You are able to hold these questions in mind and ask the Tathagata, arousing the Bodhi-mind to liberate beings from the cycle of birth and death. Listen carefully, receive well! I will explain the meaning to you, exceeding what you have asked, so that you may quickly attain these merits.’ Thereupon, the heavenly son received the teaching and listened attentively. The Buddha said to the heavenly son, ‘A Bodhisattva has four practices by which they attain unwavering faith and aspire to the Mahayana. What are the four? First, entering into wisdom with skillful means without wavering; second, abiding in unobstructed loving-kindness by establishing great compassion; third, being able to answer questions by understanding the meaning of the Dharma; fourth, attaining supernatural powers by standing on the right path, clearly knowing everything. These are the four practices by which a Bodhisattva attains unwavering faith and aspires to the Mahayana.’ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 志大乘。” 佛尔时歌颂而言： “坚住于权方便， 已见慧智无底， 普弘广行大哀， 慈护人常得脱， 得义法善方便， 应所报无踬碍， 神通达道化之， 以得是无能坏。

“复次，天子！菩萨有四事行，所作坚强，得不怯弱。何等为四？一者，精进不转；二者，身所行净及净他人；三者，其意纯淑，得至于道；四者，不厌惓于佛法而得成就。是为四事，菩萨所作坚强，得不怯弱。” 佛尔时歌颂曰： “得坚住于精进， 立中正无两际， 常清净无垢浊， 身意行口亦尔， 所作为常纯淑， 以是故乘佛义， 于请益不厌惓， 常思念于佛法。 此四事法之上， 是则为微妙持， 若有坚住法者， 便当得道行径， 于内外皆已了， 悉逮得道之节， 在于此三处中， 为法王今不久。 “复次，天子！菩萨有四事法，得无能及最禑之福。何等为四事？一者，以般若波罗蜜广教授诸菩萨；二者，未发道心者而劝一切令发道意；三者，常行三品愿：一戒、二智慧、三平等，应是事者所作功德而无恚怒；四者，心念于道而无懈怠。是为四事，菩萨得无能及最禑之福。” 佛尔时歌颂言： “用智慧度无极， 教导于解黠 现代汉语译本： ‘立志于大乘（Mahayana）。’ 佛陀当时歌颂说： ‘坚定安住于权巧方便，已然彻见智慧的无底深渊，普遍弘扬广大的慈悲行为，以慈爱护佑众生常得解脱，获得义理正法和善巧方便，对于所应报答者毫无滞碍，以神通力通达真理并教化他们，因此所获得的境界是无法摧毁的。 ‘再者，天子！菩萨有四种行为，所作所为坚定刚强，从而获得不怯懦的品质。是哪四种呢？一是，精进修行永不退转；二是，自身所行清净，并且使他人也清净；三是，其心意纯正善良，最终达到真理；四是，对于佛法永不厌倦而最终获得成就。这就是四种行为，菩萨所作所为坚定刚强，从而获得不怯懦的品质。’ 佛陀当时歌颂说： ‘获得坚定不移的精进，立身中正不落两边，恒常清净没有垢染，身、意、行、口都是如此，所作所为恒常纯正善良，因此能够乘载佛法的真义，对于请教佛法永不厌倦，恒常思念佛法。 这四种法之上，是为微妙的坚持，若有人能坚定安住于这些法，便能获得通往真理的道路，对于内外一切都已明了，完全获得真理的要领，处于这三种境界之中，成为法王指日可待。 ‘再者，天子！菩萨有四种法，能够获得无与伦比、最为殊胜的福报。是哪四种法？一是，以般若波罗蜜（Prajna-paramita，智慧到彼岸）广泛教授诸位菩萨；二是，对于尚未发起道心的人，劝导一切众生发起求道的意愿；三是，恒常奉行三种品德的誓愿：一是戒律，二是智慧，三是平等，对于应做之事所产生的功德没有嗔恨和愤怒；四是，心中常念真理而没有懈怠。这就是四种法，菩萨能够获得无与伦比、最为殊胜的福报。’ 佛陀当时歌颂说： ‘运用智慧度过无边无际的生死苦海，教导那些聪慧敏捷之人’
