符合道理。是已经生起信心的意思。哪些信心不随顺所信的对境事物呢?比如,对于黑天和猛厉自在等,认为他们享用烦恼却没有烦恼等等,这些信心与事物不相符,是为了遮止这些。从“听闻后”来说,是没有理解意义。由于宣说了“信心和信仰”,为了他人的劝请和竞争,以及赶时髦地祈愿等等,对于这些,实际上不会产生那么大的利益。这是其中的意思。然而,无论是清净还是不清净的意念,只要与此法结缘,未来必定会成为与重大意义相遇的因。第二,详细解说:谁念诵了这个普贤行愿,他将舍弃一切恶趣。他已舍弃了恶友。他将迅速见到无量光佛。他们将获得极大的利益,生活安乐。今生他们也将吉祥如意。他们将变得像普贤菩萨一样。他们不会很久才变成那样。那些犯下五无间罪的罪业,谁因无知而造作的,如果他念诵这个普贤行,将迅速完全清净。他将具有智慧、形貌和相好,以及种姓和肤色。魔和众多外道不能胜过他。在所有三界中,他将受到供养。他将迅速到达菩提树王前。到达后,为了利益众生而住在那里。他将证得菩提,转动法轮。他将调伏所有魔众及其眷属。任何具有圆满信心的人,将依次获得这十三种利益。第一种利益是:任何以精勤念诵此愿的人,将清净所有堕入恶趣的罪业。因此,他将暂时摆脱因业力而堕入恶趣的一切。第二种利益是:念诵此愿的人,在今生和来世都将远离恶友。他不会遇到恶友,并且会与之前遇到的恶友断绝关系。

It accords with reason. It means having generated faith. What kind of faith does not follow the object of faith? For example, regarding black deities and fierce Ishvara, believing that they enjoy afflictions without having afflictions, etc., these kinds of faith do not correspond with reality, and it is to negate these. From "having heard," it means not understanding the meaning. Because "faith and belief" are proclaimed, for the sake of others' encouragement and competition, and making prayers in a fashionable way, etc., for these, such great benefits will not actually arise. That is the meaning. However, whether the intention is pure or impure, whatever it may be, because of gaining a connection with this Dharma, in the future, it will definitely be the cause of encountering great meaning. Second, the detailed explanation: Whoever recites this Samantabhadra's aspiration prayer, he will abandon all the lower realms. He has abandoned evil friends. He will quickly see Amitabha. They will obtain great gains and live happily. In this life, they will also be auspicious. They will become like Samantabhadra. They will not take long to become like that. The sins of the five heinous crimes, those committed out of ignorance, if he recites this Samantabhadra's conduct, will quickly be completely purified. He will be endowed with wisdom, form, and marks, as well as lineage and complexion. Demons and many heretics cannot overcome him. In all three realms, he will be worshipped. He will quickly go to the Bodhi tree king. Having gone there, he will stay there for the benefit of sentient beings. He will attain enlightenment and turn the wheel of Dharma. He will subdue all the demons and their retinues. Anyone who has perfect faith will gradually obtain these thirteen benefits. The first benefit is: anyone who diligently recites this aspiration will purify all the sins that lead to falling into the lower realms. Therefore, he will temporarily abandon all those who go to the lower realms due to karma. The second benefit is: the one who recites this aspiration will abandon evil friends in all lives, both in this life and in future lives. He will not encounter evil friends, and he will be separated from the connection with evil friends he has encountered before.

因此,恶友是罪恶的朋友,使烦恼增长,使人从事恶业罪行,阻碍戒律、闻思修三者的增长。他们使人致力于今生的欲望、敌友等世俗事务,或者即使自诩为解脱之道,也使人从事邪见和邪行。这些人无论是上师或君主,还是直接平等的友人,甚至是仆人或弟子,都被称为不善知识或罪恶的朋友,以及魔的助手。他们如同燃烧的火焰或接触有毒的毒蛇一样,应该远远避开。即使不是这样的罪恶之友,那些将进入大乘的人引向小乘,以及将对甚深广大的法感兴趣的人引向诠释意义的法等,也是恶友。第三个利益是:以此也能迅速见到无量光佛。世尊如来无量光,即无量光佛,以及极乐世界,在活着的时候也能迅速见到,并能从佛那里听闻佛法,死后也能往生到那个净土。第四个利益是:那些精进于此愿的人,为了成就伟大的目标,能够轻易获得所需之物,或者不费力气就能获得与法相应的食物、衣服、布施等,不会匮乏。第五个利益是:安乐地生活,安乐的意义是美好。因此,一生都能行持善事,不离善法而生活,或者没有敌人、邪魔和疾病等危害,从而安乐地生活。第六个利益是:今生种下此愿的人,转生为人变得有意义,因此是善妙的到来,意味着人生变得有意义。这也是因为在此善业增长,意味着在许多世中已经成就了安乐之因。或者,种下此愿的人,即使在今生也能长寿、拥有巨大的财富、眷属和亲友等根基稳固、年景丰收、他人友善、名声远扬等,具备一切美好之事物,到来,到来一词表示以已发生之语来表示将要发生之事。

