思惟、不分别何等何等众生乐何等何等法,菩萨随彼众生而为说法。菩萨说法不失字义,亦不重说、不迟疾说、不恶声说、不多少说,是名菩萨摩诃萨乐说力。 “善男子!何者是菩萨摩诃萨功德力?菩萨若于树下、若在自舍、若在空处,一切诸魔及其眷属诣彼菩萨为作破坏、为欲扰乱,然彼诸魔及其眷属不能坏乱彼菩萨行。彼诸魔众而自惊怖,破坏离散,自见摧灭,无有救者。彼诸魔众所持器仗,刀、剑、鉾、槊、长钩、钺斧、斗轮、罥索、弓箭、戈戟,如是等事犹如云雨,以彼菩萨摩诃萨功德力故,即时变成种种诸华,所谓曼陀罗华、摩诃曼陀罗华、卢遮华、摩诃卢遮华、陀罗华、摩诃陀罗华、瞻婆华、修摩那华、优波罗华、钵头摩华,如是等种种诸华如云雨下供养菩萨。彼诸魔众所有种种粗犷言语闻者惊怖,如是等声以是菩萨功德力故,即时变成种种赞叹微妙音声。是时菩萨于彼诸魔种种粗恶六尘境界,以是菩萨功德力故,彼恶境界即灭不现。是时菩萨即随心念而虚空中一切妙境即时现前,是菩萨依自功德增上因缘以彼虚空而为库藏,于自掌中成就一切殊胜财宝而现在前,悉令一切众生受用,是菩萨掌中胜妙珍宝皆由自力功德而成。善男子!若以劫寿说是菩萨功德之力不可得尽,是名菩萨摩诃萨功德力。 现代汉语译本 菩萨思索、不分别什么样的众生喜欢什么样的佛法,菩萨就顺应那些众生而为他们说法。菩萨说法不遗漏字句的意义,也不重复地说、不说太慢或太快、不用难听的声音说、不多说或少说,这叫做菩萨摩诃萨(Mahāsattva,伟大的菩萨)的乐说力。 ‘善男子!什么是菩萨摩诃萨的功德力?菩萨如果在树下、在自己的住所、或在空旷的地方,一切诸魔(Māra,障碍修行的恶神)和他们的眷属来到菩萨这里,想要破坏、想要扰乱,然而那些诸魔和他们的眷属不能破坏扰乱那位菩萨的修行。那些魔众自己感到惊恐害怕,破坏离散,自见被摧毁消灭,没有谁能救他们。那些魔众所持的器仗,刀、剑、矛、槊、长钩、钺斧、斗轮、罥索、弓箭、戈戟,像这些东西犹如云雨般袭来,因为那位菩萨摩诃萨的功德力,立刻变成种种鲜花,像是曼陀罗华(Mandārava,天界的鲜花)、摩诃曼陀罗华(Mahāmandārava,大曼陀罗华)、卢遮华(Ruci,光明的花)、摩诃卢遮华(Mahāruci,大光明花)、陀罗华(Dhāra,持有的花)、摩诃陀罗华(Mahādhāra,大持有的花)、瞻婆华(Campaka,金黄色的花)、修摩那华(Sumanas,令人愉悦的花)、优波罗华(Utpala,青莲花)、钵头摩华(Padma,红莲花),像这样种种的鲜花如云雨般降下供养菩萨。那些魔众所有种种粗犷的言语,听了让人惊恐害怕,像这样的声音因为这位菩萨的功德力,立刻变成种种赞叹的微妙音声。这时菩萨对于那些诸魔种种粗恶的六尘(色、声、香、味、触、法)境界,因为这位菩萨的功德力,那些恶劣的境界立刻消失不现。这时菩萨就随心念想,虚空中一切美妙的景象立刻显现眼前,这位菩萨依靠自己功德增上的因缘,把那虚空作为库藏,在自己的掌中成就一切殊胜的财宝而显现在前,全部让一切众生受用,这位菩萨掌中殊胜美妙的珍宝都是由自己的力量功德而成就。善男子!如果用一劫的时间来说这位菩萨的功德之力也说不完,这叫做菩萨摩诃萨的功德力。’

English version Contemplating and not discriminating what kind of beings delight in what kind of Dharma, the Bodhisattva preaches the Dharma according to those beings. The Bodhisattva's preaching does not lose the meaning of the words, nor does he repeat himself, speak too slowly or too quickly, speak with a harsh voice, or speak too much or too little. This is called the eloquence of a Bodhisattva-Mahāsattva (Mahāsattva, Great Being). 'Good man! What is the power of merit of a Bodhisattva-Mahāsattva? If a Bodhisattva is under a tree, in his own dwelling, or in an empty place, all the Māras (Māra, demons obstructing practice) and their retinues come to that Bodhisattva to cause destruction and disturbance, but those Māras and their retinues cannot destroy or disturb the Bodhisattva's practice. Those Māra hosts become frightened and scattered, seeing themselves destroyed and annihilated, with no one to save them. The weapons held by those Māra hosts, such as knives, swords, spears, lances, long hooks, axes, battle wheels, snares, bows and arrows, and halberds, fall like rain, but because of the power of merit of that Bodhisattva-Mahāsattva, they immediately transform into various flowers, such as Mandārava flowers (Mandārava, heavenly flowers), Mahāmandārava flowers (Mahāmandārava, great Mandārava flowers), Ruci flowers (Ruci, bright flowers), Mahāruci flowers (Mahāruci, great bright flowers), Dhāra flowers (Dhāra, holding flowers), Mahādhāra flowers (Mahādhāra, great holding flowers), Campaka flowers (Campaka, golden flowers), Sumanas flowers (Sumanas, pleasing flowers), Utpala flowers (Utpala, blue lotus flowers), and Padma flowers (Padma, red lotus flowers). Such various flowers fall like rain to offer to the Bodhisattva. All the coarse and frightening words of those Māra hosts transform into subtle and wonderful sounds of praise because of the Bodhisattva's power of merit. At that time, the Bodhisattva, regarding the various coarse and evil realms of the six sense objects (sight, sound, smell, taste, touch, and dharma) of those Māras, sees those evil realms immediately disappear because of the Bodhisattva's power of merit. At that time, the Bodhisattva immediately manifests all wonderful scenes in the empty sky according to his thoughts. Relying on the causal conditions of his own increasing merit, the Bodhisattva uses that empty space as a treasury, and achieves all supreme treasures in his palm, presenting them to all beings for their enjoyment. The supreme and wonderful treasures in the Bodhisattva's palm are all achieved through his own power and merit. Good man! If one were to speak for an eon about the power of merit of this Bodhisattva, it could not be exhausted. This is called the power of merit of a Bodhisattva-Mahāsattva.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

All other immeasurable powers of true practice of the Bodhisattva-Mahasattvas are included in these ten kinds of power of true practice.’ ‘Good man! What is the Bodhisattva-Mahasattva's power of practice of giving? Good man! The Bodhisattva-Mahasattva does not begrudge anything and gives it away; except for things that cause harm to sentient beings. The Bodhisattva practices giving according to whatever mind he has, and that mind of giving, except for the Buddhas, the Tathagatas (tathāgata, Buddha), and the Bodhisattvas who have attained patience, all other sentient beings cannot believe, let alone understand?
