English version: 'The Dharma wheel (Dharmachakra) turns, pure and without defilements, so who will deliver all sentient beings?' Bao Lai answered, 'Excellent question! Is it like this that you wish to sever the root of all birth and death? A Bodhisattva has nine Dharma treasures: First, regarding transformation, he sees the master of transformation as without a master; second, regarding Nirvana (liberation) and birth and death, initially it is as if they do not know each other; third, regarding birth and death, there is no such thing as extinction; fourth, all heavenly messengers do not return to be born in places where there is no birth; fifth, when the thought is about to arise but has not yet arisen, he abides in such a place; sixth, he observes the Trisahasra-Mahasahasra-Lokadhatu (three-thousand-great-thousand world system) and realizes that there is no one to be delivered; seventh, regarding thoughts, there is no place of arising; eighth, even if he causes all beings in the three-thousand-great-thousand world system to attain Nirvana, his heart will not rejoice, and if they do not attain Nirvana, he will not be angry. Why is this? Because all Dharmas (things, phenomena) have no fixed place; ninth, according to the wishes of sentient beings, I will cause them to attain Arhatship (liberated one), and I will cause them all to generate the Bodhi mind. If someone generates the Bodhi mind and makes a vow, I will not let them regress, and they will no longer generate various thoughts, nor will they have the idea of fulfilling vows; these are the nine Dharma treasures.' Bao Lai then spoke in verse: 'Regarding what is possible, there is nothing impossible, regarding desire, there is nothing desired, Among those delivered, there is no one who sees, the turning of the Dharma has no constant place. The wise have nothing to say, because in deliverance there is no one who goes, Therefore, one sees the great and true Dharma (Saddharma), the most rare in the world. The Path (Bodhi, path to enlightenment) has no constant name, therefore it is a treasure of the ten directions (Dasabala), Because one obtains the unobtainable, in birth and death there is no path. The four horses (symbolizing the senses) cannot be exhausted, desirable things have no satisfaction, All beings in the world delight in them, without abandoning them, one cannot attain the Path. Fearing birth, there is no escape, without fear, there is no one who escapes, Birth and death should be named, established as the five Gatis (paths of reincarnation). There is retribution but no one who answers, this can be called the Dharma, The essence of the Dharma has no duality, all truths should be known through enlightenment. Without boundaries and without limits, without extremes and immeasurable, The original state is like an echo and a shadow, there is no coming or going. Regarding arising, there is nothing that arises, the Dharma has no desires, The essence of birth and death has no place, the manifestation of birth and death is like this. Regarding purity, there is no purity, regarding defilement, there is no defilement, It is entirely for the beings of the ten directions (Dasabala).' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 断绝诸五道。 净意若如水， 一切无瑕垢， 青黄及白黑， 悉得见其形。 诸法不可呵， 即得无上宝， 吾我及与人， 世间无得者。 不住无住谛， 所有谛如是， 所觉无所见， 世间谛如是。 不度无不度， 世时谁不有， 十方立正觉， 悉得无上宝。”