Therefore, a bad friend is a sinful friend who increases afflictions, engages one in evil deeds and sins, and obstructs the increase of discipline, study, contemplation, and meditation. They engage one in worldly affairs such as the desires of this life, enemies, and friends, or even if they claim to be the path to liberation, they engage one in wrong views and wrong conduct. Whether these are lamas or lords, direct and equal friends, or even servants or disciples, they are called unwholesome spiritual friends or sinful friends, and allies of demons. They should be avoided from afar like a burning fire or touching a poisonous snake. Even if they are not such sinful friends, those who lead those who have entered the Great Vehicle to the Lesser Vehicle, and those who lead those who are interested in the profound and vast Dharma to the Dharma of interpretable meaning, are also bad friends. The third benefit is: one will quickly see Amitabha Buddha. The Bhagavan Tathagata Amitabha, the Immeasurable Light Buddha, along with the Pure Land of Sukhavati, can be quickly seen in this lifetime, and one can hear the Dharma from that Buddha, and after death, one can be reborn in that Pure Land. The fourth benefit is: those who are diligent in this aspiration will easily obtain what they need in order to achieve great goals, or they will effortlessly obtain food, clothing, alms, etc. that are in accordance with the Dharma, without any lack. The fifth benefit is: to live in happiness, the meaning of happiness is goodness. Therefore, one lives one's whole life practicing goodness, living without separation from virtue, or living happily without the harm of enemies, demons, diseases, etc. The sixth benefit is: those who plant this aspiration in this life, their birth as a human being becomes meaningful, therefore it is a good arrival, meaning that life becomes meaningful. This is also because good deeds increase here, meaning that the cause of happiness has already been accomplished in many lifetimes. Or, those who plant this aspiration, even in this life, will have longevity, great wealth, a stable foundation of retinue and relatives, a good harvest, the kindness of others, and a widespread reputation, possessing all good things, arriving, the word arriving indicates what will happen with the word of what has already happened.

第七个利益是:获得普贤行。不仅限于这六种利益,还能像圣者普贤菩萨那样,拥有无量的功德和神通,自在地运用供养和愿海。不会拖延很久,那些发愿的人,会像普贤菩萨亲自证得功德的次第一样转变。其中,稍微成就普贤菩萨的解脱是从初地极喜地开始,大致成就是从第八地开始,完全成就是第十地。第八个利益是:消除业障。对于五无间罪的业障,无论哪个众生,因为不了解罪过的危害而在先前造作的,之后他生起信心,从内心深处念诵这个普贤行愿,那么他的所有无间罪业都会迅速彻底地清净。所有不善业都是由贪嗔痴三毒中的任何一种推动和结合而成的。即使是贪欲和嗔恨推动和结合的,也必须先有愚痴的推动,所以所有的罪业都是因为不了解而造作的。发起菩提心,以信心反复念诵这个愿文,即使造作了无间罪,也能在此生清净,更何况是轻微的罪业呢?第九个利益是:获得圆满的智慧。如上所示,以具有四种殊胜的这种回向来作回向,是获得圣者无分别智慧的根本原因。“和”这个词是用来区分色等事物的。第十个利益是:获得圆满的身体。意生身的形貌,以及它的功德,三十二相和八十随形好,以及八种和十二种相好等等。即使在六道中转生,也会成为婆罗门和高贵的王族等,具有圆满的种姓,以及具备肤色等功德的美丽身形。或者,肤色,在梵语中是瓦尔纳,意思是种姓。如迦叶和持光等婆罗门,以及月

