English version Wisdom. 'Śāriputra! This Dharmakāya (the body of the Dharma, the body of the Buddha's teachings) is a Dharma that neither arises nor ceases, it is neither of the past nor of the future, because it transcends duality; Śāriputra, to say it is not of the past is because it transcends the time of arising, to say it is not of the future is because it transcends the time of ceasing. Śāriputra, the Tathāgata's Dharmakāya is permanent, because it is not different from the Dharma, because it will not be exhausted. Śāriputra! The Tathāgata's Dharmakāya is constant, because it can always be relied upon, because it is equal in the future as well. Śāriputra! The Tathāgata's Dharmakāya is cool and refreshing, because it is the non-dual Dharma, because it has no discriminations. Śāriputra, the Tathāgata's Dharmakāya is unchanging, because it is not a Dharma of cessation, nor is it a Dharma of fabrication.' 'Śāriputra! It is this Dharmakāya that is entangled by countless afflictions exceeding the sands of the Ganges, following the world from beginningless time, drifting in the waves, going back and forth in the cycle of birth and death, and this is called sentient beings. Śāriputra! It is this Dharmakāya that is weary of the suffering of birth and death in the world, abandoning all desires and pursuits of existence, practicing the ten Pāramitās (ten perfections), gathering the eighty-four thousand Dharma gates, cultivating the Bodhi (enlightenment) practice, and this is called a Bodhisattva (an enlightenment-being).' 'Furthermore, Śāriputra! It is this Dharmakāya that is free from all worldly afflictions and entanglements, transcends all suffering, is free from all defilements of affliction, attains purity, abides in the pure Dharma of the other shore, reaches the place desired by all sentient beings, is ultimately enlightened in all realms, and there is no one more superior than it; free from all obstacles, free from all hindrances, attains the power of freedom in all Dharmas, and this is called Tathāgata, Arhat, Samyak-saṃbuddha (three titles of the Buddha). Therefore, Śāriputra! The Dharmakāya cannot exist apart from the realm of sentient beings, nor can the realm of sentient beings exist apart from the Dharmakāya; the realm of sentient beings is the Dharmakāya, and the Dharmakāya is the realm of sentient beings. Śāriputra! These two Dharmas have the same meaning but different names.' 'Furthermore, Śāriputra! Just as I said above, there are also three Dharmas in the realm of sentient beings, all of which are true and thus, without difference or distinction. What are these three Dharmas? First, the Tathāgatagarbha (the womb of the Tathāgata) corresponding to the original nature and the pure Dharma; second, the Tathāgatagarbha not corresponding to the original nature and the impure Dharma entangled by afflictions; third, the Tathāgatagarbha' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 未来际平等恒及有法。

“舍利弗当知，如来藏本际相应体及清净法者，此法如实不虚妄，不离不脱智慧清净，真如法界不思议法，无始本际来，有此清净相应法体。舍利弗，我依此清净真如法界，为众生故，说为不可思议法自性清净心。 “舍利弗当知，如来藏本际不相应体及烦恼缠不清净法者，此本际来离脱不相应烦恼所缠不清净法，唯有如来菩提智之所能断。舍利弗！我依此烦恼所缠不相应不思议法界，为众生故，说为客尘烦恼所染自性清净心不可思议法。 “舍利弗当知，如来藏未来际平等恒及有法者，即是一切诸法根本，备一切法、具一切法，于世法中不离不脱真实一切法，住持一切法、摄一切法。舍利弗！我依此不生不灭常恒清凉不变归依不可思议清净法界，说名众生。所以者何？言众生者，即是不生不灭常恒清凉不变归依不可思议清净法界等异名，以是义故，我依彼法说名众生。 “舍利弗！此三种法皆真实如，不异不差。于此真实如不异不差法中，毕竟不起极恶不善二种邪见。何以故？以如实见故。所谓减见、增见，舍利弗！此二邪见，诸佛如来毕竟远离，诸佛如来之所呵责。 “舍利弗！若有比丘、比丘尼、优婆塞、优婆夷，若起一见、若起二见，诸佛如来非彼世 现代汉语译本： 未来际平等恒及有法。 ‘舍利弗（Śāriputra，佛陀十大弟子之一，以智慧著称），你应该知道，如来藏（Tathāgatagarbha，如来之胎，一切众生皆具的成佛可能性）的本际相应体及清净法，这种法真实不虚妄，不离不脱智慧清净，真如法界（Dharmadhātu，一切法的本性）是不思议法，从无始本际以来，就有这种清净相应法体。舍利弗，我依据这种清净真如法界，为了众生的缘故，说为不可思议法自性清净心。’ ‘舍利弗，你应该知道，如来藏本际不相应体及烦恼缠不清净法，这种从本际以来离脱不相应烦恼所缠的不清净法，只有如来菩提智才能断除。舍利弗！我依据这种烦恼所缠不相应不思议法界，为了众生的缘故，说为客尘烦恼所染的自性清净心，是不可思议法。’ ‘舍利弗，你应该知道，如来藏未来际平等恒及有法，就是一切诸法的根本，具备一切法、具足一切法，在世间法中不离不脱真实一切法，住持一切法、摄持一切法。舍利弗！我依据这种不生不灭常恒清凉不变归依不可思议清净法界，说名为众生。为什么呢？因为所谓的众生，就是不生不灭常恒清凉不变归依不可思议清净法界等等的异名，因为这个缘故，我依据那个法说名为众生。’ ‘舍利弗！这三种法都是真实如是的，没有差异。在这种真实如没有差异的法中，毕竟不会生起极恶不善的两种邪见。为什么呢？因为如实见的缘故。所谓的减见、增见，舍利弗！这两种邪见，诸佛如来毕竟远离，诸佛如来所呵责。’ ‘舍利弗！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），如果生起一见、如果生起二见，诸佛如来不是他们的世

