English version At that time, Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva (the Bodhisattva who observes the sounds of the world and rescues from suffering) said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One! Bodhisattvas do not need to study many Dharmas. World Honored One! If a Bodhisattva upholds one Dharma and understands it well, all the other Buddha-dharmas will naturally be as if in the palm of their hand. World Honored One! What is that one Dharma? It is called great compassion. If a Bodhisattva practices great compassion, all the Buddha-dharmas will be as if in the palm of their hand. World Honored One! For example, the jewel wheel ridden by a Chakravarti (wheel-turning king, a ruler possessing a wheel jewel), wherever it goes, all the four divisions of the army follow and obey. World Honored One! The Bodhisattva-Mahāsattva (a great-hearted Bodhisattva) is also like this; wherever they go with great compassion, those Buddha-dharmas follow great compassion and naturally go there. World Honored One! For example, when the sun rises, it brightly illuminates all things, and all beings have no difficulty in their work. World Honored One! The Bodhisattva-Mahāsattva is also like this; wherever the sun of great compassion shines upon the world, it is easy for beings there to cultivate all the bodhi-pakṣa-dharmas (factors leading to enlightenment). World Honored One! For example, all the senses take the mind (manas, consciousness) as their basis, and they can all freely grasp their objects. World Honored One! The Bodhisattva-Mahāsattva is also like this; relying on great compassion, they uphold all the bodhi-pakṣa-dharmas, and they naturally cultivate in each factor and in whatever can be done. World Honored One! For example, relying on the life-faculty (jīvitendriya) there are the other faculties. World Honored One! The Bodhisattva-Mahāsattva is also like this; relying on great compassion, there are all the other bodhi-pakṣa-dharmas. World Honored One! This is called the collection of supreme and wonderful Dharmas.' At that time, Dṛḍhamati Bodhisattva (the Bodhisattva of firm intention) said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One! All dharmas take straightforward mind and profound mind as their root. World Honored One! If a Bodhisattva does not have straightforward mind and profound mind, that Bodhisattva is far from the wonderful Dharmas of all the Buddhas. World Honored One! If a Bodhisattva who has achieved straightforward mind and profound mind does not have a Buddha to teach them, then in the sky above, and in trees, stone walls, and so on, a Dharma sound will naturally arise. World Honored One! A Bodhisattva with straightforward mind and profound mind can naturally remember in their mind, hear the Dharma sound, and follow all the wonderful Dharmas of all the Buddhas. Therefore, World Honored One! The Bodhisattva-Mahāsattva should cultivate straightforward mind and profound mind. World Honored One! Just as a person with feet can walk. Likewise, World Honored One! The Bodhisattva-Mahāsattva is also like this, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

