。若以寂然则无颠倒，则无反覆。以无反覆，是则菩萨弟子、缘觉、如来至真，无有思想。愚騃之夫乃想道耳，不谓智者。” 超度无虚迹默然无言。 于是贤者须菩提，谓大弟子及诸菩萨：“便从是还，不须入城，复行分卫。所以者何？是应分卫饮食供馔。离垢施女向者说法，我等听受，今日则当以法为食。” 时女答曰：“唯须菩提！向者所说，无举无下。仁者云何有所志愿？而怀想念，欲诣精舍，而处游居。唯须菩提！沙门之行出所止处，无有放逸，不乐自恣。沙门之法而无所著，其无所著，则无恚恨，不怀恨者则无所行，无所行者，贤圣之谓。” 八大弟子及八菩萨、五百梵志，离垢施女、王波斯匿及余大众，往诣佛所，稽首足下，绕佛三匝却在前坐。离垢施女绕佛七匝，住世尊前，以偈歌颂而问事矣： “我问于世尊， 无著难得伦， 清净无所倚， 名称不可量， 救济于众生， 施以甘露悦： ‘云何为菩萨， 而成就其行。’” 于是离垢施，长跪叉手问世尊曰：“何谓菩萨在于树下降魔官属？何谓菩萨震动一切诸佛之土？何谓菩萨演光普照无量佛国？何谓菩萨而从诸佛逮总持法？何谓菩萨寂然定意而成三昧？何谓菩萨究竟众行而获神足？何谓菩萨而 现代汉语译本：如果以寂静的状态来看待，就不会有颠倒，也就没有反复。因为没有反复，所以菩萨弟子、缘觉、如来这些至真之人，都没有思想。只有愚昧无知的人才会执着于道，智者不会这样认为。 超度众生没有虚假的痕迹，寂静无言。 于是贤者须菩提（Subhuti），对大弟子和各位菩萨说：‘我们从这里返回，不必进城，继续去乞食。为什么呢？因为我们应该乞食来供养。离垢施女（Vimaladatta）刚才为我们说法，我们已经听受了，今天就应当以法为食。’ 当时，离垢施女回答说：‘唯须菩提（Subhuti）！刚才所说的法，没有高下之分。您为什么还有所愿望？还怀有想念，想要去精舍，在那里居住呢？唯须菩提（Subhuti）！沙门的修行是离开所住之处，不放纵自己，不贪图安逸。沙门的法则是无所执着，无所执着就不会有嗔恨，不怀恨的人就不会有所作为，无所作为的人，就是贤圣之人。’ 八大弟子和八大菩萨、五百梵志，离垢施女（Vimaladatta）、国王波斯匿（Prasenajit）以及其他大众，前往佛陀所在之处，顶礼佛足，绕佛三圈后在前面坐下。离垢施女（Vimaladatta）绕佛七圈，站在世尊面前，用偈颂歌唱并请教问题： ‘我请问世尊，无执着难以比拟，清净无所依靠，名号不可衡量，救济众生，施予甘露般的喜悦：‘如何成为菩萨，才能成就其修行？’ 于是离垢施女（Vimaladatta），长跪合掌问世尊说：‘什么是菩萨在树下降伏魔官属？什么是菩萨震动一切诸佛的国土？什么是菩萨演放光明普照无量佛国？什么是菩萨从诸佛那里获得总持法？什么是菩萨寂然入定而成就三昧？什么是菩萨究竟修行而获得神通？什么是菩萨而’

English version: If one views things with a state of stillness, there will be no inversion, and thus no repetition. Because there is no repetition, the disciples of Bodhisattvas, Pratyekabuddhas, and Tathagatas, these truly enlightened ones, have no thoughts. Only the foolish and ignorant cling to the path, the wise do not think this way. Transcending beings leaves no false traces, silent and without words. Then the venerable Subhuti said to the great disciples and all the Bodhisattvas: 'Let us return from here, there is no need to enter the city, and continue to beg for alms. Why is that? Because we should beg for food to sustain ourselves. Vimaladatta just taught us the Dharma, and we have received it, today we should take the Dharma as our food.' At that time, Vimaladatta replied: 'O Subhuti! The Dharma that was just spoken has no high or low. Why do you still have desires? And still harbor thoughts, wanting to go to the monastery and reside there? O Subhuti! The practice of a Shramana is to leave their dwelling place, not to indulge themselves, and not to seek comfort. The Dharma of a Shramana is to be without attachment, and without attachment there will be no hatred, and one who does not harbor hatred will have no actions, and one who has no actions is called a sage.' The eight great disciples and eight great Bodhisattvas, five hundred Brahmins, Vimaladatta, King Prasenajit, and the rest of the assembly, went to where the Buddha was, bowed at his feet, circled him three times, and sat down in front. Vimaladatta circled the Buddha seven times, stood before the World Honored One, and sang in verses while asking questions: 'I ask the World Honored One, non-attachment is incomparable, pure and without reliance, the name is immeasurable, saving all beings, bestowing the joy of nectar: 'How does one become a Bodhisattva, to accomplish their practice?' Then Vimaladatta, kneeling with palms together, asked the World Honored One: 'What is it for a Bodhisattva to subdue the demon retinue under the tree? What is it for a Bodhisattva to shake all the Buddha lands? What is it for a Bodhisattva to emit light that illuminates countless Buddha lands? What is it for a Bodhisattva to obtain the Dharani from all the Buddhas? What is it for a Bodhisattva to enter into stillness and achieve Samadhi? What is it for a Bodhisattva to complete all practices and obtain supernatural powers? What is it for a Bodhisattva to' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

