English version: Great vessels (metaphor for capable people). In an instant, creating sinful karma will cause one to fall into Avici Hell. Once the human body is lost, it is difficult to recover for myriad kalpas. Beautiful appearances do not last, like a galloping horse; human life is impermanent, even faster than mountain streams. Although one exists today, it is difficult to guarantee existence tomorrow. All of you should diligently cultivate and strive forward with one mind, being careful not to be lazy, indolent, sleepy, or indulgent. At night, gather your minds and contemplate the Three Jewels (Buddha, Dharma, Sangha). Do not let time pass in vain, causing futile fatigue, which you will deeply regret in the future. All of you should carefully follow these precepts with one mind, practice according to the Dharma, and should learn.' Brahma Net Sutra, Vairocana Buddha Speaks the Bodhisattva Mind-Ground Precepts, Chapter Ten, Volume Two Translated by Tripiṭaka Kumārajīva of the Kingdom of Kucha in the Later Qin Dynasty At that time, Vairocana Buddha, for the sake of this great assembly, briefly revealed the center of hundreds of thousands of Ganges sands of inconceivable Dharma doors—the Mind-Ground Dharma Door, as small as the tip of a hair: 'This is what all Buddhas of the past have already spoken, what all Buddhas of the future will speak, and what all Buddhas of the present are speaking; what Bodhisattvas of the three times have already learned, will learn, and are learning. I have cultivated this Mind-Ground Dharma Door for hundreds of kalpas, therefore I am called Vairocana. You Buddhas should transmit what I have spoken, and open the path of the Mind-Ground for all sentient beings.' At that time, Vairocana Buddha, on the Lion Throne of the Lotus Treasury World, radiating brilliant light, told the Thousand-Petaled Lotus Buddha: 'Take my Mind-Ground Dharma Door Chapter and go, and further transmit it to billions of Sakyamuni Buddhas and all sentient beings, sequentially explaining my Supreme Mind-Ground Dharma Door Chapter. You should receive, uphold, recite, and practice it with one mind.' At that time, the Thousand-Petaled Lotus Buddha and billions of Sakyamuni Buddhas arose from the Lion Throne of the Lotus Treasury World, each taking their leave, emitting inconceivable light from their entire bodies, and all the light transformed into immeasurable Buddhas. Simultaneously, they offered immeasurable blue, yellow, red, and white flowers to Vairocana Buddha, and after receiving and upholding the aforementioned Mind-Ground Dharma Door Chapter, each disappeared from this Lotus Treasury World. After disappearing, they entered the Samadhi of the Essence of Emptiness, Flower Light, and returned to the Jambudvipa (the world we live in) under the Bodhi tree in their original world, emerging from the Samadhi of the Essence of Emptiness, Flower Light. After emerging, they sat upon the Vajra Thousand Light King Throne and expounded the Ten World Seas in the Wonderful Light Hall. Then, arising from the throne, they went to Indra's Palace and expounded the Ten Dwellings. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

