佛告净命须菩提:“须菩提!汝意云何?如来得阿耨多罗三藐三菩提耶?如来有所说法耶?”须菩提言:“如我解佛说义,无所有法如来所得,名阿耨多罗三藐三菩提;亦无有法如来所说。何以故?是法如来所说,不可取,不可言;非法,非非法。何以故?一切圣人皆以无为真如所显现故。”   “须菩提!汝意云何?以三千大千世界遍满七宝,若人持用布施,是善男子、善女人,因此布施生福多不?”须菩提言:“甚多,世尊!甚多,修伽陀!是善男子、善女人,因此布施,得福甚多。何以故?世尊!此福德聚,即非福德聚,是故如来说福德聚。”   佛言:“须菩提!若善男子、善女人,以三千大千世界遍满七宝,持用布施。若复有人,从此经中受四句偈,为他正说,显示其义。此人以是因缘,所生福德,最多于彼无量无数。何以故?须菩提!如来无上菩提,从此福成。诸佛世尊,从此福生。何以故?须菩提!所言佛法者,即非佛法,是名佛法。   “须菩提!汝意云何?须陀洹能作是念:‘我得须陀洹果。’不?”须菩提言:“不能,世尊!何以故?世尊!实无所有能至于流,故说须陀洹。乃至色、声、香、味、触、法亦复如是,故名须陀洹。   “斯陀含名一往来,实无所有能至往来,是名 现代汉语译本:佛陀告诉净命须菩提:‘须菩提!你认为如何?如来证得了阿耨多罗三藐三菩提(无上正等正觉)吗?如来有所说法吗?’须菩提说:‘依我理解佛所说的义理,没有任何法是如来所证得的,名为阿耨多罗三藐三菩提;也没有任何法是如来所说的。为什么呢?因为如来所说的法,不可执取,不可言说;既不是法,也不是非法。为什么呢?一切圣人都是以无为的真如所显现的缘故。’ ‘须菩提!你认为如何?如果有人用充满三千大千世界的七宝来布施,这个善男子、善女人,因此布施所生的福德多不多?’须菩提说:‘非常多,世尊!非常多,修伽陀(善逝)!这个善男子、善女人,因此布施,得到的福德非常多。为什么呢?世尊!这个福德的聚集,实际上不是福德的聚集,所以如来说是福德的聚集。’ 佛说:‘须菩提!如果善男子、善女人,用充满三千大千世界的七宝来布施。如果又有人,从这部经中接受四句偈,为他人正确解说,显示其中的意义。这个人因为这个因缘,所生的福德,比前者多出无量无数倍。为什么呢?须菩提!如来的无上菩提,是从这个福德成就的。诸佛世尊,是从这个福德产生的。为什么呢?须菩提!所说的佛法,实际上不是佛法,这叫做佛法。’ ‘须菩提!你认为如何?须陀洹(入流果)会这样想:‘我得到了须陀洹果。’吗?’须菩提说:‘不会的,世尊!为什么呢?世尊!实际上没有东西能进入圣流,所以称为须陀洹。乃至色、声、香、味、触、法也是如此,所以称为须陀洹。’ ‘斯陀含(一还果)名为一往来,实际上没有东西能至往来,这叫做斯陀含。’

English version: The Buddha said to the pure-living Subhuti, 'Subhuti, what do you think? Has the Tathagata attained Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi (unexcelled complete enlightenment)? Does the Tathagata have any Dharma to teach?' Subhuti said, 'According to my understanding of the Buddha's teachings, there is no Dharma that the Tathagata has attained, which is called Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi; nor is there any Dharma that the Tathagata has taught. Why? Because the Dharma that the Tathagata speaks of cannot be grasped, cannot be spoken; it is neither Dharma nor non-Dharma. Why? Because all sages manifest through the unconditioned Suchness.' 'Subhuti, what do you think? If someone were to fill three thousand great thousand worlds with the seven treasures and give them away as alms, would this good man or good woman generate much merit from this act of giving?' Subhuti said, 'Very much, World Honored One! Very much, Sugata (Well-gone One)! This good man or good woman would gain very much merit from this act of giving. Why? World Honored One, this accumulation of merit is actually not an accumulation of merit, therefore the Tathagata speaks of an accumulation of merit.' The