English version There is no doubt about success or failure, Only greedy for fame and profit, Even reading scriptures and living in tranquility, Seemingly practicing with few desires, Ultimately, still led by greed. If you want to abandon and stay away from greed, You cannot truly stay away from greed, If you understand the true Dharma (real law) of greed, Such a person can truly break away from greed. If you cannot comprehend the reality of the Dharma, Even if you uphold precepts for a long time, And attain various unobstructed Dhyanas (meditative states), You cannot enter the true taste of the Buddha's Dharma. Knowing that the Dharma has no self-nature, Not destroying all Dharmas, Not clinging to precepts or non-precepts, You can be liberated from the view of existence (attachment to existence). Because there is no self-nature of upholding precepts, You can truly understand the Dharma of upholding precepts, Understanding the true nature of precepts in this way, You will ultimately not violate the precepts. The Buddhas are the Dharma Kings, The Dharma treasury is inconceivable, With immeasurable skillful means, Guiding all kinds of sentient beings, Using the One-Aspect Dharma (non-dual Dharma), To lead them into the path of Nirvana (extinction of suffering). Ordinary people hear the Buddha say, 'No self' (no permanent self), 'no Dharma' (no independently existing Dharma), 'One Aspect' (equality of all Dharmas), 'Self-Nature Empty' (the essence of all Dharmas is emptiness), They do not believe and fall into a deep pit. Even a layperson enjoying desires, Who hears this Dharma without fear, Is superior to those ascetic monks (Dhuta practitioners) , Who dwell in the view of existence. The Buddhas of the ten directions now, Benefit all the worlds, Knowing that the Dharma is like the void, without reliance, They all attain Bodhi (enlightenment) because of this. If there are foolish and ignorant people, Who like to differentiate various Dharmas, When they hear this true Dharma, They will generate doubt and fear, Such people will, in immeasurable kalpas (aeons), Endure all kinds of suffering. 'When these verses were spoken, thirty thousand Devas (heavenly beings) attained Anutpattika-dharma-kshanti (the patient acceptance of the non-arising of phenomena), and eighteen thousand people exhausted their outflows and attained liberation. Immediately, the earth split open, and Bhikshu Sheng Yi (Victorious Intention Monk) fell into the great hell. Because of this karmic obstacle and sinful cause, for hundreds of thousands of millions of Nayuta kalpas (extremely long units of time), he will suffer all kinds of pain in the great hell; after emerging from hell, for seven hundred and forty thousand lifetimes he will constantly be slandered, and for countless hundreds of thousands of kalpas he will not even hear the name of the Buddha; only after this will he be able to encounter the Buddha again, leave home to study the Way but without aspiration or joy, in...' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

