English version: 'How long has it been since you awakened the supreme and true Bodhi mind? The path of tranquility you practice, the vows you make are so lofty, and your determination is so firm?' The Buddha said, 'It has been immeasurable since she awakened the supreme and true Bodhi mind. She is diligent and hardworking, with faith in her heart, never negligent, practicing generosity, discipline, patience, diligence, concentration, and wisdom, fully equipped with the Buddha's path, and her practice is complete, following the teachings of all Buddhas. She has planted many roots of merit in the past Buddhas, and has made offerings to countless billions of hundreds of thousands of *Gai* (an ancient Chinese numeral unit, equivalent to 10 to the power of 20) great and holy beings.' 'Manjusri! (Manjusri, symbol of wisdom) Now that this woman is arising from *Samadhi* (Samadhi, a state of mental concentration in Buddhism), you can ask her how long it has been since she awakened the Bodhi mind. Then let her leave this place.' Thereupon, Manjusri, hearing the Buddha's instruction, immediately rose from his seat and went to the place where the woman was. With utmost sincerity, he snapped his fingers and made a loud sound, wanting to awaken her from *Samadhi*, but the woman remained silent and unmoved in her *Samadhi*. Manjusri then, like her, transformed into countless bodies and snapped his fingers even louder. The sound of his snapping fingers spread throughout countless worlds in the ten directions, but the woman remained silent and did not awaken from her meditation. At that time, Manjusri, in his original form, with the state of *Samadhi*, manifested great supernatural powers. All beings in the three thousand great thousand worlds, the people of the world, *Devas* (Deva, gods), *Nagas* (Naga, serpent deities in Indian mythology), ghosts and spirits, *Gandharvas* (Gandharva, celestial musicians), etc., numbering billions of hundreds of thousands of *Gai*, all musical instruments played themselves without being struck, and also transformed into various instruments such as zithers, harps, and flutes, simultaneously playing soft music, clear and bright, harmonious and elegant, filled with sounds of compassion. Each instrument emitted countless sounds, resounding throughout the immeasurable worlds in the ten directions, but still could not awaken the woman from *Samadhi*. At that time, beside the Buddhas now present in the ten directions, the attendants each asked the Buddha, 'What is the reason that today there are so many immeasurable musical sounds, clear and harmonious sounds, resounding throughout the Buddha lands? The music is soft, the melody is compassionate, and it is pleasing to all.' At that time, the Buddhas each said to their attendants, 'There is a virtuous man! The *Tathagata* (Tathagata, one of the titles of the Buddha) Heavenly King of the Universal Light World, in his land there is a woman named Liyi, who is on the right side of the Buddha, in the state of perfect *Samadhi* of Universal Moon Free from Defilement Light. There is a *Bodhisattva* named Manjusri, wearing the armor of great virtue, never retreating, wanting to awaken this woman from *Samadhi*, so these musical sounds are felt.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

