English version All realms of existence are empty; with the wisdom of emptiness (sunyata samadhi), compassion and wisdom arise. Like a person with the greatest virtue and strength, who understands all illusory phenomena, even tools, weapons, and crafts, and is always able to serve the world. This person, his parents, wife, and children, though encountering many injustices and difficulties on a distant and dangerous path, because of his courage and being known by many, can return home safely and happily without any fear. The Bodhisattva of great wisdom, for the sake of all beings, dwells in the highest samadhi (meditative absorption), subduing the four maras (demons or hindrances), and distancing themselves from the two vehicles of Sravakas (hearers) and Pratyekabuddhas (solitary realizers), and does not seek the Bodhi (enlightenment) of a Buddha. Just as space is empty and without substance, yet wind, water, and earth all depend on it, and sentient beings in the world derive happiness from it, while space itself has no intention to dwell or not dwell. The Bodhisattva dwelling in emptiness is also like this, manifesting various forms in the world, relying on the wisdom and vows of sentient beings, neither being in stillness nor in emptiness. If a Bodhisattva practices great wisdom, dwelling in the stillness of samadhi, at this time, he does not see any phenomena, nor does he see non-phenomena. The Bodhisattva practices this gate of liberation, neither seeking stillness nor clinging to phenomena, just as a bird flies back and forth in the sky, neither dwelling in the sky nor on the ground. It is also like a person who practices archery, practicing diligently for many years without slacking, the skill of archery reaches its peak, and every arrow hits the target accurately. The practice of the highest Prajna (wisdom) is also like this, through cultivating wisdom and skillful means, until all good deeds are perfected, one can obtain the highest supernatural powers. If a Bhiksu (monk) attains supernatural powers, manifesting miraculous transformations, dwelling in the sky, in the four postures of walking, standing, sitting, and lying down, even after countless kalpas (eons), he will not regress or tire. The Bodhisattva dwelling in emptiness is also like this, through practicing the formless path to reach the other shore, manifesting various actions in the world, even after countless kalpas, he will not regress or tire. Like a person encountering a great wind in a dangerous place, holding an umbrella tightly with both hands, focusing his mind, this person is unable to move forward due to fear of danger, until the wind stops, he can then proceed. The Bodhisattva of great wisdom is also like this, although knowing that all dharmas (phenomena) are empty, for the benefit of sentient beings, he still practices in the world, not retreating because of fear of emptiness. The Bodhisattva illuminates the world with the light of wisdom, just as the sun shines on the earth, enabling all sentient beings to benefit, the Bodhisattva's wisdom and compassion are endless. The Bodhisattva's wisdom is like space, omnipresent and all-encompassing, able to contain everything, the Bodhisattva's compassion is like the earth, able to bear everything and nourish everything. The Bodhisattva's practice is like the ocean, unfathomable and boundless, able to contain everything, the Bodhisattva's vows are like fire, able to burn all afflictions and illuminate all darkness. The Bodhisattva's wisdom is like a clear mirror, able to reflect the truth of all things, the Bodhisattva's compassion is like nectar, able to nourish the hearts of all sentient beings. The Bodhisattva's practice is like a diamond, indestructible, able to overcome all obstacles, the Bodhisattva's vows are like a treasure, able to fulfill the needs of all sentient beings. The Bodhisattva's wisdom is like the sun, able to dispel all darkness, the Bodhisattva's compassion is like the moon, able to bring coolness and peace. The Bodhisattva's practice is like a lotus flower, emerging from mud without being stained, able to maintain purity, the Bodhisattva's vows are like a lighthouse, able to guide sentient beings towards the light. The Bodhisattva's wisdom is like good medicine, able to cure all the diseases of sentient beings, the Bodhisattva's compassion is like parents, able to care for all sentient beings. The Bodhisattva's practice is like a bridge, able to connect this shore and the other shore, the Bodhisattva's vows are like a boat, able to carry sentient beings to the other shore of liberation. The Bodhisattva's wisdom is like a key, able to open all the doors of wisdom, the Bodhisattva's compassion is like nectar, able to nourish the hearts of all sentient beings. The Bodhisattva's practice is like a gardener, able to cultivate all good roots, the Bodhisattva's vows are like sunlight, able to illuminate all sentient beings. The Bodhisattva's wisdom is like a compass, able to guide sentient beings towards the right path, the Bodhisattva's compassion is like a clear spring, able to nourish the hearts of all sentient beings. The Bodhisattva's practice is like a warrior, able to overcome all obstacles, the Bodhisattva's vows are like a shield, able to protect all sentient beings. The Bodhisattva's wisdom is like a bright lamp, able to illuminate all darkness, the Bodhisattva's compassion is like rain and dew, able to nourish all sentient beings.

