### 菩薩念佛三昧經勸持品第十三

> Chapter 13: Exhorting to Uphold

爾時，世尊告不空見：「乃往昔世過阿僧祇阿僧祇無邊大劫，爾時有佛，號寶勝光如來、應、正遍知、明行足、善逝、世間解、無上士、調御丈夫、天人師、佛、世尊，出現於世，無與等者，一切人天所共恭敬，解脫調伏，度生死岸，無上最勝第一世尊，為護一切世間之師，今世、後世皆悉明了，所可說法初、中、後善，其義深遠、其語巧妙，具足清白梵行之相。時寶勝光如來世尊於彼經行，與三萬億百千聲聞，皆住學地，人天恭敬。是寶勝光佛從臥而起，心生念言：『此諸聲聞皆住學地，當隨所樂為說深法，令彼速得盡諸有漏。』」

> At that time, the World-Honored One said to the Venerable Akṣobhya: "In the distant past, countless eons without measure ago, a Buddha named Jeweled Glorious Light appeared in the world. He was an Thus-Come One, Worthy of Offerings, Perfectly Enlightened, Perfect in Knowledge and Conduct, Well-Gone, Knower of the World, Unsurpassed, Tamer of Beings, Teacher of Gods and Humans, Buddha, and World-Honored One. He had no equal, and was revered by all gods and humans. He was liberated, tamed, and had crossed the shore of birth and death. He was the highest, most supreme, and foremost World-Honored One, and was the teacher who protects all beings in the world. He clearly understood the present life and the life to come. The teachings he gave were wholesome in the beginning, middle, and end; their meaning was profound, their expression was skillful, and they fully embodied the pure and noble spiritual life. At that time, the World-Honored One Jeweled Glorious Light was walking in meditation, accompanied by three trillion hundred thousand śrāvakas—all of whom were still in the stage of learning—and was honored by both gods and humans. Then, rising from his rest, the Buddha Jeweled Glorious Light thought to himself: 'These śrāvakas are all in the stage of learning. I should teach them the profound Dharma according to their inclinations, so that they may quickly exhaust all their taints and attain liberation.'"

告不空見：「寶勝光佛即時便現大神通力，令此三千大千世界遍滿其中皆成烟炎。是諸聲聞見此神變不生怖畏，皆大歡喜，譬如比丘得四禪樂。」

> The Buddha told Bu Kong Jian, “At that moment, the Bao Sheng Guang Buddha instantly displayed his great supernatural power, causing the entire universe to be filled with smoke and flames. When those disciples saw this miraculous transformation, they did not feel any fear or dread but were filled with great joy, like a monk experiencing the bliss of the fourth stage of meditation.”

告不空見：「寶勝光佛於夜後分為說法故，即現種種神通變化。時寶勝光佛告諸聲聞：『汝等比丘見此三千大千世界烟炎不耶？』比丘白佛：『唯然，已見。』『比丘當知，有為諸行無常、苦、空，一切諸法皆無有我。所以者何？此身不淨，九孔常流，臭穢充滿。諸行無常，輪轉之法危脆不堅，一念不住。生、老、病、死之所逼切，猶如幻炎、水聚泡沫，無人、無主，猶若草木，甚可患厭，應速遠離。』」

佛告不空見：「是三萬億百千聲聞聞寶勝光佛說是法時，是諸比丘見法、住法，選擇善法，度四顛倒，於佛、法、僧得淨善法，能不信他，皆得漏盡。時諸聲聞同聲白佛：『如是。世尊！有為諸行無常、苦、空，一切諸法皆悉無我。此身不淨，九孔流溢，甚可厭惡，應速捨離。誠如聖教，誠如聖教。』

> The Buddha said to Unmoving Vision, “When those three trillion hundred thousand hearers heard the Buddha Precious Victory Light teach this Dharma, those monks saw the Dharma, abided in the Dharma, discerned what is wholesome, and went beyond the four inversions. They attained pure wholesome qualities regarding the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha, and no longer relied on anyone else. They all exhausted their defilements. Then the hearers said in unison to the Buddha: ‘Yes, Blessed One. All conditioned things are impermanent, suffering, and empty. All phenomena are without a self. This body is impure, with nine openings constantly flowing—truly disgusting. It should be quickly abandoned. Just as the noble teaching says, just as the noble teaching says.’”

