如果有人问它的价值和功德，要知道此物的功德是无法估量的。擦拭它，然后就会明白。”说完，就把那东西给了他。正如擦拭之后，人们看到了宝珠的功德。同样，就像阳光普照一切，就像从大海的四个方向汇聚的水都变成了一种咸味一样，那个三摩地也显示一切法无生为一。圣者《持善根经》第十七卷的结尾也阐述了这同一个三摩地。慈氏菩萨所说《狮子吼大经》中说：过去，在无数不可思议的劫之前，如来名号为星光出现在世间，涅槃之后，有一位菩萨名为大精进，相貌端庄美丽，人见人爱，在那里的国家成为国王，出生于婆罗门种姓，如同巨大的娑罗树一般。那时，进入佛法的比丘们绘制如来各种形象。在那里，一位比丘在一块布上精美而完美地绘制了如来的形象，然后将其带到菩萨大精进之父的宫殿。菩萨大精进看到那个形象后心想：如来的形象尚且如此悦目，更何况佛陀本身呢？如果我能拥有这样的身体该有多好啊！他生起了极大的欢喜和信心，对家不再感到快乐。他心想：住在家里无法成就这样的身体，我应该从家里出家。之后，十六岁的大精进，根器成熟，向父母的双足顶礼，说道：请允许我于如来的教法中出家。父母说道：年轻人，不要这样说。我们只有你这一个可爱、珍贵、令人满意的儿子。如果

If someone asks about its value and merit, know that the merit of this thing is immeasurable. Clean it, and then you will understand." Having said that, he gave it to him. Just as after cleaning, people saw the merit of the jewel. Similarly, just as the sunlight pervades everything, and just as all the water collected from the four directions of the great ocean becomes one taste of salt, that samadhi also shows all dharmas as unborn and one. The same samadhi is also taught at the end of the seventeenth fascicle of the Noble Sutra of Holding the Roots of Virtue. From the Sutra of the Great Lion's Roar Taught by Maitreya: In the past, in a time immeasurable and countless eons ago, a Tathagata named Starlight appeared in the world, and after his nirvana, a Bodhisattva named Great Perseverance, who was beautiful, handsome, and pleasing to behold, became king in that country, born into a Brahmin family, like a great Sala tree. At that time, those monks who had entered the Dharma were drawing various images of the Tathagata. There, a monk made a well-made and very perfect image of the Tathagata on cloth, and then took it to the palace of the father of the Bodhisattva Great Perseverance. When the Bodhisattva Great Perseverance saw that image, he thought: If even the image of the Tathagata is so pleasing to behold, what need is there to mention the Buddha himself? How wonderful it would be if I could also have such a body! He developed great joy and faith, and no longer felt happy at home. He thought: While living at home, I cannot achieve such a body; I should renounce from home. Then, Great Perseverance, who was sixteen years old and whose faculties were mature, prostrated at the feet of his parents and said: Please allow me to be ordained in the teachings of the Tathagata. The parents said: Young man, do not say such things. We have no other son who is as beloved, precious, and pleasing as you. If

因为如果你不出现，他就会死亡。孩子说：我无论如何也不会让你们失望，我会让它显现出来，就这样做。父母说：年轻人，怎么做？孩子说：我从今以后，直到我显现出来为止，我既不寻求梳洗，也不寻求禅定，也不进入床铺，也不涂抹酥油和油，也不说任何善与非善的话。然后，那个孩子坐在一个没有扔垃圾的地方，一言不发，一天也没有吃饭。然后，父母拿着一百种味道的食物，日夜不停地，除了劝他吃饭之外，没有说别的话，但他连一句话也不说。同样，他两天没有吃饭，他母亲的五百个亲戚拿着一百种味道的食物，日夜不停地劝说，但他连看都不看他们的脸，更不用说说话了。就这样，三天没有吃饭，他父亲的五百个亲戚也像以前一样劝说，但还是一样。他四天没有吃饭，他的五百个仆人也像以前一样劝说。他五天没有吃饭，他的父母在他们自己的王宫里，那是一个巨大的王国，把所有的客人、黄金、珠宝、珍珠和琉璃等珍宝，以及各种各样的衣服和装饰品都放在一边，还召来了八万四千个像天女一样的年轻女子，她们都装饰着各种各样的装饰品，也放在一边。总之，把国王的王宫里所有可以享受的东西都放在他面前，他的父母，以及上述的五百个母亲的亲戚等等，还有那八万四千个年轻女子，以及所有的人们，都拿着一百种味道的食物，日夜不停地对那个年轻人说：年轻人，起来吃饭吧！住在这个家里，也行行布施吧！也积积功德吧！和这些女人一起享受快乐和嬉戏吧！

