English version The root of Dharma. A Bodhisattva-Mahasattva who obtains this pure wisdom power can quickly attain all wisdom, is also called one who is diligent and does not regress, is also called one who does not regress from the Dharma, can also quickly increase through this merit, and can also quickly obtain pure wisdom power in all Dharmas. ‘Holder of the World (a Bodhisattva's name)! If someone obtains this pure wisdom power in all Dharmas, this person is a field of merit in the world, this person is second only to me in being able to receive offerings, this person can reach the place where the Tathagata walks, this person can observe the Dharma of the Tathagata, and this person will soon be able to realize the wisdom of the Tathagata.’ ‘Holder of the World! When I was practicing the Bodhisattva path for immeasurable asamkhya kalpas in the past, Dipamkara Buddha (name of a past Buddha) gave me a prophecy: ‘After asamkhya kalpas, you will become a Buddha.’ At that time, I became fully aware of this pure wisdom power. ‘Holder of the World! If someone can achieve this pure wisdom power in all Dharmas, this person will attain Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi (unsurpassed, complete and perfect enlightenment), just as I have attained it now; this person will also turn the Dharma wheel, just as I am turning it now; this person will also roar like a lion, just as I am roaring like a lion now; this person will also obtain the power of freedom in all Dharmas, just as I do now. Holder of the World! You should diligently strive in this pure wisdom power, and soon you will naturally be complete with all wisdom.’ ‘Holder of the World! In the past, immeasurable asamkhya kalpas ago, there was a Buddha named Wisdom High King Tathagata (Buddha's name), Arhat (worthy of offerings), Samyak-sambuddha (perfectly enlightened one), Vidyā-carana-sampanna (endowed with wisdom and conduct), Sugata (well-gone), Lokavid (understander of the world), Anuttara (unsurpassed), Purusa-damya-sarathi (tamer of men), Shasta Deva-manushyanam (teacher of gods and humans), Buddha (enlightened one), Bhagavan (world-honored one).’ ‘Holder of the World! This Wisdom High King Tathagata had immeasurable Shravaka Sangha (community of monks who attained enlightenment by hearing the Dharma), and also had immeasurable Bodhisattva Sangha (community of monks practicing the Bodhisattva path), which was caused by the original vows and conditions of the Buddha. The land of this Wisdom High King Buddha has no three evil paths (hell, hungry ghosts, animals), and the beings there do not feel pain, and are ultimately complete with peace and happiness, and those who are free from desire can obstruct the five coverings (greed, hatred, sleepiness, restlessness, doubt). These beings achieve this pure happiness, just like the happiness of a person entering the fourth dhyana. The lifespan of this Wisdom High King Buddha is six million billion nayuta kalpas.’ ‘Holder of the World! At that time, only the Buddha was the king of the country, and there were no other kings, and the beings of the country all called the Buddha’ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