昙摩菩萨问宝来菩萨言：“欲使十方诸天人民，自然皆令得如其处，当行何等法得致之乎？” 宝来答曰：“有六事得逮是法：一者闻知是会时是即为宝；二者得闻是经是即为宝；三者逮本功德是即为宝；四者得闻是经法者，悉得六万三昧，是即为宝；五者已得六万三昧，欲十方人发无上意，是即为宝；六者皆使十方悉得会于佛树，是即为宝。” 说是经时，九十亿菩萨，六十七亿诸天人民，皆得无所从生法处；九亿菩萨得是三昧。三千大千佛刹六反震动，诸天于空中大作伎乐，诸龙、阿须伦，皆得闻见是深三昧。 阿难正衣服，长跪白佛言：“是名何经？云何奉持？” 佛语阿难：“是名为‘无极宝’，当奉持之。” 佛说经已，诸天、人、阿须伦、人非人皆欢喜，各前为佛作礼而去。 佛说无极宝三昧经卷下 现代汉语译本 断绝所有五道轮回。 清净的心意如果像水一样，一切没有瑕疵和污垢，青色、黄色以及白色、黑色，都能清楚地映照出它们的形状。 对于一切法不加以批判，就能获得无上的珍宝，‘吾’（自我）、‘我’（执着）、以及‘人’（众生相），在世间都无法真正获得。 不住于‘无住’的真谛，所有的真谛就是这样，所觉悟的没有能被看见的，世间的真谛就是这样。 不度化也没有不度化，世间何时没有（度化），十方确立正觉，都能获得无上的珍宝。 昙摩菩萨（Dharmā Bodhisattva）问宝来菩萨（Ratnakara Bodhisattva）说：‘想要使十方诸天和人民，自然而然地都得到他们应在的处所，应当奉行什么样的法才能达到呢？’ 宝来菩萨（Ratnakara Bodhisattva）回答说：‘有六件事能够获得这种法：第一，闻知这个法会的殊胜，这就是珍宝；第二，能够听闻这部经，这就是珍宝；第三，获得根本的功德，这就是珍宝；第四，能够听闻这部经法的人，都能获得六万种三昧（samādhi，禅定），这就是珍宝；第五，已经获得六万种三昧（samādhi，禅定），想要使十方的人都发起无上的菩提心，这就是珍宝；第六，都能使十方众生聚集在菩提树下，这就是珍宝。’ 在宣说这部经的时候，九十亿菩萨（Bodhisattva），六十七亿诸天和人民，都获得了无所从来、无所去处的法；九亿菩萨（Bodhisattva）获得了这种三昧（samādhi，禅定）。三千大千世界六次震动，诸天在空中演奏盛大的音乐，诸龙（Nāga）、阿修罗（Asura），都得以听闻和见到这种甚深的三昧（samādhi，禅定）。 阿难（Ānanda）整理好衣服，长跪着对佛说：‘这部经叫什么名字？应当如何奉持？’ 佛告诉阿难（Ānanda）说：‘这部经名为《无极宝》，应当奉持它。’ 佛说完这部经后，诸天、人、阿修罗（Asura）、非人，都非常欢喜，各自上前向佛作礼后离去。 《佛说无极宝三昧经》卷下

English version Cutting off all five paths of rebirth. A pure mind is like water, free from all flaws and impurities. Blue, yellow, white, and black, all their forms can be clearly seen. Not criticizing any Dharma, one obtains the supreme treasure. 'I' (ego), 'mine' (attachment), and 'person' (appearance of beings), none can be truly obtained in this world. Not dwelling in the truth of 'non-dwelling,' all truths are like this. What is awakened has nothing to be seen; the worldly truth is like this. No deliverance and no non-deliverance; when is there a time without (deliverance)? The ten directions establish perfect enlightenment; all obtain the supreme treasure. Dharmā Bodhisattva asked Ratnakara Bodhisattva: 'If one wishes to enable all the gods and people of the ten directions to naturally attain their proper places, what kind of Dharma should one practice to achieve this?' Ratnakara Bodhisattva replied: 'There are six things that enable one to attain this Dharma: First, hearing and knowing the auspiciousness of this assembly is itself a treasure; second, being able to hear this Sutra is itself a treasure; third, attaining the fundamental merits is itself a treasure; fourth, those who can hear this Sutra will all attain sixty thousand samādhis (meditative states), this is itself a treasure; fifth, having already attained sixty thousand samādhis (meditative states), wishing to inspire the people of the ten directions to generate the supreme Bodhi mind, this is itself a treasure; sixth, enabling all beings in the ten directions to gather under the Bodhi tree, this is itself a treasure.' When this Sutra was being spoken, ninety billion Bodhisattvas, sixty-seven billion gods and people, all attained the state of Dharma from which there is no coming and no going; nine billion Bodhisattvas attained this samādhi (meditative state). The three thousand great thousand world systems shook six times, the gods in the sky made great music, and the dragons (Nāgas) and Asuras all were able to hear and see this profound samādhi (meditative state). Ānanda, arranging his robes, knelt and said to the Buddha: 'What is the name of this Sutra? How should it be upheld?' The Buddha told Ānanda: 'This Sutra is named 'The Infinite Treasure'; you should uphold it.' After the Buddha finished speaking this Sutra, the gods, humans, Asuras, and non-humans were all delighted, and each came forward to pay homage to the Buddha and departed. The End of the Lower Scroll of the Sutra of the Immeasurable Treasure Samādhi Spoken by the Buddha --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
