English version The Mahayana Four Dharmas Sutra Taisho Tripitaka Volume 17, No. 0772 The Mahayana Four Dharmas Sutra No. 772 The Mahayana Four Dharmas Sutra Translated by Tripitaka Master Divakara of the Great Tang Dynasty from India Thus have I heard: At one time, the Bhagavan (世尊, World-Honored One) was in Śrāvastī (室罗筏), residing in the Jetavana Anāthapiṇḍada-ārāma (誓多林给孤独园), together with a great assembly of twelve hundred and fifty bhikṣus (苾刍, monks), and also with countless bodhisattva-mahāsattvas (菩萨摩诃萨, great bodhisattvas). At that time, the World-Honored One told the bhikṣus: 'There are four dharmas that a bodhisattva-mahāsattva should cultivate throughout their life, and should not abandon even if it means losing their life. What are the four? Bhikshus, a bodhisattva, throughout their life, even if faced with losing their life, must not abandon bodhicitta (菩提心, the mind of enlightenment); bhikshus, a bodhisattva, throughout their life, even if faced with losing their life, must not abandon a kalyāṇa-mitra (善知识, a virtuous friend or spiritual mentor); bhikshus, a bodhisattva, throughout their life, even if faced with losing their life, must not abandon kṣānti-rati (堪忍爱乐, patience and joy); bhikshus, a bodhisattva, throughout their life, even if faced with losing their life, must not abandon araṇya (阿练若, a secluded place for practice). Bhikshus! These four dharmas, a bodhisattva should uphold throughout their life, preferring to lose their life rather than abandon them.' At that time, the World-Honored One further elaborated on the meaning, speaking in verse: 'The wise and intelligent in the world, Should generate bodhicitta, Always contemplating all-wisdom, Constantly drawing near to virtuous friends, Dwelling in patience and joy, Relying on secluded places, Like a lion king, Far from all fear and terror.' 'Those who are wise and intelligent, cultivating these dharmas, will quickly transcend the net of all demons, and swiftly attain anuttarā-samyak-saṃbodhi (无上正等菩提, unsurpassed, right and perfect enlightenment).' At this time, after the Bhagavan spoke this sutra, all the bhikshus and others joyfully received and practiced it.
