最初整理完善后,是第一次结集。后来,由于出现了十种不应有的基础和五种争论的基础,为了消除这些,次第进行了第二次和第三次结集。关于大乘波罗蜜多部的经典,据说在王舍城南方的比玛桑巴山上,聚集了十万个王子,金刚手菩萨整理了经藏,慈氏菩萨整理了律藏,文殊菩萨整理了论藏。关于不共的秘密真言续部,在菩提树林中,九十六俱胝的菩萨众中,秘密主金刚手亲自进行了结集。在因扎菩提的《胜乐释》中说:未来依次授记的结集者,是殊胜的山王,东北方的天界胜地,在菩提树林的巨大宫殿中,所有续部,无数大菩萨众,九十六俱胝等等,聚集后向至尊秘密主祈请时,如是说“我听闻”,并将其书写在金册上,用毗琉璃的熔液书写文字。又如《大手印明点》中说:未来谁将为有缘的众生讲解秘密续部?答复说:金刚手怙主将进行讲解。就像这样。那么,时轮、月贤、二观察、金刚心要、金刚空行母等不是也进行了结集吗?如果这样问,那么那些也只是导师以心金刚结集者和眷属的方式显现,因为不是不同的续部,所以没有过失。如《秘密成就续》中说:此的结集者,没有其他的,唯有自性宣说,续的作者是心金刚。又说:续的讲解者是心金刚,讲解者也是结集者。之后,金刚法、金刚手、金刚心要等名称各异,金刚萨埵、时轮、释迦牟尼等导师,以及喜金刚、月贤、阿难陀等眷属的身体显现各异,但实际上意义相同。

Having initially compiled and perfected it, it was the first council. Later, due to the emergence of ten improper bases and five bases of contention, the second and third councils were conducted in order to eliminate these. Regarding the Mahayana Paramita Pitaka, it is said that on Mount Vimalasambha in the south of Rajagriha, ten hundred thousand princes gathered, and Vajrapani compiled the Sutras, Maitreya compiled the Vinaya, and Manjushri compiled the Abhidhamma. Regarding the unique secret mantra tantras, in the Bodhi Grove, among ninety-six kotis of Bodhisattvas, the secret lord Vajrapani himself conducted the compilation. In Indrabhuti's commentary on the Hevajra Tantra, it says: "In the future, the sequentially prophesied compiler, is the supreme mountain king, the supreme divine abode in the northeast, in the great palace of the Bodhi Grove, all the tantras, countless great Bodhisattva assemblies, ninety-six kotis, etc., having gathered and supplicated the venerable secret lord, thus he said, 'I have heard,' and inscribed it on golden tablets, writing the letters with molten beryl." Also, as it says in the Great Seal Bindu: "In the future, who will explain the secret tantras to sentient beings who have fortune?" The reply was: "The protector Vajrapani will explain it." Like this. So, didn't the Kalachakra, Manjushrikirti, the Two Examinations, Vajra Heart Essence, Vajra Dakini, etc., also compile them? If asked this, then those are also just the teacher appearing as the mind-vajra compiler and retinue, because they are not different tantras, so there is no fault. As it says in the Secret Accomplishment Tantra: "The compiler of this, there is no other, only the self proclaims, the author of the tantra is the mind-vajra." And it says: "The explainer of the tantra is the mind-vajra, the explainer is also the compiler." After that, Vajra Dharma, Vajrapani, Vajra Heart Essence, etc., have different names, and Vajrasattva, Kalachakra, Shakyamuni, etc., are teachers, and Hevajra, Manjushrikirti, Ananda, etc., are different appearances of the retinue's bodies, but in reality, the meaning is the same.

应当了知此二无别。智慧明点续云:一切见皆为守护之义,行于种种之形相。于有者为金刚持,于有者为佛之形相,于有者为黑汝嘎之形相,于有者为如来,于有者为菩萨之形相,于有者如声闻般安住,于有者供养欢喜莲花,于有者安住于读诵之方式,于有者造作经续与论典,于有者执持。多说有何用?彼示现者乃金刚手胜王。如是宣说。如是导师三身之体性,转法轮之方式,结集教敕等略说已竟。第二义,于印度圣地,以因果之乘,由讲修之门,如何次第守护之理。初,以声闻乘为主之律藏等,导师入灭之时,将教法交付于声闻大迦叶。彼亦如前所说,作教敕之结集等,使教法兴盛。交付于阿难陀,于鹫峰山以身不坏加持后入灭。阿难陀于王舍城,以金发童子作救护,安置阿罗汉,降伏南方之婆罗门瓦拉札,彼与饶益者同族,以神变降伏等,作广大之天人义利,使穿袈裟者受近圆戒,交付教法。其后于恒河中央,使日种仙人出家受近圆戒。总的来说,守护佛之教法,特别是于喀且之地弘扬教法后入灭。穿袈裟者使善弓王之眷属二千出家,安置于果位等,据说出现阿罗汉一万,见真谛者也有十万左右。其后,于被授记为无名佛之香贩之子尼惹巴出家后交付教法,于瞻波国入灭。圣者尼惹巴依次前往身胜,犍陀罗山,乐人勇士之寺庙等,宣说佛法,获得阿罗汉者亦有。

