有诸恶心法为主。若人求一切事法及非事法是世谛法出世谛法。不依我此心法别得神通者。无有是处。 尔时阿难复问佛言。如上所说有定印者其印如何。愿为宣说定印轨则。 佛告阿难善听。先以结伽趺坐念我心咒一七遍。咒手然结定印。先仰左手搭于交脚。即以右手仰安左手上。以十指与脘骨齐。以右手中指捻大指上文成。若人诵咒一百八遍三度。踊身乃至地下虚空。及三十三天。皆悉抚心生善。一切诸大恶王。能害人者能障道者。皆使念佛令不谤佛。令诸众生得佛菩萨。永不退转识宿命智。如来常以此印召慕有缘。令其大地三十六种震动者常用此印。此印功力不可具说。所有持者但自知之。 尔时阿难白佛言。世尊如来所持能如是。其未得佛心者云何持耶我见诸药或香或臭我见诸水或浊或清。我见日月或明或暗。我见所修或凡或圣。或佛或魔或想或像。或有或无或安或危或是或非。如上事者乃有无量。先后定境像颠倒幻化不一。云何如来以诸凡夫同佛持耶。若得佛持一一佛业。若非佛持即是魔业。云何如来以诸凡夫同一佛心。佛言阿难善哉善哉。一切凡夫能受持戒我此心者实同我心即同我力。若不得者。我受轮回六道生死。所说言教并是虚妄坠堕众生。当知我即是魔非如来也。阿难汝当有疑 现代汉语译本：以生起诸恶之心为根本。如果有人寻求一切事法以及非事法，无论是世俗谛法还是出世俗谛法，不依靠我所说的这个心法而能另外获得神通，那是绝不可能的。 这时，阿难（Ananda，佛陀的十大弟子之一，以记忆力超群著称）再次问佛陀说：‘如上面所说的有定印，那这个印是什么样的呢？希望您能为我们宣说定印的法则。’ 佛陀告诉阿难：‘好好听着。首先结跏趺坐，念诵我的心咒一百零八遍。然后用手结定印。先将左手仰放于交叠的双腿上，然后将右手仰放在左手上，使十个手指与手腕骨对齐。用右手中指捻住大拇指的上纹。如果有人诵咒一百零八遍，三次，身体就能踊跃到地下虚空，乃至三十三天（Trayastrimsa，佛教宇宙观中的欲界第二天）。所有这些都能抚慰人心，生起善念。一切诸大恶王，那些能伤害人、能障碍修道的人，都能让他们念佛，不诽谤佛，使一切众生得到佛菩萨的加持，永远不退转，获得宿命智（Purva-nivasasmrti-jnana，回忆前世的能力）。如来（Tathagata，佛陀的称号之一）常常用这个印来召集有缘之人，使大地发生三十六种震动，常常使用这个印。这个印的功力不可尽说，所有持印的人自己知道就行了。’ 这时，阿难禀告佛陀说：‘世尊（Bhagavan，佛陀的称号之一），如来所持的印能有这样的威力。那还没有得到佛心的人，又该如何持印呢？我看到各种药物，有的香，有的臭；我看到各种水，有的浊，有的清；我看到日月，有的明亮，有的昏暗；我看到所修的法门，有的是凡夫的，有的是圣人的，有的是佛的，有的是魔的，有的是真实的，有的是虚幻的，有的是存在的，有的是不存在的，有的是安全的，有的是危险的，有的是正确的，有的是错误的。像上面这些情况，有无量无边。先后的定境，形象颠倒幻化，千差万别。如来怎么能让凡夫和佛一样持印呢？如果得到佛的加持，所做的一切都是佛的事业；如果不是佛的加持，那就是魔的事业。如来怎么能让凡夫和佛有一样的心呢？’ 佛陀说：‘阿难，说得好，说得好。一切凡夫如果能受持戒律，并相信我的心法，实际上就和我心一样，就和我力量一样。如果不能这样，我就要承受轮回六道生死之苦，所说的言教都是虚妄的，会使众生堕落。要知道我就是魔，不是如来。阿难，你应当消除疑虑。’

English version: The root is having evil thoughts as the basis. If someone seeks all phenomena and non-phenomena, whether mundane or supramundane truth, and can attain supernatural powers without relying on this mind-dharma of mine, there is no such possibility. At that time, Ananda (one of the ten great disciples of the Buddha, known for his exceptional memory) asked the Buddha again, 'As mentioned above, there is a Samadhi Mudra (a hand gesture used in meditation); what is this mudra like? I hope you can explain the rules of the Samadhi Mudra to us.' The Buddha told Ananda, 'Listen carefully. First, sit in the lotus position (Padmasana), and recite my heart mantra one hundred and eight times. Then, form the Samadhi Mudra with your hands. First, place your left hand, palm up, on your crossed legs. Then, place your right hand, palm up, on top of your left hand, aligning your ten fingers with your wrist bones. Use the middle finger of your right hand to press on the upper line of your thumb. If someone chants the mantra one hundred and eight times, three times, their body can leap to the underground void, even to the Trayastrimsa Heaven (the second heaven in the desire realm in Buddhist cosmology). All of this can soothe people's hearts and generate good thoughts. All the great evil kings, those who can harm people and obstruct the path of cultivation, can be made to recite the Buddha's name, not slander the Buddha, and enable all sentient beings to receive the blessings of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, never regress, and attain the knowledge of past lives (Purva-nivasasmrti-jnana). The Tathagata (one of the titles of