Thus have I heard: | 闻如是： |
At one time, the Buddha was at Anāthapiṇḍada's Park in the Jeta Grove near Śrāvastī. | 一时，佛在舍卫国祇树给孤独园。 |
At that time, the World-Honored One told the bhikṣus, "The Tathāgata, having appeared in the world, has four kinds of fearlessness. Having attained these four kinds of fearlessness, the Tathāgata is unattached in the world and roars the lion's roar and turns the wheel of the Dharma in the great assembly. | 尔时，世尊告诸比丘：「如来出世有四无所畏，如来得此四无所畏，便于世间无所著，在大众中而师子吼转于梵轮。 |
What are the four? I now have accomplished this Dharma. Even if śramaṇas, brāhmaṇas, Māra, or Māra's followers, or crawling and wriggling creatures, in the great assembly say that I have not accomplished this Dharma, that is not so. In this I attain fearlessness. This is the first fearlessness. | 「云何为四？我今已办此法，正使沙门、婆罗门、魔、若魔天，蜎飞蠕动之类，在大众中言我不成此法，此事不然。于中得无所畏，是为第一无所畏。 |
As I am today, my taints are exhausted and I no longer accept a womb. If there are śramaṇas, brāhmaṇas, or sentient beings who in the great assembly say that my taints are not yet exhausted, that is not so. This is called the second fearlessness. | 「如我今日诸漏已尽，更不受胎。若有沙门、婆罗门，众生之类，在大众中言我诸漏未尽者，此事不然。是谓第二无所畏。 |
I am now free from the Dharma of ignorance and darkness. If I want to return to the Dharma of ignorance and darkness, there is no such place. If there are śramaṇas, brāhmaṇas, Māra, or Māra's followers, or sentient beings who in the great assembly say that I return to the Dharma of ignorance and darkness, that is not so. This is called the Tathāgata's third fearlessness. | 「我今已离愚暗法，欲使还就愚暗之法者，终无此处。若复沙门、婆罗门、魔、若魔天，众生之类，在大众中言我还就愚暗之法者，此事不然。是谓如来三无所畏。 |
The noble ones' Dharma of liberation and the end of suffering, if I want to not liberate and not end suffering, there is no such place. If there are śramaṇas, brāhmaṇas, Māra, or Māra's followers, or sentient beings who in the great assembly say that the Tathāgata does not end suffering, that is not so. This is called the Tathāgata's fourth fearlessness. | 「诸贤圣出要之法，尽于苦际，欲使不出要者，终无此处。若有沙门、婆罗门、魔、若魔天，众生之类，在大众中言如来不尽苦际者，此事不然。是谓如来四无所畏。 |
"Thus, bhikṣus! The Tathāgata's four fearlessnesses, in the great assembly, can roar like a lion and turn the Dharma wheel. Thus, bhikṣus! One should seek the means to accomplish the four fearlessnesses. Thus, bhikṣus! One should practice in this way." | 「如是，比丘！如来四无所畏，在大众之中，能师子吼转于梵轮。如是，比丘！当求方便，成四无所畏。如是，诸比丘！当作是学。」 |
At that time, the bhikṣus, having heard the Buddha's teaching, joyfully received and practiced it. | 尔时，诸比丘闻佛所说，欢喜奉行。 |
