35.Title of the Treatise..g2.0f

Chinese

吉祥!第一种福德是布施,第二种是戒律,伟大的是忍辱,不可估量的是精进,不可估量的第二种福德是禅定,智慧是般若,是六度自性的密咒,是从积累两种资粮中产生的。一切有为法完全清净,是指无论有实无实的有为世俗之法都无法沾染的法性,即般若波罗蜜多,是对法界虚空般的胜妙证悟。本来就是自性清净,又舍弃了突如其来的垢染,因此是具有双重清净的“玛”。伟大的行为是,如所有尽所有般了知一切的智慧的普遍遍布的“摩”。这些“摩”字句的表达,是宣说般若波罗蜜多的语句,那是什么呢?就是远离能取所取的二取执着的智慧。第二,从利益的角度广说,以与前文连接的方式略说利益:即使是没有生起菩提心,没有舍弃正法,没有造作五无间罪的初学者,书写、念诵、供养这三者所带来的利益是,文殊师利如来的一百零八殊胜名号等等。因此,如果书写、念诵、供养此经,像这样的人也能在此生增长寿命,死后也能往生到无量寿佛的无量功德的刹土,或者极乐世界等处,那么生起菩提心等等的人,更不用说了,这显示了今生来世的利益。之后,为了说明具有如此利益的陀罗尼咒语就是这个,再次重复显示陀罗尼咒语本身。这可以类推到下面的内容。当时,为了消除聚集的眷属们的疑惑,再次说“当时,无数佛”等九个经题,为了让人们对仅仅从此陀罗尼中,显示和宣说上下利益的情况不产生疑惑,现在不仅是导师释迦牟尼佛宣说,而且是无量佛宣说并加持的缘故。

Oṃ! The first merit is generosity, the second is discipline, the great one is patience, the immeasurable one is diligence, the second immeasurable merit is concentration, which is meditation, and wisdom is prajñā, which is the secret mantra of the nature of the six perfections, arising from the accumulation of the two accumulations. All conditioned phenomena are completely pure, referring to the Dharma-nature that is untainted by any conditioned, conventional Dharma, whether it is substantial or insubstantial, which is the Perfection of Wisdom, perfectly exalted like the Dharma-dhātu, the sky. Since it is originally and naturally pure, and has also abandoned adventitious defilements, it has become the "Ma" with dual purity. The great conduct is the all-pervading wisdom that knows all that exists, the "Mo". These expressions of the "Mo" syllable are words that reveal the Perfection of Wisdom. What is it? It is the wisdom that is free from the duality of grasper and grasped. Secondly, in explaining extensively from the perspective of benefits, the benefits are briefly mentioned in a way that connects with the previous section: Even for beginners who have not generated the mind of enlightenment, have not abandoned the sacred Dharma, and have not committed the five heinous crimes, the benefits of writing, reciting, and offering are the one hundred and eight excellent names of Mañjuśrī Tathāgata, and so on. Therefore, if one writes, recites, and offers this sutra, such a person will also increase their lifespan in this life, and after death, they will be reborn in the immeasurable qualities of the realm of Amitāyus, or in Sukhāvatī and other places. How much more so for those who have generated the mind of enlightenment, etc.? This shows the benefits of this life and the next. After that, in order to explain that the dhāraṇī mantra with such benefits is this, the dhāraṇī mantra itself is repeated and shown again. This can be inferred to the following content as well. At that time, in order to dispel the doubts of those assembled, it is said again, "At that time, countless Buddhas," etc., nine sutra titles. In order to prevent doubts from arising in those who show and teach the benefits above and below from this dhāraṇī alone, it is not only the teacher Śākyamuni Buddha who speaks now, but also because countless Buddhas have spoken and blessed it.

而且还显示了明咒的巨大力量,这成为产生无法估量的利益的原因。因为许多佛陀异口同声地宣说,他们成为了见证者,因此更加令人信服。这些被显示为十方诸佛的形态,八个是按照顺序,东等四方,以及权势者等四个隅方,顺时针旋转。第九个,说的是如恒河沙一样多的亿万佛陀,应该与上方和下方的方向联系起来。任何关于无量寿经的这些等等,显示了十八种利益的类别,这些也就是这些:即使没有生起菩提心,也能恢复耗尽的寿命,能够活到一百岁,甚至更加长寿。这是第一条。任何生起菩提心并安住于菩萨行的人,将永远不会生于地狱、畜生和阎罗王的世界这三恶道中。而且,所谓的不闲暇,是指剩余的不闲暇之处,即生于无想天,生于没有正法的世界,生于边地,持有邪见,以及根不具足者。这里所说的阎罗王的世界是指饿鬼道。因此,不会生于这些不闲暇之处,并且总是忆念着出生,这是第二条。如果具有大慈大悲本性的菩萨,以空性为行境,修持并成就了这个明咒,那么通过书写、供养和尊敬这三者,即使那些没有成就明咒的人,也能获得抄写八万四千法蕴的功德,这是第三条。同样地,对它进行盛大的安住,相当于做了盛大的供养筵席,这是第四条。不仅能净化自己的巨大罪业,而且抄写者和施主,无论造了五无间罪中的哪一种,也能立即得到净化,这是第五条。罪业的堆积如须弥山,积累了各种各样极其众多的罪业,也能得到净化,这是第六条。魔和等等,魔是杀戮者,其他的

