t14n0459 buddha speaks manjushri repentance sutra.g2.0f

English

English version All should follow themselves. Then, with the all-knowing mind (the wisdom that knows all dharmas) that has been generated, fully use it to encourage and assist the Buddha's path of wisdom (the wisdom that leads to enlightenment). 'Those past, future, and present who have attained the Buddha's path (the path to enlightenment), without any defilements, possessing precepts (moral conduct), concentration (meditation), wisdom (insight), liberation (freedom), and the knowledge and vision of deliverance (the wisdom to deliver sentient beings), traveling through all powers without being able to be turned back, because there is no fear. The Buddhas' Dharma has no obstacles, their boundless compassion is unparalleled, their great compassion does not rely on anyone. Equal like the void, unable to fathom its peak, without the distinction of two kinds of merit and retribution, purely removing the mind of delusion and adorning their body, speech, and mind. The gods, Śakra (ruler of the gods), and Brahmā (creator god) universally come to encourage and assist, widely expounding the teachings of the path and turning the Dharma wheel (spreading the Dharma), abandoning ignorance and not understanding consciousness, transforming all sentient beings and establishing Buddha's wisdom (the wisdom of the Buddha), I fully encourage and assist them to reach the Buddha's unsurpassed great path (the highest path to enlightenment).' 'Those past, future, and present Buddhas (enlightened ones), World-Honored Ones (respected enlightened ones), when approaching Parinirvana (death), skillfully and expediently, with the power of their majestic spirit, establish and spread relics (the remains of the Buddha) to cause people to make offerings. Gathering the aspirations and nature of all sentient beings, from beginning to end, until the True Dharma (the true teachings of the Buddha) is extinguished, I encourage and assist all that can be encouraged and assisted, aspiring to the Buddha's wisdom (the wisdom of the Buddha) and the unsurpassed great path (the highest path to enlightenment).' 'Past, future, and present Buddhas (enlightened ones), World-Honored Ones (respected enlightened ones) manifest Parinirvana (death), gathering the Śrāvakas (those who attain enlightenment by hearing the Dharma), surpassing all obstacles, guiding the faithful to understand the taste of the Dharma realm (the realm of truth), guiding the mindfulness of Dharma (reflection on the Dharma) to cross over the eight evils (eight wrong views and actions), which are the Eightfold Path (eight right views and actions). Abiding in the ground of unconditioned (unfabricated) nature, those beings of that nature return to the stream and become Srotāpanna (stream-enterer, the first stage of Buddhist sainthood); twice returning and revolving become Sakṛdāgāmin (once-returner, the second stage of Buddhist sainthood); dying here and being born there, no longer returning become Anāgāmin (non-returner, the third stage of Buddhist sainthood); unconditioned, unarising, and no further progress become Arhat (worthy one, the highest stage of Buddhist sainthood); distinguishing and understanding the profound and subtle dependent origination (the law of interdependence) of the twelve causes (twelve links that lead to the cycle of rebirth) become Pratyekabuddhas (solitary Buddhas, those who attain liberation through their own understanding of dependent origination); eyes that see all, wisdom that penetrates everything become Bodhisattvas (beings who aspire to enlightenment).' 'Those who initially generate the Bodhicitta (the mind of enlightenment) have a mind equal to the earth, universally entering all practices. The true reality (the true principle) that is practiced, exhaustively explores the origin of all phenomena of birth and death (all life phenomena), fully possessing the Buddha's Dharma (the Buddha's teachings) without regression, without attachment to all births, and then can enter the stage of being a one-lifetime-away-from-Buddhahood (a Bodhisattva who will become a Buddha in the next life). Speaking and proclaiming the wisdom of non-attachment (the wisdom of not being attached to anything) and emitting great light, the roots of all virtues have no root, and also' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 无所住,吾悉劝助如是像法。