Buddha said, 'Subhuti, if a good man or good woman were to fill three thousand great thousand worlds with the seven treasures and give them away as alms. If another person were to receive four lines of verse from this sutra, and correctly explain and reveal its meaning to others, the merit generated by this person would be immeasurably greater than the former. Why? Subhuti, the Tathagata's unsurpassed Bodhi is achieved through this merit. All Buddhas, World Honored Ones, arise from this merit. Why? Subhuti, what is called the Buddha Dharma is actually not the Buddha Dharma, this is called the Buddha Dharma.' 'Subhuti, what do you think? Would a Srotapanna (stream-enterer) think, 'I have attained the fruit of Srotapanna?' Subhuti said, 'No, World Honored One! Why? World Honored One, there is actually nothing that enters the stream, therefore it is called Srotapanna. The same is true for form, sound, smell, taste, touch, and dharma, therefore it is called Srotapanna.' 'A Sakadagamin (once-returner) is called one who returns once, but there is actually nothing that goes and returns, this is called Sakadagamin.' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 斯陀含。

“阿那含名为不来,实无所有能至不来,是名阿那含。”   佛言:“须菩提!汝意云何?阿罗汉能作是念:‘我得阿罗汉果。’不?”   须菩提言:“不能,世尊!何以故!实无所有名阿罗汉。世尊!若阿罗汉作是念:‘我得阿罗汉果。’此念即是我执、众生执、寿者执、受者执。世尊!如来阿罗诃三藐三佛陀赞我,住无诤三昧人中最为第一。世尊!我今已得阿罗汉,离三有欲。世尊!我亦不作是念:‘我是阿罗汉。’世尊!我若有是念:‘我已得阿罗汉果。’如来则应不授我记:‘住无诤三昧人中,须菩提善男子最为第一。’实无所住,住于无诤、住于无诤。”   佛告须菩提:“汝意云何?昔从然灯如来阿罗诃三藐三佛陀所,颇有一法如来所取不?”须菩提言:“不取,世尊!实无有法,昔从然灯如来阿罗诃三藐三佛陀所,如来所取。”   佛告须菩提:“若有菩萨作如是言:‘我当庄严清净佛土。’而此菩萨说虚妄言。何以故?须菩提!庄严佛土者,如来说非庄严,是故庄严清净佛土。须菩提!是故菩萨应生如是无住着心,不住色、声、香、味、触、法生心,应无所住而生其心。   “须菩提!譬如有人体相胜大,如须弥山。须菩提!汝意云何?如是体相为胜大不? 现代汉语译本 斯陀含(Sotapanna,入流果)。 ‘阿那含(Anagami,不还果)名为不来,实际上并没有什么东西能到达不来,这被称为阿那含。’ 佛说:‘须菩提!你认为如何?阿罗汉(Arhat,应供)会这样想:‘我得到了阿罗汉果。’吗?’ 须菩提说:‘不会的,世尊!为什么呢?实际上并没有什么东西叫做阿罗汉。世尊!如果阿罗汉这样想:‘我得到了阿罗汉果。’这个想法就是我执、众生执、寿者执、受者执。世尊!如来阿罗诃三藐三佛陀(Araha Sammasambuddha,应供正等觉)赞叹我,说我住在无诤三昧(Nirvana,涅槃)的人中最为第一。世尊!我现在已经证得阿罗汉果,脱离了三有(欲界、色界、无色界)的欲望。世尊!我也不这样想:‘我是阿罗汉。’世尊!如果我有这样的想法:‘我已经得到了阿罗汉果。’如来就不会给我授记:‘住在无诤三昧的人中,须菩提善男子最为第一。’实际上是无所住,住在无诤,住在无诤。’ 佛告诉须菩提:‘你认为如何?过去从然灯如来阿罗诃三藐三佛陀那里,如来是否取过一法?’须菩提说:‘没有取过,世尊!实际上没有任何法,过去从然灯如来阿罗诃三藐三佛陀那里,如来所取。’ 佛告诉须菩提:‘如果有菩萨这样说:‘我应当庄严清净佛土。’那么这位菩萨就是在说虚妄的话。为什么呢?须菩提!所谓庄严佛土,如来说并非是庄严,所以才说是庄严清净佛土。须菩提!因此菩萨应当生起这样无所执着的心,不执着于色、声、香、味、触、法而生心,应当无所住而生起心。’ ‘须菩提!譬如有一个人的身体相貌非常高大,像须弥山(Sumeru,宇宙中心之山)一样。须菩提!你认为如何?这样的身体相貌算是非常高大吗?’

