此外,当转轮圣王名为阻见王时,他见一切生法皆为阻碍,遂为众多有情宣说佛法。又,当转轮圣王名为味及过患善巧王时,虽知品尝诸法之味有过患,然未能了知出离之法,遂卧床自忖:谁能知出离之法?尔时,具足三十二相之佛陀赞曰:善哉!不显现即是出离,造作即非出离。如是宣说,令其通达菩提道。又,往昔有婆罗门名为自在天,以外道离贪,具大神通与威光。彼以种种学问禁锢百千有情,自身安住于初禅,成就五神通。彼亦于此初禅中品尝禅味,然品尝禅味亦有过患。彼思惟:佛陀之教法中,内外一切生处皆具禅味与过患,是故当有出离之道,无禅味与过患。如是如理作意,得无生法忍,并将无量有情安立于无生法忍中。又,于无量光如来之时,世尊自身曾为名称贤王,听闻从菩提分法开始宣说之法,获得无生法忍。目犍连子问曰:世尊于何如来处获得无生法忍?佛言:目犍连子,诸佛世尊依有情之根器而宣说佛法。又,国王名为仙善,以外道离贪之时,于寂静处入于正定,如是了知从地狱乃至有顶之间,种种有情皆因烦恼之故而有种种生,若无烦恼则不积业。彼以有顶之

Furthermore, when he became a wheel-turning king named 'Seeing Obstruction,' he saw all arising dharmas as obstructions and taught the Dharma to many sentient beings. Also, when he became a wheel-turning king named 'Skilled in Tasting and Faults,' although he knew the faults of tasting all dharmas, he did not know the means of liberation. So, he went to bed wondering, 'Who knows the means of liberation?' Then, the Buddha, endowed with the thirty-two marks, praised him, saying, 'Well done! Non-manifestation is liberation, and action is non-liberation.' Thus, he understood the path to enlightenment. Moreover, in the past, there was a Brahmin named 'Lord of Power,' who was detached from desire through an external path and possessed great magical powers and splendor. He confined hundreds of thousands of sentient beings with various kinds of knowledge, and he himself, relying on the first dhyana, attained the five superknowledges. He also tasted the flavor of this first dhyana. However, tasting the flavor also has faults. He thought, 'In the Buddha's teachings, all internal and external sources of arising have both flavor and faults. Therefore, there must be a path of liberation that is without flavor and faults.' By properly focusing his mind in this way, he obtained the forbearance of non-arising and established countless sentient beings in the forbearance of non-arising. Furthermore, during the time of the Tathagata Infinite Light, the Blessed One himself was a king named 'Good Fame,' and upon hearing the Dharma taught beginning with the seven branches of enlightenment, he was said to have obtained the forbearance of non-arising. Maudgalyayana's son asked, 'At which Tathagata's place did the Blessed One obtain the forbearance of non-arising?' The Buddha replied, 'Maudgalyayana's son, the Buddhas, the Blessed Ones, teach the Dharma according to the faculties of beings.' Furthermore, when a king named 'Sage Good God' became detached from desire through an external path, he entered into correct concentration in a secluded place. Thus, he understood that from hell to the peak of existence, various sentient beings have different kinds of births due to the power of afflictions, and if there are no afflictions, then karma is not accumulated. He, with the peak of existence,

获得寂止之后,通过获得阻止意识和感受的等持,心想有从这些痛苦中解脱出来的方法,并将此道告诉他人,从而变得不退转于无上菩提。 ༈ 。又,过去有一位名叫悦意贱族的仙人,当他具有五种神通时,心想:此法不应以种姓和血统来衡量,应以法性来衡量法,也不存在非法。因此,在十方世界中,智者不畏惧无生之法,而孩童则会畏惧。这是为什么呢?因为法的自性没有任何可执著之处。如此等等地宣说佛法,将无数众生安置于无生之法中,并使他们不退转于无上菩提。 ༈ 。又,当名为白慧如来出世时,那位佛陀的寿命长达九十亿年。在那时,当国王贤善之子,年轻的菩萨名为兔相时,世尊亲自示现。那位佛陀以其伟大的神变在那片净土中示现了许多奇迹。年轻的兔相在梦中看到那位如来出现在世间,心中生起无法估量的喜悦,于是召集了村里的人们,劝说道:我们去拜见佛陀世尊白慧,他将连同烦恼的因和果一起摧毁。于是他们前往世尊处,向他顶礼,请求他接受伞盖的供养,并向佛陀及其眷属供养了食物和用布缝制的衣服,并发愿证得无上菩提,如是获得了授记。 ༈ 又,当转生为仙人珍宝之光遍照时,为了向误入歧途的众生宣说佛法,并为了揭示执着于多种信仰的过失,他正确地、彻底地揭示了阻止了解多种信仰的方法,并且不特别执着于该法和自己的信仰,而是将其揭示为具有欺骗性的法。因此,他使无数众生从痛苦中解脱出来。 ༈ 又,名为持地菩萨,具有无量功德且根器敏锐,仅仅生起一个念头就

