“舍利弗！若比丘、比丘尼、沙弥、沙弥尼、优婆塞、优婆夷，发清净心，为求福故、为爱乐福故，思念如来，无上方便本行满足，尽未来际一切生死，于现在世成就无量无著戒、定、智慧、解脱、解脱知见，乃至念佛一种功德。念功德已，于无量亿那由他百千劫中，所习善根三明福田所、清净戒所、无等等戒所、无量真实功德所，或于塔庙诸形像前，而设供养故，奉施灯明，乃至以少灯炷，或苏油涂然，持以奉施，其明唯照道之一阶。 “舍利弗！如此福德非是一切声闻、缘觉所能了知，唯佛、如来乃能知也！舍利弗！求世报者，福德尚尔，何况以清净深乐心，不求果报，安住恭敬，相续无间念佛功德！善男子、善女人等所生福德，舍利弗！照道一阶福德尚尔，何况全照一阶道也，或二阶道、或二阶道、或四阶道；或及塔身一级、二级乃至多级；一面、二面乃至四面及佛形像！ “舍利弗！彼所燃灯，或时速灭，或风吹灭，或油尽灭，或炷尽灭，或俱尽灭。譬如诸龙以瞋恚故，出云垂布，于中起电，起已寻灭。 “舍利弗！如是少时于佛塔庙奉施灯明，若彼比丘、比丘尼、沙弥、沙弥尼、优婆塞、优婆夷，若复余人不受戒者，为乐善故，护己身故，信佛、法、僧，如是少灯 现代汉语译本： 生出无上的福田。 ‘舍利弗（Śāriputra，佛陀十大弟子之一，以智慧著称）！如果比丘（bhikṣu，男性出家人）、比丘尼（bhikṣuṇī，女性出家人）、沙弥（śrāmaṇera，未成年男性出家人）、沙弥尼（śrāmaṇerikā，未成年女性出家人）、优婆塞（upāsaka，在家男居士）、优婆夷（upāsikā，在家女居士），发起清净的心，为了求福的缘故、为了喜爱福的缘故，思念如来（Tathāgata，佛陀的称号之一），如来无上的方便和根本的修行圆满，尽未来世一切生死轮回，在现在的世间成就无量无执著的戒、定、智慧、解脱、解脱知见，乃至仅仅是念佛这一种功德。念佛功德之后，在无量亿那由他（nayuta，数量单位，意为亿）百千劫中，所修习的善根，三明（trividya，宿命明、天眼明、漏尽明）福田之处，清净戒之处，无等等戒之处，无量真实功德之处，或者在佛塔寺庙的各种佛像前，设置供养，奉献灯明，乃至用少量的灯芯，或者用酥油涂抹点燃，拿来奉献，那灯光仅仅照亮佛塔的一级台阶。 ‘舍利弗！这样的福德不是一切声闻（śrāvaka，听闻佛陀教诲而证悟者）、缘觉（pratyekabuddha，靠自己力量觉悟者）所能了解的，只有佛、如来才能知道！舍利弗！求世间福报的人，福德尚且如此，何况以清净深切的欢喜心，不求果报，安住于恭敬，持续不断地念佛功德！善男子、善女人等所产生的福德，舍利弗！照亮佛塔一级台阶的福德尚且如此，何况完全照亮一级台阶，或者两级台阶，或者三级台阶，或者四级台阶；或者照到塔身的一层、两层乃至多层；一面、两面乃至四面以及佛的形像！’ ‘舍利弗！他们所燃的灯，有时很快就熄灭，或者被风吹灭，或者油烧尽而灭，或者灯芯烧尽而灭，或者油和灯芯都烧尽而灭。譬如诸龙因为嗔恚的缘故，放出乌云遮蔽天空，在云中闪电，闪电之后立刻就消失。’ ‘舍利弗！像这样短暂的时间在佛塔寺庙奉献灯明，如果那些比丘、比丘尼、沙弥、沙弥尼、优婆塞、优婆夷，或者其他没有受戒的人，为了喜爱行善的缘故，为了保护自己的缘故，信仰佛、法、僧三宝，像这样少量的灯光’

English version: Generating unsurpassed fields of merit. 'Śāriputra! If a bhikṣu (monk), bhikṣuṇī (nun), śrāmaṇera (male novice), śrāmaṇerikā (female novice), upāsaka (male lay devotee), or upāsikā (female lay devotee) generates a pure mind, for the sake of seeking merit, for the sake of delighting in merit, contemplates the Tathāgata (the Thus-Gone One), the unsurpassed skillful means and fundamental practices being complete, throughout all future lives and deaths, in the present world achieves immeasurable and unattached precepts, samādhi (concentration), wisdom, liberation, and the knowledge and vision of liberation, even just the single merit of reciting the Buddha's name. Having recited the merit, in immeasurable billions of nayutas (a unit of large number) of hundreds of thousands of kalpas (eons), the roots of goodness cultivated, the fields of merit of the three kinds of knowledge (knowledge of previous lives, divine eye, and extinction of outflows), the place of pure precepts, the place of unequalled precepts, the place of immeasurable true merit, or in front of various images in stupas (Buddhist monuments) and temples, setting up offerings, offering lamps, even with a small wick, or applying ghee (clarified butter) to light it, holding it to offer, its light only illuminates one step of the path. 