悲華經諸菩薩本授記品第四之一
Chapter 4, Part 1: The Predictions of the Bodhisattvas
「爾時,寶藏如來復作是念:『如是等無量眾生,已不退轉於阿耨多羅三藐三菩提,我今當與各各授記,并為示現種種佛土。』爾時,世尊即入三昧,其三昧名不失菩提心。以三昧力故,放大光明,遍照無量無邊世界,皆悉令是轉輪聖王,及無量眾生等,見無邊諸佛世界。爾時,十方無量無邊諸餘世界,其中各各有大菩薩,蒙佛光故,以佛力故,各各悉來至於佛所,以己所得神足變化,供養於佛及比丘僧,頭面禮足,右遶三匝,坐於佛前,欲聽如來為諸菩薩受佛記莂。
At that time, the Thus Come One, Treasury of Jewels, thought: "These countless beings have already reached a state of non-retrogression with regard to Anuttara Samyaksambodhi. Now I should confer upon each of them a prediction of their future enlightenment and also manifest for them various Buddha lands." Then the World-Honored One entered a samadhi called "The Mind of Bodhi Never Lost." Through the power of this samadhi, he emitted brilliant light that illuminated countless worlds without limit, revealing to the Wheel-Turning Holy Kings and all the beings the countless Buddha realms throughout the ten directions. At that moment, in the immeasurable and boundless worlds of the ten directions, there were great bodhisattvas who, receiving the Buddha's light and empowered by the Buddha's power, all came to where the Buddha was. Using their own spiritual powers and transformations, they made offerings to the Buddha and the assembly of monks. They bowed their heads at his feet, circumambulated him three times to the right, and sat before him, desiring to hear the Thus Come One confer predictions of enlightenment upon the bodhisattvas.
「善男子!爾時,寶海梵志復白聖王:『大王!今可先發誓願取妙佛土。』善男子!爾時聖王聞是語已,即起合掌,長跪向佛,前白佛言:『世尊!我今真實欲得菩提,如我先於三月之中以諸所須,供養於佛及比丘僧,如是善根,我今迴向阿耨多羅三藐三菩提,終不願取不淨佛土。世尊!我先已於七歲之中,端坐思惟種種莊嚴清淨佛土。世尊!我今發願:「令我得成阿耨多羅三藐三菩提,時世界之中無有地獄、畜生、餓鬼。一切眾生命終之後,令不墮於三惡道中。世界眾生皆作金色,人天無別,皆得六通:以宿命通,乃至得知百千萬億那由他劫宿世之事;以清淨天眼,悉見百千億那由他十方世界,亦見其中在在處處現在諸佛說微妙法;以清淨天耳,悉聞百千億那由他十方世界現在諸佛說法之聲;以他心智故,知無量無邊億那由他十方世界眾生之心;以如意通故,於一念中,遍於百千億那由他諸佛世界,周旋往返,令是眾生悉解無我及無我所,皆得不退於阿耨多羅三藐三菩提。願我世界無有女人及其名字,一切眾生,等一化生,壽命無量,除其誓願。無有一切不善之名,世界清淨,無有臭穢,常有諸天微妙之香,皆悉充滿。一切眾生皆悉成就三十二相,而各瓔珞。所有菩薩皆是一生,除其誓願。願我世界所有眾生,於一食頃,以佛力故,遍至無量無邊世界,見現在佛,禮拜、圍遶,以其所得神足變化供養於佛,即於食頃還至本土而常講說佛之法藏,身得大力如那羅延。世界所有莊嚴之事,乃至得天眼者不能盡說。所有眾生皆得四辯,一一菩薩所坐之樹,枝葉遍滿一萬由旬。世界常有淨妙光明,悉令他方無量佛土種種莊嚴而於中現。所有眾生乃至成阿耨多羅三藐三菩提,不行不淨,常為其餘一切諸天、人及非人之所恭敬、供養、尊重,乃至成阿耨多羅三藐三菩提。而於其中常得六根清淨,即於生時得無漏喜受於快樂,自然成就一切善根。尋於生時著新袈裟便得三昧,其三昧名善分別,以三昧力,遍至無量諸佛世界,見現在佛,禮拜、圍遶、恭敬、供養、尊重、讚歎,乃至成阿耨多羅三藐三菩提,於此三昧無有退失。所有菩薩如其所願,各自莊嚴修淨妙土,於七寶樹中悉皆遙見諸佛世界一切眾生,尋於生時得遍至三昧,以三昧力故,常見十方無量無邊諸世界中現在諸佛,乃至成阿耨多羅三藐三菩提終不退失。願令我界所有眾生,皆得宮殿、衣服、瓔珞,種種莊嚴,猶如第六化自在天。世界無有山陵、垖阜、大小鐵圍、須彌、大海,亦無陰蓋,及諸障閡、煩惱之聲,無三惡道八難之名、無有受苦之名,及不苦不樂名。」世尊!我今所願如是。欲得如是嚴淨佛土。世尊!我於來世便當久久行菩薩道,要得成就如是清淨佛土。世尊!我於來世作是希有事已,然後乃成阿耨多羅三藐三菩提。世尊!我成阿耨多羅三藐三菩提時,菩提樹縱廣正等一萬由旬。於此樹下坐道場時,於一念中成阿耨多羅三藐三菩提。成阿耨多羅三藐三菩提已,光明照於無量無邊百千億那由他諸佛世界。令我壽命無量無邊百千億那由他劫,無能知者,除一切智。令我世界無有聲聞、辟支佛乘,所有大眾純諸菩薩,無量無邊無能數者,除一切智。願我成阿耨多羅三藐三菩提已,令十方諸佛稱揚讚歎我之名字。