六十三万世常反道入俗；亦以业障余罪故，于若干百千世诸根闇钝。世尊！尔时喜根法师，于今东方过十万亿佛土，有国名宝庄严，于中得阿耨多罗三藐三菩提，号胜曰光明威德王如来、应供、正遍知，于今现在。其胜意比丘，今我身是。世尊！我未入如是法相门时，受如是苦分别苦颠倒苦，是故若发菩提心者、若发小乘心者，不欲起如是业障罪、不欲受如是苦恼者，不应拒逆佛法，无有处所可生瞋碍。” 佛告文殊师利：“汝闻是诸偈得何等利？” “世尊！我毕是业障罪已，闻是偈因缘故，在所生处利根智慧，得深法忍、得决定忍，巧说深法。” “文殊师利！为谁力故能忆如是无量阿僧祇劫罪业因缘？” “世尊！诸菩萨有所念、有所说、有所思惟，皆是佛之神力。所以者何？一切诸法皆从佛出。” 佛告文殊师利：“若得佛十力，若有闻是经者，等无有异；若得无生法忍，闻是经者亦等无异。” 文殊师利言：“如我知佛所说义，闻此经者得无量不可思议功德之利。” “文殊师利！如是如是！闻是经得无量不可思议功德之利，但佛不广说。何以故？不修道不精进者，如是恶人闻说是利则不能信受。” 尔时文殊师利法王子及弥勒菩萨白佛言：“世尊！护 现代汉语译本：六十三万世中，我常常违背正道而随顺世俗；也因为业障和残留的罪过，在若干百千世中诸根迟钝昏暗。世尊！当时的喜根法师，如今在东方经过十万亿佛土的地方，有一个国家名叫宝庄严，他在那里证得了阿耨多罗三藐三菩提（Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi，无上正等正觉），佛号胜曰光明威德王如来（Victorious Sun Light Majestic Virtue King Tathagata）、应供（Arhat）、正遍知（Samyak-sambuddha），现在仍然存在。而当时的胜意比丘，就是现在的我。世尊！我未进入这样的法相门时，承受了这样的苦分别苦和颠倒苦，所以如果发菩提心（Bodhi-citta，觉悟之心）的人、如果发小乘心的人，不希望生起这样的业障罪、不希望承受这样的苦恼，就不应该拒绝违逆佛法，没有任何地方可以生起嗔恨和障碍。" 佛告诉文殊师利（Manjushri）菩萨：‘你听了这些偈颂得到了什么利益？’ 文殊师利菩萨回答说：‘世尊！我消除这些业障罪之后，因为听了这些偈颂的因缘，在所出生的处所都具有敏锐的根性和智慧，获得甚深法忍（deep Dharma-kshanti，对佛法的深刻理解和忍耐）、获得决定忍（definitive kshanti，坚定的信念），能够巧妙地宣说甚深佛法。’ 佛告诉文殊师利菩萨：‘依靠谁的力量，你才能忆起这样无量阿僧祇劫（asamkhya kalpas，无数劫）的罪业因缘？’ 文殊师利菩萨回答说：‘世尊！诸位菩萨所有的念头、所有的话语、所有的思惟，都是佛的神力所加持。为什么这么说呢？因为一切诸法都是从佛而出的。’ 佛告诉文殊师利菩萨：‘如果有人证得佛的十力（ten powers of a Buddha），如果有人听闻这部经，两者所得利益是等同没有差异的；如果有人证得无生法忍（anutpattika-dharma-kshanti，对诸法不生不灭的深刻理解），听闻这部经所得利益也等同没有差异。’ 文殊师利菩萨说：‘如我所理解的佛所说之义，听闻此经的人能够获得无量不可思议的功德利益。’ 佛说：‘文殊师利！正是这样，正是这样！听闻这部经能够获得无量不可思议的功德利益，只是佛不广泛宣说。为什么呢？因为不修道不精进的人，这样的恶人听闻这些利益就不能相信和接受。’ 这时，文殊师利法王子（Dharma Prince Manjushri）和弥勒菩萨（Maitreya Bodhisattva）对佛说：‘世尊！请您守护...’

English version: For sixty-three hundred thousand lifetimes, I constantly turned away from the right path and followed worldly customs; also, due to karmic obstacles and remaining sins, my faculties were dull and dim in countless hundreds of thousands of lifetimes. World Honored One! The Dharma Master Joyful Root at that time, now in the east, passing beyond ten trillion Buddha lands, there is a country named Treasure Adornment, where he attained Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi (unsurpassed, complete and perfect enlightenment), and is known as the Victorious Sun Light Majestic Virtue King Tathagata (Victorious Sun Light Majestic Virtue King Thus Come One), Arhat (worthy of offerings), Samyak-sambuddha (perfectly enlightened), and is now present. The Bhikshu Superior Intent at that time is now myself. World Honored One! Before I entered such a Dharma-characteristic gate, I endured such suffering, discriminative suffering, and inverted suffering. Therefore, those who generate the Bodhi-citta (mind of enlightenment), those who generate the Hinayana mind, if they do not wish to create such karmic obstacles and sins, if they do not wish to endure such suffering and affliction, they should not reject or oppose the Buddha-dharma, for there is no place where anger and obstruction can arise.' The Buddha told Manjushri (gentle glory): 'What benefit did you receive from hearing these verses?' Manjushri replied: 'World Honored One! After I have exhausted these karmic obstacles and sins, because of the cause and condition of hearing these verses, in every place I am born, I will have sharp faculties and wisdom, attain deep Dharma-kshanti (patience with the Dharma), attain definitive kshanti (patience), and skillfully expound the profound Dharma.' The Buddha told Manjushri: 'By whose power are you able to remember such countless asamkhya kalpas (incalculable eons) of karmic causes and conditions of sin?' Manjushri replied: 'World Honored One! All the thoughts, all the words, and all the contemplations of the Bodhisattvas are due to the spiritual power of the Buddha. Why is that? Because all dharmas come from the Buddha.' The Buddha told Manjushri: 'If one attains the ten powers of a Buddha (ten powers of a Buddha), if one hears this sutra, there is no difference in the benefits received; if one attains Anutpattika-dharma-kshanti (patience with the