佛母宝德藏般若伽陀不思议品第十三 “若如是见一切法, 一切我见悉皆舍, 佛行法及声闻等, 皆从般若而成就。 如王不行于国邑, 所有王务而自办, 菩萨离相依般若, 自然获佛功德法。 佛母宝德藏般若伽陀譬喻品第十四 “若菩萨发坚固心, 修行最上般若行, 超过声闻缘觉地, 速能证得佛菩提。 如人 现代汉语译本 般若(Prajna,智慧)之母诞生,众生的心念行为无不被其摄持。 世间诸佛(Tathagata),乃至缘觉(Pratyekabuddha)和罗汉(Arhat),以及般若波罗蜜(Prajnaparamita,智慧的完美),都同为一味之法,没有分别。 过去和现在的大智慧菩萨(Bodhisattva),各自安住于此法空之行,这些菩萨如实地了解了真谛,因此如来(Tathagata)被称为佛(Buddha)。 般若的园林花果繁盛,佛依止于此而感到非常喜悦,十力(Dasabala,佛的十种力量)和诸根等清净的僧众,乃至声闻(Sravaka)众都围绕着佛。 般若波罗蜜如高山,十力诸佛依止于此,三涂(地狱、饿鬼、畜生)众生都被救度,救度之后不执着于众生之相。 狮子依山而大吼,诸兽听闻后都感到恐惧,人中狮子依般若而吼,外道和邪魔都感到惊恐。 如太阳千光照耀虚空,普遍照耀大地,各种现象显现,法王(Dharmaraja,佛的别称)安住于般若也是如此,宣说度过爱欲之河的妙法。 色(Rupa,物质)无相,受(Vedana,感受)也无相,乃至想(Samjna,知觉)、行(Samskara,意志)也同样无相,识(Vijnana,意识)也是如此,五蕴(Skandha)皆同,此法无相,诸佛皆是如此宣说。 如果生起虚空之见和众生之相,要知道虚空无相,不可得,佛所说法,法与法之间不相应,不说非有非无之相。 佛母宝德藏般若伽陀不思议品第十三 如果这样看待一切法,一切我见都应舍弃,佛的修行、法以及声闻等,都是从般若而成就的。 如同国王不亲自处理国事,而让所有王务自行运转,菩萨离相依止般若,自然获得佛的功德法。 佛母宝德藏般若伽陀譬喻品第十四 如果菩萨发起坚固的心,修行最上乘的般若之行,就能超越声闻和缘觉的境界,迅速证得佛的菩提(Bodhi,觉悟)。 如同人

English version The mother of Prajna (wisdom) is born, and all beings' thoughts and actions are encompassed by it. All the Tathagatas (Buddhas) in the world, even Pratyekabuddhas (Solitary Buddhas) and Arhats (Enlightened Ones), as well as Prajnaparamita (the perfection of wisdom), are all of one flavor of Dharma, without distinction. The great wisdom Bodhisattvas (Enlightenment Beings) of the past and present each abide in this practice of the emptiness of Dharma. These Bodhisattvas have truly understood the truth, and therefore the Tathagata is called Buddha. The garden of Prajna is full of flourishing flowers and fruits. The Buddha dwells there and feels great joy. The pure assembly of the Ten Powers (Dasabala, the ten powers of a Buddha) and faculties, and even the Sravaka (Hearer) assembly, all surround the Buddha. Prajnaparamita is like a high mountain, upon which the Buddhas with the Ten Powers rely. All beings in the three realms of suffering (hell, hungry ghosts, and animals) are saved, and after being saved, they do not cling to the notion of beings. A lion roars from the mountain, and all beasts are terrified upon hearing it. The lion among humans roars based on Prajna, and all heretics and demons are frightened. Like the sun's thousand rays dwelling in the sky, illuminating the earth and revealing all phenomena, the Dharmaraja (King of Dharma, another name for Buddha) dwells in Prajna in the same way, proclaiming the wonderful Dharma of crossing the river of desire. Form (Rupa, material) is without characteristics, feeling (Vedana, sensation) is also without characteristics, and so are perception (Samjna, cognition), volition (Samskara, mental formations), and consciousness (Vijnana, awareness). The five aggregates (Skandha) are all the same. This Dharma is without characteristics, and all Buddhas proclaim it as such. If one gives rise to the view of emptiness and the notion of beings, one should know that emptiness is without characteristics and cannot be obtained. The Dharma that the Buddha speaks is not in correspondence with other Dharmas, and it does not speak of the characteristics of neither existence nor non-existence. The Thirteenth Chapter: The Inconceivable Chapter of the Prajna Gatha of the Mother of Buddhas, the Treasure of Merit If one sees all Dharmas in this way, all views of self should be abandoned. The practice of the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sravakas are all accomplished through Prajna. Just as a king does not personally handle the affairs of the state, but allows all royal duties to operate on their own, a Bodhisattva, by being free from characteristics and relying on Prajna, naturally obtains the meritorious Dharmas of the Buddha. The Fourteenth Chapter: The Parable Chapter of the Prajna Gatha of the Mother of Buddhas, the Treasure of Merit If a Bodhisattva generates a firm mind and practices the supreme practice of Prajna, they will surpass the realms of Sravakas and Pratyekabuddhas and quickly attain the Bodhi (enlightenment) of a Buddha.