法王。是智高王佛多为诸菩萨,说是断一切众生疑喜一切众生心菩萨藏经。尔时有五百菩萨,闻是诸菩萨净智力,发如是精进力,尽形不生坐心,尽形不生衣服想,尽形不生我想众生想人想男女想,尽形终不多食,但修集如是净智力,勤行精进。五百菩萨以是善根因缘,命终皆生过东方十万亿国土,既生不久,修集是法故,得识宿命成就利根。其国土佛号无量花积王,现在说法,其诸菩萨始年十六,于无量花积王佛所出家,六十亿岁行童子梵行,亦修行如是精进。   “持世!是五百菩萨得值如是等二十亿佛,于诸佛所勤行精进,成就第一念安慧,末后值无量力高王佛与其授记,过万劫已当得阿耨多罗三藐三菩提。是五百人于万劫中,得值二万亿佛具足佛道,于一劫中次第得阿耨多罗三藐三菩提。   “持世!当知菩萨摩诃萨欲疾得阿耨多罗三藐三菩提者,于是净智力中,应生欲精进不放逸。何以故?持世!诸佛阿耨多罗三藐三菩提,皆以欲、精进、不放逸为根本,及余助道法,能具足佛法者。   “持世!我以如是精进得值二十亿佛,于诸法中世世成就念力,世世得识宿命,修集是法不休不息,我终不失是欲、精进、不放逸,我当成就欲、精进、不放逸。”   尔时,世尊以大慈悲心顾视四方,现 现代汉语译本: 法王(Dharmaraja)。智高王佛(Jñānottara-rāja Buddha)曾为诸菩萨宣说《断一切众生疑喜一切众生心菩萨藏经》。当时有五百位菩萨,听闻诸菩萨的清净智慧力,发起这样的精进力:终身不起坐卧之心,终身不起对衣服的贪恋,终身不起对‘我’、众生、人、男人、女人的执着,终身不过量饮食,只是修集这样的清净智慧力,勤奋修行精进。这五百位菩萨因为这样的善根因缘,命终后都往生到超过东方十万亿个国土的地方。往生后不久,因为修集这个法门的缘故,能够认识宿命,成就锐利的根器。那个国土的佛名为无量花积王佛(Aparimitapuṣpakūṭa-rāja Buddha),现在正在说法。那些菩萨开始时年龄十六岁,在无量花积王佛那里出家,六十亿岁都奉行童子梵行,也修行这样的精进。 ‘持世(Dharanimdhara)!这五百位菩萨得遇像这样的二十亿尊佛,在诸佛那里勤奋修行精进,成就第一的念安慧,最后遇到无量力高王佛(Aparimitabalottara-rāja Buddha)为他们授记,经过万劫之后应当证得阿耨多罗三藐三菩提(anuttarā-samyak-saṃbodhi)。这五百人在万劫之中,得遇二万亿尊佛,具足佛道,在一劫之中次第证得阿耨多罗三藐三菩提。’ ‘持世!应当知道,菩萨摩诃萨(bodhisattva-mahāsattva)想要快速证得阿耨多罗三藐三菩提,对于这清净智慧力,应当生起强烈的愿望,精进而不放逸。为什么呢?持世!诸佛的阿耨多罗三藐三菩提,都是以愿望、精进、不放逸为根本,以及其他的辅助修道之法,才能具足佛法。’ ‘持世!我因为这样的精进而得遇二十亿尊佛,在诸法中世世代代成就念力,世世代代能够认识宿命,修集这个法门不停止不间断,我始终不失去这愿望、精进、不放逸,我应当成就愿望、精进、不放逸。’ 当时,世尊以大慈悲心顾视四方,显现……

English version: Dharmaraja (法王). Jñānottara-rāja Buddha (智高王佛) extensively taught the Bodhisattvas the *Bodhisattva-piṭaka Sūtra on Severing the Doubts of All Sentient Beings and Gladdening the Hearts of All Sentient Beings*. At that time, there were five hundred Bodhisattvas who, upon hearing of the pure wisdom power of these Bodhisattvas, generated such vigor that they would not sit down for the rest of their lives, would not generate thoughts of clothing for the rest of their lives, would not generate thoughts of 'I', sentient beings, people, men, or women for the rest of their lives, and would not overeat for the rest of their lives, but would only cultivate such pure wisdom power and diligently practice vigor. These five hundred Bodhisattvas, due to these roots of goodness, were all reborn, upon death, in lands more than ten trillion Buddha-lands to the east. Soon after being reborn, because of cultivating this Dharma, they were able to recognize their past lives and achieve sharp faculties. The Buddha of that land is named Aparimitapuṣpakūṭa-rāja Buddha (无量花积王佛), and is currently teaching the Dharma. Those Bodhisattvas, starting at the age of sixteen, renounced the household life in the presence of Aparimitapuṣpakūṭa-rāja Buddha, and practiced the pure conduct of celibacy for sixty billion years, also cultivating such vigor. 'Dharanimdhara (持世)! These five hundred Bodhisattvas encountered twenty billion Buddhas such as these, diligently practicing vigor in the presence of these Buddhas, achieving the foremost mindfulness and wisdom. Finally, they encountered Aparimitabalottara-rāja Buddha (无量力高王佛), who predicted that they would attain anuttarā-samyak-saṃbodhi (阿耨多罗三藐三菩提) after ten thousand kalpas. These five hundred people, within ten thousand kalpas, will encounter twenty trillion Buddhas, complete the Buddha-path, and attain anuttarā-samyak-saṃbodhi in succession within one kalpa.' 'Dharanimdhara! You should know that if a Bodhisattva-mahāsattva (菩萨摩诃萨) wishes to quickly attain anuttarā-samyak-saṃbodhi, they should generate a strong desire, vigor, and non-negligence in this pure wisdom power. Why? Dharanimdhara! The anuttarā-samyak-saṃbodhi of all Buddhas is rooted in desire, vigor, and non-negligence, as well as other auxiliary practices, to fully embody the Buddha-dharma.' 'Dharanimdhara! I encountered twenty billion Buddhas because of such vigor, and in all my lives, I have achieved mindfulness in all Dharmas, and in all my lives, I have been able to recognize my past lives, cultivating this Dharma without ceasing or stopping. I will never lose this desire, vigor, and non-negligence, and I shall achieve desire, vigor, and non-negligence.' At that time, the World-Honored One gazed in all directions with great compassion, manifesting... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