Having attained stillness, and through attaining the samadhi that prevents consciousness and feelings, thinking that there is a way to be liberated from these sufferings, and showing that path to others, he became irreversible from unsurpassed enlightenment. ༈ Again, in the past, when a sage named Delightful Outcaste became endowed with the five clairvoyances, he thought: "This Dharma should not be judged by caste or lineage. Dharma should be judged by its nature, and there is nothing that is not Dharma." Therefore, in the ten directions of the world, the wise are not afraid of the Dharma of non-arising, while children become afraid. Why is that? Because there is nothing to fixate on in the essence of Dharma. By teaching the Dharma in this way, countless beings were placed on the Dharma of non-arising, and made irreversible from unsurpassed enlightenment. ༈ Again, when the Tathagata named White Intelligence appeared, that Buddha's lifespan was ninety billion years. At that time, when the king's wise son, the young Bodhisattva named Rabbit Countenance, became the Blessed One himself, that Buddha showed many wonders in that field through his great miracles. The youth Rabbit Countenance saw in a dream that the Tathagata had appeared in the world, and immeasurable joy arose in him. He gathered the people of the village and urged them, saying, "Let us go to the Buddha, the Blessed One White Intelligence, who teaches the destruction of afflictions together with their causes." Then they went to the Blessed One, prostrated to him, invited him to accept the offering of umbrellas, and offered food and clothes made of cloth to the Buddha and his retinue. They made aspirations for unsurpassed enlightenment, and thus received prophecies. ༈ Again, when he became the sage Precious Glory, Completely Transcendent, in order to teach the Dharma to sentient beings who had strayed from the path, and in order to reveal the faults of those who cling to various beliefs, he correctly and thoroughly revealed the method of preventing the understanding of various beliefs, and without being particularly attached to that Dharma or his own beliefs, he revealed it as a deceptive Dharma. Therefore, he liberated countless sentient beings from suffering. ༈ Again, the Bodhisattva named Earth Holder, possessing immeasurable qualities and sharp faculties, with each thought arising,

积累无数的善根,每一个发心都使无数众生安立于三乘。当他心想,如来降下法云之雨的眷属们如果能被授记就好了。刹那间,那些众生便如各自所愿地被授记了。 ༈ 又,当菩萨转生为名为宝持之时,他成为名为近寂圣如来的侍者,通过如理作意和五神通,他了知他人的心。由于他获得了与如来的意乐和各种根性相应的能力,如来也做出了与其行为相应的示现。 ༈ 又,当名为水天菩萨住于家时,他向如来妙目请教了阻止各种贪欲的方法,此后,他完全了解了那些地方,因此没有发生任何过失。 ༈ 又,当转生为名为无垢月菩萨之时,名为善于将一切众生度脱至菩提的如来,于无数劫中安住,仅以大乘便将无量众生安置于不退转之地而入灭。当时,名为天月菩萨者,将如十方佛刹微尘数般的众生安置于无上菩提而入灭。当时,无垢月菩萨也被天月所成熟,他心想:这位天月菩萨将无量众生安置于无上菩提,并真实地延续了佛陀的血脉,我也要效仿他。于是,他便在十方世界中,随顺所有众生的想法和意乐,显现天、龙、夜叉等化身。不久,他便将该刹土的所有众生安置于三乘之中。以此善根,他获得了知晓一切众生各种意乐的能力。 ༈ 又,当转生为名为无等力菩萨之时,他是如来药王的侍者,对于意义、法、时

