Buddha Speaks: The Buddha Mother Treasure Virtue Treasury Prajnaparamita Sutra (English | 中文 | བོད་ཡིག)

Chinese

:一真实善法;二不退心;三应供离垢无烦恼无求;四善友同等。 “大智菩萨如是行,  不学声闻及缘觉,  乐学如来一切智,  是学非学名为学。  学不受色不增减,  亦复不学种种法,  摄受乐学一切智,  若此功德出离者。  色非有智非无智,  受想行识亦复尔,  色性自性如虚空,  平等无二无分别。  妄想本性无彼岸,  众生之界亦复然,  虚空自性亦同然,  智慧世间解亦尔。  智慧无色佛所说,  离一切想到彼岸,  若人得离诸想已,  是人语意住真如。  彼人住世恒沙劫,  不闻佛说众生声,  众生不生本清净,  是行最上般若行。  佛说种种之语言,  皆具最上般若义,  过去佛为我受记,  于未来世证菩提。   佛母宝德藏般若伽陀持无量功德建塔品第三   无垢地摄持戒波罗蜜伽陀 “若人常受持般若,  所作上应诸佛行,  刀剑毒药水火等,  乃至诸魔不能为。  若人于佛灭度后,  建七宝塔以供养,  如是圆满千俱胝,  佛刹恒沙等佛塔。  众生无边千俱胝,  以妙香华涂香等,  供养三世无边劫,  所有功德之数量,  不及书写于佛母,  诸佛由此而得生,  若受持读诵供养, 现代汉语译本: 一、真实的善法;二、不退转的决心;三、应受供养、远离垢染、没有烦恼、没有贪求;四、与善友平等相处。 大智慧的菩萨这样修行,不学习声闻(听闻佛法而得道者)和缘觉(独自悟道者),乐于学习如来(佛)的一切智慧,这种学习既是学习又不是学习,名为学习。学习不受色(物质)的影响,不增不减,也不学习种种法(佛法),摄取并乐于学习一切智慧,如果这种功德能够使人解脱。色(物质)不是有智慧也不是没有智慧,受(感受)、想(思维)、行(意志)、识(意识)也是如此。色的自性就像虚空一样,平等无二,没有分别。妄想的本性没有彼岸,众生的境界也是如此,虚空的自性也是如此,智慧和世间的理解也是如此。佛说智慧没有形色,远离一切想法才能到达彼岸。如果有人能够远离各种想法,那么这个人的语言和意念就安住在真如(事物的真实本性)之中。这个人安住在世间,即使经过恒河沙数般的劫数,也不会听到佛说众生的声音。众生本来就不生,本性清净,这是最上乘的般若(智慧)修行。佛所说的种种语言,都包含着最上乘的般若的意义。过去佛为我授记,在未来世将证得菩提(觉悟)。 佛母宝德藏般若伽陀持无量功德建塔品第三 无垢地摄持戒波罗蜜伽陀 如果有人经常受持般若(智慧),所作所为都符合诸佛的修行,刀剑、毒药、水火等,甚至各种魔都不能伤害他。如果有人在佛灭度后,建造七宝塔来供养,即使建造的佛塔数量达到千俱胝(亿)个,如同恒河沙数般的佛刹(佛的国土)那么多,众生数量无边,达到千俱胝(亿)个,用美妙的香、花、涂香等,供养三世无量劫,所有功德的数量,也比不上书写佛母(般若)的功德,诸佛都是由此而生。如果受持、读诵、供养般若,

English version: One, true good dharma; two, unwavering resolve; three, worthy of offerings, free from defilement, without afflictions, without seeking; four, equality with good friends. The Bodhisattva of great wisdom practices in this way, not learning from Sravakas (those who attain enlightenment by hearing the Buddha's teachings) and Pratyekabuddhas (those who attain enlightenment on their own), but delighting in learning all the wisdom of the Tathagata (Buddha). This learning is both learning and not learning, and is called learning. Learning is not affected by form (matter), neither increasing nor decreasing, nor does it learn various dharmas (Buddhist teachings). It embraces and delights in learning all wisdom. If this merit can lead to liberation. Form (matter) is neither with wisdom nor without wisdom, and so are sensation, perception, volition, and consciousness. The nature of form is like space, equal, non-dual, and without discrimination. The nature of delusion has no other shore, and so is the realm of sentient beings. The nature of space is also the same, and so is wisdom and worldly understanding. The Buddha said that wisdom has no form, and one reaches the other shore by abandoning all thoughts. If one can abandon all thoughts, then one's speech and mind dwell in Suchness (the true nature of things). This person dwells in the world for as many kalpas (eons) as there are sands in the Ganges River, and will not hear the Buddha speak of sentient beings. Sentient beings are originally unborn and pure in nature. This is the supreme practice of Prajna (wisdom). All the words spoken by the Buddha contain the meaning of the supreme Prajna. The Buddhas of the past have given me predictions that I will attain Bodhi (enlightenment) in the future. The Third Chapter of the Prajna Gatha of the Buddha Mother's Treasure of Virtues, Holding Immeasurable Merits and Building Stupas The Gatha of the Immaculate Ground, Holding the Paramita of Precepts If one constantly upholds Prajna (wisdom), one's actions will be in accordance with the practices of all Buddhas. Swords, poisons, water, fire, and even various demons cannot harm them. If one builds seven-jeweled stupas for offerings after the Buddha's Parinirvana (passing away), even if the number of stupas reaches thousands of kotis (billions), as many as the Buddha lands like the sands of the Ganges River, and if countless sentient beings, reaching thousands of kotis (billions), offer beautiful incense, flowers, and perfumes for countless kalpas of the three times, the amount of all merits is not comparable to the merit of writing the Buddha Mother (Prajna), from which all Buddhas are born. If one upholds, recites, and makes offerings to Prajna,

