从“知”开始,到“彼等进入智慧菩提之最胜”之间,是显示智慧的体性,无相无二,与虚空等同。有相和无相,是为利他和他利己而运用的智慧。经中说:“谁人亦见文殊师利”,到“于诸佛之舍利作供养”之间,此下有六个段落,以七颂根本偈说明祈请佛塔。其中又有两种,即供养舍利和供养佛塔。又有供养菩萨和供养八众。经中说:“无数十万佛塔”,到“铃铛和铃鼓,以及铙钹恒时响彻”之间,此段显示祈请佛塔,说明在世尊涅槃后,若对舍利塔作供养和恭敬,则多劫不堕恶趣,亦将圆满大菩提之资粮。一逾缮那(梵文:yojana)是指五百弓箭的距离为一由旬,八由旬为一逾缮那。经中说:“花香以及美妙的乐音”,到“如此之佛塔,乃是胜者之舍利”之间,是显示八众的供养。经中说:“谁人以十方庄严彼”,到“天人世间此兴盛”之间,是说做了此佛塔,则一切世间皆悦意,譬如天上的花朵盛开般悦意。经中说:“胜者放此唯一光芒”,到“示现无数之佛刹”之间,以八颂根本偈显示祈请之义,以四颂根本偈回答。经中说:“见诸瑞相我等得稀有”,到“除疑生喜当勤作”之间,是显示满足自他之愿望。经中说:“善逝之子汝当授记”,到“如是广大之光亦普照”之间,此段是祈请回答所问。经中说:“善逝之子汝

From "knowing" to "they enter the supreme wisdom of Bodhi," it shows the nature of wisdom, which is without characteristics, non-dual, and equal to space. Having characteristics and not having characteristics are the wisdoms used for the benefit of others and oneself. The sutra says, "Whoever sees Manjushri," to "make offerings to the relics of the Buddhas," there are six sections below this, with seven root verses explaining the request for stupas. There are also two types: offering to relics and offering to stupas. There are also offerings to Bodhisattvas and offerings to the eight assemblies. The sutra says, "No fewer than a billion thousand stupas," to "Bells and small bells, and cymbals are always ringing," this section shows the request for stupas, explaining that after the passing of the Bhagavan, if one makes offerings and respects the stupas of relics, one will not fall into the lower realms for many kalpas, and the accumulations of great Bodhi will also be perfected. A yojana is a distance of five hundred bow-lengths to a krosa, and eight krosas to a yojana. The sutra says, "Flowers, incense, and likewise sweet music," to "Such a stupa, is the relic of the Victorious One," it shows the offerings of the eight assemblies. The sutra says, "Whoever adorns them with the ten directions," to "This flourishing world with gods," it is said that by making this stupa, all worlds are pleased, just like the heavenly flowers blooming with joy. The sutra says, "The Victorious One sent forth this single ray of light," to "Showing many thousands of fields," with eight root verses showing the meaning of the request, and with four root verses answering. The sutra says, "Seeing the signs, we have obtained wonders," to "Remove doubts and diligently create joy," it shows fulfilling the wishes of oneself and others. The sutra says, "Son of the Sugata, you should prophesy," to "Such a vast light also shines forth," this section is the request for an answer to the question. The sutra says, "Son of the Sugata, you"

以……预言。从“这的因不是小”到“这的因不会变小”之间,是回答提问、预言、显示意义重大,以及显示此清净刹土的意义非小。经中说:“所显示的刹土有数千。”到“文殊,在此预言什么?”之间,是直接回答提问。经中说,从“此后”到“诸族姓子”之间,是文殊童子能够回答,注释中说:文殊以忆念前世的智慧,现见过去因果圆满,因此能够回答。不是仅仅依靠推测或猜测来回答。文殊以自己的身语意为许多佛陀做了事业的因,就是现在的这个果,因此以前成为名为圣光的比丘时,从如来那里现前听闻此法,现在能够为许多众生宣说。此下分为三部分来宣说。第一,说出名称而作简要的开示;第二,回答提问;第三,劝诫下面的听众。经中说: “这是善逝宣说大法,并如实宣说,心中作此念。”这是回答提问。此注释中说,回答有十种意义:这是现见重大意义之因;诸族姓子,我以前在过去时,见到世间的语言、文字和章节极其深奥之因;又,诸族姓子,以前在过去无量无数劫中,见到稀有奇妙之因,以前也见到如来名为日月灯之因;又,见到如来内部的最后一位未出家者,见到受用广大之因;佛陀涅槃后,圣光菩萨执持此圣法,见到收集和执持如来之法的因;又,日月灯如来的八个儿子也依靠圣光而变得非常稳固。

Predicted by... From "this cause is not small" to "this cause will not become small," it is answering questions, prophesying, showing great meaning, and showing that the meaning of this pure land is not small. The sutra says, "The lands shown are thousands." To "Manjushri, what is prophesied here?" is a direct answer to the question. The sutra says, from "then" to "sons of good family," it is that Manjushri, who has become a youth, is able to answer. The commentary says: Manjushri, with the wisdom of remembering his previous life, directly sees the past cause and effect as perfect, therefore he is able to answer. It is not just relying on speculation or guesswork to answer. Manjushri, with the cause of his own body, speech, and mind doing deeds for many Buddhas, is the present result, therefore, when he previously became a monk named Holy Light, he directly heard this Dharma from the Tathagata, and now he is able to proclaim it to many beings. Below this, it is divided into three parts to explain. First, state the name and give a brief explanation; second, answer the question; third, advise the listeners below. The sutra says: "This is the Sugata proclaiming the great Dharma, and truly speaking, thinking this in his heart." This is answering the question. This commentary says that there are ten meanings to the answer: This is the cause of directly seeing great meaning; sons of good family, I have seen in the past the cause of the extremely profound language, words, and chapters of the world; also, sons of good family, in the past countless eons, seeing the cause of rare and wonderful things, and also seeing the cause of the Tathagata named Sun Moon Lamp; also, seeing the last of the Tathagatas who did not leave home, seeing the cause of vast enjoyment; after the Buddha's Nirvana, the Bodhisattva Holy Light held this holy Dharma, seeing the cause of collecting and holding the Dharma of the Tathagatas; also, the eight sons of the Tathagata Sun Moon Lamp also relied on Holy Light and became very stable.
