心中想著,要使如是之多的有情,皆于无余有余涅槃界中,完全寂灭。心中想著,要使无数无量之有情,皆于无余有余涅槃界中,完全寂灭。如是思维广大,披挂大铠甲故,名为菩萨摩诃萨,如是宣说。彼如是思惟,我亦当圆满布施波罗蜜多。一切有情亦当安置于布施波罗蜜多,如是乃至我亦当安置于十八不共佛法。一切有情亦当安置于十八不共佛法,如是发心。具寿舍利子,仅此尔许,即名菩萨摩诃萨披挂大铠甲,如是乃至是说串习无间断之广大心,谓自身亦安住于六度等十八不共佛法,且令一切有情亦安住于彼等法,以具足广大心之披挂大铠甲故,名为菩萨摩诃萨,如是宣说。具寿舍利子,复次菩萨摩诃萨于般若波罗蜜多行时,凡其所施之布施,非以声闻及独觉相应之心而施,乃以与一切种智相应之心而施,如是乃至上方世界,如恒河沙数之诸佛薄伽梵,亦赞叹称扬,名号普闻,谓于某某世界,有如是菩萨摩诃萨披挂大铠甲者,成熟有情,清净佛土,以神通而嬉戏,作如是语,随声称赞。

Thinking, "I will cause this many sentient beings to be completely extinguished in the realm of nirvana without remainder." Thinking, "I will cause countless immeasurable sentient beings to be completely extinguished in the realm of nirvana without remainder." Thus, because of thinking so broadly and wearing great armor, he is called a Bodhisattva Mahasattva, as it is taught. He thinks thus: "I also shall perfect the perfection of generosity. All sentient beings also shall be placed in the perfection of generosity," and so forth, "I also shall be placed in the eighteen unshared qualities of the Buddhas. All sentient beings also shall be placed in the eighteen unshared qualities of the Buddhas," thus generating the mind. Venerable Sharadvatiputra, just this much is called a Bodhisattva Mahasattva wearing great armor, and so forth, is to show the great mind of uninterrupted practice, namely, that oneself also abides in the six perfections and so forth, up to the eighteen unshared qualities of the Buddhas, and all sentient beings also are placed in those dharmas, because of wearing the great armor of possessing a great mind, he is called a Bodhisattva Mahasattva, as it is taught. Venerable Sharadvatiputra, furthermore, when a Bodhisattva Mahasattva practices the perfection of wisdom, whatever generosity he gives, he does not give with the mind associated with Hearers and Solitary Buddhas, but he gives with the mind associated with all-knowingness, and so forth, the Buddhas, the Bhagavat, residing in the world realms of the upper direction, as many as the sands of the Ganges, also praise and extol, and make the name completely proclaimed, saying, "In such and such a world realm, there is such a Bodhisattva Mahasattva wearing great armor, who ripens sentient beings, purifies the Buddha-field, and sports with miraculous powers," making such a sound and praising accordingly.

哦,到此为止是显示广大之修行,在圆满行持六度时,为了证明在一一度中也包含六度,所以说是披上了广大修行的盔甲。其中,具寿舍利弗之子,此外菩萨摩诃萨在行持般若波罗蜜多时,从名为布施完全施舍开始,具寿舍利弗之子,当菩萨摩诃萨以具足一切种智的作意,不执著于那些度时。应当了知菩萨摩诃萨披上了行持般若波罗蜜多的广大盔甲,到此为止是显示在圆满成办布施度时,披上了圆满成办六度的盔甲。其中,布施也有三种,法布施、无畏布施和财物布施。其中,法布施是宣说圣法的词句和意义,以及书写成书本进行布施等。无畏布施是从可能成为生命障碍等的怖畏中救护。财物布施是对于具有的财物如财物和谷物等,以三轮清净的方式进行施舍。如是,在完全施舍布施时,布施的果实也不仅仅是为了自己而回向,而是与一切有情共同,回向于无上正等觉,这是完全施舍布施的布施度的盔甲。同样,在完全施舍布施时,发誓将布施的果实回向于一切种智,不回向于声闻和独觉的果位,誓言不退失,在完全施舍布施时,是披上了持戒度的盔甲。同样,在完全施舍布施时,布施者、所施物和受施者都

