Bodhisattva-Mahasattvas (great Bodhisattvas) abiding in these hundred Samadhis, all their wisdom is like the sun in the sky, and the seas of all afflictions are like a slight mist. ‘Maitreya should know! Just as the Anavatapta Lake (Lake Anavatapta) gives rise to four great rivers, and these four great rivers divide into eight rivers, and all the streams of Jambudvipa (the southern continent) flow into the great ocean; because of the burning mountains, the great ocean does not increase, and because of the Vajra Wheel (diamond wheel), the great ocean does not decrease. Because this Vajra Wheel turns at all times, it causes the water of the great ocean to have the same salty taste. These hundred Samadhis are also like this. Maitreya should know! Like a Chakravartin (Wheel-Turning King), because of the power of the ten virtues, the seven treasures come in response. His golden wheel treasure is especially honored and subdues everything, his divine jewel fulfills the wishes of sentient beings without obstruction, and because of his thousand sons, he is majestic and adorned. When this Wheel-Turning King wishes to travel, hair grows beneath his feet, and he travels through the air.’ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 有十宝华以承王足。

“弥勒当知!此百三昧,从道种智十波罗蜜生,安隐不去,亦复不住寂静无为,住尔焰地。此尔焰地不熏不修,自然当得八万四千诸三昧门。此诸三昧,如金刚山不可沮坏,毕竟住于大空边际,亦复游入无相法界,于诸法中不见来去及住灭相,其心寂然,即得超入金刚三昧。此金刚三昧,如梵王顶上因陀罗宝珠,不见色相而有光明。金刚三昧,不见使海及使边际。   “弥勒当知!如自在天所有火珠无形无相,但有光明柔软可爱,能雨香华适诸天意,复能显发金色光明,映蔽一切诸天身光。弥勒当知!此火珠光无心无识,欲破于闇,以珠力故闇自然灭,诸天身色明倍于常。金刚三昧亦复如是,不灭结使使海自竭,不断生死三毒自灭。   “弥勒当知!譬如力士额上明珠及肘后珠,常以咒术隐蔽此珠不令他见。金刚三昧大光隐寂,不见结使使山自崩,不观烦恼灭四大种,诸爱河竭无常风断。弥勒当知!如师子王振威大吼,一切众兽自然摧伏。金刚三昧,从毗婆舍那出入舍摩他中,如金刚剑入金刚山不见其迹。是金刚三昧,不住不起、不灭不坏、不断不异、不脱不变,入慧明性举起甚深,一合相智不见身心法,然后成阿耨多罗三藐三菩提。此菩提智不离不生,无有众相不可沮坏,如金 现代汉语译本:有十种宝华承托着国王的足。 ‘弥勒(Maitreya,菩萨名)应当知道!这百种三昧(Samadhi,佛教中的一种精神集中状态),从道种智(Buddha-dhatu-jnana,成佛的种子智慧)和十波罗蜜(Paramita,到达彼岸的十种方法,即布施、持戒、忍辱、精进、禅定、智慧、方便、愿、力、智)产生,安稳而不离去,也不停留在寂静无为的状态,而是停留在尔焰地(Iryapatha,行住坐卧四威仪)。这尔焰地不需熏习和修行,自然能够获得八万四千种三昧门。这些三昧,如同金刚山(Vajra Mountain,坚固的山)一样不可摧毁,最终安住在广阔的虚空边际,也游入无相法界(Nirvikalpa-dharmadhatu,没有现象的法界),在一切法中不见来去以及住灭的相状,其心寂静,就能超越进入金刚三昧(Vajra Samadhi,坚固的三昧)。这金刚三昧,如同梵天王(Brahma,印度教的创造神)头顶上的因陀罗宝珠(Indra's jewel,帝释天的宝珠),不见色相却有光明。 ‘金刚三昧,不见烦恼之海以及烦恼的边际。 ‘弥勒应当知道!如同自在天(Isvara,湿婆神)所有的火珠,无形无相,只有光明柔软可爱,能够降下香花来满足诸天的心意,又能显发出金色的光明,遮蔽一切诸天的身光。弥勒应当知道!这火珠的光芒没有心识,想要破除黑暗,因为珠子的力量,黑暗自然消灭,诸天的身色比平常更加明亮。金刚三昧也是这样,不灭除结使(Kleshas,烦恼),烦恼之海自然枯竭,不断除生死,三毒(Three poisons,贪嗔痴)自然消灭。 ‘弥勒应当知道!譬如力士额头上的明珠以及肘后的珠子,常常用咒术隐藏这些珠子不让别人看见。金刚三昧的大光明隐藏寂静,不见结使,结使之山自然崩塌,不观察烦恼的灭除,四大种(Four elements,地水火风)自然消散,诸爱河枯竭,无常之风断绝。弥勒应当知道!如同师子王(Lion King)发出威猛的大吼,一切众兽自然摧伏。金刚三昧,从毗婆舍那(Vipassana,内观)出入舍摩他(Samatha,止)之中,如同金刚剑(Vajra sword,坚固的剑)进入金刚山,不见其痕迹。这金刚三昧,不住不生、不灭不坏、不断不异、不脱不变,进入智慧明性的状态,举起甚深的一合相智(Eka-rasa-jnana,统一的智慧),不见身心法,然后成就阿耨多罗三藐三菩提(Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi,无上正等正觉)。这菩提智不离不生,没有众多的相状不可摧毁,如同金