动如此。诸世间人、天、龙、鬼神、犍沓和等，若干妓乐亿百千垓，俱自然作诸化妓乐，亦复如是不鼓自鸣，欲令斯女从三昧起，不能使兴。以是之故，诸大音乐普遍世间。” 侍者白佛：“至未曾有不可逮及，此女三昧寂然巍巍不可称限，如是比像，若干种乐清和之曲，女续三昧而不兴焉。” 诸佛告曰：“如诸族姓子之所言也，此女三昧不可思议。” 说是语时，十方无量不可计会众生之类，皆发无上正真道意，各歌颂言：“愿令我等逮得如是寂定三昧，如今此女，获致神足无极变化圣通彻畅，如文殊师利。” 时，文殊师利复如其像三昧正受，变三千大千世界，须弥山王、雪山、黑山、目邻山、大目邻山、铁围、大铁围山，展转相搏不能自安。譬如勇士以大势力两掌相拍，亦如大雷其音畅逸无不闻者。须弥、铁围诸山，如是展转相掁各各崩落，诸山躄地其形可畏，斯声甚悲，又彼大声，闻于无量无际世界，其女三昧亦不移兴。 时文殊师利，不近彼女，以权方便两手牵女，欲令起坐，乃动下方恒河沙等诸佛刹土，不能移女大如毛发，亦不能令从三昧兴。加复兴显一切势力，欲举彼女，恒河沙等诸佛刹土皆拔反仰，不能令女从三昧兴。文殊师利截断其女所坐地处，举着右掌掉掷梵 现代汉语译本：就是这样的震动。世间所有的人、天、龙、鬼神、犍沓和（Gandharva，一种天神）等，无数的歌舞伎乐，成千上万亿垓，都自然演奏各种变化的伎乐，也像这样不敲击而自鸣，想要让这位女子从三昧（Samadhi，禅定）中起身，却不能使她动摇。因为这个缘故，各种盛大的音乐遍布世间。 侍者禀告佛陀：‘真是前所未有，无法企及！这位女子的三昧寂静而庄严，无法衡量，像这样，各种清和的乐曲，女子持续在三昧中而不为所动。’ 诸佛告诉他说：‘正如你所说的，这位女子的三昧不可思议。’ 说这些话的时候，十方无量无数的众生，都发起了无上正真道意（Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi-citta，无上正等正觉之心），各自歌颂说：‘愿我们也能获得像这样的寂定三昧，像这位女子一样，获得神通具足、无极变化的圣通，通达无碍，如同文殊师利（Manjushri，智慧的象征）。’ 当时，文殊师利又像先前那样进入三昧正受，变化三千大千世界，须弥山王（Sumeru，宇宙中心）、雪山、黑山、目邻山（Mucalinda，蛇王）、大目邻山、铁围山（Chakravada，环绕世界的山）、大铁围山，辗转相撞，不能自安。譬如勇士用大力气两掌相拍，又像巨大的雷声，声音畅快传遍，没有听不到的。须弥山、铁围山等山，像这样辗转相撞，各自崩塌坠落，诸山倒地，形状可怕，这声音非常悲惨，而且这巨大的声音，传到无量无际的世界，这位女子的三昧也不为所动。 当时文殊师利，不靠近她，用权巧方便，两手拉着女子，想要让她起身，乃至于震动下方恒河沙数那么多的诸佛刹土（Buddha-kshetra，佛的净土），也不能移动女子一根毫毛，也不能让她从三昧中起身。更加显现一切势力，想要举起她，恒河沙数那么多的诸佛刹土都被拔起翻转，也不能让女子从三昧中起身。文殊师利截断了女子所坐的地方，举到右掌上，抛向梵

English version: It moved in such a way. All the people, Devas (gods), Nagas (dragons), demons, Gandharvas (celestial musicians), and others in the world, countless musical instruments, hundreds of thousands of billions of nayutas, all naturally played various transformed musical instruments, also like this, playing without being struck, wanting to make this woman rise from Samadhi (meditative absorption), but could not make her stir. Because of this, all great music pervaded the world. The attendant said to the Buddha: 'It is unprecedented and unattainable! This woman's Samadhi is serene and majestic, immeasurable. Like this, various clear and harmonious melodies, the woman continues in Samadhi without being moved.' The Buddhas said: 'As you have said, this woman's Samadhi is inconceivable.' While speaking these words, countless beings in the ten directions all aroused the mind of Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi (unsurpassed perfect enlightenment), each singing praises: 'May we also attain such serene Samadhi, like this woman, attaining divine powers, infinitely transforming sacred powers, thoroughly penetrating without obstruction, like Manjushri (Bodhisattva of wisdom).' At that time, Manjushri again entered Samadhi as before, transforming the three thousand great thousand worlds, Mount Sumeru (cosmic mountain), the