English version: Envy, not self-displaying, not falsely deceiving the masses, the mind is inherently complete. Good man! This Akasagarbha Bodhisattva Mahasattva (great Bodhisattva), out of compassion for these sentient beings, uses skillful wisdom and courageous diligence to cultivate skillful means, eliminating the sins of these sentient beings, causing them to generate the mind of Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi (supreme perfect enlightenment), all good roots are dedicated to Anuttara-bodhi (supreme enlightenment), attaining the state of non-retrogression, gaining great power and diligent strength. In order to fulfill the Six Paramitas (six perfections), he constantly diligently cultivates great loving-kindness and great compassion, until ultimately attaining Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi. Good man! This Akasagarbha Bodhisattva Mahasattva, accomplishes such inconceivable merits, courageously accomplishes all sentient beings. At that time, Maitreya Bodhisattva Mahasattva (the future Buddha) immediately rose from his seat, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One! For what reason does Akasagarbha Bodhisattva Mahasattva alone have such a wonderful wish-fulfilling jewel on his head, surrounded by countless Shakya-Vaidurya jewels (a type of gemstone), its light shining brightly, obscuring other colors, and not being the same as other Bodhisattva Mahasattvas?' At that time, the World Honored One told Maitreya Bodhisattva Mahasattva: 'This Akasagarbha Bodhisattva Mahasattva possesses great compassion, and can rescue sentient beings from danger and peril. If there are sentient beings who commit fundamental sins and should fall into evil realms, all their good roots already burned, Akasagarbha Bodhisattva Mahasattva is the clear and bright sun that dispels the darkness of great ignorance and wrong views; he is the great teacher who eliminates fundamental sins; he can pull out the arrow of doubt, break the vessel of good dharma, and restore it completely. Good man! If there are sentient beings who commit Parajika (grave offenses), sever their good roots, and head towards hell, having no refuge, and being abandoned by the wise, he can rescue them all, reveal the true path, wash away the foul and evil afflictions of sentient beings, causing them to leave the evil realms, he is the ladder for ascending to the heavens and attaining liberation. If there are sentient beings who are greedy, foolish, confused, and chaotic, he can awaken them; for those with anger, harmful intentions, and ignorance, who slander cause and effect, are unrestrained, do not believe, do not fear the future, are insatiably greedy, extremely envious, and possess the ten evil karmas, which grow day and night. Such sentient beings are the objects of Akasagarbha Bodhisattva's compassion.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

萨摩诃萨,能除如上诸重罪业,安处人天解脱之处犹如大车。善男子!是虚空藏菩萨摩诃萨,是诸天世人所应尊重奉迎供养。” 尔时弥勒菩萨摩诃萨白佛言:“世尊!云何名为犯根本罪波罗夷耶?若有众生犯斯罪者,善根烧然堕于恶趣离安隐处,永失一切天人之乐。是虚空藏菩萨摩诃萨,能令此等诸恶众生。还得具足人天福乐。” 尔时世尊告弥勒菩萨摩诃萨:“善男子!若灌顶刹利王有自在力,犯五根本罪,先所修习皆悉烧然,失安隐处,远人天乐堕于恶趣。何等名为五根本罪?善男子!所谓灌顶刹利王领国土有自在力,取兜婆物及四方僧物,或教人取,是则名犯初根本罪。复次善男子!灌顶刹利王领国土有自在力,毁谤正法,舍声闻乘、辟支佛乘、舍无上乘,又制他人不令修学,是名第二犯根本罪。复次善男子!灌顶刹利王领国土有自在力,若复有人以如来故,剃除须发身被法服,持戒毁戒有戒无戒,脱其袈裟逼令还俗,或加杖捶或复系缚,或截手足乃至断命,自作使他造如此恶,是名第三犯根本罪。复次善男子!灌顶刹利王领国土有自在力,作五逆罪。何等为五?一者杀母;二者害父;三者杀阿罗汉;四者破和合僧;五者出佛身血。如是五无间罪若犯一者,是则名为犯根本罪,是名第四犯根本罪 现代汉语译本:这位大菩萨(摩诃萨)能够消除如上所说的各种严重罪业,使众生安稳地处于人天解脱的境界,如同乘坐大车一般。善男子!这位虚空藏菩萨摩诃萨,是所有天界和人间的人们都应当尊重、迎接和供养的。 那时,弥勒菩萨摩诃萨对佛说:‘世尊!什么叫做犯根本罪(波罗夷)呢?如果众生犯了这种罪,他们所修的善根就会被烧毁,堕入恶道,远离安稳之处,永远失去一切天人和乐。这位虚空藏菩萨摩诃萨,能够使这些作恶的众生,重新获得人天的福乐。’ 那时,世尊告诉弥勒菩萨摩诃萨:‘善男子!如果受过灌顶的刹利王(拥有统治权力的国王)犯了五种根本罪,他先前所修习的善业都会被烧毁,失去安稳之处,远离人天之乐,堕入恶道。哪五种是根本罪呢?善男子!所谓受过灌顶的刹利王,拥有统治权力的国王,如果他拿取佛塔(兜婆)的财物以及四方僧众的财物,或者教唆他人拿取,这就叫做犯了第一根本罪。其次,善男子!受过灌顶的刹利王,拥有统治权力的国王,如果他诽谤正法,舍弃声闻乘、辟支佛乘、舍弃无上乘(佛乘),并且阻止他人修学,这就叫做犯了第二根本罪。其次,善男子!受过灌顶的刹利王,拥有统治权力的国王,如果有人因为信仰如来而剃除须发,身穿法服,不论持戒或毁戒,有戒或无戒,他剥夺其袈裟,强迫其还俗,或者加以杖打、捆绑,甚至截断手足乃至杀害,自己做或指使他人做这样的恶行,这就叫做犯了第三根本罪。其次,善男子!受过灌顶的刹利王,拥有统治权力的国王,如果他犯了五逆罪。哪五种呢?第一是杀母;第二是害父;第三是杀阿罗汉(已证悟的圣者);第四是破坏僧团的和合;第五是使佛身出血。如果犯了这五种无间罪中的任何一种,就叫做犯了根本罪,这是第四种根本罪。

