世中, 若有人得此, 正法堕手者, 是人若精进, 勇猛而发起, 即精进行圆; 由精进成就, 得到于彼岸。 又复末世中, 若有人得此, 正法堕手者, 是人若修定, 住三摩呬多, 即圆满定行; 由定成就故, 得到于彼岸。 又复末世中, 若有人得此, 正法堕手者, 是人若修慧, 解了最胜法, 即圆满胜慧; 由慧成就故, 得到于彼岸。 又复末世中, 若有人得此, 正法堕手者, 能尊重供养; 当知如是人, 名求菩提者, 得近佛菩提, 决定当成就。 八十俱胝佛, 加持此正法; 若得堕手者, 获最上法聚。 若现在佛前, 闻此正法者; 当知如是人, 了知菩萨义。 爱乐佛菩提, 我知如是人, 我见如是人, 我念彼名字, 我及一切佛, 亦共所称赞。 若人闻此法, 不转为他说, 彼生我慢心, 造广大过失; 当知彼等人, 不尊重正法。” 尔时婆罗门白佛言:“善哉世尊!善说此法门,即是菩提义。若人于现世中,爱乐了知如是义者,是人不久于此世间得大勇猛,未来世中善说胜法安住菩提,广为多人作大利益。”佛言:“婆 现代汉语译本 世尊,如果有人得到这正法,即使只是短暂地接触到,这个人如果能够精进、勇猛地发起修行,就能圆满精进行;通过精进的成就,就能到达彼岸(涅槃)。 又在末法时代,如果有人得到这正法,即使只是短暂地接触到,这个人如果修习禅定,安住于三摩呬多(Samahita,专注的状态),就能圆满禅定之行;通过禅定的成就,就能到达彼岸(涅槃)。 又在末法时代,如果有人得到这正法,即使只是短暂地接触到,这个人如果修习智慧,理解最殊胜的佛法,就能圆满殊胜的智慧;通过智慧的成就,就能到达彼岸(涅槃)。 又在末法时代,如果有人得到这正法,即使只是短暂地接触到,能够尊重并供养它;应当知道这样的人,被称为追求菩提(Bodhi,觉悟)的人,能够接近佛的菩提(Bodhi,觉悟),必定能够成就。 八十俱胝(Koti,一俱胝等于一千万)的佛,加持这正法;如果有人能够接触到它,就能获得最上乘的佛法聚集。 如果在现在的佛前,听到这正法;应当知道这样的人,了解菩萨(Bodhisattva)的意义。 如果有人喜爱并追求佛的菩提(Bodhi,觉悟),我知道这样的人,我见到这样的人,我忆念他们的名字,我和一切诸佛,都会共同称赞他们。 如果有人听到这佛法,却不把它转告给他人,这个人如果生起我慢之心,就会造下广大的过失;应当知道这样的人,是不尊重正法的。 这时,婆罗门(Brahmin)对佛说:‘太好了,世尊!您善于解说这个法门,它就是菩提(Bodhi,觉悟)的意义。如果有人在现世中,喜爱并了解这样的意义,这个人不久就能在这个世间获得大勇猛,未来世中善于解说殊胜的佛法,安住在菩提(Bodhi,觉悟)之中,为很多人带来大利益。’佛说:‘婆罗门(Brahmin),确实像你说的那样。’

English version In the world, if someone obtains this, if the True Dharma falls into their hands, and if this person is diligent, courageous, and initiates practice, then their diligence will be perfected; through the accomplishment of diligence, they will reach the other shore (Nirvana). Moreover, in the degenerate age, if someone obtains this, if the True Dharma falls into their hands, and if this person cultivates meditation, abiding in Samahita (a state of concentration), then their practice of meditation will be perfected; through the accomplishment of meditation, they will reach the other shore (Nirvana). Moreover, in the degenerate age, if someone obtains this, if the True Dharma falls into their hands, and if this person cultivates wisdom, understanding the most supreme Dharma, then their supreme wisdom will be perfected; through the accomplishment of wisdom, they will reach the other shore (Nirvana). Moreover, in the degenerate age, if someone obtains this, if the True Dharma falls into their hands, and is able to respect and make offerings to it; know that such a person is called a seeker of Bodhi (Enlightenment), and will draw near to the Bodhi (Enlightenment) of the Buddha, and will surely achieve it. Eighty Koti (a Koti is equal to ten million) Buddhas bless this True Dharma; if someone obtains it, they will obtain the most supreme Dharma collection. If, in the presence of the current Buddha, someone hears this True Dharma; know that such a person understands the meaning of a Bodhisattva. If someone loves and seeks the Bodhi (Enlightenment) of the Buddha, I know such a person, I see such a person, I remember their name, and I and all the Buddhas will together praise them. If someone hears this Dharma but does