English version All dharmas are rooted in emptiness (Śūnyatā), because no views exist there; all dharmas are rooted in signlessness (Animitta), because no perceptions or observations exist there; all dharmas are rooted in wishlessness (Apranihita), because no afflictions of the three realms exist there; all dharmas are rooted in non-action (Anabhisaṃkhāra), because no agent exists there; all dharmas are rooted in non-self (Anātman), because no manifestation of self-action is seen there; all dharmas are rooted in being apart from sentient beings (Nirjīva), because no manifestation of sentient beings' actions is seen there; all dharmas are rooted in no-life (Nispudgala), because seeing life not existing there; dharmas are not born, because the view of permanence is not practiced there; dharmas do not cease, because the view of annihilation is not practiced there; dharmas are without substance, because the view of existence is not practiced there; dharmas are equal like Nirvāṇa (Nirvāṇa), because the view of departing from existence is not practiced there; dharmas are like Bodhi (Bodhi), because the view of seeing the Buddha is not practiced there; dharmas do not act, because the view of seeing the Dharma is not practiced there; dharmas do not unite, because the view of seeing the Saṃgha (Saṃgha) is not practiced there. World Honored One! This is called the collection of supreme and wonderful dharmas.' At that time, the Great Guide Bodhisattva (Mahānāyaka Bodhisattva) said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One! World Honored One! If a Bodhisattva wishes to first give great Bodhi to all sentient beings, and not to attain great Bodhi for themselves, if a Bodhisattva does all that they do for all sentient beings, and not for themselves, and does not see sentient beings, and does not abandon the great heart of loving-kindness and compassion, this is called a Bodhisattva.' 'World Honored One! What is the great loving-kindness and great compassion of the Bodhisattvas? World Honored One! If a Bodhisattva does not see sentient beings but does not abandon all good roots, cultivates those good roots and dedicates them to great Bodhi, this is called great loving-kindness; if a Bodhisattva does not abandon the affairs undertaken by all sentient beings, this is called great compassion. If a Bodhisattva sees that worldly dharmas are Nirvāṇa, but does not abandon diligent practice of the path of accumulation, this is called great loving-kindness; if one does not abandon sentient beings, this is called great compassion. If one generates the Bodhi mind oneself, this is called great loving-kindness; if one teaches and transforms all sentient beings, this is called great compassion. If one relinquishes all things, internal and external, this is called great loving-kindness; if one relinquishes internal and external good roots, for all sentient beings to attain Buddha Bodhi, dedicating them to the unsurpassed path, this is called great compassion.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version: Compassion: If one purely upholds all precepts, without destroying or violating them, this is called great loving-kindness (Mahā-maitrī); if one upholds pure precepts and increases the pure precepts of sentient beings, this is called great compassion (Mahā-karuṇā). If one cultivates peaceful endurance and joyfully practices it, this is called great loving-kindness; if one gives peaceful joy to all sentient beings, this is called great compassion. If one constantly cultivates diligent practice for oneself, in order to attain the unsurpassed Bodhi (enlightenment) of all Buddhas, this is called great loving-kindness; if one uses great diligence to enable all sentient beings to attain this diligence, this is called great compassion. If one constantly practices tranquility for oneself, this is called great loving-kindness; if one uses tranquil practice to enable all sentient beings to attain this tranquility, this is called great compassion. If one cultivates complete wisdom for oneself, this is called great loving-kindness; if one uses one's own wisdom to increase the wisdom of all sentient beings, this is called great compassion. If one does not cultivate, yet is not not cultivating, this is called great loving-kindness; if one does not act, yet is not not acting, this is called great compassion. If one arises and does not depart, this is called great loving-kindness; if one departs and does not move, this is called great compassion. If one speaks without words, this is called great loving-kindness; if one is attached without being bound, this is called great compassion. If one binds but cannot obtain, this is called great loving-kindness; if one enters Nirvana (extinction of suffering) without ceasing, this is called great compassion. If one extracts from one's own Śarīra (relics) without bones, flesh, tendons, or blood, this is called great loving-kindness; if the bones of his cultivated body neither increase nor decrease, this is called great compassion. If one gives alms without giving up the object, this