网明言:“今仁者得平等智慧,云何说智慧有量?”   答言:“善男子!以法性相故,智慧无量;随入法性多少故,智慧有量。”   网明言:“无量法终不作有量。仁者何故说智慧有量?”即时,舍利弗默然不答。   (丹尔时上有菩萨光明品第九)◎尔时长老大迦叶承佛圣旨,白佛言:“世尊!是网明菩萨以何因缘号网明乎?”   佛告网明:“善男子!现汝福报光明因缘,令诸天、人一切世间皆得欢喜,其有福德因缘者当发菩提心。”   于是网明即受佛教,偏袒右肩,从右手赤白庄严抓指间放大光明,普照十方无量无边阿僧祇佛国皆悉通达。其中地狱、畜生、饿鬼、盲聋喑哑、手足拘癖、老病苦痛、贪欲瞋恚、愚痴裸形、丑陋贫穷、饥渴囹圄、系闭困厄、垂死悭贪、破戒瞋恚、懈怠妄念无慧、少于闻见、无惭无愧、堕邪疑网,如是等众生,遇斯光者皆得快乐,无有众生为贪欲、瞋恚、愚痴、憍慢、忧愁、怀恨等之所恼也。其在佛前大会之众:菩萨摩诃萨、天、龙、夜叉、乾闼婆等,及比丘、比丘尼、优婆塞、优婆夷众,是诸众生同一金色与 现代汉语译本 网明问:‘智慧是虚妄不实的表现吗?’(戏论相:指虚妄不实的表现) 答:‘不是的。’ 网明问:‘智慧不是平等一如的吗?’ 答:‘是的,是平等一如的。’ 网明问:‘现在您获得了平等智慧,为什么又说智慧有量呢?’ 答:‘善男子!因为法性(法性:诸法实相的体性)的缘故,智慧是无量的;随着对法性领悟的深浅,智慧就显得有量。’ 网明问:‘无量的法终究不会变成有量的。您为什么说智慧有量呢?’当时,舍利弗(舍利弗:佛陀十大弟子之一,以智慧著称)沉默不语,无法回答。 (丹尔时上有菩萨光明品第九)当时,长老摩诃迦叶(大迦叶:佛陀十大弟子之一,以头陀行著称)秉承佛的旨意,对佛说:‘世尊!这位网明菩萨是因为什么因缘而被称为网明呢?’ 佛告诉网明:‘善男子!现在展现你的福报光明因缘,让诸天、人和一切世间都感到欢喜,那些有福德因缘的人应当发起菩提心(菩提心:追求觉悟的心)。’ 于是,网明菩萨立刻接受了佛的教诲,袒露右肩,从右手的赤白庄严的手指间放出大光明,普遍照耀十方无量无边的阿僧祇(阿僧祇:佛教中的一个极大数)佛国,一切都通达无碍。其中地狱、畜生、饿鬼、盲聋喑哑、手足残疾、衰老病痛、贪欲瞋恚、愚痴裸形、丑陋贫穷、饥渴牢狱、囚禁困厄、临死悭吝、破戒瞋恚、懈怠妄念没有智慧、缺少见闻、没有惭愧之心、堕入邪见疑惑之网的众生,遇到这光明都能得到快乐,没有众生再被贪欲、瞋恚、愚痴、骄慢、忧愁、怀恨等等所困扰。那些在佛前参加大会的菩萨摩诃萨(菩萨摩诃萨:发大心的菩萨)、天、龙、夜叉(夜叉:一种鬼神)、乾闼婆(乾闼婆:一种天神)等,以及比丘(比丘:出家男子)、比丘尼(比丘尼:出家女子)、优婆塞(优婆塞:在家男居士)、优婆夷(优婆夷:在家女居士)等,这些众生都变成了一样的金色,与

English version Wang Ming asked: 'Is wisdom an aspect of frivolous talk?' (Xi Lun Xiang: aspect of frivolous talk) The answer was: 'No.' Wang Ming asked: 'Is wisdom not an aspect of equality?' The answer was: 'It is so.' Wang Ming asked: 'Now that you have attained equal wisdom, why do you say that wisdom has measure?' The answer was: 'Good man! Because of the aspect of Dharma-nature (Fa Xing: the nature of all dharmas), wisdom is immeasurable; according to the degree of entry into Dharma-nature, wisdom has measure.' Wang Ming asked: 'Immeasurable Dharma will never become measurable. Why do you say that wisdom has measure?' At that time, Shariputra (Shariputra: one of the Buddha's ten great disciples, known for his wisdom) remained silent and could not answer. (At that time, Chapter Nine of the Bodhisattva Light was present) At that time, the elder Mahakashyapa (Da Jiaye: one of the Buddha's ten great disciples, known for his ascetic practices), receiving the Buddha's decree, said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One! For what reason is this Bodhisattva Wang Ming called Wang Ming?' The Buddha told Wang Ming: 'Good man! Now reveal the cause and condition of your blessed light, so that all gods, humans, and all the world may rejoice, and those who have the cause and condition of merit should arouse the Bodhi mind (Pu Ti Xin: the mind seeking enlightenment).' Then, Bodhisattva Wang Ming immediately received the Buddha's teaching, bared his right shoulder, and emitted great light from the fingers of his right