English version: This great Bodhisattva (Mahasattva) is able to eliminate the aforementioned grave sins, placing beings securely in the realm of human and heavenly liberation, like riding in a great chariot. Good man! This Akasagarbha Bodhisattva Mahasattva is one whom all beings in the heavens and the human world should respect, welcome, and make offerings to. At that time, Maitreya Bodhisattva Mahasattva said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One! What is called committing a fundamental offense (Parajika)? If beings commit this offense, the roots of goodness they have cultivated will be burned away, they will fall into evil realms, be far from secure places, and forever lose all the joys of humans and gods. This Akasagarbha Bodhisattva Mahasattva is able to enable these evil beings to regain the blessings and joys of humans and gods.' At that time, the World Honored One told Maitreya Bodhisattva Mahasattva: 'Good man! If a Kshatriya king who has received the consecration (Abhisheka) and possesses sovereign power commits the five fundamental offenses, all the good deeds he has previously cultivated will be burned away, he will lose his secure place, be far from the joys of humans and gods, and fall into evil realms. What are the five fundamental offenses? Good man! A Kshatriya king who has received the consecration and possesses sovereign power, if he takes the property of stupas (Dupa) and the property of the Sangha from all directions, or instructs others to take it, this is called committing the first fundamental offense. Furthermore, good man! A Kshatriya king who has received the consecration and possesses sovereign power, if he slanders the true Dharma, abandons the Sravaka Vehicle, the Pratyekabuddha Vehicle, and abandons the Supreme Vehicle (Buddha Vehicle), and also prevents others from studying them, this is called committing the second fundamental offense. Furthermore, good man! A Kshatriya king who has received the consecration and possesses sovereign power, if someone, because of faith in the Tathagata, shaves their head and beard, wears the Dharma robes, whether they uphold the precepts or break them, whether they have precepts or not, he deprives them of their kasaya (monk's robe), forces them to return to lay life, or beats them with sticks, binds them, or even cuts off their hands and feet, or even kills them, doing it himself or instructing others to do such evil, this is called committing the third fundamental offense. Furthermore, good man! A Kshatriya king who has received the consecration and possesses sovereign power, if he commits the five heinous crimes. What are the five? First is killing one's mother; second is harming one's father; third is killing an Arhat (an enlightened saint); fourth is disrupting the harmony of the Sangha; fifth is causing the Buddha's body to bleed. If one commits any of these five unpardonable crimes, it is called committing a fundamental offense, this is the fourth fundamental offense.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