願我成阿耨多羅三藐三菩提已,無量無邊阿僧祇餘佛世界,所有眾生聞我名者,修諸善本,欲生我界,願其捨命之後必定得生,惟除五逆、誹謗聖人、廢壞正法。願我成阿耨多羅三藐三菩提已,其餘無量無邊阿僧祇諸佛世界所有眾生,若發阿耨多羅三藐三菩提,修諸菩提,欲生我界者,臨終之時,我時當與大眾圍遶現其人前,其人見我,即於我所,得心歡喜,以見我故,離諸障閡,即便捨身,來生我界。願我成阿耨多羅三藐三菩提已,諸菩薩摩訶薩所未聞法,欲從我聞者,如其所願,悉令得聞。願我成阿耨多羅三藐三菩提已,其餘無量無邊阿僧祇世界,在在處處諸菩薩等,聞我名者,即得不退轉於阿耨多羅三藐三菩提。得第一忍、第二、第三,有願欲得陀羅尼及諸三昧者,如其所願,必定得之,乃至成阿耨多羅三藐三菩提無有退失。我滅度後,過諸算數劫已,有無量無邊阿僧祇世界,其中菩薩聞我名字,心得淨信,第一歡喜,悉禮拜我,歎未曾有:「是佛世尊為菩薩時,已作佛事,久久乃成阿耨多羅三藐三菩提。」彼諸菩薩得最第一信,心歡喜已,必定當得第一初忍、第二、第三。有願欲得陀羅尼門及諸三昧者,如其所願,悉皆得之,乃至成阿耨多羅三藐三菩提,無有退失。我成阿耨多羅三藐三菩提已,其餘無量無邊阿僧祇世界,有諸女人,聞我名者,即得第一信心歡喜,發阿耨多羅三藐三菩提心,乃至成佛,終不復受女人之身。願我滅度已,雖經無量無邊阿僧祇劫,有無量無邊阿僧祇佛剎,其中女人聞我名者,即得第一信心歡喜,發阿耨多羅三藐三菩提心,乃至成佛,終不復受女人之身。世尊!我之所願,如是佛土,如是眾生。世尊!若世界清淨、眾生如是者,然後乃成阿耨多羅三藐三菩提。』
"Good man! At that time, the Brahmin Baohai again said to the holy king, 'Great king, you should now first make a vow to attain a magnificent Buddha land.'
Good man! When the holy king heard this, he immediately rose, joined his palms, knelt upright before the Buddha, and said: 'World-Honored One! I now sincerely wish to attain enlightenment. Just as I spent three months making offerings to the Buddha and the monastic community with all necessities, I now dedicate these virtuous roots toward supreme, perfect enlightenment, and I will never choose an impure Buddha land. World-Honored One! I have already spent seven years in seated meditation, contemplating the various adornments of a pure Buddha land.
World-Honored One! I now make this vow: "When I attain supreme, perfect enlightenment, may there be no hells, no animals, and no hungry ghosts in my world. May no sentient being fall into the three unfortunate realms after death. May all beings in this world be golden in color, with no distinction between humans and gods, and all obtain the six superknowledges: through the divine eye of past lives, may they know events from hundreds of thousands of millions of eons ago; through the pure celestial eye, may they see hundreds of thousands of millions of worlds in the ten directions, and see the present Buddhas in all those places teaching the wonderful Dharma; through the pure celestial ear, may they hear the voices of the present Buddhas teaching the Dharma in hundreds of thousands of millions of worlds in the ten directions; through the knowledge of others' minds, may they know the minds of countless sentient beings in worlds throughout the ten directions; through the power of miraculous travel, may they traverse, in a single thought, hundreds of thousands of millions of Buddha worlds, coming and going, causing all these beings to understand non-self and non-attachment to what belongs to self, and to never regress from supreme, perfect enlightenment.