It should be known that these two are inseparable. The Jnana Tilaka Tantra says: All views are for the purpose of protection, acting in various forms. To some, it is Vajradhara, to some, it is the form of the Buddha, to some, it is the form of Heruka, to some, it is the Tathagata, to some, it is the form of the Bodhisattva, to some, it abides as a listener. To some, it offers joyful lotuses, to some, it abides in the manner of reading. To some, it creates tantras and treatises, and to some, it holds them. What need is there to say much? That which shows is the victorious king Vajrapani. Thus it is said. Thus, the nature of the teacher's three bodies, the manner of turning the wheel of Dharma, and the collection of the teachings, etc., have been briefly stated. Secondly, in the sacred land of India, how the vehicle of cause and effect was gradually maintained through the means of teaching and practice. Initially, the Vinaya Pitaka, which was mainly the vehicle of the Hearers, was entrusted to the great Hearer Kashyapa at the time of the teacher's passing. He also, as previously stated, made collections of the teachings and caused the teachings to flourish. He entrusted it to Ananda, and after blessing his body to be indestructible on Vulture Peak Mountain, he passed away. Ananda, in Rajagriha, protected the golden-colored youth, placed Arhats, and subdued the Brahmin Vararaja of the south, who was of the same lineage as the benefactor, with miraculous powers, etc., and performed great deeds for gods and humans. He ordained the one wearing robes and entrusted the teachings. Then, in the middle of the Ganges River, he ordained the Rishi Sun's companion and generally protected the Buddha's teachings, and especially advised to spread the teachings in the land of Kashmir, and then passed away. The one wearing robes ordained two thousand of King Good Bow's retinue and placed them in the fruit, etc. It is said that there were ten thousand Arhats and about one hundred thousand who saw the truth. Then, the son of the incense merchant, Nyer Subha, who was prophesied to be the nameless Buddha, was ordained and entrusted with the teachings, and passed away in the country of Champa. The noble Nyer Subha went successively to Body Excellent, Gandhara Mountain, and the temples of the brave dancers, etc., and taught the Dharma, and there were also those who attained Arhatship.

不可胜数的事情发生了。此外,他还以神通降伏了恶魔罪恶者等,为佛陀的教法成就了许多非凡的事业。在马图拉城,他使婆罗门希提卡出家,七天后他成了阿罗汉,并将教法托付给他,然后入灭。据说,在这个时期,作为小部说一切有部根本论藏的《大毗婆沙论》也被阿罗汉们共同认可。希提卡使托噶尔国王供奉天空,东方卡玛鲁帕的婆罗门辛哈及其成千上万的眷属供奉太阳,以及马拉瓦的婆罗门傲慢者进行羊祭,都以神通使他们信服,并安排许多人成为阿罗汉,并让他们见到了真谛。之后,在东方安伽国的商人名叫黑者,从海岛上救出了罗刹女的恐惧,最终让他出家并成为阿罗汉,并将教法托付给他,然后在圣地城入灭。在此期间,是阿罗汉格拉格巴和一切欲等进行第二次结集的时候。圣者黑者,清除了克什米尔地区教法上的过失,并前往辛伽罗地区,使辛哈科沙国王及其眷属安立于果位,并使该地区遍布寺庙和僧团。西方巴鲁卡查的夏桑种姓之子,名叫善见,是阿罗汉苏卡亚纳的弟子,他将教法托付给他,然后在北方拘尸那罗的树林中入灭。大善见则在西方信度地区降伏了不信教法的夜叉女辛伽利吉等五百多位龙和夜叉,从而广泛弘扬了佛教。据说大约在这个时候,佛教也在中国开始传播,在此之前被称为教法的七位传承者。此时,达摩阿育王正在执政,他的儿子是库纳拉之眼,他的儿子是无忧,他的儿子是勇士军,从那以后直到迦腻色迦之间的四个王朝,比丘提婆等都引发了争论。

Countless things happened. Furthermore, he subdued the evil demon with his magical powers, and accomplished many extraordinary deeds for the Buddha's teachings. In the city of Mathura, he ordained the Brahmin Hitika, and after seven days he became an Arhat, and entrusted the teachings to him, and then passed into nirvana. It is said that during this time, the Great Commentary, which became the fundamental text of the Sravaka Vaibhashikas, was also commonly approved by the Arhats. Hitika made the king of Tokhar worship the sky, the Brahmin Simha of eastern Kamarupa, along with his thousands of followers, worship the sun, and the Brahmin Drekja of Mallava perform goat sacrifices, all of whom he made believe through magical powers, and arranged for many people to become Arhats, and made them see the truth. Then, the merchant named Black from the land of Anga in the east, rescued from the fear of the Rakshasi on the sea island, eventually ordained him and became an Arhat, and entrusted the teachings to him, and then passed into nirvana in the city of Holy Land. During this time, it was the time when Arhat Gragpa and Sarvastivadins etc. held the Second Council. The Holy Black One, cleared the faults in the teachings in the land of Kashmir, and went to the land of Simhala, established King Simhakosha and his entourage in the fruit, and made that area full of temples and sanghas. In the west, the son of the Shakyaseng clan of Bharukacha, named Legtong (Good Sight), who became a disciple of Arhat Sukayana, entrusted the teachings to him, and then passed into nirvana in the northern Kusha Grove. The Great Legtong then subdued more than five hundred Nagas and Yakshas, including the Yakshini Simhaliji, who did not believe in the teachings in the western Sindhu region, thereby widely spreading the Buddha's teachings. It is said that around this time, Buddhism also began to spread in China, and before that, it was called the seven transmitters of the teachings. At this time, King Dharma Ashoka was ruling, his son was Kunala's Eye, his son was Sorrowless, his son was Warrior Army, and from then until the four dynasties up to Kanishka, Bhikshu Deva etc. stirred up disputes.

