English version: A Bodhisattva does not obtain freedom. ‘Kinnara King (Kinnara King, name of a celestial being)! What is called a worldly treasure? What is called a supramundane treasure? Kinnara King! A worldly treasure refers to the noble and honored among humans and gods, such as the Indra (Indra, King of the Gods) nobility, the Brahma (Brahma, the Creator God) nobility, the Lokapala (Lokapala, Guardian Deities) nobility, the Chakravartin (Chakravartin, ideal ruler) nobility, the Upasaka (Upasaka, lay practitioner) nobility, the Brahmin (Brahmin, priest) nobility, the Gahapati (Gahapati, wealthy householder) nobility, the Kshatriya (Kshatriya, warrior) nobility. Although they have obtained such noble and honored positions among humans and gods, they do not become complacent. Because of their non-complacency, they can accumulate all the practices that aid Bodhi (Bodhi, enlightenment), this is called a worldly treasure. What is called a supramundane treasure? It is the wisdom of the saints, which is supramundane. Why is this so? Because wisdom completely encompasses supramundane dharmas, therefore entering the gate of Prajna (Prajna, wisdom) is called supramundane.’ ‘Kinnara King! For example, the ocean is the master of all rivers; Mount Sumeru (Mount Sumeru, the divine mountain at the center of the universe) is the king of all mountains; just as the moon is the master of all stars. Like various medicinal herbs and fire jewels, light is the most excellent among them; among all birds and beasts, the lion is the strongest; among all people, the king is the most honored; among the Thirty-three Heavens (Trayastrimsa Heaven), Indra is the most honored; among all Brahma heavens, Brahma is the most honored. In this way, Kinnara King! Among all supramundane dharmas, wisdom is the foremost, therefore it is said that Prajna is the master of all sutras, able to cross over various streams of rebirth, it is a path of peace; it is a torch, illuminating the darkness of bondage; it is courageous, able to remove all hatred; it is a physician king, able to harmonize all medicines; it is a teacher, knowing all books; it is an arrow, able to hit the target of bondage; it is strength, able to completely destroy afflictions; it is an elephant, able to uproot the tree of bondage; it is without contradiction, because all is equal; it is without strife or litigation; it is not rebellious, able to follow well; it is without anger, able to completely exhaust it; it is good at knowing, because it understands the Four Noble Truths (Four Noble Truths); it is mindfulness, because it dwells in the places of right mindfulness; it is upright, able to rightly cut off; it is manifestation, because it has the power of supernatural abilities; it is discipline, able to obstruct the senses; it is subjugation, because it has great power; it is awakening, able to awaken well; it is revelation, able to reveal the right path; it is tranquility, because it has tranquil samadhi; it is’ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