O, up to this point, it shows the vast practice. When practicing the six perfections completely, in order to prove that the six perfections are also included in one perfection, it is said to be wearing the great armor of vast practice. Among them, the venerable son of Sharadvati, moreover, when the Bodhisattva Mahasattva practices the Prajnaparamita, starting from the so-called complete giving of generosity, the venerable son of Sharadvati, when the Bodhisattva Mahasattva, with the intention of possessing all kinds of wisdom, does not cling to those perfections. It should be known that the Bodhisattva Mahasattva has put on the great armor of practicing the Prajnaparamita, up to this point, it shows that when completely accomplishing the perfection of generosity, he has put on the armor of completely accomplishing the six perfections. Among them, there are also three kinds of generosity: Dharma generosity, fearlessness generosity, and material generosity. Among them, Dharma generosity is to explain the words and meanings of the holy Dharma, and to write them into books for giving, etc. Fearlessness generosity is to protect from the fear that may become an obstacle to life, etc. Material generosity is to give away possessions such as wealth and grain with the purity of the three wheels. Thus, when completely giving generosity, the fruit of generosity is not only dedicated to oneself, but is shared with all sentient beings and dedicated to the unsurpassed perfect enlightenment, which is the armor of the perfection of generosity in completely giving generosity. Similarly, when completely giving generosity, vowing to dedicate the fruit of generosity to all kinds of wisdom, not dedicating it to the fruit of the Hearer and Solitary Buddha, the vow does not regress, and when completely giving generosity, it is putting on the armor of the perfection of discipline. Similarly, when completely giving generosity, the giver, the object of giving, and the receiver are all

不畏惧甚深无有之法,即是于行布施时披上忍辱波罗蜜多的铠甲。同样,于行布施时,对于行作三轮清净之布施没有懈怠,并且为了获得布施之果——一切种智,即使长久勤奋也不厌倦,不使精进退失,即是于行布施时披上精进波罗蜜多的铠甲。同样,于行布施时,不因声闻和独觉而生心散乱,一心专注于一切种智,即是于行布施时披上禅定波罗蜜多的铠甲。同样,于行布施时,以智慧了知一切法如幻,因此在胜义中,对于所布施之物,以及布施者和受施者都不执著,即是于行布施时披上智慧波罗蜜多的铠甲。具寿舍利子,当菩萨摩诃萨以与一切种智相应的作意,不将那些波罗蜜多执为相,也不执著时,就应知菩萨摩诃萨披上了行持般若波罗蜜多的广大铠甲。也就是说,六度全部被智慧波罗蜜多所摄持,以三轮清净而获得波罗蜜多的名称。如是,于行布施时,即使具有六度,也不执著于它们的相,并且将世俗中执著的果报与一切有情共同分享,回向于无上正等菩提,但在胜义中不执著于它们的相,这就被称为被智慧波罗蜜多所摄持。如是成就,即是于行持智慧波罗蜜多时,应知披上了成就广大的铠甲。具寿舍利子,此外菩提萨

Not being afraid of the profound and non-existent Dharma is to put on the armor of patience paramita when giving alms. Similarly, when giving alms, there is no laziness in performing the three-wheel pure giving, and in order to obtain the fruit of giving, which is the omniscient wisdom, even if one works hard for a long time, one is not tired, and one does not lose diligence, which is to put on the armor of diligence paramita when giving alms. Similarly, when giving alms, not being distracted by the minds of hearers and self-enlightened ones, and focusing one's mind on omniscient wisdom, is to put on the armor of samadhi paramita when giving alms. Similarly, when giving alms, one realizes that all dharmas are like illusions by wisdom, so in the ultimate sense, one does not cling to the things to be given, as well as the giver and the receiver, which is to put on the armor of wisdom paramita when giving alms. Venerable Sharadvatiputra, when a Bodhisattva Mahasattva, with the intention corresponding to the omniscient wisdom, does not regard those paramitas as characteristics, nor does he cling to them, then it should be known that the Bodhisattva Mahasattva has put on the great armor of practicing prajna paramita. That is to say, all six paramitas are completely grasped by the wisdom paramita, and the name of paramita is obtained by the purity of the three wheels. Thus, when giving alms, even if one has the six paramitas, one does not cling to their characteristics, and one shares the fruits of clinging in the mundane world with all sentient beings, and dedicates them to the unsurpassed and complete enlightenment, but in the ultimate sense, one does not cling to their characteristics, which is called being grasped by the wisdom paramita. Thus, accomplishment is to know that one has put on the armor of great accomplishment when practicing the wisdom paramita. Venerable Sharadvatiputra, also Bodhisattva