Because if you don't appear, he will die. The boy said: I will by no means disappoint you, I will make it manifest, I will do it like that. The parents said: Young man, how to do it? The boy said: From now on, until I manifest, I will neither seek grooming, nor seek meditation, nor enter the bed, nor smear butter and oil, nor speak any words of good or evil. Then, that boy sat in a place where no garbage was thrown, and became silent, and did not eat even one meal a day. Then, the parents took food with a hundred flavors, and day and night without stopping, they only begged him to eat, but he did not say even a word. Likewise, he did not eat for two days, and about five hundred relatives of his mother took food with a hundred flavors, and begged day and night without stopping, but he did not even look at their faces, let alone speak. Thus, he did not eat for three days, and five hundred relatives of his father also begged as before, but it was still the same. He did not eat for four days, and five hundred of his servants also begged as before. He did not eat for five days, and his parents, in their own palace, which had become a great kingdom, put aside all the guests, gold, jewels, pearls, and vaidurya and other treasures, and all kinds of clothes and ornaments, and also summoned eighty-four thousand young women like goddesses, who were all adorned with all kinds of ornaments, and placed them on one side. In short, all the enjoyments that could be enjoyed in the king's palace were placed in front of him, and his parents, and the above-mentioned five hundred relatives of the mother, etc., and those eighty-four thousand young women, and all the people, took food with a hundred flavors, and day and night without stopping, they said to that young man: Young man, get up and eat! Stay in this house and give alms! Also accumulate merit! Enjoy happiness and play with these women!

并且，也请享用欢乐，不要完全放弃这样的王宫啊，他们也这样说了。在那里，那位菩萨的大精进，对聚集在那里的人们既不看也不说话，就这样坐着。六天之中，连饭也不吃，除了忆念佛陀之外，舍弃了一切其他的作意，连食物的念头也不生起。他的父母和亲戚眷属，以及那些妇女和民众，都泪流满面，放声痛哭，以哀求的语气，触摸着那位菩萨的双足，但他连看也不看他们的脸。那时，在那王宫里住着一位天神，他以大神通力坐在上方的虚空中，对大多数人以偈颂说道： 那些为了菩提而精进的人， 就像山王一样， 力量稳固，极其不动摇， 不会放弃誓愿。 即使大地全部摇动， 火也可能变成水， 朋友们，也不能使他从这个地方移动。 不要对他不高兴，以后也不要这样做， 不要造作罪恶的业。 以后就像瞎子一样， 要在千百万劫中漂泊。 这位是为了所有众生的利益， 而安住于菩提， 为了显现而精进的人们， 获得殊胜菩提并不困难。 不是为了欲望和享受， 而是为了修持菩提， 哪些众生寻求佛陀的， 智慧是多么安乐啊。 即使三千世界都充满珍宝， 以及衣服和其它地方的天物， 即使被充满， 也不能对它们产生贪恋。 因为无知而做了什么， 罪恶的业就请忏悔吧。 智者忏悔罪过后， 不会再次安住于业。 这样天神劝请之后， 菩萨的父母和亲戚等民众，忏悔罪过后对年轻人这样说： 年轻人，按照你所想的去吧！ 彻底地出家吧！ 也请吃点饭吧！ 不吃饭会面临死亡的啊！ 他们这样说了。 在那里，那位菩萨七天之中断食而坐。

And, please also enjoy happiness, do not completely abandon such a royal palace, they also said this. There, that great effort of the Bodhisattva, neither looked at nor spoke to those gathered there, and sat like that. For six days, without even eating rice, except for remembering the Buddha, he abandoned all other intentions, and did not even generate the thought of food. His parents and relatives, and those women and the crowd of people, shed tears and cried out, pleading with weeping voices, touching the two feet of that Bodhisattva, but he did not even look at their faces. At that time, a deity who resided in that royal palace, sitting in the sky above with great miraculous power, spoke in verses to most of the people: Those who strive for enlightenment, Like the king of mountains, Their power is firm and utterly unmoving, They will not abandon their vows. Even if all the lands shake, Fire may even turn into water, Friends, it is not possible to move him from this place. Do not be displeased with him, nor do so in the future, Do not commit sinful deeds. In the future, like the blind, You will wander for millions of kalpas. This one is dwelling in enlightenment for the benefit of all sentient beings, Those who strive for manifestation, It is not difficult to obtain the supreme enlightenment. Not for desires and enjoyment, But to practice enlightenment, How happy are those sentient beings Who seek the wisdom of the Buddha. Even if the three thousand worlds are filled with jewels, And clothes and heavenly objects from other lands, Even if they are filled, One cannot be attached to them. Whatever has been done through ignorance, Please confess the sinful deeds. The wise, having confessed their faults, Will not abide in karma again. After the deity urged in this way, the Bodhisattva's parents and relatives, and the crowd of people, confessed their faults and said to the young man: Young man, go as you have thought! Renounce completely! Please also eat some rice! Not eating will lead to death! They said this. There, that Bodhisattva sat abstaining from food for seven days.

