“世尊!我等从今日已,若于行菩萨乘富伽罗所而起我慢,说彼恶事若实若虚,我等则为欺诳如来。 “世尊!我等从今日已,见菩萨乘富伽罗者,若在家若出家,受五欲果报富乐游戏娱乐。见是事已,生不信心,取彼过失,不生敬心,不作师想者,我等则为欺诳如来。 “世尊!我等从今日已,于亲友家乞丐家因缘,行菩萨乘富伽罗所,若逼切身心者,我等则为欺诳如来。 “世尊!我等从今日已,行菩萨乘富伽罗所,出不喜声及骂詈声,我等则为欺诳如来。 “世尊!我等从今日已,于昼三时及夜三时,一切菩萨乘富伽罗所不礼拜者,我等则为欺诳如来。 “世尊!我等从今日已,为护此受故,若身若命而不舍者,我等则为欺诳如来。 “世尊!我等从今日已,若声闻乘、若辟支佛乘富伽罗所,若起胜念自大非彼,我等则为欺诳如来。 “世尊!我等从今日已,于游行时,若不作卑下心,如旃陀罗及如狗犬,若不作如是行者,我等则为欺诳如来。 “世尊!我等从今日已,若自称誉,毁谤于他,我等则为欺诳如来。 “世尊!我等从今日已,怖瞋斗故,若不离彼去百由旬犹如风吹者,我等则为欺诳如来。 “世 现代汉语译本 慢心,我们这样做就等于是欺骗如来。 ‘世尊!我们从今天起,如果对修行菩萨乘的补特伽罗(pudgala,指人)生起我慢,说他们的坏话,不论是真是假,我们都等于是欺骗如来。’ ‘世尊!我们从今天起,见到修行菩萨乘的补特伽罗,无论是在家还是出家,享受五欲的果报,富裕快乐地嬉戏娱乐。见到这些事后,如果生不起信心,反而挑剔他们的过失,不生恭敬心,不把他们当作老师看待,我们都等于是欺骗如来。’ ‘世尊!我们从今天起,因为亲友或乞丐的缘故,在修行菩萨乘的补特伽罗那里,如果逼迫他们的身心,我们都等于是欺骗如来。’ ‘世尊!我们从今天起,在修行菩萨乘的补特伽罗那里,发出不悦的声音或谩骂的声音,我们都等于是欺骗如来。’ ‘世尊!我们从今天起,在白天三个时段和夜晚三个时段,不对一切修行菩萨乘的补特伽罗礼拜,我们都等于是欺骗如来。’ ‘世尊!我们从今天起,为了守护这个誓言,即使是生命也不放弃,我们都等于是欺骗如来。’ ‘世尊!我们从今天起,如果对修行声闻乘或辟支佛乘的补特伽罗,生起自以为是的念头,自大而轻视他们,我们都等于是欺骗如来。’ ‘世尊!我们从今天起,在**时,如果不保持谦卑的心,像旃陀罗(candala,指贱民)或狗一样,如果不这样做,我们都等于是欺骗如来。’ ‘世尊!我们从今天起,如果自我赞扬,毁谤他人,我们都等于是欺骗如来。’ ‘世尊!我们从今天起,因为害怕嗔恨和争斗,如果不像被风吹一样远离他们百由旬(yojana,古印度长度单位),我们都等于是欺骗如来。’

English version Arrogance, by doing so, we would be deceiving the Tathagata. 'World Honored One! From this day forward, if we harbor arrogance towards those who are practicing the Bodhisattva path (pudgala), and speak ill of them, whether true or false, we would be deceiving the Tathagata.' 'World Honored One! From this day forward, when we see those who are practicing the Bodhisattva path, whether they are lay or monastic, enjoying the fruits of the five desires, living in wealth and pleasure, and engaging in entertainment. Upon seeing these things, if we do not generate faith, but instead find fault with them, do not generate respect, and do not regard them as teachers, we would be deceiving the Tathagata.' 'World Honored One! From this day forward, due to the circumstances of relatives or beggars, if we cause distress to the body and mind of those who are practicing the Bodhisattva path, we would be deceiving the Tathagata.'

