佛语童子:“坐禅菩萨有十事行。何等为十?一者专行住,二者行道事,三者无有恐难,四者谛正诸根,五者为人所爱,六者远离欲,七者不转一心,八者脱于魔界,九者住佛界,十者得解脱。童子!是为坐禅菩萨十事行。”佛于是说偈言: “其人不转所行,  即为住谛之行;  专行诸道之事,  其人舍不正行。  所修无所复着,  诸根已为寂定;  即为得安隐喜,  坐思惟道行事。  其人已离爱欲,  安隐坐于一心;  以 现代汉语译本   最终不会有疾病的时候;  精进的人智慧也具备,  这样的人能够证得佛道。  所吃的食物能够得到安稳,  就能算是精进修行;  譬如优钵罗(utpala,青莲花)在水中,  慢慢生长而长大。  清净的佛法也是这样,  使菩萨慢慢成就;  最终没有人能够阻挡,  得以在天上安乐之处。  多陀竭(Tathagata,如来)精进修行,  以精进超越无数劫;  诸位菩萨勤奋努力修行,  所修行的全部都说出来。  精进的人有威德神力,  常常被诸佛所拥护;  而且都奉行接受这佛道修行,  这样的人证得佛道不会太久。  所听闻的最终不会忘记,  并且能够获得其他的众多修行方法;  这样的人智慧慢慢增长,  精进修行的人会有这样的结果。  种种三昧(samadhi,禅定)常常自己增长,  他们最终不会有疾病的时候;  所有可以吃的食物,  一切获得都能得到安稳。  日夜成就清净的修行,  精进的人没有停止的时候;  这样的人不久就能快速成佛,  修行精进的人是如此的尊贵。   佛告诉童子:‘坐禅的菩萨有十种修行。哪十种呢?一是专心行走,二是实践道业,三是没有恐惧和困难,四是端正诸根,五是为人所爱,六是远离欲望,七是不转移一心,八是脱离魔的境界,九是安住于佛的境界,十是获得解脱。童子!这就是坐禅菩萨的十种修行。’佛于是说了偈语: ‘这样的人不改变所修行的,  就是安住于真谛的修行;  专心修行各种道业,  这样的人舍弃不正当的行为。  所修行的没有执着,  诸根已经寂静安定;  就是得到安稳的喜悦,  安稳地坐着思惟道业。  这样的人已经远离爱欲,  安稳地坐着一心不乱;  以

English version   Ultimately, there will be no time of illness;  The diligent one possesses wisdom,  Such a person attains the path of Buddhahood.  The food consumed brings peace and security,  Thus, one is considered to be diligently practicing;  Like an utpala (utpala, blue lotus) in water,  Gradually growing and becoming large.  The pure Dharma is also like this,  Enabling the Bodhisattva to gradually achieve;  Ultimately, no one can obstruct,  Gaining access to the peaceful and joyful realms of heaven.  Tathagata (Tathagata, Thus Come One) diligently practices,  Surpassing countless kalpas through diligence;  All Bodhisattvas diligently exert effort in practice,  All that is cultivated and offered will be spoken of.  The diligent one possesses majestic power,  Constantly protected by all the Buddhas;  And all uphold and accept this path of practice,  Such a person will attain Buddhahood before long.  What is heard will ultimately not be forgotten,  And one will also attain other numerous Dharma practices;  Such a person's wisdom gradually increases,  The diligent practitioner experiences these things.  Various samadhis (samadhi, concentration) constantly increase on their own,  They will ultimately have no time of illness;  All that can be consumed as food,  All that is obtained brings peace and security.  Day and night accomplishing pure conduct,  The diligent one has no rest;  Such a person will quickly attain Buddhahood before long,  The one who practices diligently is honored in this way.'   The Buddha said to the youth: 'A Bodhisattva in meditation has ten practices. What are the ten? First is focused walking, second is practicing the path, third is having no fear or difficulty, fourth is rectifying the senses, fifth is being loved by others, sixth is being detached from desires, seventh is not diverting from one-pointedness of mind, eighth is escaping the realm of Mara (Mara, demon), ninth is abiding in the realm of the Buddha, and tenth is attaining liberation. Youth! These are the ten practices of a Bodhisattva in meditation.' Thereupon, the Buddha spoke in verse: ‘Such a person does not change what is practiced,  Which is abiding in the practice of truth;  Focusing on practicing various aspects of the path,  Such a person abandons improper conduct.  