English version: 'I wish to speak of the conduct of a Bodhisattva, to tame and benefit sentient beings.' At that time, the World Honored One said to the Bodhisattva-Mahasattva Fearless Conduct: 'Good man! These ten Bodhisattvas once slandered the Buddha.' The Bodhisattva Fearless Conduct said: 'World Honored One! How did they slander the Buddha?' The Buddha said: 'Fearless Conduct! In the past, during the thirtieth kalpa, there was a Buddha named Avalokiteśvaravikrīḍita-tathāgata (the Thus Come One, Arhat, Perfectly Enlightened One named 'He Whose Manifestation is the Play of Avalokiteśvara'), who appeared in the Flame-Emanating World. Fearless Conduct! The ten good men in this assembly now, after that Avalokiteśvaravikrīḍita-tathāgata entered Nirvana (Nirvana), all became wealthy elders of great clans, built five hundred monasteries, and placed a thousand bhikshus (bhikṣu) in each monastery. At that time, there was a Dharma Master named Bhinna-rāśi (Distinguished Accumulation), who obtained a dharani (dhāraṇī), sat on the Dharma seat and expounded the Dharma for the assembly. Five thousand Buddhas all bestowed eloquence upon him, and eighty trillion devas protected and made offerings to him. When Dharma Master Bhinna-rāśi expounded the Dharma once, seventy thousand sentient beings all became non-retrogressive in Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi (anuttarā-samyak-saṃbodhi), and ten thousand sentient beings attained the fruit of Srotaāpanna (srotaāpanna).' 'Good man! At that time, there was a king named Candra-prāpta (Moon Attained), who personally accompanied five hundred concubines to make offerings to Dharma Master Bhinna-rāśi. Because of their respect for the Dharma, they sang and played music, scattered various precious flowers on the bhikshu, smeared his body with sandalwood (candana) and other fragrances, and covered him with five hundred fine garments. For seven days, they made offerings with all kinds of musical instruments, offering to the Dharma Master according to the Dharma.' 'At that time, the sons of those elders said that the bhikshu had broken the pure precepts. Because of this evil karmic retribution, they fell into the great hell for ninety thousand years; in five hundred lifetimes, even if they were born among humans, they received the body of a eunuch, were born among barbarians, and were born into families with wrong views; in six hundred lifetimes, they were born blind and without tongues; in seven hundred lifetimes, even if they left home, they could not obtain dharanis. Why is that? Because of the obstacles of their past evil karma.' 'Good man! You should understand such Dharma doors well. I have now spoken of them. Since you have heard them, if you see a Dharma Master who has indeed broken the precepts, you must not give rise to anger, and you should not even speak of it, let alone speak of it based on hearsay? Good man!' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

！若有挑拔一切众生眼目罪聚，若以瞋心看法师者，所有恶业过彼罪聚。若断一切诸众生命所有罪聚，若有于法师生于恶心，迳回面顷所得罪聚，彼前罪聚于此罪聚，一百分中不等其一，于千分中亦不等一，于百千分、阿僧祇分、若歌罗分、若数分中不等其一，于譬喻分乃至忧波尼沙陀分不等其一。何以故？若谤法师即是谤佛。 “善男子！若有悕望供养佛者，彼人则应供养法师；若有悕望供给佛者，彼人则应供给法师；若有悕望礼拜佛者，彼人则应礼拜法师。何以故？以从菩萨生一切智、以从菩萨生诸佛故。 “善男子！菩萨何曰发菩提心？既发心已，不住欲乐、烦恼不染，不住一切非梵行事，应如是知。如是菩萨入无色定不生无色。何以故？菩萨不随三昧力生，以愿力生，如是菩萨解脱一切毛道凡夫愚痴人行。若有能见虚空色者，彼人能见菩萨烦恼。 “善男子！譬如阿那婆达多龙王，龙众数摄，与一切龙体相无异，龙三种过悉皆远离。何等为三？一者热沙不堕其头、二者不以蛇身行欲、三者无有伽楼罗畏。如是善男子！此三龙过所不能于。菩萨摩诃萨亦复如是，一切戏乐皆悉具有，于三有中欲烦恼苦不能覆蔽，应如是知。 “又善男子！譬如取鱼众生之类，于水中行、水中见物、入水 现代汉语译本： ‘若有人挑拨离间，伤害所有众生的眼睛，所造的罪业堆积如山；如果有人以嗔恨之心看待法师，那么他所造的恶业超过前者的罪业堆积。