English version: Thus have I heard. At one time, the Bhagavan (Blessed One) was in the Bamboo Grove Monastery, at the Kalandaka Fishpond in Rājagṛha (Royal City), together with five hundred great bhikṣus (monks). There were also twelve hundred bodhisattva-mahāsattvas (great bodhisattvas), all of whom had attained dhāraṇī (retentive memory) eloquence without obstruction, acquired undefiled wisdom, roamed in unobstructed realms, were skilled in expedient means to guide sentient beings, observed the world with equanimity, possessed pure intentions of beneficence and compassion, and were able to inquire about the profound and subtle Dharma of all the Buddhas. Their names were: Maitreya bodhisattva-mahāsattva (the bodhisattva Maitreya), the bodhisattva-mahāsattva Constant Diligence, the bodhisattva-mahāsattva Equal Abiding, the bodhisattva-mahāsattva Great Wisdom, the bodhisattva-mahāsattva Boundless Eloquence, the bodhisattva-mahāsattva Courageous Wisdom, Avalokiteśvara bodhisattva-mahāsattva (the bodhisattva Avalokiteśvara), the bodhisattva-mahāsattva Remover of Doubts, and so on, these great bodhisattva-mahāsattvas being the foremost. Also present were the Śakra (Lord Śakra), Brahmā (Lord Brahmā), the Four Guardian Kings of the World (Lokapālas), the nāgas (dragons) and other beings of the eight classes, as well as six thousand non-Buddhist practitioners, each with their retinues, all gathered together. These assemblies all came to the Buddha's abode, bowed at the Buddha's feet, circumambulated the Buddha three times to the right, and rained down wondrous celestial flowers, played celestial music, and burned various precious incenses as offerings. At that time, the assemblies all said: 'Excellent! Excellent! The Tathāgata's teachings possess great power and virtue, and those who take refuge in them can cut off afflictions.' After saying these words, they each sat to one side. At this time, the World-Honored One entered the samādhi (meditative absorption) of cutting off delusion and being free from defilement. Upon entering this samādhi, the earth immediately quaked in six ways, and fine, subtle sandalwood (candana) powder and wondrous celestial flowers rained down, spreading everywhere. Great light was emitted, illuminating the entire world. Those sentient beings who had fallen into evil destinies were liberated by the light. The light also illuminated all the palaces inhabited by the nāgas (dragons), yakṣas (demons), and other beings of the eight classes, leaving none unilluminated. They heard celestial music and smelled celestial fragrances. Upon seeing these inconceivable and rare events, the gods all had this thought: 'Who has created such extraordinary divine power?' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

