等法，菩萨摩诃萨应当除灭及以守护？复有何法，如来克证及以觉知？如是二义惟愿为说。” 尔时，佛赞胜思惟言：“善哉，善哉！善男子！汝已成就无量福慧，复为如来加威神力，乃能问我如是之义。谛听，谛听！善思念之！吾当为汝分别解说。 “善男子！有一种法，菩萨摩诃萨应当除灭。何等一法？所谓欲贪。如是一法，菩萨摩诃萨应当除灭。善男子！复有一法，菩萨摩诃萨应当除灭。何等一法？所谓瞋恚。如是一法，菩萨摩诃萨应当除灭。善男子！复有一法，菩萨摩诃萨应当除灭。何等一法？所谓愚痴。如是一法，菩萨摩诃萨应当除灭。善男子！复有一法，菩萨摩诃萨应当除灭。何等一法？所谓我执。如是一法，菩萨摩诃萨应当除灭。善男子！复有一法，菩萨摩诃萨应当除灭。何等一法？所谓懈怠。如是一法，菩萨摩诃萨应当除灭。善男子！复有一法，菩萨摩诃萨应当除灭。何等一法？所谓睡眠。如是一法，菩萨摩诃萨应当除灭。善男子！复有一法，菩萨摩诃萨应当除灭。何等一法？所谓染爱。如是一法，菩萨摩诃萨应当除灭。善男子！复有一法，菩萨摩诃萨应当除灭。何等一法？所谓疑惑。如是一法，菩萨摩诃萨应当除灭。善男子！复有一法，菩萨摩诃萨应当除灭。何等一法？所谓无明。如 现代汉语译本：‘哪些法，菩萨摩诃萨（Bodhisattva-mahāsattva，伟大的菩萨）应当去除和守护？又有哪些法，如来（Tathāgata，佛的称号）已经证得和觉悟？希望您能为我解说这两种含义。’ 当时，佛赞叹胜思惟（Śrīmati-mati）说：‘好啊，好啊！善男子！你已经成就了无量的福德和智慧，又因为如来的加持和神力，才能问我这样的问题。仔细听，仔细听！好好思考！我将为你分别解说。’ ‘善男子！有一种法，菩萨摩诃萨应当去除。是哪一种法？就是所谓的欲贪。这样一种法，菩萨摩诃萨应当去除。善男子！又有一种法，菩萨摩诃萨应当去除。是哪一种法？就是所谓的嗔恚。这样一种法，菩萨摩诃萨应当去除。善男子！又有一种法，菩萨摩诃萨应当去除。是哪一种法？就是所谓的愚痴。这样一种法，菩萨摩诃萨应当去除。善男子！又有一种法，菩萨摩诃萨应当去除。是哪一种法？就是所谓的我执。这样一种法，菩萨摩诃萨应当去除。善男子！又有一种法，菩萨摩诃萨应当去除。是哪一种法？就是所谓的懈怠。这样一种法，菩萨摩诃萨应当去除。善男子！又有一种法，菩萨摩诃萨应当去除。是哪一种法？就是所谓的睡眠。这样一种法，菩萨摩诃萨应当去除。善男子！又有一种法，菩萨摩诃萨应当去除。是哪一种法？就是所谓的染爱。这样一种法，菩萨摩诃萨应当去除。善男子！又有一种法，菩萨摩诃萨应当去除。是哪一种法？就是所谓的疑惑。这样一种法，菩萨摩诃萨应当去除。善男子！又有一种法，菩萨摩诃萨应当去除。是哪一种法？就是所谓的无明。’

And what are the Dharmas that the Tathāgata (the Thus Come One) has realized and awakened to? I wish you would explain these two meanings to me.' At that time, the Buddha praised Śrīmati-mati (Excellent Thinking), saying, 'Excellent, excellent! Good man! You have already achieved immeasurable merit and wisdom, and furthermore, by the power and divine strength of the Tathāgata, you are able to ask me such questions. Listen carefully, listen carefully! Think well! I will explain it to you in detail.' 'Good man! There is one Dharma that a Bodhisattva-mahāsattva should eliminate. What is that one Dharma? It is called desire and greed.

