t14n0485 non possessing bodhisattva sutra.g2.0f

English

English version: Is he without evil remorse, and also without vexation?' At that time, the World-Honored One (Shì zūn) replied in verse: 'Sentient beings act clinging to appearances, speaking as if seeing a mirage (yáng yàn), Having awakened to emptiness (kōng xìng) and no-self (wú wǒ), one should understand all eloquence (biàn cái). Having awakened to the true, most supreme meaning, he will be free from the eight difficulties (bā nán), He will fulfill the four wheels (sì zhǒng lún), possessing the skillful wisdom of a Bodhisattva (pú sà). Shaking off all attachments, not seeking extreme ascetic practices (kǔ xíng), Knowing that the self is empty, there will be no more doubt or regret. Knowing that all dharmas (zhū fǎ) are like empty space (xū kōng), one will not be attached to the world. Having awakened to the meaning of delusion, one will attain Buddha-bodhi (fó pú tí).' At that time, the Bodhisattva 'Devoid of All' (Wú suǒ yǒu pú sà), rejoicing in these words, again asked the World-Honored One (Shì zūn) in verse: 'Well spoken are these words, embodying all wisdom, Rejoicing in these words, I ask again, O Supreme Among Men. Having heard this, upon reaching a quiet place, one should dwell nowhere. How does one generate bodhicitta (pú tí xīn), to be called the most supreme?' At that time, the World-Honored One (Shì zūn) further explained, speaking in verse: 'Having heard thus, generate bodhicitta (pú tí xīn), and having generated it, dwell nowhere, That supreme being will walk the supreme path of bodhi (pú tí dào). If one walks in this way, he will dwell nowhere, He will quickly awaken to bodhi (pú tí), like a skilled archer shooting an arrow. This is the teaching of the three practices (sān xíng), if one awakens to it as it truly is, Like the inherent nature of stillness, he does not cling to the practice of bodhi (pú tí). If within the sound of conditioned existence (yǒu wéi), something is spoken to the world, All sounds are illusory, one should know that it is not real. In the unreal, there is no arising, and practice is unattainable, If one can understand in this way, he is walking the path of bodhi (pú tí xíng). Taking practice with non-practice (wú xíng), it is not a shallow unfolding, Having no awareness, practice is unattainable.' At that time, the Bodhisattva 'Devoid of All' (Wú suǒ yǒu pú sà) asked in verse: 'Well spoken are these words, embodying all wisdom

English version: Rejoicing in these words, I again ask the highest among men. What is the cause of abandoning these bodies, to be without all suffering, To be equal in all realms, to abandon the course of life? If lying on the right side, if sitting in the lotus position, Or standing upright, or with palms joined, When expounding the profound Dharma, it is the Prajna-paramita (prajna-paramita, perfection of wisdom). All the Buddhadharma, not abiding in the quiescent Dharmas, Or seeing the time of becoming a Buddha, or praising the Dharmas, All the Dharmas spoken, listen with a concentrated mind. When abandoning the old body, afterwards a new body is born, From one home to another, generating Bodhicitta (bodhi-citta, the mind of enlightenment), Not confused by the thought of taming, with one thought rightly abiding in Samadhi. 'How does one abandon life, how does one manifest supernatural powers? Please explain this question for me, O Sage with boundless wisdom.' 'In brief, it can be known, as the tamer has said, All the merits, immeasurable and inconceivable, All perfections are complete, they will all be accomplished. The teacher said to me, as it is in reality, If these merits are heard, all should be offered. When guarding the ten virtues, without doubt in the Dharma of emptiness, Possessing the four Brahma-caryas (brahma-carya, pure conduct), all will be accomplished. One should not be attached to the six senses, and all the three realms, Everything can be obtained freely, and no doubt will arise from what is heard. All conditioned Dharmas, should be known as illusions, One should know in this way, that the illusion is without action. Without action and without illusion, without speaking and without discrimination, Without thinking and without words, without stinginess and without giving; In inaction and illusion, without speaking and without discrimination, Without thinking and without words, without keeping precepts and without breaking them; In inaction and illusion, without speaking and without discrimination, Without thinking and without words, without strife and without patience;