有直心，深心，诸佛妙法自然修行。世尊！譬如有人具足上分则有寿命。世尊！菩萨摩诃萨亦复如是，若有直心、深心，如是菩萨则有诸佛菩提。世尊！如人有命则得诸事。世尊！菩萨摩诃萨亦复如是，若菩萨有直心、深心，是菩萨则得成就一切佛法。世尊！譬如有于可然，故有能然；离于可然，则无能然。世尊！菩萨摩诃萨亦复如是，若有直心、深心，则能炽然诸佛妙法；若离直心、深心，则不炽然诸佛妙法。世尊！譬如有云则能有雨。世尊！菩萨摩诃萨亦复如是，以有直心、深心，则有诸佛法雨。世尊！譬如树根腐败则不能生芽叶华果。世尊！菩萨摩诃萨亦复如是，若无直心、深心，则一切诸佛善法不复生长。是故，世尊！菩萨欲得诸佛菩提，应自善取直心、深心，善自守护直心、深心，善自清净直心、深心。世尊！是名胜妙法集。” 尔时，善护菩萨白佛言：“世尊！菩萨不须守护诸法。世尊！若菩萨但能善护自心，是菩萨善护自心故，则能成就诸佛妙法。世尊！若菩萨守护诸法，是菩萨则不能得无生法忍。世尊！若菩萨不护诸法而入禅定，是菩萨则无过失，亦不违于诸佛、菩萨，则能自心知诸佛法而不护自心。见如是心依因缘生，如是见一切诸法依因缘生；见自心如幻，如是见诸法如幻，而心非内、非 外、非二中间可得；如是见一切诸法，见即如心无于色相，不可得示、不可得见，无于形碍，不可执捉、不照、不住，见一切诸法其相如是。若能如是见者，是菩萨则能得于平等之心；以得平等心故，如是菩萨不复更得于法。是菩萨不复住、不复行，不取、不舍及以不求，以不求故而能不取，以不取故而无所著，以不着故而能不染，以是菩萨不染一切法。世尊！是名胜妙法集。” 尔时，虚空菩萨白佛言：“世尊！菩萨不作如是言：‘以何等言说能生他人瞋心？’菩萨不作如是言：‘以何等言说能生他人恼心？’菩萨不作如是言：‘以何等言说能令他人不知？’菩萨不作如是言：‘以何等言说无义虚妄？’菩萨不作如是言：‘以何等言说能令不生智慧光明？’菩萨不作如是言：‘以何等言说能令其心不生欢喜、亦不具足、及以耳闻不生喜乐？’菩萨不作如是言：‘以何等言说令破坏二处？’世尊！菩萨不作如是言：‘以何等言说令他不能解空？’何以故？世尊！一切言说，彼如是言说最为坚固：‘以何等言说令他能知于空？’世尊！若菩萨能知诸法空义，无心、无我，其相不二，远离二相而不舍一切众生所作事业，是名菩萨无障碍大悲。若菩萨行无障碍大悲，是菩萨能学诸佛所学；若学诸佛所学，是菩萨能知诸 现代汉语译本： ‘外’和‘非’这两者之间是可以领悟的；像这样看待一切诸法，所见如同心一般没有色相，无法指示、无法看见，没有形体阻碍，无法执取，不照见，不住留，看待一切诸法，它们的相状就是这样。如果能够这样看待，这位菩萨就能获得平等之心；因为获得了平等心，这样的菩萨不再执着于任何法。这位菩萨不住留、不行动，不取舍也不寻求，因为不寻求所以能够不执取，因为不执取所以没有执着，因为没有执着所以能够不被污染，因此这位菩萨不被一切法所污染。世尊！这叫做殊胜微妙的法集。 当时，虚空菩萨（Akasagarbha Bodhisattva）对佛说：‘世尊！菩萨不会说这样的话：‘用什么样的言语能够使他人产生嗔恨心？’菩萨不会说这样的话：‘用什么样的言语能够使他人产生恼怒心？’菩萨不会说这样的话：‘用什么样的言语能够使他人不明白事理？’菩萨不会说这样的话：‘用什么样的言语是无意义且虚妄的？’菩萨不会说这样的话：‘用什么样的言语能够使智慧光明不产生？’菩萨不会说这样的话：‘用什么样的言语能够使他们的心不生欢喜，也不具足，并且耳朵听了也不生喜乐？’菩萨不会说这样的话：‘用什么样的言语会破坏两个地方（指自己和他人）？’世尊！菩萨不会说这样的话：‘用什么样的言语使他人不能理解空性？’为什么呢？世尊！一切言语中，这种言语最为坚固：‘用什么样的言语能使他人了解空性？’世尊！如果菩萨能够了解诸法空性的意义，无心、无我，它们的相状不二，远离二相而不舍弃一切众生所作的事业，这叫做菩萨无障碍的大悲。如果菩萨行无障碍的大悲，这位菩萨就能学习诸佛所学；如果学习诸佛所学，这位菩萨就能了解诸

English version: One can attain understanding in the middle between 'outer' and 'non-outer'; seeing all dharmas in this way, the seeing is like the mind, without color or form, impossible to indicate, impossible to see, without physical obstruction, impossible to grasp, not illuminating, not abiding, seeing all dharmas, their characteristics are thus. If one can see in this way, that Bodhisattva can attain a mind of equality; because of attaining a mind of equality, such a Bodhisattva no longer clings to any dharma. That Bodhisattva does not abide, does not act, does not take, does not abandon, and does not seek; because of not seeking, one is able to not grasp; because of not grasping, one has no attachment; because of no attachment, one is able to not be defiled; therefore, this Bodhisattva is not defiled by any dharma. World Honored One! This is called the collection of supreme and wonderful dharmas. At that time, Akasagarbha Bodhisattva (虚空菩萨, Bodhisattva of Empty