是一法，菩萨摩诃萨应当除灭。善男子！如上所说如是等法，菩萨摩诃萨应当除灭。 “善男子！汝问于我，复有何法，菩萨摩诃萨应守护者，今为汝说。善男子！有一种法，菩萨摩诃萨常当守护。何等一法？所谓己所不欲，勿劝他人。如是一法，菩萨摩诃萨常应守护。何以故？若菩萨摩诃萨守护此法，即是守护诸佛如来一切戒藏。如诸菩萨，自爱命者则不应杀，自爱财者则不应盗，自爱妻者不应侵他，自爱实语不应诳彼，自爱和合不应间他，自爱正直不应邪绮，自爱柔软不应恶骂，自爱止足终不于他而生贪欲，自爱仁恕终不于他而生瞋恚，自爱正见终不教他令生邪见。善男子，如是菩萨发意说言，我今敬顺如来正教，应当勤心守护此法，是名菩萨摩诃萨守护一法。善男子！我见如是诸菩萨等，欲求无上大菩提者，悉为乐故而求菩提，无有为苦求之者也。善男子！是故我说己所不欲，勿劝他人。如是等法，菩萨摩诃萨应当守护。” 尔时胜思惟菩萨复白佛言：“世尊！何等之法，如来克证及以觉知？惟愿为我开演其义。” 佛言：“善男子！无有一法而是如来所觉所证。何以故？于诸法中无觉无证，此是如来所证所觉。善男子！一切诸法本无有法，如来觉证；一切诸法本无有灭，如来觉证；一切诸 现代汉语译本：有一种法，是菩萨摩诃萨（Bodhisattva-mahāsattva，伟大的菩萨）应当去除和灭绝的。善男子！就像上面所说的这些法，菩萨摩诃萨应当去除和灭绝。 善男子！你问我，还有什么法，是菩萨摩诃萨应当守护的，现在我为你解说。善男子！有一种法，菩萨摩诃萨应当常常守护。是哪一种法呢？就是自己所不想要的，不要劝别人去做。像这样一种法，菩萨摩诃萨应当常常守护。为什么呢？如果菩萨摩诃萨守护这种法，就是守护诸佛如来（Tathāgata，如来）的一切戒律宝藏。就像各位菩萨，自己爱惜性命就不会杀生，自己爱惜钱财就不会偷盗，自己爱惜妻子就不会侵犯他人，自己爱惜实话就不会欺骗别人，自己爱惜和睦就不会离间他人，自己爱惜正直就不会邪曲虚伪，自己爱惜柔和就不会恶语谩骂，自己爱惜知足就不会对别人产生贪欲，自己爱惜仁慈宽容就不会对别人产生嗔恨，自己爱惜正见就不会教导别人产生邪见。善男子，像这样菩萨发愿说，我现在恭敬顺从如来的正确教导，应当勤奋用心守护这种法，这叫做菩萨摩诃萨守护一种法。善男子！我看到这些菩萨等等，想要追求无上大菩提（Anuttarā-samyak-saṃbodhi，无上正等正觉）的人，都是因为快乐的缘故而求菩提，没有因为痛苦而求菩提的。善男子！所以我说自己所不想要的，不要劝别人去做。像这些法，菩萨摩诃萨应当守护。 这时，胜思惟菩萨（Paramārtha-cintā-bodhisattva，殊胜意义的思考菩萨）又对佛说：‘世尊！是怎样的法，是如来亲自证得和觉悟的呢？希望您为我开示演说其中的意义。’ 佛说：‘善男子！没有一种法是如来所觉悟和证得的。为什么呢？因为在一切法中没有觉悟没有证得，这就是如来所证得和觉悟的。善男子！一切诸法本来没有法，如来觉悟和证得；一切诸法本来没有灭，如来觉悟和证得；一切诸

English version: There is one dharma that a Bodhisattva-mahāsattva (great Bodhisattva) should eliminate and extinguish. Good man! Like the dharmas mentioned above, a Bodhisattva-mahāsattva should eliminate and extinguish. Good man! You asked me what other dharmas a Bodhisattva-mahāsattva should protect, and now I will explain them to you. Good man! There is one dharma that a Bodhisattva-mahāsattva should always protect. What is this one dharma? It is: 'Do not encourage others to do what you yourself do not desire.' This is the one dharma that a Bodhisattva-mahāsattva should always protect. Why? If a Bodhisattva-mahāsattva protects this dharma, it is equivalent to protecting all the precepts of the Buddhas Tathāgata (Thus Come One). Just as Bodhisattvas who cherish their own lives will not kill, those who cherish their own wealth will not steal, those who cherish their own wives will not violate others, those who cherish truth will not deceive others, those who cherish harmony will not sow discord, those who cherish integrity will not be crooked and deceitful, those who cherish gentleness will not curse harshly, those who cherish contentment will never be greedy towards others, those who cherish kindness and forgiveness will never be angry towards others, and those who cherish right views will never teach others to develop wrong views. Good man, in this way, a Bodhisattva