明，作慧明故；是名作明，离障翳故；是至正处，作照明故；是名除断，除结尘故；是无波浪，度诸流故；是不可见，过境界故；是无境界，离内外故。是名为空，离见岸故；是名无相，离觉观故；是名无愿，出三界相故。是名一相，无有相故；是虚空相，无相似故；是害爱慢，离魔业故。施无妄想，不依于戒、不住忍辱、不起精进、不染着禅。无言说门，无一切门，方便自造，无我无众生，度到彼岸，集诸善根，无作无作者，过诸作道。紧那罗王！是则名为出世间宝。诸般若宝，是智慧宝，即是宝住三昧之体。若菩萨得宝住三昧，一切众宝皆悉来集。 “紧那罗王！喻如大海为众流主、集一切宝，一切众宝皆悉来归，于是海中出生诸宝。如是紧那罗王！菩萨得是宝住三昧，为诸一切众生之主、集一切宝，一切法宝皆悉归趣。紧那罗王！宝住三昧能集一切诸法之宝，是中不断于三宝种，是宝住三昧，名为集聚诸法之宝。” 尔时天冠菩萨白言：“世尊！是大树紧那罗王已逮得是宝住三昧耶？” 佛言：“善男子！汝今自问大树紧那罗王！当为汝说。” 时天冠菩萨即问大树紧那罗王：“紧那罗王！汝今已逮得是菩萨宝住三昧耶？” 答言：“善男子！是三昧中无住无得，是三昧中无有 现代汉语译本： 明，是因为能产生智慧光明；这被称为‘作明’，因为它能远离各种障碍和蒙蔽；它是最正直的地方，因为它能产生照明的作用；这被称为‘除断’，因为它能去除烦恼和尘垢；它是没有波浪的，因为它能度过各种烦恼的河流；它是不可见的，因为它超越了各种境界；它是没有境界的，因为它脱离了内外之分。这被称为‘空’，因为它脱离了各种见解的执着；这被称为‘无相’，因为它脱离了各种觉知和观想；这被称为‘无愿’，因为它脱离了三界（欲界、色界、无色界）的束缚。这被称为‘一相’，因为它没有任何具体的相状；它是虚空之相，因为它没有任何相似之处；它能损害爱欲和傲慢，因为它能远离魔的干扰。施舍时没有虚妄的念头，不依赖于戒律，不执着于忍辱，不生起精进的念头，不染着于禅定。它是没有言说的法门，它是没有一切法门的法门，方便法门自然而生，其中没有‘我’和‘众生’的概念，从而度到彼岸，积累各种善根，没有造作和造作者，超越了各种造作的道路。紧那罗王（Kinnara King）！这就是所谓的出世间的珍宝。各种般若（Prajna）的珍宝，是智慧的珍宝，也就是宝住三昧（Ratnagarbha Samadhi）的本体。如果菩萨得到宝住三昧，一切珍宝都会聚集而来。 ‘紧那罗王（Kinnara King）！譬如大海是众河流的主宰，聚集一切珍宝，一切珍宝都归向大海，于是从海中产生各种珍宝。同样，紧那罗王（Kinnara King）！菩萨得到这个宝住三昧（Ratnagarbha Samadhi），就成为一切众生的主宰，聚集一切珍宝，一切法宝都归向他。紧那罗王（Kinnara King）！宝住三昧（Ratnagarbha Samadhi）能聚集一切诸法的珍宝，其中不会断绝三宝（佛、法、僧）的种子，这个宝住三昧（Ratnagarbha Samadhi），被称为聚集诸法之宝。’ 当时，天冠菩萨（Tianguan Bodhisattva）问道：‘世尊！大树紧那罗王（Mahavriksha Kinnara King）已经获得了这个宝住三昧（Ratnagarbha Samadhi）了吗？’ 佛说：‘善男子！你现在可以亲自问大树紧那罗王（Mahavriksha Kinnara King）！他会为你解答。’ 当时，天冠菩萨（Tianguan Bodhisattva）就问大树紧那罗王（Mahavriksha Kinnara King）：‘紧那罗王（Kinnara King）！您现在已经获得了这个菩萨宝住三昧（Ratnagarbha Samadhi）了吗？’ 他回答说：‘善男子！这个三昧中没有住也没有得，这个三昧中没有……’

English version: 'Brightness' means it generates wisdom light; this is called 'Making Bright' because it is free from obstacles and obscurations; it is the most upright place because it produces illumination; this is called 'Cutting Off' because it removes afflictions and defilements; it is without waves because it crosses over the rivers of afflictions; it is invisible because it transcends all realms; it is without realms because it is free from inner and outer. This is called 'Emptiness' because it is free from clinging to views; this is called 'No-Sign' because it is free from perception and contemplation; this is called 'No-Wish' because it is free from the characteristics of the three realms (Desire Realm, Form Realm, Formless Realm). This is called 'One Sign' because it has no specific characteristics; it is the sign of space because it has no similarity; it harms love and pride because it is free from the works of Mara (demon). Giving without deluded thoughts, not relying on precepts, not dwelling in patience, not arising in diligence, not being attached to meditation. It is the gate of no speech, it is the gate of no all gates, expedient means arise naturally, without 'self' and 'sentient beings', thus crossing to the other shore, accumulating all good roots, without action and actor, transcending all paths of action. Kinnara King (Kinnara King)! This is what is called a treasure beyond the world. The various treasures of Prajna (Wisdom), are the treasures of wisdom, which is the substance of the Ratnagarbha Samadhi (Treasure-Dwelling Samadhi). If a Bodhisattva obtains the Ratnagarbha Samadhi, all treasures will gather. 