语善思惟童子言:“汝觉何法为众生说?” 尔时,善思惟童子以偈答言: “诸佛及声闻, 一切无得者, 我觉如是法, 为诸众生说。 其法世界无, 亦无有言说, 智者应当知, 其法性如是。 过去正遍知、 天人无上尊, 无得此法者, 导师入涅槃。 彼处无法界, 亦无众生界, 此是无上际, 非世间境界。 法界但是名, 名字而分别, 无分别分别, 分别毕竟无。” 尔时,富楼那弥多罗尼子以偈问善思惟童子言: “云何于此法, 童子而修学? 甚深难知处, 智者于此惑。 汝生来未久, 智慧甚通达, 与声闻谈论, 智慧无障碍。 处处巧明净, 如成炼真金、 如王在大众、 如月在于空。” 尔时,善思惟童子以偈答慧命富楼那曰: “汝今知己问, 彼处无有生。 诸法未曾生, 谁受于生者? 无一法生者, 自性不可得, 此是诸法性, 求法不可得。 法及于法性, 二俱不可得, 二俱未曾有, 而佛说妙法。 此是第一轮, 鹿苑中所说, 如卷把于空, 以觉诸声闻。 法音遍一切, 救度诸众生, 以得方便智, 如实 现代汉语译本 语善思惟童子问道:‘你觉悟了什么法,要为众生宣说呢?’ 当时,善思惟童子用偈颂回答说: ‘诸佛和声闻(Śrāvaka,听闻佛法而证悟的修行者),一切都没有获得什么。 我觉悟了这样的法,要为众生宣说。 这个法在世界中不存在,也没有任何言语可以表达, 智者应当明白,这个法的自性就是如此。 过去的圆满正等觉者(Sammasambuddha,通过自身努力达到觉悟的佛陀)、天人无上尊, 没有谁能真正获得这个法,导师(Buddha,佛陀)最终入涅槃(Nirvana,解脱)。 那个地方没有法界(Dharmadhatu,一切法的总称),也没有众生界(Sattvadhatu,一切众生的总称), 这是无上的边际,不是世间所能理解的境界。 法界只是一个名称,用名字来分别, 没有分别的分别,这种分别最终也是不存在的。’ 当时,富楼那弥多罗尼子(Pūrṇamaitrāyaṇīputra)用偈颂问善思惟童子说: ‘如何才能修学你所说的这个法呢,童子? 这个法非常深奥难以理解,智者也会在此感到迷惑。 你年纪轻轻,智慧却如此通达, 与声闻谈论佛法,智慧没有丝毫障碍。 处处都显得巧妙明净,如同炼成的真金, 如同国王在大众之中,如同明月悬挂在空中。’ 当时,善思惟童子用偈颂回答慧命(Āyuṣmat,对有德长老的尊称)富楼那说: ‘你现在知道自己所问的问题,那个地方没有生。 诸法从来没有产生过,谁又会承受生呢? 没有一个法是真正产生的,自性是不可得的, 这就是诸法的自性,追求法也是不可得的。 法和法的自性,二者都是不可得的, 二者都未曾真实存在过,而佛陀却宣说了这微妙的法。 这是最初的法轮(Dharmacakra,佛陀的教法),在鹿野苑(Mrigadava)中所宣说, 如同用手卷起空中的东西,以此来觉悟诸声闻。 佛法的声音遍及一切,救度所有的众生, 因为获得了方便的智慧,才能如实地了解。’

English version The youth Good Thinking asked: 'What Dharma (law, teaching) have you awakened to that you speak for sentient beings?' At that time, the youth Good Thinking answered in verse: 'The Buddhas (enlightened ones) and Śrāvakas (disciples who hear and follow the teachings), all have obtained nothing. I have awakened to such a Dharma, and I speak it for all sentient beings. This Dharma does not exist in the world, nor can it be expressed in words. The wise should know that the nature of this Dharma is such. The past Sammasambuddhas (fully enlightened Buddhas), the supreme among gods and humans, None have truly obtained this Dharma; the Teacher (Buddha) enters Nirvana (liberation). In that place, there is no Dharmadhatu (realm of Dharma), nor is there a Sattvadhatu (realm of beings). This is the supreme limit, not a realm that the world can comprehend. Dharmadhatu is just a name, distinguished by names. Distinguishing without distinguishing; this distinguishing is ultimately nonexistent.' At that time, Pūrṇamaitrāyaṇīputra asked the youth Good Thinking in verse: 'How does one study this Dharma, youth? This is a very profound and difficult to understand place; the wise are confused by it. You are young, but your wisdom is so thorough, When discussing Dharma with Śrāvakas, your wisdom