English version The Buddha Speaks of the Great Vaipulya Never-Before-Seen Sutra: Skillful Means Chapter Translated by Tripiṭaka Dharma Master Śīlapāla, Great Officer of Court for Imperial Sacrifices, Acting Vice President of the Court of Imperial Sacrifices, under Imperial Decree At that time, there was a Bodhisattva-Mahasattva (a great Bodhisattva among Bodhisattvas) named Great Intent, who rose from his seat in the assembly, adjusted his robes, respectfully joined his palms, prostrated at the Buddha's feet, and stepped forward to say to the Buddha: 'World-Honored One! How do those who cultivate the Bodhisattva path skillfully engage with the five desires (form, sound, smell, taste, and touch) so that they acquire without attachment, and though constantly engaged, remain without obstruction?' At that time, the Buddha said to the Bodhisattva Great Intent: 'Excellent, excellent. Great Intent! Your name is most supreme, and your understanding is most supreme, that you are able to ask such a question in the assembly. Those who cultivate the Bodhisattva path will, in future lives, deeply plant roots of goodness at the Buddhas' places; this is called skillful means, and they will attain the common establishment of all Buddhas.' At this time, the Bodhisattva Great Intent again said to the Buddha: 'World-Honored One! How do those who cultivate the Bodhisattva path deeply plant roots of goodness at the Buddhas' places in future lives? May the World-Honored One, for the benefit and happiness of all beings, widely expound this for us.' The Buddha said: 'Good man! Listen attentively now, and I will explain it to you. If someone performs even a small act of giving, and is able to generate an increasing and supreme mind, broadly generating the most excellent good mind for all beings, and dedicates the merits obtained to all beings, such benefits will be inexhaustible. For example, like the rain falling heavily into the great ocean, each drop of water is countless, continuously flowing without end. The one who practices giving, skillfully dedicating the merits to all beings, is also like this; supporting all good dharmas, progressively increasing and excelling without end, until finally becoming a Buddha, with all good deeds perfected.' 'Furthermore, Great Intent! If someone sees a Mandala (sacred enclosure) and offers a single incense stick, when making this offering, they should generate this thought: 'May all beings universally attain the supreme precepts.' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 香,具足一切乐具,皆得如意。’
