是三昧，亦不乐是三昧；若于八十亿佛闻是三昧，持之、讽诵读之，已于八十亿佛前皆起菩萨心，得方等经，持之、书之、讽诵读之，得是三昧，坚持、无瑕秽奉行之，终不为魔所得，不为罪所盖。若于阿僧祇劫中所作 现代汉语译本 不依靠蛮力或强求，便能获得菩萨的修行， 听闻佛陀至尊的正法，便发起菩萨的意念。 那些心怀恭敬，尊重佛经的人， 如此修行，便能迅速成佛。 这时，弥勒菩萨（Maitreya Bodhisattva，未来佛）对佛陀说：‘将来会有多少人能够受持这部三昧（Samadhi，禅定）经典呢？’ 佛陀告诉弥勒菩萨（Maitreya Bodhisattva）说：‘弥勒（Maitreya）！如果后世之人执着于想起功德，即使我说了，他们也不会喜欢。’ 弥勒菩萨（Maitreya Bodhisattva）对佛陀说：‘希望佛陀怜悯一切众生，请为他们解说！如果有菩萨真心想学习，菩萨应当守护他们的修行，使他们对阿耨多罗三藐三菩提心（Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi，无上正等正觉之心）没有缺失。’ 佛陀告诉弥勒菩萨（Maitreya Bodhisattva）说：‘如果有菩萨在一百尊佛前发起菩萨意念，然后又败坏菩萨的修行；如果有菩萨在一千尊佛前发起菩萨意念，然后又生起其他意念，诽谤方等经典（Vaipulya Sutra，大乘经典），也不理解其中的含义；如果在一万尊佛前发起菩萨意念，然后又生起其他意念，不诽谤方等经典（Vaipulya Sutra），也不讽诵读诵；如果在一百万尊佛前发起菩萨意念，然后又生起其他意念，不诽谤方等经典（Vaipulya Sutra），也不讽诵读诵；如果在一亿尊佛前发起菩萨意念，然后又生起其他意念，听闻方等经典（Vaipulya Sutra）并书写下来，但对其中的含义不了解；如果在十亿尊佛前发起菩萨意念，然后又生起其他意念，得到方等经典（Vaipulya Sutra）并书写、讽诵读诵，也不能得到法忍（Dharma-ksanti，对佛法的忍可），也不能得到这部三昧（Samadhi），也不喜欢这部三昧（Samadhi）；如果在八十亿尊佛前听闻这部三昧（Samadhi），受持、讽诵读诵，已经在八十亿尊佛前都发起过菩萨心，得到方等经典（Vaipulya Sutra），受持、书写、讽诵读诵，得到这部三昧（Samadhi），坚持、没有瑕疵地奉行，最终不会被邪魔所控制，不会被罪业所覆盖。如果在阿僧祇劫（Asankhya kalpa，无数劫）中所作

English version Without force or compulsion, one can attain the practice of a Bodhisattva, Upon hearing the Buddha's supreme and righteous Dharma, one then generates the intention of a Bodhisattva. Those who arise with reverence and respect the Sutras, Practicing in this way, one will quickly attain Buddhahood. At that time, Maitreya Bodhisattva (the future Buddha) said to the Buddha: 'In the future, how many people will be able to uphold this Samadhi (state of meditative consciousness)?' The Buddha said to Maitreya Bodhisattva: 'Maitreya! If future generations of people cling to the merit of recollection, they will not rejoice even if I speak of it.' Maitreya Bodhisattva said to the Buddha: 'Out of compassion for all beings, may the Buddha please explain it! If there are Bodhisattvas who sincerely wish to learn, Bodhisattvas should protect their practice, ensuring that they do not diminish their minds towards Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi (unsurpassed perfect enlightenment).' The Buddha said to Maitreya Bodhisattva: 'If there are Bodhisattvas who generate the intention of a Bodhisattva before one hundred Buddhas, and then corrupt their Bodhisattva practice; if there are Bodhisattvas who generate the intention of a Bodhisattva before one thousand Buddhas, and then generate other intentions, slandering the Vaipulya Sutras (Mahayana Sutras), and also do not understand them; if before ten thousand Buddhas they generate the intention of a Bodhisattva, and then generate other intentions, not slandering the Vaipulya Sutras, and also do not recite them; if before one million Buddhas they generate the intention of a Bodhisattva, and then generate other intentions, not slandering the Vaipulya Sutras, and also do not recite them; if before one hundred million Buddhas they generate the intention of a Bodhisattva, and then generate other intentions, hearing the Vaipulya Sutras and writing them down, but do not understand their meaning; if before ten hundred million Buddhas they generate the intention of a Bodhisattva, and then generate other intentions, obtaining the Vaipulya Sutras, writing them down, and reciting them, but also cannot attain Dharma-ksanti (acceptance of the Dharma), also cannot attain this Samadhi, and also do not rejoice in this Samadhi; if before eighty hundred million Buddhas they hear this Samadhi, uphold it, and recite it, having already generated the Bodhisattva mind before eighty hundred million Buddhas, obtaining the Vaipulya Sutras, upholding them, writing them down, and reciting them, attaining this Samadhi, upholding it, practicing it without flaw or blemish, they will ultimately not be controlled by demons, and will not be covered by sins.
