English version The light illuminates all the Bodhisattvas, and upon touching their bodies, they immediately attain the 'non-origination forbearance' (Wu Sheng Fa Ren - profound understanding of the non-arising and non-ceasing of all dharmas); the Buddha's light further illuminates the ten directions, unobstructed, enabling all sentient beings to be liberated from afflictions. Moreover, the light constantly emits thirty-two kinds of pure Dharma sounds. What are these thirty-two? They are what is called: all dharmas are empty, because no sentient being can be seen. All dharmas are without characteristics, because they are free from discrimination. All dharmas are without action, because they transcend the three realms. All dharmas are free from desire, because their nature is quiescent and extinguished. All dharmas are free from anger, because there is no obstruction. All dharmas are free from ignorance, because there is no darkness. All dharmas have no origin, because they are originally unborn. All dharmas have nowhere to go, because there is nowhere to arrive. All dharmas do not abide, because there is nothing to rely on. All dharmas transcend the three times, because the past, future, and present are all non-existent. All dharmas are without difference, because their nature is one. All dharmas are unborn, because they are free from retribution. All dharmas have no karma, because the creator of karmic retribution is unattainable. All dharmas do not act, because there is no arising. All dharmas have no arising, because their nature is unconditioned. All dharmas are unconditioned, because they are free from birth and death. All dharmas are true, because they do not arise from combination. All dharmas are real, because they are the one path. All dharmas have no sentient beings, because sentient beings are unattainable. All dharmas are without self, because they are the ultimate truth. All dharmas are dull, because there is nothing to know. All dharmas are relinquished, because they are free from hatred and love. All dharmas are free from afflictions, because there is no heat. All dharmas are without defilement, because their nature is unpolluted. All dharmas are of one form, because they are free from the boundary of desire. All dharmas are without form, because they are constantly in samadhi. All dharmas abide in reality, because their nature is indestructible. All dharmas are like form, because they do not discriminate. All dharmas enter the Dharma-nature, because they enter everywhere. All dharmas have no conditions, because conditions do not combine. All dharmas are Bodhi (enlightenment), because they are seen as they truly are. All dharmas are Nirvana (extinction), because there are no conditions. Kashyapa (name of Buddha's disciple)! The light of the Tathagata (Buddha's name) Universal Light King of Sovereignty constantly emits such pure Dharma sounds, which can enable all Bodhisattvas to perform Buddha-works. That Buddha's land has no demonic affairs, and the Buddha's lifespan is immeasurable asamkhya kalpas (extremely long units of time).' Mahakashyapa (name of Buddha's disciple) said to the Buddha: 'If someone wants to obtain a pure Buddha-land, they should take the merits cultivated by the Bodhisattva Light-like-a-Net (name of Bodhisattva), and be complete with a pure land.' 