English version: The future equality, constancy, and existence of the Dharma. ‘Śāriputra (one of the ten principal disciples of the Buddha, known for his wisdom), you should know that the Tathāgatagarbha (the womb of the Tathāgata, the potential for Buddhahood inherent in all beings), in its fundamental corresponding essence and pure Dharma, this Dharma is truly real and not false, not separate from or detached from wisdom and purity, the Dharmadhātu (the realm of all dharmas) of true suchness is an inconceivable Dharma, from beginningless time, there has been this pure corresponding essence. Śāriputra, I rely on this pure true suchness Dharmadhātu, for the sake of sentient beings, I speak of it as the self-nature pure mind of inconceivable Dharma.’ ‘Śāriputra, you should know that the Tathāgatagarbha, in its fundamental non-corresponding essence and the impure Dharma entangled by afflictions, this impure Dharma, which from the beginning is detached and non-corresponding, entangled by afflictions, can only be severed by the Bodhi wisdom of the Tathāgata. Śāriputra! I rely on this inconceivable Dharmadhātu entangled by afflictions, for the sake of sentient beings, I speak of the self-nature pure mind defiled by adventitious afflictions as an inconceivable Dharma.’ ‘Śāriputra, you should know that the Tathāgatagarbha, in its future equality, constancy, and existence of the Dharma, is the root of all dharmas, possessing all dharmas, complete with all dharmas, in worldly dharmas, it is not separate from or detached from the true all dharmas, it sustains all dharmas, it encompasses all dharmas. Śāriputra! I rely on this unborn, un-perishing, constant, cool, unchanging, refuge-taking, inconceivable pure Dharmadhātu, and call it sentient beings. Why? Because what is called sentient beings is just another name for the unborn, un-perishing, constant, cool, unchanging, refuge-taking, inconceivable pure Dharmadhātu, and for this reason, I rely on that Dharma and call it sentient beings.’ ‘Śāriputra! These three kinds of Dharma are all truly thus, without difference. In this true thus, without difference Dharma, ultimately, the two kinds of extremely evil and unwholesome wrong views do not arise. Why? Because of seeing things as they truly are. Namely, the view of diminution and the view of augmentation, Śāriputra! These two wrong views are ultimately abandoned by all Buddhas and Tathāgatas, and are rebuked by all Buddhas and Tathāgatas.’ ‘Śāriputra! If there are bhikṣus (monks), bhikṣuṇīs (nuns), upāsakas (laymen), upāsikās (laywomen), if they give rise to one view, if they give rise to two views, the Buddhas and Tathāgatas are not their world.’ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

尊，如是等人非我弟子。舍利弗！此人以起二见因缘故，从冥入冥、从闇入闇，我说是等，名一阐提。是故舍利弗！汝今应学此法，化彼众生，令离二见，住正道中。舍利弗！如是等法，汝亦应学，离彼二见，住正道中。” 佛说此经已，慧命舍利弗，比丘、比丘尼、优婆塞、优婆夷，菩萨摩诃萨，及诸天、龙、夜叉、乾闼婆、阿修罗、迦楼罗、紧那罗、摩睺罗伽、人非人等，一切大众，皆大欢喜，信受奉行。 佛说不增不减经 现代汉语译本：‘世尊，像这样的人不是我的弟子。舍利弗（Śāriputra）！这些人因为生起二见（两种错误的见解）的缘故，从黑暗进入黑暗，从幽暗进入幽暗，我说这些人，名为一阐提（断绝善根的人）。所以舍利弗（Śāriputra）！你现在应当学习这个法，教化那些众生，使他们远离二见，安住在正道中。舍利弗（Śāriputra）！像这样的法，你也应当学习，远离那些二见，安住在正道中。’ 佛说完这部经后，慧命舍利弗（Śāriputra），比丘（bhikṣu）、比丘尼（bhikṣuṇī）、优婆塞（upāsaka）、优婆夷（upāsikā），菩萨摩诃萨（bodhisattva-mahāsattva），以及诸天（deva）、龙（nāga）、夜叉（yakṣa）、乾闼婆（gandharva）、阿修罗（asura）、迦楼罗（garuḍa）、紧那罗（kiṃnara）、摩睺罗伽（mahoraga）、人非人等，一切大众，都非常欢喜，相信并接受奉行。 《佛说不增不减经》

English version: ‘Venerable One, such people are not my disciples. Śāriputra! Because these people give rise to dualistic views, they go from darkness into darkness, from obscurity into obscurity. I say that these people are called icchantikas (those who have severed their roots of goodness). Therefore, Śāriputra! You should now learn this Dharma, and transform those sentient beings, causing them to be apart from dualistic views, and abide in the right path. Śāriputra! You should also learn such Dharmas, be apart from those dualistic views, and abide in the right path.’ After the Buddha spoke this sutra, the wise Śāriputra, bhikṣus (monks), bhikṣuṇīs (nuns), upāsakas (male lay devotees), upāsikās (female lay devotees), bodhisattva-mahāsattvas (great bodhisattvas), and all the great assembly of devas (gods), nāgas (dragons), yakṣas (demons), gandharvas (celestial musicians), asuras (demigods), garuḍas (mythical birds), kiṃnaras (celestial musicians), mahoragas (great serpents), humans and non-humans, were all greatly delighted, and faithfully accepted and practiced it.
