菩萨如是成就境界、如是修行,于得菩提则为不难。” 善思惟天子言:“世尊!云何菩萨名为安隐?” 佛言:“天子!若菩萨常不舍离三昧,而不依三昧生。得三昧已,随有利益众生之处彼彼处生。天子!菩萨如是名为安隐。” 善思惟天子言:“世尊!云何菩萨名为寂静?” 佛言:“天子!若菩萨见一切真如法界实际,是菩萨处于大众而能寂静。应如是知,天子!是则名为菩萨寂静。天子!若菩萨不起二处心,名为菩萨寂静。” 天子言:“世尊!菩萨云何名为常在三昧?” 佛言:“天子!若菩萨心常不求一切诸事、不见一法可取、不见一法可舍,是菩萨随所见法悉知空寂,无有真实。天子!菩萨如是,名为常在三昧。” 善思惟天子言:“世尊!菩萨云何名为到一切处?” 佛言:“天子!若菩萨能见自身及诸众生平等空寂,天子!菩萨如是名为到一切处。” 善思惟天子言:“世尊!云何菩萨名为调伏?” 佛言:“天子!若菩萨一切分别所不能动,名为调伏。” 天子言:“云何菩萨名为得灭?” 佛言:“若菩萨不染、不净,名为得灭。” 善思惟天子言:“世尊!如我解佛所说义者,依止自心而得菩提。世尊 现代汉语译本:‘菩萨如果这样成就境界、这样修行,那么获得菩提就不是难事了。’ 善思惟天子问:‘世尊!什么样的菩萨可以称为安隐(an'yin,安全稳固)?’ 佛说:‘天子!如果菩萨常常不舍离三昧(sanmei,禅定),但不依赖三昧而生。得到三昧后,随顺于利益众生的地方而生。天子!这样的菩萨可以称为安隐。’ 善思惟天子问:‘世尊!什么样的菩萨可以称为寂静?’ 佛说:‘天子!如果菩萨见到一切真如(zhenru,事物的真实本性)、法界(fajie,诸法聚集的境界)实际(shiji,真实的体性),这样的菩萨即使身处大众之中也能保持寂静。应该这样理解,天子!这就是菩萨的寂静。天子!如果菩萨不起二处心(erchuxin,对立的心),就称为菩萨寂静。’ 天子问:‘世尊!菩萨如何才能称为常在三昧?’ 佛说:‘天子!如果菩萨的心常常不追求一切诸事,不见任何一法可以执取,不见任何一法可以舍弃,这样的菩萨随所见之法都知晓其空寂,没有真实。天子!这样的菩萨,就称为常在三昧。’ 善思惟天子问:‘世尊!菩萨如何才能称为到一切处?’ 佛说:‘天子!如果菩萨能见到自身及所有众生平等空寂,天子!这样的菩萨就称为到一切处。’ 善思惟天子问:‘世尊!什么样的菩萨可以称为调伏?’ 佛说:‘天子!如果菩萨不被一切分别所动摇,就称为调伏。’ 天子问:‘什么样的菩萨可以称为得灭?’ 佛说:‘如果菩萨不执着于染污,也不执着于清净,就称为得灭。’ 善思惟天子说:‘世尊!依我理解佛所说的意义,是依止自心而获得菩提。世尊!’

English version: 'If a Bodhisattva thus accomplishes realms and thus cultivates, then attaining Bodhi will not be difficult.' The Deva Good Thinker said: 'World Honored One! What kind of Bodhisattva is called secure and peaceful (an'yin)?' The Buddha said: 'Deva! If a Bodhisattva constantly does not abandon Samadhi (sanmei, meditative absorption), but does not rely on Samadhi for rebirth. Having attained Samadhi, they are reborn wherever there is benefit for sentient beings. Deva! Such a Bodhisattva is called secure and peaceful.' The Deva Good Thinker said: 'World Honored One! What kind of Bodhisattva is called tranquil?' The Buddha said: 'Deva! If a Bodhisattva sees the Suchness (zhenru, true nature of things), the Reality Limit (fajie, realm of all dharmas), the Actual (shiji, true essence) of all Dharmas, such a Bodhisattva can remain tranquil even when among a crowd. You should understand it this way, Deva! This is called the tranquility of a Bodhisattva. Deva! If a Bodhisattva does not give rise to a mind of duality (erchuxin, mind of opposition), this is called the tranquility of a Bodhisattva.' The Deva said: 'World Honored One! How can a Bodhisattva be called constantly in Samadhi?' The Buddha said: 'Deva! If a Bodhisattva's mind constantly does not seek all things, does not see any Dharma as graspable, and does not see any Dharma as rejectable, such a Bodhisattva knows that all Dharmas they see are empty and still, without reality. Deva! Such a Bodhisattva is called constantly in Samadhi.' The Deva Good Thinker said: 'World Honored One! How can a Bodhisattva be called reaching everywhere?' The Buddha said: 'Deva! If a Bodhisattva can see themselves and all sentient beings as equally empty and still, Deva! Such a Bodhisattva is called reaching everywhere.' The Deva Good Thinker said: 'World Honored One! What kind of Bodhisattva is called tamed and subdued?' The Buddha said: 'Deva! If a Bodhisattva cannot be moved by any discriminations, they are called tamed and subdued.' The Deva said: 'What kind of Bodhisattva is called attaining extinction?' The Buddha said: 'If a Bodhisattva is neither attached to defilement nor attached to purity, they are called attaining extinction.' The Deva Good Thinker said: 'World Honored One! As I understand the meaning of what the Buddha has said, it is by relying on one's own mind that one attains Bodhi. World Honored One!' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