the Buddha) often uses this mudra to summon those with affinity, causing the earth to shake in thirty-six ways, and often uses this mudra. The power of this mudra cannot be fully described; all those who hold it will know it themselves.' At this time, Ananda reported to the Buddha, 'Bhagavan (one of the titles of the Buddha), the mudra held by the Tathagata can have such power. Then, how should those who have not attained the Buddha's mind hold the mudra? I see various medicines, some fragrant and some foul; I see various waters, some turbid and some clear; I see the sun and moon, some bright and some dark; I see the practices, some are of ordinary people, some are of saints, some are of Buddhas, some are of demons, some are real, some are illusory, some are existent, some are non-existent, some are safe, some are dangerous, some are right, and some are wrong. Like the above situations, there are countless. The states of Samadhi, the images are reversed and illusory, and there are countless differences. How can the Tathagata allow ordinary people to hold the mudra in the same way as the Buddha? If one receives the Buddha's blessings, everything one does is the Buddha's work; if one does not receive the Buddha's blessings, then it is the work of demons. How can the Tathagata allow ordinary people to have the same mind as the Buddha?' The Buddha said, 'Ananda, well said, well said. If all ordinary people can uphold the precepts and believe in this mind-dharma of mine, then in reality, they have the same mind as me, and the same power as me. If they cannot do this, then I will have to endure the suffering of reincarnation in the six realms of existence, and the teachings I have spoken will be false and will cause sentient beings to fall. Know that I am a demon, not the Tathagata. Ananda, you should dispel your doubts.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

。阿难汝更听我所说。若有众生能持此法。即如来心如来心藏此人守掌当知此人即如来眼。所有瞻脉与佛齐等。当知此人如是求。手掌上安置是人故。当知是人是如来顶。如来顶上安置此人故。当知是人是如来心。如来心藏付属是人故。善男子当知是人是如来依。久远过去诸佛。依护此人广救世谛故。当知此人即是佛树。即是佛日永劫不灭。当知此人是佛金刚山也。假使世界千万亿恒河沙数。诸恶灾祥同时出现。大地倾覆。一切山河大海目真邻陀山铁围山大铁围山。及十宝山一时倾覆。龙藏浩沸天地变灭。星宿堕落众生都尽。此人不畏灭没破坏。无有一切诸恶能得其便。何以故佛日护故。于佛衣下自藏隐故。菩萨盖中自安身故一切金刚得佛所敕卫此人故。一切所有自恭敬故。若常持者。当知此人必得佛身不错谬故。阿难若有众生持我此法不得佛者。我即退位入阿毗狱更无寿生。佛誓已。一切众生及阿难身遍体血流。大地坏烈。日月不现。星宿隐没。其时为阿难有疑心故现如是事。 尔时阿难唯身及心莫知所守。其时如来见阿难心悔。即为阿难说除疑偈。 诸佛境界中 小根所不及 久远诸佛语 菩萨不能知 诸佛神通中 是境见非境 久远诸如来 同我此一心 此心非诸心 此心即是佛 现代汉语译本：阿难，你再听我说。若有众生能够受持此法，此人即是如来的心，如来的心藏。此人守护掌握此法，应当知道此人就是如来的眼睛，所有瞻仰此人的人，与瞻仰佛是同等的。应当知道此人如是求法，手掌上安置此法，因此应当知道此人是如来的头顶，如来在头顶上安置此人。因此应当知道此人是如来的心，如来的心藏托付给此人。善男子，应当知道此人是如来的依靠。久远过去的诸佛，依护此人，广为救度世间的真谛。应当知道此人就是菩提树，就是佛的太阳，永远不会熄灭。应当知道此人是佛的金刚山。假使世界有千万亿恒河沙数那么多的恶灾祥同时出现，大地倾覆，一切山河大海，目真邻陀山（Mucalinda，山名），铁围山（Cakravāḍa，山名），大铁围山（Mahācakravāḍa，山名），以及十宝山一时倾覆，龙藏翻腾，天地变灭，星宿坠落，众生都灭尽，此人也不会畏惧灭没破坏。没有任何一切诸恶能够加害于他。为什么呢？因为有佛日护佑的缘故，因为在此人自己藏隐于佛的衣下的缘故，因为在此人自己安身于菩萨的伞盖中的缘故，一切金刚都得到佛的敕令来卫护此人的缘故，一切所有都自己恭敬此人的缘故。若常常受持此法的人，应当知道此人必定能够得到佛身，不会有错谬的缘故。阿难，若有众生受持我的此法而不能成佛，我即退位，堕入阿毗地狱（Avīci，八大地狱中最下层），更无寿生。佛发誓已，一切众生及阿难身遍体血流，大地坏裂，日月不现，星宿隐没。那时因为阿难有疑心的缘故，显现这样的事情。 这时阿难唯有身体和心，不知如何是好。这时如来见到阿难心中后悔，即为阿难说了解除疑惑的偈语： 诸佛的境界中，小根器的人是无法达到的。久远诸佛所说的话语，菩萨也不能完全知晓。诸佛的神通之中，是境也是非境。久远诸如来，与我同此一心。此心不是一般的心，此心就是佛。

