Summary

s.1This sūtra takes place in the city of Vaiśālī, where the Buddha Śākyamuni and his retinue of monks have gone to gather alms. When the Buddha enters Vaiśālī a number of miracles occur in the city, and these draw the attention of a three-year-old boy named Ratnadatta. As the child encounters the Buddha, a dialogue ensues with the monks Maudgalyā­yana and Śāriputra and the bodhisattva Mañjuśrī, in which the boy delivers a teaching on the practice of bodhisattvas and a critique of those who fail to take up such practices.

s.1本經發生在毘舍離城。釋迦牟尼佛陀和他的僧眾前往該城乞食。佛陀進入毘舍離時,城中發生了許多奇蹟,這些奇蹟引起了一位名叫寶髻的三歲男孩的注意。當這個孩子遇見佛陀時,與僧人目犍連、舍利弗和菩薩文殊菩薩展開了對話。在這場對話中,這位男孩講述了菩薩行的修習之法,並批評了那些未能實踐這些法門的人。