无为无影中,  无说无分别,  无思无言中,  无懈无精进;  无为无影中,  无说无分别,  无思无言中,  无乱无禅定;  无为无影中,  无说无分别,  无思无言中,  无愚无智慧。  于时无影已,  更无有所见,  彼无所见已,  故言为无影。  亦非无有眼,  其眼净无垢,  彼中无有物,  无物盲不见。  清净当无物,  无名无清净,  如是净眼者,  清净无所见。  所有影无有,  无有亦无有,  其空于空中,  于诸烦恼等。  现无当亦无,  若男若女二,  今无当亦无,  此等如虚空,  无思无分别。  若知如此者,  彼无有所著,  离诸身有住,  当求诸佛法。  如虚空无边,  彼无所可住,  无住无攀缘,  随意去而去。  如是摩诃萨,  当觉此方便,  不著于三界,  当行菩提行,  心及与身口,  常行为众生。  不知体空虚,  犹如压油轮,  彼等见行时,  不得于边际,  令住不动法,  无所有住处。  数数见众生,  受诸苦恼时,  于彼起悲心,  当行菩提行,  为诸众生说,  如实真如相,  汝等离有为,  应觉于真实。  颠倒无智故,  无牢起 现代汉语译本 在无为(Asamskrita,不造作,不依赖条件)和无影(无形)的状态中,没有言说,没有分别。 在没有思虑,没有言语的状态中,没有懈怠,没有精进。 在无为(Asamskrita,不造作,不依赖条件)和无影(无形)的状态中,没有言说,没有分别。 在没有思虑,没有言语的状态中,没有散乱,没有禅定。 在无为(Asamskrita,不造作,不依赖条件)和无影(无形)的状态中,没有言说,没有分别。 在没有思虑,没有言语的状态中,没有愚痴,没有智慧。 当处于无影(无形)的状态时,不再有任何所见。 因为他没有任何所见,所以才说是无影(无形)。 这并非是没有眼睛,而是他的眼睛清净没有污垢。 在那其中没有任何事物,没有事物,所以(像盲人一样)看不见。 清净的状态应当是没有任何事物,没有名称,也没有清净本身。 像这样清净的眼睛,在清净中没有任何所见。 所有的影像是没有的,连‘没有’这个概念也是没有的。 它的空性存在于空性之中,存在于各种烦恼之中。 显现的‘无’应当也是没有的,无论是男人还是女人这二者。 现在的‘无’应当也是没有的,这些都如同虚空一样,没有思虑,没有分别。 如果知道是这样,他就不会有任何执著,脱离了对身体存在的执著。 应当寻求诸佛的法。如同虚空没有边际,他没有任何可以停留的地方,没有停留,没有攀缘。 随意地来,随意地去。像这样的大菩萨(Mahasattva),应当觉悟这种方便法门,不执著于三界(Trailokya,欲界、色界、无色界)。 应当行菩萨行,用心、身、口,常常为众生而行。 因为不知道身体的体性是空虚的,就像压榨油的轮子一样,当他们看见这种行为时,无法到达边际,使他们安住在不动的法上,没有任何可以安住的地方。 一次又一次地看见众生,遭受各种痛苦烦恼时,对他们生起悲悯之心,应当行菩萨行,为众生宣说如实的真如之相,你们应当脱离有为法,觉悟真实。 因为颠倒和没有智慧,才会产生不牢固的(事物)。