'Śāriputra! Such merit is not something that all śrāvakas (hearers) and pratyekabuddhas (solitary Buddhas) can understand, only the Buddha, the Tathāgata, can know it! Śāriputra! For those who seek worldly rewards, the merit is already like this, how much more so for those who, with a pure and deeply joyful mind, not seeking rewards, abide in reverence, continuously and without interruption reciting the Buddha's merit! The merit generated by good men and good women, Śāriputra! The merit of illuminating one step of the path is already like this, how much more so for fully illuminating one step of the path, or two steps, or three steps, or four steps; or reaching one level, two levels, or even many levels of the stupa body; one side, two sides, or even four sides, and the Buddha's image!' 'Śāriputra! The lamps they light, sometimes quickly extinguish, or are blown out by the wind, or extinguish when the oil is exhausted, or extinguish when the wick is exhausted, or both are exhausted. It is like the dragons, out of anger, releasing clouds to cover the sky, and lightning arises within them, and after arising, it immediately disappears.' 'Śāriputra! Like this short time of offering lamps in stupas and temples, if those bhikṣus, bhikṣuṇīs, śrāmaṇeras, śrāmaṇerikās, upāsakas, upāsikās, or other people who have not taken precepts, for the sake of delighting in goodness, for the sake of protecting themselves, believe in the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha (the Triple Gem), like this small lamp' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

奉施福田，所得果报福德之聚，唯佛能知。一切世间天、人、魔、梵、沙门、婆罗门，乃至声闻、辟支佛等所不能知。如是然少灯明，所受福报不可得说。 “舍利弗！诸佛境界不可思议，唯有如来乃知此义。舍利弗！彼施灯者，所得福聚无量无边，不可算数，唯有如来乃能了知。舍利弗！然少灯明福德尚尔，不可算数，况我灭后于佛塔寺，若自作、若教他作，或然一灯、二灯乃至多灯，香花、璎鬘、宝幢、幡盖及余种种胜妙供养！ “舍利弗！有四种法应当信受。何等为四？一者、佛法无量，应当信受；二者、少修善根，获无量报，应当信受；三者、若于三宝深生敬信，善修业行，所得福报，汝等声闻现得见我，尚不能得具足知之，亦复不能思惟测度，况我灭后声闻弟子远离我者，能得现知及能测度？若有能知及测度者，无有是处，应当信受；四者、是诸声闻不能得知及能测量一切众生所有作业及业果报。舍利弗！汝等声闻于此事中不须思量。何以故？舍利弗！如来常说一切众生业行果报不可思量；过去诸佛、应、正遍知已如是说众生业报不可思量；未来诸佛、应、正遍知当如是说众生业报不可思量。众生心信及心自性亦不可知、不可思量，如是之义应当信受！ “舍利弗！汝等声闻住圣种者， 现代汉语译本 供养福田所获得的果报和福德的聚集，只有佛才能完全了解。一切世间的天、人、魔（指天魔）、梵（指梵天）、沙门（指出家修道者）、婆罗门（指祭司），乃至声闻（听闻佛法而修道者）、辟支佛（又称缘觉，不依师教而自己觉悟者）等都无法完全了解。即使是点燃少许灯火，所获得的福报也是难以言说的。 ‘舍利弗（佛陀的十大弟子之一，以智慧著称）！诸佛的境界是不可思议的，只有如来（佛的称号之一）才能了解其中的真义。舍利弗！那些布施灯火的人，所获得的福德聚集是无量无边的，不可计数，只有如来才能完全了解。舍利弗！即使是点燃少许灯火的福德尚且如此，不可计数，更何况在我灭度之后，在佛塔寺庙中，无论是自己建造，还是教他人建造，或者点燃一盏灯、两盏灯乃至更多的灯，以及用香花、璎鬘（用珠玉穿成的装饰品）、宝幢（装饰华丽的幢幡）、幡盖（旗幡和伞盖）以及其他各种殊胜美妙的供养！’ ‘舍利弗！有四种法应当信受。是哪四种呢？第一，佛法是无量的，应当信受；第二，即使只是稍微修习善根，也能获得无量的果报，应当信受；第三，如果对三宝（佛、法、僧）深生敬信，努力修习善业，所获得的福报，你们这些声闻弟子现在亲眼见到我，尚且不能完全了解，也不能思惟测度，更何况在我灭度之后，远离我的声闻弟子，怎么能够现知和测度呢？如果有人能够了解和测度，那是不可能的，应当信受；第四，这些声闻弟子不能得知和测量一切众生所有的行为和行为的果报。舍利弗！你们这些声闻弟子对于这件事不需要思量。为什么呢？舍利弗！如来常说一切众生的行为果报是不可思量的；过去的诸佛、应供、正遍知（佛的称号）已经这样说过众生的业报是不可思量的；未来的诸佛、应供、正遍知也将这样说众生的业报是不可思量的。众生的心信和心的自性也是不可知、不可思量的，这样的道理应当信受！’ ‘舍利弗！你们这些声闻弟子安住于圣种（高尚的品格）的人，
