English

English version: The Bodhisattva Baolai, knowing what the Buddha had said, then spoke the following verses in the palace: 'Doubt arises from not understanding, thinking that all dharmas are like this, originally there is nothing permanent, doubting wisdom is also like this. For delusion, there is no toil; for consciousness, there is no suffering. Clinging to names and words is not seeking the Dharma. Originally it is not like this, not returning is not not returning, what is acceptable is unacceptable, distancing is undistanceable. Escaping birth has no extinction, that is extinction, for extinction there is no delusion, that is non-extinction. For Dharma there is no arising, nor should one think of accomplishment, why is that? Because all dharmas are empty. Nor should one seek words, I am apart from Nirvana (nirvana, liberation), why is that? Because from beginning to end it is pure. One cannot exhaust the ten directions, cite it as proof, if there are words saying 'it is I', that is proof. One should not think far away, think of the ten directions, Dharma has no two dharmas, then one obtains no name. Dharma is not thought, what can be attained, initiating such action, one does not see the venerable Dharma. One must understand wisdom, not fear the subtle, deep practice is not attached, this can be called the gate of wisdom.' The Bodhisattva Baolai asked Manjusri (Manjusri, symbol of wisdom) Bodhisattva: 'Now among those newly aspiring Bodhisattvas in this assembly, I wish to enable them to obtain the Unsurpassed Dharma, how should they attain it?' Manjusri Bodhisattva replied: 'By having no fabrication in thought, one obtains the Unsurpassed Dharma.' He further asked: 'What is meant by no-thought creator?' Manjusri Bodhisattva said: 'One should attain the nine Dharma treasures: first, the mind has no location, this is a treasure; second, observing the Dharma has no master, this is a treasure; third, not seeing a future or past, this is a treasure; fourth, for Dharma there is no creator, this is a treasure; fifth, what is given is only the Sutra Dharma, this is a treasure; sixth, seeing the diligence and suffering of the five paths, not revolving within them, this is a treasure; seventh, what is awakened is not far from aukasa (aukasa, space), this is a treasure; eighth, directly seeing all dharmas, not clinging to the duality of Dharma, this is a treasure; ninth, arriving at Nirvana (nirvana, liberation), -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 洹亦如化是即宝,是为九法宝。”   于是文殊师利说偈曰: “于可无所欲,  所住无常名,  若空无有垢,  佛笑无不可。  笑空不离末,  如本无笑者,  已住诸法名,  一切皆如笑。  本末皆自然,  无有往来者,  笑者有还报,  不还亦不笑。  法者皆是一,  已笑便有二,  于二无名字,  是故为是尊。  所笑无所著,  但为众法施,  所动无所动,  是故无上尊。  笑者无还报,  一切无有主,  其笑不离本,  是故天中天。  笑者无所起,  但为倒见耳,  于法悉寂然,  寂者本无故。  笑者不离化,  以化大施与,  于化无举名,  是故乃为法。  于法无有是,  但为不脱施,  所脱不为脱,  佛者亦如是。  故于大会中,  议度无度者,  于法作施与,  无有与比者。”

