大正藏第 12 册 No. 0348 佛说大乘方等要慧经 No. 348 [No. 310(41)] 佛说大乘方等要慧经 后汉安息国三藏安世高译 闻如是： 一时佛游于舍卫国，尔时弥勒菩萨叉手白佛言： “世尊！我欲小有所问，若世尊听所问者乃敢陈之。” 佛言：“若有所疑便问，吾当为汝解说，使意欢喜。” 弥勒问言：“云何菩萨摩诃萨不退转法，于大乘有进而不耗减，行菩萨道并降伏魔怨，如其状貌，悉还教知诸法根之相，不厌于生死，自有正慧不从他受，疾成无上一切智地？” 世尊赞曰：“善哉！善哉！所问随顺，甚善大佳，吾当为汝解说菩萨所得之行，逾于所问。谛听！善思念之！”于是弥勒受教，一心静听。 佛告弥勒：“菩萨有八法具足，疾逮得无上一切智地。何谓为八？一者、内性清净。二者、所行成就。三者、所施成就。四者、所愿成就。五者、慈成就。六者、悲成就。七者、善权成就。八者、智慧成就。是为八事。菩萨疾逮得无上一切智。” 弥勒菩萨及诸众会皆欢喜。 大乘方等要慧经 现代汉语译本 如是我闻： 一时，佛陀在舍卫国游化。当时，弥勒菩萨（Maitreya Bodhisattva）合掌向佛陀禀告： ‘世尊！我有些许疑问想要请教，如果世尊允许我提问，我才敢陈述。’ 佛陀说：‘如果有任何疑惑就问吧，我将为你解说，使你心生欢喜。’ 弥勒菩萨问道：‘如何才能使菩萨摩诃萨（Bodhisattva-Mahasattva）不退转于佛法，在大乘（Mahayana）修行中精进而不退减，在菩萨道上修行并降伏魔怨，如实了解诸法根源的实相，不厌倦于生死轮回，拥有自己的正见智慧而不依赖他人，迅速成就无上一切智地（Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi）？’ 世尊赞叹道：‘善哉！善哉！你所问的非常契合佛法，甚好！我将为你解说菩萨所应修行的法门，远胜于你所问的。仔细听！好好思考！’于是弥勒菩萨接受教诲，一心静听。 佛陀告诉弥勒菩萨：‘菩萨有八法具足，就能迅速证得无上一切智地。这八法是什么呢？一是、内性清净。二是、所行成就。三是、所施成就。四是、所愿成就。五是、慈成就。六是、悲成就。七是、善巧方便成就。八是、智慧成就。这便是八件事。菩萨能迅速证得无上一切智。’ 弥勒菩萨及在场的所有听众都非常欢喜。 《大乘方等要慧经》

English version Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was traveling in Shravasti. At that time, Maitreya Bodhisattva, with his palms together, said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One! I have a few questions I would like to ask. If the World Honored One permits me to ask, then I dare to present them.' The Buddha said, 'If you have any doubts, then ask. I will explain them for you, so that your mind will be joyful.' Maitreya asked, 'How can a Bodhisattva-Mahasattva not regress in the Dharma, advance without diminishing in the practice of the Mahayana, cultivate the Bodhisattva path and subdue demonic hindrances, truly understand the real nature of the roots of all dharmas, not be weary of birth and death, possess their own right wisdom without relying on others, and quickly attain the unsurpassed state of complete enlightenment (Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi)?' The World Honored One praised, 'Excellent! Excellent! Your question is very much in accordance with the Dharma, very good! I will explain to you the practices that a Bodhisattva should cultivate, which are far superior to what you have asked. Listen carefully! Think well!' Thereupon, Maitreya Bodhisattva received the teaching and listened attentively with a focused mind. The Buddha told Maitreya, 'A Bodhisattva who possesses eight qualities will quickly attain the unsurpassed state of complete enlightenment. What are these eight? First, inner nature is pure. Second, actions are accomplished. Third, giving is accomplished. Fourth, vows are accomplished. Fifth, loving-kindness is accomplished. Sixth, compassion is accomplished. Seventh, skillful means are accomplished. Eighth, wisdom is accomplished. These are the eight things. A Bodhisattva can quickly attain the unsurpassed state of complete enlightenment.' Maitreya Bodhisattva and all those present were joyful. The Sutra of Essential Wisdom of the Mahayana Vaipulya --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