May my world have no women, nor even the name of woman. May all beings be born by transformation, equal in every way, with immeasurable lifespans, except as their own vows decree. May there be no name for anything unwholesome. May the world be pure, without any foul smell, always filled with the subtle fragrance of the gods. May all beings perfect the thirty-two marks of a great being, each adorned with jeweled necklaces. May all bodhisattvas there be in their final life, except as their own vows decree.
May all beings in my world, within the time of one meal, through the Buddha's power, travel to countless worlds, see the present Buddhas, pay homage, circumambulate them, and with their miraculous powers make offerings to the Buddhas, then return to their own land within the time of one meal, always teaching the Dharma treasury of the Buddha, with bodies as strong as Narayana.
May all the adornments of this world be so magnificent that even those with celestial vision cannot fully describe them. May all beings obtain the four types of eloquence. May the trees under which each bodhisattva sits have branches and leaves spreading over ten thousand yojanas. May the world always have pure, wonderful light, and may the various adornments of countless other Buddha lands be reflected within it.
May all beings, even until they attain supreme, perfect enlightenment, never engage in anything impure, and always be revered, honored, and respected by all gods, humans, and non-humans alike. May they always maintain pure sense faculties from birth, experience the joy of non-outflow bliss at birth, and naturally accomplish all virtuous roots.
May they, at the moment of birth, don new monastic robes and attain a samadhi called 'Skillful Discrimination.' Through the power of this samadhi, may they travel to countless Buddha worlds, see the present Buddhas, pay homage, circumambulate, honor, offer to, and praise them, and even until attaining supreme, perfect enlightenment, never regress from this samadhi.
May all bodhisattvas, according to their own vows, each adorn and cultivate their pure, wonderful lands, and from within jeweled trees, see all sentient beings in the Buddha worlds. May they, at birth, attain the samadhi of universal presence, and through its power, always see the present Buddhas in countless worlds in the ten directions, never regressing until they attain supreme, perfect enlightenment.
May all beings in my world obtain palaces, clothing, and jeweled ornaments, adorned in every way like those in the sixth heaven of transformation. May this world have no mountains, hills, iron encircling mountains, Mount Sumeru, or great oceans. May there be no shadows, no hindrances, no sounds of affliction, no names for the three unfortunate realms or the eight difficult conditions, and no names for suffering or even for neutral feeling."
World-Honored One! This is my wish. I desire such a pure and adorned Buddha land. World-Honored One! In the future, I will practice the bodhisattva path for a very long time, and I will surely accomplish such a pure Buddha land. World-Honored One! After I accomplish such rare deeds in the future, only then will I attain supreme, perfect enlightenment.
World-Honored One! When I attain supreme, perfect enlightenment, may the bodhi tree under which I sit be ten thousand yojanas in width and height. When I sit at the seat of enlightenment beneath this tree, may I attain supreme, perfect enlightenment in a single moment. After attaining enlightenment, may my light shine upon countless, boundless hundreds of thousands of millions of Buddha worlds. May my lifespan be immeasurable, boundless, hundreds of thousands of millions of eons, unknowable to anyone except the all-knowing. May my world have no hearers or solitary realizers, and may the entire assembly be composed solely of bodhisattvas, countless and beyond number, except for the all-knowing.
May all the Buddhas in the ten directions praise and extol my name after I attain supreme, perfect enlightenment. May all beings in countless, boundless other Buddha worlds who hear my name, cultivate virtuous roots, and wish to be born in my world, be assured of rebirth there after death, except for those who commit the five heinous deeds, slander the sages, or destroy the true Dharma.
After I attain supreme, perfect enlightenment, may all beings in countless, boundless other Buddha worlds who have aroused the mind of supreme, perfect enlightenment, cultivated the bodhisattva path, and wish to be born in my world, be met by me at the moment of death, surrounded by a great assembly, appearing before them. When they see me, may they rejoice in their hearts, and because of seeing me, be freed from all hindrances, immediately relinquish their bodies, and be reborn in my world.