「又，不空見！有三示現：神通示現、教詔示現、說法示現。時寶勝光佛以此示現如是，調伏諸聲聞眾度三脫門——空、無相、願——及三萬億百千那由他諸菩薩等，皆當得成無上菩提。」

> "And furthermore, Unsurpassed Vision! There are three kinds of manifestations: the manifestation of spiritual powers, the manifestation of teaching and guidance, and the manifestation of preaching the Dharma. At that time, the Buddha Jewellight used these three manifestations in this way to tame and guide the assembly of Hearers, leading them through the three gateways of liberation — Emptiness, Signlessness, and Wishlessness. As for the three trillion, hundred thousand, million, and countless Bodhisattvas, all were to attain unsurpassed enlightenment."

告不空見：「是諸菩薩聞彼世尊說寶三昧，開化人天八萬四千億百千歲。轉法輪已，然後滅度。」

> Guanyin, listen: Those bodhisattvas, upon hearing that world-honored one expound the Precious Samadhi, enlightened humans and celestial beings for eighty-four thousand billion hundred-thousand years. After turning the Dharma wheel, they then entered Parinirvana.

時不空見白佛言：「世尊！彼寶勝光如來出世，調伏聲聞為有幾何？正法、像法住世幾歲？」

爾時，世尊告不空見：「如是三千大千世界一切星宿可知其數，寶勝光佛諸聲聞眾無量無數，不可限量。寶勝光佛般涅槃後，正法住世足八十億那由他歲，像法住世十二億歲。於是中間有佛出世，號曰慈行，壽不可稱量。其佛身長足一由延，國人身量六拘盧舍。蓮花周圓亦復如是，悉以此花遍布大地，一切眾生遊息其上。

> At that time, the World-Honored One said to Unobservant Emptiness: "The number of all the stars in this great universe of three thousand worlds can be counted, but the countless, immeasurable assembly of listeners to the teaching of the Buddha Resplendent Light of Precious Victory cannot be calculated. After the Buddha Resplendent Light of Precious Victory entered nirvana, his authentic teaching remained in the world for a full eighty billion eons, and his semblance teaching remained for twelve billion eons. In the midst of this time, a Buddha appeared in the world, named the Practice of Loving-Kindness. His lifespan was beyond measure. His physical body reached one full league in height, while the people of that land measured six \*krośas\* in stature. The surrounding lotus flowers were just as vast, covering the entire earth, and all sentient beings came and went, taking their rest upon them."

「爾時，世界名多蓮花。其地柔軟，猶如鹿茸，若觸身時，狀若天衣，一切眾生快樂無極。又如自在諸天宮殿，是諸眾生欲度東海，眴頃之間便到彼岸；南、西、北方亦復如是。若有眾生凡欲所之，發心即至。

> At that time, there was a world called "Many Lotuses." Its ground was soft, like deer velvet, and when touched, it felt like heavenly garments. All beings there experienced infinite joy. It resembled the palaces of the self-sufficient heavenly beings. If any being wished to cross the Eastern Sea, they would reach the other shore in the blink of an eye. The same was true for the Southern, Western, and Northern Seas. If any being desired to go anywhere, they would arrive the moment they set their mind to it.