What is practiced has no attachment,  The senses have already become tranquil and settled;  Which is attaining the joy of peace and security,  Peacefully sitting and contemplating the affairs of the path.  Such a person has already departed from love and desire,  Peacefully sitting with one-pointedness of mind;  With -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 远离魔境界,  即住于佛境界。  专行者有是持,  其独乐树间者;  即便解脱之行,  便成得十事句。  其菩萨住转不行,  皆弃捐于不当行;  弃不正行乐正行,  念三昧者有是事。  其人终无贪着时,  行安隐者贤不贪;  身意善觉而持戒,  行三昧者有是事。  行空树间无所畏,  其人终无著贪时;  诸非人皆爱念之,  如是远离欲独行。  终不着欲亦不贪,  如是即脱魔境界;  便住于如来境界,  其人解脱邪事竟。”

佛语童子:“菩萨行般若波罗蜜有十事。何等为十?一者一切所有悉布施,无所希望;二者不复犯戒,不以戒自绮;三者住忍辱力无人想住;四者行精进不贪身命;五者行禅不住禅;六者降伏弊魔;七者九十六种外道不能动之;八者自得知生死;九者于众生有悲意;十者不求弟子、缘一觉地。童子!是为菩萨行般若波罗蜜十事。”佛于是说偈言: “其人所施皆等,  亦不念望其报;  护经戒不敢犯,  亦不有想着求。  行忍辱及智慧,  终无有人之想;  见人即有精进,  身志意无所著。  行一心及智慧,  无所住无有想;  以降伏于众魔,  智慧者有是德。  九十六种之道,  皆无能动摇者;  得知 现代汉语译本 远离魔的境界,就是安住于佛的境界。 那些精进修行的人持有这样的信念,那些喜欢独自在树林间修行的人, 他们的修行即是解脱之道,便能成就十种功德。 菩萨安住于正道,摒弃一切不应为之事; 舍弃不正当的行为,乐于行持正道,心中常念三昧(Samadhi,禅定),就能成就这些。 这样的人永远不会有贪恋执着的时候,行为安稳贤善,不会贪婪; 身、意都能保持清醒觉知并持守戒律,修习三昧的人就能成就这些。 在空旷的树林间行走而无所畏惧,这样的人永远不会有执着贪恋的时候; 所有的非人(指天龙八部等)都会爱护思念他,像这样远离欲望独自修行。 最终不执着于欲望,也不贪恋,这样就能脱离魔的境界; 便能安住于如来的境界,这样的人就彻底解脱了邪恶之事。 佛告诉童子:‘菩萨行般若波罗蜜(Prajna-paramita,智慧到彼岸)有十件事。哪十件呢?第一,布施一切所有,不求回报;第二,不再违犯戒律,不以持戒而自夸;第三,安住于忍辱的力量,心中没有人的分别念;第四,精进修行,不贪恋身命;第五,修习禅定,但不执着于禅定;第六,降伏各种魔障;第七,九十六种外道(指当时流行的各种非佛教思想)都不能动摇他;第八,自己能够知道生死之事;第九,对于众生怀有慈悲之心;第十,不追求弟子,不希求成为缘觉(Pratyekabuddha,独觉)的果位。童子!这就是菩萨行般若波罗蜜的十件事。’ 佛于是说了偈语: ‘这样的人布施一切都平等对待,也不期望得到任何回报; 守护经书和戒律,不敢违犯,也不会执着于求取功德。 修习忍辱和智慧,心中始终没有人我的分别念; 见到他人就更加精进,身、心、意都不执着。 修习一心和智慧,不住于任何事物,心中没有妄想; 能够降伏各种魔障,有智慧的人就有这样的功德。 九十六种外道,都不能动摇他; 能够知道自己的生死。'

English version To be far away from the realm of demons is to dwell in the realm of the Buddha. Those who practice diligently hold this belief, those who like to practice alone among the trees; Their practice is the path of liberation, and they will achieve ten merits. The Bodhisattva dwells in the right path, abandoning all that should not be done; Abandoning improper conduct, delighting in practicing the right path, constantly mindful of Samadhi (concentration), one can achieve these. Such a person will never have a time of greed and attachment, acting peacefully and virtuously, without greed; Body and mind can maintain clear awareness and uphold the precepts, those who practice Samadhi can achieve these. Walking fearlessly in the empty forest, such a person will never have a time of attachment and greed; All non-humans (referring to the eight classes of gods and dragons, etc.) will love and cherish him, like this, one renounces desires and practices alone. Ultimately, not attached to desires, nor greedy, thus one can escape the realm