not pass it on to others, and if they give rise to arrogance, they will create vast faults; know that such people do not respect the True Dharma. At that time, the Brahmin said to the Buddha: 'Excellent, World Honored One! You have skillfully explained this Dharma gate, which is the meaning of Bodhi (Enlightenment). If someone in this present life loves and understands such a meaning, this person will soon gain great courage in this world, and in future lives will skillfully explain the supreme Dharma, abide in Bodhi (Enlightenment), and bring great benefit to many people.' The Buddha said: 'Brahmin, it is indeed as you say.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

罗门!汝今已能得正智慧,能说如是利益语言。婆罗门!若有人今于我前闻是法已,我涅盘后于末世中,若能于此正法,书持、读诵者,当知是人爱乐圣道发菩提心。婆罗门!我于往昔求菩提时,于一阿兰若处遇一苾刍宣说此法,我当暂得闻是法时,涕泪悲泣即自思惟:‘我宿世中以何业障,于此正法先不得闻?’作是念已,即取抟食施彼苾刍,后复白言:‘如所闻法我不能知,我今乐闻,愿为广说。’时彼苾刍如其所应为我宣说。婆罗门!我于尔时闻是法已即发愿言:‘愿我当来以此正法,于末世中加持护念,广为众生宣布演说。’婆罗门!我时又念:‘今此正法我于何时能为众生如应宣说?后末世中诸众生类,少能于此爱乐修习。’后彼彼时,此法在世佛不现前,我于是事深生悲愍。婆罗门!我当作是念时,有佛名无量光,发如是言:‘以愿力故果报成就。’婆罗门!以是义故,我所悲愍一切众生,积集痴暗受轮回怖。后末世中有诸苾刍,于此正法起厌离心,毁坏禁戒作不律仪,以是缘故,不能宣通如是正法。是故婆罗门!我为利益诸众生故广说此经。 “汝应当知,今此正法是广大法门,总摄四种阿含。何等为四?所谓:杂阿含、长阿含、中阿含、增一阿含。如是等总摄一切声闻藏法,诸声闻人若于是中 现代汉语译本: 婆罗门!你现在已经能够获得真正的智慧,能够说出这样有益的话语。婆罗门!如果有人现在在我面前听闻了这个佛法,我涅槃之后在末法时代中,如果能够对此正法进行书写、受持、读诵,应当知道这个人是喜爱圣道并发菩提心的人。婆罗门!我在过去求菩提的时候,在一个阿兰若(寂静处)遇到一位比丘(出家修行的男子)宣说此法,我当时稍微听到这个佛法的时候,就涕泪悲泣,并且自己思惟:‘我宿世之中因为什么样的业障,以至于对此正法先前不能听闻?’这样想了之后,就拿自己的食物供养那位比丘,后来又禀告说:‘像您所听闻的佛法我不能理解,我现在喜欢听闻,希望您能为我详细解说。’当时那位比丘就按照他所理解的为我宣说。婆罗门!我在那时听闻这个佛法之后就发愿说:‘愿我将来能够用这个正法,在末法时代中加以护持和忆念,广泛地为众生宣布和演说。’婆罗门!我当时又想:‘现在这个正法我什么时候才能为众生如理如实地宣说呢?在后来的末法时代中,很少有人能够对此喜爱和修习。’在那些时候,这个佛法存在于世,但是佛陀没有显现于世,我因此事深深地感到悲悯。婆罗门!我当这样想的时候,有一尊佛名为无量光佛,发出这样的声音:‘因为你的愿力,果报将会成就。’婆罗门!因为这个缘故,我所悲悯一切众生,积聚愚痴和黑暗,承受轮回的恐怖。在后来的末法时代中,有一些比丘,对于这个正法生起厌离之心,毁坏戒律,做出不如法的事情,因为这个缘故,不能宣扬流通这样的正法。所以婆罗门!为了利益一切众生,我广泛地宣说这部经。 你应该知道,现在这个正法是广大的法门,总摄了四种阿含(佛教经典)。哪四种呢?就是:杂阿含(综合的阿含)、长阿含(较长的阿含)、中阿含(中等的阿含)、增一阿含(逐渐增加的阿含)。像这些总摄了一切声闻藏法(小乘佛法),各位声闻人如果在这里面

English version: Brahman! Now you have been able to attain true wisdom and are able to speak such beneficial words. Brahman! If someone now hears this Dharma before me, and after my Nirvana, in the degenerate age, if they can write, uphold, and recite this true Dharma, know that this person loves the holy path and has aroused the Bodhi mind. Brahman! When I was seeking Bodhi in the past, in a certain Aranya (quiet place), I encountered a Bhikshu (monk) proclaiming this Dharma. When I briefly heard this Dharma, I wept with tears and thought to myself: 'What karmic obstacles from my past lives have caused me to be unable to hear this true Dharma earlier?' After thinking this, I took my own food and offered it to that Bhikshu, and then reported: 'I cannot understand the Dharma that you have heard. I now like to hear it, and I hope you can explain it in detail for me.' At that time, that Bhikshu explained it to me as he understood it. Brahman! At that time, after hearing this