English version: Ānanda, listen further to what I say. If there are sentient beings who can uphold this Dharma, that person is the mind of the Tathāgata (如来，one of the titles of a Buddha), the treasury of the Tathāgata's mind. This person guards and holds this Dharma, and it should be known that this person is the eye of the Tathāgata. All who gaze upon this person are equal to gazing upon the Buddha. It should be known that this person seeks the Dharma in this way, placing this Dharma on the palm of their hand. Therefore, it should be known that this person is the crown of the Tathāgata's head, the Tathāgata placing this person on the crown of their head. Therefore, it should be known that this person is the mind of the Tathāgata, the treasury of the Tathāgata's mind entrusted to this person. Good man, it should be known that this person is the reliance of the Tathāgata. The Buddhas of the distant past rely on and protect this person, extensively saving the worldly truth. It should be known that this person is the Bodhi tree, the sun of the Buddha, never extinguished. It should be known that this person is the Vajra (金刚，diamond/thunderbolt) mountain of the Buddha. Even if a world with trillions of Ganges river sands of evil omens appear simultaneously, the earth collapses, all mountains, rivers, seas, Mucalinda (目真邻陀，name of a mountain), Cakravāḍa (铁围山，iron surrounding mountains), Mahācakravāḍa (大铁围山，great iron surrounding mountains), and the ten treasure mountains collapse at once, the dragon's lair boils, heaven and earth change and perish, stars fall, and all sentient beings are exhausted, this person will not fear destruction. No evil can harm them. Why? Because they are protected by the sun of the Buddha, because they hide themselves under the Buddha's robe, because they place themselves under the Bodhisattva's canopy, because all Vajras receive the Buddha's command to protect this person, because all beings respectfully revere this person. If one constantly upholds this Dharma, it should be known that this person will surely attain the Buddha's body without error. Ānanda, if there are sentient beings who uphold my Dharma and do not attain Buddhahood, I will abdicate my position and fall into the Avīci (阿毗，the lowest level of the eight great hells) hell, with no further life. After the Buddha made this vow, blood flowed from the bodies of all sentient beings and Ānanda, the earth cracked, the sun and moon disappeared, and the stars vanished. At that time, because Ānanda had doubts, such events manifested. At this time, Ānanda's body and mind were at a loss. Then the Tathāgata, seeing Ānanda's regret, spoke a verse to dispel his doubts: Within the realm of the Buddhas, those with small roots cannot reach. The words of the Buddhas of the distant past, even Bodhisattvas cannot fully know. Within the spiritual powers of the Buddhas, it is a realm that is both real and unreal. The Tathāgatas of the distant past share this one mind with me. This mind is not an ordinary mind; this mind is the Buddha.