non-arising of dharmas), there is also no difference in the benefits received from hearing this sutra.' Manjushri said: 'As I understand the meaning of what the Buddha has said, those who hear this sutra will obtain immeasurable and inconceivable meritorious benefits.' The Buddha said: 'Manjushri! It is so, it is so! Hearing this sutra brings immeasurable and inconceivable meritorious benefits, but the Buddha does not widely expound it. Why? Because those who do not cultivate the path and are not diligent, such evil people will not be able to believe and accept these benefits upon hearing them.' At that time, the Dharma Prince Manjushri (Dharma Prince Manjushri) and Maitreya Bodhisattva (Maitreya Bodhisattva) said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One! Please protect...' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

念是经于未来世后五百岁，当令此经普宣流布皆得受持，魔若魔天不得其便。” 尔时佛欲护念是法故左右顾视，即时十方恒河沙无量国土六种震动，如是则为护念是经，及十方恒河沙诸佛亦护念是经。说是经时十方国土中恒河沙等无量众生得无生法忍，何况得声闻无学者，何况住学地者。 尔时阿难即从坐起，偏袒右肩白佛言：“世尊！当以何名此经，云何奉持？” 佛告阿难：“是经名为‘诸法无行’。” 说是经已，文殊师利法王子、弥勒菩萨摩诃萨、师子游步菩萨摩诃萨、华戏慧天子等一切菩萨众，及阿难、天、人、阿修罗等，闻佛所说，皆大欢喜。 诸法无行经卷下 现代汉语译本：‘如果有人在未来末法时代的后五百年读诵此经，应当使这部经广泛传播，人人都能够接受和奉持，邪魔和魔天就无法得逞。’ 当时，佛陀为了护念这部佛法，向左右环顾，顿时十方如恒河沙数般无量国土发生六种震动。这就是护念这部经，十方如恒河沙数般的诸佛也都在护念这部经。在宣说这部经的时候，十方国土中如恒河沙数般无量的众生证得了无生法忍（Anutpattika-dharma-kshanti，对诸法不生不灭的深刻领悟），更何况是证得声闻乘无学果位的人，更何况是安住在有学地的人。 当时，阿难（Ananda，佛陀的十大弟子之一）立即从座位上站起来，袒露右肩，对佛陀说：‘世尊！这部经应当叫什么名字，我们应当如何奉持？’ 佛陀告诉阿难：‘这部经名为《诸法无行》（Sarva-dharma-apravrtti）。’ 说完这部经后，文殊师利（Manjusri，智慧的象征）法王子、弥勒菩萨摩诃萨（Maitreya Bodhisattva Mahasattva，未来佛）、师子游步菩萨摩诃萨（Simhavikridita Bodhisattva Mahasattva）、华戏慧天子（Pushpabhisamskusumitadhi-deva）等一切菩萨众，以及阿难、天人、阿修罗（Asura，一种非天神）等，听闻佛陀所说，都非常欢喜。 《诸法无行经》卷下

English version: ‘If someone recites this sutra in the future, in the last five hundred years of the Dharma-ending Age, this sutra should be widely propagated so that everyone can accept and uphold it. Then, demons and Mara heavens will not be able to take advantage of it.’ At that time, the Buddha, in order to protect and cherish this Dharma, looked to the left and right. Immediately, the ten directions, as numerous as the sands of the Ganges River, immeasurable lands, experienced six kinds of shaking. This is the protection and cherishing of this sutra, and the Buddhas in the ten directions, as numerous as the sands of the Ganges River, are also protecting and cherishing this sutra. While this sutra was being spoken, countless beings in the lands of the ten directions, as numerous as the sands of the Ganges River, attained Anutpattika-dharma-kshanti (无生法忍, the insight into the non-arising and non-ceasing nature of all dharmas), how much more so those who have attained the Arhatship of the Sravaka vehicle, how much more so those who abide in the stage of learners. At that time, Ananda (阿难, one of the ten great disciples of the Buddha) immediately rose from his seat, bared his right shoulder, and said to the Buddha: ‘World Honored One! What should this sutra be called, and how should we uphold it?’ The Buddha told Ananda: ‘This sutra is called Sarva-dharma-apravrtti (诸法无行).’ After this sutra was spoken, Manjusri (文殊师利, the symbol of wisdom), the Dharma Prince, Maitreya Bodhisattva Mahasattva (弥勒菩萨摩诃萨, the future Buddha), Simhavikridita Bodhisattva Mahasattva (师子游步菩萨摩诃萨), Pushpabhisamskusumitadhi-deva (华戏慧天子), and all the Bodhisattva assemblies, as well as Ananda, devas, humans, Asuras (阿修罗, a type of demigod), and others, hearing what the Buddha had said, were all greatly delighted.