English version Sotapanna (Stream-enterer). 'Anagami (Non-returner) is called non-returning, but in reality, there is nothing that can reach non-returning, this is called Anagami.' The Buddha said, 'Subhuti, what do you think? Would an Arhat (Worthy One) think, “I have attained the fruit of Arhatship?”' Subhuti said, 'No, World Honored One. Why? Because in reality, there is nothing called an Arhat. World Honored One, if an Arhat were to think, “I have attained the fruit of Arhatship,” this thought would be clinging to self, clinging to beings, clinging to a life span, and clinging to a receiver. World Honored One, the Tathagata Araha Sammasambuddha (Fully Enlightened One) praised me, saying that among those who dwell in the Samadhi of Non-Contention, I am the foremost. World Honored One, I have now attained Arhatship, having departed from the desires of the three realms of existence. World Honored One, I also do not think, “I am an Arhat.” World Honored One, if I had the thought, “I have attained the fruit of Arhatship,” the Tathagata would not have given me the prediction, “Among those who dwell in the Samadhi of Non-Contention, the good man Subhuti is the foremost.” In reality, there is no dwelling, dwelling in non-contention, dwelling in non-contention.' The Buddha told Subhuti, 'What do you think? In the past, from the Tathagata Dipankara Araha Sammasambuddha, did the Tathagata take any Dharma?' Subhuti said, 'No, World Honored One. In reality, there is no Dharma that the Tathagata took from the Tathagata Dipankara Araha Sammasambuddha in the past.' The Buddha told Subhuti, 'If a Bodhisattva were to say, “I shall adorn a pure Buddha-land,” then this Bodhisattva is speaking falsely. Why? Subhuti, what is called adorning a Buddha-land, the Tathagata says is not adornment, therefore it is called adorning a pure Buddha-land. Subhuti, therefore, a Bodhisattva should give rise to such a mind that is without attachment, not giving rise to a mind attached to form, sound, smell, taste, touch, or Dharma, one should give rise to a mind that dwells nowhere.' 'Subhuti, suppose there was a person whose physical form was exceedingly large, like Mount Sumeru. Subhuti, what do you think? Would such a physical form be considered exceedingly large?' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

”须菩提言:“甚大,世尊!何以故?如来说非有,名为有身,此非是有,故说有身。”   佛告须菩提:“汝意云何?于恒伽所有诸沙,如其沙数所有恒伽,诸恒伽沙宁为多不?”须菩提言:“甚多,世尊!但诸恒伽,尚多无数,何况其沙。”   佛言:“须菩提!我今觉汝,我今示汝。诸恒伽中所有沙数尔许世界,若有善男子、善女人,以七宝遍满,持施如来应供正遍觉知。须菩提!汝意云何?此人以是因缘,得福多不?”须菩提言:“甚多,世尊!甚多,修伽陀!此人以是因缘,生福甚多。”   “须菩提!若善男子、善女人,以七宝遍满尔所恒伽沙世界,持用布施。若善男子、善女人,从此经典乃至四句偈等,恭敬受持,为他正说。是人所生福德,最胜于彼无量无数!   “复次,须菩提!随所在处,若有人能从是经典,乃至四句偈等,读诵讲说。当知此处于世间中即成支提,一切人、天、阿修罗等,皆应恭敬。何况有人尽能受持读诵如此经典,当知是人则与无上希有之法而共相应。是土地处,大师在中,或随有一可尊重人。”佛说是已。   净命须菩提白佛言:“世尊!如是经典,名号云何?我等云何奉持?”   佛告须菩提:“此经名‘般若波罗蜜’。以是名字,汝当奉持。何 现代汉语译本 须菩提说:‘非常大,世尊!为什么呢?如来说的“非有”,名为“有身”,这并非真实的有,所以才说“有身”。’ 佛告诉须菩提:‘你的意思如何?在恒河中所有的沙子,像这些沙子数量一样多的恒河,这些恒河的沙子难道多不多?’