萨住大悲, 智慧方便为二手, 执空无相愿法盖, 见法不住于寂静。 如人求宝往宝洲, 获宝安隐而还家, 是人心足而快乐, 岂有眷属心苦恼。 诣空宝洲亦如是, 获得根力禅定宝, 菩萨不住欢喜心, 令诸众生离苦恼。 商人为利悉所经, 聚落国城诸里巷, 虽达宝所亦非住, 大智善道而复还。 大智菩萨悉了知, 声闻缘觉解脱智, 乃至佛智亦非住, 何况行彼有为道。 大智菩萨为世间, 住空无相愿三昧, 若得寂静无所著, 乃可得知于无为。 譬如人生人未识, 称其名故众乃知, 菩萨若行解脱门, 于解脱门众知识。 菩萨闻彼甚深法, 而于诸根悉照明, 住空无相无愿法, 无退无思无授记。 观于三界如梦幻, 不求声闻缘觉地, 如佛说法为世间, 名不退地应授记。 知诸众生堕三涂, 发愿刹那灭恶道, 以真实力灭火蕴, 名不退地应授记。 诸恶宿曜及鬼神, 作种种疫恼世间, 真实愿力悉灭除, 无我能作应授记。 佛母宝德藏般若伽陀魔业品第二十一 “我得授记非能所, 是实愿力得增长, 若见授记及能所, 是名执着及少智。 菩萨 现代汉语译本 菩萨安住于大慈悲心,以智慧和方便为双臂, 执持空性、无相的愿力作为覆盖,明见诸法却不住于寂静。 如同有人为了寻宝前往宝洲,获得宝藏后平安返回家园, 此人内心满足而快乐,他的眷属又怎会感到痛苦呢? 菩萨前往空性的宝洲也是如此,获得根、力、禅定的宝藏, 菩萨不住于欢喜心,而是为了让一切众生脱离苦恼。 商人为了利益走遍各地,穿梭于村落、国都、街巷, 即使到达宝藏之地也不会停留,而是凭借大智慧善巧地返回。 大智慧的菩萨完全明了,声闻(Sravaka,听闻佛法教诲而修行的人)和缘觉(Pratyekabuddha,靠自己觉悟而修行的人)的解脱智慧, 乃至佛陀的智慧也不执着,更何况是那些有为的修行之道。 大智慧的菩萨为了世间,安住于空性、无相、愿力的三昧(Samadhi,禅定), 如果能获得寂静而不执着,才能真正了解无为的境界。 譬如一个人出生时无人认识,一旦称呼他的名字,众人便会知晓, 菩萨如果修行解脱之门,众人也会因此认识解脱之门。 菩萨听闻甚深佛法,能够明照诸根(六根:眼、耳、鼻、舌、身、意), 安住于空性、无相、无愿之法,不退转、不思虑、不被授记。 观察三界如梦幻泡影,不求声闻、缘觉的果位, 如同佛陀为世间说法,这被称为不退转地,应当被授记。 知道众生堕入三恶道(地狱、饿鬼、畜生),发愿刹那间灭除恶道, 以真实的力量灭除火蕴(烦恼之火),这被称为不退转地,应当被授记。 各种恶星宿和鬼神,制造种种瘟疫恼害世间, 以真实愿力全部灭除,不执着于‘我’能做到,这应当被授记。 《佛母宝德藏般若伽陀》魔业品第二十一 ‘我’得到授记并非因为‘我’能做到,而是真实愿力增长的结果, 如果执着于授记和能所,这就是执着和少智慧的表现。 菩萨
