诸法。世尊!诸波罗蜜不能住持菩萨,菩萨能住持诸波罗蜜,是故说菩萨能受持法。 “世尊!一切诸法无病,以自体无垢故。世尊!一切诸法不二,以远离众生、我身故;一切诸法无心,以远离可取舍故;一切诸法无意识,以无始发故;一切诸法无来相,以无间故;一切诸法无去,以不动故;一切诸法无死,以无命故;一切诸法不活,以本来不食故;一切诸法无物,以不和合故;一切诸法不减,以法界无差别故;一切诸法不可割截,以无形故;一切诸法如金刚,以实际平等故。 “世尊!知如是诸法,是菩萨能知诸法实体;若知诸法实体,是菩萨能知于空;若能知空,是菩萨不与他诤竞;若不与他诤竞,是菩萨能住沙门法中;若能住沙门法中,是菩萨则能不住;若能不住,是菩萨于诸漏境界不起于漏;若于诸境界不起于漏,是菩萨能无诸病;若无诸病,是菩萨名为如来;若菩萨得名如来,是菩萨不说二语;若不说二语,是菩萨不舍世间、不取涅槃,唯为一切众生而说远离一切分别虚妄烦恼。世尊!是名胜妙法集、不颠倒集、名为空集、无相无愿无行不生不灭集、无生法忍集、大乘集、转大法轮集、大波罗蜜集、诸大地集、一切诸法不颠倒集。 “世尊!诸菩萨依大法集修持受行,或于国土作转轮 现代汉语译本 ‘世尊!一切法(dharma)都是如此。诸波罗蜜(pāramitā,到彼岸)不能住持菩萨(bodhisattva),菩萨能住持诸波罗蜜,所以说菩萨能受持法。’ ‘世尊!一切诸法没有病,因为它们的自性没有污垢。世尊!一切诸法不是二元的,因为它们远离众生和我身;一切诸法没有心,因为它们远离可取和可舍;一切诸法没有意识,因为它们没有初始的生起;一切诸法没有来相,因为它们没有间隔;一切诸法没有去,因为它们不动;一切诸法没有死,因为它们没有命;一切诸法不活,因为它们本来不食;一切诸法没有事物,因为它们不和合;一切诸法不减少,因为法界没有差别;一切诸法不可分割,因为它们没有形状;一切诸法如金刚(vajra),因为实际是平等的。’ ‘世尊!知道这样的诸法,是菩萨能知诸法的实体;如果知道诸法的实体,是菩萨能知空性(śūnyatā);如果能知空性,是菩萨不与他人争竞;如果不与他人争竞,是菩萨能住在沙门(śrāmaṇa)法中;如果能住在沙门法中,是菩萨则能不住;如果能不住,是菩萨于诸漏(āsrava)境界不起漏;如果于诸境界不起漏,是菩萨能没有诸病;如果没有诸病,是菩萨名为如来(tathāgata);如果菩萨得名如来,是菩萨不说二语;如果不说二语,是菩萨不舍弃世间、不取涅槃(nirvāṇa),唯为一切众生而说远离一切分别虚妄烦恼。世尊!这名为胜妙法集、不颠倒集、名为空集、无相无愿无行不生不灭集、无生法忍集、大乘(mahāyāna)集、转大法轮集、波罗蜜集、诸大地集、一切诸法不颠倒集。’ ‘世尊!诸菩萨依靠大法集修持受行,或于国土作转轮。’

English version ‘Lord, all dharmas (phenomena, teachings) are such. The pāramitās (perfections) cannot sustain a Bodhisattva (enlightenment being), but a Bodhisattva can sustain the pāramitās. Therefore, it is said that a Bodhisattva can uphold the Dharma.’ ‘Lord, all dharmas are without disease, because their own nature is without defilement. Lord, all dharmas are non-dual, because they are far from beings and the self; all dharmas are without mind, because they are far from what can be taken or rejected; all dharmas are without consciousness, because they have no beginning; all dharmas have no coming aspect, because they are without interval; all dharmas have no going, because they are unmoving; all dharmas have no death, because they have no life; all dharmas are not alive, because they originally do not eat; all dharmas have no thing, because they are not combined; all dharmas do not diminish, because the Dharmadhātu (realm of phenomena) has no difference; all dharmas cannot be cut, because they have no form; all dharmas are like vajra (diamond), because reality is equal.’ ‘Lord, knowing such dharmas, the Bodhisattva can know the substance of all dharmas; if one knows the substance of all dharmas, the Bodhisattva can know emptiness (śūnyatā); if one can know emptiness, the Bodhisattva does not contend with others; if one does not contend with others, the Bodhisattva can abide in the śrāmaṇa (ascetic) Dharma; if one can abide in the śrāmaṇa Dharma, the Bodhisattva can then not abide; if one can not abide, the Bodhisattva does not generate outflows (āsrava) in the realm of outflows; if one does not generate outflows in all realms, the Bodhisattva can be without all diseases; if one is without all diseases, the Bodhisattva is called Tathāgata (Thus-Gone One); if the Bodhisattva obtains the name Tathāgata, the Bodhisattva does not speak two words; if one does not speak two words, the Bodhisattva does not abandon the world, nor take Nirvāṇa (liberation), but only speaks for all beings, being far from all discriminating, false, and afflictive emotions. Lord, this is called the collection of supreme and wonderful Dharma, the collection of non-invertedness, called the collection of emptiness, the collection of no-sign, no-wish, no-action, no-birth, and no-death, the collection of non-origination forbearance, the Mahāyāna (Great Vehicle) collection, the collection of turning the great Dharma wheel, the collection of pāramitās, the collection of all great grounds, the collection of non-invertedness of all dharmas.’ ‘Lord, the Bodhisattvas rely on the great Dharma collection to cultivate, uphold, receive, and practice, or turn the wheel in the land.’ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version: O King, upholding the ten wholesome paths of action can enable sentient beings to abide in the ten wholesome paths of action; or becoming a supreme leader, teaching and transforming sentient beings so that they can escape worldly afflictions; or becoming a great elder, able to make sentient beings detest worldly evils; or becoming Śakra(Indra, the king of gods), able to prevent the gods from becoming heedless; or becoming Brahmā(Brahma, king of the Form Realm), able to enable sentient beings to abide in meditation, the four immeasurables(loving-kindness, compassion, joy, and equanimity), and so on; or becoming the Four Heavenly Kings(Four Heavenly Kings, the guardian deities of Buddhism), able to prevent sentient beings from developing defiled minds towards all dharmas; or becoming a Śrāmaṇa(Śrāmaṇa, a renunciate practitioner), teaching and transforming sentient beings so that they do not hear evil dharmas; or becoming a Brahmin(Brahmin, the priestly class of ancient India), teaching and transforming sentient beings so that they know the place of tranquility, being tranquil themselves, enabling their family members to also abide in tranquility, being gentle themselves, enabling their family members to also attain gentleness, fully abiding in all places, thereby attaining great freedom; able to become a great Dharma master, because of being able to cut off all doubts of sentient beings; not generating timidity in all places, because all afflictions are exhausted. World-Honored One! This is called the supreme and wonderful Dharma collection. At that time, the World-Honored One said to Mañjuśrī Bodhisattva Mahāsattva(Mañjuśrī Bodhisattva Mahāsattva, great bodhisattva): 'Mañjuśrī! If there are sentient beings who hear the exposition of such a supreme and wonderful Dharma collection of Mañjuśrī, and hear the supreme and wonderful Dharma collections of the Bodhisattvas, and the supreme and wonderful Dharma collections of the Śrāvakas(Śrāvaka, a disciple who practices by hearing the Buddha's teachings) and are able to understand and believe, those sentient beings have deeply planted good roots, not merely having practiced offerings to one Buddha, not merely having planted good roots before one or two Buddhas. Why is that? Mañjuśrī! The profound Bodhi(Bodhi, enlightenment) of the Tathāgatas is a profound and wonderful realm that only the wise and those who can understand the Dharma can comprehend.' 'Mañjuśrī! This wonderful Dharma gate cannot be heard by sentient beings with meager good roots, and even if they hear it, they cannot believe it. If a Bodhisattva can realize it themselves, that Bodhisattva can believe it, and furthermore, because they are protected by good spiritual friends(Kalyāṇa-mitra, virtuous friends), that person can believe and uphold it, and can attain the patience with the unoriginated nature of phenomena(Anutpattika-dharma-kṣānti, realization of the truth of the non-arising and non-ceasing of all dharmas).' 'Mañjuśrī! Apart from this Dharma practice, no one can become a Buddha. Mañjuśrī! The Buddhas, Tathāgatas, as numerous as the sands of the Ganges River in the past, attained Buddhahood, and those Buddhas attained Anuttarā-samyak-saṃbodhi(Anuttarā-samyak-saṃbodhi, unsurpassed perfect enlightenment) by practicing such Dharma practices.'
