,则无此五也,寂然洁净,一切尽灭,是曰最尊,故喻胜也。   “善明!当布露是戒,令一切闻受持行之,此明士所当勤劝率也。”   佛告善明:“我灭度后,若有人行是成具光明定意,及书持经卷、供养作礼者,当有十二大天神拥护之,令不抂撗,所在安隐,不为恶所中伤。今为汝说此诸神名字,其在厄难、水、火、盗贼、兵革,善诵行是经文,不以怨厄故而废置者,是十二天神,即当往护之,终不使横殃。佛无二言也,当广宣告一切人,令诵习之。 “有神名大护,  复次神名福救;  复次神名祐众,  复次神名不厄。  复次神名善将,  复次神名光明;  复次神名道戒,  复次神名拔苦。  复次神名大度,  复次神名度厄;  复次神名安隐,  复次神名普济。”   佛告善明:“是十二神又有愿于佛,当防护是持法者,行是成具光明定意法诫处,当令有五清净:一者为经所在高座常令清净;二者烧香扫地令清净;三者衣服常清净;四者心、口、意常清净;五者读是经时,先施清净水,盥手、漱口常令清净;是为五也。”   于是,佛告阿难:“以成具光明定意法嘱汝,善书经文慎莫增减。勤教一切人,疾令受解。阿难!是经难遇。所以者何?其要先从六度无极起 现代汉语译本: 则不会有这五种东西,寂静而洁净,一切都灭尽,这叫做最尊贵,所以用‘胜’来比喻。 ‘善明!应当广泛宣扬这个戒律,让所有人都听闻、受持和修行,这是明智之士应当勤勉劝导的。’ 佛告诉善明:‘我灭度之后,如果有人修行这个成具光明定意,以及书写、持诵经卷、供养作礼,将会有十二位大天神拥护他,使他不遭受横祸,所处之处都安稳,不被邪恶所伤害。现在为你述说这些神的名字,当他在厄难、水灾、火灾、盗贼、兵革等灾祸中时,如果能好好诵读修行这部经文,不因为怨恨和困厄而废弃,这十二位天神就会前去护卫他,终究不会让他遭受横祸。佛是不会说谎的,应当广泛地告诉所有人,让他们诵习这部经。’ ‘有神名叫大护(Mahāpāla), 其次神名叫福救(Puṇyatrāṇa); 其次神名叫祐众(Sarva-bhūtānugraha), 其次神名叫不厄(Anupadrava)。 其次神名叫善将(Su-nīti), 其次神名叫光明(Prabhākara); 其次神名叫道戒(Mārga-śīla), 其次神名叫拔苦(Duḥkhoddharaṇa)。 其次神名叫大度(Mahātāraka), 其次神名叫度厄(Upadravatāraka); 其次神名叫安隐(Śiva), 其次神名叫普济(Sarvatrāṇa)。’ 佛告诉善明:‘这十二位神还有愿力在佛前发誓,要防护那些持法者,在修行这个成具光明定意法诫的地方,应当有五种清净:第一是经书所在的高座要经常保持清净;第二是烧香扫地要保持清净;第三是衣服要经常保持清净;第四是心、口、意要经常保持清净;第五是读这部经时,先施清净的水,洗手、漱口要经常保持清净;这就是五种清净。’ 于是,佛告诉阿难:‘我把成具光明定意法嘱托给你,要好好书写经文,谨慎不要增减。勤勉地教导所有人,尽快让他们理解。阿难!这部经很难遇到。为什么呢?因为它的要义首先要从六度无极开始。’

