Evaṃ me sutaṃ—
So I have heard.
我曾这样听说。
ekaṃ samayaṃ bhagavā sāvatthiyaṃ viharati jetavane anāthapiṇḍikassa ārāme.
At one time the Buddha was staying near Sāvatthī in Jeta’s Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s monastery.
有一次，佛陀住在舍卫城附近，祇树给孤独园。
Atha kho sambahulānaṃ bhikkhūnaṃ pacchābhattaṃ piṇḍapātapaṭikkantānaṃ upaṭṭhānasālāyaṃ sannisinnānaṃ sannipatitānaṃ ayamantarākathā udapādi:
Then after the meal, on return from alms-round, several senior monks sat together in the pavilion and this discussion came up among them:
午饭后，乞食归来，几位资深比丘坐在亭子里，他们之间展开了这样的讨论：
“acchariyaṃ, āvuso, abbhutaṃ, āvuso. Tathāgatassa mahiddhikatā mahānubhāvatā,
“It’s incredible, reverends, it’s amazing, the power and might of a Realized One!
“诸位大德，真是不可思议，真是奇妙，如来具足大威神力！
yatra hi nāma tathāgato atīte buddhe parinibbute chinnapapañce chinnavaṭume pariyādinnavaṭṭe sabbadukkhavītivatte jānissati:
For he is able to know the Buddhas of the past who have become completely nirvana'd, cut off proliferation, cut off the track, finished off the cycle, and transcended suffering.
因为他能够了知过去那些已完全涅槃、断除戏论、断除踪迹、了结轮回、超越痛苦的佛陀。
‘evaṃjaccā te bhagavanto ahesuṃ’ itipi, ‘evaṃnāmā te bhagavanto ahesuṃ’ itipi, ‘evaṃgottā te bhagavanto ahesuṃ’ itipi, ‘evaṃsīlā te bhagavanto ahesuṃ’ itipi, ‘evaṃdhammā te bhagavanto ahesuṃ’ itipi, ‘evaṃpaññā te bhagavanto ahesuṃ’ itipi, ‘evaṃvihārī te bhagavanto ahesuṃ’ itipi, ‘evaṃvimuttā te bhagavanto ahesuṃ’ itipī”ti.
He knows the caste they were born in, and also their names, clans, conduct, teaching, wisdom, meditation, and freedom.”
他知道他们出生的种姓，以及他们的名字、氏族、行为、教法、智慧、禅定和解脱。”
Evaṃ vutte, āyasmā ānando te bhikkhū etadavoca:
When they said this, Venerable Ānanda said:
当他们这样说时，尊者阿难说：
“acchariyā ceva, āvuso, tathāgatā acchariyadhammasamannāgatā ca;
“The Realized Ones are incredible, reverends, and they have incredible qualities.
“诸位大德，如来不可思议，他们具有不可思议的品质。
abbhutā ceva, āvuso, tathāgatā abbhutadhammasamannāgatā cā”ti.
They’re amazing, and they have amazing qualities.”
他们真是了不起，他们具有了不起的品质。”
Ayañca hidaṃ tesaṃ bhikkhūnaṃ antarākathā vippakatā hoti.
But this conversation among those monks was left unfinished.
但是这些比丘之间的谈话没有结束。
Atha kho bhagavā sāyanhasamayaṃ paṭisallānā vuṭṭhito yenupaṭṭhānasālā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā paññatte āsane nisīdi.
Then in the late afternoon, the Buddha came out of retreat, went to the assembly hall, sat down on the seat spread out,
傍晚时分，佛陀出定，来到集会堂，坐在铺好的座位上，
Nisajja kho bhagavā bhikkhū āmantesi:
and addressed the monks:
然后对比丘们说：
“kāya nuttha, bhikkhave, etarahi kathāya sannisinnā, kā ca pana vo antarākathā vippakatā”ti?
“monks, what were you sitting talking about just now? What conversation was unfinished?”
“比丘们，你们刚才坐在一起谈论什么？什么谈话没有结束？”
“Idha, bhante, amhākaṃ pacchābhattaṃ piṇḍapātapaṭikkantānaṃ upaṭṭhānasālāyaṃ sannisinnānaṃ sannipatitānaṃ ayamantarākathā udapādi:
So the monks told him what they had been talking about when the Buddha arrived. The Buddha said:
于是比丘们将他们谈论的内容告诉了佛陀。佛陀说：
‘acchariyaṃ, āvuso, abbhutaṃ, āvuso, tathāgatassa mahiddhikatā mahānubhāvatā, yatra hi nāma tathāgato atīte buddhe parinibbute chinnapapañce chinnavaṭume pariyādinnavaṭṭe sabbadukkhavītivatte jānissati—
evaṃjaccā te bhagavanto ahesuṃ itipi, evaṃnāmā … evaṅgottā … evaṃsīlā … evaṃdhammā … evaṃpaññā … evaṃvihārī … evaṃvimuttā te bhagavanto ahesuṃ itipī’ti. Evaṃ vutte, bhante, āyasmā ānando amhe etadavoca:
‘acchariyā ceva, āvuso, tathāgatā acchariyadhammasamannāgatā ca;
abbhutā ceva, āvuso, tathāgatā abbhutadhammasamannāgatā cā’ti.