is called great loving-kindness; if one protects all protections without achieving, this is called great loving-kindness; if one increases without being arrogant, this is called great compassion. World Honored One (Śakyamuni Buddha)! This is called the collection of supreme and wonderful Dharma. At that time, Bodhisattva Light Banner (Guāngmíng chuáng pú sà) said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One (Śakyamuni Buddha)! World Honored One (Śakyamuni Buddha)! Bodhisattvas regard the mind of tranquil concentration as the supreme activity. Why? Because when Bodhisattvas dwell in a tranquil mind, the wonderful Dharma of all Buddhas naturally appears. World Honored One (Śakyamuni Buddha)! Bodhisattvas respect tranquility, and because of the peace and joy of the concentrated mind, they attain Bodhi (enlightenment) and obtain various Dhāraṇī gates.' 'World Honored One (Śakyamuni Buddha)! What is the Bodhisattva's Dhāraṇī (total retention)? It is the ability to not forget whatever Dharma is heard, to receive and uphold whatever Dharma is heard, and to understand whatever Dharma is heard.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

、及诸众生亦令了知，是名陀罗尼。随何等陀罗尼不增长、不分别；随何等陀罗尼能受持八万四千法门而不忘失、而不遗漏；随何等陀罗尼知诸众生心心所行，以知诸众生心故，随彼彼众生如是如是说法；随何等陀罗尼能闻一切众生语言，以闻诸声闻凡夫声得于大悲、闻诸圣人声得于大慈；随何等陀罗尼闻取一句法能于无量劫说，如是菩萨乐说辩才不留、不尽、亦无际畔；随何等陀罗尼如实知诸言音；随何等陀罗尼知一切言说皆是佛语；随何等陀罗尼于十方世界诸佛、菩萨所住之处说法音声，所闻之者一切受持，如是菩萨于一佛所闻法、如是于第二佛所说法无有障碍。世尊！是名菩萨受持陀罗尼。 “世尊！菩萨得起陀罗尼，随何等陀罗尼现前说一切法如说一法、一字、一句。如是说一切法界，然是菩萨不生憍慢之心、不起放逸之行，得增上陀罗尼；随何等陀罗尼能说一切世间现前见法及一切世间现前见，得集陀罗尼；随何等陀罗尼能断一切众生疑惑及断一切烦恼，得为增上及集陀罗尼；随何等陀罗尼能令增长一切白法、能令尽一切烦恼，得行陀罗尼。随何等陀罗尼知一切法、知一切法光明，是菩萨如实知诸法而不分别，修行诸法而自身心实不修行、说于诸法而不说诸字、舍于诸法而亦不失、增长诸法而不增一 现代汉语译本： 并且让所有众生也能了解，这叫做陀罗尼（Dharani，总持）。什么样的陀罗尼是不增长、不分别的？什么样的陀罗尼能够受持八万四千法门而不忘失、不遗漏？什么样的陀罗尼能够知道所有众生的心和心中所想，因为知道众生的心，所以能针对不同的众生，以适合他们的方式说法？什么样的陀罗尼能够听懂一切众生的语言，因为听懂声闻（Sravaka，小乘修行者）、凡夫的声音而生起大悲心，听懂圣人的声音而生起大慈心？什么样的陀罗尼听取一句佛法，就能在无量劫的时间里演说，这样的菩萨拥有雄辩的才能，永不停止、永不穷尽、也没有边际？什么样的陀罗尼能够如实地了解各种语言的声音？什么样的陀罗尼知道一切言说都是佛语？什么样的陀罗尼对于十方世界诸佛、菩萨所居住的地方说法的声音，所有听到的都能接受并保持，这样的菩萨在一个佛那里听闻佛法，同样在第二个佛那里说法也没有障碍。世尊！这叫做菩萨受持陀罗尼。 世尊！菩萨得到起陀罗尼（Utpatti-dharani，生起陀罗尼），什么样的陀罗尼能够当下说一切法，就像说一法、一字、一句一样。这样说一切法界，然而这位菩萨不生起骄慢之心，不起放逸的行为，得到增上陀罗尼（Adhisthana-dharani，加持陀罗尼）；什么样的陀罗尼能够说一切世间当下可见的法和一切世间当下可见的事物，得到集陀罗尼（Samgraha-dharani，摄持陀罗尼）；什么样的陀罗尼能够断除一切众生的疑惑，以及断除一切烦恼，得到增上和集陀罗尼；什么样的陀罗尼能够增长一切善法，能够使一切烦恼消尽，得到行陀罗尼（Caritra-dharani，行持陀罗尼）。什么样的陀罗尼知道一切法、知道一切法光明，这位菩萨如实地了解诸法而不分别，修行诸法而自身心实际上没有修行，说诸法而不说诸字，舍弃诸法而也没有失去，增长诸法而不增加一。

English version: And also cause all beings to understand, this is called Dharani (总持). What kind of Dharani is non-increasing and non-discriminating? What kind of Dharani can uphold the eighty-four thousand Dharma doors without forgetting or omitting them? What kind of Dharani can know the minds and thoughts of all beings, and because of knowing the minds of beings, can teach the Dharma to each of them in a way that is suitable for them? What kind of Dharani can understand the languages of all beings, and because of hearing the voices of Sravakas (声闻, Hearers) and ordinary people, generate great compassion, and because of hearing the voices of sages, generate great loving-kindness? What kind of Dharani, upon hearing a single phrase of the Dharma, can expound it for countless kalpas (劫, eons), such that the Bodhisattva's eloquence is unceasing, inexhaustible, and without limit? What kind of Dharani can truly know all sounds of speech? What kind of Dharani knows that all speech is the Buddha's word? What kind of Dharani, regarding the sounds of Dharma teaching in the abodes of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in the ten directions, enables all who hear to receive and uphold them, such that the Bodhisattva, having heard the Dharma from one Buddha, can teach the Dharma at the place of the second Buddha without obstruction. World Honored One! This is called the Bodhisattva's upholding of Dharani. World Honored One! When a Bodhisattva attains Utpatti-dharani (起陀罗尼, arising Dharani), what kind of Dharani can immediately speak all Dharmas as if speaking one Dharma, one word, one phrase? Thus, speaking of all the Dharma realms, yet this Bodhisattva does not generate arrogance or engage in laxity, and attains Adhisthana-dharani (增上陀罗尼, empowering Dharani); what kind of Dharani can speak of all worldly phenomena that are presently seen and all worldly things that are presently seen, and attains Samgraha-dharani (集陀罗尼, gathering Dharani); what kind of Dharani can cut off all doubts of beings and cut off all afflictions, and attains both Adhisthana and Samgraha Dharani; what kind of Dharani can increase all wholesome Dharmas and cause all afflictions to be exhausted, and attains Caritra-dharani (行陀罗尼, acting Dharani). What kind of Dharani knows all Dharmas and knows the light of all Dharmas, such that the Bodhisattva truly knows all Dharmas without discrimination, cultivates all Dharmas but in reality does not cultivate with body and mind, speaks of Dharmas without speaking of words, relinquishes Dharmas without losing them, and increases Dharmas without adding one. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