如果有人断绝一切众生的性命，所造的罪业堆积如山；如果有人对法师生起恶念，哪怕只是转过脸的瞬间所产生的罪业堆积，那么前者的罪业堆积与后者的罪业堆积相比，百分之一都比不上，千分之一也比不上，乃至百千分之一、阿僧祇（asaṃkhya，无数）分之一、歌罗（kala，数量单位）分之一、数分之一都比不上，甚至譬喻分之一，乃至忧波尼沙陀（aupaniṣada，秘密教义）分之一都比不上。为什么呢？因为诽谤法师就是诽谤佛。’ ‘善男子！如果有人希望供养佛，那么他就应该供养法师；如果有人希望供给佛，那么他就应该供给法师；如果有人希望礼拜佛，那么他就应该礼拜法师。为什么呢？因为一切智慧从菩萨产生，诸佛从菩萨产生。’ ‘善男子！菩萨何时发起菩提心？既然发起了菩提心，就不会执着于欲乐，不会被烦恼污染，不会执着于一切非清净的行为，应该这样理解。这样的菩萨进入无色定，也不会生于无色界。为什么呢？因为菩萨不是随三昧（samādhi，禅定）的力量而生，而是以愿力而生，这样的菩萨解脱了一切像毛发一样细微的凡夫愚痴之人的行为。如果有人能看到虚空的颜色，那么他就能看到菩萨的烦恼。’ ‘善男子！譬如阿那婆达多（Anavatapta）龙王，属于龙族，与一切龙的形体相貌没有区别，但远离了龙的三种过失。哪三种呢？一是热沙不会落在它的头上，二是不以蛇身行淫欲，三是没有金翅鸟（garuḍa）的畏惧。像这样，善男子！这三种龙的过失不能加于它。菩萨摩诃萨也是这样，一切戏乐都具备，但三有（指欲界、色界、无色界）中的欲望、烦恼和痛苦不能遮蔽他，应该这样理解。’ ‘又，善男子！譬如捕捉鱼类的众生，在水中行走、在水中看到事物、进入水中……’

English version: ‘If someone instigates and harms the eyes of all sentient beings, the accumulation of sins created is like a mountain; if someone looks at a Dharma master with hatred, then the evil karma they create exceeds the former's accumulation of sins. If someone cuts off the lives of all sentient beings, the accumulation of sins created is like a mountain; if someone generates evil thoughts towards a Dharma master, even for the brief moment of turning their face away, the accumulation of sins obtained, then the former's accumulation of sins compared to the latter's accumulation of sins is not even one in a hundred, not even one in a thousand, not even one in a hundred thousand, one in an asaṃkhya (countless), one in a kala (unit of quantity), one in a number, not even one in a metaphor, not even one in an aupaniṣada (secret doctrine). Why? Because slandering a Dharma master is slandering the Buddha.’ ‘Good man! If someone hopes to make offerings to the Buddha, then they should make offerings to the Dharma master; if someone hopes to provide for the Buddha, then they should provide for the Dharma master; if someone hopes to bow down to the Buddha, then they should bow down to the Dharma master. Why? Because all wisdom arises from Bodhisattvas, and all Buddhas arise from Bodhisattvas.’ ‘Good man! When does a Bodhisattva generate the Bodhi mind? Once the Bodhi mind is generated, they will not be attached to sensual pleasures, will not be defiled by afflictions, and will not be attached to all non-pure conduct; this should be understood in this way. Such a Bodhisattva enters the formless samādhi (meditative absorption) but is not born in the formless realm. Why? Because the Bodhisattva is not born according to the power of samādhi, but is born by the power of vows; such a Bodhisattva is liberated from all the actions of foolish ordinary people as fine as hairs. If someone can see the color of emptiness, then they can see the afflictions of the Bodhisattva.’ ‘Good man! For example, Anavatapta (name of a dragon king) Dragon King, belongs to the dragon race, and is no different in form and appearance from all dragons, but is far from the three faults of dragons. What are the three? First, hot sand does not fall on its head, second, it does not engage in sexual desire with a snake body, and third, it has no fear of garuḍas (mythical bird). Like this, good man! These three faults of dragons cannot be applied to it. The Bodhisattva Mahāsattva is also like this, possessing all kinds of amusements, but the desires, afflictions, and sufferings in the three realms (desire realm, form realm, formless realm) cannot obscure him; this should be understood in this way.’ ‘Also, good man! For example, beings who catch fish, walk in the water, see things in the water, enter the water...’ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

