就像牲畜的车乘一般行进的菩萨，对于一个具足圆满意乐的菩萨，以任何善根供养于佛，都应当摄受。即使仅仅给予一日的食物，那也会产生无比巨大的福德。如果有人以遍满所有世界微尘数的牲畜的车乘一般行进的菩萨们，给予同样程度的侍奉，不如另一个人以大象的车乘一般行进的一个菩萨给予一日的食物，那会产生无比巨大的福德。如果有人以大象的车乘一般行进的菩萨们，给予同样程度的侍奉，不如另一个人以如月亮和太阳一般行进的一个菩萨给予一日的食物，那会产生无比巨大的福德。如果有人以如月亮和太阳一般行进的那些菩萨们，给予同样程度的侍奉，不如另一个人以声闻的幻化一般行进的一个菩萨给予一日的食物，那会产生无比巨大的福德。如果有人以同样程度的声闻的幻化一般行进的菩萨们给予侍奉，不如如来幻化一般行进的一个菩萨给予一日的食物，那会产生无比巨大的福德，如是说。那么，什么是从像牲畜的车乘一般行进的菩萨，到如来幻化一般行进的菩萨呢？出自《入决定与非决定印契经》中：文殊，菩萨有五种。哪五种呢？即是：像牲畜的车乘一般行进，像大象的车乘一般行进，像月亮和太阳一般行进，像声闻的幻化一般行进，如来幻化一般行进。像牲畜的车乘一般行进和大象的车乘一般行进的菩萨们，是从菩提退转的。像月亮和太阳一般行进，声闻的

A Bodhisattva who travels like a vehicle of livestock, one who has a complete and perfect intention, should be gathered by any root of virtue offered to the Buddha. Even if one gives a single meal for a single day, it will generate immeasurable merit. If someone were to serve Bodhisattvas who travel like vehicles of livestock with as many particles as there are in all the realms of the world, it would be better than another person giving a single meal for a single day to a Bodhisattva who travels like a vehicle of elephants, which would generate immeasurable merit. If someone were to serve Bodhisattvas who travel like vehicles of elephants to that extent, it would be better than another person giving a single meal for a single day to a Bodhisattva who travels like the moon and the sun, which would generate immeasurable merit. If someone were to serve those beings who travel like the moon and the sun to that extent, it would be better than another person giving a single meal for a single day to a Bodhisattva who travels like the miraculous power of a Shravaka, which would generate immeasurable merit. If someone were to serve Bodhisattvas who travel like the miraculous power of a Shravaka to that extent, it would be better than giving a single meal for a single day to a Bodhisattva who travels like the miraculous power of a Tathagata, which would generate immeasurable merit, it is said. What are the Bodhisattvas who travel like vehicles of livestock up to those who travel like the miraculous power of a Tathagata? It comes from the Sutra of Entering into the Certain and Uncertain Seals: Manjushri, there are five kinds of Bodhisattvas. What are the five? They are: those who travel like vehicles of livestock, those who travel like vehicles of elephants, those who travel like the moon and the sun, those who travel like the miraculous power of a Shravaka, and those who travel like the miraculous power of a Tathagata. The Bodhisattvas who travel like vehicles of livestock and those who travel like vehicles of elephants turn away from Bodhi. Those who travel like the moon and the sun, the Shravakas

以声闻的幻化神通而行，以及以如来的幻化神通而行的菩萨们，不会从菩提退转。那么，以牲畜的车乘而行的菩萨是怎样的呢？例如，某人想要超越如来佛土五倍微尘数的世间界，于是乘坐牲畜的车乘踏上旅途，经过漫长的时间，行进了百逾里。这时，巨大的风轮将他吹回，倒退了八十逾里。那么，这个人能乘坐牲畜的车乘超越那些世间界吗？甚至在从劫到不可说又不可说的劫中，能超越一个世间界吗？禀告世尊，那是不可能的，没有机会。世尊开示说：同样，如果有人发起菩提心，却不执持、不读诵、不讽诵大乘经典，不如理作意，而是亲近声闻乘的行者，与他们一同交往。读诵、讽诵声闻乘的经典，思辨并完全通达，还教导他人读诵，直到完全领会。那么，他的智慧就会变得迟钝，他会从无上智慧的道路上被拉回并倒退。那位菩萨因修习菩提心而生起的智慧之根和智慧之眼也会变得迟钝并衰退。这就是以牲畜的车乘而行的菩萨。那么，以大象的车乘而行的菩萨是怎样的呢？例如，某人想要超越那么多世间界，于是乘坐具有八支的大象的车乘踏上旅途。经过百年，行进了两千逾里。这时，巨大的风轮将他从那条道路上驱赶并倒退，直到没有机会。同样，如果有人发起菩提心，也执持、读诵、讽诵大乘经典，如理作意，却

Those who travel by means of the miraculous powers of the Shravakas, and those Bodhisattvas who travel by means of the miraculous powers of the Tathagatas, will not turn back from Bodhi. What is a Bodhisattva who travels by means of a vehicle of livestock? For example, if someone wants to cross as many world realms as there are dust particles in five Buddha-fields, and then rides on a vehicle of livestock and sets out on the path, and after a long time, has gone over a hundred leagues, but then a great wheel of wind reverses him and drives him back eighty leagues, can that person cross those world realms on a vehicle of livestock? Or even in incalculable aeons upon incalculable aeons, can he cross even one world realm? O Bhagavan, that is not possible, there is no opportunity. The Bhagavan said: Likewise, if someone generates the mind of Bodhi, but does not hold, read, or recite the Great Vehicle, does not properly apply his mind, but instead attends to those who are of the Shravaka Vehicle and associates with them, reads and recites the Shravaka Vehicle, contemplates and fully understands it, and also causes others to read it, until they fully comprehend it, then his wisdom will become dull, and he will be drawn back and reversed from the path of unsurpassed wisdom. The faculty of wisdom and the eye of wisdom of that Bodhisattva, which arose from meditating on the mind of Bodhi, will also become dull and decline. This is a Bodhisattva who travels by means of a vehicle of livestock. What is a Bodhisattva who travels by means of a vehicle of an elephant? For example, if someone wants to cross that many world realms, and then rides on a vehicle of an elephant with eight limbs and sets out on the path, and after a hundred years, has gone over two thousand leagues, but then a great wheel of wind drives him back and reverses him from that path, until there is no opportunity. Likewise, if someone generates the mind of Bodhi, and also holds, reads, and recites the Great Vehicle, properly applies his mind, but
