尔时世尊告善胜天子言：“汝见虚空莲花座上诸菩萨不？” 天子白言：“唯然，已见！” 佛言：“此诸菩萨皆是文殊师利之所化度，为听如是四法门故，从十方来，皆住一生补处，于十方刹当成阿耨多罗三藐三菩提，名号各异。” 天言：“世尊！此诸菩萨颇有算计知其数不？” 尔时世尊告舍利弗：“汝能知耶？” 舍利弗言：“世尊！我能于一念顷悉知三千大千世界一切星宿，不能百年算知此诸菩萨数量！” 佛告舍利弗：“假使微尘满阎浮提尚可数知，此菩萨数莫知边际。” 舍利弗言：“何处当有尔许佛刹，容是菩萨成正觉耶？” 佛言：“且止，莫作是说！诸世界中空无佛者，无量无边。” 舍利弗：“假使如来恒河沙劫久住于世，日日常说恒河沙法；说一一法，皆授恒河沙菩萨阿耨多罗三藐三菩提记；过于东方恒河沙佛刹，乃一菩萨于中成佛；如是东方无佛世界尚不能尽，何况十方一切刹土空无佛者。” “舍利弗！如是所有无量世界，皆是如来肉眼所见。其中所有一 现代汉语译本 ‘超越诸有之海，’（指超越所有存在领域） ‘智力自在者，’（指智慧和力量都完全自在的人）‘何故现微笑？’ ‘千辐网缦足，’（指具有千辐轮相的庄严双足）‘三界无伦匹，’（指在欲界、色界、无色界中无与伦比） ‘竭涸生死流，’（指使生死轮回干涸）‘断绝愚痴网，’（指断绝愚痴的罗网） ‘善哉大智者，’（赞叹佛陀为伟大的智者）‘愿说微笑义。’ 这时，世尊告诉善胜天子说：‘你看见虚空中的莲花座上的那些菩萨了吗？’ 天子回答说：‘是的，我已经看见了！’ 佛说：‘这些菩萨都是文殊师利（Manjushri）所教化度脱的，为了听闻这样的四法门，从十方而来，都住在候补佛位（一生补处），在十方佛土将成就阿耨多罗三藐三菩提（Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi，无上正等正觉），名号各不相同。’ 天子说：‘世尊！这些菩萨可以用算术计算得知他们的数量吗？’ 这时，世尊告诉舍利弗（Sariputra）：‘你能知道吗？’ 舍利弗回答说：‘世尊！我能在一念之间完全知晓三千大千世界的一切星宿，但不能用一百年的时间计算得知这些菩萨的数量！’ 佛告诉舍利弗：‘即使用微尘填满整个阎浮提（Jambudvipa，我们所居住的这个世界）还可以数清，这些菩萨的数量是无法知道边际的。’ 舍利弗说：‘哪里会有如此多的佛土，容纳这些菩萨成就正觉呢？’ 佛说：‘停止，不要这样说！诸世界中没有佛陀的世界，无量无边。’ 舍利弗：‘假使如来（Tathagata）像恒河沙数劫那样长久地住世，每天都说恒河沙数那么多的法；说每一种法，都给恒河沙数那么多的菩萨授阿耨多罗三藐三菩提的记别；经过东方恒河沙数那么多的佛土，才有一位菩萨在其中成佛；像这样东方没有佛的世界尚且不能穷尽，何况十方一切佛土没有佛陀的情况呢。’ ‘舍利弗！像这样所有无量的世界，都是如来用肉眼所见的。其中所有的一切’

English version ‘Having crossed the ocean of all existences,’ ‘O, you who are free in wisdom and power, why do you show a smile?’ ‘With feet adorned with a thousand-spoked wheel,’ ‘unparalleled in the three realms,’ ‘Having dried up the stream of birth and death,’ ‘having cut off the net of ignorance,’ ‘Excellent, O great wise one,’ ‘may you explain the meaning of your smile.’ At that time, the World-Honored One said to the Good Victory Deva: ‘Do you see those Bodhisattvas on the lotus seats in the sky?’ The deva replied: ‘Yes, I have seen them!’ The Buddha said: ‘These Bodhisattvas are all converted and liberated by Manjushri. In order to hear such four Dharma gates, they have come from the ten directions. They all dwell in the position of awaiting Buddhahood (Eka-jati-pratibaddha, one lifetime away from Buddhahood), and in the Buddha lands of the ten directions, they will attain Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi (unsurpassed complete enlightenment), with different names.’ The deva said: ‘World-Honored One! Can the number of these Bodhisattvas be calculated?’ At that time, the World-Honored One said to Sariputra: ‘Can you know?’ Sariputra replied: ‘World-Honored One! I can know all the stars in the three thousand great thousand worlds in a single thought, but I cannot calculate the number of these Bodhisattvas in a hundred years!’ The Buddha told Sariputra: ‘Even if the dust particles filled the entire Jambudvipa (the world we live in) could be counted, the number of these Bodhisattvas is beyond measure.’ Sariputra said: ‘Where would there be so many Buddha lands to accommodate these Bodhisattvas attaining perfect enlightenment?’ The Buddha said: ‘Stop, do not say such things! In the worlds, there are countless worlds without Buddhas.’ Sariputra: ‘Suppose the Tathagata (Thus Come One) dwells in the world for as long as the sands of the Ganges River, and every day speaks as many Dharmas as the sands of the Ganges River; for each Dharma spoken, he bestows predictions of Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi upon as many Bodhisattvas as the sands of the Ganges River; passing through as many Buddha lands as the sands of the Ganges River in the east, only one Bodhisattva attains Buddhahood in one of them; even the worlds without Buddhas in the east cannot be exhausted in this way, let alone the situation in all the Buddha lands of the ten directions where there are no Buddhas.’ ‘Sariputra! All such immeasurable worlds are seen by the Tathagata's physical eyes. Everything within them’ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 切众生，皆是如来心之所知。”

时诸大声闻及一切众会心生希有，作如是言：“我等今者咸得善利，值遇是师，成就广大福德、智慧！”时虚空中诸来菩萨皆从空下，顶礼如来及文殊师利，恭敬右绕，各还本土。 尔时善胜天子白文殊师利言：“善哉，尊者！作佛作事，乃能化是无量菩萨住大菩提。愿为我说，成就此等住菩提法。” 文殊师利言：“天子！成就菩萨住菩提法，有三十五。所谓：应常依时不失其节；应警策诸根；应摄心不动；应修诸波罗蜜；应随善方便；应发胜意乐；应建大慈；应起大悲；应不舍大乘；应远离小乘；应常谛实；应如实作；应护正法；应如闻行；应了众生性平等无二；应观破戒、持戒皆福田相；应觉诸魔业；应成满大愿；应于生死不疲厌；应降伏众魔；应知恩报恩；应入灭因法；应于解脱门不惊怖；应供养诸佛；应随众生所须皆作；应不染世法；应乐阿兰若；应行少欲；应念知足；应未度令度；应未解令解；应未安令安；应未涅槃令涅槃；应不断三宝种；应摄诸佛净刹功德庄严。是为成就菩萨三十五种住菩提法，应如是学。 “又复天子！菩萨应离十种慢心。所谓：我慢；多闻慢；辩才慢；利养名称慢；住阿兰若慢；头陀功德慢；富贵眷属慢；释、梵、护世 现代汉语译本：‘一切众生的心，都是如来所知晓的。’ 当时，所有的大声闻（Sravaka，听闻佛陀教诲的弟子）以及所有在场的听众都感到非常稀有难得，他们这样说道：‘我们今天都获得了极大的利益，有幸遇到了这位导师，成就了广大的福德和智慧！’这时，虚空中前来的菩萨们都从空中降下，顶礼如来以及文殊师利（Manjusri，智慧的象征），恭敬地右绕佛和文殊师利，然后各自返回自己的国土。 这时，善胜天子（Sunetra Deva，一位天神）对文殊师利菩萨说道：‘太好了，尊者！您做着佛所做的事，能够教化无量的菩萨安住于大菩提（Mahabodhi，伟大的觉悟）。希望您能为我讲解，成就这些菩萨安住菩提的方法。’ 文殊师利菩萨说道：‘天子！成就菩萨安住菩提的方法，有三十五种。那就是：应当经常依时而行，不失去时节；应当警策诸根（indriya，感觉器官）；应当摄心不动摇；应当修习各种波罗蜜（paramita，到达彼岸的方法，如布施、持戒等）；应当随顺善巧方便；应当发起殊胜的意乐；应当建立广大的慈心（maitri，给予快乐的愿望）；应当生起广大的悲心（karuna，解除痛苦的愿望）；应当不舍弃大乘（Mahayana，普度众生的佛教流派）；应当远离小乘（Hinayana，只求自度）；应当常常真实不虚；应当如实而行；应当守护正法（dharma，佛法）；应当如所听闻的去实行；应当了解众生的本性平等无二；应当观察破戒和持戒者都是福田之相；应当觉察各种魔业；应当成就圆满的大愿；应当对于生死轮回不感到疲厌；应当降伏各种魔障；应当知恩报恩；应当进入灭因之法；应当对于解脱之门不感到惊怖；应当供养诸佛；应当随顺众生所需而作；应当不被世间法所污染；应当喜爱寂静的处所（aranya，远离尘嚣的地方）；应当实行少欲；应当常常念知足；应当度化未被度化的人；应当使未理解的人理解；应当使未安乐的人安乐；应当使未涅槃（nirvana，寂灭）的人涅槃；应当不断绝三宝（佛、法、僧）的种子；应当摄取诸佛清净刹土的功德庄严。这就是成就菩萨的三十五种安住菩提的方法，应当这样学习。 ‘此外，天子！菩萨应当远离十种慢心。那就是：我慢（自高自大）；多闻慢（自以为博学）；辩才慢（自以为口才好）；利养名称慢（贪图名利）；住阿兰若慢（自以为隐居清净）；头陀功德慢（自以为苦行有功德）；富贵眷属慢（依仗财富和权势）；释、梵、护世

English version: ‘The minds of all sentient beings are known by the Tathagata (如来，the thus-gone one).’ At that time, all the great Sravakas (声闻，disciples who hear the Buddha's teachings) and all the assembled listeners felt a sense of rare wonder, and they said, ‘We have all gained great benefit today, having encountered this teacher and achieved vast merit and wisdom!’ Then, the Bodhisattvas (菩萨，enlightenment beings) who had come from the sky descended from the air, prostrated themselves before the Tathagata and Manjusri (文殊师利，the Bodhisattva of wisdom), respectfully circumambulated them to the right, and each returned to their own lands. At that time, the Deva (天神，divine being) Sunetra (善胜天子) said to Manjusri, ‘Excellent, Venerable One! You are doing the work of a Buddha, able to transform countless Bodhisattvas to abide in Mahabodhi (大菩提，great enlightenment). I wish you would explain to me the methods for achieving this abiding in Bodhi.’ Manjusri said, ‘Deva! There are thirty-five methods for achieving the Bodhisattva's abiding in Bodhi. They are: One should always act according to the proper time and not miss the season; one should be vigilant in guarding the senses (indriya, 诸根); one should restrain the mind and not be moved; one should cultivate the various Paramitas (波罗蜜，perfections, such as generosity, morality, etc.); one should follow skillful means; one should generate superior intention and joy; one should establish great loving-kindness (maitri, 慈心); one should arouse great compassion (karuna, 悲心); one should not abandon the Mahayana (大乘，the Great Vehicle); one should stay away from the Hinayana (小乘，the Lesser Vehicle); one should always be truthful and honest; one should act in accordance with reality; one should protect the Dharma (正法，the teachings of the Buddha); one should practice as one has heard; one should understand that the nature of all beings is equal and without duality; one should regard both those who break the precepts and those who uphold them as fields of merit; one should be aware of the activities of all demons; one should fulfill great vows; one should not be weary of birth and death; one should subdue all demons; one should know how to be grateful and repay kindness; one should enter the Dharma of the cause of cessation; one should not be frightened by the gate of liberation; one should make offerings to all Buddhas; one should act according to the needs of all beings; one should not be defiled by worldly dharmas; one should delight in the Aranya (阿兰若，secluded places); one should practice having few desires; one should always be mindful of contentment; one should liberate those who have not been liberated; one should help those who have not understood to understand; one should bring peace to those who are not at peace; one should lead those who have not attained Nirvana (涅槃，liberation) to Nirvana; one should not cut off the seed of the Three Jewels (三宝，Buddha, Dharma, Sangha); one should gather the meritorious adornments of the pure lands of all Buddhas. These are the thirty-five methods for achieving the Bodhisattva's abiding in Bodhi, and one should learn them in this way.’ ‘Furthermore, Deva! A Bodhisattva should abandon ten kinds of arrogance. They are: arrogance of self; arrogance of much learning; arrogance of eloquence; arrogance of gain and fame; arrogance of dwelling in the Aranya; arrogance of ascetic virtues; arrogance of wealth and family; arrogance of Sakra (释，帝释天), Brahma (梵，梵天), and the world-protectors --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