English

The seventh benefit is: attaining the practice of Samantabhadra. Not only limited to these six benefits, but also like the noble Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, possessing immeasurable merits and miraculous powers, freely wielding offerings and the ocean of aspirations. It will not be long before those who make aspirations will transform in the same way as Samantabhadra himself attained the order of merits. Among them, slightly accomplishing the liberation of Samantabhadra starts from the first bhumi, the Joyful Land; mostly accomplishing it starts from the eighth bhumi; and completely accomplishing it is the tenth bhumi. The eighth benefit is: eliminating karmic obscurations. Regarding the karmic obscurations of the five heinous crimes, whichever sentient being, due to not understanding the harm of sins, committed them in the past, if later he generates faith and recites this Samantabhadra's aspiration from the depths of his heart, then all his heinous sins will be quickly and thoroughly purified. All non-virtuous actions are propelled and combined by any of the three poisons of greed, hatred, and ignorance. Even those propelled and combined by desire and hatred must first have the propulsion of ignorance, so all sins are committed due to not understanding. Generating the mind of enlightenment and repeatedly reciting this aspiration with faith, even having committed heinous crimes, one can purify them in this life, let alone minor sins? The ninth benefit is: attaining perfect wisdom. As shown above, making dedication with this dedication possessing four special qualities is the fundamental cause for attaining the non-discriminating wisdom of the noble ones. The word "and" is used to distinguish things like form. The tenth benefit is: attaining a perfect body. The form of the mind-made body, and its qualities, the thirty-two major marks and eighty minor marks, as well as the eight and twelve minor marks, etc. Even when reborn in the six realms, one will become a Brahmin and a noble royal family, etc., possessing a perfect lineage, and a beautiful form endowed with the qualities of complexion, etc. Or, complexion, in Sanskrit is Varna, which means caste. Like Kashyapa and Light-Holder, etc., Brahmins, and Moon.

以及太阳族等王族的种姓,都是种姓高贵且血统纯正的人。第十一功德是难以征服,即魔和魔族的鬼神及诸部多都无法找到机会,凡是从佛陀的教法中走向歧途,持有邪见之辈,他们都是外道,那些外道的智慧和力量无法征服此(功德),否则魔和外道反会被其制服。大多数经文中都说魔和许多外道无法征服它,而根据译师仁钦桑布的翻译,说是魔和外道之众无法征服它,意义相同,可随意采用。第十二功德是成为应供养的功德,即在地下、地上和虚空中活动的三界一切天、人及诸部多,都会以直接或间接的方式供养并发愿此祈愿文的作者,并恭敬和饶益他。第十三功德是究竟的功德。念诵此祈愿文并最终圆满的功德是,圆满二资粮后,将获得无上菩提,即迅速前往菩提树王座前,到达后,为了利益一切众生而坐在树下,降伏所有魔王及其眷属,最终现证菩提,并转动殊胜法轮。因此,前往菩提树心,降伏魔众,证得佛果,转动法轮,这四种事业是直接示现的,也暗示了一切无量事业。这里诸位论师如此安排顺序,与十二事业的顺序相符,而按照经文的顺序,降伏魔众的事业,不仅是在菩提树心降伏魔众,而且在前后一切时处,也屡次摧毁魔业,如《经部·太阳藏》和《宝积经》等中所说。

and the solar race, etc., are royal lineages, all of whom are of noble birth and pure lineage. The eleventh benefit is that it is difficult to overcome, that is, demons and gods of the demonic race, and all the bhutas cannot find an opportunity. Those who have turned away from the Buddha's teachings and hold wrong views are heretics. The wisdom and power of those heretics cannot overcome this (benefit), otherwise the demons and heretics will be subdued by it. In most texts, it says that demons and many heretics cannot overcome it, and according to the translation of the translator Rinchen Zangpo, it says that the assembly of demons and heretics cannot overcome it, which is the same in meaning and can be used as one pleases. The twelfth benefit is the merit of becoming worthy of offerings, that is, all the gods, humans, and bhutas in the three realms who move in the underground, on the ground, and in the sky will make offerings and aspirations to the author of this prayer in a direct or indirect way, and will respect and benefit him. The thirteenth benefit is the ultimate benefit. The benefit of reciting this prayer and finally completing it is that after perfecting the two accumulations, one will attain unsurpassed enlightenment, that is, one will quickly go to the Bodhi tree throne, and after arriving, one will sit under the tree to benefit all sentient beings, subdue all the demon kings and their retinues, and finally manifest enlightenment and turn the excellent wheel of Dharma. Therefore, going to the heart of the Bodhi tree, subduing the demons, attaining Buddhahood, and turning the wheel of Dharma, these four deeds are directly shown, and also imply all the immeasurable deeds. Here, the commentators arrange the order in this way, which is in accordance with the order of the twelve deeds, and according to the order of the scriptures, the deed of subduing the demons is not only subduing the demons in the heart of the Bodhi tree, but also destroying the demonic deeds repeatedly at all times before and after, as mentioned in the Sutra Collection, Heart of the Sun, and the Jewel Heap Sutra, etc.
