如是我聞。一時仏、在舎衛国　祇樹給孤独園、与大比丘衆　千二百五十人倶。皆是大阿羅漢。衆所知識。
如是我聞。一時佛在舍衛國，祇樹給孤獨園。與大比丘僧，千二百五十人俱，皆是大阿羅漢，眾所知識：

evaṁ mayā śrutaṁ / ekasmin samaye bhagavāñ śrāvastyāṁ viharati sma jetavane 'nāthapiṁḍadasyārāme mahatā bhikṣusaṁghena sārdham ardhatrayodaśabhir bhikṣuśatair abhijñānābhijñātaiḥ sthavirair mahāśrāvakaiḥ sarvair arhadbhiḥ /

※ ardhatrayodaśabhir ＝第十三个百人只是一半、つまり1250人　
　 ardha=ひとつだけ半分, trayoda=13（僧団）

"In this way, I heard: At one time, the Blessed One was staying near Śrāvastī, in Jeta's Grove, Anāthapiṇḍada's park, accompanied by a great assembly of monks, twelve hundred fifty in number, all of whom were elders, great disciples, with great knowledge and insight, well-known and recognized, perfected, and liberated."

我、かくの如く聞きたまえき。ある時、仏、舎衛国近くにましまして祇樹給孤独園にて大比丘衆と共に十三の僧団、その数千二百五十人の大阿羅漢なり。衆に知識せられたり。

爾時仏告　長老舎利弗、従是西方、過十万億仏土、有世界、名曰極楽。其土有仏、号阿弥陀。今現在説法。舎利弗、彼土何故　名為極楽。其国衆生、無有衆苦、但受諸楽、故名極楽。

爾時，佛告長老舍利弗：「從是西方，過十萬億佛土，有世界名曰極樂，其土有佛，號阿彌陀，今現在說法。」「舍利弗，彼土何故名為極樂？其國眾生，無有眾苦，但受諸樂，故名極樂。」

"There, indeed, the Blessed One addressed Śāriputra, 'Śāriputra, there is a western direction from here, beyond one hundred thousand Buddha fields, a realm called Sukhāvatī. In that realm, the Tathāgata, Arhat, the Perfectly Enlightened One named Amitāyus currently resides. He upholds, inspires, and teaches the Dharma. Śāriputra, what do you think? For what reason is that realm called Sukhāvatī?

Again, Śāriputra, in the realm of Sukhāvatī, there is no physical suffering, no mental suffering, only immeasurable causes of happiness. For this reason, that realm is called Sukhāvatī."

その時、仏、長老シャーリプトラに告げたまわく、「これより西方に、十万億の仏土を過ぎて、世界あり、名づけて極楽と曰う。その土に仏まします、阿弥陀と号す。いま現にましまして法を説きたまう。舎利弗、かの土を何のゆえぞ名づけて極楽とする。その国の衆生、もろもろの苦あることなし、但もろもろの楽を受く、かるがゆえに極楽と名づく。

又舎利弗、極楽国土、七重欄楯　七重羅網　七重行樹。皆是四宝、周帀囲繞。是故彼国、名曰極楽。

「又舍利弗。極樂國土，七重欄楯，七重羅網，七重行樹，皆是四寶周匝圍繞，是故彼國名為極樂。」

"Furthermore, Śāriputra, Sukhāvatī, the realm, is adorned on all sides with seven rows of railings, seven rows of palm trees, various nets, and is completely covered. It is surrounded everywhere by an array of wondrous and beautiful jeweled pavilions, displaying an assembly of four types of jewels—such as gold, silver, beryl, and crystal. In this manner, Śāriputra, the Buddha field is adorned with an array of qualities.

Similarly, Śāriputra, with qualities like those – adorned with the qualities of the Buddha field – is that Buddha field."