然而，由于他忆念佛陀，众神使他的身体在七日内充满光彩，诸根未变异，面容的光彩也未衰退。如此，那位菩萨断食七日，不顾家庭，像丢弃唾沫灰尘般舍弃了伟大的王位。八万四千名妇女，以及父母和亲属的群体，他们的脸上充满了泪水，哭泣着。他带着如来佛的身像，从自己的大城市出来，进入了一个无人居住的、有凶猛野兽栖息的森林。进入后，他将如来佛的身像放在一块布制的基座上，然后在身像前铺上草垫，结跏趺坐，端身正坐，并观想如来佛的身像。当他观想身像时，他心想：‘仅仅如来佛的身像都如此美丽，更不用说世尊了。佛陀世尊如此美丽，真是太神奇了！那些见到如来佛的人真是幸运啊！’他心想：‘如何才能见到如来佛呢？’他也开始这样想。然后，住在那个森林中的一位神，完全了解了那位菩萨的心念，对他说：‘朋友，你所想的如何才能见到如来佛，就应该像看待如来佛的身像一样去看待。如何看待这个身像，就应该如何看待如来佛。如果这样看，那就是很好地见到了如来佛。’然后，那位菩萨心想：‘怎样看才能见到如来佛呢？应该如何看待这个身像呢？’他这样想：‘正如不思念、不分别如来佛的身像一样，也不思念、不分别一切法。如来佛的身像也是如此，没有相'

However, because he remembered the Buddha, the gods filled his body with radiance for seven days, and his faculties did not change. The radiance of his face also did not diminish. Thus, that Bodhisattva fasted for seven days, and without regard for his household, abandoned the great kingdom like discarding the ashes of spittle. Eighty-four thousand women, and the assembly of parents and relatives, their faces filled with tears, weeping. He carried the image of the Tathagata, and emerging from his great city, entered a desolate monastery, a forest inhabited by fierce wild animals. Having entered there, he placed the image of the Tathagata on a cloth-covered base, and in front of it, he sat cross-legged on a spread of grass, straightened his body, and contemplated the image of the Tathagata. As he contemplated it, he thought, 'If even this image of the Tathagata is so beautiful, what need is there to mention the Bhagavan? The Buddha, the Bhagavan, is so beautiful, it is wondrous! Those who see the Tathagata are fortunate indeed!' He thought, 'How should one see the Tathagata?' He also began to think in this way. Then, a god dwelling in that forest, knowing fully the thoughts of that Bodhisattva, said to him, 'Friend, what you are thinking, how should one see the Tathagata, is that one should look upon the image of the Tathagata as it is. As one sees this image, so should one also see the Tathagata. If one sees in this way, then one has seen the Tathagata well.' Then, that Bodhisattva thought, 'How should one look so that one sees the Tathagata? How should one look upon this image?' He thought thus, 'Just as one does not think of, nor discriminate, the image of the Tathagata, so also one does not think of, nor discriminate, all dharmas. The image of the Tathagata is also like this, without characteristics.'

就是这样。正如这个色身仅仅是名言施设一样，一切法也仅仅是名言施设。而名言本身也是自性空，自性无动摇。如来之身也是这样的体性。正如如来之色身，没有获得，没有现证，没有知，没有现前可做，没有果，没有果的证悟，没有处所，没有所依，没有去，没有来，没有生，没有灭，没有一切烦恼，没有清净，没有声音，没有道理，没有非道理，没有贪欲的止息，没有嗔恨的止息，没有愚痴的止息，没有蕴，没有界，没有处，没有前际，没有后际，没有中间一样。一切法也与之相同，如来之身也是这样的体性。正如如来之色身没有动摇，没有行为一样，一切法也与之相同，如来之身也仅仅是这样的体性。正如如来之色身不看，不听，不嗅，不尝，不触，不思，不睡，不起，不出息，不入息，不识，一切法也与之相同。一切法如何，如来之身也是这样的体性。正如如来之色身不属于欲界，也不属于色界，也不属于无色界一样，一切法也与之相同，如来之身也是这样的体性。正如如来之色身没有此岸，没有彼岸，没有中间，没有开始，没有坏灭，没有老
