是众相。如来亦尔,由众生故,入于种种威仪行处,一切皆见。然实如来不可称说、无起无尽、无字无声、无有方所、无性无相、无二无行,等真法界非可触对。 “文殊师利!譬如日映须弥山故,四洲众生或见初出、或见日中、或见渐暮、或见初没、或见夜半、或见渐曙;但一日轮,随四天下诸众生见各各不同。日无分别,但由山蔽,自然四洲所见各异。如来亦尔,于一众会,或见如来将成正觉、已成正觉;将入涅槃、已入涅槃;或见成佛已经十年,乃至已经不可说劫;或见涅槃已经十年,乃至已经百千亿劫;或见如来一十、二十,或四十年在世说法;或见法住,或见法灭。然佛曾无异念分别,由众生故,自然有是种种事起。 “文殊师利!譬如大风吹阎浮提,一切草木枝叶纷乱,东西南北或靡或起,草木终无种种分别,但由风故,种种相生。如来亦尔,常无分别,由众生力,于念念中,见有如是无量众行威仪相起,乃至作意,缘诸众生,令尔所劫,得断地狱、畜生、饿鬼、阎罗等趣。 “文殊师利!如来成就如是无量微妙功德。” “文殊师利!如来作意一念所缘,诸大菩萨,无量百千那由他劫,住不思议解脱三昧,不能知其功德边际。 “文殊师利!譬如日轮从大海出,住虚空 现代汉语译本:是(这些)众多的表象。如来也是如此,因为众生的缘故,进入种种威仪的行止之处,一切众生都能看见。然而实际上,如来是不可言说的,没有开始也没有结束,没有文字也没有声音,没有固定的方位,没有自性也没有表象,没有对立也没有行为,等同于真实的法界,是不可触及和对立的。 ‘文殊师利!’譬如太阳照耀须弥山,四大洲的众生有的看见太阳初升,有的看见日当正午,有的看见太阳西斜,有的看见太阳初落,有的看见半夜,有的看见黎明将至;但实际上只有一个太阳,随着四大天下众生的视角不同,所见各不相同。太阳本身没有分别,只是因为山峦的遮挡,自然而然地导致四大洲所见各异。如来也是如此,在同一个法会中,有的看见如来将要成正觉,有的看见如来已经成正觉;有的看见如来将要入涅槃,有的看见如来已经入涅槃;有的看见如来成佛已经十年,乃至已经不可说劫;有的看见如来入涅槃已经十年,乃至已经百千亿劫;有的看见如来在世说法十年、二十年,或者四十年;有的看见佛法住世,有的看见佛法灭亡。然而佛陀从来没有不同的念头和分别,因为众生的缘故,自然而然地产生这些种种的事情。 ‘文殊师利!’譬如大风吹拂阎浮提,一切草木的枝叶纷纷散乱,东西南北有的倾倒有的竖起,草木本身并没有种种分别,只是因为风的缘故,产生种种不同的景象。如来也是如此,常常没有分别,因为众生的力量,在每一个念头中,看见有如此无量众多的行为和威仪的表象产生,乃至发愿,为了众生的缘故,令他们经过那么多的劫数,得以断除地狱、畜生、饿鬼、阎罗等恶道。 ‘文殊师利!’如来成就了如此无量微妙的功德。 ‘文殊师利!’如来一念之间所缘的境界,诸大菩萨,经过无量百千那由他劫,安住于不可思议的解脱三昧之中,也不能知道其功德的边际。 ‘文殊师利!’譬如太阳从大海升起,停留在虚空之中

English version: These are the various appearances. The Tathagata is also like this; because of sentient beings, he enters into various dignified conducts, and all can see them. However, in reality, the Tathagata is indescribable, without beginning or end, without words or sounds, without a fixed location, without self-nature or appearance, without duality or action, equal to the true Dharma realm, which cannot be touched or opposed. ‘Manjushri!’ For example, when the sun shines on Mount Sumeru, the sentient beings of the four continents may see the sun rising, or at midday, or gradually setting, or just setting, or at midnight, or gradually dawning; but there is only one sun, and depending on the different perspectives of the sentient beings in the four continents, their perceptions vary. The sun itself has no discrimination, but due to the obstruction of the mountains, the perceptions of the four continents naturally differ. The Tathagata is also like this; in one assembly, some see the Tathagata about to attain enlightenment, some see the Tathagata already enlightened; some see the Tathagata about to enter Nirvana, some see the Tathagata already entered Nirvana; some see the Tathagata having become a Buddha for ten years, or even for incalculable kalpas; some see the Tathagata having entered Nirvana for ten years, or even for hundreds of thousands of billions of kalpas; some see the Tathagata teaching for ten, twenty, or forty years; some see the Dharma abiding, some see the Dharma extinguished. However, the Buddha never has different thoughts or discriminations; because of sentient beings, these various things naturally arise. ‘Manjushri!’ For example, when a great wind blows across Jambudvipa, the branches and leaves of all plants are scattered, some falling and some rising in the east, west, south, and north. The plants themselves have no discrimination, but due to the wind, various appearances arise. The Tathagata is also like this; he is always without discrimination, but due to the power of sentient beings, in every thought, he sees the arising of such immeasurable dignified conducts, and even makes vows, for the sake of sentient beings, to enable them to cut off the paths of hell, animals, hungry ghosts, and Yama after so many kalpas. ‘Manjushri!’ The Tathagata has accomplished such immeasurable and subtle merits and virtues. ‘Manjushri!’ The realm that the Tathagata contemplates in a single thought, even if the great Bodhisattvas dwell in inconceivable liberation samadhi for immeasurable hundreds of thousands of nayutas of kalpas, they cannot know the extent of its merits and virtues. ‘Manjushri!’ For example, the sun rises from the great ocean and dwells in the sky --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version: 'It is like Mount Sumeru (the king of mountains in Buddhist cosmology), towering and magnificent, its brilliance overshadowing other mountains; if a Bodhisattva believes and understands this Dharma, their merit and virtue will be pure and majestic, also overshadowing all the good roots of all sentient beings, it is just like that.' At that time, Manjusri (the Bodhisattva of wisdom) said to Eliminator of All Coverings Bodhisattva: 'Son of Buddha! There are even more superior Dharmas. If Bodhisattvas can believe and understand these, they will achieve even more superior merits and virtues.' Having heard this, Eliminator of All Coverings Bodhisattva said to Manjusri: 'If a Bodhisattva believes and understands five Dharmas, they can surpass this superior Dharma and obtain other immeasurable superior merits and virtues. What are the five? First, believe and understand that all Dharmas are neither arising nor ceasing, cannot be described, are incomparable, and have no opposite. Second, believe and understand that the Tathagata (a title for the Buddha) is without effort, without discrimination, entering into places of dignified conduct that exceed the number of dust particles in Jambudvipa (the world we live in), arising constantly in every moment. Third, believe and understand that when Sakyamuni (the historical Buddha) taught King Sudhabha (a king) in the past, it was only to mature sentient beings, but in reality, he had already attained perfect enlightenment countless kalpas (eons) ago. Fourth, believe and understand that from the time Sakyamuni received the prediction from Dipankara Buddha (a past Buddha) until he became a Buddha, he practiced the Bodhisattva path during this time, but in reality, he had already attained perfect enlightenment countless kalpas ago, dwelling in the realm of Buddhahood. Fifth, believe and understand that Sakyamuni manifested his birth in the royal palace, and the Sakya clan (the Buddha's clan) was persecuted, only to mature sentient beings, but in reality, he had already attained perfect enlightenment countless kalpas ago.' 'Manjusri! If a Bodhisattva can generate faith and understanding in these five Dharmas, they can surpass this superior Dharma and achieve even more superior merits and virtues.' 'Manjusri! If a virtuous man or virtuous woman, for kalpas as numerous as the sands of the Ganges River, daily offers heavenly delicacies and heavenly fine clothing to Arhats (enlightened beings) as numerous as the dust particles in the ten directions, who possess the six supernormal powers and the eight liberations, the merit and virtue they obtain is not as great as someone who, in a single day, offers food to just one Pratyekabuddha (a solitary enlightened one), whose merit and virtue surpasses the former by asamkhya (countless) times.'

