English version The Sutra of the Four Dharmas for Bodhisattva Practice Spoken by the Buddha Translated by Tripitaka Master Divakara from India of the Great Tang Dynasty Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was in Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park in Śrāvastī, with a gathering of 1,250 great Bhikshus. At that time, the World Honored One told the Bhikshus: 'You have already obtained immeasurable benefits and should seek the unsurpassed Great Bodhi (Anuttarā-samyak-sambodhi) of the Buddha. Why? Because the Bodhi of the Buddha is unparalleled in the world and beyond. If beings in future generations aspire to seek the Bodhi of the Buddha, they should cultivate four dharmas. What are the four? First, they should generate the Great Bodhicitta (Mahābodhicitta), preferring to lose their lives rather than retreat; second, they should be close to good friends (Kalyāṇa-mitra), preferring to lose their lives rather than stay away; third, they should cultivate patience and gentleness, preferring to lose their lives rather than generate anger; fourth, they should rely on quiet places, preferring to lose their lives rather than think of chaos. Good men! These four dharmas are what Bodhisattva-mahāsattvas (Bodhisattva-mahāsattva) should study.' At that time, the World Honored One spoke the following verse: 'Those who desire to seek the supreme fruit, Should generate the Bodhi mind, Urge themselves on with diligent effort, And must rely on good spiritual friends. Patience is praised by the Buddha, Called the person of great strength, Secluded places are where sages dwell, Fearless, like a lion.' At that time, after the World Honored One spoke this verse, He further said: 'Those who have wisdom and great compassion, and can cultivate the above four kinds of dharmas, will be able to liberate themselves from birth and death, escape the net of Mara, attain Samyak-sambuddha (Samyak-sambuddha), and obtain Great Nirvana (Mahāparinirvāṇa).' At that time, after the World Honored One spoke this Sutra, those Bhikshus and Bodhisattvas, hearing what the Buddha had said, were all greatly delighted, accepted it with faith, practiced accordingly, paid homage, and departed.
