English version: Acting as a friend unasked, with great compassion comforting and having pity on sentient beings, being the Dharma mother of the world. 'Furthermore, like the earth has four kinds of treasures. What are the four? The first is priceless, the second is of high value, the third is of medium value, and the fourth is of low value. These are called the four treasures of the earth. Similarly, a good man or good woman who embraces the true Dharma establishes the earth, enabling sentient beings to obtain four supreme great treasures. What are the four? A good man or good woman who embraces the true Dharma, for sentient beings who have not heard the Dharma, teaches them with the merits and roots of goodness of humans and gods; for those who seek the Sravaka vehicle, teaches them the Sravaka vehicle; for those who seek the Pratyekabuddha vehicle, teaches them the Pratyekabuddha vehicle; for those who seek the Mahayana vehicle, teaches them the Mahayana. Sentient beings who obtain such great treasures all gain these extraordinary and rare merits because of the good man or good woman who embraces the true Dharma. World Honored One! The great treasure is embracing the true Dharma.' 'World Honored One! Embracing the true Dharma, embracing the true Dharma, is no different from the true Dharma, is no different from embracing the true Dharma, the true Dharma is embracing the true Dharma. World Honored One! There is no difference from Paramita (perfection), no difference from embracing the true Dharma, embracing the true Dharma is Paramita. Why? A good man or good woman who embraces the true Dharma should mature those who should be matured by giving, and mature them by giving, even sacrificing their own body parts to protect their minds, thus maturing them. The sentient beings they mature establish the true Dharma, this is called Dana Paramita (perfection of giving).' 'Those who should be matured by precepts, should be matured by guarding the six senses, purifying body, speech, and mind, even correcting the four dignities, protecting their minds, thus maturing them. The sentient beings they mature establish the true Dharma, this is called Sila Paramita (perfection of morality).' 'Those who should be matured by patience, if those sentient beings scold, insult, slander, or frighten, with a mind free from anger, a mind of benefit, with the first power of patience, even without changing their expression, protecting their minds, thus maturing them. The sentient beings they mature establish the true Dharma, this is called Ksanti Paramita (perfection of patience).' 'Those who should be matured by diligence, towards those sentient beings, not giving rise to a mind of laziness, giving rise to a great desire, with the first diligence, even in the four dignities, protecting their minds, thus maturing them.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

护彼意而成熟之。彼所成熟众生建立正法，是名毗梨耶波罗蜜。 “应以禅成熟者，于彼众生以不乱心、不外向心，第一正念乃至久时所作、久时所说终不忘失，将护彼意而成熟之。彼所成熟众生建立正法，是名禅波罗蜜。 “应以智慧成熟者，彼诸众生问一切义，以无畏心而为演说，一切论、一切工巧，究竟明处，乃至种种工巧诸事，将护彼意而成熟之。彼所成熟众生建立正法，是名般若波罗蜜。 “是故世尊！无异波罗蜜，无异摄受正法，摄受正法即是波罗蜜。 “世尊！我今承佛威神，更说大义。” 佛言：“便说。” 胜鬘白佛：“摄受正法摄受正法者，无异摄受正法，无异摄受正法者。摄受正法善男子善女人，即是摄受正法。何以故？若摄受正法善男子善女人，为摄受正法，舍三种分。何等为三？谓：身、命、财。善男子善女人舍身者，生死后际等，离老病死，得不坏常住、无有变易、不可思议功德如来法身。舍命者，生死后际等，毕竟离死，得无边常住不可思议功德，通达一切甚深佛法。舍财者，生死后际等，得不共一切众生、无尽无减、毕竟常住、不可思议具足功德，得一切众生殊胜供养。世尊！如是舍三分善男子善女人，摄受正法，常为一切诸佛所记，一切众 现代汉语译本 ‘以精进使之成熟的，对于那些众生，以不懈怠的心、不退缩的心，守护他们的意愿而使之成熟。他们所成熟的众生建立正法，这称为毗梨耶波罗蜜（精进波罗蜜）。’ ‘应以禅定使之成熟的，对于那些众生，以不散乱的心、不向外驰求的心，第一正念乃至长久所作、长久所说终不忘失，守护他们的意愿而使之成熟。他们所成熟的众生建立正法，这称为禅波罗蜜（禅定波罗蜜）。’ ‘应以智慧使之成熟的，那些众生询问一切义理，以无畏的心为他们演说，一切论、一切工巧，究竟明了之处，乃至种种工巧之事，守护他们的意愿而使之成熟。他们所成熟的众生建立正法，这称为般若波罗蜜（智慧波罗蜜）。’ ‘所以，世尊！没有不同的波罗蜜，没有不同的摄受正法，摄受正法就是波罗蜜。’ ‘世尊！我现在承蒙佛的威神之力，再说一个大义。’ 佛说：‘说吧。’ 胜鬘对佛说：‘摄受正法摄受正法，没有不同的摄受正法，没有不同的摄受正法者。摄受正法的善男子善女人，就是摄受正法。为什么呢？如果摄受正法的善男子善女人，为了摄受正法，舍弃三种东西。哪三种呢？就是：身、命、财。善男子善女人舍弃身体，在生死轮回的尽头，远离衰老、疾病、死亡，得到不坏、常住、没有变易、不可思议功德的如来法身。舍弃生命，在生死轮回的尽头，最终远离死亡，得到无边常住、不可思议功德，通达一切甚深佛法。舍弃财富，在生死轮回的尽头，得到不与一切众生相同的、无尽无减、最终常住、不可思议具足的功德，得到一切众生殊胜的供养。世尊！像这样舍弃三种东西的善男子善女人，摄受正法，常常被一切诸佛所记念，一切众’