须菩提说:‘非常多,世尊!仅仅是恒河,就已经多得数不清了,更何况是其中的沙子。’ 佛说:‘须菩提!我现在告诉你,我现在开示你。在所有恒河中的沙子数量那么多的世界,如果有善男子、善女人,用七宝装满这些世界,用来布施给如来应供正遍觉知(如来的十个称号之一)。须菩提!你的意思如何?这个人因为这个因缘,得到的福报多不多?’须菩提说:‘非常多,世尊!非常多,修伽陀(如来的十个称号之一)!这个人因为这个因缘,产生的福报非常多。’ ‘须菩提!如果善男子、善女人,用七宝装满像恒河沙数那么多的世界,用来布施。如果善男子、善女人,从这部经典,乃至四句偈等,恭敬地接受、持诵,为他人正确地解说。这个人所产生的福德,最胜过前者,无量无数!’ ‘再者,须菩提!无论在什么地方,如果有人能够从这部经典,乃至四句偈等,读诵讲说。应当知道这个地方在世间中就成了佛塔,一切人、天、阿修罗等,都应该恭敬。更何况有人能够完全接受、持诵这部经典,应当知道这个人就与无上稀有的佛法相应。这个土地之处,大师就在其中,或者随处都有可以尊重的人。’佛说完这些话。 净命须菩提对佛说:‘世尊!这部经典,名称是什么?我们应当如何奉持?’ 佛告诉须菩提:‘这部经名为“般若波罗蜜(到达智慧彼岸)”。用这个名字,你们应当奉持。’

English version Subhuti said, 'It is very great, World Honored One! Why is that? The Tathagata speaks of 'non-being' as 'having a body,' this is not a real 'being,' therefore it is called 'having a body.' The Buddha said to Subhuti, 'What do you think? Regarding all the sands in the Ganges River, and as many Ganges Rivers as there are sands, would the sands of all those Ganges Rivers be many?' Subhuti said, 'Very many, World Honored One! Just the Ganges Rivers themselves are already countless, how much more so the sands within them.' The Buddha said, 'Subhuti! I will now make you aware, I will now show you. If there were as many worlds as there are sands in all the Ganges Rivers, and if a good man or good woman were to fill these worlds with the seven treasures and offer them as alms to the Tathagata, the Arhat, the Perfectly Enlightened One (one of the ten titles of the Buddha). Subhuti! What do you think? Would this person, by this cause, gain much merit?' Subhuti said, 'Very much, World Honored One! Very much, Sugata (one of the ten titles of the Buddha)! This person, by this cause, would generate very much merit.' 'Subhuti! If a good man or good woman were to fill as many worlds as there are sands in the Ganges River with the seven treasures and use them for almsgiving. If a good man or good woman, from this sutra, even just four lines of verse, were to respectfully receive, uphold, and correctly explain it to others. The merit generated by this person would be far superior to the former, immeasurable and countless!' 'Furthermore, Subhuti! Wherever there is a place, if someone is able to read, recite, and explain this sutra, even just four lines of verse. You should know that this place in the world becomes a stupa, and all humans, devas, asuras, etc., should pay respect. How much more so if someone is able to fully receive and uphold this sutra, you should know that this person is in accordance with the unsurpassed and rare Dharma. In this place, the great teacher is present, or there is someone worthy of respect.' The Buddha finished speaking. The pure-living Subhuti said to the Buddha, 'World Honored One! What is the name of this sutra? How should we uphold it?' The Buddha told Subhuti, 'This sutra is named 'Prajnaparamita (Perfection of Wisdom)'. With this name, you should uphold it.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