After I attain supreme, perfect enlightenment, may bodhisattvas who wish to hear teachings they have not yet heard come to me, and according to their wishes, may they all hear them. After I attain supreme, perfect enlightenment, may bodhisattvas in countless, boundless worlds, in every place, who hear my name, immediately attain non-regression from supreme, perfect enlightenment, obtaining the first, second, and third tolerance. May those who wish to obtain dharani and samadhis obtain them according to their wishes, never regressing until they attain supreme, perfect enlightenment.
After my parinirvana, passing beyond countable eons, may bodhisattvas in countless, boundless worlds who hear my name, gain pure faith and great joy, pay homage to me, and exclaim, "This Buddha, the World-Honored One, performed Buddha deeds as a bodhisattva, and only after a very long time attained supreme, perfect enlightenment." May those bodhisattvas, having gained supreme faith and joyful hearts, be certain to attain the first, second, and third tolerance. May those who wish to obtain the gateway of dharani and various samadhis obtain them according to their wishes, never regressing until they attain supreme, perfect enlightenment.
After I attain supreme, perfect enlightenment, may women in countless, boundless worlds who hear my name, immediately gain supreme faith and joyful hearts, arouse the mind of supreme, perfect enlightenment, and even until attaining Buddhahood, never again receive a woman's body. After my parinirvana, even after countless, boundless eons, may women in countless, boundless Buddha lands who hear my name, immediately gain supreme faith and joyful hearts, arouse the mind of supreme, perfect enlightenment, and even until attaining Buddhahood, never again receive a woman's body.
World-Honored One! This is my wish—such a Buddha land, such sentient beings. World-Honored One! Only when the world is pure and beings are thus, will I then attain supreme, perfect enlightenment.'"
「善男子!爾時,寶藏如來語轉輪王言:『善哉!善哉!大王!今者所願甚深,已取淨土,是中眾生其心亦淨。大王!汝見西方過百千萬億佛土,有世界名尊善無垢,彼界有佛名尊音王如來、應供、正遍知、明行足、善逝、世間解、無上士、調御丈夫、天人師、佛、世尊,今現在為諸菩薩說於正法。彼界無有聲聞、辟支佛名,亦無有說小乘法者,純一大乘清淨無雜。其中眾生等一化生,亦無女人及其名字。彼佛世界所有功德清淨莊嚴,悉如大王所願。無量種種莊嚴佛之世界等無差別,悉已攝取無量無邊調伏眾生。今改汝字為無量清淨。』
"Good man! At that time, the Buddha Treasury Thus Come One said to the wheel-turning king: 'Excellent! Excellent! Great king, your vow is profound indeed. You have already obtained a pure land, and the beings there will also have pure minds. Great king, look to the west, beyond hundreds of thousands of millions of buddha-lands. There is a world called Exalted and Flawless Purity. In that world, there is a buddha named Exalted Sound King Thus Come One, one worthy of offerings, of perfect awakening, endowed with clarity and virtuous conduct, one who goes well, one who understand the world, the unsurpassed one, the tamer of beings, teacher of gods and humans, the Buddha, the World-Honored One, who is now teaching the correct dharma to bodhisattvas. That world has no mention of voice-hearers or solitary realizers, nor any who teach the lesser vehicle. It is purely the great vehicle, pure and unmixed. All beings there are born through transformation, and there are no women or even the name of women. All the merits and pure adornments of that buddha-world are exactly as you have wished. It is no different from countless other adorned buddha-worlds, and you have already embraced and taken in countless beings to be tamed. Now I shall change your name to Infinite Purity.'"