English version In the state of Asamskrita (unconditioned, not dependent on conditions) and without shadow (formless), there is no speaking, no differentiation. In the state of no thought, no speech, there is no laziness, no diligence. In the state of Asamskrita (unconditioned, not dependent on conditions) and without shadow (formless), there is no speaking, no differentiation. In the state of no thought, no speech, there is no distraction, no meditation. In the state of Asamskrita (unconditioned, not dependent on conditions) and without shadow (formless), there is no speaking, no differentiation. In the state of no thought, no speech, there is no ignorance, no wisdom. When in the state of without shadow (formless), there is no longer anything seen. Because he has nothing seen, therefore it is said to be without shadow (formless). This is not that there are no eyes, but his eyes are pure and without defilement. In that, there is nothing, no thing, so (like a blind person) cannot see. The state of purity should be without anything, without name, and without purity itself. Like this, pure eyes, in purity, there is nothing seen. All shadows are non-existent, even the concept of 'non-existent' is non-existent. Its emptiness exists in emptiness, exists in all kinds of afflictions. The appearing 'non-existence' should also be non-existent, whether it is man or woman, these two. The present 'non-existence' should also be non-existent, these are all like the void, without thought, without differentiation. If one knows it is like this, he will not have any attachment, detached from the attachment to the existence of the body. One should seek the Dharma of all Buddhas. Like the void without boundaries, he has nowhere to stay, no staying, no clinging. Come as you please, go as you please. Like this Mahasattva (great being), should awaken to this expedient means, not attached to the Trailokya (three realms: desire realm, form realm, formless realm). One should practice the Bodhisattva conduct, with heart, body, and mouth, always acting for sentient beings. Because they do not know that the nature of the body is empty, like a wheel for pressing oil, when they see this action, they cannot reach the boundary, causing them to dwell on the immovable Dharma, with no place to dwell. Again and again seeing sentient beings, suffering all kinds of afflictions, arising compassion for them, one should practice the Bodhisattva conduct, speaking to sentient beings the true Suchness, you should detach from conditioned dharmas, awaken to the truth. Because of inversion and lack of wisdom, unstable (things) arise.

牢思,  无牢身体中,  愚痴等味着。  此身常日别,  以饮食买赎,  彼不为自他,  虚妄受疲倦。  常与受乐时,  亦无念恩德,  无恩念羸弱,  宜应速舍去。  生死中受苦,  处所无有边,  今亦不可得,  当亦不可得。  生死中多饮,  处所无有边,  今亦不可得,  当亦不可得。  生死受戏乐,  处所无有边,  今亦不可得,  当亦不可得。  生死多受喜,  处所无有边,  今亦不可得,  当亦不可得。  承事此身已,  处所无有边,  今亦不可得,  当亦不可得。  生死流转中,  处所无有边,  今亦不可得,  当亦不可得。  生死中多睡,  处所无有边,  今亦不可得,  当亦不可得。  令此身受乐,  处所无有边,  今亦不可得,  当亦不可得。  令此身受苦,  处所无有边,  今亦不可得,  当亦不可得。  养育于此身,  处所无有边,  今亦不可得,  当亦不可得。  此身起我所,  处所无有边,  今亦不可得,  当亦不可得。  爱欲等流转,  处所无有边,  今亦不可得,  当亦不可得。  如无实无物,  颠倒常欺诳,  痴惑诸有为,  如是诳痴世。 现代汉语译本 深思熟虑,却没有真实的身体存在其中, 愚痴就像美味一样被贪恋着。 这个身体每天都在变化, 需要用饮食来买赎维持, 它既不为自己,也不为他人, 只是虚妄地承受疲倦。 常常在享受快乐的时候, 也不懂得感恩, 没有感恩之心,身体又如此羸弱, 应该尽快舍弃它。 在生死轮回中承受的痛苦, 地方没有边际, 过去不可得, 未来也不可得。 在生死轮回中饮下的水, 地方没有边际, 过去不可得, 未来也不可得。 在生死轮回中享受的戏乐, 地方没有边际, 过去不可得, 未来也不可得。 在生死轮回中感受的喜悦, 地方没有边际, 过去不可得, 未来也不可得。 承事这个身体, 地方没有边际, 过去不可得, 未来也不可得。 在生死流转之中, 地方没有边际, 过去不可得, 未来也不可得。 在生死轮回中沉睡, 地方没有边际, 过去不可得, 未来也不可得。 为了让这个身体享受快乐, 地方没有边际, 过去不可得, 未来也不可得。 为了让这个身体承受痛苦, 地方没有边际, 过去不可得, 未来也不可得。 养育这个身体, 地方没有边际, 过去不可得, 未来也不可得。 这个身体产生‘我所’(认为身体是属于我的), 地方没有边际, 过去不可得, 未来也不可得。 爱欲等烦恼不断流转, 地方没有边际, 过去不可得, 未来也不可得。 就像没有真实的事物一样, 颠倒的认知常常欺骗我们, 愚痴迷惑了所有有为法(saṃskṛta,有条件的事物), 世界就是这样被愚痴所欺骗。