「是寶勝光佛初成道已，時四海內其地縱廣，足八萬億百千那由他。諸聲聞眾悉滿其中，諸阿羅漢皆各一食，唯除阿難、金剛密迹及阿逸多。八十那由他不退菩薩請彼慈行如來世尊為諸菩薩說此三昧。將欲分別顯示之時，一音之中而說偈言：

「『若人勤方便， 求習出家行，競修最勝法， 摧破四魔軍，猶如大象王， 踐踏眾小草。若人欲疾得， 寂定菩提道，為諸眾生故， 修行此三昧。敷演淨妙法， 施彼一切樂，是人則與佛， 同其大悲心。』

「爾時，慈行佛般涅槃後，有一比丘名曰樹王，於正法中廣宣流布是妙經典三昧寶王。有轉輪王號帝幢天，有大威德，政法治世。是王有城名帝幢處，縱廣正等十二由延，城郭、樓觀皆是真金，種種綵畫、眾寶莊嚴。其城四面各有三門，國界嚴飾如善建城。

「又，不空見！時王帝幢於夜後分眠寐之中，有淨居天來至其所，即於夢中而告之曰：『大王當知，有三昧名諸佛所說念佛三昧。若有菩薩修是三昧，恒生淨土，不離見佛，世、出世辯無不具足，必當疾得無上菩提。』時王忽然於夢驚寤，猶見此天故在其前，即白天曰：『誰能受持如是甚深念佛三昧？』天告王曰：『去此不遠有大比丘名曰樹王，常樂受持、讀誦、敷演、如說修行是深三昧。』

「爾時，帝幢從彼天所受此三昧及比丘名，至心憶持，不令忘失。即於晨朝捨四天下、金輪、七寶，及八萬億無數百千宮人、婇女，為求三昧甚深法故，即與眷屬同時捨家，俱共往詣樹王比丘。

「又，不空見！時彼四眾、天龍八部皆共圍遶，有九萬億欲界諸天、八萬那由他諸菩薩等，亦與眷屬恭敬圍遶。樹王比丘時為大眾說此甚深念佛三昧。帝幢大王即至其所，以天真寶散比丘上，五體投地，至心頂禮。復持八萬淨妙金花、天曼陀羅、沈水末香，又以敬心奉散比丘。供養既畢，即與眷屬皆悉出家，被淨法服。為欲修習此三昧故，供養恒沙無量諸佛，與其眷屬求是三昧。八萬四千億那由歲，衣服、飲食及諸珍寶親近供養樹王比丘，常自受持、讀誦、解說、如說修行是妙三昧，亦化一切無量眾生，大悲為心，初無懈惓。

「帝幢菩薩及其眷屬聞樹王師說此妙法，至心受持，未曾暫捨，深生恭敬，恒如佛想，精勤修習，初不休息。樹王比丘皆悉成就彼八萬億百千比丘修菩薩行，住不退地，然後滅度。彼諸眷屬皆亦命過。

「爾時，復有佛出於世，號閻浮幢如來世尊，十號具足。帝幢比丘既值世尊，供養、恭敬，諮稟如是甚深三昧，受持、讀誦、如說修行，饒益一切人天世間，皆得無上菩提大利。帝幢比丘廣宣流布諸佛所說甚深定故，過三千劫當成正覺，又能成就九億百千那由他等無量眷屬，皆悉安住不退菩提。」

爾時，世尊告不空見：「時帝幢王大比丘者豈異人乎？今現成佛，號曰高行如來、世尊、應、正遍知，十號具足。

「又，不空見！汝今當知，以是三昧威神勢力饒益如是無量眾生，以少聞故，常值佛世。又，不空見！若有菩薩少得聞此三昧名故，常值佛世。何況菩薩於今現在若得聞遇此三昧經，受持、讀誦？其福如上已不可量，何況復能廣聞受持、讀誦、解說、如說修行？

「又，不空見！若有菩薩乘於大乘、辟支佛乘，及聲聞乘、人天之乘。若善男子、善女人等或得暫聞是妙三昧，是諸菩薩及善男女皆當疾得無上正覺。又，不空見！是諸人等，譬如有人在閻浮提見彼明相，決定必知日出不久，大光普照，閻浮提人因日光明能得分別青、黃等色。如是，不空見！若有行者略聞諸佛所說三昧，是善男子、善女人等不久當得無上菩提，猶彼明相知日必出。汝當深信此妙三昧，受持憶念，勿生疑惑。