「爾時,世尊便告無量清淨:『彼尊音王佛,過一中劫當般涅槃。般涅槃已,正法住世滿十中劫。正法滅已,過六十中劫。彼土轉名彌樓光明,當有如來出現於世,號不可思議功德王如來、應供、正遍知、明行足、善逝、世間解、無上士、調御丈夫、天人師、佛、世尊,是佛猶如尊音王如來,世界莊嚴,如尊善無垢等無有異。其佛壽命六十中劫。佛滅度已,正法住世六十中劫。正法滅已,過千中劫,是時世界故名尊善無垢,復有佛出號寶光明如來、應供、正遍知、明行足、善逝、世間解、無上士、調御丈夫、天人師、佛、世尊。世界所有、壽命多少、正法住世,亦如不可思議功德王佛等無有異。正法滅已,是時世界轉名善堅,復有佛出,號寶尊音王如來、應供、正遍知、明行足、善逝、世間解、無上士、調御丈夫、天人師、佛、世尊,世界莊嚴如前無異,佛壽三十五中劫。佛滅度後,正法住世滿七中劫,正法滅已,復有無量無邊諸佛次第出世,所有世界壽命正法悉亦如是。我今皆見如是諸佛始初成道及其滅度,是時世界常住不異無有成敗。大王!如是諸佛悉滅度已,復過一恒河沙等阿僧祇劫,入第二恒河沙等阿僧祇劫,是時世界轉名安樂,汝於是時當得作佛,號無量壽如來、應供、正遍知、明行足、善逝、世間解、無上士、調御丈夫、天人師、佛、世尊。』
「是時,聖王聞是語已,前白佛言:『世尊!如是等輩,當成佛者,為在何處?』
「佛告大王:『如是菩薩今在此會,其數無量不可稱計,悉從十方餘佛世界而來集此,供養於我,聽受妙法。是諸菩薩,已從過去諸佛授阿耨多羅三藐三菩提記,復從現在十方諸佛授阿耨多羅三藐三菩提記,是故先成阿耨多羅三藐三菩提。大王!是諸菩薩,已曾供養無量無邊百千萬億那由他佛,種諸善根,修集智慧。大王!以是之故,是諸菩薩在於汝前,成阿耨多羅三藐三菩提。』
「時轉輪王復白佛言:『世尊!是寶海梵志,乃能勸我及諸眷屬發阿耨多羅三藐三菩提心。是梵志於未來世,為經幾時當成阿耨多羅三藐三菩提?』佛告大王:『是梵志成就大悲故,於未來世師子吼時,汝自知之。』時轉輪王復白佛言:『世尊!若我所願成就如佛所記者,我今頭面禮佛,當令十方如恒河沙等世界六種震動,其中諸佛亦當為我授阿耨多羅三藐三菩提記。』
「善男子!爾時,無量淨王作是語已,尋於佛前,頭面著地。爾時,十方如恒河沙等諸佛世界六種震動,是中諸佛即與授記作如是言:『刪提嵐界善持劫中人壽八萬歲,有佛出世號曰寶藏,有轉輪聖王名無量淨,主四天下,三月供養寶藏如來及比丘僧,以是善根故,過一恒河沙等阿僧祇劫已,始入第二恒河沙阿僧祇劫,當得作佛,號無量壽,世界名安樂,常身光照縱廣周匝十方,各如恒河沙等諸佛世界。』
「爾時,寶藏如來即為大王說此偈言:
「『十方世界, 震動大地,
及餘山林, 如恒沙等。
汝今可起, 已得授記,
為天人尊, 勝法調御。』
「善男子!爾時,轉輪聖王聞是偈已,心生歡喜,即起合掌,前禮佛足,去佛不遠,復坐聽法。
「善男子!爾時寶海梵志,復白聖王第一太子言:『善男子!持此寶物,并及先所於三月中供養如來及比丘僧種種珍寶,如是福德和合集聚,迴向阿耨多羅三藐三菩提。』復作是言:『善男子!以此所施,不應求於忉利天王、大梵天王。何以故?今者所有福報之物,皆是無常、無決定相,猶如疾風。是故應當以是布施所得果報,令心自在,速成阿耨多羅三藐三菩提,度脫無量無邊眾生令入涅槃。』
