English version 'Faith and understanding are undefiled dharmas.' 'Bhagavan (世尊,Buddha)! What does it mean for a Bodhisattva to dwell in emptiness?' The Buddha said, 'Not being attached to any language.' 'Bhagavan (世尊,Buddha)! What does it mean for a Bodhisattva to be called conscientious?' The Buddha said, 'Knowing and seeing the inner dharmas.' 'Bhagavan (世尊,Buddha)! What does it mean for a Bodhisattva to be called ashamed?' The Buddha said, 'Relinquishing outer dharmas.' 'Bhagavan (世尊,Buddha)! What does it mean for a Bodhisattva to be called all-pervading conduct?' The Buddha said, 'Being able to purify the karma of body, speech, and mind.' At that time, the Bhagavan (世尊,Buddha) spoke in verse: 'If the body is pure and without evil, and the speech is pure, always speaking truthfully, The mind is pure, always practicing loving-kindness, this is the Bodhisattva's all-pervading conduct. Practicing loving-kindness without attachment, observing impurity without hatred, Practicing giving without delusion, this is the Bodhisattva's all-pervading conduct. Whether in gatherings or empty fields, or in places with large crowds, Demeanor is never lacking, this is the Bodhisattva's all-pervading conduct. Knowing the Dharma is called Buddha (佛,Buddha), knowing detachment is called Dharma (法,Dharma), Knowing non-being is called Sangha (僧,Sangha), this is the Bodhisattva's all-pervading conduct. Knowing the conduct of much desire, knowing the conduct of anger and delusion, Skillfully knowing how to transform this conduct, this is the Bodhisattva's all-pervading conduct. Not relying on the desire realm, not dwelling in the form or formless realms, Practicing such samadhi, this is the Bodhisattva's all-pervading conduct. Believing and understanding that all dharmas are empty, and without characteristics and without action, Yet not exhausting all outflows, this is the Bodhisattva's all-pervading conduct. Skillfully knowing the Sravaka Vehicle, and the Pratyekabuddha Vehicle, Thoroughly understanding the Buddha Vehicle, this is the Bodhisattva's all-pervading conduct. Clearly understanding all dharmas, not doubting the path or non-path, Having no difference between love and hate, this is the Bodhisattva's all-pervading conduct. In the past, future, and present worlds, Making no distinctions whatsoever, this is the Bodhisattva's all-pervading conduct.' (Hereafter, the Dan version is the fourth chapter, 'Bodhisattva Exceeding the World') --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

◎尔时思益梵天白佛言:“世尊!何谓菩萨过世间法?通达世间法?通达世间法已,度众生?于世间法行于世间,而不坏世间?”   尔时世尊以偈答言: “说五阴是世,  世间所依止,  依止于五阴,  不脱世间法。  菩萨有智慧,  知世间实相,  所谓五阴如,  世间法不染。  利衰及毁誉,  称讥与苦乐,  如此之八法,  常牵于世间。  大智慧菩萨,  散灭世间法,  见世坏败相,  处之而不动。  得利心不高,  失利心不下,  其心坚不动,  譬如须弥山。  利衰及毁誉,  称讥与苦乐,  于此世八法,  其心常平等。  知世间虚妄,  皆从颠倒起,  如是之人等,  不行世间道。  世间所有道,  菩萨皆识知,  故能于世间,  度众生苦恼。  虽行于世间,  如莲华不染,  亦不坏世间,  通达法性故。  世间行世间,  不知是世间,  菩萨行世间,  明了世间相。  世间虚空相,  虚空亦无相,  菩萨知如是,  不染于世间。  如所知世间,  随知而演说,  知世间性故,  亦不坏世间。  五阴无自性,  是即世间性,  若人不知是,  常住于世间。  若见知五阴,  无生亦 现代汉语译本 ◎ 尔时,思益梵天(Vimalakīrti Brahmā)对佛说:‘世尊!什么叫做菩萨超越世间法?通达世间法?通达世间法之后,度化众生?在世间法中修行,处于世间,却不被世间所染污?’ 尔时,世尊用偈颂回答: ‘说五阴(pañca-skandha)是世间,世间所依赖的根本, 依止于五阴,就无法脱离世间法。 菩萨具有智慧,了解世间的真实相状, 所谓五阴的如如(tathatā),因此不被世间法所染污。 利得和衰损,诽谤和赞誉, 称扬和讥讽,痛苦和快乐, 这八种法,常常牵动着世间。 具有大智慧的菩萨,能够消散世间法, 看清世间的坏败之相,处于其中却不动摇。 得到利益时内心不骄傲,失去利益时内心不沮丧, 他的心坚固不动摇,就像须弥山(Sumeru)一样。 利得和衰损,诽谤和赞誉, 称扬和讥讽,痛苦和快乐, 对于这世间的八法,他的心常常保持平等。 知道世间是虚妄的,都是从颠倒妄想产生的, 像这样的人,不会走世间的道路。 世间所有的道路,菩萨都清楚地知道, 所以能够在世间,度化众生的苦恼。 虽然行走在世间,就像莲花一样不被污染, 也不会破坏世间,因为通达了法性(dharma-dhātu)。 世间人在世间行走,却不知道什么是世间, 菩萨在世间行走,却明了世间的真相。 世间是虚空的相状,虚空也是没有相状的, 菩萨知道这些,就不会被世间所染污。 如同所了解的世间,随着所了解的而演说, 因为知道世间的本性,所以也不会破坏世间。 五阴没有自性,这就是世间的本性, 如果有人不了解这一点,就会常常住在世间。 如果能够了知五阴,没有生起也没有'

English version ◎ Then, Vimalakīrti Brahmā (思益梵天) said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One! What is meant by a Bodhisattva transcending worldly dharmas? Understanding worldly dharmas? After understanding worldly dharmas, liberating sentient beings? Practicing worldly dharmas, being in the world, yet not being corrupted by the world?' At that time, the World Honored One answered in verse: 'Saying the five skandhas (五阴) are the world, the basis upon which the world relies, Relying on the five skandhas, one cannot escape worldly dharmas. Bodhisattvas possess wisdom, knowing the true nature of the world, So-called suchness (tathatā) of the five skandhas, thus not being tainted by worldly dharmas. Gain and loss, defamation and praise, Acclaim and ridicule, suffering and joy, These eight dharmas constantly pull at the world. Bodhisattvas with great wisdom can scatter worldly dharmas, Seeing the aspect of the world's decay and ruin, remaining unmoved within it. Not elated when gaining, not dejected when losing, Their mind is firm and unmoving, like Mount Sumeru (須彌山). Gain and loss, defamation and praise, Acclaim and ridicule, suffering and joy, Towards these eight worldly dharmas, their mind is always equanimous. Knowing the world is illusory, all arising from inverted thoughts, Such people do not walk the path of the world. All the paths of the world, Bodhisattvas know clearly, Therefore, they can liberate sentient beings from suffering in the world. Although walking in the world, like a lotus flower, they are not tainted, Nor do they destroy the world, because they understand the dharma-dhātu (法性). Worldly people walk in the world, yet do not know what the world is, Bodhisattvas walk in the world, clearly understanding the nature of the world. The world is of the nature of emptiness, emptiness is also without nature, Bodhisattvas know this, and are not tainted by the world. As they know the world, they speak according to their understanding, Because they know the nature of the world, they do not destroy the world. The five skandhas have no self-nature, this is the nature of the world, If one does not understand this, they will constantly dwell in the world. If one can know the five skandhas, without arising and without'
