English version: Covering him (the Dharma master) with five hundred canopies, offering him five hundred exquisite and subtle garments, dwelling there day and night for seven days without daring to sit down, offering him what he needs for his well-being, providing for his needs in a timely manner. Such respect for the Dharma master is the most supreme, and the merit of such a venerable act is unsurpassed. At that time, the son of a wealthy and influential elder slandered and falsely accused the Dharma master Bianji Bodhisattva (Bianji Pusa), saying that he violated the precepts and did not follow the prohibitions. Because of this sin, he fell into hell for ninety thousand years; being born in the human realm, he fell into the barbarian lands in remote areas for fifty thousand lifetimes, covered by deluded wrong views and sins; for six hundred lifetimes, he would always be born blind, mute, and unable to speak; becoming a Shramana (monk) to cultivate the Way, he diligently practiced for seven hundred lifetimes, not sparing his life but unable to attain Dharani (陀罗尼, the power of total retention). Now he is reborn in my era, his mind is often scattered and unable to concentrate. Because of this reason, he is obscured by the remaining sins of past lives, so these clansmen cannot attain Dharani. Therefore, the wise ones entrust you, solemnly admonishing you, to proclaim this sutra to others when you hear it, to meet the Dharma master in person, to make offerings together, and not to be sorrowful or harbor malice, let alone give rise to evil thoughts from afar!' The Buddha said: 'Clansmen! Suppose someone were to take out the eyes of all living beings, although this sin is very heavy, it is still bearable until the end of the kalpa. If someone harbors malice towards a Dharma master, the kalpas of sin will exceed the former. Suppose someone harmoniously separates all beings who like to fight and quarrel, widely bringing them peace; if you see a Dharma master dwelling before you with a focused mind, these merits exceed harmonizing the fighting of beings and bringing them peace, a hundred times, a thousand times, ten thousand times, a hundred million times, a hundred million times a hundred million times, it is not as good as dwelling before a Bodhisattva with a joyful countenance. Why is that? Because those who slander the Dharma master slander the Tathagata (如来). Those who want to make offerings to the Tathagata should serve the Dharma master, those who want to respect the Tathagata should follow the Dharma master, those who want to pay homage to the Tathagata should pay homage to the Dharma master. Why is that? Because all Bodhisattvas are born from the Dharma, from all Bodhisattvas is achieved Sarvajna (一切智, all-knowing wisdom), because of Sarvajna is achieved the Buddha, the World Honored One. What the Bodhisattva initiates is the flourishing of the mind of the Way, not dwelling in desires, but in the afflictions of the world.' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 得稽首礼，由无所生则无所住，净修梵行见稽首礼，不以无色三昧正受礼于无色也。不以余殃而就所生，所愿自在，因其所愿而往生矣。已得解脱一切愚冥凡夫之行，欲令菩萨有余殃者，犹使虚空有其色像。譬如，族姓子！阿耨达龙王欲见诸龙游戏之时，教告一切诸龙眷属，皆依龙王而得安隐，常脱三痛能为无患。菩萨如是，舍一切乐、断三处罪，灭盖尘劳坏众苦恼，尔乃为安度脱众生。譬如蛟龙游于水中而无所畏；菩萨如是，游于三界亦无所惧。譬如蛟龙行于深水，见中所有恣意所欲，而不为水之所恼害；菩萨如是，游于盲冥凡夫之众，住其所行，惟睹慧议不违道行，不与愚人而俱同尘，不为三处所见没溺。是故行者，常当将护奉法安详，此为菩萨之所修业。” 佛时颂曰： “其欲归命佛， 敬承无量圣， 常供养菩萨， 钦奉于导师。 吾今所衣钵， 床榻诸坐具， 佛皆以此供， 听施志道者。 所上佛灯火， 以是灯给之， 如是成正觉， 诸圣中最上。 饮食车乘施， 斯等诸慧士， 为愚之导者， 将至甘露方。 一切众生类， 施天人间安， 以顺初发意， 不能报其恩。” 无怯行菩萨复白佛言：“惟天中天！宁有方便，使此十人族姓子等 { "translations": [ "现代汉语译本", "得稽首礼（一种敬礼方式），因为没有产生的地方就没有停留的地方，清净地修习梵行才能见到稽首礼的真谛，而不是用无色三昧（一种禅定状态）来接受稽首礼，也不是因为还有残余的业报才去往所生之处，而是因为所愿自在，根据自己的愿望而往生。已经解脱了一切愚昧凡夫的行为，如果说菩萨还有残余的业报，就好像说虚空有颜色和形状一样。譬如说，族姓子（对有德者的尊称）！阿耨达龙王（Anavatapta-nāgarāja）想要观看众龙游戏的时候，教导告知一切龙的眷属，都依靠龙王才能得到安稳，常常脱离三种痛苦，能够没有忧患。