of demons; Then one can dwell in the realm of the Tathagata (Buddha), such a person has completely liberated from evil deeds. The Buddha told the youth: 'The Bodhisattva's practice of Prajna-paramita (perfection of wisdom) has ten things. What are the ten? First, giving away everything without expecting anything in return; second, no longer violating the precepts, not boasting about keeping the precepts; third, dwelling in the power of patience, without the thought of people in the mind; fourth, practicing diligently, not greedy for life; fifth, practicing meditation, but not attached to meditation; sixth, subduing various demonic obstacles; seventh, the ninety-six kinds of heretical paths (referring to various non-Buddhist thoughts prevalent at the time) cannot shake him; eighth, one can know the matters of birth and death oneself; ninth, having compassion for sentient beings; tenth, not seeking disciples, not hoping to become a Pratyekabuddha (solitary Buddha). Youth! These are the ten things of the Bodhisattva's practice of Prajna-paramita.' The Buddha then spoke in verse: 'Such a person gives equally to all, and does not expect any reward; Guarding the scriptures and precepts, daring not to violate them, nor attached to seeking merit. Practicing patience and wisdom, there is ultimately no thought of self and others in the mind; Seeing others, one becomes even more diligent, body, mind, and intention are not attached. Practicing one-pointedness and wisdom, not dwelling on anything, without delusion in the mind; Able to subdue various demonic obstacles, the wise one has such merit. The ninety-six kinds of heretical paths, all cannot shake him; Able to know one's own birth and death.' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 了生死事,  智慧者有是事。  于一切众生所,  有大悲哀之行;  于弟子缘一觉,  皆不念所求行。  所有皆施无希望,  为不犯戒不念恶;  行忍辱者无人想,  奉智慧者有是事。  精进为在空闲处,  禅无有想亦无住;  其人智慧降伏魔,  行智慧者有是事。  诸外道者不能动,  其人即为知生死;  于众人民有哀伤,  行智慧者有是事。  诸弟子及缘一觉,  于彼终无念求索;  其人住佛道如是,  行智慧者有是事。”

佛语童子:“多智菩萨有十事行。何等为十?一者知恶道,二者知善道,三者解疑事,四者为现直道,五者弃捐恶道,六者住正道,七者在甘露门,八者得坐佛树下,九者为人民现明道,十者不畏恶道。童子!是为多智菩萨十事行。”佛于是说偈言: “为知了诸尘劳,  悉晓了是两事;  其人便弃尘劳,  即随佛道之行。  慧而解诸狐疑,  便为现直见事;  则弃捐恶道行,  即得在于正道。  见在于甘露门,  则得坐佛树下;  为人民解现正,  令不畏诸恶道。  晓了无数尘劳法,  知解两事为如是;  其人便弃捐尘劳,  便于彼学上善法。  为一切人解其疑,  便为得见善正直;  即弃捐去 现代汉语译本 了生死这件事,只有具备智慧的人才能做到。 对于一切众生,怀有广大的慈悲之心; 对于声闻(Sravaka,听闻佛法而修行的弟子)和缘觉(Pratyekabuddha,无师自悟的修行者),不存任何求取之心。 所有的一切都布施出去,不求回报,为了不违犯戒律,不起恶念; 修习忍辱的人,心中没有人的分别念,奉行智慧的人才能做到这些。 精进修行是为了在清净的处所,禅定之中没有妄想也没有执着; 这样的人以智慧降伏魔障,奉行智慧的人才能做到这些。 各种外道(Tirthika,佛教以外的其他宗教或哲学流派)都无法动摇他,这样的人才能真正了解生死; 对于大众人民怀有悲悯之心,奉行智慧的人才能做到这些。 对于声闻和缘觉,最终都不会有任何求取之心; 这样的人安住于佛道,奉行智慧的人才能做到这些。" 佛告诉童子:‘多智菩萨有十种行为。是哪十种呢?一是了解恶道(Durgati,指地狱、饿鬼、畜生等不好的去处),二是了解善道(Sugati,指人、天等好的去处),三是解除疑惑,四是为众生指明正道,五是舍弃恶道,六是安住于正道,七是进入甘露门(Amrita-dvara,指涅槃之门),八是得以坐在菩提树下(Bodhi-vrksa,指佛陀成道之树),九是为人民指明光明的道路,十是不畏惧恶道。童子!这就是多智菩萨的十种行为。’佛于是说了偈语: ‘为了了解各种尘世的烦恼,完全明白善恶这两件事; 这样的人便能舍弃尘世的烦恼,从而追随佛道的修行。 以智慧来解除各种疑惑,便能为众生指明正确的见解; 就能舍弃恶道的行为,从而得以安住于正道。 见到通往甘露之门,就能坐在菩提树下; 为人民解释并指明正道,使他们不再畏惧各种恶道。 了解无数的尘世烦恼之法,明白善恶两件事就是这样; 这样的人便能舍弃尘世的烦恼,从而在那里学习最上等的善法。 为一切人解除他们的疑惑,便能使他们得见善良正直; 立即舍弃离去

