？’报言：‘众魔！譬如恒边沙，一沙为一佛刹，满其中珍宝持是施与；持是发道意，其所作功德复过于是！如是复次众魔！如恒边沙等世界，一切人皆满其中，施以所安、恭敬承事至千劫中，如是功德福祐持用求道。’魔复问言：‘卿所作功德乃尔！其有索菩萨𡙸处者，其罪云何？’菩萨报言：‘如所说，尔所恒边沙一切人，若有索，凿是人眼皆出之，则作罪如是为多不？’魔报：‘甚多。’菩萨报魔言：‘若牵菩萨者，其罪甚倍多于是，为牵阿耨多罗三耶三菩。’尔时魔众七十二亿那术，以是方便见是变化，皆发阿耨多罗三耶三菩心。 “是时诸发意菩萨，天华、天香、天不饰华、天泽香，皆举持散菩萨上，天上千种诸伎乐持用供养娱乐菩萨，如是音乐声皆说如是：‘疾疾令三界之导师，疾成阿耨多罗三耶三菩阿惟三佛。’作是赞叹已，便见菩萨坐于树下，已得阿耨多罗三耶三菩阿惟三佛。于是更有异百千天子心念：‘如是诸魔众今来到是，不复入三恶道，亦当得脱，便当为阿耨多罗三耶三菩心？’于是无恐惧施言：‘今得佛，是故名无恐惧如来！何以故名？为无恐惧施。’无恐惧与审如是说是名时，诸世界皆闻知佛为得道。” 佛言：“如是目连！彼世无恐惧施如来则我身是！我于彼世界以法而教 现代汉语译本：菩萨回答说：‘众魔！譬如恒河边的沙子那么多，每一粒沙子代表一个佛刹（Buddhakṣetra，佛的国土），用其中充满的珍宝来布施；用这些来发起求道的意愿，其所做的功德还要超过这个！像这样再次告诉众魔！如同恒河边的沙子那么多的世界，所有的人都充满其中，用他们所安身立命的物品、恭敬地侍奉到千劫（kalpa，极长的时间单位）之中，这样的功德福佑用来求道。’魔又问：‘你所做的功德竟然如此之大！那么，如果有索取菩萨修行之处的人，他的罪过又该如何呢？’菩萨回答说：‘就像我所说的，那么多的恒河沙数的人，如果有人索取，挖出这些人的眼睛，那么所造的罪业是不是非常多呢？’魔回答说：‘非常多。’菩萨告诉魔说：‘如果有人牵引菩萨，他的罪过比这还要多很多倍，因为他牵引的是阿耨多罗三耶三菩（anuttarā-samyak-saṃbodhi，无上正等正觉）。’这时，七十二亿那术（nayuta，数量单位）的魔众，因为这种方便法门，见到这种变化，都发起了阿耨多罗三耶三菩心。 ‘这时，那些发愿的菩萨，天上的花、天上的香、天上的不饰之花、天上的泽香，都举起来散在菩萨身上，天上千种的各种伎乐用来供养娱乐菩萨，这样的音乐声都在说：‘快快地让三界的导师，快速成就阿耨多罗三耶三菩阿惟三佛（avaivartika，不退转）。’这样赞叹之后，便看见菩萨坐在树下，已经证得阿耨多罗三耶三菩阿惟三佛。于是更有异样的百千天子心想：‘像这些魔众现在来到这里，不再堕入三恶道，也应当得到解脱，便应当发起阿耨多罗三耶三菩心？’于是无恐惧施言：‘现在成佛，所以名叫无恐惧如来（Tathāgata，如来）！为什么这样命名呢？因为无恐惧施。’无恐惧与审如是说这个名字时，所有世界都知道佛已经得道。’ 佛说：‘像这样目连（Maudgalyāyana，佛陀弟子名）！那个世界的无恐惧施如来就是我的前身！我于那个世界用佛法来教化。

English version: The Bodhisattva replied: 'O demons! Suppose there are sands as numerous as those along the Ganges River, with each grain of sand representing a Buddha-field (Buddhakṣetra, Buddha's land), and one uses the treasures filling them to make offerings; using these to generate the aspiration for enlightenment, the merit one creates would surpass even that! Thus, I say again to you demons! If there were worlds as numerous as the sands of the Ganges River, filled with all people, and one offered them comfort, respect, and service for a thousand kalpas (kalpa, an extremely long unit of time), such merit and blessings would be used to seek enlightenment.' The demon then asked: 'Your merit is so great! Then, what is the sin of someone who demands the place of practice of a Bodhisattva?' The Bodhisattva replied: 'As I said, if there were as many people as the sands of the Ganges River, and someone demanded and gouged out the eyes of these people, would the sin created be very great?' The demon replied: 'Very great.' The Bodhisattva told the demon: 'If someone were to pull a Bodhisattva, their sin would be many times greater than that, because they are pulling one towards anuttarā-samyak-saṃbodhi (anuttarā-samyak-saṃbodhi, unsurpassed, complete and perfect enlightenment).' At that time, seventy-two nayutas (nayuta, a unit of quantity) of demons, through this expedient means, seeing this transformation, all generated the mind for anuttarā-samyak-saṃbodhi. 