菩萨也是这样，舍弃一切快乐、断除三处的罪过，灭除覆盖的尘劳，摧毁各种苦恼，才能安稳地度脱众生。譬如蛟龙在水中游动而无所畏惧；菩萨也是这样，游于三界（欲界、色界、无色界）也没有什么可怕的。譬如蛟龙在深水中行走，看到水中所有的东西，随心所欲，却不会被水所恼害；菩萨也是这样，游于盲昧无知的凡夫之中，安住于自己的行为，只看到智慧的言论，不违背正道，不与愚人同流合污，不被三处（指贪、嗔、痴）所迷惑淹没。所以修行的人，应当常常守护奉行佛法，保持安详，这是菩萨所修的行业。”， "佛陀当时用偈颂说道：", "‘想要归命佛陀，敬奉无量圣贤，常常供养菩萨，钦佩侍奉导师。", "我现在所穿的袈裟和钵，床榻和各种坐具，佛陀都用这些来供养，听任布施给有志于道的人。", "所供奉的佛灯，用这灯火来供给他们，这样才能成就正觉，成为诸圣中最上者。", "饮食车乘的布施，这些有智慧的人，是愚昧者的引导者，将他们带到甘露（不死之药）的境界。", "一切众生，布施给他们天上的安乐和人间的安稳，因为顺应了最初的发心，所以无法报答他们的恩德。’", "无怯行菩萨（a Bodhisattva named Wuqiexing）又对佛说：‘世尊！有没有什么方便法门，使这十位族姓子等’" ], "english_translations": [ "English version", "Having made obeisance, because where there is no arising, there is no dwelling. Purely cultivating Brahma-conduct, one sees the obeisance. One does not receive obeisance in the realm of formlessness with the samadhi (a state of meditative consciousness) of formlessness. One does not go to where one is born because of remaining retribution, but because one's wishes are free, one goes to be born according to one's wishes. Having attained liberation from all the actions of ignorant and benighted common people, to say that a Bodhisattva has remaining retribution is like saying that empty space has color and form. For example, son of a good family! When the Anavatapta-nāgarāja (Dragon King of Anavatapta) wishes to see the dragons at play, he teaches and informs all the dragon retinues that they can all rely on the Dragon King to obtain peace and security, constantly escape the three pains, and be free from worries. The Bodhisattva is like this, relinquishing all pleasures, cutting off the sins of the three places, extinguishing the covering dust and toil, destroying all suffering and affliction, and then safely delivering all beings. For example, a dragon swims in the water without fear; the Bodhisattva is like this, wandering in the three realms (desire realm, form realm, formless realm) without fear. For example, a dragon walks in deep water, seeing everything in the water, doing as it pleases, without being harmed by the water; the Bodhisattva is like this, wandering among the blind and ignorant common people, abiding in his actions, only seeing wise discussions, not violating the path, not associating with foolish people and becoming defiled, and not being submerged by the three places (greed, hatred, delusion). Therefore, the practitioner should always protect and uphold the Dharma with peace and tranquility; this is the practice of the Bodhisattva.", "The Buddha then spoke in verse:", "‘Those who wish to take refuge in the Buddha, respectfully serve the immeasurable sages, constantly make offerings to the Bodhisattvas, and admire and serve the teachers.", "My robe and bowl, bed and various sitting mats, the Buddha uses all these to make offerings, allowing them to be given to those who aspire to the path.", "The lamps offered to the Buddha, use these lamps to provide for them, so that they can attain perfect enlightenment and become the highest among the sages.", "The giving of food, drink, and vehicles, these wise ones are the guides of the foolish, leading them to the realm of nectar (the elixir of immortality).", "Giving all beings the peace of heaven and the stability of the human realm, because it is in accordance with the initial aspiration, their kindness cannot be repaid.’", "The Wuqiexing Bodhisattva (a Bodhisattva named Wuqiexing) then said to the Buddha: ‘World Honored One! Is there any expedient means to enable these ten sons of good families, etc.’" ] } -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ，消除罪殃得至道乎？”

