须摩供缕授记作佛
过去，佛陀在舍卫国祇树给孤独园弘法时，城中有一位裁缝师，名为须摩。须摩家贫如洗，生活非常困苦，只靠着替人缝制衣服维持简单的生计。
这样子的生活不知过了多久，一天，须摩突然心生感慨：「我这辈子会这么贫穷，都是因为过去不行布施的结果。这样的日子实在太苦了，如果我这一生不努力广修供养，来世只会更加穷困潦倒！」一想到此，须摩打从心底下定决心要更加努力，即使所拥有的东西微薄不已，也都要尽己所能布施供养，以累积福德。
因此，须摩拿着家中仅剩的钱财，到城中买了一些缕线，正巧，在回家的路上，远远地就看到仪容庄严的佛陀，带领诸大比丘来到城中乞食。须摩心生欢喜，两步并作一步地来到佛陀面前，将手中新买的缕线，以最至诚的心供养给佛陀。慈悲的佛陀接过缕线后，随即在大众前，用这捆线缝补自己衣服上的破洞。此情此景，令须摩感动莫名，于是欢喜地顶礼佛陀，并说了一首偈子：
「所施虽微少，值大良福田，奉施世尊已，
誓愿后成佛。过度群萌类，其数不可量，
大威德世尊，当证知此事。」
佛陀为须摩授记，说道：「你因一心至诚供养的功德，来世当得作佛，号为十綖，度脱无量众生。」
须摩听到佛陀的授记，信心更加坚定，并在佛前发下大愿：「愿此供养功德，于未来世中，为盲冥众生，作其眼目；无依靠者，为作归依；无救护者，为作救护；无解脱者，为作解脱；无安隐者，为作安隐；未入涅盘者，令得涅盘」。
佛陀面露微笑，霎时五道光芒自佛陀口中绽放，祥光右绕佛身三匝，最后回归于顶门之中。此时阿难请示佛陀：「是什么因缘，让世尊露颜微笑？」佛陀于是将须摩供养缕线，将来必当成佛的因缘告诉大众，诸大比丘听完，心生欢喜，信受奉行。

Dharma Talk
Sumā Offers Thread and Receives a Prediction of Buddhahood
In the past, when the Buddha was teaching the Dharma at Jetavana, Anāthapiṇḍika’s Grove in Sāvatthī, there lived in the city a tailor named Sumā. Sumā was extremely poor and lived in great hardship, relying only on sewing clothes for others to maintain a simple livelihood.
No one knew how long such a life had continued. One day, Sumā suddenly felt deeply moved and thought, “The reason I am so poor in this life is because I did not practice generosity in the past. Such a life is truly painful. If in this lifetime I do not strive to make offerings and cultivate merit, in future lives I will only become even more destitute.” With this thought, Sumā made a firm resolve from the depths of his heart to work even harder. Even if what he possessed was extremely meager, he would still give according to his ability to accumulate merit and virtue.
Therefore, Sumā took the little money left at home and went into the city to buy some thread. By coincidence, on the way back home, he saw from a distance the dignified Buddha leading many great bhikkhus into the city on alms round. Sumā felt great joy, hurried forward, and with the utmost sincerity offered the newly purchased thread in his hands to the Buddha. The compassionate Buddha accepted the thread and, before the assembly, used it to mend a tear in his own robe. Witnessing this scene, Sumā was deeply moved. Joyfully he bowed to the Buddha and recited a verse:
“Though what is given is small, it meets a field of great merit.
Having offered it to the World-Honored One,
I vow that in the future I shall become a Buddha.
I will ferry across countless living beings,
Their numbers beyond measure.
Greatly majestic World-Honored One,
May you bear witness to this.”
The Buddha gave Sumā a prediction, saying, “Because of the merit of your single-minded and sincere offering, in a future life you will become a Buddha, named Shi-Yan, liberating immeasurable beings.”
Upon hearing the Buddha’s prediction, Sumā’s faith grew even firmer, and before the Buddha he made a great vow: “May the merit of this offering, in future lives, become eyes for beings who are blind in darkness; a refuge for those without refuge; protection for those without protection; liberation for those without liberation; safety for those without safety; and for those not yet entered into Nirvana, may they attain Nirvana.”
The Buddha smiled, and at that moment five-colored rays of light radiated from his mouth. The auspicious light circled the Buddha three times to the right and finally returned into the crown of his head. At that time Ānanda asked the Buddha, “What causes the World-Honored One to smile?” The Buddha then explained to the assembly the causes and conditions of Sumā’s offering of thread and his future attainment of Buddhahood. After hearing this, the great bhikkhus felt great joy, accepted it with faith, and practiced accordingly.
