菩萨修行忍辱,若为怨贼、旃陀罗等之所骂辱,不瞋、不恼,为是众生令生信喜,勤修精进、住精进力,知是菩萨所作已办。   “若是菩萨以真金宝满四天下,不贪是宝而作妄语,若他问法不相朋党说言非法,知是菩萨所作已办。   “若有菩萨七日绝食,若有人来作如是言:‘汝若能舍菩提之心,杀诸众生当与汝食。’而是菩萨终不为之,知是菩萨所作已办。   “复次,文殊师利!若是菩萨见满世界利刀、猛火,当从中过而往听法,不爱身命作如是学:‘念阴入界易得,佛难可遇、法难可闻、敬法众生甚亦难得。’作是念已,入众听法,知是菩萨所作已办。   “复次,文殊师利!若是菩萨从他人闻一四句偈,若戒、若施,心生欢喜,胜得转轮立大王位;若以此偈令一人闻,胜得帝释及梵王处;知是菩萨所作已办。   “复次,文殊师利!若是菩萨能住众中,在多闻中生大喜悦,以此多闻向一切智,不得满三千大千世界珍宝生大欢喜,以自善根为一众生回向佛道用为欣庆,知是菩萨所作已办。   “复次,文殊师利!菩萨为化诸众生故,应勤精进、坚自庄严、修集多闻、舍身支节,于世八法其心无异;若是菩萨为佛慧故,宁舍身命不舍持戒;菩萨应当作于忍辱,能忍诸恶不善音声;菩 现代汉语译本 菩萨修行忍辱时,如果被怨贼、旃陀罗(贱民)等辱骂,不会嗔怒、恼恨,而是为了使这些众生生起信心和喜悦,勤奋修行精进,安住于精进的力量中,要知道这是菩萨所应做且已经完成的事情。 如果菩萨用真金宝物充满四天下,也不会贪恋这些宝物而说妄语,如果有人向他请教佛法,也不会偏袒任何一方而说非法之言,要知道这是菩萨所应做且已经完成的事情。 如果菩萨七天不吃饭,有人来对他说:‘你如果能舍弃菩提之心,杀害众生,我就给你食物。’这位菩萨最终也不会这样做,要知道这是菩萨所应做且已经完成的事情。 再者,文殊师利!如果菩萨看到充满世界的利刀和猛火,也会从中穿过前去听闻佛法,不爱惜自己的生命,这样学习:‘要知道五蕴、十二处、十八界这些容易得到,而佛难以遇到,佛法难以听闻,恭敬佛法的众生也很难遇到。’这样想之后,进入人群听闻佛法,要知道这是菩萨所应做且已经完成的事情。 再者,文殊师利!如果菩萨从他人那里听到一句四句偈,无论是关于戒律还是布施,内心都会生起欢喜,胜过得到转轮圣王的王位;如果用这句偈让一个人听闻,胜过得到帝释天和梵天之位;要知道这是菩萨所应做且已经完成的事情。 再者,文殊师利!如果菩萨能够安住在众人之中,在听闻佛法时生起极大的喜悦,用这些听闻的佛法趋向一切智慧,不会因为得到充满三千大千世界的珍宝而生起极大的欢喜,而是用自己的善根为一位众生回向佛道,以此为欣慰和庆幸,要知道这是菩萨所应做且已经完成的事情。 再者,文殊师利!菩萨为了教化众生,应当勤奋精进,坚定地庄严自己,修习多闻,舍弃身体和肢体,对于世间的八法(利、衰、毁、誉、称、讥、苦、乐)内心没有分别;如果菩萨为了佛的智慧,宁愿舍弃生命也不舍弃持戒;菩萨应当修习忍辱,能够忍受各种恶劣不善的声音;菩萨应当修习慈悲,对于一切众生都应当生起慈悲之心。

English version When a Bodhisattva practices patience, if they are insulted by enemies, thieves, Chandalas (outcasts), etc., they will not be angry or annoyed. Instead, they do so to inspire faith and joy in these beings, diligently cultivating vigor, abiding in the power of vigor, knowing that this is what a Bodhisattva should do and has already accomplished. If a Bodhisattva were to fill the four continents with genuine gold and jewels, they would not be greedy for these treasures and tell lies. If someone were to ask them about the Dharma, they would not be biased and speak of what is not the Dharma. Know that this is what a Bodhisattva should do and has already accomplished. If a Bodhisattva were to fast for seven days, and someone were to come and say, 'If you can abandon your Bodhi mind and kill living beings, I will give you food,' this Bodhisattva would ultimately not do it. Know that this is what a Bodhisattva should do and has already accomplished. Furthermore, Manjushri! If a Bodhisattva were to see the world filled with sharp knives and raging fires, they would pass through them to go and listen to the Dharma, not cherishing their own life, learning in this way: 'Know that the skandhas, the twelve entrances, and the eighteen realms are easy to obtain, while a Buddha is difficult to encounter, the Dharma is difficult to hear, and beings who respect the Dharma are also very difficult to find.' Having thought this, they would enter the assembly to listen to the Dharma. Know that this is what a Bodhisattva should do and has already accomplished. Furthermore, Manjushri! If a Bodhisattva were to hear a four-line verse from another person, whether about precepts or giving, their heart would be filled with joy, surpassing the joy of obtaining the position of a great king who turns the wheel; if they were to cause one person to hear this verse, it would surpass the joy of obtaining the position of Indra or Brahma. Know that this is what a Bodhisattva should do and has already accomplished. Furthermore, Manjushri! If a Bodhisattva can abide in the assembly, and in hearing the Dharma, they generate great joy, using this hearing of the Dharma to move towards all wisdom, they would not generate great joy from obtaining treasures that fill the three thousand great thousand worlds, but would instead dedicate their own roots of goodness to one living being, directing them towards the path of Buddhahood, taking this as their joy and celebration. Know that this is what a Bodhisattva should do and has already accomplished. Furthermore, Manjushri! A Bodhisattva, in order to transform all living beings, should diligently cultivate vigor, firmly adorn themselves, cultivate much learning, give up their body and limbs, and have no differentiation in their mind regarding the eight worldly dharmas (gain, loss, defamation, praise, honor, ridicule, suffering, and joy); if a Bodhisattva is doing it for the wisdom of the Buddha, they would rather give up their life than give up upholding the precepts; a Bodhisattva should practice patience, being able to endure all evil and unwholesome sounds; a Bodhisattva should practice compassion, and for all living beings, they should generate a compassionate heart. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