座起，至炎天中说十行。复从座起，至第四天中说十回向。复从座起，至化乐天说十禅定。复从座起，至他化天说十地。复至一禅中说十金刚，复至二禅中说十忍，复至三禅中说十愿，复至四禅中摩醯首罗天王宫，说我本源莲花藏世界卢舍那佛所说心地法门品。其余千百亿释迦亦复如是无二无别。如贤劫品中说。 尔时释迦牟尼佛，从初现莲花藏世界东方来入天王宫中说魔受化经已，下生南阎浮提迦夷罗国，母名摩耶、父字白净。吾名悉达，七岁出家、三十成道，号吾为释迦牟尼佛。于寂灭道场坐金刚花光王座，乃至摩醯首罗天王宫。其中次第十住处所说。时佛观诸大梵天王网罗幢，因为说无量世界犹如网孔，一一世界各各不同别异无量，佛教门亦复如是。吾今来此世界八千返，为此娑婆世界坐金刚花光王座，乃至摩醯首罗天王宫，为是中一切大众略开心地法门品竟。复从天王宫下至阎浮提菩提树下，为此地上一切众生凡夫痴闇之人，说我本卢舍那佛心地中初发心中常所诵一戒光明。金刚宝戒是一切佛本源、一切菩萨本源、佛性种子。一切众生皆有佛性，一切意识色心是情是心，皆入佛性戒中，当当常有因故，有当当常住法身。如是十波罗提木叉出于世界，是法戒，是三世一切众生顶戴受持。吾今当为此大众重 现代汉语译本 从座位起身，到炎天中宣说十行（菩萨修行的十种行为）。再次从座位起身，到第四天中宣说十回向（将功德回向给众生）。再次从座位起身，到化乐天宣说十禅定（十种禅定境界）。再次从座位起身，到他化天宣说十地（菩萨修行的十个阶位）。再次到一禅天中宣说十金刚（比喻坚固不坏的十种智慧）。再次到二禅天中宣说十忍（十种忍辱）。再次到三禅天中宣说十愿（十种愿力）。再次到四禅天中的摩醯首罗天王宫，宣说我本源莲花藏世界卢舍那佛（报身佛）所说的《心地法门品》。其余千百亿释迦牟尼佛（应化身佛）也都是这样，没有差别。如同《贤劫品》中所说。 这时，释迦牟尼佛，从最初显现莲花藏世界东方而来，进入天王宫中宣说《魔受化经》后，下生到南阎浮提（我们所居住的这个世界）的迦夷罗国，母亲名叫摩耶（释迦牟尼佛的生母），父亲字白净（释迦牟尼佛的父亲）。我的名字是悉达（释迦牟尼佛出家前的名字），七岁出家，三十岁成道，人们称我为释迦牟尼佛。在寂灭道场（菩提树下）坐于金刚花光王座，乃至摩醯首罗天王宫。其中依次在十住处所宣说。当时佛观察诸大梵天王（色界天的天王）的网罗幢（装饰物），因此为他们宣说无量世界犹如网孔，每一个世界都各不相同，差异无量，佛教的法门也是如此。我如今来到这个世界八千次，为了这个娑婆世界（我们所居住的这个充满苦难的世界）坐于金刚花光王座，乃至摩醯首罗天王宫，为这里的一切大众简略地开示了《心地法门品》。再次从天王宫下到阎浮提的菩提树下，为了这地上的一切众生，凡夫愚痴黑暗之人，宣说我本源卢舍那佛心地中最初发心时常常诵持的一戒光明。金刚宝戒是一切佛的本源，一切菩萨的本源，佛性的种子。一切众生皆有佛性，一切意识色心，是情是心，都进入佛性戒中，应当常常有因缘的缘故，有应当常常住于法身。像这样十波罗提木叉（戒律）出于世界，这个法戒，是三世一切众生顶戴受持的。我如今应当为大众重

English version Rising from his seat, he spoke of the Ten Practices in the Heaven of Heat. Rising again from his seat, he spoke of the Ten Dedications in the Fourth Heaven. Rising again from his seat, he spoke of the Ten Meditative Absorptions in the Heaven of Contentment. Rising again from his seat, he spoke of the Ten Grounds in the Heaven of Mastery over the Creations of Others. Again, in the First Dhyana Heaven, he spoke of the Ten Vajras. Again, in the Second Dhyana Heaven, he spoke of the Ten Forbearances. Again, in the Third Dhyana Heaven, he spoke of the Ten Vows. Again, in the Fourth Dhyana Heaven, in the palace of the Mahesvara (Great Lord) Heaven King, he spoke of the 'Chapter on the Dharma-Door of the Ground of the Mind' as spoken by Vairocana Buddha (the embodiment of Dharma) in my original Lotus Treasury World. The other billions of Sakyamunis (historical Buddha) are also thus, without difference. As it is said in the 'Kalpa of the Worthy' chapter. At that time, Sakyamuni Buddha, coming from the east of the Lotus Treasury World where he first appeared, entered the palace of the Heaven King and, after speaking the 'Sutra on the Subjugation of Mara', descended to Jambudvipa (the continent where humans live) in the country of Kapilavastu, his mother named Maya (mother of Sakyamuni Buddha), his father named