hand, which were adorned with red and white, universally illuminating the immeasurable and boundless Asamkhya (A Seng Qi: an extremely large number in Buddhism) Buddha-lands in the ten directions, and everything was unobstructed. Among them, the beings in hells, animals, hungry ghosts, the blind, deaf, and mute, those with crippled hands and feet, the old and sick, those suffering from greed, hatred, and ignorance, those naked and foolish, the ugly and poor, those hungry and thirsty in prisons, those imprisoned and in distress, those dying and stingy, those who have broken precepts and are full of hatred, those lazy and with deluded thoughts without wisdom, those with little hearing and seeing, those without shame or remorse, those fallen into the net of wrong views and doubts, all such beings, upon encountering this light, all attain happiness, and no beings are troubled by greed, hatred, ignorance, arrogance, sorrow, resentment, and so on. Those in the assembly before the Buddha: Bodhisattva-Mahasattvas (Pu Sa Mo He Sa: Bodhisattvas with great aspiration), gods, dragons, Yakshas (Ye Cha: a type of ghost), Gandharvas (Qian Ta Po: a type of celestial being), etc., as well as Bhikshus (Bi Qiu: ordained monks), Bhikshunis (Bi Qiuni: ordained nuns), Upasakas (You Po Se: lay male devotees), Upasikas (You Po Yi: lay female devotees), etc., all these beings became the same golden color, and with --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

佛无异,有三十二相、八十随形好、无见顶者,皆坐宝莲华座,宝交络盖罗覆其上,等无差别。诸会众生皆得快乐,譬如菩萨入发喜庄严三昧。时诸大众得未曾有,各各相见如佛无异;不见佛身为大,己身为小。   又以光明力故,寻时下方有四菩萨从地踊出,合掌而立,欲共礼佛,作是念言:“何者真佛?我欲礼敬。”   即闻空中声曰:“是网明菩萨光明之力,一切大众同一金色,与佛无异。”   时四菩萨发希有心,作如是言:“今此众会其色无异,一切诸法亦复如是。若我此言诚实无虚,世尊释迦牟尼当现异相,令我今得供养礼事。”   即时佛以莲华宝师子座,上升虚空高一多罗树。于是四菩萨头面礼佛足,作如是言:“如来智慧不可思议,网明菩萨福德本愿亦不可思议,能放如是无量光明。”   尔时佛告网明菩萨言:“善男子!汝今已作佛事,令无量众生住于佛道,可摄光明。”于是网明即受佛教,还摄光明。摄光明已,此诸大众威仪色相还复如故,见佛坐本师子座上。   尔时长老大迦叶白佛言:“世尊!此四菩萨从何所来?”   四菩萨言:“我等从下方世界来。”   迦叶言:“其国何名?佛号何等?”   四菩萨言:“国名现诸宝庄严,佛号一宝盖,今 现代汉语译本: 佛没有区别,都有三十二相、八十随形好、无见顶相,都坐在宝莲华座上,用珍宝交织的网覆盖在上面,完全没有差别。所有集会的大众都感到快乐,就像菩萨进入发喜庄严三昧(一种禅定状态)一样。当时,所有大众都感到前所未有,彼此相见都像佛一样没有区别;不觉得佛的身形巨大,自己的身形渺小。 又因为光明力量的缘故,随即下方有四位菩萨从地里涌出,合掌站立,想要一起礼拜佛,心里想着:‘哪一位是真佛?我想要礼敬。’ 立刻听到空中有声音说:‘这是网明菩萨(Net Light Bodhisattva)的光明力量,一切大众都呈现同一种金色,和佛没有区别。’ 当时,四位菩萨生起稀有的心,这样说道:‘现在这个集会里,所有人的颜色都没有区别,一切诸法也是这样。如果我说的这些话真实不虚,世尊释迦牟尼(Sakyamuni)应当显现特殊的相,让我现在能够供养礼拜。’ 立刻,佛用莲华宝师子座,上升到虚空中,高度超过一多罗树(tala tree)。于是,四位菩萨头面顶礼佛足,这样说道:‘如来的智慧不可思议,网明菩萨的福德本愿也不可思议,能够放出这样无量的光明。’ 这时,佛告诉网明菩萨说:‘善男子!你现在已经做了佛事,让无量众生安住在佛道上,可以收回光明了。’于是,网明菩萨立刻接受佛的教导,收回光明。收回光明后,这些大众的威仪色相恢复如初,看见佛坐在原来的师子座上。 这时,长老大迦叶(Mahakasyapa)问佛说:‘世尊!这四位菩萨是从哪里来的?’ 四位菩萨说:‘我们从下方的世界而来。’ 迦叶问:‘那个国家叫什么名字?佛号是什么?’ 四位菩萨说:‘国家名叫现诸宝庄严,佛号一宝盖,现在……’

