Umbrellas, clothes, umbrellas, banners, and flags are offered as service. To be a lama. To be respected. To be offered. Whichever son of a lineage or daughter of a lineage studies, that one will manifestly and completely awaken to unsurpassed, perfectly complete enlightenment. Manifestly awaken to enlightenment. Will manifestly awaken to enlightenment, this is the second praise. Kauśika, if one sentient being is placed in the fruit of stream-entry, then their merit will increase greatly, but not if all the sentient beings of Jambudvipa are placed on the path of the ten virtuous actions. Why is that? Kauśika, the sentient beings placed on the path of the ten virtuous actions are not completely liberated from the hell realms, the birth places of animals, and the world of Yama. Because being placed in the fruit of stream-entry completely liberates from all the bad migrations, this is the third praise. Similarly, if one sentient being is placed in the fruit of once-returner, then their merit will increase greatly, but not if all the sentient beings of Jambudvipa are placed on the path of the ten virtuous actions, this is the fourth praise. Similarly, if one sentient being is placed in the fruit of non-returner, then their merit will increase greatly, but not if all the sentient beings of Jambudvipa are placed on the path of the ten virtuous actions, this is the fifth praise. Similarly, if one sentient being is placed in the state of an Arhat, then their merit will increase greatly, but not if all the sentient beings of Jambudvipa are placed on the path of the ten virtuous actions, this is the sixth praise. Similarly, if one sentient being is placed in self-enlightenment, then their merit will increase greatly, but not if all the sentient beings of Jambudvipa are placed on the path of the ten virtuous actions, this is the seventh praise. If a son of a lineage or a daughter of a lineage places all the sentient beings of Jambudvipa in the fruit of stream-entry, it is not as good as another son of a lineage or daughter of a lineage placing one sentient being in unsurpassed, perfectly complete

如果将众生安置于菩提，那么他的福德会更加增上。那是因为什么呢？这是因为他进入了不间断佛陀之道的意义中，这被称为第八赞。同样，如果有人将赡部洲（南赡部洲）的所有众生安置于一来果，不如另有人将一个众生安置于无上正等正觉，那么他的福德会更加增上，这被称为第九赞。这些是赞叹。同样，如果有人将赡部洲（南赡部洲）的所有众生安置于不来果，不如另有人将一个众生安置于无上正等正觉，那么他的福德会更加增上，这被称为第一敬。同样，如果有人将赡部洲（南赡部洲）的所有众生安置于阿罗汉果位，不如另有人将一个众生安置于无上正等正觉，那么他的福德会更加增上，这被称为第二敬。同样，善男子或善女子，如果有人将赡部洲（南赡部洲）的所有众生安置于自生菩提，不如另有善男子或善女子将一个众生安置于无上正等正觉，那么他的福德会更加增上。那是因为什么呢？因为将一个众生安置于无上正等正觉，那是进入了不间断佛陀种姓的意义中。那是因为什么呢？ 乔尸迦，菩提萨埵所生之处，乃至于如来、应供、正等觉之间。乔尸迦，因此应当如此理解，世间天、人、阿修罗等都应当供养菩提萨埵，这被称为第三敬。乔尸迦，此外，善男子或善女子，如果有人将赡部洲（南赡部洲）的所有众生从十善业道安置到独觉果位，乔尸迦啊。

If one places beings in Bodhi, then his merit will greatly increase. Why is that? It is because he has entered into the meaning of not cutting off the lineage of the Buddhas, which is called the eighth praise. Similarly, if someone places all the beings of Jambudvipa (the Southern Continent) in the fruit of once-returner, it is better than another person placing one being in unsurpassed, perfect and complete enlightenment, then his merit will greatly increase, which is called the ninth praise. These are praises. Similarly, if someone places all the beings of Jambudvipa (the Southern Continent) in the fruit of non-returner, it is better than another person placing one being in unsurpassed, perfect and complete enlightenment, then his merit will greatly increase, which is called the first reverence. Similarly, if someone places all the beings of Jambudvipa (the Southern Continent) in the state of Arhat, it is better than another person placing one being in unsurpassed, perfect and complete enlightenment, then his merit will greatly increase, which is called the second reverence. Similarly, son of good family or daughter of good family, if someone places all the beings of Jambudvipa (the Southern Continent) in self-born Bodhi, it is better than another son of good family or daughter of good family placing one being in unsurpassed, perfect and complete enlightenment, then his merit will greatly increase. Why is that? Because placing one being in unsurpassed, perfect and complete enlightenment, that is entering into the meaning of not cutting off the Buddha's lineage. Why is that? Kaushika, the place where Bodhisattvas arise is between the Tathagata, the Arhat, the perfectly and completely enlightened Buddha. Kaushika, therefore it should be understood in this way, the world with gods, humans, and asuras should worship the Bodhisattvas, which is called the third reverence. Kaushika, furthermore, son of good family or daughter of good family, if someone places all the beings of Jambudvipa (the Southern Continent) from the path of the ten virtuous actions to the state of Pratyekabuddha, Kaushika.

