English version: Furthermore, good man! A Kshatriya king (Kshatriya, one of the four major castes in ancient India, referring to warriors and rulers) who has received the consecration, ruling the country with sovereign power, slanders the law of cause and effect, has no fear of the future, commits the ten evil deeds, and also instructs others to commit the ten evils. This is called the fifth fundamental offense. Good man! These are called the five fundamental offenses of a consecrated Kshatriya. If one commits any of these, it is called committing a Parajika (Parajika, a very serious offense in Buddhist precepts), and all the good roots previously cultivated will be burned away, one will leave the place of peace, lose the joy of humans and gods, and fall into evil realms. Good man! This Bodhisattva Mahasattva Akasagarbha (Akasagarbha Bodhisattva Mahasattva, one of the eight great Bodhisattvas in Buddhism, symbolizing wisdom and compassion), for the sake of this person, generates great compassion, manifests in a borderland, and according to what should be seen, manifests various forms, such as the form of a Shramana (Shramana, a Buddhist monastic practitioner), a Brahmana (Brahmana, one of the four major castes in ancient India, referring to priests), a Kshatriya elder, a householder, etc., and speaks to them about the profound and unprecedented Dharma of the All-Knowing Wisdom (Sarvajnata, the wisdom of the Buddha) of the Great Vehicle (Mahayana, one of the Buddhist schools), the various Dharanis (Dharani, a mantra that can hold all good dharmas and block all evil dharmas) and the stage of patience (Ksanti-bhumi, the state of Bodhisattva's practice of patience), using such wonderful methods to guide them. After hearing the Dharma, the consecrated Kshatriya feels ashamed and extremely fearful, confesses to the one who preached the Dharma, vows not to repeat the previous offenses, and dwells in giving (Dana, one of the six perfections in Buddhism, referring to generosity), morality (Sila, Buddhist precepts), patience (Ksanti, one of the six perfections in Buddhism, referring to enduring insults and suffering), diligence (Virya, one of the six perfections in Buddhism, referring to diligent practice), meditation (Dhyana, one of the six perfections in Buddhism, referring to meditation), and wisdom (Prajna, one of the six perfections in Buddhism, referring to the ability to see the truth), diligently cultivating compassion, and attaining the joy of humans and gods and the joy of Nirvana (Nirvana, the highest state in Buddhism, referring to liberation). Furthermore, good man! A minister also has five fundamental offenses that constitute a Parajika. If one commits any of these, all the good roots previously cultivated will be burned away, one will