Suddhodana (father of Sakyamuni Buddha). My name is Siddhartha (Sakyamuni Buddha's name before renunciation), I left home at the age of seven, attained enlightenment at the age of thirty, and am called Sakyamuni Buddha. In the place of enlightenment, I sat on the Vajra Flower Light King's seat, up to the palace of the Mahesvara Heaven King. Within this, the places of the Ten Abodes were spoken of in order. At that time, the Buddha observed the net-like banners of the Great Brahma Heaven Kings (kings of the Form Realm heavens), and therefore spoke to them, saying that the immeasurable worlds are like holes in a net, each world different and distinct, immeasurable, and the Buddhist teachings are also thus. I have come to this world eight thousand times, and for this Saha World (the world of suffering where we live) I have sat on the Vajra Flower Light King's seat, up to the palace of the Mahesvara Heaven King, and have briefly opened the 'Chapter on the Dharma-Door of the Ground of the Mind' for all the assembly here. Again, from the palace of the Heaven King, I descended to the Bodhi tree in Jambudvipa, and for all beings on this earth, the foolish and ignorant, I speak of the light of the one precept that I, Vairocana Buddha, originally recited in my mind when I first aroused the aspiration for enlightenment. The Vajra Jewel Precept is the origin of all Buddhas, the origin of all Bodhisattvas, the seed of Buddha-nature. All beings have Buddha-nature, all consciousness, form, and mind, whether feeling or thought, all enter into the Buddha-nature precept, and should always have the cause, and therefore have the Dharma-body that should always abide. Thus, the ten Pratimokshas (rules of monastic discipline) emerge from the world, this Dharma-precept is to be revered and upheld by all beings of the three times.

说十无尽藏戒品，是一切众生戒本源自性清净。 “我今卢舍那， 方坐莲花台， 周匝千花上， 复现千释迦。 一花百亿国， 一国一释迦， 各坐菩提树， 一时成佛道。 如是千百亿， 卢舍那本身， 千百亿释迦， 各接微尘众， 俱来至我所， 听我诵佛戒， 甘露门则开。 是时千百亿， 还至本道场， 各坐菩提树， 诵我本师戒。 十重四十八， 戒如明日月， 亦如璎珞珠， 微尘菩萨众， 由是成正觉。 是卢舍那诵， 我亦如是诵， 汝新学菩萨， 顶戴受持戒， 受持是戒已， 转授诸众生， 谛听我正诵， 佛法中戒藏， 波罗提木叉， 大众心谛信。 汝是当成佛， 我是已成佛， 常作如是信， 戒品已具足。 一切有心者， 皆应摄佛戒， 众生受佛戒， 即入诸佛位。 位同大觉已， 真是诸佛子， 大众皆恭敬， 至心听我诵。” 尔时释迦牟尼佛，初坐菩提树下成无上觉，初结菩萨波罗提木叉：“孝顺父母、师僧、三宝，孝顺至道之法，孝名为戒，亦名制止。”佛即口放无量光明。是时百万亿大众诸菩萨，十八梵天，六欲天子，十六大国王，合掌至心听佛诵一切佛 现代汉语译本： 现在要说的是十无尽藏戒品，这是一切众生戒律的本源，自性清净。 ‘我现在是卢舍那佛（Vairocana，报身佛），正坐在莲花台上， 周围每一朵莲花上，又显现出千尊释迦牟尼佛（Sakyamuni，应化身佛）。 每一朵莲花代表百亿个国土，每一个国土都有一尊释迦牟尼佛， 各自坐在菩提树下，同时证得佛道。 像这样千百亿的卢舍那佛本身， 千百亿的释迦牟尼佛，各自接引无数的微尘众生， 一同来到我的处所，听我宣讲佛戒， 甘露之门因此开启。 这时，千百亿的释迦牟尼佛， 返回各自的道场，各自坐在菩提树下， 诵念我本师所传的戒律。 十重戒和四十八轻戒， 戒律如同明日月般光明，也如同璎珞宝珠般珍贵， 无数的微尘菩萨，因此成就正觉。 这是卢舍那佛所诵的戒律，我也像这样诵念， 你们这些新学的菩萨，应当顶戴受持这些戒律， 受持这些戒律之后，再转授给其他众生， 仔细听我正确地诵念，佛法中的戒律宝藏， 波罗提木叉（Pratimoksa，别解脱戒），大众心中要真诚相信。 你们是将来要成佛的，我是已经成佛的， 常常这样相信，戒品就已具足。 一切有心识的众生，都应当摄受佛戒， 众生受持佛戒，就进入诸佛的果位。 果位等同于大觉悟者，真是诸佛的真子， 大众都恭敬，至诚地听我诵念。’ 这时，释迦牟尼佛（Sakyamuni）最初在菩提树下成就无上正觉，最初结集菩萨波罗提木叉（Pratimoksa）的内容是：‘孝顺父母、师长、三宝，孝顺至道之法，孝顺就叫做戒，也叫做制止。’佛即从口中放出无量的光明。当时百万亿的大众诸菩萨，十八梵天，六欲天子，十六大国王，合掌至诚地听佛诵念一切佛戒。