“志于佛慧无上大道,其有去、来及今现在三世之中,众生之类净诸佛眼。所可布施不计吾我,无所贪爱;所作功德禁戒无尽,不可限量。所修道义其行无行,所有功德悉以劝助诸佛之慧,无上大道而不差别,等无所损,清净离秽,犹如虚空。入于殊妙智慧众圣,则为最上导御众义,精进行法自然如空、真实无比,亦如无为便无有侣,以是劝助。   “取要言之:如去、来、今诸佛、世尊,本为菩萨行求道时,所行无量、智度无极、善权方便、无所挂碍,真实之行善修清净,行清净已证取佛慧,所可劝助众德之本方当劝助。   “吾当学此所尊修法而效劝助,志于佛慧无上大道,使诸众生——如十方界满中诸尘——身所行事,一切见佛悉令发心不可计会,解于大道,自在所行。吾悉劝助斯众德本。了此德本不可捉持,一切诸法犹如虚空。若能劝助此德本已,则无有本;已离诸本不可护持,无所志念寂然无生;达无生已便入诸法;已入诸法便劝德本,如为己身所可劝助,亦复劝助一切菩萨,开化众生俱复如是,等无差特。是,族姓子!菩萨大士劝助佛慧,顺而无失乃至大道。   “复次,族姓子!菩萨大士所住如此深妙大义,然复口宣斯之言教。   “其有十方不 现代汉语译本: ‘不执着于任何事物,我完全赞助和帮助这样的像法(Dharma image)。’ ‘立志于佛的智慧,无上的大道,无论是过去、未来还是现在的三世之中,所有众生都能净化他们的佛眼。他们所做的布施不计较自我,没有贪爱;他们所做的功德,所持的戒律,都是无尽的,不可估量的。他们所修的道义,其行为是无为的,他们将所有的功德都用来赞助和帮助诸佛的智慧,无上的大道,而不加以分别,平等无损,清净无染,犹如虚空。进入殊胜微妙的智慧,成为众圣中最上的导师,精进修行,自然如虚空般真实无比,也像无为一样没有伴侣,以此来赞助。’ ‘总而言之:就像过去、未来、现在的诸佛、世尊,原本作为菩萨修行求道时,所修行的无量法门、智度无极、善巧方便、无所挂碍,真实的修行,清净的修持,在清净修行之后证得佛的智慧,所有可以赞助和帮助的功德之本,都应当赞助和帮助。’ ‘我应当学习这种所尊重的修行方法,效法赞助和帮助,立志于佛的智慧,无上的大道,使所有众生——如同十方世界充满尘埃一样——身所行之事,一切见到佛,都能够发心,不可计数,理解大道,自在修行。我完全赞助和帮助这些功德之本。了解这些功德之本不可捉摸,一切诸法犹如虚空。如果能够赞助和帮助这些功德之本,那就没有了本;已经脱离了诸本,不可护持,没有志向和念头,寂然无生;通达无生之后,便进入诸法;已经进入诸法,便赞助功德之本,如同为自己所赞助和帮助一样,也赞助和帮助一切菩萨,开化众生,都同样如此,平等没有差别。是的,族姓子(noble son)!菩萨大士赞助佛的智慧,顺应而不失误,直至大道。’ ‘再次,族姓子(noble son)!菩萨大士安住于如此深妙的大义之中,然而又口中宣说这些言教。’ ‘如果有十方……’

English version: ‘Without dwelling on anything, I fully support and assist such a Dharma image.’ ‘Aspiring to the Buddha's wisdom, the supreme Great Way, in the past, future, and present three periods, all sentient beings can purify their Buddha eyes. What they give in charity is without regard for self, without greed; the merits they make, the precepts they hold, are endless and immeasurable. The righteousness they cultivate, their actions are non-action, they use all their merits to support and assist the wisdom of all Buddhas, the supreme Great Way, without discrimination, equally without loss, pure and undefiled, like empty space. Entering into the supremely wonderful wisdom, becoming the highest guide among the saints, diligently practicing, naturally like empty space, truly incomparable, also like non-action without companion, with this they support.’ ‘In short: like the Buddhas, World Honored Ones of the past, future, and present, originally as Bodhisattvas practicing the path, the immeasurable Dharma doors they practiced, the wisdom beyond measure, skillful means, without hindrance, true practice, pure cultivation, after pure cultivation attaining the Buddha's wisdom, all the roots of merit that can be supported and assisted, should be supported and assisted.’ ‘I should learn this respected method of practice, emulate support and assistance, aspire to the Buddha's wisdom, the supreme Great Way, so that all sentient beings—like the dust filling the ten directions—all their actions, all who see the Buddha, can generate the aspiration, immeasurable, understand the Great Way, freely practice. I fully support and assist these roots of merit. Understanding that these roots of merit are intangible, all Dharmas are like empty space. If one can support and assist these roots of merit, then there is no root; having left all roots, unprotectable, without aspiration or thought, silent and unarisen; having attained non-arising, then entering all Dharmas; having entered all Dharmas, then supporting the roots of merit, just as one supports and assists oneself, also supporting and assisting all Bodhisattvas, enlightening sentient beings, all the same, equally without difference. Yes, noble son! Bodhisattva Mahasattvas support the Buddha's wisdom, in accordance without error, until the Great Way.’ ‘Furthermore, noble son! Bodhisattva Mahasattvas dwell in such profound and wonderful great meaning, yet also verbally proclaim these teachings.’ ‘If there are ten directions…’ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

