第二釋題目。若依別本,有其七名:一名一切眾生斷五逆業障報障煩惱障修習慈心與彌勒共行經。二名一切眾生聞彌勒佛名必勉五濁世不隨惡道經。三名破惡惡業心如蓮華定見彌勒佛經。四名慈心不食肉經。五名釋迦牟尼以衣為信經。六名有聞佛名者決定得免八難經。七名彌勒成佛經。雖有七名,而第七為本,故今此經用第七名。此中彌勒菩薩坐龍華下,見其寶臺毀壞,即修無常想示得正覺,故名成佛。成佛之經故,依主釋。恐濫天等所說故,故名佛說也。

Second, explaining the title. According to another recension, there are seven titles: First, *The Sūtra on All Sentient Beings Severing the Karmic Obscurations of the Five Iniquities, the Retributive Obscurations, and the Afflictive Obscurations, Cultivating Loving-Kindness, and Walking Together with Maitreya*. Second, *The Sūtra on All Sentient Beings Hearing Maitreya Buddha's Name and Being Assuredly Delivered from the World of Five Turbidities and Not Falling into the Evil Paths*. Third, *The Sūtra on Destroying Evil Karmic Deeds, Having a Mind Like a Lotus, and Definitely Seeing Maitreya Buddha*. Fourth, *The Sūtra on Loving-Kindness and Not Eating Meat*. Fifth, *The Sūtra on Śākyamuni Taking the Robe as a Token of Faith*. Sixth, *The Sūtra on Those Who Hear the Buddha's Name Definitely Escaping the Eight Difficult Conditions*. Seventh, *The Sūtra on Maitreya's Attainment of Buddhahood*. Although there are seven titles, the seventh is the root; therefore, this present sūtra employs the seventh title. Herein, Bodhisattva Maitreya sits beneath the dragon-flower tree, sees his jeweled tower destroyed, immediately cultivates the notion of impermanence, and manifests the attainment of correct enlightenment; hence it is called "Attainment of Buddhahood." Because it is the sūtra of attaining Buddhahood, it is a genitive compound (tatpuruṣa). For fear that it might be conflated with what devas and others have spoken, it is called "Spoken by the Buddha."