is without obstruction. Everywhere you are skillful, bright, and pure, like refined gold, Like a king in the assembly, like the moon in the sky.' At that time, the youth Good Thinking answered Āyuṣmat (venerable) Pūrṇa in verse: 'Now you know your own question; in that place, there is no birth. If the Dharmas have never been born, who is there to receive birth? If no Dharma is truly born, its self-nature is unobtainable. This is the nature of all Dharmas; seeking the Dharma is unobtainable. The Dharma and the nature of Dharma, both are unobtainable. Both have never truly existed, yet the Buddha speaks of the wonderful Dharma. This is the first turning of the Dharmacakra (wheel of Dharma), spoken in Mrigadava (Deer Park), Like rolling up something in the air with your hand, to awaken the Śrāvakas. The sound of the Dharma pervades everything, saving all sentient beings, Because one obtains expedient wisdom, one can understand truthfully.' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 而演说。 生者及与死, 是凡夫境界, 富楼那!汝有, 颠倒未除尽。 生者及死者, 此世间言说, 无言说法中, 言说是密语。”

尔时,富楼那弥多罗尼子白佛言:“希有,世尊!善思惟童子于此甚深法中智慧通达。” 佛告富楼那:“如是如是,如汝所说。” 佛问善思惟童子:“汝以何义求阿耨多罗三藐三菩提?” 尔时,善思惟童子而说偈言: “天人无上尊, 知已而故问。 如牟尼所说, 谁当有所求? 我今无所求, 而求无滞法, 甚深无上句, 清净离诸漏。 众生不可得, 非众生亦然, 于此不迷没, 能住于世间。 若能如是知, 甚深无上句, 一者及异者, 如上实际说。 觉悟诸众生, 众生不可得, 以无众生故, 亦无觉知者。 智慧及众生, 自性不可得, 若能如是知, 是名为智者。 世尊!我如是, 自然能觉知, 为一切众生, 而说无上法。” 尔时,阿难白佛言:“希有,世尊!善思惟童子以此甚深辩才于无证无得法中而能解说,一切世间天、人、阿修罗于此法中皆生惊怖。世尊!谁于此法而不修学?于此深法应先修学。” 尔时, 现代汉语译本 并且演说。 生者和死者,是凡夫的境界, 富楼那(Purna,人名)!你还有颠倒的观念没有完全消除。 生者和死者,这是世间的言说, 在超越言说的法中,任何言说都是一种秘密。 这时,富楼那弥多罗尼子(Purna Maitrayani-putra,人名)对佛说:‘希有啊,世尊!善思惟童子(Suvicintita-kumara,人名)对于这甚深的佛法,智慧通达。’ 佛告诉富楼那:‘是的,是的,正如你所说。’ 佛问善思惟童子:‘你以什么样的意义来求阿耨多罗三藐三菩提(anuttara-samyak-sambodhi,无上正等正觉)?’ 这时,善思惟童子说了偈语: ‘天人无上尊,知道之后还故意问。 如牟尼(Muni,圣人)所说,谁还会有所求? 我现在无所求,而求无滞碍的法, 甚深无上的语句,清净远离各种烦恼。 众生不可得,非众生也不可得, 对于此理不迷惑,就能安住于世间。 如果能够这样理解,这甚深无上的语句, 一和异,都如实相所说。 觉悟诸众生,众生却不可得, 因为没有众生,也就没有觉知者。 智慧和众生,自性都不可得, 如果能够这样理解,这便称为智者。 世尊!我就是这样,自然能够觉知, 为了所有众生,而宣说无上之法。’ 这时,阿难(Ananda,人名)对佛说:‘希有啊,世尊!善思惟童子以如此甚深的辩才,在无证无得的法中也能解说,一切世间的天、人、阿修罗(asura,一种神)对于此法都感到惊怖。世尊!谁会不修学此法呢?对于这甚深的法,应该首先修学。’ 这时,

English version and expounding. The living and the dead are the realm of ordinary beings, Purna (Purna, a name)! You still have inverted views that have not been completely eliminated. The living and the dead are worldly expressions, In the Dharma beyond words, any expression is a secret. At that time, Purna Maitrayani-putra (Purna Maitrayani-putra, a name) said to the Buddha: 'It is rare, World Honored One! Suvicintita-kumara (Suvicintita-kumara, a