欲渡于大海, 所乘船舫忽破坏, 不依草木命不全, 若得依附达彼岸。 若人不发坚信心, 依于般若求解脱, 溺轮回海无出期, 处生老死常苦恼。 若有信心持般若, 解有无性见真如, 是人获福智有财, 速证最上佛菩提。 如人担水用坏器, 知不坚牢速破坏, 若用坚牢器盛水, 而无破坏无忧怖。 不见具信诸菩萨, 远般若行求退堕, 能发信心持般若, 证大菩提超二地。 未有商人欲入海, 不造坚固大船舫, 依坚固船无怖畏, 获多珍宝到彼岸。 信心菩萨亦如是, 离般若行远菩提, 若修最上大智行, 当得无上菩提果。 如百岁人复病患, 是人不能自行立, 若得左右扶侍者, 随意行往无所怖。 菩萨般若力微劣, 往菩提岸不能到, 兼行最上方便行, 得佛菩提无挂碍。 佛母宝德藏般若伽陀天品第十五 “所有菩萨住初地, 发信心行般若行, 为求无上菩提故, 亲近善友及智者。 大智功德云何获? 当从般若波罗蜜。 如是一切诸佛法, 功德皆从善友得。 修行六度般若行, 一一回施于菩提, 佛蕴非有不可求, 勿为初地如是说。 菩萨修 现代汉语译本 想要渡过大海,所乘坐的船只突然损坏,如果不依靠草木等漂浮物,性命就难以保全,如果能依靠它们就能到达彼岸。 如果人不发起坚定的信心,依靠般若(智慧)来求解脱,就会沉溺在轮回的苦海中没有出头之日,处在生老病死的痛苦之中。 如果有人有信心,持守般若(智慧),理解有和无的本性,见到真如(实相),这个人就会获得福德和智慧,迅速证得最上的佛菩提(觉悟)。 就像人用破损的器皿盛水,知道它不坚固很快就会破裂,如果用坚固的器皿盛水,就不会破裂,也没有忧虑和恐惧。 没有看到有信心的菩萨,远离般若(智慧)的修行而寻求退堕,能够发起信心持守般若(智慧),就能证得大菩提(觉悟),超越二地(菩萨的两个修行阶段)。 没有商人想要进入大海,而不建造坚固的大船,依靠坚固的船只就没有恐惧,获得许多珍宝到达彼岸。 有信心的菩萨也是这样,离开般若(智慧)的修行就会远离菩提(觉悟),如果修习最上的大智慧的修行,就应当获得无上的菩提果(觉悟的果实)。 就像百岁老人又患了疾病,这个人不能自己站立行走,如果得到左右的扶持,就能随意行走而没有恐惧。 菩萨的般若(智慧)力量微弱,前往菩提(觉悟)的彼岸不能到达,如果同时修行最上的方便法门,就能获得佛菩提(觉悟)而没有障碍。 佛母宝德藏般若伽陀天品第十五 ‘所有住在初地的菩萨,发起信心修行般若(智慧),为了求得无上的菩提(觉悟),亲近善友和智者。 大智慧的功德如何获得?应当从般若波罗蜜(到达智慧彼岸的方法)中获得。 像这样一切诸佛的法,功德都从善友那里获得。 修行六度(布施、持戒、忍辱、精进、禅定、智慧)的般若(智慧)修行,一一回向于菩提(觉悟),佛的蕴(构成要素)并非实有,不可执着追求,不要对初地的菩萨这样说。 菩萨修行

English version Wanting to cross the great ocean, the boat one is riding suddenly breaks. If one does not rely on grass and trees, one's life will not be safe. If one can rely on them, one can reach the other shore. If a person does not generate firm faith and relies on Prajna (wisdom) to seek liberation, they will be submerged in the sea of Samsara (cycle of rebirth) without a way out, constantly suffering from birth, old age, sickness, and death. If someone has faith and upholds Prajna (wisdom), understands the nature of existence and non-existence, and sees the true reality (Tathata), that person will gain merit and wisdom, and quickly attain the supreme Buddha Bodhi (enlightenment). It is like using a broken vessel to hold water, knowing it is not sturdy and will break quickly. If one uses a sturdy vessel to hold water, it will not break, and there will be no worry or fear. We have not seen faithful Bodhisattvas who, abandoning the practice of Prajna (wisdom), seek to regress. Those who can generate faith and uphold Prajna (wisdom) can attain great Bodhi (enlightenment) and transcend the two Bhumis (stages of Bodhisattva practice). No merchant would want to enter the sea without building a sturdy ship. Relying on a sturdy ship, there is no fear, and one can obtain many treasures and reach the other shore. Bodhisattvas with faith are also like this. Leaving the practice of Prajna (wisdom) will lead them away from Bodhi (enlightenment). If one cultivates the practice of supreme great wisdom, one should attain the unsurpassed fruit of Bodhi (enlightenment). It is like a hundred-year-old person who is also sick. This person cannot stand and walk on their own. If they receive support from those around them, they can walk freely without fear. The Bodhisattva's power of Prajna (wisdom) is weak, and they cannot reach the shore of Bodhi (enlightenment). If they also practice the supreme expedient methods, they can attain Buddha Bodhi (enlightenment) without obstacles. The Fifteenth Chapter of the Prajna Gatha of the Buddha Mother's Treasure of Virtues 'All Bodhisattvas who dwell in the first Bhumi (stage), generate faith and practice Prajna (wisdom), in order to seek unsurpassed Bodhi (enlightenment), they draw near to good friends and wise ones. How is the merit of great wisdom obtained? It should be obtained from Prajnaparamita (the perfection of wisdom). Like this, all the Dharma of the Buddhas, their merits are all obtained from good friends. Practicing the six paramitas (generosity, morality, patience, diligence, meditation, wisdom) of Prajna (wisdom), one by one, dedicate them to Bodhi (enlightenment). The aggregates (constituents) of the Buddha are not real, and should not be sought after. Do not speak like this to Bodhisattvas in the first Bhumi. Bodhisattvas practice -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 行功德海, 救度世间无度者, 求菩提意离颠倒, 说最上法如电光。 发于最上菩提心, 不求名称不瞋恚, 离蕴识界及三乘, 不退不动不可取。 于如是法得无碍, 达甚深理离妄想, 闻般若信及化他, 知此菩萨住不退。 彼甚深法佛难知, 无有人得不可得, 为利益故证菩提, 此非初心众生知。 众生愚痴复盲冥, 乐住世间求境界, 法无所住无取得, 从无所住生世间。

佛母宝德藏般若伽陀如实品第十六 “东方虚空界无边, 南西北方亦如是, 乃至上下及四维, 无种种相无分别。 过去未来及现在, 一切佛法及声闻, 一切如实不可得, 不可得故无分别。 菩萨乐求如是法, 应行方便般若行, 离种种相即菩提, 菩萨离此无由证。 如鸟能飞百由旬, 折翅翼故飞无半, 忉利天及阎浮人, 忘失般若故自坠。 虽修前五波罗蜜, 经多俱胝那由劫, 复以广大愿资持, 离方便堕声闻位。 乐行佛智心平等, 犹如父母观一切, 当行利益及慈悲, 常宣善软妙言教。”◎◎ 佛母宝德藏般若伽陀不退地祥瑞品第十七此品摄普遍光明佛地 时须菩提瞻仰问: 现代汉语译本 积累功德如海,救度世间无数众生。 追求菩提之心远离颠倒,宣说至高佛法如闪电般迅速。 发起至高无上的菩提心,不求名声,不生嗔恨。 超越五蕴(色、受、想、行、识),六识界(眼、耳、鼻、舌、身、意)以及声闻、缘觉、菩萨三乘,不退转,不动摇,不可执取。 对于这样的佛法能够通达无碍,领悟甚深道理,远离虚妄分别。 听闻般若(智慧)而生信,并能教化他人,可知此菩萨已住于不退转之地。 这甚深的佛法,即使佛陀也难以完全了知,没有人能够真正得到,也没有什么可以被得到。 为了利益众生而证得菩提,这不是初发心的众生所能理解的。 众生愚痴又如盲人般迷茫,喜欢安住于世间,追求各种境界。 佛法无所住,也无所得,从无所住中生出世间万法。 《佛母宝德藏般若伽陀如实品》第十六 ‘东方虚空界无边无际,南方、西方、北方也同样如此。 乃至上方、下方以及四维方向,都没有种种相状,也没有分别。 过去、未来和现在,一切佛法以及声闻乘的修行者, 一切如实之法都不可得,因为不可得,所以没有分别。 菩萨乐于追求这样的佛法,应当修行方便般若之行。 远离种种相状就是菩提,菩萨若离开这些,就无法证得菩提。 如同鸟能飞翔百由旬(古印度长度单位),如果折断翅膀,就飞不到一半。 忉利天(欲界第二天)的人和阎浮提(我们所居住的世界)的人,因为忘失般若,所以会堕落。 即使修习前五波罗蜜(布施、持戒、忍辱、精进、禅定),经历无数俱胝那由他劫(极长的时间单位), 又以广大的愿力来资助,如果离开方便,就会堕入声闻乘的果位。 乐于修行佛的智慧,心平等如父母看待一切众生, 应当行利益众生之事,生起慈悲之心,常常宣说善良、柔和、微妙的教诲。’ 《佛母宝德藏般若伽陀不退地祥瑞品》第十七,此品摄普遍光明佛地 这时,须菩提(佛陀的十大弟子之一,解空第一)瞻仰佛陀,问道:
