白佛言:“惟天中天!其世人民不解如来、至真、等正觉随时之化,则自侵欺,不了如来何因分别菩萨大士持信奉法至于缘觉也?” 世尊告曰:“若有明者,于过去佛积功累德,心开意达,不见侵欺。所以者何?晓了诸法譬若幻梦影响、野马水月。所以者何?菩萨大士分别此慧,则不自侵;殷勤修学如来之法,精进不懈,则不自枉。” 佛于是颂曰: “世尊之所赞, 赞扬于圣道, 是故之因缘, 菩萨行勇猛。 少智懈怠者, 不能解此义, 故当修精进, 如来以此说。 道意所游生, 世尊有开化, 故分别此慧, 清净之明哲。 彼解道意者, 知圣不可获, 若致得知轨, 心觉五事空。 空者不知空, 寂定非不言, 悉除一切音, 故赞唱空法。 捉空无所得, 未尝能获者, 假使不可持, 则知为空义。 设有解是五, 分别了空慧, 成得无放逸, 则不自侵欺。” 尔时,五亿比丘志怀持信,即从坐起,住世尊前,叉手自归,异口同音而歌颂曰: “今世尊大圣, 蠲除诸狐疑, 平等觉所宣, 志立于大道。” 复有五亿比丘闻是之说,皆悉奉行,悉住佛前,等心颂曰: “唯世之光耀 现代汉语译本 白(指佛陀的弟子)对佛说:‘世尊!世间的人们不理解如来(Tathagata,佛的称号)、至真(Satya,真理)、等正觉(Samyak-sambuddha,完全觉悟者)随时随地的教化,就会自己欺骗自己,不明白如来为何要区分菩萨(Bodhisattva,追求觉悟的修行者)、大士(Mahasattva,伟大的修行者)的持信奉法和缘觉(Pratyekabuddha,独自觉悟者)的修行?’ 世尊(Bhagavan,佛的尊称)回答说:‘如果有人明智,在过去佛(Buddha,觉悟者)那里积累功德,心开意解,就不会被自己欺骗。为什么呢?因为他们明白一切法(Dharma,宇宙的真理)都像幻影、梦境、回声、野马、水中的月亮一样虚幻不实。为什么呢?菩萨大士能够分辨这种智慧,就不会自己欺骗自己;他们勤奋修学如来的教法,精进不懈,就不会白费功夫。’ 佛于是用偈颂说道: ‘世尊所赞叹的,是赞扬圣道(Arya-marga,通往解脱的道路),因此,菩萨修行勇猛精进。 少智慧和懈怠的人,不能理解这个道理,所以应当修习精进,如来是这样说的。 道意(Bodhi,觉悟)所产生的,世尊已经开示教化,所以要分辨这种智慧,这是清净的明智。 那些理解道意的人,知道圣者(Arya,已证悟者)是不可执着的,如果能够知道修行的规则,内心就会觉悟到五蕴(Skandha,构成个体存在的五种要素)皆空。 空性(Sunyata,空无自性)不是什么都不知道,寂静(Samatha,止)也不是什么都不说,而是要消除一切声音,所以赞叹空性的教法。 执着于空性也一无所得,从来没有人能够获得,即使空性不可执持,也应该知道这就是空性的意义。 如果有人理解这五蕴皆空,分辨了空性的智慧,成就了不放逸(Apramada,精进),就不会自己欺骗自己。’ 当时,五亿比丘(Bhiksu,出家修行者)心怀信仰,立即从座位上站起来,站在世尊面前,合掌归敬,异口同声地歌颂道: ‘如今世尊大圣,消除了我们所有的疑惑,平等觉悟所宣说的教法,使我们立志于大道(Mahayana,大乘佛教)。’ 又有五亿比丘听了这些话,都信奉修行,都站在佛前,同心歌颂道: ‘唯有世尊是世间的光明!’