　また舎利弗よ、極楽国土には七重の欄楯・七重の羅網・七重の行樹あり。みなこれ四宝をもって、周帀し囲繞せり。このゆえにかの国を、名づけて極楽と曰う。

又舎利弗、極楽国土、有七宝池。八功徳水　充満其中。池底純以　金沙布地。四辺階道、金銀瑠璃　玻瓈合成。上有楼閣、亦以金銀瑠璃　玻瓈硨磲　赤珠碼碯、而厳飾之。池中蓮華、大如車輪。青色青光、黄色黄光、赤色赤光、白色白光。微妙香潔。舎利弗、極楽国土、成就如是　功徳荘厳。

"Again, Śāriputra, in the Buddha field of Sukhāvatī, there are seven jewel-filled ponds made of gold, silver, beryl, crystal, coral, ruby and emerald.
These ponds are filled with water imbued with the eight virtues and surrounded by sandbanks of golden gravel. In these ponds, there are beautiful and ornate staircases in all four directions, adorned with a variety of jewels which are made of gold, silver, beryl and crystal.
These staircases surround the ponds on all sides, and in those ponds, there have arisen jewel trees, beautiful and worth seeing, adorned with seven types of jewels all made of gold, silver, beryl, crystal, coral, ruby and emerald.
In those ponds, lotus flowers have emerged, each of various colors with blue, yellow, red and white. They shine with a radiance of their respective colors. The dimensions of these lotus flowers are vast, like the circumference of a cartwheel. Śāriputra, in this way, the Buddha field is adorned with qualities, like those qualities of the Buddha field."

　また舎利弗、極楽国土には、七宝の池あり。八功徳水その中に充満せり。池の底にもっぱら金沙をもって地に布けり。四辺に階道あり、金・銀・瑠璃・玻瓈、合成せり。上に楼閣あり、また金・銀・瑠璃・玻瓈・硨磲・赤珠・碼碯をもってして、これを厳飾せり。池の中の蓮華、大きさ車輪のごとし。青き色には青き光、黄なる色には黄なる光、赤き色には赤き光、白き色には白き光あり。微妙香潔なり。舎利弗、極楽国土には、かくのごときの功徳荘厳を成就せり。

又舎利弗、彼仏国土、常作天楽。黄金為地。昼夜六時、而雨曼陀羅華。其国衆生、常以清旦、各以衣裓、盛衆妙華、供養他方　十万億仏。即以食時、還到本国、飯食経行。舎利弗、極楽国土、成就如是　功徳荘厳。

「又舍利弗。彼佛國土，常作天樂。黃金為地。晝夜六時，雨天曼陀羅華。其土眾生，常以清旦，各以衣祴盛眾妙華，供養他方十萬億佛，即以食時，還到本國，飯食經行。」
「舍利弗。極樂國土，成就如是功德莊嚴。」

"Furthermore, Śāriputra, in that Buddha field, heavenly celestial sounds are continuously proclaimed. The great earth there is of a golden hue and delightful. In that Buddha field, three times during the night and three times during the day, there is a rain of divine Mandāra flowers.
Among those beings who are reborn there, each of them praises hundreds of thousands of Buddhas with a single voice, then proceeds to visit other Buddha fields, showering each Tathāgata there with a rain of flowers numbering in the billions. After that, they return to that very Buddha field for daytime activities.
Śāriputra, in this manner, the Buddha field is adorned with qualities like those."

また舎利弗、かの仏国土には、常に天の楽を作す。黄金を地とす。昼夜六時に、天の曼陀羅華を雨る。その国の衆生、常に清旦をもって、おのおの衣裓をもって、もろもろの妙華を盛れて、他方の十万億の仏を供養したてまつる。すなわち食時をもって、本国に還り到りて、飯食し経行す。舎利弗、極楽国土には、かくのごときの功徳荘厳を成就せり。

復次舎利弗、彼国常有　種種奇妙　雑色之鳥。白鵠孔雀　鸚鵡舎利　迦陵頻伽　共命之鳥。是諸衆鳥、昼夜六時　出和雅音。其音演暢　五根五力　七菩提分　八聖道分　如是等法。其土衆生、聞是音已、皆悉念仏念法念僧。

復次舍利弗：「彼國常有種種奇妙雜色之鳥：白鶴、孔雀、鸚鵡、舍利、迦陵頻伽、共命之鳥。是諸眾鳥，晝夜六時，出和雅音。其音演暢五根、五力、七菩提分、八聖道分，如是等法。其土眾生，聞是音已，皆悉念佛、念法、念僧。」

"Furthermore, Śāriputra, in that Buddha field, there are swans, cranes, and peacocks. They, three times during the night and three times during the day, come together, producing harmonious songs, each uttering their distinctive sounds.
As these sounds are heard, the faculty of hearing, strength, and mindfulness of the beings among them are awakened. Upon hearing these sounds, thoughts of the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha arise in the minds of those human beings."