佛告离垢施：“菩萨有四事法，演光普照无量佛国。何谓为四？常于冥处而然灯火；于末乱世亦护经典；而为诸乱处处不闲，因说经道显法光明；以宝香华供散佛寺。是为四。” 佛时颂曰： “常施以灯火， 清净之光明， 最后穷冥世， 而护于经典， 为放逸众人， 而讲说经法， 以奇珍之宝， 而供养塔寺。 菩萨由是故， 演放其光明， 照曜无央数， 亿千诸佛土。 众人得蒙晖， 悉致于大安， 则便发志求， 无上之佛道。” 佛告离垢施：“菩萨有四法事，而从诸佛逮得此法。何谓为四？以若干种而与各各奇异布施；一切璎珞庄严玉女，惠诸求者；昼夜殷勤咨嗟宣畅如来之德；既有所行，志多在于般若波罗蜜。是为四。” 佛时颂曰： “用若干之惠， 逮得于总持， 庄严以璎珞， 殊妙玉女施， 常咨嗟佛德， 殷勤精修务， 求智度无极， 诸佛之圣慧。 由是之福报， 逮得于总持， 而行加精进， 百千劫不坐。 其十方诸佛， 所可讲说法， 强识之达士， 一切悉得受。” 佛告离垢施：“菩萨有四事法，寂然定意而成三昧 现代汉语译本 立志追求无上的佛道。 因为这四种法，能够震动亿万佛土。 佛陀告诉离垢施（菩萨名）说：‘菩萨有四种法事，能够使光明普照无量佛国。哪四种呢？常在黑暗之处点燃灯火；在末法混乱的时代也守护经典；为那些在混乱之处不明白道理的人，宣说经道，显明佛法的光明；用珍贵的香和花供养佛寺。这就是四种法事。’ 佛陀当时以偈颂说道： ‘常施予灯火，清净的光明，在最后黑暗的时代，守护着经典，为放纵懈怠的众人，讲说经法，用奇异珍贵的宝物，供养佛塔寺庙。菩萨因为这样，散发出光明，照耀无数亿千佛土。众人得到光辉的照耀，都达到大安乐，便会发愿追求无上的佛道。’ 佛陀告诉离垢施说：‘菩萨有四种法事，能够从诸佛那里获得这种法。哪四种呢？用各种不同的方式给予各种奇异的布施；用一切璎珞装饰的玉女，施舍给那些有所求的人；日夜勤奋地赞叹宣扬如来的功德；已经有所修行，心志大多在于般若波罗蜜（智慧到彼岸）。这就是四种法事。’ 佛陀当时以偈颂说道： ‘用各种不同的布施，获得总持（记忆和理解佛法的能力），用璎珞装饰，施舍殊妙的玉女，常常赞叹佛的功德，勤奋精进地修行，追求智慧到彼岸，诸佛的圣慧。因为这样的福报，获得总持，并且更加精进，百千劫都不休息。十方诸佛所讲说的法，有强大记忆力的通达之士，一切都能接受。’ 佛陀告诉离垢施说：‘菩萨有四种法事，能够寂静地进入禅定，成就三昧（专注的状态）。’

English version Aspire to the unsurpassed path. Because of these four dharmas, one can move billions of Buddha lands. The Buddha said to Li Gou Shi (a Bodhisattva's name): 'Bodhisattvas have four dharmas that enable them to illuminate countless Buddha lands with light. What are the four? Constantly lighting lamps in dark places; protecting the scriptures even in the chaotic times of the end of Dharma; for those who are confused and do not understand in chaotic places, explaining the sutras and revealing the light of the Dharma; offering precious incense and flowers to Buddhist temples. These are the four.' The Buddha then spoke in verse: 'Constantly giving lamps, with pure light, in the final dark age, protecting the scriptures, for the indulgent and lazy masses, explaining the sutras, using rare and precious treasures, to make offerings to pagodas and temples. Because of this, Bodhisattvas emit light, illuminating countless billions of Buddha lands. When people receive the light, they all attain great peace and joy, and then they will aspire to seek the unsurpassed path of Buddhahood.' The Buddha said to Li Gou Shi: 'Bodhisattvas have four dharmas that enable them to obtain this Dharma from all Buddhas. What are the four? Giving various kinds of unique gifts in various ways; bestowing jade maidens adorned with all kinds of ornaments to those who seek them; diligently praising and proclaiming the virtues of the Tathagata day and night; having already practiced, their minds are mostly focused on Prajna Paramita (perfection of wisdom). These are the four dharmas.' The Buddha then spoke in verse: 'Using various kinds of gifts, one obtains Dharani (the ability to remember and understand the Dharma), bestowing exquisite jade maidens adorned with ornaments, constantly praising the virtues of the Buddha, diligently and vigorously cultivating, seeking wisdom to reach the other shore, the sacred wisdom of all Buddhas. Because of such merit, one obtains Dharani, and becomes even more diligent, not resting for hundreds of thousands of kalpas. The Dharma spoken by the Buddhas of the ten directions, the wise and accomplished ones with strong memory, can all receive.' The Buddha said to Li Gou Shi: 'Bodhisattvas have four dharmas that enable them to enter samadhi (a state of focused concentration) in stillness and achieve samadhi.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