佛言：“设此十人一心受学佛所颁宣，修是法律复为沙门，勤讽诵斯总持章句，可成道耳。何谓总持章句？ “‘修清澄， 鲜洁句， 清且凉， 无所授， 亦无造， 无所得， 遵速疾， 取新生。 奉精进， 礼行步， 勤修行， 智晓了， 主观察， 无所起， 去患难， 游慕便。 举轻便， 普清净， 无不净。’” 佛告无怯行菩萨：“此等十人以讽诵是总持章句，而于七日修恩德无所下使无色，不怀瞋恚，安详不久游无所作，无瑕秽心平等舍所有，离五阴释不净意念佛。诸族姓子！设能如是奉遵道教，十方世界各有千佛，示现其前令自见之，克心自责归命圣尊，罪殃可除逮成道慧。诸族姓子！时闻佛教等顺法律，即舍家业出为沙门，讽诵此总持章句，如圣所诲，昼夜七日精进奉行，竟七日已，辄见十方各有千佛，分别为说消罪之业。应时皆得修普智行总持之门，超三十六劫生死之难，逮不退转，当成无上正真之道。” 佛告无怯行菩萨：“尔时，月施国王者，今现阿弥陀是；其辩积者，阿閦如来是；十长者子，今此十人族姓子是也。故，无怯行！其有志学菩萨乘者，殷勤奉修如佛所教，住于正法舍其无 现代汉语译本： ‘那么，怎样才能消除罪恶和灾祸，从而获得至高的智慧呢？’ 佛说：‘如果这十个人一心一意地学习佛所宣讲的教义，修习这些戒律并成为沙门（佛教出家修行者），勤奋地诵读这些总持（陀罗尼）的章句，就可以成就道业。什么是总持章句呢？’ ‘修持清净，鲜明洁净的语句，清净而凉爽，不执着于任何事物，也没有造作，没有所得，遵循快速的道路，获得新生。 奉行精进，礼敬行步，勤奋修行，智慧明了，主要在于观察，无所生起，远离患难，自由自在。 举止轻便，普遍清净，没有不净。’ 佛告诉无怯行菩萨（勇于精进的菩萨）说：‘这些人通过讽诵这些总持章句，在七天之内修习恩德，不役使奴婢，不怀有嗔恨，安详自在，不久就能达到无所作为的境界，没有瑕疵污秽的心，平等地舍弃所有，脱离五阴（色、受、想、行、识），消除不净的意念，忆念佛陀。各位善男子！如果能够这样奉行道教，十方世界各有千佛，会显现在他们面前让他们亲眼见到，克制内心，自我反省，归命于圣尊，罪恶和灾祸就可以消除，从而获得成就道业的智慧。各位善男子！当时听到佛教，平等地顺从戒律，就舍弃家业出家为沙门，讽诵这些总持章句，如圣人所教导的那样，日夜七天精进奉行，过了七天之后，就能见到十方各有千佛，分别为他们宣说消除罪业的方法。他们应时都能获得修习普智行的总持之门，超越三十六劫（极长的时间单位）生死轮回的苦难，获得不退转的境界，最终成就无上正真之道。’ 佛告诉无怯行菩萨说：‘当时的月施国王，就是现在的阿弥陀佛（西方极乐世界的教主）；当时的辩积，就是阿閦如来（东方妙喜世界的教主）；那十位长者的儿子，就是现在这十位善男子。所以，无怯行！那些有志于学习菩萨乘（大乘佛教）的人，殷勤地奉行修习如佛所教导的，安住于正法，舍弃他们的无

English version: 'How can one eliminate sins and calamities and attain the supreme wisdom?' The Buddha said, 'If these ten people wholeheartedly learn the teachings proclaimed by the Buddha, practice these precepts and become *shramanas* (Buddhist monks), diligently recite these *dharani* (mantra) verses, they can achieve enlightenment. What are these *dharani* verses?' 'Cultivate purity, bright and clean verses, pure and cool, without attachment to anything, without creation, without attainment, follow the swift path, obtain new life. Practice diligence, respect walking, diligently cultivate, wisdom understands, mainly observe, without arising, depart from suffering, freely roam. Lightly lift, universally pure, without impurity.' The Buddha told *Wuqiexing Pusa* (Fearless Practice Bodhisattva), 'These ten people, by reciting these *dharani* verses, cultivate virtue for seven days, without employing servants, without harboring anger, peacefully and calmly, soon reaching the state of non-action, without flaws or defilements, equally abandoning all possessions, separating from the five *skandhas* (form, feeling, perception, volition, consciousness), eliminating impure thoughts, and remembering the Buddha. O sons of good families! If they can thus follow the teachings, a thousand Buddhas in each of the ten directions will appear before them, allowing them to see for themselves, restrain their minds, reflect on themselves, and take refuge in the Holy Ones. Sins and calamities can be eliminated, and they can attain the wisdom of enlightenment. O sons of good families! Upon hearing the Buddha's teachings and equally following the precepts, they will abandon their family affairs and become *shramanas*, reciting these *dharani* verses, as taught by the sages, diligently practicing day and night for seven days. After seven days, they will see a thousand Buddhas in each of the ten directions, each explaining the means of eliminating sins. They will immediately attain the gate of *dharani* for cultivating universal wisdom, transcend the suffering of birth and death for thirty-six *kalpas* (extremely long periods of time), attain the state of non-retrogression, and ultimately achieve the unsurpassed, true, and perfect path.' The Buddha told *Wuqiexing Pusa*, 'The King *Yueshi* (Moon Giving) at that time is now *Amitabha Buddha* (the Buddha of the Western Pure Land); *Bianji* (Eloquent Accumulation) at that time is *Akshobhya Tathagata* (the Buddha of the Eastern Pure Land); the ten sons of the elders are now these ten sons of good families. Therefore, *Wuqiexing*! Those who aspire to learn the *Bodhisattva* vehicle (Mahayana Buddhism) should diligently practice as taught by the Buddha, abide in the true Dharma, and abandon their non- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 明，慎无伺求他人之短也。”
