妙法蓮華經 信解品第四（48）

The Lotus Sutra Chapter IV Willing Acceptance

I am overjoyed at having obtained

Such an unprecedented experience!

甚大歡喜，得未曾有。

窮子頓時驚喜萬分，歎之爲亘古未有的樂事！

The Buddha is also like this.

He knew that we yearned for the inferior teaching,

So he never taught us

That we should become buddhas.

佛亦如是，知我樂小，未曾說言：『汝等作佛。』

摩诃迦葉話題一轉，又說：“您釋迦牟尼佛也同那位長者一樣，您知道我們隻喜歡小乘之法，所以直未說我們也可作佛，

Excerpted from chapter ten of The Lotus Sutra

节选自《法华经》