English version The disciple said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One! The people of this world do not understand the teachings of the Tathagata (the thus-gone one, an epithet of the Buddha), the Satya (truth), and the Samyak-sambuddha (perfectly enlightened one) at all times, and thus deceive themselves. They do not understand why the Tathagata distinguishes between the Bodhisattvas (beings striving for enlightenment), the Mahasattvas (great beings), who uphold faith and practice the Dharma (teachings), and the Pratyekabuddhas (solitary realizers)?' The World Honored One replied: 'If there are wise ones who have accumulated merit and virtue with past Buddhas, and whose minds are open and understanding, they will not be deceived by themselves. Why is this? Because they understand that all dharmas (phenomena) are like illusions, dreams, echoes, mirages, and the moon in water—unreal and insubstantial. Why is this? Because Bodhisattvas and Mahasattvas can discern this wisdom, they will not deceive themselves; they diligently study the Tathagata's teachings, and with unremitting effort, they will not waste their efforts.' The Buddha then spoke in verse: 'What the World Honored One praises, is the praise of the Noble Path (Arya-marga), therefore, Bodhisattvas practice with courage and vigor. Those with little wisdom and who are lazy cannot understand this meaning, so they should cultivate diligence, as the Tathagata has said. The arising of Bodhi (enlightenment), the World Honored One has revealed and taught, so one should discern this wisdom, which is pure and clear understanding. Those who understand the meaning of Bodhi know that the Noble Ones (Aryas) are not to be grasped, and if they can know the rules of practice, their hearts will realize that the five skandhas (aggregates of existence) are empty. Emptiness (Sunyata) is not not knowing, and stillness (Samatha) is not not speaking, but rather eliminating all sounds, therefore, the teaching of emptiness is praised. Grasping emptiness gains nothing, and no one has ever been able to obtain it. Even if emptiness cannot be held, one should know that this is the meaning of emptiness. If someone understands that these five skandhas are empty, discerns the wisdom of emptiness, and achieves non-negligence (Apramada), they will not deceive themselves.' At that time, five hundred million Bhiksus (monks) with faith in their hearts, immediately rose from their seats, stood before the World Honored One, joined their palms in reverence, and sang in unison: 'Now the World Honored One, the Great Sage, has dispelled all our doubts, and the teachings proclaimed by the perfectly enlightened one have established our resolve on the Great Path (Mahayana).' Another five hundred million Bhiksus, having heard these words, all practiced accordingly, stood before the Buddha, and sang with one heart: 'Only the World Honored One is the light of the world!' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- , 吾今离犹豫, 圣尊之所叹, 分别佛大道。 志愿奉法迹, 正慧无挂碍, 道德自然成, 开化诸十方。”

English version Now I am free from doubt, What the Holy One praised is the great path of the Buddha. I am willing to follow the path of the Dharma, with right wisdom unhindered, Morality naturally accomplished, enlightening all ten directions. Again, there were a billion Bhikkhus with eight kinds of thoughts, hearing this verse of praise, they immediately rose from their seats, folded their hands, and together sang: 'The eight kinds of thoughts held in the heart, now the net of doubt is released, The heart has already discerned, the cause is seeing these eight kinds of thoughts.' Again, there were ten billion Bhikkhus with the thought of the path of practice, rising from their seats, folding their hands, and together saying in verse: 'The Teacher and our kind, have all obtained the illumination of the Dharma, Only then do we know the equal enlightenment, the cause is expounding the path of practice.' Again, there were two million five hundred thousand Bhikkhus with the thought of coming and going (referring to the cycle of birth and death in the desire realm), then they rose from their seats, folded their hands in reverence, and together praised and sang: 'We originally relied on, the thought of coming and going in birth and death, Today there will never be suffering, between existence and non-existence, we will not be negligent.' Again, there were five billion Bhikkhus with the thought of non-returning (referring to not returning to the desire realm for rebirth), and they said in verse: 'The Teacher is supreme and unsurpassed, today there is no more idle talk, Forever abandoning the thought of various fruits, reaching the guidance and radiance of the saints.' Again, there were thirty-five billion Bhikkhus with the thought of non-attachment, arising in the four dhyanas, then they rose from their seats, folded their hands, and said in verse: 'Now I am no longer in doubt, having attained the complete Dharma, Understanding the equality of all vehicles, like an illusion.' Again, there were fifty-eight billion Bhikkhus with the thought of Sravakas (those who attain enlightenment by hearing the Buddha's teachings), then they rose from their seats, folded their hands, and praised: 'We have committed such words, wanting to liberate sentient beings, What was expounded was called Sravaka, today we truly understand.' Again, there were five billion Bhikkhus who immediately rose from their seats, arising with the thought of Pratyekabuddhas (those who attain enlightenment on their own, without a teacher), folded their hands, and together sang: 'Today we have personally witnessed, the cause of enlightenment of the Pratyekabuddhas, The World Honored One distinguishes -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 别说, 缘觉无思想。”
