English version: Suffering thus, abiding thus, because of not having entered this path of Dharma, one endures such suffering. Discriminating suffering in the absence of suffering, perverted suffering, therefore, if those who aspire to the Bodhisattva-yana (Bodhisattva-yana, the path of practice with the goal of benefiting all beings), if those who aspire to the Pratyekabuddha-yana (Pratyekabuddha-yana, the path of practice to achieve enlightenment on one's own), if those who aspire to the Śrāvakayāna (Śrāvakayāna, the path of liberation through hearing the Buddha's teachings), do not need such karmic obstacles, do not need such suffering, they should not denigrate or abandon various Dharmas, nor should they denigrate or abandon those true Dharmas, nor should they generate hatred and obstacles in one place. At that time, the Buddha said to Mañjuśrī (Mañjuśrī, another name for Manjushri Bodhisattva) Kumārabhūta: 'Mañjuśrī! At that time, because you heard that Gatha (Gāthā, a verse or stanza), what excellent deeds did you perform?' Mañjuśrī said: 'World-Honored One! Because I heard that Gatha, I arose from those karmic obstacles, and after wandering and transmigrating everywhere, I obtained profound forbearance in various places, obtained decisive forbearance, and became skilled at expounding profound Dharma.' The Buddha said: 'Mañjuśrī! Whose divine power allowed you to recall such long-ago karmic obstacles?' Mañjuśrī said: 'World-Honored One! All Bodhisattvas, whether they contemplate, remember, or recollect accordingly, all of that is the divine power of the Tathāgata (Tathāgata, one of the titles of the Buddha). Why is that? World-Honored One! Such Dharmas are all the nature of the Tathāgata.' The Buddha said: 'If one attains the ten powers of the Tathāgata (Daśa-bala, the ten powers possessed by the Buddha), the merit is equal to that of one who hears this Dharma-source; if one obtains forbearance in the unproduced Dharma (Anutpāda-dharma, the truth of non-arising and non-ceasing), the merit is equal to that of one who hears this Dharma-source.' Mañjuśrī said: 'World-Honored One! According to my understanding of the meaning of what the Buddha said, the result of hearing this Dharma-source is inconceivable.' The Buddha said: 'So it is, so it is. Mañjuśrī! Just as you said. The result of hearing this Dharma-source is inconceivable, but the Tathāgata does not specifically describe it. Why is that? Those who are not diligent in practice and are not virtuous people, if they hear this, will not believe and understand it. Mañjuśrī! This is the gateway to all Dharmas.' At that time, Mañjuśrī Kumārabhūta and Maitreya (Maitreya, another name for Maitreya Bodhisattva) Bodhisattva-Mahāsattva (Mahāsattva, a great Bodhisattva) again said to the Buddha: 'World-Honored One! We should uphold this Dharma-source, so that in the future age, during the decline of the Dharma in the last five hundred years, it will be widely spread to many people, and not allow Māra (Māra, the demon in Buddhism) and Māra-kāyika-deva (Māra-kāyika-deva, the heavens ruled by the demon king) to take advantage of it.' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ”

尔时世尊为住持此法本故，左右观视如是无间。世尊观已，彼时十方恒伽河沙等佛土六种振动。于彼时中，世尊则为已住持此法本。自余诸佛世尊，于恒伽河沙等世界中，亦住持此法本。说此法本时，乃至十方恒伽河沙倍多，于彼众生无生法中得忍，彼复倍多于法证见，何况复言住声闻乘、独觉地、无学地？ 尔时命者阿难陀而白佛言：“世尊！云何名此法本？我云何持？”佛言：“阿难陀！此法本名‘说诸法不转’，此名当持。” 佛说此时，曼殊尸利童真欢喜，慈氏菩萨摩诃萨、师子游步菩萨摩诃萨，莲华游戏智通天子及余天子，并彼大菩萨众，诸天、人、犍闼婆、阿修罗等，闻佛所说，皆大欢喜。 诸法本无经卷下 现代汉语译本： 那时，世尊为了住持（维持）这个法本的缘故，左右观看，没有间断。世尊观看完毕，那时十方如恒河沙数一样多的佛土发生了六种震动。在那时，世尊就已经住持了这个法本。其余的诸佛世尊，在如恒河沙数一样多的世界中，也住持了这个法本。在宣说这个法本的时候，乃至十方恒河沙数倍多的众生，在无生法中得到了忍（对无生无灭的真理的确认），他们之中证见真理的又更多，更何况是安住于声闻乘、独觉地、无学地的人呢？ 那时，阿难陀（Ananda，佛陀的十大弟子之一）向佛陀说道：‘世尊！这个法本叫什么名字？我应该如何受持？’佛陀说：‘阿难陀！这个法本名为“说诸法不转”，这个名字你应该记住并受持。’ 佛陀说这段话的时候，曼殊尸利（曼殊尸利，即文殊菩萨）童真欢喜，慈氏菩萨摩诃萨（Maitreya Bodhisattva Mahasattva，即弥勒菩萨）、师子游步菩萨摩诃萨（Simhavikridita Bodhisattva Mahasattva），莲华游戏智通天子（Lalitavyuhajnanadhara Deva）以及其他天子，以及那些大菩萨众，诸天、人、犍闼婆（Gandharva，天上的乐神）、阿修罗（Asura，一种好战的神）等，听闻佛陀所说，都非常欢喜。 诸法本无经卷下

English version: At that time, the World Honored One, for the sake of upholding this Dharma text, gazed around without interruption. After the World Honored One had gazed, at that time, the Buddha lands as numerous as the sands of the Ganges River in the ten directions shook in six ways. At that time, the World Honored One had already upheld this Dharma text. The other World Honored Buddhas, in worlds as numerous as the sands of the Ganges River, also upheld this Dharma text. When this Dharma text was spoken, even beings in numbers many times greater than the sands of the Ganges River in the ten directions attained forbearance in the unoriginated Dharma (acceptance of the truth of non-arising), and even more of them attained the vision of Dharma. How much more so those who abide in the Sravaka Vehicle, the Pratyekabuddha Ground, and the Ground of No More Learning? At that time, the Venerable Ananda (Ananda, one of the ten great disciples of the Buddha) said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One! What is the name of this Dharma text? How should I uphold it?' The Buddha said: 'Ananda! This Dharma text is named 'Speaking of the Non-Reversal of All Dharmas'; you should remember and uphold this name.' When the Buddha spoke these words, Manjushri (Manjushri, the Bodhisattva of Wisdom), the pure youth, rejoiced; Maitreya Bodhisattva Mahasattva (Maitreya Bodhisattva Mahasattva, the future Buddha), Simhavikridita Bodhisattva Mahasattva (Simhavikridita Bodhisattva Mahasattva), Lalitavyuhajnanadhara Deva (Lalitavyuhajnanadhara Deva), and other devas, along with those great Bodhisattva assemblies, devas, humans, Gandharvas (Gandharva, celestial musicians), Asuras (Asura, a type of warring deity), and others, hearing what the Buddha had said, all greatly rejoiced.