Ayaṃ kho no, bhante, antarākathā vippakatā; atha bhagavā anuppatto”ti.
Atha kho bhagavā āyasmantaṃ ānandaṃ āmantesi:
“tasmātiha taṃ, ānanda, bhiyyoso mattāya paṭibhantu tathāgatassa acchariyā abbhutadhammā”ti.
“So, Ānanda, say some more about the incredible and amazing qualities of the Realized One.”
“那么，阿难，再说一些关于如来不可思议和奇妙的品质吧。”

And then—in this world with its gods, Māras and Brahmās, this population with its ascetics and brahmins, gods and humans—an immeasurable, magnificent light appears, surpassing the glory of the gods.
在这有神、魔、梵天，有沙门、婆罗门、天人众生的世间，会出现无量、庄严的光芒，超越诸天神的荣光。

Even in the boundless desolation of interstellar space—so utterly dark that even the light of the moon and the sun, so mighty and powerful, makes no impression—an immeasurable, magnificent light appears, surpassing the glory of the gods.

Evameva kho, ānanda, yadā bodhisatto mātukucchimhā nikkhamati, visadova nikkhamati amakkhito udena amakkhito semhena amakkhito ruhirena amakkhito kenaci asucinā suddho visado’ti.
In the same way, when the being intent on awakening emerges from his mother’s womb, he emerges already clean, unsoiled by waters, mucus, blood, or any other kind of impurity, pure and clean.’
同样地，当意欲觉悟者从母胎中诞生时，他已经洁净，不受水、黏液、血液或任何其他不净物所沾染，清净无垢。’
Yampi, bhante … pe … idampāhaṃ, bhante, bhagavato acchariyaṃ abbhutadhammaṃ dhāremi. (16)
This too I remember as an incredible quality of the Buddha.
此我也铭记为佛陀不可思议的功德。
123.17 – (emerges from his mother’s womb, two streams of water appear in the sky, one cool, one warm,)
Sammukhā metaṃ, bhante, bhagavato sutaṃ, sammukhā paṭiggahitaṃ:
I have learned this in the presence of the Buddha:
我曾亲聆佛陀教诲：
‘yadā, ānanda, bodhisatto mātukucchimhā nikkhamati, dve udakassa dhārā antalikkhā pātubhavanti—ekā sītassa, ekā uṇhassa; yena bodhisattassa udakakiccaṃ karonti mātu cā’ti.
‘When the being intent on awakening emerges from his mother’s womb, two streams of water appear in the sky, one cool, one warm, for bathing the being intent on awakening and his mother.’
‘当意欲觉悟者从母胎中诞生时，天空中会出现两道水流，一道冷，一道暖，用来沐浴意欲觉悟者和他的母亲。’
Yampi, bhante … pe … idampāhaṃ, bhante, bhagavato acchariyaṃ abbhutadhammaṃ dhāremi. (17)
This too I remember as an incredible quality of the Buddha.
此我也铭记为佛陀不可思议的功德。
123.18 – (he takes seven strides...says “I am the foremost in the world!)
Sammukhā metaṃ, bhante, bhagavato sutaṃ, sammukhā paṭiggahitaṃ:
I have learned this in the presence of the Buddha:
我曾亲聆佛陀教诲：
‘sampatijāto, ānanda, bodhisatto samehi pādehi pathaviyaṃ patiṭṭhahitvā uttarābhimukho sattapadavītihārena gacchati, setamhi chatte anudhāriyamāne, sabbā ca disā viloketi, āsabhiñca vācaṃ bhāsati—aggohamasmi lokassa, jeṭṭhohamasmi lokassa, seṭṭhohamasmi lokassa. Ayamantimā jāti, natthi dāni punabbhavo’ti.
‘As soon as he’s born, the being intent on awakening stands firm with his own feet on the ground. Facing north, he takes seven strides with a white parasol held above him, surveys all quarters, and makes this dramatic statement: “I am the foremost in the world! I am the eldest in the world! I am the best in the world! This is my last rebirth. Now there are no more future lives.”’
‘他一出生，意欲觉悟者就用自己的双脚坚定地站在地上。他面向北方，在头顶上方撑着一把白伞，迈出七步，环顾四方，并发表了这番庄严的声明：“我是世间第一！我是世间最长者！我是世间最胜者！这是我最后一次受生。从此不再有未来生。”’
Yampi, bhante … pe … idampāhaṃ, bhante, bhagavato acchariyaṃ abbhutadhammaṃ dhāremi. (18)
This too I remember as an incredible quality of the Buddha.