尊!我等从今日已,于持戒者我应敬念,若多闻者、若头陀功德及省事者并余功德,若不赞说,我等则为欺诳如来。 “世尊!我等从今日已,若不覆藏己之功德,开示己恶,我等则为欺诳如来。” 尔时世尊赞彼六十行菩萨乘富伽罗言:“善哉,善哉!诸善男子!汝等善说此诸誓愿,能自发觉,善作是愿。汝等如是住者,当尽一切业障,当得善根净。” 尔时世尊复告弥勒菩萨摩诃萨言:“弥勒!若有菩萨欲净业障,当作是愿。” 尔时弥勒菩萨摩诃萨复白佛言:“世尊!颇有善男子等护持此愿,当得满足不退转不?” 佛告弥勒:“有诸菩萨受行是愿,彼善男子、善女人,宁舍身命不缺此行,亦不退舍。” 尔时弥勒菩萨复白佛言:“世尊!行菩萨乘富伽罗等,具足几法,于后五百岁法欲坏时,无损无害而得免脱?” 尔时佛告弥勒菩萨言:“其具足有四种法,于后五百岁法欲坏时,不损不害而得免脱。何等为四?不求他过;于菩萨乘富伽罗所有犯罪处而不发觉;于善友家及施主家不生吝惜;舍离恶言。弥勒!是为行菩萨乘富伽罗等具足四法,于后未来五百岁时,不损不害当得免脱。” 尔时世尊欲重宣此义,而说偈言: “莫于他边见过失, 勿说他人 现代汉语译本: “尊者!我们从今天起,对于持戒的人,我们应当尊敬和忆念;对于博学多闻的人、对于修头陀苦行(dhūta-guṇa,指佛教的一种苦行方式)有功德的人、对于事务简省的人以及其他有功德的人,如果我们不赞美称颂,我们就是欺骗如来(tathāgata,佛的称号)。” “世尊!我们从今天起,如果不隐瞒自己的功德,反而揭示自己的过错,我们就是欺骗如来。” 这时,世尊赞叹那六十位行菩萨乘(bodhisattva-yāna,菩萨的修行方式)的补特伽罗(pudgala,指人)说:“好啊,好啊!各位善男子!你们善于说出这些誓愿,能够自我觉悟,善于发这样的愿。你们如果这样安住,就能够消除一切业障,获得清净的善根。” 这时,世尊又告诉弥勒菩萨摩诃萨(mahasattva,大菩萨)说:“弥勒!如果有菩萨想要清净业障,应当发这样的愿。” 这时,弥勒菩萨摩诃萨又对佛说:“世尊!是否有善男子等护持这些誓愿,能够得到满足,不退转呢?” 佛告诉弥勒:“有菩萨受持这些誓愿,那些善男子、善女人,宁可舍弃生命也不会违背这些修行,也不会退失。” 这时,弥勒菩萨又对佛说:“世尊!行菩萨乘的补特伽罗等,具足几种法,在后五百岁法将要衰败时,能够不受损害而得到解脱呢?” 这时,佛告诉弥勒菩萨说:“他们具足四种法,在后五百岁法将要衰败时,能够不受损害而得到解脱。是哪四种呢?不寻求他人的过失;对于行菩萨乘的补特伽罗所犯的错误不加以揭发;对于善友家和施主家不生吝啬之心;舍弃恶语。弥勒!这就是行菩萨乘的补特伽罗等具足的四种法,在未来后五百岁时,能够不受损害而得到解脱。” 这时,世尊想要重申这个道理,就说了偈语: ‘不要在他人那里寻找过失,不要说他人的过错’

English version: 'Venerable One! From today onwards, we should respect and remember those who uphold the precepts; those who are learned, those who have the merits of practicing dhūta-guṇa (ascetic practices), those who are simple in their affairs, and others with merits. If we do not praise and extol them, we would be deceiving the Tathāgata (the Buddha).' 'World Honored One! From today onwards, if we do not conceal our own merits but instead reveal our own faults, we would be deceiving the Tathāgata.' At that time, the World Honored One praised those sixty pudgalas (persons) who were practicing the bodhisattva-yāna (the path of a bodhisattva), saying, 'Excellent, excellent! Good men! You have spoken well these vows, able to awaken yourselves, and have made these vows well. If you abide in this way, you will exhaust all karmic hindrances and attain pure roots of goodness.' At that time, the World Honored One again said to the bodhisattva mahasattva (great bodhisattva) Maitreya, 'Maitreya! If there are bodhisattvas who wish to purify their karmic hindrances, they should make these vows.' At that time, the bodhisattva mahasattva Maitreya again said to the Buddha, 'World Honored One! Are there good men and others who uphold these vows, who will be able to attain fulfillment and non-retrogression?' The Buddha told Maitreya, 'There are bodhisattvas