弥勒菩萨亦受此法,益加恭敬,于斯佛土闻是法者,六十四亿诸天及人,皆发无上正真道意。又七万人,佥复逮得无所从生法忍。万四千比丘意解漏尽,五百比丘尼心亦解脱,二十六载世间人民,远尘离垢诸法眼净。   于是,释迦文佛告弥勒菩萨:“仁当受此经典之要,于后末世少有信者,唯以相付使得广布。”   弥勒白佛:“唯当受之,如圣所教,不敢违命。”   “此经典者,若于后世所流布处,若受持者,德不可量。若有菩萨,供养过去诸灭度佛,又现十方无极圣尊,及诸发意建志学道,方当学者悉令长存。一切声闻并与缘觉及其菩萨,若有一人,于当来世,悉供养此诸如来众,一切施安过去当来今现在佛,等奉无异,福宁多不?”   弥勒白佛:“多矣,世尊!吾闻此喻,其心惘然不识所趣,其数浩浩不可称载,福无限量。”   佛言:“若有菩萨,受是经典,持讽诵读,为他人说,得一反闻而悦信者,福多于彼供养诸佛。”   佛语弥勒:“我今现在、若灭度后,假使女人,闻离意女名德之称、弃诸阴盖菩萨之号、天王如来并此经典,因闻斯经名德变化,竟是一世转女人身得为男子,疾成无上正真之道,为最正觉。未成佛顷,世世所生,常值佛世,弃捐八难诸懅不 现代汉语译本   弥勒菩萨(Maitreya Bodhisattva)也接受了这个法,更加恭敬。在这个佛土中,听到这个法的人,有六十四亿诸天和人,都发起了无上正真道意(Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi-citta)。又有七万人,都获得了无所从生法忍(anutpattika-dharma-kshanti)。一万四千比丘(bhikshu)意解脱,漏尽烦恼,五百比丘尼(bhikshuni)心也得到解脱,二十六年里,世间人民远离尘垢,得到了清净的法眼。   于是,释迦牟尼佛(Shakyamuni Buddha)告诉弥勒菩萨(Maitreya Bodhisattva):“你应该接受这部经典的关键,在后世末法时代,很少有人相信,只有把它交付给值得信任的人,才能广泛传播。”   弥勒(Maitreya)回答佛:“我一定接受它,如佛所教导的,不敢违背您的命令。”   “这部经典,如果在后世流传的地方,如果有人受持它,他的功德不可衡量。如果有菩萨(bodhisattva),供养过去已经灭度的诸佛,以及现在十方无极的圣尊,和那些发心立志学道,将要学习的人,都让他们长久存在。一切声闻(shravaka)和缘觉(pratyekabuddha)以及菩萨(bodhisattva),如果有一个人,在未来世,供养这些如来(tathagata)众,一切施安过去、未来、现在佛,同样地奉献,没有差别,这样的福报难道不多吗?”   弥勒(Maitreya)回答佛:“很多啊,世尊(Bhagavan)!我听到这个比喻,心里茫然不知所措,其数量浩瀚不可称量,福报没有穷尽。”   佛说:“如果有菩萨(bodhisattva),接受这部经典,持诵读,为他人解说,得到一个人稍微听闻而喜悦相信,他的福报多于供养诸佛。”   佛告诉弥勒(Maitreya):“我现在在世,或者灭度后,假使有女人,听到离意女(Vimati-nari)名德的称赞、弃诸阴盖菩萨(Sarva-nivaranaviskambhin Bodhisattva)的称号、天王如来(Devendra-raja Tathagata)以及这部经典,因为听闻这部经的名德变化,竟然在一世中转女人身成为男子,迅速成就无上正真之道(Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi),成为最正觉。未成佛之前,世世所生,常能遇到佛出世,舍弃八难,没有各种恐惧。

