English version: The teachings of the Dharma. At that time, Manjusri Bodhisattva (a bodhisattva representing wisdom) proclaimed to the assembly: 'Virtuous ones! If bodhisattvas abide in four practices, they can accomplish all wholesome dharmas. What are the four? First is moral discipline (Sila), second is meditation (Dhyana), third is supernormal powers (Abhijnana), and fourth is taming (Damatha). If one can uphold moral discipline, one can achieve vast learning (Bahusruta); if one can practice meditation, one can achieve wisdom (Prajna); if one obtains supernormal powers, one can achieve superior wisdom; if one abides in taming, one can achieve a mind that is not heedless. Therefore, I say, if bodhisattvas abide in these four practices, they can accomplish all wholesome dharmas.' 'Virtuous ones! You should know that moral discipline is perfected and purified by fulfilling eight dharmas. What are the eight? First is upright conduct of body, second is purity of actions, third is a mind without flaws or defilements, fourth is a firm and steadfast aspiration, fifth is earning a living through righteous means, sixth is practicing asceticism (Dhutanga) and being content with little, seventh is being free from all false and untrue behaviors, and eighth is constantly not forgetting the mind of enlightenment (Bodhi-citta); these are called the eight purities of moral discipline.' 'Furthermore, virtuous ones! You should know that vast learning is also purified by eight dharmas. What are the eight? First is respecting and obeying teachers, second is subduing arrogance, third is diligently memorizing and learning, fourth is being mindful and not forgetting, fifth is explaining and expounding without weariness, sixth is not boasting about oneself, seventh is observing in accordance with the truth, and eighth is practicing according to the teachings; these are called the eight purities of vast learning.' 'Furthermore, virtuous ones! You should know that meditation is also purified by eight dharmas. What are the eight? First is constantly residing in a quiet aranya (a secluded place for practice) for contemplation, second is not gathering and conversing with crowds, third is not being attached to external realms, fourth is abandoning all glory and wealth in body and mind, fifth is having few desires for food and drink, sixth is having no clinging or attachment, seventh is not delighting in embellishing sounds and words, and eighth is teaching others to attain sacred joy.' 'Furthermore, virtuous ones! You should know that wisdom is also purified by eight dharmas. What are the eight? First is being skilled in understanding the aggregates (Skandha, the five components of an individual), second is being skilled in understanding the elements (Dhatu, the eighteen elements of experience), third is being skilled in understanding the sense bases (Ayatana, the senses and their objects), fourth is being skilled in understanding the faculties (Indriya, the six sense faculties), fifth is being skilled in understanding...' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