「又，不空見！善男子等，如劫將盡六日出時，一切大地皆成煙焰；七日出時，三千大千世界之中一切洞然。如是，不空見！善男女等學大乘者、有不學者，若得少聞此三昧寶，書、持、讀誦、解說其義，皆當疾得無上菩提。又，不空見！善男子等，譬如掘井，若見淤埿必定知水不復遠也。

「又，不空見！若有菩薩及諸眾生，於佛所說念佛三昧，應當書寫、受持、讀誦、解說其義、如說修行、憶而不忘，是善男子、善女人等不久疾得無上菩提。

「又，不空見！善男子等，譬如有人吞金剛丸，時諸聰慧善男子等必知此人定死不久，以此金剛極難消故。如是，不空見！善男子等，若人於是妙三昧寶受持、讀誦、廣說深義、乃至少聞三昧妙法，此善男子、善女人等不久當得無上菩提。所以者何？諸佛所說念佛三昧如金剛故，過去、未來、現在諸佛、應、正遍知之所宣說、分別選擇、威神守護，令諸行者不失作業。菩薩應當如是修習，恒欲利益一切世間，是名菩薩乘此樂行。如忉利天歡喜之園，若有見者身心踊悅。菩薩如是、得此三昧疾成無上菩提正覺，於所未聞諸章句等，若欲習學得亦不難。妙哉！往古一切諸佛為利益故分別示現，令滿句義，安住法界。諸大菩薩攝持擁護，敷演教化，令樂正道。如是法門次第儀式，菩薩大士皆應當知。

「又，不空見！若有菩薩於此諸佛所說三昧若少聞者，是諸人等皆當疾得無上菩提。又，不空見！是故我今為汝分別開示演說。汝又當知，若得聞此諸佛所說念佛三昧，受持、解說，不久疾得無上正覺菩提之道。是故汝今應當受持、讀誦、修行，乃至書寫，亦當廣為一切四眾，國王、大臣、沙門、婆羅門，及諸異學分別解說。所以者何？此等若聞，當得滿足無上菩提。

「又，不空見！若善男子、善女人等，應當決定至心淨信此深三昧。所以者何？皆是往古一切諸佛之所稱讚。汝今當以不思議意至心憶持，深信此定，精勤修習，令心相續。所以者何？此三昧者，皆是諸佛真實之說。隨順佛說至佛行處，選擇分別佛所證知甚深寶財——諸佛本事、往生因緣、諸佛法藏、究竟秘密、諸佛聖印、如實知性、諸佛真身。

「又，不空見！此三昧者，出生行人無量善根，恒得生於大剎利家、大婆羅門及餘勝家，得大威力，終成菩提。所以者何？諸佛所說念佛三昧甚深妙典，能施眾生不虛果故，亦令行者得無邊福。若有聞者，是人獲得無量無邊阿僧祇等不可思議諸功德聚。

「又，不空見！我今當說譬況之法，成滿此義，如有智人聞譬則解。猶若大施，諸菩薩等常於清旦及以中、晡，日皆三時，如來三昧憶念力故，以諸珍妙、一切雜寶遍滿恒沙大千世界，常以奉施億千恒沙如來世尊及聲聞眾，經百千億那由他等恒河沙劫如是大施，以求阿耨多羅三藐三菩提。」

告不空見：「此大菩薩所得功德寧為多不？」

不空見言：「甚多。世尊！無量無邊，不可思議。」

告不空見：「我當為汝分別解說此施善根。如此諸佛所說三昧，第一真實，佛口所說，若能書寫、受持、讀誦、敷演、分別解說之者，出生無量諸功德聚，比前功德其福甚多。何況聞已勸人受持、廣為四眾分別解說？又，不空見！我今說此功德寶聚不可窮盡。」