「是時太子聞是語已,答梵志言:『我今觀於地獄眾生多諸苦惱,人天之中或有垢心,以垢心故,數數墮於三惡道中。』復作是念:『是諸眾生以坐親近惡知識故,退失正法墮大闇處,盡諸善根,攝取種種諸邪見等,以覆其心,行於邪道。世尊!今我以大音聲告諸眾生,我之所有一切善根,盡迴向阿耨多羅三藐三菩提。願我行菩薩道時,若有眾生受諸苦惱、恐怖等事,退失正法,墮大闇處,憂愁孤窮、無有救護、無依無舍,若能念我、稱我名字,若其為我天耳所聞、天眼所見,是眾生等,若不得免斯苦惱者,我終不成阿耨多羅三藐三菩提。』復白佛言:『世尊!我今復當為眾生故,發上勝願。世尊!我今若能逮得己利者,願令轉輪聖王,過第一恒沙等阿僧祇劫已,始入第二恒沙等阿僧祇劫,是時世界名曰安樂,大王成佛號無量壽,世界莊嚴眾生清淨,作正法王,是佛世尊於無量劫作佛事已,所作已辦,入無餘涅槃,乃至正法住時,我於其中修菩薩道,即於是時能作佛事;是佛正法於初夜滅,即其後夜,成阿耨多羅三藐三菩提。』復白佛言:『惟願世尊為我授記,今我一心請於十方如恒河沙等現在諸佛,惟願各各為我授記。』
「善男子!爾時,寶藏佛尋為授記:『善男子!汝觀天人及三惡道一切眾生,生大悲心,欲斷眾生諸苦惱故,欲斷眾生諸煩惱故,欲令眾生住安樂故。善男子!今當字汝為觀世音。善男子!汝行菩薩道時,已有百千無量億那由他眾生得離苦惱,汝為菩薩時,已能大作佛事。善男子!無量壽佛般涅槃已,第二恒河沙等阿僧祇劫後分,初夜分中,正法滅盡,夜後分中,彼土轉名一切珍寶所成就世界,所有種種莊嚴無量無邊,安樂世界所不及也。善男子!汝於後夜種種莊嚴,在菩提樹下坐金剛座,於一念中間成阿耨多羅三藐三菩提,號遍出一切光明功德山王如來、應供、正遍知、明行足、善逝、世間解、無上士、調御丈夫、天人師、佛、世尊,其佛壽命九十六億那由他百千劫,般涅槃已,正法住世六十三億劫。』
「爾時,觀世音前白佛言:『若我所願得成就者,我今頭面敬禮佛時,當令十方如恒河沙等諸世界中現在諸佛,亦復各各為我授記,亦令十方如恒河沙等世界大地及諸山河六種震動,出種種音樂,一切眾生心得離欲。』善男子!爾時,觀世音菩薩尋禮寶藏如來,頭面著地。爾時,十方如恒河沙等世界,六種震動,一切山林悉出種種無量音樂,眾生聞已,即得離欲。其中諸佛皆與授記作如是言:『散提嵐界善持劫中,人壽八萬歲,時有佛出世,號曰寶藏,有轉輪聖王名無量淨,主四天下,其王太子名觀世音。三月供養寶藏如來及比丘僧,以是善根故,於第二恒河沙等阿僧祇劫後分之中,當得作佛,號遍出一切光明功德山王如來,世界名曰一切珍寶所成就也。』
「爾時,寶藏如來為觀世音而說偈言:
「『大悲功德, 今應還起,
地六種動, 及諸佛界。
十方諸佛, 已授汝記,
當成為佛, 故應歡喜。』
「善男子!爾時,太子觀世音聞是偈已,心生歡喜,即起合掌,前禮佛足,去佛不遠,復坐聽法。
「善男子!爾時,寶海梵志,復白第二王子尼摩言:『善男子!汝今所作福德清淨之業,為一切眾生得一切智故,應迴向阿耨多羅三藐三菩提。』善男子!爾時,王子在佛前坐,叉手白佛言:『世尊!如我先於三月之中,供養如來及比丘僧,并我所有身口意業清淨之行,如此福德,我今盡以迴向阿耨多羅三藐三菩提。不願不淨穢惡世界,令我國土及菩提樹,如觀世音所有世界種種莊嚴寶菩提樹,及成阿耨多羅三藐三菩提。復願遍出功德光明佛始初成道,我當先請轉於法輪,隨其說法所經時節,於其中間行菩薩道。是佛涅槃後,正法滅已,我於其後次第成於阿耨多羅三藐三菩提。我成佛時,所作佛事,世界所有種種莊嚴,般涅槃後正法住世,如是等事悉如彼佛等無有異。』
「爾時,佛告第二王子:『善男子!汝今所願最大世界,汝於來世當得如是大世界處,如汝所願。善男子!汝於來世當於如是最大世界成阿耨多羅三藐三菩提,號曰善住珍寶山王如來、應供、正遍知、明行足、善逝、世間解、無上士、調御丈夫、天人師、佛、世尊。善男子!由汝願取大世界故,因字汝為得大勢。』爾時,得大勢前白佛言:『世尊!若我所願成就得己利者,我今敬禮於佛,當令十方如恒河沙等諸佛世界六種震動,雨須曼那華,其中現在諸佛各授我記。』
