Chinese

中伤人意。菩萨与妻子并居,如养怨家,常护其意。菩萨视女人如虎狼师子如毒蛇,菩萨不畏;爱欲不能动菩萨意,菩萨舍欲故,爱欲不能得沾污菩萨清净之行。如莲华不于高山、陆地生也,菩萨于爱欲中生,如莲华虽淤泥中生,不为泥涂所污也。菩萨戒内不戒外也,外行如地,内戒如水,水以清净濡软为行,地以多容多受为功德也。一切百草、树木皆从地得生长,一切万物皆从水得生活,是故菩萨功德如地如水。菩萨山居独处,亦不恐惧。菩萨虽居家畜养妻子,常如独处,恬然安定,无复痛痒思想之念。以故菩萨功德尊大、巍巍堂堂,无端无底、无边无限,功德难称难量,是为菩萨十时之戒。   “菩萨常行四等心,平等无异,已信功德便得一住,已得一住便得二住,已得二住便得三住,已得三住便得四住,已得四住便得五住,已得五住便得六住,已得六住便得七住,已得七住便得八住,已得八住便得九住,已得九住便得十住,已得十住便得作佛,便度一切众生,是为菩萨积累功德自致得道。其有人随我讽诵是经者,既却诸恶,得佛疾也。见者、闻者一时欢喜者,既却己身无央数之罪,令得十住信心,以致得道。常当以月十五日,一日一夜诵读是经,其福盖于三界中;莫作限碍缚着之行,是则远离功德,不为菩 现代汉语译本: 中伤他人心意。菩萨与妻子共同生活,就像养着一个怨家,总是小心翼翼地维护对方的心意。菩萨看待女人,如同看待虎狼狮子,如同看待毒蛇,菩萨并不畏惧这些;爱欲无法动摇菩萨的心意,因为菩萨已经舍弃了欲望,所以爱欲无法沾污菩萨清净的行为。如同莲花不会在高山或陆地上生长一样,菩萨在爱欲之中诞生,就像莲花虽然在淤泥中生长,却不会被泥土所污染。菩萨的戒律注重内在而非外在,外在的行为如同大地,内在的戒律如同水,水以清净和柔和为特性,大地以宽容和承载为功德。一切草木都从大地获得生长,一切万物都从水中获得生活,所以菩萨的功德如同大地和水一样。菩萨居住在山中,独自生活,也不会感到恐惧。菩萨即使居家生活,畜养妻子,也常常像独自一人一样,恬静安宁,没有痛苦和思念的念头。因此,菩萨的功德尊贵伟大、庄严盛大,没有开端没有尽头、没有边际没有限制,功德难以称赞难以衡量,这就是菩萨的十种戒律。 ‘菩萨常常修习四等心(四无量心:慈、悲、喜、舍),平等对待一切众生,没有差别。已经相信功德就能得到一住(菩萨十住位的第一个阶段),已经得到一住就能得到二住,已经得到二住就能得到三住,已经得到三住就能得到四住,已经得到四住就能得到五住,已经得到五住就能得到六住,已经得到六住就能得到七住,已经得到七住就能得到八住,已经得到八住就能得到九住,已经得到九住就能得到十住,已经得到十住就能成佛,就能度化一切众生,这就是菩萨积累功德,自然而然地证得佛道。如果有人跟随我讽诵这部经,就能消除各种罪恶,迅速成佛。见到或听到这部经的人,如果一时欢喜,就能消除自身无数的罪过,使他们获得十住的信心,以至于证得佛道。应当常常在每月十五日,用一天一夜的时间诵读这部经,其福报可以覆盖三界;不要设置限制或产生执着,这样做就会远离功德,不能成为菩萨。’

