[0593a06] 如是我聞：
Thus have I heard:
[0593a06] 一時佛在王舍城耆闍崛山中，與大比丘眾千二百五十人俱。爾時阿闍世王所愛之子名為師子，與其同友五百人俱，皆已趣向阿耨多羅三藐三菩提，各持種種幢幡寶蓋，從王舍城往耆闍崛山，到如來所禮拜供養。於是王子合掌恭敬而白佛言：「唯願如來為我宣說諸菩薩行。」
At one time, the Buddha was at Vulture Peak in Rajagriha, accompanied by a great assembly of 1,250 bhikshus. At that time, King Ajātaśatru’s beloved son named Simha, along with 500 companions, all of whom had set out for supreme, perfect enlightenment, each carrying various banners, flags, and jeweled canopies, went from Rajagriha to Vulture Peak to pay homage and make offerings to the Tathagata. Then the prince, with palms joined respectfully, said to the Buddha, "I only wish that the Tathagata would expound for me the practices of the bodhisattvas."
[0593a12] 爾時王子即說頌言：

[0593a16] 爾時如來了達諸行究竟彼岸，隨問而答即說頌曰：
"At that time, the Tathagata, who had thoroughly comprehended all practices and reached the other shore, answered the question by speaking these verses:"
忍辱得端正， 施蓮花化生， 法施知宿命， 汝當如是解。」

At that time, after hearing these verses, the prince and the great assembly all said: 'As the Buddha has explained these wonderful practices, we shall all diligently study and practice them from now on.'
[0594a24] 是時如來即現微笑，放大光明遍照無量無邊世界。於是彌勒菩薩白佛言：「世尊！以何因緣現此微笑？願為宣說斷除疑惑。」
“At that time, the Tathagata smiled and emitted a great light that illuminated countless and boundless worlds. Then, Maitreya Bodhisattva said to the Buddha: 'World-Honored One! For what reason did you display this smile? Please explain and remove our doubts.'"
[0594a27] 爾時佛告彌勒菩薩摩訶薩言：「善男子！此王子等五百同友，皆於往昔為求無上正等菩提，恭敬供養十那由他八十億諸佛。而我往在然燈佛時，作婆羅門子成熟於彼。然彼諸人於未來世彌勒佛等諸世尊前，恒受化生親承供養。如是奉事十億如來滿三百劫，其最後佛號無邊智善學諸法。時無邊智佛知彼諸人心之欲樂，各隨所應為授阿耨多羅三藐三菩提記，同於安樂光嚴劫中成等正覺，皆號智慧幢相。此諸佛剎所有莊嚴，亦如西方無量壽國等無差別。善男子！若有眾生聞此所說而生信解，發願當成大菩提者，應知是人所獲功德，於三世中無有倫匹。善男子！若有人能六百劫中，恒以眾寶遍於諸剎奉施如來。若復有人聞是經典所生善根，比前功德，算數校計所不能及。」
"At that time, the Buddha said to Maitreya Bodhisattva Mahasattva: 'Good son! This prince and his 500 companions have, in the past, for the sake of supreme perfect enlightenment, respectfully made offerings to ten nayuta and eighty billion Buddhas. When I was in the time of Dipankara Buddha, I was a Brahmin's son who helped mature them. These people will, in the future, be constantly reborn to personally make offerings before World-Honored Ones like Maitreya Buddha. They will serve ten billion Tathagatas for 300 kalpas, with the last Buddha being named Boundless Wisdom Who Skillfully Learns All Dharmas. At that time, Buddha Boundless Wisdom, knowing these people's desires, will give each of them a prediction of attaining anuttara-samyak-sambodhi according to their capacities. They will all attain perfect enlightenment in the Blissful Light-Adorned Kalpa, all bearing the title 'Banner of Wisdom'. The adornments of these Buddha lands will be no different from Amitabha's Western Pure Land. Good son! If any being hears this teaching and generates faith and understanding, vowing to attain great bodhi, you should know that the merits this person gains are unparalleled in the three times. Good son! If someone could, for 600 kalpas, constantly offer jewels throughout all lands to the Tathagatas, and if another person hears this sutra and generates roots of goodness, the merits of the latter, compared to the former, are beyond calculation.'"
[0594b14] 說是法時，眾中八十億眾生一時趣向阿耨多羅三藐三菩提。又此三千大千世界皆悉震動天雨妙花。
"When this teaching was spoken, eighty billion beings in the assembly simultaneously set out towards supreme, perfect enlightenment (anuttara-samyak-sambodhi). Moreover, this great trichiliocosm (three thousand great thousand-fold world system) shook and a rain of wonderful flowers fell from the heavens."
[0594b16] 爾時王子與五百同友聞授記已，歡喜踊躍，咸作念言：「我等定當成無上覺。」於是王子及諸同侶，既興供養獲五神通，即於佛前種種變現，出家為道。
"At that time, when the prince and his 500 companions heard their prediction, they were overjoyed and all thought, 'We will certainly attain supreme enlightenment.' Then the prince and his companions, having made offerings and obtained the five supernatural powers, performed various miraculous transformations before the Buddha and left home to follow the path."
[0594b20] 爾時諸菩薩摩訶薩及諸天人，所有趣向大菩提者，見彼王子與諸同友隨眾所樂示現神變，皆大歡喜咸作是言：「師子王子所問疑惑，如來法王悉為除斷。如是世尊不可思議，如來正法及能信受，乃至果報不可思議。如來功德無量無邊，於一切法靡不明達。為世導師度未度者，普能遍於十方世界，悉已了知三世諸法。誰有智者得聞如是生安樂處功德之聚，而不發起猛利信樂趣求菩提？」
"At that time, all the Bodhisattva-mahasattvas and celestial beings who were aspiring for great enlightenment saw the prince and his companions displaying miraculous transformations according to the desires of the assembly. They were all greatly delighted and said: 'The doubts and confusion of Prince Siṃha have been completely resolved by the Dharma King Tathagata. Such a World-Honored One is inconceivable, and the true Dharma of the Tathagata and the ability to believe in it, even to its fruition, are inconceivable. The merits of the Tathagata are immeasurable and boundless, with clear understanding of all dharmas. As the world's guide, he liberates those who have not yet been liberated, able to pervade the ten directions of the world, having thoroughly understood the dharmas of the three times. What wise person, upon hearing of such an accumulation of merits that leads to rebirth in places of peace and happiness, would not arouse intense faith and joy in seeking enlightenment?'"
[0594b29] 佛說是經已，師子王子等五百同友，歡喜奉行。
"When the Buddha had finished speaking this sutra, Prince Siṃha and his five hundred companions were delighted and respectfully put it into practice."
