一切智光明仙人慈心因緣不食肉經 1.10

1.10

「時彼國中有大婆羅門，名一切智光明，聰慧多智，廣博眾經；世間技藝，六十四能，無不綜練。聞佛出世，說《慈三昧光大悲海雲經》，即以世間一切義論難詰彼佛，盡其辭辯而不能屈。即便信伏為佛弟子，尋發阿耨多羅三藐三菩提心，而作是言：『我今於佛法中，誦持《大慈三昧光大悲海雲經》，以此功德，願於未來過算數劫，必得成佛而號彌勒。』於是捨家即入深山，長髮為相，修行梵行；八千歲中，少欲無事，乞食自活，誦持是經，一心除亂。

"At that time in that country there was a great Brahmin named Sarvajñaprabha (Light of Omniscience), intelligent and of vast wisdom, well-versed in numerous scriptures; among worldly arts and the sixty-four skills, there were none he had not mastered. Hearing that a Buddha had appeared in the world and was preaching the Sūtra of the Ocean Cloud of Great Compassion and Light of the Loving-Kindness Samādhi, he immediately challenged and interrogated that Buddha with all worldly treatises and arguments, exhausting his eloquence without being able to refute him. Thereupon, in faithful submission, he became a disciple of the Buddha, promptly generated the mind of anuttarā-samyak-saṃbodhi, and made this statement: 'Now, within the Buddha's Dharma, I recite and uphold the Sūtra of the Ocean Cloud of Great Compassion and Light of the Loving-Kindness Samādhi. By this merit, I vow that after passing through incalculable kalpas in the future, I will surely attain Buddhahood and be named Maitreya.' Thereupon he abandoned his household, entered deep into the mountains, took long hair as his sign, and cultivated the holy life (brahmacarya); for eight thousand years, with few desires and no worldly affairs, he sustained himself by begging for food, recited and upheld this sūtra, and single-mindedly eliminated distraction.
