所住处——聚落、村邑、山林、旷野、塔寺、僧坊、经行之处——诸魔、外道、贪着之人不能侵娆。世尊！若人多供养过去诸佛，乃能得闻如是经典。世尊！我等于此经中得智慧光明，而不能得报佛及文殊师利、思益梵天之恩。世尊！我等所从闻经，于是法师生世尊想；我等常当随侍说是经者，此善男子常为诸天之所拥护。若人书写是经，读诵、解说时，无量诸天为听法故来至其所。”◎ 咏德品第十三(丹无此品名) ◎尔时世尊赞释、梵、四天王等大众言：“善哉，善哉！如汝所说，若三千大千世界满中珍宝以为一分，闻是经者所得功德以为一分，福胜于彼。置是三千大千世界，若恒河沙等十方世界满中珍宝，闻是经者所得功德复胜于彼。诸善男子！若欲得功德者当听是经，欲得身色端正，欲得财富，欲得眷属，欲得自在，欲得具足天乐人乐，欲得名称，欲得多闻、忆念坚固、正行威仪、戒定智慧、解达经书，欲得善知识，欲得三明六通，欲得一切善法，欲得阿耨多罗三藐三菩提，欲得与一切众生乐具，欲得涅槃者，当听是经，受持、读诵，如法修行，广为人说。诸善男子！若行是经者，我不见其人不得如此具足快乐。 “诸善男子！我今语汝，若人所从闻是经处，若和上、若阿阇梨，我不见 现代汉语译本：所居住的地方——无论是聚落、村庄、山林、旷野、佛塔寺庙、僧人的住所、还是经行的地方——都不会被各种魔、外道、以及心怀贪念的人侵扰。世尊（对佛的尊称）！如果有人曾经供养过很多过去的佛，才能有幸听闻这样的经典。世尊！我们从这部经中获得了智慧的光明，却无法报答佛以及文殊师利（Manjusri，菩萨名）、思益梵天（Vrahma Sri，护法神名）的恩情。世尊！我们从法师那里听闻此经，应当视这位法师如同世尊一般；我们应当经常侍奉讲说这部经的人，这位善男子常常会得到诸天的拥护。如果有人书写这部经，读诵、解说的时候，无数的天人为了听法会来到他的住所。” 咏德品第十三（有些版本没有此品名） 这时，世尊赞叹释（Sakra，帝释天）、梵（Brahma，大梵天）、四天王（Four Heavenly Kings，四大天王）等大众说：“说得好，说得好！正如你们所说，如果将三千大千世界装满珍宝作为一份，听闻这部经的人所得到的功德作为一份，听闻经的功德胜过前者。就算把像恒河沙一样多的十方世界装满珍宝，听闻这部经的人所得到的功德还是胜过前者。各位善男子！如果想要获得功德，就应当听闻这部经；想要获得端正的容貌，想要获得财富，想要获得眷属，想要获得自在，想要获得具足的天乐人乐，想要获得名声，想要获得广博的知识、坚固的记忆力、端正的品行威仪、戒律、禅定、智慧、通达经书的能力，想要获得善知识，想要获得三明六通，想要获得一切善法，想要获得阿耨多罗三藐三菩提（Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi，无上正等正觉），想要给予一切众生快乐，想要获得涅槃（Nirvana，寂灭），就应当听闻这部经，受持、读诵，如法修行，广泛地为人解说。各位善男子！如果有人奉行这部经，我没有见过他不能获得如此具足的快乐。 “各位善男子！我现在告诉你们，如果有人从和尚（Upadhyaya，亲教师）、阿阇梨（Acarya，导师）那里听闻这部经，我不认为

English version: The place where one dwells—be it a settlement, village, mountain forest, wilderness, pagoda temple, monastery, or place of walking meditation—will not be disturbed by various demons, heretics, or those with greedy attachments. World-Honored One (a title for the Buddha)! Only those who have made offerings to many Buddhas in the past are able to hear such a scripture. World-Honored One! We have obtained the light of wisdom from this scripture, but we are unable to repay the kindness of the Buddha, Manjusri (Manjusri, a Bodhisattva), and Vrahma Sri (Brahma Sri, a Dharma protector). World-Honored One! We should regard the Dharma master from whom we hear this scripture as the World-Honored One; we should always attend to those who expound this scripture, for this good man will always be protected by the devas (devas, gods). If someone writes this scripture, recites it, and explains it, countless devas will come to his dwelling to hear the Dharma.” Chapter Thirteen on Praising Virtue (Some versions do not have this chapter title) At that time, the World-Honored One praised Sakra (Sakra, the lord of the devas), Brahma (Brahma, the creator god), the Four Heavenly Kings (Four Heavenly Kings, the guardians of the four directions), and the assembly, saying: 'Excellent, excellent! As you have said, if the three thousand great thousand worlds were filled with treasures as one part, and the merit obtained by hearing this