'Kinnara King (Kinnara King)! It is like the ocean, which is the master of all rivers, gathering all treasures, and all treasures return to the ocean, and from the ocean, various treasures are born. Likewise, Kinnara King (Kinnara King)! When a Bodhisattva obtains this Ratnagarbha Samadhi (Treasure-Dwelling Samadhi), he becomes the master of all sentient beings, gathering all treasures, and all Dharma treasures return to him. Kinnara King (Kinnara King)! The Ratnagarbha Samadhi (Treasure-Dwelling Samadhi) can gather all the treasures of all Dharmas, and the seeds of the Three Jewels (Buddha, Dharma, Sangha) will not be cut off within it. This Ratnagarbha Samadhi (Treasure-Dwelling Samadhi) is called the gathering of the treasures of all Dharmas.' At that time, Tianguan Bodhisattva (Heavenly Crown Bodhisattva) asked: 'World Honored One! Has Mahavriksha Kinnara King (Great Tree Kinnara King) already attained this Ratnagarbha Samadhi (Treasure-Dwelling Samadhi)?' The Buddha said: 'Good man! You can now ask Mahavriksha Kinnara King (Great Tree Kinnara King) yourself! He will explain it to you.' At that time, Tianguan Bodhisattva (Heavenly Crown Bodhisattva) asked Mahavriksha Kinnara King (Great Tree Kinnara King): 'Kinnara King (Kinnara King)! Have you now attained this Bodhisattva Ratnagarbha Samadhi (Treasure-Dwelling Samadhi)?' He replied: 'Good man! In this Samadhi, there is no dwelling and no attainment, in this Samadhi, there is no...' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

得者，而是三昧非色、受、想、行、识；而是三昧，非色可见、无声可闻，非是住相、非是灭相，无有处相，非无相、非一相。所言相者，都无有相，无能为作。三昧相者，自无有相亦非无相，是三昧相应如是修。善男子！是三昧者等一切法，若等诸法亦等于我，若等于我亦同等于一切众生。是故善男子！是三昧等一切众生。何以故？一切众生即是空相，空相是三昧相；一切众生即是无相相，无相相是三昧相；一切众生即是无愿相，无愿相是三昧相。一切众生及一切法是寂静相，寂静相是三昧相。一切众生是无我相，无我相是三昧相。三昧相者，无能以身触、无能以心触，凡可触法若等不等，一切皆为善调伏故而演说之。” 时天冠菩萨即白佛言：“希有世尊！是大树紧那罗王处在如是放逸之中，乃能演说甚深妙法。” 佛言：“善男子！菩萨从慧方便地中出生示现一切所作，不为一切所作染污。善男子！是大树紧那罗王！以此琴乐诸箫笛音及妙歌音，调伏七十亿紧那罗众令住菩提，三十亿乾闼婆于无上道而得调伏，其内眷属八万四千住一切智。彼有如是大方便智，善男子！我唱是言：‘是谓菩萨随所居住，在于大处、随是诸处多利众生。’善男子！犹如无薪，火则不然。如是善男子！菩萨处寂亦复如是 现代汉语译本： ‘获得的三昧，不是色（rupa，物质、形态）、受（vedana，感受）、想（samjna，概念、认知）、行（samskara，意志、行为）、识（vijnana，意识）；这个三昧，不是可以用眼睛看到的色，也不是可以用耳朵听到的声音，不是停留在有相的状态，也不是停留在灭相的状态，没有处所的相状，不是没有相，也不是唯一的相。所说的相，实际上是没有相，没有什么可以作为它的作用。三昧的相，自身没有相也不是没有相，这个三昧应当这样相应地修习。善男子！这个三昧等同于一切法，如果等同于诸法，也等同于我，如果等同于我，也同样等同于一切众生。所以，善男子！这个三昧等同于一切众生。为什么呢？一切众生就是空相，空相就是三昧的相；一切众生就是无相相，无相相就是三昧的相；一切众生就是无愿相，无愿相就是三昧的相。一切众生和一切法是寂静相，寂静相就是三昧的相。一切众生是无我相，无我相就是三昧的相。三昧的相，不能用身体去触碰，也不能用心去触碰，凡是可以触碰的法，无论是相等还是不等，一切都是为了善巧调伏的缘故而演说。’ 当时天冠菩萨就对佛说：‘希有啊世尊！这位大树紧那罗王（Mahavriksha Kinnara Raja），身处在这样的放逸之中，竟然能够演说如此甚深微妙的佛法。’ 佛说：‘善男子！菩萨从智慧方便的境界中出生，示现一切所作所为，却不被一切所作所为所污染。善男子！这位大树紧那罗王，用他的琴乐、各种箫笛的声音以及美妙的歌声，调伏了七十亿紧那罗众（Kinnaras）使他们安住于菩提（bodhi，觉悟），调伏了三十亿乾闼婆（Gandharvas）使他们在无上道上获得调伏，他的内眷属八万四千人安住于一切智。他有如此大的方便智慧，善男子！我才这样说：‘这就是菩萨随所居住的地方，身处在大的处所，无论在任何处所都能利益众生。’善男子！就像没有柴火，火就无法燃烧一样。同样的，善男子！菩萨处于寂静之中也是如此。'