name) has wisdom and understanding in this profound Dharma.' The Buddha told Purna: 'So it is, so it is, as you say.' The Buddha asked Suvicintita-kumara: 'With what meaning do you seek anuttara-samyak-sambodhi (anuttara-samyak-sambodhi, unsurpassed perfect enlightenment)?' At that time, Suvicintita-kumara spoke in verse: 'The Supreme One of gods and humans, knows and yet asks. As the Muni (Muni, a sage) said, who would still seek something? I now seek nothing, but seek the unobstructed Dharma, The profound and supreme phrase, pure and free from all defilements. Sentient beings are unattainable, and non-sentient beings are also unattainable, Without being confused by this, one can dwell in the world. If one can understand it thus, this profound and supreme phrase, One and different, are as the true reality describes. Enlightening all sentient beings, yet sentient beings are unattainable, Because there are no sentient beings, there is also no one who is aware. Wisdom and sentient beings, their nature is unattainable, If one can understand it thus, this is called a wise person. World Honored One! I am thus, naturally able to be aware, For all sentient beings, I speak the unsurpassed Dharma.' At that time, Ananda (Ananda, a name) said to the Buddha: 'It is rare, World Honored One! Suvicintita-kumara, with such profound eloquence, can explain even the Dharma of no attainment and no realization. All the gods, humans, and asuras (asura, a type of deity) in the world are frightened by this Dharma. World Honored One! Who would not study this Dharma? This profound Dharma should be studied first.' At that time,

慧命阿难而说偈言: “善思惟童子, 在于大众中, 如须弥宝山, 观者皆爱乐; 譬如须弥山, 安处于大海, 如是善说法, 世间所爱乐。 非有名、无名, 童子之所说, 所说实际法, 非世间境界。 如是言说时, 不生惊怖心。 汝今为我说, 云何如是知?” 尔时,童子而说偈言: “我不顾身命, 求法无所著, 如是求菩提, 多闻应当知。 因欲堕愦闹, 世间受诸苦, 我已不贪着, 见世导师故。 此诸佛境界, 救护世间者, 今在于佛前, 身无有诸过。 虚空及我身, 二俱不可得, 若无法可得, 于法有何怖? 虚空及与佛, 二俱不可得, 若能如是忍, 于法无所畏。 虚空及与地, 自性不可得, 善思此自性, 于法无所畏。 善思虚空地, 本无当亦无, 无自性无生, 畏者无自性。 虚空无高下, 毕竟不可得, 如是知法者, 于法无所畏。” 尔时,世尊问善思惟童子言:“汝不畏也?” “不也。世尊!” “汝不惊也?” “不也。世尊!” 佛告童子:“善哉善哉!汝能于此甚深法中不惊不怖。” 现代汉语译本: 慧命阿难(Ānanda,佛陀的十大弟子之一,以记忆力超群著称)用偈语说道: ‘善思惟童子(Śubhavyūha,菩萨名), 在大众之中, 犹如须弥宝山(Sumeru,佛教宇宙观中的圣山), 观看的人都喜爱; 譬如须弥山, 安稳地处于大海, 如此善于说法, 为世间所喜爱。 非有名、也非无名, 童子所说的法, 所说的是实际之法, 不是世间的境界。 像这样言说之时, 不生起惊慌恐惧之心。 你现在为我说说, 是怎样才能如此了知的?’ 当时,童子用偈语说道: ‘我不顾惜身命, 为了求法而无所执着, 像这样寻求菩提(bodhi,觉悟), 博学多闻的人应当知晓。 因为贪欲而堕入喧闹, 世间众生承受各种痛苦, 我已经不贪恋执着, 因为见到了世间的导师(佛陀)。 这是诸佛的境界, 是救护世间众生的人, 如今我在佛前, 身心没有各种过失。 虚空和我的身体, 两者都是不可得的, 如果没有法可以得到, 对于法有什么可恐惧的? 虚空和佛陀, 两者都是不可得的, 如果能够这样安忍, 对于法就没有什么可畏惧的。 虚空和大地, 它们的自性是不可得的, 好好思量这自性, 对于法就没有什么可畏惧的。 好好思量虚空大地, 本来没有将来也没有, 没有自性没有生起, 恐惧的人也没有自性。 虚空没有高下之分, 毕竟是不可得的, 像这样了解法的人, 对于法就没有什么可畏惧的。’ 当时,世尊问善思惟童子说:‘你不畏惧吗?’ ‘不畏惧,世尊!’ ‘你不惊慌吗?’ ‘不惊慌,世尊!’ 佛告诉童子说:‘好啊好啊!你能够在这甚深微妙的法中不惊慌不恐惧。’