Space) said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One! A Bodhisattva does not say such words: 'With what kind of speech can one cause anger in others?' A Bodhisattva does not say such words: 'With what kind of speech can one cause annoyance in others?' A Bodhisattva does not say such words: 'With what kind of speech can one cause others to not understand?' A Bodhisattva does not say such words: 'With what kind of speech is meaningless and false?' A Bodhisattva does not say such words: 'With what kind of speech can one prevent the arising of wisdom light?' A Bodhisattva does not say such words: 'With what kind of speech can one prevent joy from arising in their minds, nor be complete, and also not generate joy and happiness upon hearing?' A Bodhisattva does not say such words: 'With what kind of speech can one destroy two places (referring to oneself and others)?' World Honored One! A Bodhisattva does not say such words: 'With what kind of speech can one prevent others from understanding emptiness?' Why? World Honored One! Among all speech, this speech is the most steadfast: 'With what kind of speech can one enable others to understand emptiness?' World Honored One! If a Bodhisattva can understand the meaning of the emptiness of all dharmas, without mind, without self, their characteristics are non-dual, being apart from the two characteristics without abandoning the activities undertaken by all sentient beings, this is called the Bodhisattva's unobstructed great compassion. If a Bodhisattva practices unobstructed great compassion, this Bodhisattva can learn what all Buddhas learn; if one learns what all Buddhas learn, this Bodhisattva can understand all --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

法如虚空；以知诸法如虚空故，是菩萨得虚空藏。是菩萨为欲舍者能舍诸舍，而于舍及悭不生二心；破戒、持戒，忍辱、瞋恨，精进、懈怠，散乱、禅定，愚痴、智慧，不生二想。是菩萨不复求诸佛妙法，不舍诸凡夫恶法。世尊！譬如一切诸水入于大海皆同一味，所谓咸味。世尊！菩萨亦复如是，入于第一义大海，所见一切诸法皆是一味，所谓真解脱味。世尊！譬如日光等照一切众生。世尊！菩萨智慧亦复如是，等照一切诸法。世尊！一切诸法不违于空。世尊！若菩萨能如是知，是菩萨能于一切法中见真菩提。若菩萨于一切法中见真菩提，是菩萨知所说言音皆是佛语。是菩萨无所著而说于法，是菩萨名为得无障碍乐说辩才。世尊！是名胜妙法集。”◎ ◎尔时，文殊师利菩萨白佛言：“世尊！世尊！世间之人颠倒妄取。若如是言：‘依波罗蜜故，菩萨得名。’此则不然。何以故？世尊！依于菩萨，诸波罗蜜得名故。世尊！若依波罗蜜菩萨得名者，亦应依诸众生名为菩萨，此义不然。何以故？世尊！菩萨生诸波罗蜜、菩萨知诸波罗蜜，以菩萨生诸波罗蜜为诸众生说。是故，如来常说：‘菩萨未曾生法而能生、未曾成法而能成、未曾说法而能说。’世尊！诸波罗蜜不能护菩萨，而菩萨能护诸波罗蜜，是故说菩萨能护 现代汉语译本：法就像虚空一样；因为知道一切法都像虚空一样，这位菩萨就获得了虚空藏（虚空般的智慧宝藏）。这位菩萨为了想要布施的人能够舍弃一切，但对于布施和吝啬不产生两种不同的心；对于毁犯戒律和持守戒律，忍辱和嗔恨，精进和懈怠，散乱和禅定，愚痴和智慧，都不产生两种不同的想法。这位菩萨不再寻求诸佛的微妙之法，也不舍弃凡夫的恶法。世尊！譬如一切水流入大海都只有一种味道，那就是咸味。世尊！菩萨也是这样，进入第一义（最高真理）的大海，所见到的一切法都是一种味道，那就是真解脱的味道。世尊！譬如日光平等照耀一切众生。世尊！菩萨的智慧也是这样，平等照耀一切法。世尊！一切法都不违背空性。世尊！如果菩萨能够这样理解，这位菩萨就能在一切法中见到真正的菩提（觉悟）。如果菩萨在一切法中见到真正的菩提，这位菩萨就知道所说的一切言语都是佛语。这位菩萨不执著任何事物而说法，这位菩萨被称为获得了无障碍的乐说辩才。世尊！这叫做殊胜微妙的法集。’ 尔时，文殊师利菩萨（Manjushri Bodhisattva）对佛说：‘世尊！世尊！世间之人颠倒妄取。如果这样说：‘依靠波罗蜜（pāramitā，到彼岸）的缘故，菩萨才得到这个名称。’这是不对的。为什么呢？世尊！因为依靠菩萨，诸波罗蜜才得到名称。世尊！如果依靠波罗蜜菩萨才得到名称，也应该依靠众生而称名为菩萨，这个道理是不成立的。为什么呢？世尊！菩萨产生诸波罗蜜、菩萨了解诸波罗蜜，因为菩萨产生诸波罗蜜才为众生宣说。所以，如来（Tathāgata，佛的称号）常说：‘菩萨未曾生法而能生、未曾成法而能成、未曾说法而能说。’世尊！诸波罗蜜不能保护菩萨，而是菩萨能够保护诸波罗蜜，所以说菩萨能够保护。