次に、舎利弗、かの国には常に種種の奇妙雑色の鳥あり。白鵠・孔雀・鸚鵡・舎利・迦陵頻伽・共命の鳥なり。このもろもろの衆鳥、昼夜六時に和雅の音を出だす。その音、五根・五力・七菩提分・八聖道分、かくのごときらの法を演暢す。その土の衆生、この音を聞き已りて、みなことごとく仏を念じ、法を念じ、僧を念ず。

舎利弗、汝勿謂此鳥　実是罪報所生。所以者何。彼仏国土、無三悪趣。舎利弗、其仏国土、尚無三悪道之名。何況有実　是諸衆鳥。皆是阿弥陀仏、欲令法音宣流、変化所作。

「舍利弗。汝勿謂此鳥，實是罪報所生，所以者何？彼佛國土，無三惡道。」
「舍利弗。其佛國土，尚無惡道之名，何況有實。是諸眾鳥，皆是阿彌陀佛，欲令法音宣流，變化所作。」

"What do you think, Śāriputra? Those beings who have gone to the animal realms, is it not to be understood in this way? Why is that? Śāriputra, even the names of hells are not there in that Buddha field, nor is there the animal realm, nor the realm of Yama (the lord of death).
Those bird assemblies, created by the Tathāgata Amitāyus with immeasurable lifespan, again chant the sounds of the Dharma. In this way, Śāriputra, the Buddha field is adorned with qualities like those."

舎利弗、汝、この鳥は実にこれ罪報の所生なりと謂うことなかれ。所以は何ん。かの仏国土には三悪趣なければなり。舎利弗、その仏国土には、なお三悪道の名なし。何にいわんや実にこのもろもろの衆鳥あらんや。みなこれ阿弥陀仏、法音をして宣流せしめんと欲して、変化して作したまうところなり。

"Furthermore, Śāriputra, in that Buddha field, a pleasing sound emanates from the rows of palm trees and from the various nets and flags.
Just as, Śāriputra, a pleasing sound arises from a divine musical instrument played with a hundred thousand keys, similarly, in the same way, a pleasing sound emanates from the rows of palm trees and from the various nets and flags.
Upon hearing that sound, mindfulness of the Buddha arises in the minds of those human beings. Mindfulness of the Dharma arises in the minds of those human beings. Mindfulness of the Sangha arises in the minds of those human beings.
In this way, Śāriputra, the Buddha field is adorned with qualities like those."

舎利弗、かの仏国土には、微風、もろもろの宝の行樹および宝の羅網を吹き動かすに、微妙の音を出だす。たとえば百千種の楽の同時に倶に作すがごとし。この音を聞く者、みな自然に念仏・念法・念僧の心を生ず。舎利弗、その仏国土には、かくのごときの功徳荘厳を成就せり。

"What do you think, Śāriputra? For what reason is he called the Tathāgata 'Amitāyus'? Indeed, Śāriputra, the Tathāgata Amitāyus has an immeasurable lifespan for those beings and an immeasurable measure of lifespan.
For this reason, he is called the Tathāgata 'Amitāyus.' And, Śāriputra, the Tathāgata Amitāyus has attained unsurpassed, perfect enlightenment in ten incalculable eons, in all the Buddha fields.
What do you think, Śāriputra? For what reason is he called the Tathāgata 'Amitābha'? Indeed, Śāriputra, the radiance of the Tathāgata Amitābha is unmatched in all the Buddha fields.
For this reason, he is called the Tathāgata 'Amitābha.' And, Śāriputra, the assembly of Śrāvakas of the Tathāgata Amitābha, whose purity is difficult to measure, is immeasurable.
In this way, Śāriputra, the Buddha field is adorned with qualities like those."

　舎利弗、汝が意において云何。かの仏を何のゆえぞ阿弥陀と号する。舎利弗、かの仏の光明、無量にして、十方の国を照らすに、障碍するところなし。このゆえに号して阿弥陀とす。また舎利弗、かの仏の寿命およびその人民も、無量無辺阿僧祇劫なり、かるがゆえに阿弥陀と名づく。舎利弗、阿弥陀仏、成仏より已来、いまに十劫なり。また舎利弗、かの仏に無量無辺の声聞の弟子あり、みな阿羅漢なり。これ算数の能く知るところにあらず。もろもろの菩薩衆もまたまたかくのごとし。舎利弗、かの仏国土には、かくのごときの功徳荘厳を成就せり。