who receive and practice these vows. Those good men and good women would rather give up their lives than violate these practices, and they will not regress.' At that time, Maitreya Bodhisattva again said to the Buddha, 'World Honored One! How many dharmas (teachings) do the pudgalas and others who practice the bodhisattva-yāna need to possess in order to be unharmed and liberated when the Dharma is about to decline in the latter five hundred years?' At that time, the Buddha told Maitreya Bodhisattva, 'They possess four dharmas, and when the Dharma is about to decline in the latter five hundred years, they will be unharmed and liberated. What are the four? Not seeking the faults of others; not revealing the faults of those who practice the bodhisattva-yāna; not being stingy towards the families of good friends and benefactors; abandoning harsh words. Maitreya! These are the four dharmas that the pudgalas and others who practice the bodhisattva-yāna possess, and in the latter five hundred years of the future, they will be unharmed and liberated.' At that time, the World Honored One, wishing to reiterate this meaning, spoke in verse: 'Do not seek faults in others, do not speak of the faults of others.' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 是与非, 不着他家净活命, 诸所恶言当弃舍。

“复有四法,行菩萨乘富伽罗等,后五百岁法欲坏时、比丘坏时,无损无害而得免脱。何等为四?所谓不相应众生应当弃舍;远离大众;常修兰若;降伏己身与此相应。弥勒!行菩萨乘富伽罗等具四法者,于彼后时五百岁中法欲灭时,能于自身不损不害,安隐解脱。” 尔时世尊而说偈言: “弃舍众闹极远离, 无法比丘勿亲近, 当修兰若佛所赞, 不着利故得涅槃。 “是故,弥勒!菩萨于后五百岁时,欲自不损不害而得解脱,一切业障欲得免者,勿亲秽闹,应住兰若空闲园林,离不相应诸众生等,常自省察莫求他过,爱乐默然,当与般若波罗蜜相应,于诸众生起慈愍心,而为说法勿求恩报。” 尔时世尊复告弥勒菩萨言: “善男子!法施有二十功德,不求果报、不着利养及与名闻而为说法。何等二十?得正忆念;得胜妙趣;得好正意;得强志力;得多智慧;觉悟出世般若波罗蜜;当得少欲;当灭瞋恚;当灭愚痴;一切诸魔不得其便;诸佛护念;非人守护;诸天与力;一切冤家不得其便;凡所亲友无人能坏;凡所出言人必信受;得无所畏;凡有行处恒常欢喜;智者赞叹;所行法施恒为他念。弥勒!是为法施不求 现代汉语译本 是与非,不依附他人而活,所有恶言都应当抛弃。 ‘还有四种方法,修行菩萨乘的补特伽罗(pudgala,指人)等,在后五百岁佛法将要衰败、僧团将要败坏时,能够无损无害地获得解脱。是哪四种呢?就是说,对于不相应的众生应当舍弃;远离大众;经常修习寂静处;降伏自己的身心并与此相应。弥勒!修行菩萨乘的补特伽罗等,具备这四种方法,在后世五百岁佛法将要灭亡时,能够使自身不受损害,安稳地获得解脱。’ 那时,世尊说了偈语: ‘舍弃喧闹,极度远离,不要亲近没有佛法的比丘,应当修习佛所赞叹的寂静处,不贪求利益,从而获得涅槃。’ ‘因此,弥勒!菩萨在后五百岁时,想要自身不受损害而获得解脱,想要免除一切业障,就不要亲近污秽喧闹的地方,应当住在寂静的园林中,远离不相应的众生等,经常自我反省,不要寻求他人的过失,喜爱沉默,应当与般若波罗蜜(prajnaparamita,指智慧的完美)相应,对于一切众生生起慈悲怜悯之心,而为他们说法,不要寻求回报。’ 那时,世尊又告诉弥勒菩萨说: ‘善男子!法布施有二十种功德,不求果报、不贪求利益和名声而为他人说法。是哪二十种呢?获得正确的忆念;获得殊胜的去处;获得良好的正念;获得坚强的意志力;获得更多的智慧;觉悟出世的般若波罗蜜;应当减少欲望;应当灭除嗔恨;应当灭除愚痴;一切魔障都不能得逞;诸佛护念;非人守护;诸天给予力量;一切冤家都不能得逞;所有亲友无人能够破坏;所有说出的话人们必定相信接受;获得无所畏惧;所有行走的地方都恒常欢喜;智者赞叹;所行的法布施恒常被他人忆念。弥勒!这就是法布施不求