makes a vow, saying, 'I now respectfully follow the correct teachings of the Tathāgata and should diligently protect this dharma.' This is called a Bodhisattva-mahāsattva protecting one dharma. Good man! I have seen that these Bodhisattvas and others who seek unsurpassed great Bodhi (Anuttarā-samyak-saṃbodhi, unsurpassed perfect enlightenment) seek Bodhi for the sake of happiness, and none seek it for the sake of suffering. Good man! Therefore, I say, 'Do not encourage others to do what you yourself do not desire.' These are the dharmas that a Bodhisattva-mahāsattva should protect. At that time, Paramārtha-cintā-bodhisattva (Bodhisattva of Supreme Meaningful Thought) again said to the Buddha, 'World Honored One! What are the dharmas that the Tathāgata has personally realized and awakened to? I hope you will explain their meaning to me.' The Buddha said, 'Good man! There is no dharma that the Tathāgata has awakened to and realized. Why? Because there is no awakening and no realization in all dharmas; this is what the Tathāgata has realized and awakened to. Good man! All dharmas originally have no dharma; the Tathāgata awakens to and realizes this. All dharmas originally have no cessation; the Tathāgata awakens to and realizes this.

法性离二边，如来觉证；一切诸法本无有实，如来觉证。 “复次善男子！一切诸法，皆从自业因缘力故而得生起；而是因缘，念念不住犹如电光，如是业缘，如来觉证；是故我说以因缘故而诸法生，以因缘故而诸法灭，若离因缘，则无业报。如是等事，如来觉知。善男子！如是所觉一切法性，是名遍照光明之藏。善男子！何故法性名之为藏？以诸众生世出世智，皆依此藏而得生故。如以实智观彼法性，智依彼生，故名为藏。 “复次善男子！我亦复说一切诸法如幻如焰，如水中月，如是等事，如来觉证；又善男子！诸法性相，一味解脱，如是等事，如来觉证。善男子！如是解脱一味法性，是名遍照光明之藏。 “复次善男子！又有一法如来觉证。何等一法？所谓诸法不生不灭、不增不减、不来不去、不取不舍、非因非缘，如是等法，如来觉证。 “复次善男子！如来了知一切诸法，无有自性不可为喻，无有文字之所辩说，如是之法如来觉证。善男子！如上所说如是之法，悉是如来所觉所证。” 当佛说此遍照光明藏无字法时，有微尘数诸菩萨等得住十地；又有无量诸菩萨等住于诸地；又有无量诸菩萨等证得百千诸大三昧；又有无量尘数众生发阿耨多罗三藐三菩提心；又有无量无边众 现代汉语译本：法性远离二边，这是如来所觉悟和证实的；一切诸法原本没有实体，这也是如来所觉悟和证实的。 ‘再者，善男子！一切诸法，都是从各自的业因缘的力量而生起的；而这些因缘，念念不停留，就像闪电的光芒一样，这样的业缘，是如来所觉悟和证实的；因此我说因为因缘的缘故，诸法产生，因为因缘的缘故，诸法灭亡，如果离开因缘，就没有业报。像这样的事情，如来都知道。善男子！像这样所觉悟的一切法性，就叫做遍照光明之藏。善男子！为什么法性被称为藏呢？因为一切众生的世间和出世间的智慧，都依靠这个藏而产生。好像用真实的智慧观察那个法性，智慧依靠它而生，所以叫做藏。 ‘再者，善男子！我也说过一切诸法如幻如焰，如水中月，像这样的事情，如来觉悟和证实；还有，善男子！诸法的性相，都是同一解脱的，像这样的事情，如来觉悟和证实。善男子！像这样解脱同一的法性，就叫做遍照光明之藏。 ‘再者，善男子！还有一种法是如来觉悟和证实的。什么是一种法呢？就是诸法不生不灭、不增不减、不来不去、不取不舍、非因非缘，像这样的法，如来觉悟和证实。 ‘再者，善男子！如来了解一切诸法，没有自性，不可比喻，没有文字可以辩说，像这样的法，如来觉悟和证实。善男子！像上面所说的这样的法，都是如来所觉悟和证实的。’ 当佛陀宣说这遍照光明藏的无字法时，有微尘数（极多的数量）的菩萨等证得十地（菩萨修行的最高阶段）；又有无量的菩萨等安住于各个地；又有无量的菩萨等证得百千种大三昧（高度集中的禅定状态）；又有无量尘数的众生发起阿耨多罗三藐三菩提心（无上正等正觉之心）；又有无量无边众