。令地大动雨天香花。放大光明照耀宫室。作是念已互相告曰。此是如来现大威德。非余天等能有斯瑞。我等今者应往竹园。诣世尊所礼拜供养听闻妙法。彼各持大嗢钵罗花拘物头花分陀利花苏健提花。曼陀罗华摩诃曼陀罗华。至世尊所顶礼双足。而为供养雨众天华。弥满大地积至于膝。瞻仰尊颜合掌恭敬复有他方无量菩萨。及执金刚菩萨庄严王菩萨。并万亿诸天持咒神王。见大光明各以威力。作妙庄严香华音乐。来至佛所。并诸眷属皆绕三匝。虔诚合掌礼佛双足为供养已。皆具威仪退坐一面。   尔时慈氏等诸大菩萨。见诸大众皆云集已。作如是念我观大众咸至佛所。必当演说不可思议殊妙之法。咸皆寂虑伫听微言。是时世尊知诸菩萨一切大众心之所念。即从定起告庄严王菩萨言。善男子汝今宜去观此大地。何所见耶。时庄严王菩萨承佛教已。从座而起即观大地。既遍观已还至佛所。礼佛双足在一面立。白佛言世尊。我奉佛教观此大地。所有人天一切大众普皆云集唯愿慈悲为诸众生作饶益事。   尔时佛告庄严王菩萨言。汝当一心听我所说我今当与六十四亿有缘众生。授无上菩提记。尔时执金刚菩萨即从座起。合掌向佛白言世尊。今有无量亿数天龙药叉及诸罗刹乾闼婆阿苏罗揭噜荼紧那罗莫呼洛伽人。及非 于是,地面震动,空中降下芬芳的花朵。放出巨大的光明,照耀着宫殿和房屋。他们心中这样想着,互相告知说:‘这是如来(Tathagata,佛的称号之一)显现大威德,不是其他天神等能够有这样的祥瑞。我们现在应该前往竹园,到世尊(Lokasenna,佛的称号之一)那里礼拜供养,听闻微妙的佛法。’他们各自拿着大的嗢钵罗花(utpala,蓝色莲花),拘物头花(kumuda,白色睡莲),分陀利花(pundarika,白色莲花),苏健提花(sugandhika,香花),曼陀罗华(mandarava,天界的红色花),摩诃曼陀罗华(mahamandarava,大曼陀罗花),来到世尊处,顶礼佛的双足,作为供养,像下雨一样散布各种天花,弥漫大地,堆积到膝盖的高度。他们瞻仰着佛的尊容,合掌恭敬。又有其他方无量的菩萨,以及执金刚菩萨(Vajrapani,手持金刚杵的菩萨),庄严王菩萨(Vyuharaja,以庄严著称的菩萨),以及万亿诸天持咒神王,见到大光明,各自以威力,制造美妙的庄严、香花和音乐,来到佛的处所。连同他们的眷属,都绕佛三圈,虔诚地合掌礼拜佛的双足,作为供养之后,都具足威仪地退到一旁坐下。 这时,慈氏菩萨(Maitreya,弥勒菩萨)等诸大菩萨,见到大众都云集完毕,心中这样想着:‘我观察大众都来到佛的处所,佛必定会演说不可思议的殊妙佛法。’大家都寂静地思考,等待听闻佛的微妙言语。这时,世尊知道诸菩萨和一切大众心中所想,就从禅定中起身,告诉庄严王菩萨说:‘善男子,你现在应该去观察这大地,看到了什么?’当时,庄严王菩萨接受佛的教诲后,从座位上起身,立即观察大地。已经普遍观察完毕后,回到佛的处所,礼拜佛的双足,在一旁站立。禀告佛说:‘世尊,我奉佛的教诲观察这大地,所有的人天和一切大众都普遍云集,唯愿您慈悲,为诸众生做饶益的事情。’ 这时,佛告诉庄严王菩萨说:‘你应该一心听我所说,我现在将为六十四亿有缘的众生,授无上菩提的记别(vyakarana,预言未来成佛)。’这时,执金刚菩萨立即从座位上起身,合掌向佛禀告说:‘世尊,现在有无量亿数的天龙(naga,守护佛法的神),药叉(yaksa,夜叉,一种鬼神),以及诸罗刹(raksasa,罗刹,恶鬼),乾闼婆(gandharva,香神),阿苏罗(asura,阿修罗,一种好战的神),揭噜荼(garuda,迦楼罗,一种大鸟),紧那罗(kinnara,歌神),莫呼洛伽(mahoraga,蟒神),人和非人(amanussa,非人)等。’

Then, the earth shook greatly, and fragrant flowers rained down from the sky. Great light was emitted, illuminating palaces and houses. Having thought thus, they told each other, 'This is the Tathagata (one of the titles of the Buddha) manifesting great power and virtue; no other gods or beings could have such auspicious signs. We should now go to the Bamboo Grove, to the World Honored One (Lokasenna, one of the titles of the Buddha) to pay homage, make offerings, and listen to the wonderful Dharma.' They each held large utpala flowers (utpala, blue lotus), kumuda flowers (kumuda, white water lily), pundarika flowers (pundarika, white lotus), sugandhika flowers (sugandhika, fragrant flower), mandarava flowers (mandarava, celestial red flower), and mahamandarava flowers (mahamandarava, great mandarava flower), and went to the World Honored One, prostrated at his feet, and made offerings, raining down various celestial flowers, filling the earth and piling up to the knees. They gazed upon the Venerable One's face, joined their palms respectfully. Moreover, countless Bodhisattvas from other directions, as well as Vajrapani Bodhisattva (Vajrapani, Bodhisattva holding a vajra), Vyuharaja Bodhisattva (Vyuharaja, Bodhisattva known for adornment), and billions of gods and mantra-holding spirit kings, seeing the great light, each used their power to create wonderful adornments, fragrant flowers, and music, and came to the Buddha's place. Together with their retinues, they all circumambulated the Buddha three times, sincerely joined their palms, prostrated at the Buddha's feet as offerings, and then respectfully withdrew and sat to one side. At that time, Maitreya Bodhisattva (Maitreya, the future Buddha) and other great Bodhisattvas, seeing that the assembly had all gathered, thought thus: 'I observe that the