English version: The venerable Ānanda (one of the ten principal disciples of the Buddha, known for his excellent memory) spoke in verse: ‘The well-thinking youth (Śubhavyūha, name of a Bodhisattva), Is in the midst of the great assembly, Like Mount Sumeru (Sumeru, the sacred mountain in Buddhist cosmology), Those who see him all love and rejoice; Like Mount Sumeru, Firmly situated in the great ocean, Thus he skillfully preaches the Dharma, Loved and rejoiced by the world. Neither with name nor without name, Is what the youth speaks, What is spoken is the actual Dharma, Not the realm of the world. When speaking in this way, No heart of fear or dread arises. Now, tell me, How do you know in this way?’ At that time, the youth spoke in verse: ‘I do not care for my life, Seeking the Dharma without attachment, Thus seeking Bodhi (bodhi, enlightenment), The learned should know. Because of desire, one falls into turmoil, The world suffers all kinds of pain, I am no longer greedy or attached, Because I have seen the world's guide (the Buddha). This is the realm of all Buddhas, Those who save and protect the world, Now I am before the Buddha, My body and mind have no faults. The empty space and my body, Both are unattainable, If there is no Dharma to be obtained, What is there to fear in the Dharma? The empty space and the Buddha, Both are unattainable, If one can endure in this way, There is nothing to fear in the Dharma. The empty space and the earth, Their self-nature is unattainable, Think well of this self-nature, There is nothing to fear in the Dharma. Think well of the empty space and the earth, Originally there was not, and there will not be, Without self-nature, without arising, The fearful one has no self-nature. The empty space has no high or low, Ultimately unattainable, One who knows the Dharma in this way, Has nothing to fear in the Dharma.’ At that time, the World Honored One asked the youth Well-Thinking: ‘Are you not afraid?’ ‘No, World Honored One!’ ‘Are you not alarmed?’ ‘No, World Honored One!’ The Buddha told the youth: ‘Excellent, excellent! You are able to be neither alarmed nor afraid in this profound and subtle Dharma.’ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 尔时,世尊而说偈言: “若于体生畏, 其体不可得, 若如是常忍, 其人求菩提。 说于众生想, 众生不可得, 若能如是知, 安住于此乘。 若不得菩提、 不得非菩提, 更无有所得, 彼则无所畏。 若能如是知, 不住有、无中, 如是汝应知, 此道是菩提。
