English version: Having received the prediction, attaining unsurpassed Bodhi (Enlightenment). With supreme wisdom, becoming a Dharma King in a certain direction, the Bodhisattva constantly cherishes this joy and desire. When will I be able to perform Buddha-deeds in the world? Attaining supernatural powers and wisdom, reaching the other shore? Name and fame spreading throughout the ten directions, receiving offerings, the Bodhisattva constantly cherishes this joy and desire. 'Good man! A Bodhisattva has four things he does not rejoice in. What are the four? Not rejoicing in praise and offerings of benefits gained from untrue merits; not rejoicing in gaining the wealth and happiness of gods and humans such as Śakra (Indra), Brahmā (Great Brahma), and the Lokapālas (Four Heavenly Kings); not rejoicing in all Śrāvakas (Arhats) and Pratyekabuddhas (Solitary Buddhas); not rejoicing in the superior offerings obtained by all non-Buddhist paths. These are the four things he does not rejoice in.' Then he spoke in verse: 'Not rejoicing in false fame and great offerings, likewise with regard to body, life, and wealth! Not rejoicing in Śakra, Brahmā, and the Lokapālas, these existences of wrong views are all impermanent. Not rejoicing in Śrāvakas and Pratyekabuddhas, unless they arouse the supreme Mahayana mind; Not rejoicing in worldly meditation and non-Buddhist paths, not rejoicing in Satkāya-dṛṣṭi (self-view) and Antagrahadṛṣṭi (extreme views).' 'Good man! A Bodhisattva has four dharmas that protect the mind of all-knowing wisdom. What are the four? Acting as one speaks, speaking as one acts, having equanimity towards all beings, generating extreme desire, namely for good dharmas. These are the four.' Then he spoke in verse: 'Acting as one speaks, speaking as one acts, treating beings with equanimity, generating extreme desire for the path; Dwelling well in these four supreme dharmas, constantly protecting the mind of enlightenment without forgetting.' 'Good man! A Bodhisattva has four dharmas that should be practiced. What are the four? Accumulating extensive learning, contemplating what has been heard, speaking about what has been heard, not regressing from tranquil meditation. These are the four.' Then he spoke in verse: 'Constantly diligently accumulating what has not been heard, constantly cultivating mindfulness of what has been heard; Constantly diligently speaking about what has been heard, constantly diligently cultivating meditation to attain liberation.' 'Good man! A Bodhisattva has two dharmas that fix the mind of all-knowing wisdom and practice giving. What are the two? Focusing the mind on meditation; giving without expecting rewards. These are the two.' Then he spoke in verse: 'Giving with a joyful heart, after giving, generating joy, not' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 望报； 一切悉舍向菩提， 定心施已证菩提。

English version: Aspiration for Reward: Abandoning everything, towards bodhi (bodhi, enlightenment), with a steadfast mind giving alms, ultimately attaining bodhi. 'Good man! A Bodhisattva has two qualities, with all-knowing wisdom as the foremost, practicing pure precepts. What are the two? One is having no intention to harm any sentient beings, and the other is generating great compassion for those who violate the precepts. These are the two.' Then he spoke in verse: 'Not generating a mind of harm, equally giving to beings of superior, middling, and inferior status; for those sentient beings who are evil and rebellious, increasing the compassionate mind even more.' 'Good man! A Bodhisattva has two qualities, with all-knowing wisdom as the foremost, practicing patience. What are the two? One is relinquishing one's own happiness, and the other is bestowing happiness upon others. These are the two.'

'Good man! A Bodhisattva has two qualities, with all-knowing wisdom as the foremost, practicing diligence. What are the two? One is having the bodhi mind as the foremost, and the other is not abandoning all sentient beings. These are the two.'

'Good man! A Bodhisattva accomplishes two qualities, with all-knowing wisdom as the foremost, practicing meditation. What are the two? One is skillfully entering meditation, and the other is emerging from meditation by the power of one's original vows. These are the two.' Then he spoke in verse: 'The courageous and vigorous constantly arise, the wise practice meditation; subduing all afflictions, constantly desiring to attain meditation. Relying on the power of original vows to emerge from meditation, one should become a guide for the world; possessing such virtues, one can obtain meditation.' 'Good man! A Bodhisattva accomplishes two qualities, with all-knowing wisdom as the foremost, possessing wisdom. What are the two? One is personally being free from all views, and the other is cultivating wisdom in order to sever all sentient beings' views. These are the two.' Then he spoke in verse: 'They are free from all views, cultivating actions that benefit sentient beings; with superior wisdom manifesting before them, they walk the path of wisdom securely.'

English version: ‘For the convenience of sentient beings, Bodhisattvas have four dharmas. What are the four? To have compassion for sentient beings and provide them with salvation, to have great compassion that is genuine and never weary, to rejoice in the Dharma and generate joy, and to abandon afflictions without fear. These are the four.’ Then he spoke in verse: ‘Cultivating loving-kindness without anger or resentment, generating compassion without weariness or exhaustion; generating joy because of the Dharma, abandoning afflictions without any difficulty.’ ‘Good man! Bodhisattvas have four dharmas that they never find satisfaction in. What are the four? Hearing the Dharma extensively without weariness, accumulating merit without complacency, practicing in secluded places without complacency, and dedicating merit to sentient beings without satisfaction. These are the four.’ Then he spoke in verse: ‘Seeking knowledge without satisfaction, accumulating blessings without complacency, practicing in secluded places without satisfaction; dedicating merit to sentient beings without satisfaction, Bodhisattvas are thus fourfold without satisfaction.’ ‘Good man! Bodhisattvas have four dharmas that are never enough. What are the four? This Bodhisattva remembers the Buddhas of the past, thinking: ‘These Buddhas all cultivated the most supreme Bodhi (Enlightenment), why am I not cultivating it now?’ Remembering the Buddhas of the future: ‘I will also enter into their number.’ Remembering the Buddhas of the present, thinking when remembering these Buddhas: ‘These Buddhas now completely know all dharmas.’ In these recollections, there is no timidity. These are the four.’ Then he spoke in verse: ‘Remembering the Buddhas of the past, without timidity, the mind grows; those Buddhas attained the supreme path, why can't I attain it? Remembering the future Sugatas (Tathagatas, the Well-Gone Ones), I am among their number; without timidity, redoubling diligence, I will certainly be among their number. Remembering the present teachers, when they practiced the Bodhisattva path in the past; I should remove all afflictions, and realize the quiescence of Bodhi. Understanding all dharmas, dwelling wherever one desires; ultimately not generating a timid mind, redoubling the generation of a competitive diligence.’ ‘Good man! Bodhisattvas have four dharmas that do not regress from the Mahayana (Great Vehicle, a school of Buddhism). What are the four? Their mind is like the earth, their mind is like water, their mind is like fire, their mind is like wind. These are the four.’ Then he spoke in verse: ‘Their mind is like earth, like water, the mind’ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 亦如风火； 作不作同等， 不得道不退。