Snow Mountains, Black Mountains, Mucalinda Mountain, Great Mucalinda Mountain, Chakravada (iron ring mountains), Great Chakravada Mountains, colliding with each other, unable to be at peace. It was like a warrior clapping his hands together with great force, or like a great thunder, its sound spreading freely, with none who did not hear it. Mount Sumeru, Chakravada Mountains, and other mountains, colliding with each other in this way, each collapsing and falling, the mountains falling to the ground, their forms terrifying, the sound very sorrowful, and this great sound, heard in immeasurable and boundless worlds, did not move the woman from her Samadhi. At that time, Manjushri, not approaching her, using skillful means, held the woman with both hands, wanting to make her rise, even shaking the Buddha-kshetras (Buddha-fields) as numerous as the sands of the Ganges River below, could not move the woman even a hair's breadth, nor could he make her rise from Samadhi. Further manifesting all his power, wanting to lift her, the Buddha-kshetras as numerous as the sands of the Ganges River were all uprooted and overturned, but he could not make the woman rise from Samadhi. Manjushri cut off the place where the woman was sitting, lifted it onto his right palm, and tossed it towards the Brahma --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

天，复在梵天天上地坐，不能令女从三昧起。 于时文殊复从梵天，举其女身着其右掌，过于东方恒河沙佛土，南方、西方、北方、四维、上下各恒河沙等诸佛刹土，亦复如是。十方刹土众音妓乐悉鸣，诸山崩落音声可畏，雨诸天华，其响畅逸无可为喻，不能令女从三昧兴。 于时文殊，举女投掷遍于十方不能令觉，还安故处，叉手前白天王如来：“唯然，大圣！诸菩萨行至未曾有，不可逮及思惟称量，吾能令变处虚空诸器，起立周旋行来谈语，于今显现无极神足，变化感动诸大声音，崩毁须弥铁围诸山，拔诸佛土移十方界，永不能使从三昧起。吾当谦恭为女作礼，及复余学大士之众，诸族姓子、若族姓女、初发无上正真道意者，以成未成甫欲学者，慕乐如斯无极大慧，亦当归之。所以者何？菩萨所行不可攀喻。” 文殊师利举离意女，至于十方诸佛刹土，周旋往来所感动声，不能令女从三昧兴。当尔之时，开化十方无数众生令发道意，不可限人成众德本。 天王如来报文殊曰：“诚如所云，菩萨大士所被德铠不可思议，一切声闻若与缘觉所不及知，况复凡庶所能逮乎？犹如三千大千世界成为大鼓，别异世界鼓大，亦如其鼓乃尔，广长无量。时彼忽有大丈夫现，其身高大，如三千世界，举一 现代汉语译本：天（Deva），又在梵天天上坐于地上，却不能使离意女（Liyi Woman）从三昧（Samadhi，一种高度集中的冥想状态）中醒来。 当时，文殊（Manjusri，智慧菩萨）又从梵天（Brahma）那里，拿起离意女的身躯放在他的右掌中，经过东方恒河沙数（Ganges river sands，形容极多）的佛土（Buddha-lands），南方、西方、北方、四维（四个角落）、上方和下方，每个方向都经过恒河沙数般的诸佛刹土，情况也是如此。十方刹土（Ten directions of Buddha-lands）的各种音乐和歌舞都响了起来，诸山崩塌，声音可怕，天空中下着各种天花，其响亮而自由的声音无法比喻，但仍然不能使离意女从三昧中醒来。 当时，文殊菩萨举起离意女，投掷到十方（Ten directions）都不能使她觉醒，然后将她放回原来的地方，合掌向天王如来（Deva King Tathagata）禀告说：‘是的，大圣！诸菩萨（Bodhisattvas）的修行达到了前所未有的境界，无法企及，无法思议和衡量。我能使虚空中的各种器物变化，站立、旋转、行走、交谈，现在显现出无极的神足（divine powers），变化和感动各种巨大的声音，崩毁须弥山（Mount Sumeru）和铁围山（Iron Mountains），拔起诸佛土，移动十方世界，但仍然不能使她从三昧中醒来。我应当谦恭地为离意女作礼，以及其余学习的大士（Great beings）们，各种姓的男子、女子，初发无上正真道意（supreme enlightenment）的人，那些已经成就或即将成就，或者刚刚开始学习的人，都会羡慕和乐于这种无极的大智慧，也应当归向她。这是为什么呢？菩萨的修行是无法攀比和比喻的。’ 文殊师利（Manjusri）举起离意女，到达十方诸佛刹土，周旋往来所感动的声音，都不能使离意女从三昧中醒来。当时，开化了十方无数的众生，使他们发起道意（enlightenment），不可限量的人成就了各种功德之本。 天王如来（Deva King Tathagata）告诉文殊（Manjusri）说：‘确实如你所说，菩萨大士（Bodhisattvas）所披戴的功德铠甲是不可思议的，一切声闻（Sravakas，声闻乘的修行者）和缘觉（Pratyekabuddhas，缘觉乘的修行者）都无法知晓，更何况是凡夫俗子所能达到的呢？犹如三千大千世界（Three Thousand Great Thousand Worlds）变成一个大鼓，其他世界的鼓也像这个鼓一样，广阔而长远，无法衡量。这时忽然出现一个大丈夫（great man），他的身高像三千大千世界一样，举起一'