「善男子!爾時,得大勢在於佛前,頭面著地,尋時十方如恒河沙等世界六種震動,天雨須曼那華,其中現在諸佛世尊各與授記。
「爾時,寶藏如來為得大勢而說偈言:
「『堅力功德, 今可還起,
大地震動, 雨須曼華,
十方諸佛, 已授汝記,
當來得成, 人天梵尊。』
「善男子!爾時,得大勢聞是偈已,心生歡喜,即起合掌,前禮佛足,去佛不遠,復坐聽法。
「善男子!爾時寶海梵志,復白第三王子王眾言:『善男子!今汝所作福德之聚清淨之業,應為一切眾生得一切智故,迴向阿耨多羅三藐三菩提。』善男子!爾時,第三王子在佛前坐,叉手白佛言:『世尊!如我先於三月之中,供養如來及比丘僧,并我所有身口意業清淨之行,如是福德,今我盡以迴向阿耨多羅三藐三菩提。我今所願,不能於是不淨世界成阿耨多羅三藐三菩提,亦復不願速成阿耨多羅三藐三菩提。我行菩薩道時,願令我所化十方無量無邊諸佛世界所有眾生,發阿耨多羅三藐三菩提心,安止於阿耨多羅三藐三菩提心,勸化安止於六波羅蜜者,願令先我悉於十方一一方面,如恒河沙佛剎微塵數等諸佛世界成佛說法,令我爾時以清淨天眼悉遍見之。願我為菩薩時,能作如是無量佛事,我於來世行菩薩道無有齊限,我所教化諸眾生等,令其心淨猶如梵天,如是眾生生我界者,爾乃當成阿耨多羅三藐三菩提,以是等清淨莊嚴佛剎。願令三千大千世界恒河沙等十方佛土,為一佛剎,周匝世界有大寶牆七寶填廁,其牆高大至無色界,真紺琉璃以為其地,無諸塵土石沙穢惡荊蕀之屬,又無惡觸,亦無女人及其名字,一切眾生皆悉化生,不食揣食等,以法喜三昧為食,無有聲聞、辟支佛乘,純諸菩薩,離於貪欲瞋恚愚癡,皆修梵行、悉滿其國。當其生已,鬚髮自落,服三法衣,即於生已,便欲得食,尋有寶器,在右手中,自然而有上妙百味具足在鉢。時諸菩薩作是思惟:「我等不應噉是揣食,我今當持至於十方,供養諸佛及聲聞眾,并貧窮者;有諸餓鬼,受饑渴苦其身熾然,當至其所,而給足之;我等自應修行法喜三昧之食。」作是念已,得菩薩三昧,其三昧名不可思議行。得是三昧已,即得無閡神力,到於無量無邊世界現在佛所,供養諸佛及比丘僧,給施貧窮,下至餓鬼,作是施已,因為說法,尋於食時,周旋往返,還歸本土;衣服珍寶及所須物,供養諸佛,下至餓鬼,亦復如是,然後自用。願令我世界無有八難不善苦惱,亦無受戒、毀戒、懺悔及其名字。願我世界,常有無量種種珍寶以為廁填,珍寶衣樹十方世界,所未曾有,未曾見聞,乃至億歲說其名字猶不能盡。願我世界諸菩薩等,欲見金色隨意得見,欲見銀色亦隨意見,當見銀時不失金相,當見金時不失銀相,頗梨、琉璃、車𤦲、馬瑙及赤真珠,種種珍寶隨意得見,亦復如是;欲見阿竭琉香、多伽琉香、多摩羅跋栴檀沈水、及赤栴檀、牛頭栴檀,欲見純栴檀者,隨意得見,欲見沈水者,亦隨意見,當見沈水不失栴檀,當見栴檀不失沈水,餘亦如是,種種所願皆得成就。願我世界無有日月,諸菩薩等有大光明,如本所求自然而出,乃至能照百千萬億那由他世界,以光明故無有晝夜,眾華開敷即知晝分,眾華合時便知夜分,世界調適無有寒熱及老病死。若有一生菩薩,於餘方成阿耨多羅三藐三菩提者,即以此身處於他方兜術天宮命終作佛。若我成阿耨多羅三藐三菩提已,不於其界取般涅槃,若般涅槃時處在虛空。諸菩薩等所欲得者自然而有,其世界邊周匝常有百千億那由他自然音樂,此音樂中不出欲想之聲,常出六波羅蜜聲、佛聲、法聲、比丘僧聲、菩薩藏聲、甚深義聲,而諸菩薩於諸音聲隨其所解。
「『世尊!我行菩薩道時,如我所見百千億那由他阿僧祇諸佛世界種種莊嚴、種種瓔珞、種種相貌、種種住處、種種所願,令我世界悉皆成就如是等事所有莊嚴,惟除聲聞、辟支佛等,亦復無有五濁之世、三惡道等、須彌諸山、大小鐵圍、土沙、礫石、大海、林木,純有寶樹,過天所有更無餘華,惟有天上曼陀羅華、摩訶曼陀羅華,無諸臭穢,純有妙香,遍滿其國。諸菩薩等皆是一生,無有一人生於餘處,惟除他方當成佛者,處兜術天命終成阿耨多羅三藐三菩提。