'At that time, those Bodhisattvas who had generated the aspiration, heavenly flowers, heavenly incense, unadorned heavenly flowers, and fragrant heavenly perfumes, all raised them and scattered them upon the Bodhisattva, and a thousand kinds of heavenly music were used to make offerings and entertain the Bodhisattva, and such musical sounds all said: 'Quickly let the guide of the three realms, quickly attain anuttarā-samyak-saṃbodhi avaivartika (avaivartika, non-retrogression)!' After praising in this way, they saw the Bodhisattva sitting under the tree, having already attained anuttarā-samyak-saṃbodhi avaivartika. Then, even more, hundreds of thousands of different heavenly beings thought: 'Since these demons have now come here, they will no longer fall into the three evil realms, and they should also be liberated, and they should generate the mind for anuttarā-samyak-saṃbodhi?' Then, Fearless Giving said: 'Now becoming a Buddha, therefore he is named Fearless Tathāgata (Tathāgata, Thus Come One)! Why is he named this way? Because of Fearless Giving.' When Fearless Giving truly spoke this name, all the worlds knew that the Buddha had attained enlightenment.' The Buddha said: 'Thus, Maudgalyāyana (Maudgalyāyana, name of a disciple of the Buddha)! The Fearless Giving Tathāgata of that world is my former self! In that world, I taught with the Dharma.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version: Again, countless people all perform meritorious deeds there. Maudgalyayana (目连)! In that four-continent world, there is a tree named Matu-sambinna (末头三被) (in the Jin language: 'this tree'), like honey. Its flowers and fruits are always available and never lacking. The taste of its flowers and fruits is like a hundred flavors of food. If the men and women there desire a flower or a fruit, they can eat it and be secure and full. For seven days, they will not be hungry or emaciated, their appearance will not diminish, and their bodies will be healthy, strong, light, and energetic. After eating it, it is like taking ambrosia; there is no urination, no defecation, and no mucus or saliva. There, no one cultivates fields, no one engages in trade to repay debts. The people of that country all eat these flowers and fruits together. That country initially does not know poverty or wealth; everyone is equal and without difference. Maudgalyayana (目连)! The Tathagata (如来) of that world is me! In that world, I teach with the Dharma (法). Thus, Maudgalyayana (目连)! This is called the Tathagata's (如来) path of spiritual power, the limitless transformation, which all disciples and Pratyekabuddhas (缘一觉) cannot know. 'Furthermore, Maudgalyayana (目连)! In the southwestern direction of this three-thousand great thousand world, seventy thousand four-continent worlds away from this four-continent world, there is a world named Bhisat-bhadra (比实颰填) (in the Jin language: 'receptive'). There are eighty thousand kings, and in each continent, there are eighty thousand cities, and outside the cities, there are eighty thousand villages. The places governed by the eighty thousand kings have eighty thousand cities, and also eighty-four thousand small cities. In each city, village, and small city, there are hundreds of thousands of kotis (拘利), all filled with people. Those kings all uphold the Dharma (法), and they have completely eliminated all unlawful matters. These' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