'It is so.' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ，迦叶！是网明菩萨于诸无量阿僧祇佛所，随愿修行，功德具足故。” 尔时思益梵天谓网明菩萨：“仁者已得从佛受记。” 网明言：“一切众生皆从佛受记。” 梵天言：“于何事中而得受记？” 网明言：“随业受报而得受记。” 梵天言：“汝作何业而得受记？” 网明言：“若业非身作、非口作、非意作，是业可得示不？” 梵天言：“不可示也。” 网明言：“菩提是起作相耶？” 梵天言：“不也。何以故？菩提是无为，非起作相故。” 网明言：“可以起作相得无为菩提不？” 梵天言：“不也。” “梵天！是故当知，若无业、无业报，无诸行、无起诸行，是名菩提；如菩提性，得亦如是；如得性，受记亦如是，不可以起作法而得受记。” 梵天言：“善男子！汝不行六波罗蜜，然后得受记耶？” 网明言：“如汝所说，菩萨行六波罗蜜而得受记。梵天！若菩萨舍一切烦恼，名为檀波罗蜜。于诸法无所起，名为尸罗波罗蜜。于诸法无所伤，名为羼提波罗蜜。于诸法离相，名为毗梨耶波罗蜜。于诸法无所住，名为禅波罗蜜。于诸法无戏论，名为般若波罗蜜。梵天！菩萨如是行六波罗蜜，于何处行？” { "translations": [ "现代汉语译本：", '‘迦叶（Kasyapa）！这位网明菩萨（Jang-myeong Bodhisattva）在无数阿僧祇（asamkhya）佛所处，随自己的愿望修行，功德圆满具足。’', '', '这时，思益梵天（Siyi Brahma）对网明菩萨说：‘仁者已经得到佛的授记。’', '', '网明菩萨说：‘一切众生都从佛那里得到授记。’', '', '梵天问：‘在什么事情中得到授记？’', '', '网明菩萨说：‘随着业力接受果报而得到授记。’', '', '梵天问：‘你做了什么业而得到授记？’', '', '网明菩萨说：‘如果业不是身体所作、不是口所说、不是意念所想，这样的业可以指出来吗？’', '', '梵天说：‘无法指出来。’', '', '网明菩萨说：‘菩提（Bodhi）是生起造作的相吗？’', '', '梵天说：‘不是的。为什么呢？菩提是无为法，不是生起造作的相。’', '', '网明菩萨说：‘可以用生起造作的相得到无为的菩提吗？’', '', '梵天说：‘不能。’', '', '‘梵天！因此应当知道，如果没有业、没有业报，没有诸行、没有生起诸行，这叫做菩提；如同菩提的自性，证得也像这样；如同证得的自性，授记也像这样，不可以用生起造作的法而得到授记。’', '', '梵天问：‘善男子！你不行六波罗蜜（Six Paramitas），然后得到授记吗？’', '', '网明菩萨说：‘如你所说，菩萨修行六波罗蜜而得到授记。梵天！如果菩萨舍弃一切烦恼，这叫做檀波罗蜜（Dana Paramita，布施波罗蜜）。对于诸法没有生起，这叫做尸罗波罗蜜（Sila Paramita，持戒波罗蜜）。对于诸法没有损害，这叫做羼提波罗蜜（Ksanti Paramita，忍辱波罗蜜）。对于诸法远离相，这叫做毗梨耶波罗蜜（Virya Paramita，精进波罗蜜）。对于诸法没有住着，这叫做禅波罗蜜（Dhyana Paramita，禅定波罗蜜）。对于诸法没有戏论，这叫做般若波罗蜜（Prajna Paramita，智慧波罗蜜）。梵天！菩萨这样修行六波罗蜜，在何处修行呢？’" ], "english_translations": [ "English version:", "'Kasyapa!

梵天言：“无处行也。所以者何？凡所有行皆是不行；若行即是不行，若不行即是行。” “梵天！以是故，当知无所行是菩提。如汝所问：‘汝得受菩提记’者，如如法性得受记，我所受记亦如是。” 梵天言：“善男子！如如法性，无受记。” 网明言：“诸菩萨受记相皆亦如是，如如，如法性。” 尔时思益梵天白佛言：“世尊！菩萨以何行，诸佛授阿耨多罗三藐三菩提记？” 佛言：“若菩萨不行生法、不行灭法，不行善、不行不善，不行世间、不行出世间，不行有罪法、不行无罪法，不行有漏法、不行无漏法，不行有为法、不行无为法，不行修道、不行除断，不行生死、不行涅槃，不行见法、不行闻法、不行觉法、不行知法，不行施、不行舍、不行戒、不行覆、不行忍、不行善、不行发、不行精进、不行禅、不行三昧、不行慧、不行行、不行知、不行得。梵天！若菩萨如是行者，诸佛则授阿耨多罗三藐三菩提记。所以者何？诸所有行，皆是取相；无相、无分别则是菩提。皆有所是；无所是是菩提。诸所有行皆是分别；无分别是菩提。诸所有行皆是起作；无起作是菩提。诸所有行皆是戏论；无戏论是菩提。是故当知，若菩萨过诸所行则得受记。” “唯然世尊！受记 现代汉语译本： 梵天（Brahma）说：‘无处可行。为什么呢？凡是所有的“行”（karma, action）都是“不行”（non-action）；如果“行”就是“不行”，如果“不行”就是“行”。’ ‘梵天！因此，应当知道无所行才是菩提（Bodhi, enlightenment）。正如你所问：‘你得到接受菩提的授记（Vyakarana, prediction of Buddhahood）’，如如法性（Tathata-dharmata, suchness of reality）得到授记，我所接受的授记也是这样。’ 梵天说：‘善男子！如如法性，没有授记。’ 网明（Indrajala）说：‘诸菩萨接受授记的相也是这样，如如，如法性。’ 这时，思益梵天（Visesacintin Brahma）问佛说：‘世尊！菩萨以什么样的“行”，诸佛才授予阿耨多罗三藐三菩提（Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi, unsurpassed perfect enlightenment）的授记？’ 佛说：‘若菩萨不行生法、不行灭法，不行善、不行不善，不行世间、不行出世间，不行有罪法、不行无罪法，不行有漏法、不行无漏法，不行有为法、不行无为法，不行修道、不行除断，不行生死、不行涅槃，不行见法、不行闻法、不行觉法、不行知法，不行施、不行舍、不行戒、不行覆、不行忍、不行善、不行发、不行精进、不行禅、不行三昧、不行慧、不行行、不行知、不行得。梵天！若菩萨如此行者，诸佛则授予阿耨多罗三藐三菩提的授记。为什么呢？诸所有“行”，都是取相（nimitta-graha）；无相、无分别则是菩提。皆有所是；无所是是菩提。诸所有“行”都是分别；无分别是菩提。诸所有“行”都是起作；无起作是菩提。诸所有“行”都是戏论（prapancha）；无戏论是菩提。所以应当知道，若菩萨超越诸所“行”则得到授记。’ ‘是的，世尊！授记’