English version: The Buddhas are not different; all possess the thirty-two major marks, the eighty minor marks, and the invisible crown protuberance. They all sit upon jeweled lotus thrones, covered above by canopies of interwoven jewels, without any distinction. All beings in the assembly experience joy, like Bodhisattvas entering the Samadhi (state of meditative consciousness) of Joyful Adornment. At that time, all the assembly felt unprecedented joy, seeing each other as no different from the Buddha; not perceiving the Buddha's form as large and their own forms as small. Moreover, due to the power of light, immediately four Bodhisattvas emerged from the earth below, standing with palms joined, desiring to pay homage to the Buddha, thinking, 'Which is the true Buddha? I wish to revere and worship.' Immediately, a voice was heard in the sky saying, 'This is the power of the light of Net Light Bodhisattva (Wangming Pusa). All the assembly appears the same golden color, no different from the Buddha.' At that time, the four Bodhisattvas generated a rare and precious mind, saying, 'Now in this assembly, all colors are without difference, and all dharmas (teachings) are likewise. If these words of mine are true and without falsehood, may the World Honored One, Sakyamuni (Shijia Muni), manifest a special sign, so that I may now be able to make offerings and pay homage.' Immediately, the Buddha, using a lotus jeweled lion throne, ascended into the empty sky to a height exceeding a tala tree. Thereupon, the four Bodhisattvas bowed their heads and paid homage at the Buddha's feet, saying, 'The Tathagata's (Thus Come One's) wisdom is inconceivable, and the fundamental vows of merit and virtue of Net Light Bodhisattva are also inconceivable, able to emit such immeasurable light.' At that time, the Buddha said to Net Light Bodhisattva, 'Good son! You have now performed Buddha-work, enabling immeasurable beings to abide in the Buddha-path. You may withdraw your light.' Thereupon, Net Light Bodhisattva immediately received the Buddha's teaching and withdrew his light. After the light was withdrawn, the dignified appearances of the assembly returned to their original state, and they saw the Buddha sitting on his original lion throne. At that time, the Elder Mahakasyapa (Da Jiaye) said to the Buddha, 'World Honored One! From where did these four Bodhisattvas come?' The four Bodhisattvas said, 'We come from the world below.' Kasyapa asked, 'What is the name of that country? What is the Buddha's name?' The four Bodhisattvas said, 'The country is named Manifesting All Jeweled Adornments, and the Buddha is named One Jeweled Canopy, now...' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 现说法。”   大迦叶言:“其佛国土去此几何?”   四菩萨言:“佛自知之。”   大迦叶言:“汝等何故来此?”

