The Buddha’s Smile

佛陀的微笑

14.1Then the youth Candraprabha rose from his seat, removed his robe from one shoulder, and, kneeling on his right knee, [F.46.b] with palms placed together he bowed toward the Bhagavān and said to him, “Bhagavān, it is marvelous that the Bhagavān, the tathāgata, the arhat, the perfectly enlightened Buddha has taught the equality that is the nature of all phenomena, which is the samādhi that all bodhisattvas train in.

14.1隨後，青年月光從座位上起身，褪去一隻肩膀上的衣服，單膝跪地，雙掌合十，向薄伽梵禮拜，對他說道：「薄伽梵，您這位如來、阿羅漢、圓滿成就正等正覺的佛陀教示了一切現象本質中的平等性，這就是所有菩薩修習的三摩地，這實在是不可思議啊。」

14.2“Bhagavān, it was thus, in this training, that the Bhagavān trained for a long time, and accomplished the highest, complete enlightenment of perfect buddhahood. Bhagavān, that gives me confidence to speak. Sugata, it gives me confidence to speak.”

14.2「薄伽梵，正是因為薄伽梵在這樣的修行中訓練了很長時間，並證得了無上正等正覺的佛果。薄伽梵，這給了我說話的信心。善逝，這給了我說話的信心。」

14.3The Bhagavān said, “Young man, if you think the time has come, be confident to speak.”

14.3薄伽梵說：「年輕人，如果你認為時機已到，就請放心地說吧。」

Since the Bhagavān had granted the youth Candraprabha this opportunity, Candraprabha spoke the following verses of praise directly to the Bhagavān.

薄伽梵既然已經給予月光童子這個機會，月光童子便向薄伽梵說出以下讚歎的偈頌。