English version: There were ten precious flowers supporting the king's feet. 'Maitreya (Bodhisattva's name), you should know! These hundred Samadhis (a state of mental concentration in Buddhism) arise from the seed-wisdom (Buddha-dhatu-jnana) of the path and the ten Paramitas (perfections, namely generosity, morality, patience, diligence, concentration, wisdom, skillful means, vow, power, and knowledge), remaining secure and not departing, nor abiding in stillness and non-action, but dwelling in Iryapatha (the four modes of deportment: walking, standing, sitting, and lying down). This Iryapatha, without cultivation or practice, naturally attains eighty-four thousand Samadhi gates. These Samadhis, like Vajra Mountain (adamantine mountain), are indestructible, ultimately abiding at the vast edge of space, and also entering the realm of non-form (Nirvikalpa-dharmadhatu), seeing no coming, going, abiding, or ceasing in all dharmas, their minds tranquil, and thus transcending into Vajra Samadhi (adamantine concentration). This Vajra Samadhi is like Indra's jewel (the jewel of Indra, king of gods) on the crown of Brahma (the creator god in Hinduism), unseen in form but possessing light. 'Vajra Samadhi sees neither the sea of afflictions nor the edge of afflictions. 'Maitreya, you should know! Like the fire pearl possessed by Isvara (Shiva), without form or appearance, but with gentle and lovely light, able to rain down fragrant flowers to please the minds of the gods, and also able to manifest golden light, obscuring the bodily light of all the gods. Maitreya, you should know! The light of this fire pearl has no mind or consciousness, yet desiring to dispel darkness, the darkness naturally vanishes due to the power of the pearl, and the colors of the gods' bodies become brighter than usual. Vajra Samadhi is also like this, not extinguishing the Kleshas (afflictions), yet the sea of afflictions naturally dries up, not cutting off birth and death, yet the three poisons (greed, hatred, and delusion) naturally vanish. 'Maitreya, you should know! For example, a strong man has a bright pearl on his forehead and a pearl behind his elbow, and he always conceals these pearls with mantras, not letting others see them. The great light of Vajra Samadhi is hidden in stillness, not seeing the afflictions, yet the mountain of afflictions naturally collapses, not observing the cessation of afflictions, yet the four elements (earth, water, fire, and wind) naturally dissipate, the rivers of