English version: The Dharma is like space; because the Bodhisattva knows all dharmas are like space, this Bodhisattva obtains the Treasury of Space (wisdom treasure like space). This Bodhisattva, for those who wish to give, is able to give all things, but does not generate two minds towards giving and stinginess; towards breaking precepts and upholding precepts, patience and anger, diligence and laziness, distraction and meditation, ignorance and wisdom, he does not generate two thoughts. This Bodhisattva no longer seeks the wonderful Dharma of all Buddhas, nor does he abandon the evil dharmas of ordinary beings. World Honored One! Just as all waters entering the great ocean have only one taste, which is the taste of salt. World Honored One! The Bodhisattva is also like this, entering the great ocean of the First Principle (highest truth), all the dharmas he sees are of one taste, which is the taste of true liberation. World Honored One! Just as the sunlight equally illuminates all sentient beings. World Honored One! The wisdom of the Bodhisattva is also like this, equally illuminating all dharmas. World Honored One! All dharmas do not contradict emptiness. World Honored One! If a Bodhisattva can understand in this way, this Bodhisattva can see true Bodhi (enlightenment) in all dharmas. If a Bodhisattva sees true Bodhi in all dharmas, this Bodhisattva knows that all the words spoken are the words of the Buddha. This Bodhisattva speaks the Dharma without attachment, this Bodhisattva is called one who has obtained unobstructed joyful eloquence. World Honored One! This is called the collection of supremely wonderful Dharmas.’ At that time, Manjushri Bodhisattva (Manjushri Bodhisattva) said to the Buddha: ‘World Honored One! World Honored One! People in the world are deluded and grasp wrongly. If it is said: ‘Because of relying on the pāramitā (pāramitā, to the other shore), the Bodhisattva obtains this name.’ This is not correct. Why? World Honored One! Because it is by relying on the Bodhisattva that the pāramitās obtain their names. World Honored One! If the Bodhisattva obtains his name by relying on the pāramitās, then one should also rely on sentient beings to be called a Bodhisattva, this reasoning is not valid. Why? World Honored One! The Bodhisattva generates the pāramitās, the Bodhisattva understands the pāramitās, because the Bodhisattva generates the pāramitās, he speaks for the sake of sentient beings. Therefore, the Tathāgata (Tathāgata, title of the Buddha) often says: ‘The Bodhisattva has not generated dharmas, yet is able to generate them; has not accomplished dharmas, yet is able to accomplish them; has not spoken dharmas, yet is able to speak them.’ World Honored One! The pāramitās cannot protect the Bodhisattva, but the Bodhisattva can protect the pāramitās, therefore it is said that the Bodhisattva can protect. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