English version   Maitreya Bodhisattva also received this Dharma, with increased reverence. In this Buddha-land, those who heard this Dharma, sixty-four billion devas and humans, all generated the unsurpassed, right, and true mind of enlightenment (Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi-citta). Furthermore, seventy thousand people all attained the forbearance of the non-origination of all dharmas (anutpattika-dharma-kshanti). Fourteen thousand bhikshus (monks) attained liberation of mind, with outflows exhausted, and five hundred bhikshunis (nuns) also attained liberation of mind. For twenty-six years, the people of the world were far from dust and defilement, and their Dharma-eyes were purified.   Then, Shakyamuni Buddha said to Maitreya Bodhisattva: 'You should receive the essence of this Sutra. In the future, in the Dharma-ending age, few will believe in it. Only by entrusting it to those who are worthy can it be widely propagated.'   Maitreya replied to the Buddha: 'I will certainly receive it, as the Holy One has taught, and dare not disobey your command.'   'This Sutra, wherever it is propagated in the future, if there are those who receive and uphold it, their merit will be immeasurable. If there are Bodhisattvas who make offerings to all the Buddhas who have passed into extinction in the past, as well as the supreme and limitless Holy Ones in the ten directions now, and all those who have generated the intention and aspiration to learn the Way, and those who are about to learn, may they all long endure. All Shravakas (hearers) and Pratyekabuddhas (solitary realizers), as well as Bodhisattvas, if there is even one person who, in the future, makes offerings to all these Tathagatas (Thus Come Ones), offering peace to all Buddhas of the past, future, and present, offering equally without difference, would this merit be great or not?'   Maitreya replied to the Buddha: 'Very great, World Honored One (Bhagavan)! When I hear this analogy, my mind is bewildered and does not know where to go. Its number is vast and immeasurable, and the merit is inexhaustible.'   The Buddha said: 'If there is a Bodhisattva who receives this Sutra, upholds it, recites it, and explains it to others, and if even one person hears it and rejoices and believes, their merit is greater than making offerings to all the Buddhas.'   The Buddha told Maitreya: 'Whether I am present now or after my extinction, if a woman hears the praise of the name and virtues of Vimati-nari (Doubt-cutting Woman), the title of Sarva-nivaranaviskambhin Bodhisattva (All Hindrance Removing Bodhisattva), Devendra-raja Tathagata (King of Gods Tathagata), and this Sutra, because of hearing the name, virtues, and transformations of this Sutra, she will, in one lifetime, transform from a woman's body into a man's body, and quickly attain the unsurpassed, right, and true Way (Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi), becoming the most perfectly enlightened one. Before becoming a Buddha, in every lifetime, she will always encounter the Buddhas appearing in the world, abandon the eight difficulties, and be without all fears. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

闲,常识宿命,逮得总持,三十二相庄严其身,所在游居不更胞胎,常得化生。所以者何?诸大正士威神广大不可称计,若有女人得闻其名,然后亦当逮得如此功勋。”   佛说如是,弥勒菩萨,诸天、人民、阿须伦闻佛所说,莫不欢喜,稽首礼佛。   诸佛要集经卷下 现代汉语译本: 佛陀开示说:‘如果有人能够清净闲暇,通达常识宿命的道理,获得总持(Dharani,总摄忆持一切法而不忘失的智慧),并且以三十二相(32 major marks,佛陀所具有的三十二种殊胜的身体特征)庄严自身,那么他无论身在何处,都不会再经历胞胎出生,而是常常能够化生(spontaneous birth,无父母而生)。这是什么原因呢?因为这些大正士(great Bodhisattvas,伟大的菩萨)的威神力量广大,不可估量。如果有女人听闻他们的名字,之后也应当能够获得这样的功德。’ 佛陀说完这些话,弥勒菩萨(Maitreya Bodhisattva),以及诸天、人民、阿修罗(Asura,一种非天神)听闻佛陀所说,没有不欢喜的,都叩头顶礼佛陀。 《诸佛要集经》卷下

English version: The Buddha said, 'If someone can be free from distractions, understand the principle of common-sense destiny, attain Dharani (Dharani, the wisdom of comprehensively remembering and retaining all Dharmas without forgetting), and adorn themselves with the thirty-two major marks (32 major marks, the thirty-two auspicious physical characteristics of the Buddha), then wherever they reside, they will no longer experience birth from the womb, but will often be able to have spontaneous birth (spontaneous birth, birth without parents). What is the reason for this? Because the majestic and divine power of these great Bodhisattvas (great Bodhisattvas, great Bodhisattvas) is vast and immeasurable. If a woman hears their names, then she should also be able to attain such merit.' After the Buddha spoke these words, Maitreya Bodhisattva (Maitreya Bodhisattva), as well as the devas, people, and Asuras (Asura, a type of demigod), upon hearing what the Buddha said, were all delighted and bowed their heads to pay homage to the Buddha.