Moreover, it also shows the great power of the vidyā-mantra, which becomes the reason for producing immeasurable benefits. Because many Buddhas proclaimed it with one voice, and they became witnesses, it is even more convincing. These are shown as the forms of the Buddhas of the ten directions, the eight are in order, the four directions such as the east, and the four intermediate directions such as the powerful ones, rotating clockwise. The ninth, which speaks of billions of Buddhas as numerous as the sands of ten Ganges rivers, should be associated with the upper and lower directions. Any of these sūtras of immeasurable life, etc., show eighteen categories of benefits, and these are these: even without generating bodhicitta, one can restore exhausted life, be able to live to a hundred years, and even live longer. This is the first point. Anyone who generates bodhicitta and abides in the conduct of a bodhisattva will never be born in the three lower realms of hell, animals, and the world of Yama. Moreover, the so-called unfree states refer to the remaining unfree states, namely, being born in the realm of non-conceptual gods, being born in a world without the true Dharma, being born in border regions, holding wrong views, and having incomplete faculties. Here, the world of Yama refers to the realm of pretas. Therefore, one will not be born in these unfree states and will always remember birth, this is the second point. If a bodhisattva with the nature of great compassion, whose object of practice is emptiness, practices and accomplishes this vidyā-mantra, then by writing, offering, and venerating it, even those who have not accomplished the vidyā-mantra can obtain the merit of copying the eighty-four thousand collections of Dharma, this is the third point. Similarly, performing a grand consecration on it is equivalent to holding a grand feast of offerings, this is the fourth point. Not only can one purify one's own great sins, but also the writer and the patron, no matter which of the five heinous crimes they have committed, can be purified immediately, this is the fifth point. The accumulation of sins is like Mount Sumeru, and even the accumulation of various and extremely numerous sins can be purified, this is the sixth point. Māras and so on, māras are killers, and others

拉(la)拥有权势的主宰是罪恶者,即欲望之神。(注:拉,藏语中指权势、力量)恶魔的种类是掌管恶魔世界的四大天王等神和鬼怪,完全是黑色的一方。那些被他们加持的人类,如野蛮人、罪恶者、拥有力量者等,以及对宣扬无欲之路的人施加伤害者。被称为夜叉和罗刹的,即使不是恶魔的种类,也是凶猛残暴、施加伤害者。总之,不会受到人和非人的伤害,能够避免非时而死。不仅是对修行者个人,也包括眷属、领地等,这是第七个利益。临终时,能够亲眼见到九十九俱胝佛,五种障碍得以清除,将会获得许多三摩地之门。他们欢喜也会授记。成千上万的佛会伸出手,抚摸头顶,给予手的灌顶。之后,如果愿意,就不会往生到不清净的刹土,而是前往清净的佛土,对此毫无疑问,这是第八个利益。四大天王会像影子一样跟随,恒常守护,这是第九个利益。必定不会被其他转世所阻碍,将会往生到无量光佛的极乐世界,这是第十个利益。从这些利益中,消除五无间罪、消除罪恶、消除近害、四大天王守护等,是为初学者和明咒成就者共同宣说的。其他利益主要针对明咒成就者,但初学者也能获得与之相应的果报。利益他人,从恶趣中解脱,书写此法,以及此法所在之处,也如同佛塔一样值得礼拜。见到和触碰到此法具有重大意义,即使向畜生宣读此经,也能使其最终脱离轮回,逐渐成佛。上等根器者仅听闻此经也能解脱,但大多数并非如此,而是逐渐成熟根器而解脱,这是第十一个利益。利益天界,妇女

