Chapter 4: The Vision in a Dream of Purification Through Regret
第四章：夢中懺悔淨化的異象
4.1Then the bodhisattva Ruciraketu was happy and overjoyed to have heard the extremely sublime Dharma directly from the Bhagavat. He contemplated it one-pointedly and returned to his home. While asleep that night, in a dream he saw a great golden drum that was shining brightly like the disk of the sun. From those light rays, he saw in the ten directions countless buddhas seated upon beryl thrones at the foot of precious trees, encircled by assemblies of many hundreds of thousands, and they were teaching the Dharma.
4.1那時菩薩妙幢聽聞薄伽梵直接為他講述極其殊勝的法，心生歡喜和大喜悅。他一心思惟觀察，然後返回自己的家中。在那個夜晚的睡夢中，他看見一面巨大的黃金鼓，光芒璀璨，如同太陽圓盤一樣閃耀發光。從那些光芒中，他在十方看見無數的佛坐在綠玉寶座上，位於珍寶樹下，被數百萬眾生的集會所圍繞，這些佛正在講說法法。
4.2A brahmin beat that drum, from which came a loud sound; from that sound were taught sublime Dharma verses of the confession of bad actions, which Ruciraketu heard. He kept the entirety of it in his mind and remained in one-pointed mindfulness.
4.2一位婆羅門敲打那面鼓，鼓聲隆隆作響；從鼓聲中宣說了關於懺悔惡業的殊勝法偈，妙幢菩薩聽到了這些法語。他將全部內容銘記於心，並保持一心不亂的念。
4.3At dawn, he left the city of Rājagṛha. Accompanied by an entourage numbering countless hundreds of thousands, and carrying objects for offering, he went to Vulture Peak Mountain and came into the presence of the Bhagavat. He bowed down to the feet of the Bhagavat and spread out flowers and perfume. He then circumambulated the Bhagavat three times, keeping him to his right, and sat down to one side. [F.43.a] He placed his palms together, gazed with veneration upon the face of the Bhagavat, and said, “Bhagavat, I dreamed that a brahmin beat a sublime golden drum from which came a loud sound, and from that sound were taught sublime Dharma verses of the confession of bad actions. I memorized them and remember them. Bhagavat, I request that through your great compassion you give me permission to recite them.”
4.3天亮時，他離開王舍城。帶著數不清的百千萬眾隨從，攜帶供養的物品，前往靈鷲山來到薄伽梵的面前。他向薄伽梵的足部禮拜，灑下鮮花和香料。隨後繞薄伽梵三圈，保持他在自己的右邊，然後坐在一旁。他合掌，恭敬地凝視薄伽梵的面容，說道：「薄伽梵，我夢到一位婆羅門敲打一面殊勝的金鼓，鼓聲響亮，從那聲音中傳出了關於懺悔惡業的殊勝法語。我已經記住了它們，現在還記得。薄伽梵，我懇請您以您的大慈悲心，允許我誦讀它們。」