祇辟支佛等,造十方界微尘等精舍,一一皆以阎浮檀金所成,摩尼为柱,阶陛栏楯,楼阁户牖,咸以众宝种种庄严,施大宝帐,涂妙栴檀;日日以天百味饮食及天妙衣恭敬供养,于恒沙劫,不如有人或闻佛名、或世尊名、或如来名、或一切智名,所得功德复过于彼阿僧祇倍。况以彩画、或以泥塑作如来像,观见之者,福又过彼阿僧祇倍。况以灯油、香花、伎乐种种供养,福又过彼阿僧祇倍。何况有能于佛法中,下至一日护持一戒,福转过彼阿僧祇倍。 “文殊师利!若有善男子、善女人,于恒河沙劫,日日以天百味饮食及天妙衣,供十方界微尘等诸佛菩萨及声闻众。诸佛灭后,一一皆起十方界微尘等塔,一一塔量遍四天下,形制奇妙,众宝庄严;幡盖、伎乐,诸供养具,逾胜于前,虽诸功德皆悉具足,未能信解此法门者,不如有人能信解是入如来智德不思议境界法门,乃至以一抟食施于畜生,其福过彼阿僧祇倍。 “文殊师利!若有菩萨信解此经,如其所说供养诸佛,有余菩萨闻已欢喜,生净信心,从坐而起,合掌作礼,随其所堪,修行供养,福又过彼阿僧祇倍,是人不久得佛智故。” 说是经时,彼诸比丘及菩萨众,一切世间天、人、阿修罗等,欢喜信受,作礼奉行。 大方广入如来智德 现代汉语译本:即使有辟支佛(独觉的圣者)等,建造遍布十方世界如微尘般众多的精舍(寺庙),每一座都用阎浮檀金(一种珍贵的金色)制成,以摩尼宝珠为柱,阶梯栏杆,楼阁门窗,都用各种珍宝庄严装饰,施以大宝帐,涂上美妙的栴檀香;每天用天上的百味饮食和天上的美妙衣物恭敬供养,持续恒河沙数劫的时间,也不如有人听到佛的名号、世尊的名号、如来的名号、或一切智的名号,所获得的功德还要超过他们无数倍。更何况用彩绘或泥塑制作如来像,看到的人,福报又超过他们无数倍。更何况用灯油、香花、伎乐等各种方式供养,福报又超过他们无数倍。更何况有人能在佛法中,哪怕只是一天护持一条戒律,福报更要超过他们无数倍。 文殊师利(菩萨名)!如果有善男子、善女人,在恒河沙数劫的时间里,每天用天上的百味饮食和天上的美妙衣物,供养十方世界如微尘般众多的诸佛菩萨和声闻众(佛陀的弟子)。诸佛灭度后,每一位都建造十方世界如微尘般众多的佛塔,每一座塔的体积都遍布四天下(古代印度人认为的世界),形状奇特美妙,用各种珍宝装饰;幡盖、伎乐,各种供养的器具,比之前的供养还要殊胜,虽然这些功德都完全具备,但如果不能信解这个法门,还不如有人能够信解这个进入如来智慧功德不可思议境界的法门,哪怕只用一小团食物布施给畜生,他的福报也要超过他们无数倍。 文殊师利!如果有菩萨信解这部经,按照经中所说供养诸佛,有其他菩萨听了之后欢喜,生起清净的信心,从座位上站起来,合掌作礼,随自己的能力,修行供养,福报又要超过他们无数倍,这个人不久就能获得佛的智慧。 当宣说这部经的时候,那些比丘(出家僧人)和菩萨众,以及一切世间的天人、阿修罗(一种神道)等,都欢喜信受,作礼奉行。 《大方广入如来智德》