The master who wields power is the sinful one, the god of desire. The kinds of demons are the four great kings who rule the demon world, along with gods and spirits who are solely on the dark side. Those humans blessed by them, such as barbarians, sinners, and those with power, and those who inflict harm on those who preach the path of non-attachment. Those called Yakshas and Rakshasas, even if they are not of the demon kind, are fierce, cruel, and inflict harm. In short, one will not be harmed by humans or non-humans, and one will be able to avert untimely death. This applies not only to the practitioner alone, but also to their retinue, territory, and so on, this is the seventh benefit. At the time of death, one will directly see the faces of ninety-nine crore Buddhas, the five obscurations will be removed, and one will attain many doors of samadhi. They will rejoice and also give prophecies. Thousands of Buddhas will extend their hands, touch one's head, and bestow the empowerment of the hand. After that, if one wishes, one will not be born in an impure realm, but will go to a pure Buddha-field, there is no doubt about this, this is the eighth benefit. The four great kings will follow like shadows, constantly protecting, this is the ninth benefit. Certainly, without being interrupted by other rebirths, one will be born in the blissful realm of Amitabha, this is the tenth benefit. Among these benefits, the purification of the five heinous crimes, the purification of sins, the removal of near harm, and the protection of the four great kings are taught in common to beginners and mantra practitioners. Although the other benefits are mainly for mantra practitioners, beginners will also receive corresponding results. Benefiting others, liberating them from the lower realms, writing this Dharma, and the place where this Dharma resides, are also worthy of worship like a stupa. Seeing and touching this Dharma is of great significance, and even if this sutra is recited to animals, it will eventually liberate them from samsara and gradually lead them to Buddhahood. Those of superior faculties can be liberated merely by hearing this sutra, but most are not, but gradually mature their faculties and are liberated, this is the eleventh benefit. Benefiting the heavenly realms, women

现在说的不生为实物,这是一种象征。就像女人一样,不生为具有智慧不贞、烦恼众多、受他人支配等等阻碍的事物,这是第十二。获得陀罗尼的人们,书写、念诵、供养这三者的利益是:为了书写、念诵此经等,给予一个喀尔沙巴拿,和普通人以七宝充满三千世界而布施这二者,此功德不会变小,这是第十三。其中,喀尔沙巴拿是金币或者银币,七宝是轮王七宝,或者是因陀罗尼罗、月光水晶、红莲宝、吠琉璃、绿宝石、红珍珠和宝石的精华。同样,普通人供养一切法,和获得陀罗尼者仅仅供养这个也是一样的,这是第十四。依靠此真言,见到真理的那些人,书写、念诵、供养、念诵此真言的利益是:比用七宝供养七佛的舍利塔,在漫长的劫中进行广大供养还要殊胜,这是第十五。此处许多版本中,将“邪见”和“消除”以及“轮回毁灭”分别列出,这是文字错误。仅仅是对于“俱留孙佛(藏文:ཀྲ་ཀུཙྪནྡ་)”这个词,翻译成“邪见断除”和“轮回毁灭”只是翻译上的差别而已。同样,比布施与须弥山同等的珍宝堆还要殊胜,这是第十六。比大海中的水滴还要多的福德聚,这是第十七。比向一切诸佛顶礼和供养还要殊胜,这是第十八。此陀罗尼咒也为了显示是六波罗蜜多的自性,所以说布施的力量等等。也就是依靠布施波罗蜜多的力量,圆满正觉的诸佛是从轮回和涅槃的边际中彻底超脱出来的,获得了不住涅槃的殊胜菩提,人中狮子佛陀所说的布施的力量,是布施达到

Now, it is said that not being born as a real object is a symbol. Like a woman, not being born as something that hinders wisdom, is unchaste, has many afflictions, is controlled by others, etc., this is the twelfth. The benefits of those who have obtained the Dharani writing, reciting, and offering these three are: For the sake of writing, reciting this sutra, etc., giving one Karshapana, and an ordinary person filling three thousand worlds with seven treasures and giving alms, these two, this merit will not become small, this is the thirteenth. Among them, Karshapana is a gold coin or a silver coin, the seven treasures are the seven treasures of the wheel-turning king, or Indranila, moon crystal, red lotus treasure, Beryl, emerald, red pearl and the essence of gemstones. Similarly, an ordinary person offering all dharmas, and those who have obtained the Dharani only offering this are the same, this is the fourteenth. Relying on this mantra, those who have seen the truth, the benefits of writing, reciting, offering, and reciting this mantra are: It is more excellent than offering the relics of the seven Buddhas with seven treasures in the stupa, and making extensive offerings for a long kalpa, this is the fifteenth. Here, in many versions, listing "wrong view" and "elimination" and "destruction of samsara" separately is a textual error. Only for the word "Krakucchanda (Tibetan: ཀྲ་ཀུཙྪནྡ་)", translating it as "eliminating wrong views" and "destroying samsara" is just a difference in translation. Similarly, it is more excellent than giving a pile of treasures equal to Mount Sumeru, this is the sixteenth. More merit than the drops of water in the ocean, this is the seventeenth. It is more excellent than prostrating and offering to all Buddhas, this is the eighteenth. This Dharani mantra is also to show that it is the nature of the six perfections, so it says the power of giving, etc. That is, relying on the power of the perfection of giving, the perfectly enlightened Buddhas are completely liberated from the boundaries of samsara and nirvana, and have attained the supreme Bodhi of non-abiding nirvana, the power of giving spoken by the lion among men, the Buddha, is the giving reaching