English version: Brahma said, 'There is nowhere to act. Why is that? All actions are non-actions; if there is action, it is non-action, and if there is non-action, it is action.' 'Brahma! Therefore, you should know that non-action is Bodhi (enlightenment). As you asked, 'You have received the prediction of Bodhi,' just as the suchness of reality (Tathata-dharmata) receives prediction, so is the prediction I have received.' Brahma said, 'Good man! The suchness of reality has no prediction.' Indrajala (Net-light) said, 'The characteristics of the prediction received by all Bodhisattvas are also like this, suchness, the suchness of reality.' At that time, Visesacintin Brahma asked the Buddha, 'World Honored One! By what action do Bodhisattvas receive the prediction of Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi (unsurpassed perfect enlightenment) from all the Buddhas?' The Buddha said, 'If a Bodhisattva does not act on arising dharmas, does not act on ceasing dharmas, does not act on good, does not act on non-good, does not act on the mundane, does not act on the supramundane, does not act on blameworthy dharmas, does not act on blameless dharmas, does not act on defiled dharmas, does not act on undefiled dharmas, does not act on conditioned dharmas, does not act on unconditioned dharmas, does not act on cultivation, does not act on elimination, does not act on birth and death, does not act on Nirvana, does not act on seeing dharmas, does not act on hearing dharmas, does not act on perceiving dharmas, does not act on knowing dharmas, does not act on giving, does not act on renunciation, does not act on precepts, does not act on concealment, does not act on patience, does not act on goodness, does not act on arousal, does not act on diligence, does not act on dhyana, does not act on samadhi, does not act on wisdom, does not act on action, does not act on knowledge, does not act on attainment. Brahma! If a Bodhisattva acts in this way, the Buddhas will bestow the prediction of Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi. Why is that? All actions are grasping at characteristics; non-characteristic and non-discrimination are Bodhi. All actions involve something that 'is'; non-something that 'is' is Bodhi. All actions are discrimination; non-discrimination is Bodhi. All actions are arising and creating; non-arising and non-creating is Bodhi. All actions are proliferation (prapancha); non-proliferation is Bodhi. Therefore, you should know that if a Bodhisattva transcends all actions, they will receive the prediction.' 'Yes, World Honored One! Prediction.' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 者有何义？”