「『世尊!我行菩薩道時,無有齊限,要當成是微妙果報清淨佛土,一生菩薩充滿其中,是諸菩薩無有一人非我所教,初發阿耨多羅三藐三菩提心,安止六波羅蜜者,如是菩薩,皆是我初教發心,安止六波羅蜜,此散提嵐界,若入我界一切苦惱皆悉休息。
「『世尊!我行菩薩道時,要當成就如是等輩希有之事,然後於未來世乃成阿耨多羅三藐三菩提,願菩提樹名曰選擇見善珍寶,縱廣正等萬四天下,香氣光明遍於一十三千大千世界,菩提樹下以種種珍寶為金剛座,縱廣正等五四天下,其座名曰善擇寂滅智香等近,高萬四千由旬,我於此座結加趺坐,於一念中成阿耨多羅三藐三菩提,乃至般涅槃,常於道場菩提樹下,坐金剛座不解不壞,復當化作無量諸佛及菩薩眾,遣在其餘諸佛世界教化眾生,一一化佛,於一食頃為諸眾生說微妙法,即於食頃,令無量無邊眾生悉發阿耨多羅三藐三菩提心,尋發心已,即不退轉阿耨多羅三藐三菩提,如是化佛及菩薩眾,常作如是希有之事。我成阿耨多羅三藐三菩提已,願諸餘世界其中眾生悉見我身,若有眾生眼見我身三十二相、八十種好,悉令必定於阿耨多羅三藐三菩提,乃至涅槃不離見佛。願令我界所有眾生,六情完具無所缺少。若諸菩薩欲見我者,隨其所住,行來坐臥,悉得見之。是諸菩薩尋發心已,即時見我坐於道場菩提樹下,當見我時,先來所有於諸法相疑滯之處,我未為說便得除斷,亦得深解法相之義。願我當來壽命無量無能數者,除一切智,菩薩壽命亦復如是。我一念中成阿耨多羅三藐三菩提已,即一念中有無量菩薩,鬚髮自落,服三法衣,乃至涅槃,於其中間無有一人,長其鬚髮,著俗衣裳,一切皆著沙門之服。』
「爾時,佛告第三王子:『善男子!善哉!善哉!汝是純善大丈夫也。聰叡、善解、能作如是甚難大願。所作功德甚深甚深難可思議,微妙智慧之所為也。汝善男子!為眾生故,自發如是尊重之願取妙國土,以是故今號汝為文殊師利。於未來世過二恒河沙等無量無邊阿僧祇劫,入第三無量無邊阿僧祇劫,於此南方有佛世界,名曰清淨無垢寶寘,此散提嵐界亦入其中。彼世界中有種種莊嚴,汝於此中當成阿耨多羅三藐三菩提,號普現如來、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,諸菩薩眾皆悉清淨,汝之所願具足成就,如說而得。善男子!汝行菩薩道時,於無量億諸如來所種諸善根,是故一切眾生以汝為藥,汝心清淨能破煩惱,增諸善根。』
「爾時,文殊師利前白佛言:『世尊!若我所願成就,得己利者,惟願十方無量無邊阿僧祇世界,六種震動,其中諸佛現在說法與我受記,亦願一切眾生受歡喜樂,譬如菩薩入第二禪自在遊戲,天雨曼陀羅華,遍滿世界,華中常出佛聲、法聲、比丘僧聲、六波羅蜜、力、無所畏如是等聲。願我敬禮寶藏佛時,即出如是諸相貌等。』作是語已,尋時禮佛,頭面著地,即於是時,十方無量無邊阿僧祇世界六種震動,天於空中雨曼陀羅華,一切眾生受於喜樂,譬如菩薩入第二禪自在遊戲,諸菩薩等是時,惟聞佛聲、法聲、比丘僧聲、六波羅蜜、十力、無畏如是等聲。是時,他方諸菩薩等,見聞是事,怪未曾有,各白其佛言:『何因緣故有是瑞應?』諸佛各告諸菩薩言:『十方諸佛各各廣為文殊師利授阿耨多羅三藐三菩提記故,是其瑞應。』
「爾時寶藏如來為文殊師利而說偈言:
「『勝意曠大, 今可還起,
十方諸佛, 已授汝記,
當於來世, 成尊勝道,
世界大地, 六種震動,
眾生滿足, 受於快樂。』
「善男子!爾時,文殊師利聞是偈已,心生歡喜,即起合掌,前禮佛足,去佛不遠,復坐聽法。
