如果期望从名字上被提及并得到授记,但没有得到授记,从而信心减退,放弃对这甚深般若波罗蜜多的修行,那么这样做也是被魔加持,或者这样做会给魔提供可乘之机,因此要知道这是魔的事业。请问:世尊,为何不完全宣说这些甚深般若波罗蜜多中的菩萨摩诃萨的名字呢?这是询问修行甚深般若波罗蜜多者,要经过多久才能被提及名字并得到授记。世尊开示说:善逝,没有被授记的菩萨摩诃萨的名字是不会被完全宣说的。这是说,并非所有修行般若波罗蜜多的人都能被提及名字并得到授记,只有获得初地及以上者,才能被提及名字并得到授记。如果有人心想:我的名字也没有出现在这里,我出生的地方、城市或村庄的名字也没有出现,因此不听闻般若波罗蜜多,并打算离开这个法会,那么这个发菩提心的人,每当他想要离开并迈出一步,就会被束缚那么多的劫数。对于这些人,必须努力修持忍辱。这是说,一些没有被授记的菩萨在修行般若波罗蜜多时,心想我的名字等没有被提及,没有得到授记,从而信心减退,放弃听闻这甚深般若波罗蜜多,想要独自离开,并且已经离开,每迈出一步,就会在轮回中漂泊那么多的劫数,无法解脱,因此必须努力修持这甚深般若波罗蜜多。如果有人舍弃般若波罗蜜多,并且不修习任何能圆满一切智智的经藏,却认为自己能通达一切,那么从菩萨乘种姓的儿子和女儿开始。

If one expects to be mentioned by name and receive a prophecy, but does not receive a prophecy, thereby losing faith and abandoning the practice of this profound Prajnaparamita, then doing so is either blessed by a demon, or doing so will provide an opportunity for a demon to take advantage of, therefore one should know that this is the work of a demon. Question: World Honored One, why are the names of the Bodhisattva Mahasattvas in this profound Prajnaparamita not fully proclaimed? This is asking how long it will take for those who practice the profound Prajnaparamita to be mentioned by name and receive a prophecy. The World Honored One said: Well Gone One, the names of the Bodhisattva Mahasattvas who have not been prophesied will not be fully proclaimed. This is to say that not all who practice Prajnaparamita will be mentioned by name and receive a prophecy, only those who have attained the first Bhumi and above will be mentioned by name and receive a prophecy. If someone thinks: My name does not appear here, nor does the name of the place, city, or village where I was born, therefore I will not listen to Prajnaparamita, and intends to leave this assembly, then this person who has generated Bodhicitta, every time he wants to leave and takes a step, will be bound for that many kalpas. For these people, one must strive to practice patience. This is to say that some unprophesied Bodhisattvas, while practicing Prajnaparamita, think that my name etc. has not been mentioned, and I have not received a prophecy, thereby losing faith, abandoning listening to this profound Prajnaparamita, wanting to leave alone, and having already left, every step they take, they will wander in Samsara for that many kalpas, unable to be liberated, therefore one must strive to practice this profound Prajnaparamita. If someone abandons Prajnaparamita and does not practice any Sutra Pitaka that can perfect the omniscient wisdom, but thinks that he can understand everything, then starting from the sons and daughters of the Bodhisattva vehicle lineage.

這些女兒們捨棄了一切相智之樹的根,而心思趣入那樹的枝、葉和葉片中,這句話的意思是:像前面所說的那樣,不聽聞這甚深的般若波羅蜜多,而心思離開,這是菩薩的過失和譬喻。般若波羅蜜多是成就一切相智的智慧,如同樹根。小乘的經藏如同樹的枝、葉和葉片。捨棄了重要的,而趣入微小的,這樣做也是被魔加持,或者這樣做會被魔找到機會,因此應當知道這是魔的事業。請問:世尊,不圓滿修習一切相智之智慧的經藏,心思想要完全通達的,是哪些呢?從「善現,那些是聲聞和獨覺相應的經藏,從中捨棄般若波羅蜜多,而心思想要完全通達,是不圓滿修習一切相智之智慧」這句話之間,是指小乘的經藏如同樹的枝,不修習具備一切相智的智慧,所指的是目標。為什麼呢?從「因為是學習世間和出世間的法」這句話之間,是指修習般若波羅蜜多,就會順帶修習一切世間和出世間的法。善現,例如某隻狗等等,這是說捨棄這甚深的般若波羅蜜多,而修習小乘的經藏,是捨棄好的而尋找壞的,如同狗捨棄好的食物而尋找壞的食物,這是從譬喻中顯示出來的。這樣做也是被魔加持,或者這樣做會被魔找到機會,因此應當知道這是魔的事業。善現,再者,未來的時候等等,這是說在某些地方和時間修習大乘。

Those daughters, abandoning the root of the tree of omniscience, will think of engaging in the branches, leaves, and foliage of that very tree. This means that, as mentioned above, not listening to this profound Prajñāpāramitā and thinking of going astray is a fault and example of a Bodhisattva. Prajñāpāramitā is the accomplishment of the wisdom of omniscience, like the root of a tree. The Sutras of the Lesser Vehicle are like the branches, leaves, and foliage of a tree. Having abandoned the great meaning and engaged in the small meaning, doing so is either blessed by the demon, or doing so will give the demon an opportunity, therefore it should be known as the work of the demon. Asked: Blessed One, which are those Sutras that do not fully cultivate the wisdom of omniscience, and whose minds think of fully comprehending them? From "Subhuti, those are the Sutras associated with the Hearers and Solitary Buddhas, from which the Prajñāpāramitā is abandoned, and whose minds think of fully comprehending them, which do not fully cultivate the wisdom of omniscience," the aim is to point out the Sutras of the Lesser Vehicle, which are like the branches of a tree, and do not cultivate the wisdom endowed with omniscience. Why is that? From "Because they are learning the Dharmas of the world and beyond the world," it is shown that if one practices the Prajñāpāramitā, one will also practice all the Dharmas of the world and beyond the world. Subhuti, for example, a certain dog, etc., this means abandoning this profound Prajñāpāramitā and practicing the Sutras of the Lesser Vehicle is abandoning the good and seeking the bad, just as a dog abandons good food and seeks bad food, which is shown from the example. Doing so is either blessed by the demon, or doing so will give the demon an opportunity, therefore it should be known as the work of the demon. Subhuti, furthermore, in the future, etc., this means practicing the Great Vehicle in certain places and times.