Accumulating immeasurable roots of virtue, each act of generating the mind caused countless beings to be established in the three vehicles. When he thought, "If only these retinues of the Tathagata who rain down the clouds of Dharma could be prophesied!" In an instant, those beings were prophesied according to their respective wishes. ༈ Moreover, when the bodhisattva was born as one named Jewel Holder, he became the attendant of the Tathagata named Near Peace Noble One. Through proper attention and the five superknowledges, he knew the minds of others. Because he obtained the ability to accord with the Tathagata's inclinations and various dispositions, the Tathagata also made displays that were in accordance with his conduct. ༈ Furthermore, when the bodhisattva named Water God resided in a home, he asked the Tathagata Beautiful Eyes for the method of preventing various desires. Thereafter, he fully understood those places, and thus no faults occurred. ༈ Moreover, when he was born as the bodhisattva named Immaculate Moon, the Tathagata named Skilled in Liberating All Beings to Enlightenment, resided for countless eons, and solely through the Great Vehicle, he placed immeasurable beings in the state of non-retrogression and passed into nirvana. At that time, the bodhisattva named Divine Moon placed beings equal to the dust particles of ten Buddhafields in unsurpassed enlightenment and passed into nirvana. At that time, the bodhisattva Immaculate Moon was also fully ripened by that Divine Moon, and he thought, "Since this bodhisattva Divine Moon has ripened immeasurable beings into unsurpassed enlightenment and has truly propagated the lineage of the Buddha, I too shall emulate him." Thus, in the ten directions, he manifested emanations of gods, nagas, yakshas, and so forth, according to the thoughts and inclinations of all the beings in that world. Before long, he placed all the beings of that realm in the three vehicles. Through that root of virtue, he obtained the ability to know the various inclinations of all beings. ༈ Moreover, when he was born as the bodhisattva named Unequaled Strength, he was the attendant of the Tathagata Medicine King, regarding meaning, Dharma, time,

通达了诸如烦恼尽智等以及所有经论的彼岸,因此,如来被询问了诸如根智等,并被授记,从而获得了不生之法的忍耐。 再次,当他转世为名为国王天神的婆罗门时,他考虑到自己所造的业,心想:我积累了什么善、非善或未被预言的业呢?他辨别出善业的造作,并且知道是哪个根在显现业。即使当贪欲等生起时,他也将根分为大、中、小,从而阻止了这些烦恼,因此没有堕落到八十劫中。 再次,当国王月天之女转世为名为月天女时,她聪明且心怀公正,因此处理国王的事务并继承王位。之后,国王月天问女儿:通过什么原因才能正确获得根智和一切生起的知识?女儿回答说:如果侍奉那些持戒且博学的沙门和婆罗门,就能成就,并且会显现那种智慧,并学习那种智慧。国王因此对乞丐们感到满意和高兴,并获得了不可动摇的信仰。 再次,当名为一切生起的仙人转世为具有五种神通时,他在树林中修行苦行时,心想:通过什么智慧才能使根停止并且不再生起呢?他完全了解通过哪种圣者的智慧才能使根停止。根智的止息是不生起,例如人头被砍掉后头不会再生长一样,根停止后根不再生起,这就是根智的止息。他心想,如果想通过那样的智慧完全了解根,但却没有找到那种根智。为了寻找那样的智慧,他去拜访了那些事务和活动少的沙门和婆罗门,但也没有找到。他心想,我应该自己生起智慧并寻找它。他舍弃了无数难以舍弃之物,甚至舍弃了头和眼睛,但仍然没有找到那种智慧。像这样通过苦行寻找的那些,最终通过圣道找到了那种智慧。此外,他

Having gone beyond all scriptures, such as the knowledge of the exhaustion of defilements, etc., he was asked about the knowledge of the faculties, etc., by the Tathagata, and was prophesied, thereby obtaining forbearance of the unarisen dharma. Furthermore, when he became a Brahmin named King of the Gods, he considered the actions he had done, thinking, "What virtuous, non-virtuous, or unpredicted actions have I accumulated?" He discerned the performance of virtuous actions and also knew which faculty manifested the action. Even when desire and other afflictions arose, he divided the faculties into large, medium, and small, thereby preventing those afflictions, and thus did not fall into eighty kalpas. Furthermore, when the daughter of King Moon God was reborn as a goddess named Moon Goddess, she was wise and just, therefore she carried out the king's affairs and succeeded to the throne. Then, King Moon God asked his daughter, "By what cause can one correctly obtain the knowledge of the faculties and the knowledge of all arising?" The daughter replied, "If one serves the shramanas and brahmins who are virtuous and learned, it will be accomplished, and that knowledge will manifest, and one will learn that knowledge." The king was thus pleased and delighted with the beggars and obtained unwavering faith. Furthermore, when the sage named All Arising was reborn as one with five clairvoyances, while he was practicing austerities in the grove, he thought, "By what knowledge can the faculties cease and not arise again?" He fully understood by which noble knowledge the faculties cease. The cessation of the knowledge of the faculties is non-arising, just as a head does not grow back after a person's head has been cut off, so too, after the faculties have ceased, the faculties do not arise again; this is the cessation of the knowledge of the faculties. He thought that if he wanted to fully understand the faculties with such knowledge, he could not find that knowledge of the faculties. In order to seek such knowledge, he went to visit the shramanas and brahmins who had few affairs and activities, but he did not find it. He thought, "I should generate knowledge myself and seek it." He gave up countless things that were difficult to give up, even giving up his head and eyes, but still did not find that knowledge. Those things that he sought through such austerities, he finally found that knowledge through the noble path. Furthermore, he