English version: The Dharma-nature is apart from the two extremes, as the Tathagata (如来，one who has thus gone) awakens to and realizes; all dharmas (诸法，phenomena) are fundamentally without substance, as the Tathagata awakens to and realizes. 'Furthermore, good son! All dharmas arise from the power of their own karmic causes and conditions; and these causes and conditions are momentary and unceasing, like the flash of lightning. Such karmic conditions are what the Tathagata awakens to and realizes; therefore, I say that because of causes and conditions, dharmas arise, and because of causes and conditions, dharmas cease. If separated from causes and conditions, there would be no karmic retribution. Such matters as these are known by the Tathagata. Good son! Such awakened Dharma-nature is called the Treasury of Universally Illuminating Light. Good son! Why is the Dharma-nature called a treasury? Because the mundane and supramundane wisdom of all sentient beings arises from this treasury. It is as if, with true wisdom, one observes that Dharma-nature; wisdom relies on it to arise, therefore it is called a treasury.' 'Furthermore, good son! I also say that all dharmas are like illusions, like flames, like the moon in water; such matters as these are what the Tathagata awakens to and realizes; also, good son! The nature and characteristics of dharmas are of one flavor of liberation; such matters as these are what the Tathagata awakens to and realizes. Good son! Such Dharma-nature of one flavor of liberation is called the Treasury of Universally Illuminating Light.' 'Furthermore, good son! There is also one Dharma that the Tathagata awakens to and realizes. What is that one Dharma? It is that dharmas neither arise nor cease, neither increase nor decrease, neither come nor go, neither grasp nor abandon, are neither cause nor condition; such dharmas as these are what the Tathagata awakens to and realizes.' 'Furthermore, good son! The Tathagata knows that all dharmas have no self-nature, cannot be compared, and cannot be articulated by words; such dharmas as these are what the Tathagata awakens to and realizes. Good son! Such dharmas as described above are all that the Tathagata has awakened to and realized.' When the Buddha spoke of this wordless Dharma of the Treasury of Universally Illuminating Light, a number of Bodhisattvas (菩萨，enlightenment beings) as numerous as dust motes attained the Tenth Ground (十地，the highest stage of Bodhisattva practice); and countless Bodhisattvas dwelt on the various Grounds; and countless Bodhisattvas attained hundreds of thousands of great Samadhis (三昧，states of deep concentration); and countless sentient beings as numerous as dust motes aroused the Bodhicitta (菩提心，the mind of enlightenment), the unsurpassed, perfect, complete enlightenment; and countless boundless beings --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