此我也铭记为佛陀不可思议的功德。
123.19 – (an immeasurable, magnificent light appears, surpassing the glory of the gods)
Sammukhā metaṃ, bhante, bhagavato sutaṃ, sammukhā paṭiggahitaṃ:
I have learned this in the presence of the Buddha:
我曾亲聆佛陀教诲：
‘yadā, ānanda, bodhisatto mātukucchimhā nikkhamati, atha sadevake loke samārake sabrahmake sassamaṇabrāhmaṇiyā pajāya sadevamanussāya appamāṇo uḷāro obhāso loke pātubhavati atikkammeva devānaṃ devānubhāvaṃ.
‘When the being intent on awakening emerges from his mother’s womb, then—in this world with its gods, Māras and Brahmās, this population with its ascetics and brahmins, gods and humans—an immeasurable, magnificent light appears, surpassing the glory of the gods.
‘当意欲觉悟者从母胎中诞生时，在这有神、魔、梵天，有沙门、婆罗门、天人众生的世间，会出现无量、庄严的光芒，超越诸天神的荣光。
Yāpi tā lokantarikā aghā asaṃvutā andhakārā andhakāratimisā yatthapime candimasūriyā evaṃmahiddhikā evaṃmahānubhāvā ābhāya nānubhonti tatthapi appamāṇo uḷāro obhāso loke pātubhavati atikkammeva devānaṃ devānubhāvaṃ.
Even in the boundless desolation of interstellar space—so utterly dark that even the light of the moon and the sun, so mighty and powerful, makes no impression—an immeasurable, magnificent light appears, surpassing the glory of the gods.
即使在浩瀚无边的星际空间——那里黑暗得连月亮和太阳这般强大而有力的光芒也无法照亮——也会出现无量、庄严的光芒，超越诸天神的荣光。
Yepi tattha sattā upapannā tepi tenobhāsena aññamaññaṃ sañjānanti—aññepi kira, bho, santi sattā idhūpapannāti.
And the sentient beings reborn there recognize each other by that light: “So, it seems other sentient beings have been reborn here!”
投生在那里的有情众生，也会通过那道光芒认出彼此：“原来，这里也有其他有情众生投生！”
Ayañca dasasahassī lokadhātu saṅkampati sampakampati sampavedhati, appamāṇo ca uḷāro obhāso loke pātubhavati atikkammeva devānaṃ devānubhāvan’ti.
And this galaxy shakes and rocks and trembles. And an immeasurable, magnificent light appears in the world, surpassing the glory of the gods.’
这整个星系都会震动、摇晃、颤抖。世间出现无量、庄严的光芒，超越诸天神的荣光。’
Yampi, bhante … pe … idampāhaṃ, bhante, bhagavato acchariyaṃ abbhutadhammaṃ dhāremī”ti. (19)
This too I remember as an incredible and amazing quality of the Buddha.”
此我也铭记为佛陀不可思议和奇妙的功德。”
123.20 – (He knows sensations, perceptions, thoughts as they arise, as they remain, and as they go away.)
“Tasmātiha tvaṃ, ānanda, idampi tathāgatassa acchariyaṃ abbhutadhammaṃ dhārehi.
“So, Ānanda, you should also remember this as an incredible and amazing quality of the Realized One.
“那么，阿难，你也应该将此铭记为如来不可思议和奇妙的功德。
Idhānanda, tathāgatassa viditā vedanā uppajjanti, viditā upaṭṭhahanti, viditā abbhatthaṃ gacchanti;
It’s that the Realized One knows feelings as they arise, as they remain, and as they go away.
那就是如来如实了知感受的生起、安住和消逝。
viditā saññā uppajjanti … pe …
He knows perceptions as they arise, as they remain, and as they go away.
他如实了知知觉的生起、安住和消逝。
viditā vitakkā uppajjanti, viditā upaṭṭhahanti, viditā abbhatthaṃ gacchanti.
He knows thoughts as they arise, as they remain, and as they go away.
他如实了知念头的生起、安住和消逝。
Idampi kho tvaṃ, ānanda, tathāgatassa acchariyaṃ abbhutadhammaṃ dhārehī”ti.
This too you should remember as an incredible and amazing quality of the Realized One.”
此你也应铭记为如来不可思议和奇妙的功德。”
“Yampi, bhante, bhagavato viditā vedanā uppajjanti, viditā upaṭṭhahanti, viditā abbhatthaṃ gacchanti;
“Sir, the Buddha knows feelings as they arise, as they remain, and as they go away.
“世尊，佛陀如实了知感受的生起、安住和消逝。
viditā saññā …
He knows perceptions as they arise, as they remain, and as they go away.
他如实了知知觉的生起、安住和消逝。

This too I remember as an incredible and amazing quality of the Buddha.”
此我也铭记为佛陀不可思议和奇妙的功德。”
Idamavoca āyasmā ānando.
That’s what Ānanda said,
阿难如此说道，
Samanuñño satthā ahosi;
and the teacher approved.
老师也赞许了。
attamanā ca te bhikkhū āyasmato ānandassa bhāsitaṃ abhinandunti.
Satisfied, those monks were happy with what Venerable Ānanda said.
那些比丘心满意足，对尊者阿难所说的话感到欢喜。
