若有诸女人  受持此经者  舍离女人形  转生智男身  得男子身已  即成于菩提  转无上法轮  随意入涅槃  若人持佛名  刀杖不能害  水火不焚漂  县官不能杀  若人持佛名  众魔及波旬  行住坐卧处  不能得其便  若人持佛名  世世所生处  身通游虚空  能至无边刹  面睹于诸佛  能问甚深义  彼等无量佛  即知其心意  为说微妙法  授彼菩提记  得闻授记已  心生大欢喜  即于诸佛教  决定无有疑  彼诸佛世尊  所说甚深法  其人闻法已  受持永不失  于后得成就  六度及诸地  无畏诸力等  众相及诸好  佛刹及众生  任意随所取  生于彼刹中  速能成正觉  转无上法轮  随意入涅槃  若有善男子  及善女人等  受持此经者  如上说功德  若持此经者  谨慎莫放逸  闻如前福业  若满于一劫  若减于一劫  常须勤读诵  不生懈怠心  我敕有如是  此等诸佛者  常住功德藏  虚空云中王  常住于彼处  若人闻佛名  一劫减一劫  闻已生敬心  彼是最健人  亦是大智慧  亦是人中最  亦是健丈夫  于世大名闻  是故我今言  弥勒当听我  有大智慧人  巧 现代汉语译本 如果有女子受持这部经,就能舍弃女人的身体,转生为有智慧的男子之身。得到男子之身后,就能成就菩提(bodhi,觉悟),转动无上的法轮(dharma wheel,佛法),随意进入涅槃(nirvana,寂灭)。 如果有人持念佛的名号,刀和棍棒都不能伤害他,水火不能焚烧和漂流他,官府也不能杀害他。 如果有人持念佛的名号,所有的魔和波旬(Mara,魔王),无论他行走、站立、坐着、躺卧,都不能找到机会加害他。 如果有人持念佛的名号,世世代代所出生的地方,都能拥有神通,在虚空中自由飞行,能够到达无边的佛国刹土。 能够亲眼见到诸佛,能够请问甚深的佛法义理。那些无量的佛,立刻知道他的心意,为他说微妙的佛法,授予他菩提的记别(vyakarana,预言成佛)。 听闻被授予记别后,心中生起极大的欢喜,对于诸佛的教诲,决定不再有任何怀疑。 那些佛世尊所说的甚深佛法,那个人听闻佛法后,受持永不忘失,在以后能够成就六度(paramita,布施、持戒、忍辱、精进、禅定、智慧)和诸地(bhumi,菩萨修行的阶位),无畏、诸力等等,各种妙相和殊胜之处。 对于佛国刹土和众生,任意随心所欲地取用,出生在那些佛国刹土中,迅速能够成就正觉(samyak-sambodhi,完全觉悟)。 转动无上的法轮,随意进入涅槃。 如果有善男子以及善女人等,受持这部经,就像上面所说的功德一样。 如果持这部经的人,谨慎小心不要放逸,听闻像前面所说的福德果报,如果满一个劫(kalpa,极长的时间单位),或者少于一个劫,常常需要勤奋地读诵。 不生起懈怠之心,我敕令有这样的功德。这些诸佛,常住在功德藏中。 虚空云中王,常住在那个地方。如果有人听闻佛的名号,一个劫减少一个劫的罪业。 听闻后生起恭敬心,那是最强健的人,也是有大智慧的人,也是人中最殊胜的,也是健壮的男子,在世间有很大的名声。 所以我现在说,弥勒(Maitreya,未来佛)你应当听我说,有大智慧的人,巧妙地

English version If there are women who uphold this sutra, they will relinquish their female form and be reborn as wise men. Having obtained a male body, they will then achieve bodhi (觉悟), turn the unsurpassed dharma wheel (佛法), and enter nirvana (寂灭) at will. If someone upholds the name of the Buddha, swords and staves cannot harm them, water and fire cannot burn or drown them, and government officials cannot kill them. If someone upholds the name of the Buddha, all demons and Mara (魔王), whether they walk, stand, sit, or lie down, will not be able to find an opportunity to harm them. If someone upholds the name of the Buddha, in every place they are born in lifetime after lifetime, they will possess spiritual powers, freely fly in the sky, and be able to reach boundless Buddha lands. They will be able to see all the Buddhas face to face and ask about profound meanings of the Dharma. Those immeasurable Buddhas will immediately know their intentions, speak subtle Dharma for them, and bestow upon them a prediction of bodhi (vyakarana, 预言成佛). Having heard the prediction, great joy will arise in their hearts, and they will have no more doubts about the teachings of all the Buddhas. The profound Dharma spoken by those Buddha-World Honored Ones, that person, having heard the Dharma, will uphold it and never lose it. In the future, they will be able to accomplish the six perfections (paramita, 布施、持戒、忍辱、精进、禅定、智慧) and the various stages (bhumi, 菩萨修行的阶位), fearlessness, powers, and so on, various excellent marks and superior qualities. Regarding the Buddha lands and sentient beings, they can take and use them at will, being born in those Buddha lands, they can quickly achieve perfect enlightenment (samyak-sambodhi, 完全觉悟). They will turn the unsurpassed dharma wheel and enter nirvana at will. If there are good men and good women who uphold this sutra, they will have the same merits as described above. If those who uphold this sutra are cautious and not lax, having heard of the blessings and rewards mentioned earlier, whether it is a full kalpa (劫, a very long unit of time) or less than a kalpa, they must always diligently recite it. Not giving rise to a lazy mind, I command that there be such merits. These Buddhas always reside in the treasury of merit. The King in the Clouds of Space always resides in that place. If someone hears the name of the Buddha, the karmic debt of one kalpa is reduced. Having heard it and giving rise to a respectful mind, that is the strongest person, also a person of great wisdom, also the most superior among people, also a strong man, with great fame in the world. Therefore, I now say, Maitreya (未来佛), you should listen to me, a person of great wisdom, skillfully
