Summary
s.1While resting in a park outside the city of Vaiśālī, the Buddha is approached by the bodhisattva Prāmodyarāja, who requests meditation instruction. The Buddha proceeds to give a teaching on a meditative absorption called elucidating the way of all phenomena and subsequently delivers an elaborate discourse on the six perfections. Prāmodyarāja then learns that all the future buddhas of the Good Eon are now present in the Blessed One’s audience of bodhisattvas. Responding to Prāmodyarāja’s request to reveal the names under which these present bodhisattvas will be known as buddhas in the future, the Buddha first lists these names, and then goes on to describe the circumstances surrounding their birth, awakening, and teaching in the world. In the sūtra’s final section, we learn how each of these great bodhisattvas who are on the path to buddhahood first developed the mind of awakening.
s.1佛陀在毘舍離城外的公園裡休息時，菩薩喜王前來請求禪定的教導。佛陀隨後開示了一種名為「闡明諸法之道」的禪定三昧，並接著詳細講述六波羅蜜。喜王菩薩隨後得知，賢劫的所有未來佛陀如今都已在世尊的菩薩眾中。為了回應喜王菩薩請求世尊揭示這些現在的菩薩將來成佛時所使用的名號，佛陀首先列舉了這些名字，然後進一步描述了他們在世間誕生、覺悟和說法的各種情況。在經文的最後一段，我們瞭解到這些正走在成佛道路上的大菩薩們最初如何生起菩提心。