English version 'Those who should be matured through vigor, for those beings, with an unremitting mind, a non-retreating mind, protect their intentions and mature them. The beings they mature establish the true Dharma, this is called Vīrya pāramitā (Perfection of Vigor).' 'Those who should be matured through meditation, for those beings, with an undistracted mind, a mind not seeking outwards, the first right mindfulness, even what has been done for a long time, what has been said for a long time, will never be forgotten, protecting their intentions and maturing them. The beings they mature establish the true Dharma, this is called Dhyāna pāramitā (Perfection of Meditation).' 'Those who should be matured through wisdom, those beings ask about all meanings, with a fearless mind, explain to them, all treatises, all crafts, the ultimate clear points, even various skillful matters, protecting their intentions and maturing them. The beings they mature establish the true Dharma, this is called Prajñā pāramitā (Perfection of Wisdom).' 'Therefore, World Honored One! There is no different pāramitā, no different embracing of the true Dharma, embracing the true Dharma is the pāramitā.' 'World Honored One! Now, I, relying on the Buddha's majestic power, will speak of a greater meaning.' The Buddha said: 'Speak then.' Śrīmālā said to the Buddha: 'Embracing the true Dharma, embracing the true Dharma, there is no different embracing of the true Dharma, no different embracers of the true Dharma. The good men and good women who embrace the true Dharma, are embracing the true Dharma. Why is that? If the good men and good women who embrace the true Dharma, for the sake of embracing the true Dharma, give up three things. What are the three? They are: body, life, and wealth. The good men and good women who give up their body, at the end of the cycle of birth and death, are free from old age, sickness, and death, and attain the indestructible, permanent, unchanging, inconceivable merit of the Tathāgata's Dharma body. Those who give up their life, at the end of the cycle of birth and death, ultimately are free from death, and attain boundless, permanent, inconceivable merit, and understand all the profound Buddha Dharma. Those who give up their wealth, at the end of the cycle of birth and death, attain merit that is not shared with all beings, is inexhaustible and undiminishing, ultimately permanent, and inconceivable, and receive the supreme offerings of all beings. World Honored One! Such good men and good women who give up these three things, embracing the true Dharma, are always remembered by all the Buddhas, all the' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 生之所瞻仰。

