English version ‘Furthermore, one obtains the unshared eloquence (辩才) – unshared eloquence means that with this eloquence, one can expound the Ten Powers (十力) of a Tathagata, the Four Fearlessnesses (四无畏), and the Eighteen Unique Qualities (十八不共法) of a Buddha.’ ‘Furthermore, one obtains the quiescence eloquence (寂灭辩才) – quiescence eloquence means that with this eloquence, one can expound the various Factors of Enlightenment (菩提分法).’ ‘Furthermore, one obtains the eloquence free from criticism (无讥嫌辩才) – eloquence free from criticism means that with this eloquence, one can cause sentient beings to rejoice and have faith.’ ‘Furthermore, one obtains the eloquence of all powers (诸力辩才) – the eloquence of all powers means that with this eloquence, one can completely subdue all demons, heretical doctrines of externalists.’ ‘Furthermore, one obtains the eloquence of skillful speaking (善说辩才) – eloquence of skillful speaking means that with this eloquence, one does not feel fear when teaching the Dharma to the four assemblies (比丘, 比丘尼, 优婆塞, 优婆夷).’ ‘World Honored One! This is called the Collection of Wonderful Dharma. World Honored One! Is the Dharma Collection that I am now speaking in accordance with what the Tathagata has spoken?’ The Buddha said, ‘Aniruddha (阿那律)! What you have spoken is in accordance with the Buddha's intention.’ At that time, the Venerable Rahula (罗睺罗) said to the Buddha, ‘World Honored One! A Bodhisattva who wishes to speak on the Dharma Collection should seek out those who uphold and maintain the Dharma. Why? Because one obtains the Dharma from those who uphold it, therefore one should seek them out. Only seeking the Dharma with a focused mind is most important. Why? Because one can obtain the Dharma by valuing the Dharma, not by valuing food can one obtain the benefits of the True Dharma; knowing that abandoning one's life will surely have future consequences, not by observation can one obtain rewards; one should always seek quiet places, not delight in noisy places, be close to those who are peaceful, not those who break the precepts, be close to those who are respectful, not those who are arrogant, be close to those who practice in peace and joy, not those who are harsh, be close to those with soft hearts, not those who are hard, be close to those with quiet minds, not those with attached minds, be close to those who reveal their transgressions, not those who conceal their evil deeds, be close to those who delight in all giving, not those who are stingy and jealous, be close to those who uphold the precepts, not those who break the precepts, be close to those who are patient, not those who are angry, be close to those who are diligent, not those who are lazy, be close to those who are in meditative concentration, not those with scattered minds, be close to those who are wise, not those who are foolish, be close to those who are learned, not those who are unlearned, be close to those who are mindful, not those who are misguided, be close to those who cultivate good deeds, not those who perform evil deeds, be close to...’ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version Those who love the Buddha's teachings do not love worldly affairs; those who are close to emptiness do not fall into wrong views; those who are close to upholding precepts are not self-indulgent. ‘Furthermore, World Honored One! If a person can uphold the precepts, that person possesses the Dharma. What are the precepts? World Honored One! All precepts are contained within three types of precepts. What are the three? They are the higher precepts, higher concentration, and higher wisdom. World Honored One! If a Bodhisattva can learn in these three types of precepts, know that this person has already learned in all the Mahayana precepts.’ ‘World Honored One! What is the higher precept of a Bodhisattva-Mahāsattva (great Bodhisattva)? World Honored One! A Bodhisattva can uphold the Prātimokṣa (rules of individual liberation) but does not consider upholding the Prātimokṣa as purity, because he relies on cultivating the Bodhisattva precepts; a Bodhisattva achieves all kinds of dignified conduct, but does not consider achieving dignified conduct as purity, because he abides in the dignified conduct of a Bodhisattva; even towards small offenses, he harbors fear, because he relies on the wisdom of a Bodhisattva. What is the wisdom of a Bodhisattva? It is that the Bodhisattva truly knows all dharmas, because he is not afraid of karmas and afflictions, this is called the wisdom of a Bodhisattva. What is the realm of a Bodhisattva? It is emptiness, not the realm of various discriminations. Knowing the equality of precepts to learn the precepts, knowing the equality of emptiness to learn the precepts, therefore it is said, knowing the equality of emptiness to learn the precepts. Knowing the equality of no-characteristics, knowing the equality of no-wishing, knowing the equality of no-action, knowing the equality of no-birth and no-death to learn the precepts, therefore it is said, knowing equality to learn the precepts. Furthermore, World Honored One! A Bodhisattva thinks thus: ‘I will now use this Prātimokṣa to cause all sentient beings to uphold it.’ This is called the higher precept learning of a Bodhisattva.’ ‘World Honored One! What is the higher concentration learning of a Bodhisattva? It is cultivating the four dhyānas (four meditations), the four samāpattis (four formless attainments), and samāpatti (attainment). The Bodhisattva also thinks thus: ‘I will now use this higher concentration learning to accomplish all sentient beings.’ This is called the higher concentration learning of a Bodhisattva.’ ‘What is the higher wisdom learning of a Bodhisattva? It is that the Bodhisattva learns the eighteen śūnyatās (eighteen emptinesses).

English version: ‘All beings know and see the eight emptiness laws.’ This is called the superior wisdom learning of a Bodhisattva (bú sà, a being on the path to Buddhahood). ‘World Honored One! These three learnings of a Bodhisattva can encompass all learnings.’ ‘Furthermore, World Honored One! If a Bodhisattva can protect sentient beings, such a Bodhisattva can uphold pure precepts; if one upholds pure precepts without being attached to upholding precepts, such a Bodhisattva relies on upholding precepts to satisfy the minds of all sentient beings.

Such upholding of precepts is called the Dharma Collection.’ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