后来僧团之间发生大的冲突,从声闻乘的根本四部逐渐分裂为十八部。当时,阿罗汉肋巴(Arya Parsva)和婆须蜜多(Vasumitra)等人确认这十八部都符合佛陀的教诲,并举行了第三次结集。大乘般若波罗蜜多的经典主要在天、龙、夜叉等众生的世界广泛流传,在其他人类世界则零星地被修习,在中部地区并不盛行。大约在这个时期,在乌荼毗湿(Odibisha)国,一位名叫月护(Candra Rakshita)的国王家中,一位文殊菩萨化身的比丘留下了一部《八千颂般若经》后离去,从此开始了弘扬大乘的开端。之后,逐渐涌现出许多直接从慈氏(弥勒)菩萨和文殊菩萨等处听闻佛法的班智达,他们使得《宝积经》和《楞伽经》等大多数大乘经典在人间得以弘扬。此后不久,两位被佛陀亲自授记为能够解释佛陀教义的伟大车乘出现,他们弘扬大乘的方式如下。《楞伽经》中说:“在南方吠陀的地方,有一位名叫龙的著名比丘,他将摧毁有和无的观点。他将在世间宣说我的无上大乘,证得极喜地,然后往生极乐世界。”正如经文所说,佛陀涅槃四百年后,圣者龙树菩萨从龙宫迎请了广大的《十万颂般若经》,并对初转法轮的教义著有《理聚论》,对中转法轮的教义著有《智聚论》,对后转法轮的教义著有《赞聚论》等,从而开创了甚深中观的道路。导师无著,正如《文殊根本续》中所说:“一位名叫无著的比丘,精通这些论典的意义,他将以多种方式详细解释经部的确定意义和引导意义。”无著兄弟应运而生,无著亲自从弥勒菩萨处听受了慈氏五论,并著有《五事地论》和《摄二品》,弟弟世亲则著有《八事释》等。

Later, great conflicts arose among the Sangha, and from the four fundamental schools of the Sravakas, they gradually split into eighteen schools. At that time, Arhat Parsva and Vasumitra and others confirmed that these eighteen schools were in accordance with the Buddha's teachings and held the Third Council. The Mahayana Prajnaparamita sutras were widely propagated in the realms of gods, nagas, yakshas, and other beings, and were practiced sporadically in other human realms, but were not very prevalent in the central regions. Around this time, in the kingdom of Odibisha, in the house of a king named Candra Rakshita, a bhikshu who was an emanation of Manjushri left behind a copy of the Ashtasahasrika Prajnaparamita Sutra and departed, thus beginning the propagation of Mahayana. Gradually, many panditas emerged who directly heard the Dharma from Bodhisattvas such as Maitreya and Manjushri, and they caused most of the Mahayana sutras, such as the Ratnakuta Sutra and the Lankavatara Sutra, to be propagated in the human realm. Not long after that, two great chariots who were prophesied by the Buddha himself to be able to explain the Buddha's teachings appeared and propagated the Mahayana in the following way. The Lankavatara Sutra says, "In the southern region of Veda, there will be a famous bhikshu named Naga, who will destroy the views of existence and non-existence. He will proclaim my unsurpassed Mahayana in the world, attain the stage of great joy, and then go to Sukhavati." As the sutra says, four hundred years after the Buddha's nirvana, the noble Nagarjuna brought the extensive Hundred Thousand Verse Prajnaparamita Sutra from the Naga realm, and wrote the Collection of Reasoning as a commentary on the first turning of the wheel of Dharma, the Collection of Wisdom as a commentary on the intermediate turning of the wheel of Dharma, and the Collection of Praises as a commentary on the final turning of the wheel of Dharma, thus establishing the profound Middle Way. As for the teacher Asanga, as the Manjushri Root Tantra says, "A bhikshu named Asanga will be skilled in the meaning of these treatises, and he will explain in many ways the definitive and provisional meanings of the sutras." The Asanga brothers appeared, and Asanga himself directly heard the Five Treatises of Maitreya from Maitreya Buddha, and composed the Five Sections of the Grounds and the Two Compendiums, while his younger brother Vasubandhu composed the Eight Commentaries, and so on.
