Visuddhimagga XIII-31

Vitthārato pana sadāpi ekaṃ buddhakhettaṃ vinassati.

详细的说，则常常说此三种坏为一佛剎土消灭。

Ñ(XIII,31): In breadth it is always one of the Buddha-fields that is destroyed.

Buddhakhettaṃ nāma tividhaṃ hoti – jātikhettaṃ, āṇākhettaṃ, visayakhettañca.

佛的剎土有三种：诞生剎土、威令剎土、境界剎土。

Ñ: For the Buddha-fields are of three kinds, that is, the field of birth, the field of authority, and the field of scope.

Tattha jātikhettaṃ dasasahassacakkavāḷapariyantaṃ hoti. Yaṃ tathāgatassa paṭisandhigahaṇādīsu kampati.

此中，「诞生剎土」──是如来入胎等时所震动的一万轮围世间。

Ñ: Herein, the field of birth is limited by the ten thousand world-spheres that quaked on the Perfect One's taking rebirth-linking, and so on.

Āṇākhettaṃ koṭisatasahassacakkavāḷapariyantaṃ, yattha ratanasuttaṃ (khu. pā. 6.1 ādayo) khandhaparittaṃ (cūḷava. 251; a. ni. 4.67) dhajaggaparittaṃ (saṃ. ni. 1.249) āṭānāṭiyaparittaṃ (dī. ni. 3.275 ādayo) moraparittanti (jā. 1.2.17-18) imesaṃ parittānaṃ ānubhāvo vattati.

「威令剎土」──是百千俱胝的轮围世间，是他的宝经、蕴护咒、幢顶护咒、稻竿护咒、孔雀护咒16等的护咒17威力所能保护的。

Ñ: The field of authority is limited by the hundred thousand million world-spheres where the following safeguards (paritta) are efficacious, that is, the Ratana Sutta (Sn. p.39), the Khandha Paritta (Vin.ii,109; A.ii,72), the Dhajagga Paritta (S.i,218) the Āṭānāṭiya Paritta (D.iii,194), and the Mora Paritta (Jā.ii,33).

Visayakhettaṃ anantamaparimāṇaṃ.

「境界剎土」──是无边无量的世间。

Ñ: The field of scope is boundless, immeasurable:

Yaṃ ‘‘yāvatā vā pana ākaṅkheyyā’’ti (a. ni. 3.81) vuttaṃ, yattha yaṃ yaṃ tathāgato ākaṅkhati, taṃ taṃ jānāti.

或说「以愿望为限」，这便是说，如来所愿望之处都能知道。

Ñ: 'As far as he wishes' (A.i,228) it is said. The Perfect One knows anything anywhere that he wishes.

Evametesu tīsu buddhakhettesu ekaṃ āṇākhettaṃ vinassati.

如是在这三种佛的剎土中，（坏劫是）一威令剎土的灭亡。

Ñ: So one of these three Buddha-fields, that is to say, the field of authority is destroyed.

Tasmiṃ pana vinassante jātikhettampi vinaṭṭhameva hoti.

在它灭亡时，则诞生剎土亦必灭亡。

Ñ: But when that is being destroyed, the field of birth also gets destroyed.

Vinassantañca ekatova vinassati, saṇṭhahantampi ekato saṇṭhahati.

因为它们灭亡必同时灭亡，成立亦必同时成立之故。

Ñ: And that happens simultaneously; and when it is reconstituted, that happens simultaneously (cf. MA.iv,l 14).