Dharma, I made a vow: 'May I use this true Dharma in the future, in the degenerate age, to bless, protect, and remember, and widely proclaim and expound it for all beings.' Brahman! I then thought: 'When will I be able to proclaim this true Dharma to all beings as it should be? In the later degenerate age, few people will be able to love and practice this.' In those times, this Dharma existed in the world, but the Buddha did not appear in the world, and I felt deep compassion for this matter. Brahman! When I thought this, there was a Buddha named Amitabha (Immeasurable Light), who uttered these words: 'Because of your vow, the fruition will be achieved.' Brahman! For this reason, I have compassion for all beings, who accumulate ignorance and darkness and endure the fear of Samsara (reincarnation). In the later degenerate age, there will be some Bhikshus who will develop aversion to this true Dharma, destroy the precepts, and commit unrighteous deeds. For this reason, they will not be able to propagate and circulate this true Dharma. Therefore, Brahman! For the benefit of all beings, I widely proclaim this Sutra. You should know that this true Dharma is a vast Dharma gate, which encompasses the four Agamas (Buddhist scriptures). What are the four? They are: Samyukta Agama (Miscellaneous Agama), Dirgha Agama (Long Agama), Madhyama Agama (Middle Agama), and Ekottara Agama (Increasing by One Agama). Like these, they encompass all the Sravaka Pitaka (Theravada Buddhist teachings). If the Sravakas (disciples) are in this --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

修学者即为声闻藏,而能出生声闻乘果,亦摄声闻菩提分法。又此经中摄彼一切最上所说菩萨藏法,是故得名诸法之母,所有毗奈耶藏、阿毗达磨藏亦于此经摄,乃至八万四千法蕴,一一皆从此经中出。又此经法是即一切智智最上根本,而复出生声闻、缘觉之智,广大甚深不可思议,是大光明普照三有,此即从一切智根本出生诸佛菩提,所有布施功德、持戒、忍辱、精进、禅定、智慧及彼最胜解脱。如是等众功德藏、悉于此经如理宣说。又复苦、集、灭、道四圣谛法,而亦于此经中演说。以要言之,此经总说:诸行无常、诸法无我、涅盘寂静。以是义故,若声闻乘、若缘觉乘、若大乘法,随其所应是中广说。又此经者于诸法中,广大称赞彼菩提心,是故此经最上最胜。婆罗门!若有人现见诸佛亲闻是法者,当知是人已从先佛闻《宝严经》,于彼经中已闻此法,是故当知今此经法,于三世中曾无断绝,彼彼众生随应得闻。” 尔时婆罗门白佛言:“希有世尊!佛所说法最上甚深,若诸无智众生,得闻如是无量功德藏最上正法,不能深生爱乐心者,是人于阿耨多罗三藐三菩提当以何缘而能成就?又复世尊!何因缘故多有众生于此大乘最上法中心生疑惑?” 佛言:“婆罗门!汝今当知,此三千大千世界中,有 现代汉语译本:修习者如果研习声闻藏(Śrāvakapiṭaka,小乘经典),就能证得声闻乘的果位,并且包含声闻菩提分法。而且,这部经中也包含了所有最上乘的菩萨藏法(Bodhisattvapiṭaka,菩萨的经典),所以被称为诸法之母。所有的毗奈耶藏(Vinayapiṭaka,戒律藏)、阿毗达磨藏(Abhidharmapiṭaka,论藏)也包含在这部经中,乃至八万四千法蕴,都是从此经中产生。这部经的法义是一切智智(sarvākāra-jñatā,对一切事物、一切道理的智慧)最根本的基础,并且能生出声闻、缘觉的智慧,广大深奥不可思议,像大光明一样普照三有(欲界、色界、无色界)。这就是从一切智的根本中产生诸佛的菩提(bodhi,觉悟),所有的布施功德、持戒、忍辱、精进、禅定、智慧以及最殊胜的解脱,这些功德宝藏都在这部经中如理宣说。此外,苦、集、灭、道四圣谛法,也在这部经中阐述。总而言之,这部经总括地说:诸行无常、诸法无我、涅盘寂静。因此,无论是声闻乘、缘觉乘还是大乘法,都根据各自的根器在这部经中广泛阐述。而且,这部经在诸法中,极力称赞菩提心(bodhicitta,追求觉悟的心),所以这部经是最上最殊胜的。婆罗门!如果有人亲眼见到诸佛,亲耳听到这部经,应当知道这个人过去已经从先前的佛那里听过《宝严经》(Ratna-vyūha-sūtra),在那部经中已经听过这些法义,所以应当知道这部经的法义,在过去、现在、未来三世中从未断绝,不同的众生根据各自的因缘都能听闻到。 当时,婆罗门对佛说:‘希有啊,世尊!佛所说的法最上最深奥,如果那些没有智慧的众生,听闻到这样无量功德藏的最上正法,却不能深深地生起喜爱和信乐之心,那么这些人要通过什么因缘才能成就阿耨多罗三藐三菩提(anuttarā-samyak-saṃbodhi,无上正等正觉)呢?还有,世尊!是什么原因导致很多众生对这大乘最上法心生疑惑呢?’ 佛说:‘婆罗门!你现在应当知道,在这三千大千世界中,有……’