四菩萨言:“是网明菩萨光明照彼我等,遇之,即闻释迦牟尼佛名及网明菩萨,是故我等今来见佛并网明上人。”   大迦叶白佛言:“世尊!一宝盖佛现诸宝庄严世界,去此几何?”   佛言:“去此七十二恒河沙佛土。”   大迦叶言:“世尊!是四菩萨从彼发来,几时至此?”   佛言:“如一念顷,于彼不现忽然而至。”   大迦叶言:“世尊!此诸菩萨光明远照,神通速疾甚为希有!今是网明菩萨光明远照,是四菩萨发来速疾。”   佛言迦叶:“如汝所说,菩萨摩诃萨所行不可思议,一切声闻、辟支佛所不能及。”   尔时长老大迦叶谓网明菩萨言:“善男子!汝现光明照此大会,皆作金色,以何因缘?”   网明言:“长老大迦叶!可问世尊,当为汝说!”即时大迦叶以此白佛。   佛言:“迦叶!是网明菩萨成佛时,其会大众同一金色,咸共信乐一切智慧。其佛国土乃至无声闻、辟支佛名,唯有清净诸菩萨摩诃萨会。”   大迦叶白佛言:“世尊!生彼菩萨当知如佛。”   佛言:“如汝所说,生彼菩萨当知如 现代汉语译本: 现在说法。' 大迦叶(Mahākāśyapa,佛陀十大弟子之一)问:'那个佛的国土距离这里有多远?' 四位菩萨说:'佛自己知道。' 大迦叶问:'你们因为什么原因来到这里?' 四位菩萨说:'是网明菩萨(Jālinīprabha Bodhisattva)的光明照耀到我们,遇到这光明,我们便听闻了释迦牟尼佛(Śākyamuni Buddha)的名号以及网明菩萨的名号,因此我们现在前来拜见佛以及网明上人。' 大迦叶对佛说:'世尊!一宝盖佛(Eka-ratna-chatra Buddha)显现出各种宝物庄严的世界,距离这里有多远?' 佛说:'距离这里七十二恒河沙(seventy-two Ganges sands)个佛土。' 大迦叶问:'世尊!这四位菩萨从那个佛土出发,多久到达这里?' 佛说:'就像一念之间,在那个佛土不显现,忽然就到达了这里。' 大迦叶说:'世尊!这些菩萨的光明照耀遥远,神通迅速,真是非常稀有!现在是网明菩萨的光明照耀遥远,这四位菩萨出发前来如此迅速。' 佛告诉迦叶:'正如你所说,菩萨摩诃萨(Bodhisattva-mahāsattva,大菩萨)所行的境界不可思议,一切声闻(Śrāvaka,小乘弟子)、辟支佛(Pratyekabuddha,缘觉)都无法达到。' 这时,长老大迦叶对网明菩萨说:'善男子!你显现光明照耀这个大会,都变成金色,是因为什么因缘?' 网明菩萨说:'长老大迦叶!可以问世尊,他会为你解说!' 随即大迦叶将此事禀告佛。 佛说:'迦叶!这位网明菩萨成佛时,他的集会大众都呈现同一种金色,都共同信奉和喜乐一切智慧。他的佛国土甚至没有声闻、辟支佛的名字,只有清净的诸菩萨摩诃萨的集会。' 大迦叶对佛说:'世尊!生在那里的菩萨应当知道如同佛一样。' 佛说:'正如你所说,生在那里的菩萨应当知道如同佛一样。'

English version: Now speaking the Dharma.' Mahākāśyapa (one of the ten great disciples of the Buddha) said, 'How far is that Buddha-land from here?' The four Bodhisattvas said, 'The Buddha knows it himself.' Mahākāśyapa said, 'Why have you come here?' The four Bodhisattvas said, 'It is the light of Jālinīprabha Bodhisattva that shines upon us. Encountering it, we immediately heard the name of Śākyamuni Buddha and Jālinīprabha Bodhisattva. Therefore, we have now come to see the Buddha and the venerable Jālinīprabha.' Mahākāśyapa said to the Buddha, 'World-Honored One! How far is the world adorned with various treasures manifested by Eka-ratna-chatra Buddha from here?' The Buddha said, 'It is seventy-two Ganges sands of Buddha-lands away from here.' Mahākāśyapa asked, 'World-Honored One! How long did it take for these four Bodhisattvas to arrive here from that land?' The Buddha said, 'It was like a single thought; they suddenly arrived here without appearing in that land.' Mahākāśyapa said, 'World-Honored One! The light of these Bodhisattvas shines far and wide, and their supernatural powers are swift and rare! Now, the light of Jālinīprabha Bodhisattva shines far and wide, and these four Bodhisattvas have come swiftly.' The Buddha told Kāśyapa, 'As you say, the conduct of Bodhisattva-mahāsattvas is inconceivable, beyond the reach of all Śrāvakas and Pratyekabuddhas.' At that time, the elder Mahākāśyapa said to Jālinīprabha Bodhisattva, 'Good man! You manifest light that illuminates this assembly, turning it all golden. What is the cause and condition for this?' Jālinīprabha Bodhisattva said, 'Elder Mahākāśyapa! You may ask the World-Honored One, and he will explain it to you!' Immediately, Mahākāśyapa reported this to the Buddha. The Buddha said, 'Kāśyapa! When this Jālinīprabha Bodhisattva attains Buddhahood, the assembly will be of the same golden color, and all will commonly believe in and rejoice in all wisdom. In his Buddha-land, there will not even be the names of Śrāvakas or Pratyekabuddhas, only the assembly of pure Bodhisattva-mahāsattvas.' Mahākāśyapa said to the Buddha, 'World-Honored One! The Bodhisattvas born there should be known to be like the Buddha.' The Buddha said, 'As you say, the Bodhisattvas born there should be known to be like the Buddha.' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 佛。”