"Furthermore, Śāriputra, those beings born in the Buddha field of the Tathāgata with immeasurable lifespans, pure Bodhisattvas, unretreating, and bound by a single vow, Śāriputra, for those Bodhisattvas, it is not easy to express a measure elsewhere, for it is immeasurable and innumerable. They go by the term 'immeasurable, innumerable.'
Now, Śāriputra, in the Buddha field, there should be devotion from beings. For what reason? Because, Śāriputra, when there is mindfulness, enthusiasm, and dedication from noble beings in such a manner, it is not merely by a trivial cause that beings with immeasurable lifespans are born in the Buddha field of the Tathāgata. If, Śāriputra, a son or daughter of noble lineage, upon hearing the name 'Amitāyus,' sets their mind on it, whether for one night, two nights, three nights, four nights, five nights, six nights, or seven nights, and directs their mind without distraction, when that son or daughter of noble lineage, having determined the time, performs an action, Amitāyus Tathāgata, surrounded by the assembly of disciples and Bodhisattvas, will stand before them. With a serene mind and reversed intentions, they will create the time. Having created the time, they will be reborn in the Buddha field of Amitāyus Tathāgata in the Sukhāvatī, the Land of Bliss.
Therefore, Śāriputra, I say this: If a son or daughter of noble lineage, with a respectful mind, devotes themselves to mindfulness in such a way in the Buddha field of the Tathāgata, be it a son of noble lineage or a daughter of noble lineage, they will be reborn in the Buddha field of the Tathāgata with immeasurable lifespans and surrounded by a community of disciples and Bodhisattvas."

Just as, Śāriputra, I am now praising the inconceivable qualities of those Buddhas, the Blessed Ones, in the same way, Śāriputra, those Buddhas, the Blessed Ones, are also praising my inconceivable qualities. The Dharma was taught by the Bhagavān Śākyamuni, the King of the Śākyas, which is very difficult to perform. It was taught to guide beings to the unsurpassed perfect enlightenment in this world, the realm of beings. It was taught for the sake of beings' welfare, longevity, vision, and the end of afflictions in the eon of cosmic expansion.

舎利弗、もし人ありて、已に願を発し・今願を発し・当に願を発して、阿弥陀仏国に生まれんと欲わん者は、このもろもろの人等、みな阿耨多羅三藐三菩提を退転せざることを得て、かの国土において、もしは已に生じ・もしは今生じ・もしは当に生ぜん。このゆえに舎利弗、もろもろの善男子・善女人、もし信あらん者は、応当に願を発してかの国土に生ずべし。
　舎利弗、我がいま諸仏の不可思議の功徳を称讃するごとく、かの諸仏等も、また、我が不可思議の功徳を称説して、この言を作さく、「釈迦牟尼仏、能く甚難希有の事を為して、能く娑婆国土の五濁悪世、劫濁・見濁・煩悩濁・衆生濁・命濁の中にして、阿耨多羅三藐三菩提を得て、もろもろの衆生のために、この一切世間に信じ難き法を説きたまう」と。

舎利弗、当知我於　五濁悪世、行此難事、得阿耨多羅三藐三菩提、為一切世間、説此難信之法。是為甚難。

That, Śāriputra, which has been taught by me, is also extremely difficult—unattainable by anyone else—in the world, the realm of beings. It is the unsurpassed perfect enlightenment, which is taught for the sake of beings' welfare, longevity, vision, and the end of afflictions, in the eon of cosmic contraction.

舎利弗、当に知るべし。我五濁悪世にして、この難事を行じて、阿耨多羅三藐三菩提を得て、一切世間のために、この難信の法を説く。これをはなはだ難しとす。」

佛說此經已，舍利弗，及諸比丘，一切世間天人阿修羅等，聞佛所說，歡喜信受，作禮而去。

idam avocad bhagavān āttamanāḥ/
āyuṣmāñ śāriputras te ca bhikṣavas te ca bodhisattvāḥ sadevamānuṣāsuragaṁdharvaś ca loko bhagavato bhāsitam abhyanaṁdan /

This, the Blessed One said: Śāriputra, monks, and bodhisattvas, along with gods, humans, asuras, and gandharvas, all rejoiced at the words spoken by the Blessed One.

仏、この経を説きたまうことを已りて、舎利弗およびもろもろの比丘、一切世間の天・人・阿修羅等、仏の所説を聞きたまえて、歓喜し、信受して、礼を作して去りにき。