assembly has all come to the Buddha's place, the Buddha will surely expound the inconceivable and wonderful Dharma.' Everyone silently contemplated, waiting to hear the Buddha's subtle words. At that time, the World Honored One, knowing the thoughts in the minds of all the Bodhisattvas and the entire assembly, arose from samadhi and said to Vyuharaja Bodhisattva: 'Good man, you should now go and observe this earth. What do you see?' At that time, Vyuharaja Bodhisattva, having received the Buddha's teaching, arose from his seat and immediately observed the earth. Having completed the universal observation, he returned to the Buddha's place, prostrated at the Buddha's feet, and stood to one side. He reported to the Buddha, saying: 'World Honored One, I have observed this earth according to the Buddha's teaching. All the humans, gods, and the entire assembly have universally gathered. May you be compassionate and do beneficial things for all beings.' At that time, the Buddha said to Vyuharaja Bodhisattva: 'You should listen attentively to what I say. I will now bestow predictions of unsurpassed Bodhi (vyakarana, prediction of future Buddhahood) upon sixty-four billion sentient beings who have affinities.' At that time, Vajrapani Bodhisattva immediately arose from his seat, joined his palms towards the Buddha, and reported, saying: 'World Honored One, there are now countless billions of nagas (naga, deities protecting the Dharma), yakshas (yaksa, a type of spirit), as well as rakshasas (raksasa, a type of demon), gandharvas (gandharva, celestial musicians), asuras (asura, a type of warring deity), garudas (garuda, a large bird), kinnaras (kinnara, celestial musicians), mahoragas (mahoraga, serpent deities), humans, and non-humans (amanussa, non-human beings).' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

人并诸外道。悉皆来集世尊今正是时。唯愿为说一切法功德庄严王经能销一切业障。能灭一切罪苦。能断一切魔业。未信有情令生敬信。除去饥馑常得丰乐。销诸疾病远离抂死。亦令有情永除追悔。悉得安隐常受快乐。世尊我往昔时曾于电光佛所听受此经。才得闻已一切妙法皆得现前。一切恶道悉皆关闭所有业障咸得销除。唯愿慈悲为众演说。作是语已世尊默然。   尔时执金刚菩萨。亦复如是再三殷勤劝请为说。佛告执金刚菩萨言。善男子汝勿请我说一切法功德庄严王经。何以故我若说者。于后恶世当有众生。不能信受作如是语。此经非是如来所说。亦非赞毁此经。能招善恶二种之业然彼众生为悭贪故。不能恭敬供养是经。于说法师亦不亲近。谤毁是经广兴不信。于现世中造众恶业。未来之世堕地狱中受烧然苦。善男子如此经王。深可尊重犹如父母。复能灭除诸恶业障。然于五浊恶世。非是说时亦非听时。何以故勿当令彼一切外道及诸有情。堕于地狱饿鬼傍生长受诸苦。然此众生信心阙少。乐着诸欲勤营俗务贩卖诤讼。于此经典必起谤心。此等众生命终之后。堕八大地狱当受极苦。   尔时众中有八万人。俱从坐起顶礼佛足。白佛言世尊。我等深心信是经典。尊重供养书写读诵广为他说。若有愚人不信此法 现代汉语译本:人和所有外道都聚集到世尊这里,现在正是时候。 唯愿世尊为我们宣说《一切法功德庄严王经》,此经能够消除一切业障,灭除一切罪苦,断除一切魔业,使未生信仰的有情生起敬信,除去饥馑,常得丰乐,消除各种疾病,远离横死,也能使有情永远消除追悔,都得到安稳,常受快乐。 世尊,我往昔曾在电光佛(Dian Guang Fo)处听闻过此经,才一听闻,一切妙法都得以显现,一切恶道都得以关闭,所有业障都得以消除。 唯愿世尊慈悲,为大众演说此经。 说完这些话后,世尊保持沉默。 这时,执金刚菩萨(Zhi Jingang Pusa)也同样再三殷勤地劝请世尊宣说此经。 佛告诉执金刚菩萨说:‘善男子,你不要请我说《一切法功德庄严王经》。 为什么呢? 如果我宣说此经,在后世的恶世中,当有众生不能信受,会说这样的话:这部经不是如来说的。 赞扬或诋毁此经,都能招致善恶两种业报。 然而那些众生因为悭吝贪婪的缘故,不能恭敬供养这部经,对于说法师也不亲近,诽谤这部经,广泛地兴起不信。 在现世中造作各种恶业,未来之世会堕入地狱中,遭受烧燃的痛苦。 善男子,这部经王,非常值得尊重,犹如父母一般,又能灭除各种恶业和业障。 然而在五浊恶世中,现在不是宣说此经的时候,也不是听闻此经的时候。 为什么呢? 不要让那些外道和有情,堕入地狱、饿鬼、畜生道中,长久地遭受各种痛苦。 然而这些众生缺少信心,喜欢执着于各种欲望,勤奋地经营世俗事务,贩卖货物,争论诉讼,对于这部经典必定会生起诽谤之心。 这些众生命终之后,会堕入八大地狱,遭受极大的痛苦。’ 这时,大众中有八万人,都从座位上站起来,顶礼佛足,对佛说:‘世尊,我们深深地相信这部经典,尊重供养,书写读诵,广泛地为他人宣说。 如果有愚人不相信此法,