可称计诸佛、世尊,在其世界逮得无上正真之道成最正觉,晓了经典,过于四魔,逮成无获澹泊之法,皆离文字、应圣二事。如所逮法而复观察,善权方便示现受法,开化所应可度众生,不失大哀。稽首请问,乐于静寂,观彼佛树,为诸天、龙、神、揵沓和所见咨嗟,解了音响、言语、文辞,为一切说。若立此行则能降伏魔及官属,化诸怨敌令无刺棘——所曰刺棘,三毒之谓——具足所愿,辄如所念灭除曚冥,则成世间无极弘曜。   “圣慧之明入于无量,分别聪达,道靡不通,其智慧轮莫能遏毁,行权方便畅识一切众生根本,为说经法莫能抑制,而皆断绝一切处所闭结之行,照见群黎所欲咨受。   “五体投地稽首诸佛,尊敬归命,为胜、为殊、为最第一、为无等伦、无有过上、不有譬喻、无可为侣,佛之智慧如是难及、观无二际。我如此礼乃为礼佛,无所从生、亦无所至。为忍辱礼首悔殃衅,以稽首佛悔过自归,殃罪消索,云除日出。   “假使无量十方一切所有世界满中众尘如此之数众生之类,口所宣说、发心之顷,思念诸想不可计会,劝助诸佛令转法轮。   “此诸世尊转无上轮、至无二轮、无有形相无成就轮、不可得轮、裂坏一切魔罗网轮、久远已来觉无从生逮致大道而𥧝起轮、开化众生 现代汉语译本:可以称量计算的诸佛、世尊(Bhagavan,佛的尊称),在他们的世界里获得无上正真之道,成就最正觉(Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi,无上正等正觉),通晓经典,超越四魔(蕴魔、烦恼魔、死魔、天魔),证得无所得的澹泊之法,都远离文字和应圣二事。如果对所证得的法进行观察,善巧方便地示现接受佛法,开化所应度化的众生,不失去大慈大悲。稽首请问,乐于静寂,观彼佛树(菩提树),为诸天(Deva)、龙(Naga)、神(Deva)、乾闼婆(Gandharva,天上的乐神)所见赞叹,理解音响、言语、文辞,为一切众生说法。如果确立这种行为,就能降伏魔及其眷属,化解各种怨敌,使他们不再有刺棘——这里所说的刺棘,指的是贪嗔痴三毒——具足所愿,就能如所念般灭除曚昧,成就世间无极弘大的光明。 圣慧的光明进入无量境界,分别事理,聪敏通达,对于道没有不通晓的,其智慧之轮无法遏制摧毁,运用权巧方便,通畅地了解一切众生的根基,所说的经法无法抑制,并且能够断绝一切处所的闭塞和障碍,照见众生所希望咨询和接受的教诲。 五体投地稽首诸佛,尊敬归命,因为佛是殊胜的、特别的、最第一的、无与伦比的、没有可以超越的、没有可以比喻的、无可为伴的,佛的智慧是如此难以企及,观照事物没有二元对立的界限。我如此礼拜才是真正的礼佛,因为佛无所从来,也无所去。为了忍辱而礼首,忏悔罪过,以稽首佛的方式忏悔过错,自我归依,罪业消散,如同乌云消散,太阳升起。 假使无量十方一切所有世界都充满微尘,数量如此之多的众生,口中所宣说、发心之时,思念的各种想法不可计数,劝请诸佛转法轮(Dharmacakra,佛法的传播)。 这些世尊转动无上法轮、到达无二法轮、没有形相的无成就法轮、不可得法轮、摧毁一切魔罗(Mara,恶魔)网的法轮、从久远以来觉悟无所从来而证得大道并开始转动的法轮、开化众生。
