English version: Endless, the coming of Dharma is endless, observing Dharma as illusory, equally enlightened to the three times (past, present, future), knowing all Dharmas as they are and enduring them, not slandering emptiness, not discriminating no-form, not desiring all existences. Good man! This is called accomplishing nine Dharmas, encompassing this Samadhi (a state of meditative consciousness) that gathers all merits. Furthermore, good man! Again, accomplishing ten Dharmas encompasses this Samadhi that gathers all merits. What are the ten? They are: understanding no-self (no permanent self), enduring no-life (impermanence of life), not doubting no-person (no independent individual), the impermanence of conditioned Dharmas, regarding all places of birth as if they were hell, observing the four great elements (earth, water, fire, wind) as poisonous snakes, observing the entrances (six senses) as empty gatherings, observing the aggregates (five skandhas) as demons, the thought of the outflow of all existences (samsara), and delighting in practicing liberation. Good man! This is called accomplishing ten Dharmas, encompassing this Samadhi that gathers all merits. At that time, Pure Power Warrior (a Bodhisattva's name) said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One! If a Bodhisattva Mahasattva (great Bodhisattva) wishes to accomplish all meritorious adornments, they should listen to this Samadhi; if a Bodhisattva Mahasattva wishes to gather all merits, they should listen to this Samadhi; if a Bodhisattva Mahasattva wishes to obtain inconceivable merits, they should believe in this Samadhi, they should listen to this Samadhi; if a Bodhisattva Mahasattva wishes to obtain endless merits, they should practice this Samadhi; if a Bodhisattva Mahasattva wishes to reach the ocean of all merits, they should uphold, recite, practice, and expound this Samadhi; if a Bodhisattva Mahasattva wishes to obtain the hundred marks of merit, they should practice this Samadhi.' At that time, Pure Power Warrior again said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One! With what Dharma should a Bodhisattva Mahasattva be in accordance to accomplish, fulfill all meritorious adornments, gather all merits, inconceivable merits, endless merits, the ocean of merits, and fulfill the hundred marks of merit?' At that time, the Buddha said to Pure Power Warrior: 'Good man! There are three Dharmas that are the pillars of merit, the adornments of merit, the gathering of merit, the increase of merit, the endlessness of merit, the ocean of merit, and the inconceivability of merit. What are the three? They are the adornment of giving, the adornment of morality, and the adornment of learning. Good man! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

子!云何菩萨摩诃萨修行布施庄严?善男子!菩萨摩诃萨应生是心,若布施时不见施心、不见所施及以受者、不见眷属。若有乞者来有所求,为摄护故,不以王位、封邑、财物诸珍宝等而有吝惜,生于异心。   “善男子!是菩萨摩诃萨作如是念:‘今我此身悉已给施一切众生,况余财物?若已施者,终无悔心。须财施财、须食施食、须饮施饮、须眼施眼、须肉施肉、须血施血、须髓施髓、须于支节施与支节、须头施头,我悉当施,况余财物?谷米、金银、衣服、璎珞、象马、车乘、国城、王宫男女、妻妾、奴婢、眷属无不舍者,若有众生随其所须而求索之,我随所有悉当施与,无有忧悔,不望其报。起慈悲心为摄众生,摄取众生乃至成佛,终无有尽。’善男子!若有菩萨发如是心,名菩萨布施庄严。   “复次,善男子!菩萨不自观计身命,宁舍身命终不为恶;不为养身邪命自活,宁舍身命不恼于他;不为封邑造行诸恶、不为眷属炽然诤讼、不为妻妾及以男女嫉利他财,不生悭心,常恒少欲,乃至不生一念恶心,况复多也?为断悭贪不生瞋恚,无瞋恚故正行相应,正行相应故到于正处,到正处故正戒相应,正戒相应故亲善知识恭敬供养,恭敬供养善知识故得闻正法,闻正法已如说修行,如说修行已则能利益 现代汉语译本: ‘子!菩萨摩诃萨如何修行布施以庄严自身?善男子!菩萨摩诃萨应当生起这样的心念:在布施时,不执着于施舍的心念,不执着于所施之物,不执着于接受布施的人,也不执着于眷属。如果有乞求者前来有所求,为了摄受和保护他们,不因为王位、封地、财物、各种珍宝等而吝惜,产生不同的想法。 ‘善男子!这位菩萨摩诃萨会这样想:‘现在我这个身体都已布施给一切众生了,何况其余的财物呢?如果已经施舍出去,就绝不会有后悔的心。需要财物就施舍财物,需要食物就施舍食物,需要饮品就施舍饮品,需要眼睛就施舍眼睛,需要肉就施舍肉,需要血就施舍血,需要骨髓就施舍骨髓,需要肢体就施舍肢体,需要头颅就施舍头颅,我都会施舍,何况其余的财物呢?谷米、金银、衣服、璎珞、象马、车乘、国城、王宫、男女、妻妾、奴婢、眷属,没有不舍弃的。如果有众生根据他们的需要来求取,我都会根据我所拥有的全部施舍给他们,没有忧愁和后悔,不期望回报。生起慈悲心是为了摄受众生,摄取众生乃至成就佛果,永远没有穷尽。’善男子!如果有菩萨发这样的心,就称为菩萨布施的庄严。 ‘再者,善男子!菩萨不执着于自己的身体和生命,宁愿舍弃生命也绝不做恶事;不为了养活自己而以不正当的手段谋生,宁愿舍弃生命也不去恼害他人;不为了封地而造作各种恶行,不为了眷属而引发激烈的争斗,不因为妻妾和男女而嫉妒他人的财富,不生起悭吝之心,常常保持少欲知足,乃至不生起一念恶心,何况是更多呢?为了断除悭贪而不生起嗔恚,没有嗔恚的缘故,行为就与正道相应,与正道相应就到达正处,到达正处就与正戒相应,与正戒相应就亲近善知识并恭敬供养,恭敬供养善知识就能听闻正法,听闻正法后就如所说的那样修行,如所说的那样修行就能利益众生。’
