t08n0241 vajratopanishad yoga principle prajna sutra.g2.0f

English

English version The form of Vairochana Buddha, for all Bodhisattvas, expounds the profound principle of the Prajnaparamita (Perfection of Wisdom) that reveals the gate to the realization of the tranquil Dharma-nature of all Tathagatas. That is to say: 'Enlightenment is achieved through the equality of Vajra (diamond), because the steadfast nature of Great Bodhi is like a diamond; enlightenment is achieved through the equality of meaning, because Great Bodhi has a single meaning; enlightenment is achieved through the equality of Dharma, because the self-nature of Great Bodhi is pure; enlightenment is achieved through the equality of all actions, because Great Bodhi is free from all discriminations.' After the Buddha expounded this gate of Dharma-nature, he said to Vajrapani Bodhisattva: 'Vajrapani! If anyone hears these four gates of the Prajnaparamita that reveal the principle of achieving enlightenment through tranquil nature, and believes, understands, upholds, recites, correctly remembers, and contemplates them, then they will be able to transcend all evil paths and quickly attain the unsurpassed, perfect enlightenment.' Again, he spoke the secret mantra: 'Om' At that time, the World Honored One, again relying on the form of Shakyamuni Buddha, who is able to subdue the difficult-to-subdue sentient beings, expounded to all Bodhisattvas the Dharma gate of the Prajnaparamita that is universally victorious and equal in all Dharmas. That is to say: 'Greed has no nature of conceptual proliferation; hatred has no nature of conceptual proliferation; ignorance has no nature of conceptual proliferation. Why? Because all Dharmas have no nature of conceptual proliferation. The fact that all Dharmas have no nature of conceptual proliferation is the same as the fact that Prajnaparamita has no nature of conceptual proliferation.' After the Buddha expounded this universally victorious Dharma of the Prajnaparamita that subdues all evils, he said to Vajrapani Bodhisattva and others: 'Vajrapani! If anyone hears the Dharma gate of the Prajnaparamita that is universally victorious and equal in all Dharmas, and believes, understands, upholds, recites, correctly remembers, and contemplates it, even if they have killed all sentient beings in the three realms, they will ultimately not fall into evil paths because of this. Why? Because they have already received the precepts of subduing the mind. They will always be born in good realms, cultivate the practice of Bodhi, and quickly attain the unsurpassed, perfect enlightenment.' Again, he spoke the secret mantra: 'Hum' At that time, the World Honored One, again relying on the form of the self-nature purity of all Tathagatas, expounded to all Bodhisattvas the principle of the Prajnaparamita that is the seal of the wisdom of the equality of all Dharmas and the self-mastery of observation. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

法门。所谓:“一切贪性清净、瞋性清净;一切贪性清净故,一切垢性清净、罪性清净;一切垢性清净、罪性清净故,一切法性清净、有情性清净;一切法性清净、有情性清净故,一切智性清净;一切智性清净故,即般若波罗蜜多最胜清净。”   佛说如是平等智印般若理趣清净法已,告金刚手菩萨等言:“金刚手!若有闻此一切法平等观自在智印般若波罗蜜多理趣法门,信解受持读诵正念思惟,虽在五欲尘中,不为客尘烦恼诸过所染,譬如莲华虽在淤泥终不染着,乃至疾证无上正等菩提。”   复说密语:   “颉唎(二合、长声)”   尔时世尊,复依一切如来为三界之相,为诸菩萨说一切如来灌顶出现智藏般若波罗蜜多理趣法门。所谓:“灌顶施,令得一切三界法王位故;财宝施,令得一切所愿满足故;净法施,令得一切法宝性故;饮食施,令得一切身口意获安乐故。”   佛说如是灌顶般若理趣智藏已,告金刚手菩萨等言:“若有得闻如是灌顶甚深理趣智藏法门,信解受持读诵正念思惟,速能满足菩萨行,疾证无上正等菩提。”   复说密语:   “怛㘕(二合)”   尔时世尊,复依一切如来常住智印密藏相,为诸菩萨宣说一切如来金刚智印甚深般若波罗蜜多理趣法门。 现代汉语译本 法门是这样的:‘一切贪欲的本性是清净的,一切嗔恨的本性是清净的;因为一切贪欲的本性清净,所以一切污垢的本性清净,一切罪过的本性清净;因为一切污垢的本性清净,一切罪过的本性清净,所以一切法的本性清净,一切有情众生的本性清净;因为一切法的本性清净,一切有情众生的本性清净,所以一切智慧的本性清净;因为一切智慧的本性清净,就达到了般若波罗蜜多(智慧到彼岸)最殊胜的清净。’ 佛陀说完这平等智慧印记的般若理趣清净法后,告诉金刚手菩萨(Vajrapani Bodhisattva)等人:‘金刚手!如果有人听闻这观察一切法平等的自在智慧印记的般若波罗蜜多理趣法门,并能信受理解、受持、读诵、正念思维,即使身处五欲尘世中,也不会被外来的尘埃烦恼和各种过失所污染,就像莲花虽然生长在淤泥中,最终也不会被污染一样,乃至迅速证得无上正等菩提(Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi,无上正等觉)。’ 又说了密语: ‘颉唎(二合、长声)’ 这时,世尊又依据一切如来作为三界的象征,为诸菩萨宣说一切如来灌顶出现智藏的般若波罗蜜多理趣法门。内容是:‘灌顶的布施,是为了使人获得一切三界法王的地位;财宝的布施,是为了使人获得一切愿望的满足;清净法的布施,是为了使人获得一切法宝的本性;饮食的布施,是为了使人获得一切身口意都安乐。’ 佛陀说完这灌顶般若理趣智藏后,告诉金刚手菩萨等人:‘如果有人听闻这灌顶甚深理趣智藏法门,并能信受理解、受持、读诵、正念思维,就能迅速圆满菩萨的修行,快速证得无上正等菩提。’ 又说了密语: ‘怛㘕(二合)’ 这时,世尊又依据一切如来常住的智慧印记秘密藏相,为诸菩萨宣说一切如来金刚智慧印记甚深的般若波罗蜜多理趣法门。