fall into evil realms, leave the place of peace, and forever lose all the joys of humans and gods. What are the five? That is, the minister who governs the country, relying on the power of the king, takes the property of stupas (Stupa, Buddhist pagodas) and the property of the Sangha (Sangha, the Buddhist monastic community) from all directions, or instructs others to take them. This is called committing the first fundamental offense. Furthermore, good man! If that minister, governing the country, relying on the power of the king, destroys villages, cities, and the country, or instructs others to destroy them, this is called committing the second fundamental offense. Furthermore, good man! If that minister, governing the country, relying on the power of the king, slanders the true Dharma, abandons the Sravakayana (Sravakayana, one of the Buddhist schools, referring to Hinayana Buddhism), the Pratyekabuddhayana (Pratyekabuddhayana, one of the Buddhist schools, referring to the self-enlightened vehicle), and abandons the Anuttarayana (Anuttarayana, referring to Mahayana Buddhism), and also prevents others from studying, this is called committing the third fundamental offense. Furthermore, good man! If that minister, governing the country, relying on the power of the king, sees someone, for the sake of the Tathagata (Tathagata, an epithet of the Buddha), --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

男子！是虚空藏菩萨摩诃萨，为此人故起大慈悲现生边地，随所应见现种种形，或沙门像、婆罗门像、刹利长者居士等像，而为其说一切种智甚深大乘未曾有法诸陀罗尼及忍辱地，以如是等种种妙法而引导之。时彼声闻既闻法已，心生惭愧极怀恐怖，向说法者发露忏悔，先所犯罪誓不更作，安住布施、持戒、忍辱、精进、禅定、智慧，勤修慈悲，生人天乐般涅槃乐。 “复次善男子！初发心菩萨趣向大乘，有八根本罪犯波罗夷，先所修习一切善根皆悉烧然，堕于恶趣离安隐处失人天乐，亦失大乘境界之乐，久在生死离善知识。何等为八？谓彼菩萨宿业因缘生五浊世，有余善根近善知识，归趣甚深大乘之法，发无上心智慧微浅。是初发心菩萨，又从他闻甚深空法读诵受持，复于少智愚痴人前读诵解说，余人闻已惊疑怖畏，于阿耨多罗三藐三菩提心生退没乐声闻乘，是名初发心菩萨犯于第一根本重罪，先所修习一切善根皆悉烧然，堕于恶趣离安隐处，失人天乐及以大乘境界之乐，坏菩提心。是故菩萨，宜应先知众生善根及了彼心，随其所堪次第说法，如入大海渐渐至深。善男子！是虚空藏菩萨摩诃萨，随其所应以种种形现生其土而为说法，令生惭愧，于所犯罪发露忏悔，不堕恶趣增进善根，长养阿耨多罗三藐三菩提 现代汉语译本： 善男子！是虚空藏菩萨摩诃萨（虚空藏菩萨，代表智慧和慈悲的菩萨），为了这个人，发起大慈悲心，示现在边地（偏远地区），随着他所应见到的，示现种种形象，或者沙门（出家修行者）的形象、婆罗门（古印度祭司）的形象、刹利（古印度武士）的形象、长者（有德望的年长者）的形象、居士（在家修行者）的形象等等，而为他们宣说一切种智（佛陀的智慧）甚深的大乘（佛教的最高教义）未曾有法（前所未有的教法），诸陀罗尼（总持一切法门的咒语）以及忍辱地（修习忍辱的境界），用这些种种微妙的佛法来引导他们。当时，那些声闻（小乘佛教的修行者）听闻佛法后，心中生起惭愧，极其恐惧，向说法者发露忏悔，发誓不再犯以前的罪过，安住于布施、持戒、忍辱、精进、禅定、智慧，勤修慈悲，获得人天之乐和涅槃之乐。 “复次，善男子！初发心菩萨（刚开始发菩提心的菩萨）趣向大乘，有八种根本罪犯波罗夷（佛教中最严重的罪），先前所修习的一切善根都会被烧毁，堕入恶趣（地狱、饿鬼、畜生），离开安稳之处，失去人天之乐，也失去大乘境界的快乐，长久在生死轮回中，远离善知识。哪八种呢？就是那些菩萨因为宿世的业力因缘，出生在五浊恶世（充满痛苦和烦恼的世界），虽然还有一些善根，能够接近善知识，归向甚深的大乘佛法，发了无上菩提心，但是智慧却很浅薄。这些初发心的菩萨，又从他人那里听闻了甚深的空性之法，读诵受持，却在一些少智愚痴的人面前读诵解说，其他人听了之后，感到惊疑和恐惧，对于阿耨多罗三藐三菩提（无上正等正觉，佛的智慧）的心生起退转，反而乐于声闻乘（小乘佛教），这就是初发心菩萨犯下的第一条根本重罪，先前所修习的一切善根都会被烧毁，堕入恶趣，离开安稳之处，失去人天之乐以及大乘境界的快乐，破坏了菩提心。所以菩萨，应该先了解众生的善根，以及他们的心，随着他们所能承受的程度，次第说法，就像进入大海一样，逐渐深入。善男子！是虚空藏菩萨摩诃萨，随着他们所应接受的，以种种形象示现在他们的国土，为他们说法，让他们生起惭愧，对于所犯的罪过发露忏悔，不堕入恶趣，增进善根，增长阿耨多罗三藐三菩提。