love dry up, and the winds of impermanence are cut off. Maitreya, you should know! Like the Lion King roaring with great power, all beasts naturally submit. Vajra Samadhi, emerging from Vipassana (insight meditation) and entering into Samatha (tranquility meditation), is like a Vajra sword (adamantine sword) entering Vajra Mountain, leaving no trace. This Vajra Samadhi neither abides nor arises, neither ceases nor decays, neither cuts off nor differs, neither escapes nor changes, entering the nature of luminous wisdom, raising up the profound Eka-rasa-jnana (wisdom of one taste), not seeing body, mind, or dharma, and then accomplishing Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi (unexcelled perfect enlightenment). This Bodhi wisdom neither departs nor arises, has no multitude of forms, is indestructible, like Vajra.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

刚山无能倾动。金刚三昧不退不没,入于毕竟大寂灭处,游戏自在三昧海中,诸佛如来以此三昧王三昧力故,普至一切诸空法界,而能游戏圣解脱处。”   佛说此语时,弥勒菩萨应时即得百法明门。时会大众诸菩萨等,身心欢喜,有得首楞严三昧,有得百法明门者,其数无量。梵释护世诸天子,雨诸天华作众伎乐,以供养佛。大众异口同音赞叹弥勒菩萨:“善哉善哉!善男子!乃能问于如来如是无上大智慧义,我等因汝得服无上甘露法味获大善利,唯愿尊者为我咨问,未来众生闻此法者得几所福。”   佛告大众:“谛听谛听,善思念之!乃往过去九十一劫,有佛世尊名曰宝华,十号具足。时宝华佛为诸菩萨,广说如是百三昧门。彼时会中有千比丘,闻佛世尊说是三昧,身心随喜,以随喜善根因缘力故,超越五百万亿阿僧祇劫生死之罪。彼时千比丘岂异人乎?于今贤劫千佛是也。”   佛告大众:“佛灭度后,若比丘、比丘尼、优婆塞、优婆夷,天龙八部及余一切,若得暂闻佛胜智慧,深心随喜不起诽谤,于百千劫终不堕三恶道,生生之处恒得值遇诸佛菩萨以为眷属。若闻此法不起疑谤,命终之后必定得生兜率天上,属值弥勒闻说甚深不退转地法轮之行。若有受持读诵解说书写,香华伎乐种种供养,此 现代汉语译本:坚固如刚山,不可倾动。金刚三昧(Vajra Samadhi,坚固不坏的禅定)不退失也不隐没,进入到究竟的大寂灭之处,在游戏中自在的三昧海中。诸佛如来凭借这种三昧王(Samadhi Raja,禅定之王)的三昧力,普遍到达一切诸空法界(Dharmadhatu,一切法的界限),并且能够在圣解脱之处自在游戏。 佛陀说这段话的时候,弥勒菩萨(Maitreya Bodhisattva,未来佛)立刻获得了百法明门(Hundred Dharmas Illumination Gate,通达百种法门的智慧之门)。当时法会上的大众菩萨们,身心欢喜,有的获得了首楞严三昧(Shurangama Samadhi,一切事究竟坚固的禅定),有的获得了百法明门,人数非常多。梵天(Brahma,色界天之主)、释提桓因(Śakra Devānām Indra,忉利天之主)、护世诸天子(Lokapala,守护世界的诸天神)等,散下各种天花,演奏各种天乐,来供养佛陀。大众异口同声地赞叹弥勒菩萨:‘太好了!太好了!善男子!你能够向如来请问这样无上的大智慧之义,我们因为你而得以服用无上的甘露法味,获得巨大的利益。只希望尊者能够为我们请问,未来众生听闻此法的人能够获得多少福报。’ 佛陀告诉大众:‘仔细听,仔细听,好好地思考!在过去九十一劫之前,有一位佛陀世尊,名叫宝华(Ratna-puṣpa,珍宝之花),十号具足(Tathāgata-arhat-samyak-saṃbuddha-vidyā-caraṇa-saṃpanna-sugata-lokavid-anuttara-puruṣa-damya-sārathi-śāstā-deva-manuṣyāṇāṃ-buddha-bhagavat,如来、应供、正遍知、明行足、善逝、世间解、无上士调御丈夫、天人师、佛、世尊)。当时的宝华佛为诸位菩萨,广泛地宣说这样的百三昧门(Hundred Samadhi Gates,通往百种禅定的法门)。当时法会中有千位比丘,听闻佛陀世尊宣说这些三昧,身心都感到随喜,因为随喜的善根因缘之力,超越了五百万亿阿僧祇劫的生死之罪。当时的千位比丘难道是其他人吗?就是现在贤劫(Bhadrakalpa,贤善劫)的千佛。’ 佛陀告诉大众:‘佛陀灭度之后,如果有比丘(bhikṣu,出家男众)、比丘尼(bhikṣuṇī,出家女众)、优婆塞(upāsaka,在家男众)、优婆夷(upāsikā,在家女众),天龙八部(Nāga,天龙等八种神道)以及其他一切众生,如果能够暂时听闻佛陀殊胜的智慧,内心深处感到随喜而不生起诽谤,在百千劫中终究不会堕入三恶道(three evil realms,地狱、饿鬼、畜生),生生世世都能够遇到诸佛菩萨作为眷属。如果听闻此法而不生起怀疑诽谤,命终之后必定能够往生到兜率天(Tuṣita Heaven,弥勒菩萨的净土),亲近弥勒菩萨听闻宣说甚深的不退转地法轮(Avivartaniya-cakra,不退转的法轮)之行。如果有人受持、读诵、解说、书写,用香、花、伎乐等种种供养,此人’