十二法宝。”   于是宝来菩萨说颂曰: “十方普如化,  一切皆无常,  真法正谛寂,  演说度众生,  有想不离想,  一切实本空,  若华未施叶,  其色不可当,  一切所众欲,  立之可意王,  诸宝无上尊,  号为天中天。  故于大会中,  议度未脱者,  其本无常住,  故字十力尊。  一切为倒见,  世间谓之冥,  所可若如化,  能脱十方中。  虚空无常处,  佛藏悉在中,  以脱无脱者,  故教十方人。  十方诸佛刹,  合之为一国,  自然众大会,  悉满十方中。  佛者一切觉,  笑不离其容,  不离黄金色,  以示未脱人。  十方为作导,  意不离法王,  所施无所施,  华布于十方。  金色大莲华,  遍满诸空中,  起想而作行,  不住诸天中。  文殊师利意,  旷大无有双,  使得道莂者,  住在虚空中。  宝来慧意尊,  光明遍宫中,  可意诸天人,  悉得到法门。  十方诸菩萨,  感动诸刹中。  今会诸天子,  得闻是尊经,  彻见诸一切,  乃到可意宫。  化为交露坐,  万种天华香,  听受诸三昧,  坐观大众中,  诸来宿功德,  发意供养尊 现代汉语译本:‘十二法宝。’ 于是宝来菩萨说颂曰: ‘十方普遍如幻化,一切皆是无常, 真法正谛寂静,演说以度化众生, 有想不离于想,一切实相本性空, 若花朵未生叶,其色彩无法比拟, 一切所求众生欲,立之可意为王, 诸宝中最无上尊,号为天中之天(佛陀的尊称)。 故于大会之中,议论度化未解脱者, 其根本无常住,故名为十力尊(佛陀的称号,因具十种力量)。 一切皆为颠倒见,世间称之为黑暗, 所见若如幻化般,能脱离十方世界中。 虚空本无常住处,佛陀的智慧藏于其中, 以解脱无解脱者,故教化十方众人。 十方诸佛的刹土(佛国),合成为一个国土, 自然形成的盛大集会,充满十方世界中。 佛陀是一切觉悟者,笑容常挂在脸上, 不离黄金之色相,以此示现未解脱之人。 为十方众生作引导,心意不离于法王(佛陀), 所施予的无所施予,花朵散布于十方。 金色的大莲花,遍满于虚空中, 生起念想而修行,不住于诸天之中。 文殊师利菩萨的意念,旷大无比无与伦比, 使得道授记之人,安住在虚空中。 宝来慧意尊者,光明遍照宫殿中, 可意的诸天与人,都得到佛法的门径。 十方诸菩萨,感动于各个佛国之中。 今次集会的诸天子,得闻这部尊贵的经典, 彻底看清诸法实相,乃至于到达可意宫。 幻化成交露之座,万种天上的花香, 听受诸种三昧(禅定),端坐观看大众之中, 诸位前来皆因宿世功德,发心供养佛陀。’

English version: ‘The Twelve Dharma Treasures.’ Then Bodhisattva Baolai spoke in verse: ‘The ten directions are universally like illusions, all is impermanent, The true Dharma, the correct truth, is serene, expounding to deliver sentient beings, Having thought does not depart from thought, all reality is fundamentally empty, If a flower has not yet produced leaves, its color is incomparable, All desires of sentient beings, establish him as the King of Delight, Among all treasures, the unsurpassed honored one, is called the Teacher of Gods and Humans (a title for the Buddha). Therefore, in the great assembly, discussing the deliverance of those not yet liberated, Its root is impermanent, hence the name Ten-Powered One (a title for the Buddha, referring to his ten powers). All is inverted view, the world calls it darkness, What is seen is like an illusion, able to liberate from the ten directions. Empty space has no permanent abode, the Buddha's treasury is all within it, Using liberation to liberate the unliberated, therefore teaching the people of the ten directions. The Buddha-lands of the ten directions, combined into one country, The naturally occurring great assembly, fills the ten directions. The Buddha is the all-enlightened one, laughter never leaves his face, Never departing from the golden color, to show those not yet liberated. Acting as a guide for the ten directions, the mind does not depart from the Dharma King (the Buddha), What is given is without giving, flowers are scattered in the ten directions. The golden great lotus flower, fills all the empty space, Arising thought and practicing, not dwelling among the heavens. Manjushri Bodhisattva's intention, is vast and unparalleled, Enabling those who receive the prediction of enlightenment, to dwell in empty space. The honored one, Baolai Huìyì (Treasure-Come Wisdom-Intent), light shines throughout the palace, The pleasing gods and humans, all attain the gateway to the Dharma. The Bodhisattvas of the ten directions, are moved in all Buddha-lands. The gods gathered in this assembly, now hear this honored sutra, Thoroughly seeing all things, and then arriving at the Palace of Delight. Transforming into dewdrop seats, ten thousand kinds of heavenly fragrant flowers, Listening to the various samadhis (meditative states), sitting and observing the great assembly, All who come have accumulated merit from past lives, generating the intention to make offerings to the honored one.’ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ,  道者不直见,  所有皆如是,  诸脱无有数,  三界不可极。”