English version Right and wrong, not living by relying on others, all evil words should be discarded. 'Furthermore, there are four methods by which those who practice the Bodhisattva path, such as pudgalas (persons), can attain liberation without harm or loss when the Dharma is about to decline and the Sangha is about to be corrupted in the latter five hundred years. What are these four? They are: one should abandon those beings who are not in accord; one should stay away from the masses; one should constantly practice in secluded places; and one should subdue one's own body and mind and be in accord with this. Maitreya! Those who practice the Bodhisattva path, such as pudgalas, who possess these four methods, will be able to attain peaceful liberation without harm or loss to themselves when the Dharma is about to perish in the latter five hundred years.' At that time, the World Honored One spoke in verse: 'Abandon the noisy crowds, stay extremely far away, do not associate with bhikkhus who do not have the Dharma, one should practice in secluded places praised by the Buddha, not seeking gain, thereby attaining Nirvana.' 'Therefore, Maitreya! When Bodhisattvas in the latter five hundred years wish to attain liberation without harm or loss to themselves, and wish to be free from all karmic obstacles, they should not associate with defiled and noisy places, but should dwell in secluded gardens and forests, stay away from beings who are not in accord, constantly reflect on themselves, not seek the faults of others, love silence, should be in accord with prajnaparamita (the perfection of wisdom), and generate compassion and pity for all beings, and teach them the Dharma without seeking reward.' At that time, the World Honored One again said to Bodhisattva Maitreya: 'Good man! There are twenty merits of giving the Dharma, teaching others without seeking reward, gain, or fame. What are these twenty? One obtains correct mindfulness; one obtains a superior destination; one obtains good right intention; one obtains strong willpower; one obtains more wisdom; one awakens to the transcendental prajnaparamita; one should reduce desires; one should extinguish anger; one should extinguish ignorance; all demonic obstacles cannot succeed; the Buddhas protect and remember; non-humans protect; the devas give strength; all enemies cannot succeed; all friends cannot be destroyed; all words spoken will be believed and accepted; one obtains fearlessness; all places one walks are always joyful; the wise praise; the Dharma given is always remembered by others. Maitreya! This is the Dharma giving without seeking --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