功德倍胜于佛塔。  大明般若诸佛母,  能除苦恼遍世界,  所有三世十方佛,  学此明得无上师。  行般若行利有情,  使学大智证菩提,  有为无为诸快乐,  一切乐从般若生。  譬如大地植诸种,  得和合生种种色,  五波罗蜜及菩提,  皆从般若所生出。  又如轮王出行时,  七宝四兵为导从,  若依佛母最上行,  一切功德法集聚。”   佛母宝德藏般若伽陀功德品第四   发光地摄忍辱波罗蜜伽陀  帝释有疑问佛曰:  “恒河沙数等佛刹,  佛界圆满如芥子,  能受佛刹般若力,  如是了知般若已,  此界云何不供养?” “譬如人王人所重,  住般若者合亦尔。  佛界般若摩尼宝,  具一切德价无比,  经函安处经有无,  供养悉获宝功德。  佛灭供养于舍利,  不及供养于般若,  若乐受持供养者,  是人速得证解脱。  首行布施波罗蜜,  次戒忍进及禅定,  受持善法不可坏,  彼一一生一切法。  如阎浮提种种树,  百千俱胝无数色,  虽一一树影皆别,  无量影同一名摄。  五波罗蜜五名异,  般若波罗复一名,  一切回施为菩提,  一味同归菩提名。   佛母宝德藏般若伽陀福 现代汉语译本 功德比佛塔还要殊胜。 伟大的般若(prajna,智慧)是诸佛之母,能消除遍布世界的苦恼。 所有过去、现在、未来十方诸佛,都学习此般若而获得无上导师的地位。 修行般若之行能利益众生,使他们学习大智慧,证得菩提(bodhi,觉悟)。 所有有为和无为的快乐,一切快乐都从般若产生。 譬如大地种植各种种子,因缘和合而生出种种色彩。 五波罗蜜(pāramitā,到达彼岸的修行)和菩提,都从般若中产生。 又如转轮王出行时,七宝和四兵作为引导和随从。 如果依循佛母(指般若)最上的修行,一切功德和佛法都会聚集。 佛母宝德藏般若伽陀功德品第四 发光地摄忍辱波罗蜜伽陀 帝释(Indra,天神之王)向佛陀提问:‘如同恒河沙数一样多的佛刹(buddhakṣetra,佛的国土),' 佛界圆满如同芥子一般,能够承受佛刹的般若之力。 像这样了解般若之后,这个世界为什么不供养它呢?’ 佛陀回答说:‘譬如人王受到人们的尊重,安住于般若的人也同样如此。 佛界的般若如同摩尼宝(maṇi,如意宝珠),具足一切功德,价值无比。 经函安放之处,无论经文是否存在,供养都能获得珍宝般的功德。 佛陀灭度后供养舍利(śarīra,佛陀遗骨),不如供养般若。 如果乐于受持和供养般若,这个人很快就能证得解脱。 首先修行布施波罗蜜,其次是持戒、忍辱、精进和禅定。 受持善法不可破坏,它们一一包含一切法。 如同阎浮提(Jambudvīpa,我们所居住的这个世界)的各种树木,有百千俱胝无数的颜色。 虽然每一棵树的影子都不同,但无数的影子都归于同一个名称。 五波罗蜜有五个不同的名称,般若波罗蜜又是一个名称。 一切回向都为了菩提,最终都归于菩提这个名称。 佛母宝德藏般若伽陀福

English version The merit is even greater than that of a stupa. The great Prajna (wisdom) is the mother of all Buddhas, capable of removing suffering throughout the world. All Buddhas of the past, present, and future in the ten directions learn this Prajna and attain the position of the supreme teacher. Practicing the conduct of Prajna benefits sentient beings, enabling them to learn great wisdom and attain Bodhi (enlightenment). All the happiness of the conditioned and unconditioned, all happiness arises from Prajna. It is like the earth planting various seeds, which, through the combination of conditions, produce various colors. The five Paramitas (perfections) and Bodhi all arise from Prajna. It is also like when a Chakravartin (universal monarch) goes out, the seven treasures and four divisions of the army serve as guides and followers. If one follows the supreme practice of the Mother of Buddhas (referring to Prajna), all merits and Dharma will gather. Chapter Four: The Merit of the Prajna Gatha of the Treasury of the Virtues of the Mother of Buddhas The Gatha of the Paramita of Forbearance, Embraced by the Luminous Ground Indra (king of the gods) asked the Buddha: 'In Buddha-lands (buddhakṣetra) as numerous as the sands of the Ganges,' The Buddha-realm is as complete as a mustard seed, capable of bearing the power of Prajna of the Buddha-lands. Having understood Prajna in this way, why does this world not make offerings to it?' The Buddha replied: 'Just as a human king is respected by people, so too is one who abides in Prajna. The Prajna of the Buddha-realm is like a Mani jewel (wish-fulfilling gem), possessing all virtues and being of immeasurable value. Wherever a scripture case is placed, whether the scriptures are present or not, offerings will obtain the merit of precious jewels. Making offerings to the relics (śarīra) after the Buddha's Parinirvana is not as meritorious as making offerings to Prajna. If one is happy to uphold and make offerings to Prajna, that person will quickly attain liberation. First, practice the Paramita of generosity, followed by morality, forbearance, diligence, and meditation. Upholding good Dharma is indestructible; each of them contains all Dharmas. Like the various trees of Jambudvipa (the world we live in), there are hundreds of thousands of millions of countless colors. Although the shadows of each tree are different, countless shadows are gathered under the same name. The five Paramitas have five different names, and Prajna Paramita is another name. All dedication is for Bodhi, and ultimately all return to the name of Bodhi.