“世尊！又善男子善女人摄受正法者，法欲灭时，比丘、比丘尼、优婆塞、优婆夷，朋党诤讼，破坏离散。以不谄曲、不欺诳、不幻伪，爱乐正法，摄受正法入法朋中。入法朋者，必为诸佛之所授记。世尊！我见摄受正法如是大力，佛为实眼实智，为法根本、为通达法、为正法依，亦悉知见。” 尔时世尊于胜鬘所说摄受正法大精进力，起随喜心：“如是胜鬘！如汝所说。摄受正法大精进力，如大力士少触身分，生大苦痛。如是胜鬘！少摄受正法，令魔苦恼；我不见余一善法令魔忧苦，如少摄受正法。又如牛王形色无比，胜一切牛；如是大乘少摄受正法，胜于一切二乘善根，以广大故。又如须弥山王端严殊特，胜于众山；如是大乘舍身、命、财以摄取心摄受正法，胜不舍身、命、财初住大乘一切善根，何况二乘？以广大故。是故胜鬘！当以摄受正法，开示众生、教化众生、建立众生。如是胜鬘！摄受正法如是大利、如是大福、如是大果。胜鬘！我于阿僧祇阿僧祇劫说：‘摄受正法功德义利，不得边际。’是故摄受正法，有无量无边功德。” 一乘章第五 佛告胜鬘：“汝今更说一切诸佛所说摄受正法！” 胜鬘白佛：“善哉世尊！唯然受教。”即白佛言：“世尊！摄受 是众生所瞻仰的对象。 世尊！还有善男子、善女人，如果他们接受并奉行正法，当正法将要衰灭时，比丘（出家男众）、比丘尼（出家女众）、优婆塞（在家男众）、优婆夷（在家女众）之间会结党营私，互相争斗，破坏僧团，导致离散。如果有人不谄媚、不欺骗、不虚伪，喜爱正法，接受并奉行正法，加入到正法的团体中，那么这个人必定会得到诸佛的授记。世尊！我看到接受并奉行正法有如此强大的力量，佛是真实的眼睛和智慧，是佛法的根本，是通达佛法的人，是正法的依靠，也完全知晓并看见这一切。 这时，世尊对于胜鬘所说的接受并奉行正法的巨大精进力量，生起了随喜之心：‘胜鬘，你说得对！接受并奉行正法的巨大精进力量，就像一个大力士，身体的某个部位稍微被触碰一下，就会产生巨大的痛苦。胜鬘，同样，稍微接受并奉行正法，就会让魔感到苦恼；我没有看到其他任何一种善法能让魔感到忧愁痛苦，只有稍微接受并奉行正法才能做到。又像牛王，它的形体和颜色无比殊胜，胜过一切牛；同样，大乘佛法稍微接受并奉行正法，就胜过一切二乘（声闻乘和缘觉乘）的善根，因为它广大无边。又像须弥山王，端正庄严，特别殊胜，胜过一切山；同样，大乘佛法为了接受并奉行正法，舍弃身体、生命和财产，这种发心胜过那些不舍弃身体、生命和财产的初住大乘行者的一切善根，更何况是二乘？因为它广大无边。所以，胜鬘，应当以接受并奉行正法来开示众生、教化众生、建立众生。胜鬘，接受并奉行正法有如此巨大的利益、如此巨大的福报、如此巨大的果报。胜鬘，我即使在无量无边的阿僧祇劫中说，接受并奉行正法的功德和利益，也无法穷尽。所以，接受并奉行正法，有无量无边的功德。’ 一乘章 第五 佛告诉胜鬘：‘你现在再说一说一切诸佛所说的接受并奉行正法！’ 胜鬘对佛说：‘太好了，世尊！我愿意接受教诲。’随即对佛说：‘世尊！接受并奉行正法，

is what beings look up to. ‘World Honored One! Furthermore, when good men and good women embrace the true Dharma, when the Dharma is about to perish, monks, nuns, laymen, and laywomen will form factions, quarrel, and cause division and separation. Those who are not deceitful, not fraudulent, not illusory, who love the true Dharma, embrace the true Dharma, and join the Dharma community, will surely receive predictions from all Buddhas. World Honored One! I see that embracing the true Dharma has such great power. The Buddha is the true eye and true wisdom, the root of the Dharma, the one who has penetrated the Dharma, the reliance of the true Dharma, and also knows and sees all of this.’ At that time, the World Honored One, upon hearing what Queen Srimala had said about the great power of diligently embracing the true Dharma, rejoiced in her words: ‘So it is, Srimala! As you have said, the great power of diligently embracing the true Dharma is like a strong man who, when a small part of his body is touched, experiences great pain. Similarly, Srimala, even a little embracing of the true Dharma causes suffering to Mara; I have not seen any other good deed that causes Mara such distress as even a little embracing of the true Dharma. Also, like a king of bulls whose form and color are incomparable and surpasses all other bulls, so too, even a little embracing of the true Dharma of the Mahayana surpasses all the good roots of the two vehicles (Sravakayana and Pratyekabuddhayana), because it is vast. Also, like Mount Sumeru, the king of mountains, which is uniquely majestic and surpasses all other mountains, so too, the Mahayana practitioner who gives up body, life, and wealth to embrace the true Dharma surpasses all the good roots of the first stage Mahayana practitioner who does not give up body, life, and wealth, let alone the two vehicles, because it is vast. Therefore, Srimala, you should use the embracing of the true Dharma to enlighten beings, teach beings, and establish beings. Thus, Srimala, embracing the true Dharma has such great benefit, such great merit, and such great result. Srimala, even if I were to speak for countless asamkhya kalpas, the merits and benefits of embracing the true Dharma would be inexhaustible. Therefore, embracing the true Dharma has immeasurable and boundless merits.’ Chapter Five on the One Vehicle The Buddha said to Srimala: ‘Now, tell me more about the embracing of the true Dharma as spoken by all the Buddhas!’ Srimala said to the Buddha: ‘Excellent, World Honored One! I will receive your teaching.’ Then she said to the Buddha: ‘World Honored One! Embracing the true Dharma, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