English version The Dharma gate is as follows: 'The nature of all greed is pure, the nature of all hatred is pure; because the nature of all greed is pure, therefore the nature of all defilements is pure, the nature of all sins is pure; because the nature of all defilements is pure, the nature of all sins is pure, therefore the nature of all dharmas is pure, the nature of all sentient beings is pure; because the nature of all dharmas is pure, the nature of all sentient beings is pure, therefore the nature of all wisdom is pure; because the nature of all wisdom is pure, one attains the most supreme purity of Prajnaparamita (Perfection of Wisdom).' After the Buddha finished speaking about this pure Dharma of the principle of Prajna with the seal of equal wisdom, he said to Vajrapani Bodhisattva and others: 'Vajrapani! If anyone hears this Dharma gate of the principle of Prajnaparamita with the seal of the wisdom of observing all dharmas as equal and free, and believes, understands, accepts, upholds, recites, and contemplates it with right mindfulness, even if they are in the midst of the five desires, they will not be defiled by external dust, afflictions, and various faults, just like a lotus flower, although it grows in mud, is ultimately not defiled, and will even quickly attain Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi (Unsurpassed Perfect Enlightenment).' Then he spoke the secret mantra: 'Hrih (combined, long sound)' At that time, the World Honored One, based on all Tathagatas as the symbol of the three realms, explained to the Bodhisattvas the Dharma gate of the principle of Prajnaparamita, the treasury of wisdom that appears through the empowerment of all Tathagatas. The content is: 'The giving of empowerment is to enable one to obtain the position of the Dharma King of all three realms; the giving of treasures is to enable one to obtain the fulfillment of all wishes; the giving of pure Dharma is to enable one to obtain the nature of all Dharma treasures; the giving of food and drink is to enable one to obtain peace and happiness in body, speech, and mind.' After the Buddha finished speaking about this treasury of wisdom of the principle of empowerment Prajna, he said to Vajrapani Bodhisattva and others: 'If anyone hears this profound Dharma gate of the treasury of wisdom of the principle of empowerment, and believes, understands, accepts, upholds, recites, and contemplates it with right mindfulness, they will quickly fulfill the practice of a Bodhisattva and quickly attain Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi.' Then he spoke the secret mantra: 'Tram (combined)' At that time, the World Honored One, based on the secret aspect of the seal of wisdom of all Tathagatas' permanence, explained to the Bodhisattvas the profound Dharma gate of the principle of Prajnaparamita with the seal of the Vajra wisdom of all Tathagatas. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version: It is said: ‘By holding the Vajra Body Seal of all Tathagatas (symbolic hand gesture of the body of the Tathagatas), one obtains the true nature of all Tathagatas; by holding the Vajra Speech Seal of all Tathagatas (symbolic hand gesture of the speech of the Tathagatas), one obtains freedom in all Dharmas; by holding the Vajra Mind Seal of all Tathagatas (symbolic hand gesture of the mind of the Tathagatas), one obtains the perfection of all Samadhis (meditative states); by holding the Vajra Wisdom Seal of all Tathagatas by Vajradhara (a Bodhisattva holding a Vajra), one obtains the supreme body, speech, and mind like a Vajra.’ After the Buddha spoke about such Wisdom Seal Dharma, he said to Vajrapani (name of a Bodhisattva) and others: ‘Vajrapani! If anyone hears this profound Prajnaparamita (perfection of wisdom) principle of the Vajra Wisdom of all Tathagatas, and believes, understands, accepts, upholds, recites, and contemplates with right mindfulness, they will achieve the supreme Vajra Wisdom Seal, and in all wisdom and all undertakings, they will attain perfection. Their body, speech, and mind will be like a Vajra, indestructible, and they will quickly attain Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi (supreme enlightenment).’ Again, he spoke the secret mantra: ‘A’ At that time, the World Honored One, based on the aspect of the Tathagatas of all non-conceptual Dharmas (truths beyond verbal concepts), explained to the Bodhisattvas the principle of the Prajnaparamita of the Wheel of Letters. It is said: ‘All Dharmas are empty, because they have no self-nature; all Dharmas are without characteristics, because they are apart from all characteristics; all Dharmas are without wishes, because they are apart from all wishes; and even all Dharmas are pure in their self-nature, which is the pure self-nature of Prajnaparamita.’ After the Buddha spoke about such Dharma of letters that is apart from all conceptualizations, he said to Bodhisattva Vajrapani and others: ‘If anyone hears this Dharma of the Wheel of Letters of non-conceptual Prajna, and believes, understands, accepts, upholds, recites, and contemplates with right mindfulness, they will obtain unobstructed wisdom in all Dharmas, and quickly attain Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi.’ Again, he spoke the secret mantra: ‘Am (upper tone, elongated)’ At that time, the World Honored One, based on the aspect of all Tathagatas entering the vast wheel, explained to the Bodhisattvas the profound principle of the equality of Prajnaparamita of entering the vast wheel. It is said: ‘By entering the equality of Vajra, one enters the wheel of all Tathagatas; by entering the equality of meaning, one enters the wheel of all Bodhisattva Dharmas; by entering --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