scripture as another part, the merit of hearing the scripture surpasses the former. Even if the ten directions of worlds as numerous as the sands of the Ganges River were filled with treasures, the merit obtained by hearing this scripture still surpasses the former. Good men! If you wish to obtain merit, you should listen to this scripture; if you wish to obtain a handsome appearance, if you wish to obtain wealth, if you wish to obtain family, if you wish to obtain freedom, if you wish to obtain complete heavenly and human bliss, if you wish to obtain fame, if you wish to obtain vast knowledge, firm memory, upright conduct and demeanor, precepts, samadhi (samadhi, concentration), wisdom, the ability to understand scriptures, if you wish to obtain good teachers, if you wish to obtain the three insights and six supernatural powers, if you wish to obtain all good dharmas, if you wish to obtain Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi (Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi, unsurpassed perfect enlightenment), if you wish to give all beings the means of happiness, if you wish to obtain Nirvana (Nirvana, liberation), you should listen to this scripture, uphold it, recite it, practice it according to the Dharma, and widely explain it to others. Good men! If someone practices this scripture, I have not seen anyone who cannot obtain such complete happiness.' 'Good men! I now tell you, if someone hears this scripture from an Upadhyaya (Upadhyaya, preceptor) or Acarya (Acarya, teacher), I do not think --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

乘；是名除舍颠倒；是名至于平等；是名入于法位；是名安住道场；是名破坏诸魔；是名转于法轮。诸善男子！我若一劫、若减一劫，称扬、赞叹说是如说修行功德不可穷尽，如来之辩亦不可尽。”◎ 等行品第十四(丹无此品名) ◎尔时会中有天子，名不退转，白佛言：“世尊！所说随法行，随法行者为何谓耶？”佛告天子：“随法行者，不行一切法。所以者何？若不行诸法，则不分别是正是邪。如是行者则不行善、不行不善，不行有漏、不行无漏，不行世间、不行出世间，不行有为、不行无为，不行生死、不行涅槃，是名随法行；若起法相者，是则不名随法行也。若念言：‘我行是法。’是则戏论、不随法行；若不受一切法，则随法行；于一切法无忆念、无分别、无所行，是名随法行。” 尔时不退转天子白佛言：“世尊！若能如是随法行者，是人毕竟不复邪行。所以者何？正行者名为毕竟。住邪道者无随法行，住正道者有随法行。世尊！行正行者，无有邪法。所以者何？诸法平等无差别故。” 尔时思益梵天谓不退转天子：“汝于此中随法行不？” 答言：“若世尊所说法中有二相者，我当行随法行；今以无二相是随法行，于中行者及所行法俱不可得。梵天！我以不二法行随 现代汉语译本：这就是所谓的去除颠倒，这就是所谓的达到平等，这就是所谓的进入法位，这就是所谓的安住道场，这就是所谓的破坏诸魔，这就是所谓的转动法轮。各位善男子！我即使用一劫或者减少一劫的时间，来称扬、赞叹这种如所说而修行的功德，也是不可穷尽的，如来的辩才也是不可穷尽的。’ 等行品第十四 这时，法会中有一位天子，名叫不退转（Avivartaniya，不退转），向佛陀说道：‘世尊！您所说的随法行，随法行指的是什么呢？’佛陀告诉不退转天子：‘随法行的人，不执着于任何法。为什么呢？如果不执着于诸法，就不会分别什么是正确，什么是邪恶。这样修行的人，既不执着于善，也不执着于不善；既不执着于有漏法，也不执着于无漏法；既不执着于世间法，也不执着于出世间法；既不执着于有为法，也不执着于无为法；既不执着于生死，也不执着于涅槃，这叫做随法行。如果生起对法的执着，那就不能称为随法行了。如果念想：‘我正在修行这个法。’这就是戏论，不是随法行；如果不接受任何法，那就是随法行；对于一切法没有忆念、没有分别、没有执着，这叫做随法行。’ 这时，不退转天子对佛陀说道：‘世尊！如果能够这样随法行的人，这个人最终不会再有邪行。为什么呢？正行就叫做最终。住在邪道上的人没有随法行，住在正道上的人才有随法行。世尊！行正行的人，不会有邪法。为什么呢？因为诸法平等，没有差别。’ 这时，思益梵天（Srimati-brahman，思益梵天）问不退转天子：‘你在这里随法行吗？’ 不退转天子回答说：‘如果世尊所说的法中有二相，我才应当行随法行；现在因为没有二相才是随法行，在其中修行的人和所修行的法都不可得。梵天！我以不二法行随法行。’