English version: Now, I will speak of the Ten Inexhaustible Treasure Precepts, which are the original source of precepts for all sentient beings, inherently pure in nature. 'I, Vairocana (the Reward Body Buddha), now sit upon the lotus platform, Around me, on each of the thousand flowers, appear a thousand Sakyamunis (the Manifestation Body Buddha). Each flower represents a hundred billion lands, and in each land, there is a Sakyamuni, Each sitting under the Bodhi tree, simultaneously attaining Buddhahood. Like this, the thousand billion bodies of Vairocana himself, The thousand billion Sakyamunis, each receiving countless dust-like beings, All come to my place, to hear me recite the Buddha's precepts, Thus, the gate of nectar opens. At this time, the thousand billion Sakyamunis, Return to their respective Bodhi-manda (place of enlightenment), each sitting under the Bodhi tree, Reciting the precepts of my original teacher. The ten major and forty-eight minor precepts, The precepts are as bright as the sun and moon, and as precious as jeweled necklaces, Countless Bodhisattvas, like particles of dust, attain perfect enlightenment because of them. These are the precepts recited by Vairocana, and I recite them in the same way, You, newly learning Bodhisattvas, should respectfully uphold and maintain these precepts, After upholding these precepts, transmit them to all other sentient beings, Listen carefully to my correct recitation, the treasure of precepts within the Buddha-dharma, Pratimoksa (individual liberation precepts), the assembly should sincerely believe in their hearts. You are those who will become Buddhas in the future, and I am one who has already become a Buddha, Always maintain this belief, and the precepts will be complete. All beings with consciousness should embrace the Buddha's precepts, Sentient beings who receive the Buddha's precepts enter the position of all Buddhas. With a position equal to the Greatly Enlightened One, they are truly the children of all Buddhas, The assembly is all respectful, listening attentively to my recitation.' At that time, Sakyamuni Buddha (Sakyamuni), having first attained unsurpassed enlightenment under the Bodhi tree, initially established the Bodhisattva Pratimoksa: 'Be filial to parents, teachers, Sangha (the three jewels), and the Three Jewels, be filial to the Dharma of the ultimate path; filial piety is called a precept, and it is also called restraint.' The Buddha then emitted immeasurable light from his mouth. At that time, a million billion beings, including Bodhisattvas, the eighteen Brahma heavens, the six desire heavens, and the sixteen great kings, joined their palms and listened with utmost sincerity as the Buddha recited all the Buddha's precepts. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 大乘戒。