怎么想的？ 种姓之子或种姓之女的福德，以此因缘会增长吗？ 帝释天禀告说： 世尊，会增长。 善逝，会增长。 世尊开示说： 乔尸迦，相比之下，无论是种姓之子还是种姓之女，如果书写这部般若波罗蜜多，并制成经卷，年幼时书写，或者为了诵读而赠予他人，福德会更加增长。 那是什么原因呢？ 因为这部般若波罗蜜多广为阐述了无漏之法。 凡是学习并正确无误地进入种姓之子或种姓之女，就会进入，将要进入。 直至获得阿罗汉果位，会获得，将要获得。 获得正等觉，会获得，将要获得。 菩萨摩诃萨们正确无误地进入，就会进入，将要进入。 证得无上圆满正等觉，会现证成佛，将要现证成佛。 乔尸迦，什么是那些无漏之法呢？ 比如，波罗蜜多，三十七道品，四圣谛，四无量，四禅定，无色定，八解脱，九次第定，空性，无相，无愿，神通，内空，外空，内外空，无事物自性空性，直至一切三摩地，一切陀罗尼门，如来十力，四无畏，四无碍解，十八不共佛法，直至无量佛法，如来阿罗汉正等觉们都从这部般若波罗蜜多中广为阐述。 乔尸迦，以此等方式，无论是种姓之子还是种姓之女

如果哪个女儿书写这部般若波罗蜜多，并制成经卷，为了书写和读诵而给予他人，要知道她的福德会更加增多。那是什么缘故呢？ कौशिका (Kauśika， कौशिका， 憍尸迦， कौशिका)！因为这部般若波罗蜜多广泛地阐述了一切法，由于它们的存在，伟大的刹帝利种姓、伟大的婆罗门种姓、伟大的居士种姓都存在。四大天王族的诸神存在。三十三天、夜摩天、兜率天、乐变化天、他化自在天、梵众天、梵辅天、大梵天，以及无想无非想处天之间的诸神都存在。一切波罗蜜多都存在。三十七道品存在。诸圣谛、八解脱、九次第定都存在。空性、无相、无愿、六神通都存在。一切空性、一切三摩地、一切陀罗尼门都存在。如来的十力、四无畏、四无碍解、十八不共佛法都存在。 大慈、大悲存在。一切种智存在。入流果存在。一来果、不来果、阿罗汉果、独觉佛都存在。如来、应供、正等觉佛都存在。 कौशिका (Kauśika， कौशिका， 憍尸迦， कौशिका)！且不说安置赡部洲的众生直至自菩提之间。 कौशिका (Kauśika， कौशिका， 憍尸迦， कौशिका)！如果哪个善男子或善女子，将四大洲世界的众生，安置于十善业道，直至自菩提之间。 कौशिका (Kauśika， कौशिका， 憍尸迦， कौशिका)！你认为如何？那个善男子或善女子的福德会因此增多吗？ 帝释天回答说：世尊，很多。善逝，很多。 世尊说： कौशिका (Kauśika， कौशिका， 憍尸迦， कौशिका)！那比那个善男子

If any daughter writes down this Perfection of Wisdom and makes it into a book, and gives it to others for the sake of writing and reading, know that her merit will increase greatly. Why is that? Kauśika! Because this Perfection of Wisdom extensively explains all dharmas, and because of their existence, the great Kshatriya castes, the great Brahmin castes, and the great householder castes exist. The gods of the four great kingly lineages exist. The Thirty-three, the Yama, the Tuṣita, the Nirmāṇarati, the Paranirmita-vaśavartin, the Brahma-pāriṣadya, the Brahma-purohita, the Mahābrahmā, and the gods between the realm of neither perception nor non-perception exist. All perfections exist. The thirty-seven factors of enlightenment exist. The noble truths, the eight liberations, and the nine sequential meditative absorptions exist. Emptiness, signlessness, wishlessness, and the six superknowledges exist. All emptinesses, all samādhis, and all dhāraṇī gates exist. The ten powers of the Tathāgata, the four fearlessnesses, the four analytical knowledges, and the eighteen unshared qualities of a Buddha exist. Great love and great compassion exist. Omniscience itself exists. The stream-enterer exists. The once-returner, the non-returner, the Arhat, and the Pratyekabuddhas exist. The Tathāgata, Arhat, Perfectly Awakened Buddhas exist. Kauśika! Let alone arranging the sentient beings of Jambudvīpa up to self-awakening. Kauśika! If any son or daughter were to thoroughly arrange as many sentient beings as there are in the four-continent world into the path of the ten virtuous actions, up to self-awakening. Kauśika! What do you think? Would the merit of that son or daughter increase greatly because of that? Indra replied: Blessed One, much so. Well-gone One, much so. The Blessed One said: Kauśika! Even more than that, the son