English version To end the cycle of birth and death, only the wise can accomplish this. Towards all sentient beings, maintain the practice of great compassion; Towards Sravakas (disciples who learn by hearing the Dharma) and Pratyekabuddhas (those who attain enlightenment on their own), harbor no seeking mind. Give away everything without hope of return, to avoid breaking precepts and not generate evil thoughts; Those who practice patience have no concept of 'self' or 'other', only the wise can accomplish these. Diligent practice is for being in secluded places, in meditation without thought or attachment; Such a person subdues demons with wisdom, only the wise can accomplish these. Various Tirthikas (non-Buddhist religious or philosophical schools) cannot shake him, such a person truly understands birth and death; Towards the masses of people, have a compassionate heart, only the wise can accomplish these. Towards Sravakas and Pratyekabuddhas, ultimately there will be no seeking mind; Such a person abides in the Buddha's path, only the wise can accomplish these.' The Buddha told the youth: 'The wise Bodhisattva has ten practices. What are the ten? First, knowing the evil paths (Durgati, referring to hell, hungry ghosts, animals, etc.), second, knowing the good paths (Sugati, referring to humans, gods, etc.), third, resolving doubts, fourth, showing the right path to beings, fifth, abandoning the evil paths, sixth, abiding in the right path, seventh, entering the gate of nectar (Amrita-dvara, referring to the gate of Nirvana), eighth, being able to sit under the Bodhi tree (Bodhi-vrksa, referring to the tree under which the Buddha attained enlightenment), ninth, showing the bright path to the people, tenth, not fearing the evil paths. Youth! These are the ten practices of the wise Bodhisattva.' The Buddha then spoke in verse: 'In order to understand all worldly afflictions, to fully understand these two matters of good and evil; Such a person can abandon worldly afflictions, and thus follow the practice of the Buddha's path. With wisdom to resolve all doubts, one can show the right view to beings; One can abandon the practices of the evil paths, and thus be able to abide in the right path. Seeing the gate to nectar, one can sit under the Bodhi tree; Explaining and showing the right path to the people, so that they no longer fear the various evil paths. Understanding the countless laws of worldly afflictions, knowing that the two matters of good and evil are like this; Such a person can abandon worldly afflictions, and thus learn the supreme good Dharma there. Resolving the doubts of all people, one can enable them to see goodness and uprightness; Immediately abandon and leave -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 恶道事,  其多智常在道住。  常为住在甘露门,  得坐在无量佛树;  为无量亿人现明,  其人终不畏恶道。”