不死。善男子！菩萨摩诃萨亦复如是，行于生死住凡夫行，常求智行修集正法，心不迷乱，凡夫之事所不能污，三有之苦所不能于，是故菩萨摩诃萨常应自护，勿谤法师。” 尔时世尊而说偈言： “若欲供养佛， 若欲礼如来， 但供养佛子， 第一供养佛。 我说以衣钵， 坐卧经行处， 如是等应施， 发菩提心者。 如是供养佛， 如是供养法， 佛为世间上， 皆从法中生。 是人孤独智， 与暗眼者明， 示迷者正道， 将向不死处。 若一切财宝， 常施一切佛， 虽如是奉施， 不能报佛恩； 若从今已去， 常供养法师， 不谤不说者， 则报诸佛恩。” 尔时不畏行菩萨摩诃萨白佛言：“世尊！有方便门令此菩萨净恶业不？” 佛言：“有。不畏行！有陀罗尼，此善男子若能出家专心诵此陀罗尼句，恶业则净。 “多轶他(台逻反是长音，不言长者尽是短音句)阿制(句)阿车婆坻(句)阿那(长音)毗丽(句)阿施黎杀(诗债反，句)阿讫吏帝(句)阿那由系(句)阿系(句)阿毗何(长音)离(句)阿婆(重音，不言重者悉是轻音)婆(句)头楼唐鹅磨(句)由多若多(长音)纳波啰颇闭(句)尼伽地(持债反 现代汉语译本： ‘不死。善男子！菩萨摩诃萨（bodhisattva mahāsattva，伟大的菩萨）也是这样，在生死轮回中修行，安住于凡夫的行为，经常寻求智慧的修行，修习积累正法，内心不迷惑混乱，凡夫俗事不能玷污他们，三有（trayo bhava，欲有、色有、无色有）的痛苦不能束缚他们，所以菩萨摩诃萨应当经常自我守护，不要诽谤法师。’ 这时，世尊（Bhagavān，佛）说了偈语： ‘如果想要供养佛，如果想要礼敬如来（Tathāgata，佛的称号之一），只要供养佛子，就是第一等的供养佛。我说用衣服和钵，以及坐卧经行的地方，像这些都应该布施给，发菩提心（bodhicitta，觉悟之心）的人。 这样供养佛，这样供养法，佛是世间最上的，一切都从法中产生。这个人拥有孤独的智慧，给予黑暗中的眼睛光明，为迷路的人指示正道，带领他们走向不死之处。 如果用一切财宝，经常布施给一切佛，即使这样奉献布施，也不能报答佛的恩德；如果从今以后，经常供养法师，不诽谤不轻视说法的人，就能报答诸佛的恩德。’ 这时，不畏行菩萨摩诃萨（abhayagamana bodhisattva mahāsattva）对佛说：‘世尊！有没有方便之门，能让这些菩萨清净恶业呢？’ 佛说：‘有。不畏行！有一种陀罗尼（dhāraṇī，总持），如果这些善男子能够出家，专心诵持这个陀罗尼句，恶业就能清净。’ ‘多轶他（Tadyathā）：阿制（āji），阿车婆坻（ākhavādhi），阿那（ānā）毗丽（vīli），阿施黎杀（āśrīśāla），阿讫吏帝（ākriṭi），阿那由系（ānāyuhi），阿系（āhi），阿毗何（abhiha）离（li），阿婆（abha）婆（abha），头楼唐鹅磨（dhūlidhvaṃsa），由多若多（dyotanadyota），纳波啰颇闭（naparābhapi），尼伽地（nigadhi）。’

English version: ‘Immortality. Good man! The Bodhisattva Mahāsattva (bodhisattva mahāsattva, great bodhisattva) is also like this, practicing in the cycle of birth and death, abiding in the conduct of ordinary beings, constantly seeking the practice of wisdom, cultivating and accumulating the right Dharma, with a mind that is not confused or disturbed. The affairs of ordinary beings cannot defile them, and the suffering of the three realms of existence (trayo bhava, the desire realm, the form realm, and the formless realm) cannot bind them. Therefore, the Bodhisattva Mahāsattva should always protect themselves and not slander the Dharma teachers.’ At that time, the World Honored One (Bhagavān, the Buddha) spoke these verses: ‘If you wish to make offerings to the Buddha, if you wish to pay homage to the Tathāgata (Tathāgata, one of the titles of the Buddha), just make offerings to the Buddha's disciples, and that is the foremost offering to the Buddha. I say that clothing and alms bowls, as well as places for sitting, lying down, walking, and practicing, should be given to those who have generated the Bodhi mind (bodhicitta, the mind of enlightenment). Offering in this way to the Buddha, offering in this way to the Dharma, the Buddha is supreme in the world, and all things arise from the Dharma. This person possesses solitary wisdom, giving light to those with darkened eyes, showing the right path to those who are lost, and leading them towards the place of immortality. If one constantly gives all treasures to all Buddhas, even if one makes such offerings, one cannot repay the Buddha's kindness; if from now on, one constantly makes offerings to Dharma teachers, and does not slander or disparage those who speak the Dharma, then one can repay the kindness of all Buddhas.’ At that time, the Abhayagamana Bodhisattva Mahāsattva (abhayagamana bodhisattva mahāsattva) said to the Buddha: ‘World Honored One! Is there a skillful means to purify the evil karma of these Bodhisattvas?’ The Buddha said: ‘Yes. Abhayagamana! There is a Dhāraṇī (dhāraṇī, a mnemonic device), if these good men can renounce the world and wholeheartedly recite this Dhāraṇī phrase, their evil karma will be purified.’ ‘Tadyathā: āji, ākhavādhi, ānā vīli, āśrīśāla, ākriṭi, ānāyuhi, āhi, abhiha li, abha abha, dhūlidhvaṃsa, dyotanadyota, naparābhapi, nigadhi.’ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
