文殊菩萨赴宴
阿阇世王在修行的过程中产生很多疑问，他知道文殊菩萨有无限的智能，想请他帮助自己解决疑难，于是邀请文殊菩萨到王宫吃饭。
文殊菩萨看他非常诚恳，便准备第二天亲自带领众弟子和许多天人到王宫赴宴。阿阇世王听到菩萨同意赴宴，非常高兴地问：
「请问文殊菩萨，明天有多少人到场？我好准备斋饭。」
这时，文殊菩萨身边的舍利弗尊者代替文殊菩萨回答：
「差不多五百人。」
国王回到宫中，马上下令各方开始准备，里里外外都忙碌了起来。
第二天，国王及群臣在宫外相迎贵宾，远远看见文殊菩萨一行人慢慢走来，人数大概有二万二千五百人。
国王看到吃了一惊，心想：「这下糟糕了，我只准备五百人的斋食，今天却来了这么多人，这可怎么办？」
正在发愁的时候，忽然一个名叫「休息心」的天王和一个名叫「金毗」的仙人来到国王旁边，告诉国王说：
「国王请不用发愁，文殊菩萨无边的法力，是深不可测的！」
国王听了他们的话，心中才稍微安心，赶快将众人迎入宫中。
国王等大家都坐好，就向文殊菩萨行礼，表示内心的欢迎，并说：
「请众人原谅，宫中准备的饮食器具甚少，我已经吩咐马上补办，请大家稍微等一下。」
文殊菩萨对国王说：「你应办的事都办了，用不着再费心了，就请你休息一会儿吧！」
只见文殊菩萨轻轻念了声咒语，一个个金钵、银钵、铜钵带着光辉，像排队一样整齐的从天而降。然后文殊菩萨对国王说：
「现在可以分派饭食了。」
分盛饭食的时候，国王惊奇的发现，每当饭盛出一钵后，盛出的饭又满起来，好象没有盛饭一样。等到二万多人都分到斋饭以后，准备好的饭一点儿也没减少，还是像之前一样多。
吃完饭后，众菩萨把钵向天空一掷，钵便自动悬在半空中。等到文殊菩萨向国王讲了一段佛法之后，这些钵才忽然不见，不知去向。
用完斋饭后，国王请文殊菩萨为众生解答疑难。文殊菩萨讲解精妙入神，众人听得个个法喜充满，感悟颇深，而阿阇世王更是获益匪浅。
最后阿阇世王佩服地说：「文殊菩萨果然是充满智慧的圣人啊！」他对佛法的疑惑，也因此一扫而空了。

Dharma Talk
Maṇjuśrī Bodhisattva Attends the Banquet
While practicing the path, King Ajātaśatru gave rise to many doubts. Knowing that Maṇjuśrī Bodhisattva possessed immeasurable wisdom, he wished to request his assistance in resolving these questions. Therefore, he invited Maṇjuśrī Bodhisattva to the royal palace for a meal.
Seeing the king’s sincerity, Maṇjuśrī Bodhisattva agreed that on the following day he would personally lead his disciples and many devas to attend the banquet. Hearing that the Bodhisattva had consented, King Ajātaśatru asked joyfully,
“Revered Maṇjuśrī Bodhisattva, how many will be in attendance tomorrow, that I may prepare sufficient vegetarian offerings?”
At that moment, the Venerable Śāriputra, standing beside Maṇjuśrī Bodhisattva, answered on his behalf,
“Approximately five hundred.”
The king returned to the palace and at once ordered preparations to begin in every direction. Inside and outside, all were busily engaged.
On the following day, the king and his ministers waited outside the palace to welcome the honored guests. From afar they saw Maṇjuśrī Bodhisattva and his retinue slowly approaching, numbering about twenty-two thousand five hundred.
The king was greatly startled and thought to himself,“This is disastrous. I prepared food for only five hundred people, yet today so many have arrived. What is to be done?”
While he was in distress, suddenly a deva-king named “Resting Mind” and an immortal named “Golden Pibhi” appeared beside him and said,
“Great King, do not be troubled. The boundless spiritual power of Maṇjuśrī Bodhisattva is unfathomable.”
Hearing their words, the king felt somewhat reassured and quickly ushered the assembly into the palace.
When everyone had taken their seats, the king bowed to Maṇjuśrī Bodhisattva to express his heartfelt welcome, saying,
“Please forgive us. The utensils and provisions prepared in the palace are few. I have already ordered additional preparations. Kindly wait a little while.”
Maṇjuśrī Bodhisattva said to the king,“You have already done what should be done. There is no need to trouble yourself further. Please rest for a moment.”
Then Maṇjuśrī Bodhisattva softly uttered a mantra. Immediately, golden bowls, silver bowls, and bronze bowls, radiant with light, descended from the heavens in orderly array, as though lining up one after another. The Bodhisattva then said to the king,“You may now distribute the food.”
As the food was served, the king observed with astonishment that each time a bowl was filled, the food in the container became full again, as though none had been taken. Even after more than twenty thousand people had received their meal, the prepared food had not diminished in the slightest, remaining just as abundant as before.
After the meal, the Bodhisattvas tossed their bowls into the sky, where they remained suspended in midair. When Maṇjuśrī Bodhisattva had finished expounding a portion of the Buddha-Dharma to the king, the bowls suddenly disappeared without trace.
When the banquet was concluded, the king requested Maṇjuśrī Bodhisattva to resolve his doubts for the sake of all beings. The Bodhisattva’s exposition was subtle and profound, entering deeply into principle and meaning. All who listened were filled with Dharma-joy and gained deep insight, and King Ajātaśatru himself benefited beyond measure.
At last, King Ajātaśatru said with reverence,
“Maṇjuśrī Bodhisattva is truly a sage filled with wisdom!”
Thus his doubts regarding the Buddha-Dharma were completely dispelled.