English version: Then there would be none of these five; serene and pure, all extinguished. This is called the most venerable, hence the metaphor of 'supreme'. 'O, Subhuti! You should widely proclaim this precept, causing all to hear, receive, uphold, and practice it. This is what a wise person should diligently encourage and urge.' The Buddha told Subhuti: 'After my Parinirvana, if there are those who practice this Samadhi of Accomplished Light, and write, uphold, recite the scriptures, make offerings and prostrations, there will be twelve great deities protecting them, ensuring they do not suffer untimely death, that they are safe wherever they are, and are not harmed by evil. Now I will tell you the names of these deities. When they are in distress, facing water, fire, thieves, or warfare, if they diligently recite and practice this scripture, and do not abandon it due to resentment or hardship, these twelve deities will immediately go to protect them, and will never allow them to suffer unexpected calamity. The Buddha does not speak falsely. You should widely proclaim this to all people, causing them to recite and study it.' 'There is a deity named Mahāpāla (Great Protector), and another named Puṇyatrāṇa (Merit Savior); Another deity named Sarva-bhūtānugraha (Benefactor of All Beings), and another named Anupadrava (Free from Calamity). Another deity named Su-nīti (Good Guide), and another named Prabhākara (Light Maker); Another deity named Mārga-śīla (Path of Virtue), and another named Duḥkhoddharaṇa (Uprooter of Suffering). Another deity named Mahātāraka (Great Deliverer), and another named Upadravatāraka (Calamity Deliverer); Another deity named Śiva (Peaceful), and another named Sarvatrāṇa (All Savior).' The Buddha told Subhuti: 'These twelve deities also have vows before the Buddha, to protect those who uphold the Dharma. In the place where this Samadhi of Accomplished Light and its precepts are practiced, there should be five purities: first, the high seat where the scripture is kept should always be kept clean; second, incense should be burned and the ground swept clean; third, the clothes should always be kept clean; fourth, the mind, speech, and intention should always be kept clean; fifth, when reading this scripture, first offer clean water, wash hands, and rinse the mouth, always keeping them clean; these are the five purities.' Then, the Buddha told Ananda: 'I entrust to you the Dharma of the Samadhi of Accomplished Light. Write the scripture well, and be careful not to add or subtract from it. Diligently teach all people, and quickly cause them to understand it. Ananda! This scripture is difficult to encounter. Why? Because its essence must first begin with the Six Perfections (Ṣaṭpāramitā).' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

,乃入正定。是百三十五行,此中有教诫、有谦诫、有忍诫、有礼节诫、有众善法诫、有空法诫,乃至灭度处,无不具有也。佛身所有相好慧力,悉从此法出。为尊上、为断生死,所谓无比之法也。重嘱累汝,谛以授之,当以了了。佛之出世,难可常见,法诫之兴,亦难值遇也。汝莫怠远。”   阿难言:“受天尊教。”   佛说经竟,十方诸来明士及诸天神,礼佛欢喜,忽各还本所。忍国诸明士、除恶众、天龙鬼王及四辈人,闻经欣悦,各以头面着地,礼佛而去。   佛说成具光明定意经 现代汉语译本:于是进入正定(Samadhi,一种高度集中的冥想状态)。这百三十五行中,包含了教诫、谦逊的教诫、忍耐的教诫、礼节的教诫、各种善法的教诫、空性的教诫,乃至涅槃(Nirvana,灭度)之处,无不具备。佛陀(Buddha)身的所有相好和智慧力量,都从此法而出。这是为了尊敬上位者、为了断绝生死轮回,所说的无与伦比之法。再次嘱咐你,仔细地传授它,应当明明白白地了解它。佛陀的出世,难以经常见到,法诫的兴盛,也难以值遇。你不要懈怠疏远。' 阿难(Ananda,佛陀的十大弟子之一)说:'谨遵天尊(Bhagavan,世尊)的教诲。' 佛陀说完这部经,十方前来的明士以及诸天神,礼拜佛陀,欢喜踊跃,忽然各自返回原来的处所。忍国的各位明士、断除邪恶的大众、天龙鬼王以及四众弟子,听闻此经,欢喜踊跃,各自以头面触地,礼拜佛陀而去。 佛说《成具光明定意经》。

English version: Then he entered into right concentration (Samadhi, a state of deep meditative absorption). These one hundred and thirty-five lines contain teachings, teachings on humility, teachings on patience, teachings on etiquette, teachings on various good dharmas, teachings on emptiness, and even the place of Nirvana (Nirvana, liberation from suffering), all are fully present. All the excellent marks, qualities, and wisdom power of the Buddha (Buddha) arise from this Dharma. This is the incomparable Dharma spoken for the sake of honoring superiors and for cutting off the cycle of birth and death. I entrust it to you again, carefully transmit it, and you should understand it clearly. The appearance of a Buddha in the world is difficult to see often, and the flourishing of the Dharma teachings is also difficult to encounter. Do not be negligent or distant.' Ananda (Ananda, one of the ten principal disciples of the Buddha) said, 'I receive the teachings of the World Honored One (Bhagavan, the Blessed One).' After the Buddha finished speaking this Sutra, the wise scholars who came from the ten directions and the various gods, bowed to the Buddha, rejoiced, and suddenly each returned to their original places. The wise scholars of the Land of Endurance, the assembly that eradicates evil, the kings of the nagas, dragons, ghosts, and the fourfold assembly, hearing this Sutra, rejoiced, each touching their heads to the ground, bowed to the Buddha, and departed. The Buddha speaks the Sutra on the Concentration of Accomplishing Complete Light and Intention. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