English version: To slander and hurt others' feelings. A Bodhisattva living with his wife is like raising an enemy, always carefully protecting her feelings. A Bodhisattva views women as tigers, wolves, lions, or poisonous snakes, yet the Bodhisattva is not afraid; lust cannot move the Bodhisattva's mind, because the Bodhisattva has abandoned desire, so lust cannot stain the Bodhisattva's pure conduct. Just as a lotus does not grow on high mountains or land, a Bodhisattva is born in the midst of desire, just as a lotus, although born in mud, is not defiled by the mud. The Bodhisattva's precepts focus on the inner, not the outer; outer conduct is like the earth, inner precepts are like water. Water's characteristic is purity and gentleness, the earth's merit is tolerance and acceptance. All grasses, plants, and trees grow from the earth, all things live from water, therefore the Bodhisattva's merit is like the earth and water. A Bodhisattva living alone in the mountains is not afraid. Although a Bodhisattva lives at home, raising a wife and children, he is always as if alone, tranquil and stable, without thoughts of pain or longing. Therefore, the Bodhisattva's merit is noble and great, majestic and grand, without beginning or end, without limit or boundary, the merit is difficult to praise and measure, these are the ten precepts of a Bodhisattva. 'A Bodhisattva constantly practices the Four Immeasurable Minds (Cattāro appamaññā: loving-kindness, compassion, sympathetic joy, equanimity), treating all beings equally, without discrimination. Having believed in merit, one attains the First Stage of Abiding (the first stage of the ten stages of a Bodhisattva), having attained the First Stage of Abiding, one attains the Second Stage of Abiding, having attained the Second Stage of Abiding, one attains the Third Stage of Abiding, having attained the Third Stage of Abiding, one attains the Fourth Stage of Abiding, having attained the Fourth Stage of Abiding, one attains the Fifth Stage of Abiding, having attained the Fifth Stage of Abiding, one attains the Sixth Stage of Abiding, having attained the Sixth Stage of Abiding, one attains the Seventh Stage of Abiding, having attained the Seventh Stage of Abiding, one attains the Eighth Stage of Abiding, having attained the Eighth Stage of Abiding, one attains the Ninth Stage of Abiding, having attained the Ninth Stage of Abiding, one attains the Tenth Stage of Abiding, having attained the Tenth Stage of Abiding, one becomes a Buddha, and then liberates all sentient beings, this is how a Bodhisattva accumulates merit and naturally attains Buddhahood. If someone follows me in reciting this sutra, they will eliminate all evils and quickly attain Buddhahood. Those who see or hear this sutra, if they rejoice at that moment, will eliminate countless sins from themselves, enabling them to gain faith in the Ten Stages of Abiding, leading to the attainment of Buddhahood. One should always recite this sutra on the fifteenth day of each month, for one day and one night, its blessings will cover the Three Realms; do not create limitations or attachments, doing so will distance you from merit and prevent you from becoming a Bodhisattva.' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 萨道也。”   第十时

English version: ‘Sādhu.’ The Tenth Hour ‘Namo Buddha (Homage to the Buddha), Namo Dharma (Homage to the Dharma), Namo Bhikshu Sangha (Homage to the Sangha of Monks), Namo all Bodhisattvas (Homage to all Bodhisattvas), Namo Dāna-kīrti Bodhisattva (Dāna-kīrti Bodhisattva), Namo Mañjuśrī Bodhisattva (Mañjuśrī Bodhisattva)! Bodhisattvas always compassionately care for all people, seeing the poor, the rich, the powerful, the noble, the lowly, the strong, the weak, the timid, they constantly think of them, wishing to make them equal. They always wish to make the ten directions as flat as water, without mountains or pits, so that people's poverty and wealth are not different, the length of their lives is not different, their nobility and lowliness are not different, their hearts are united in seeking the Way, and they always wish to jointly initiate the activities of the Great Vehicle, so that all humans and non-humans can develop the unsurpassed, true, and correct path, all have wisdom, all practice giving, without stinginess or greed, all uphold the precepts, all can endure insult, all can be diligent, enter into samadhi with one mind, and all have skillful means in seeing the transformation samadhi. Seeing those who are confused, they wish to quickly lead them to the right path; those in darkness, may they see the light. May the sick be healed; may the strong each display their strength. For those traveling on land, may people, horses, carts, and oxen be strong and healthy, may people's hands and feet be strong, may their wealth be secure; for those traveling by boat, may they achieve their wishes in all directions, whether upstream or downstream, may their boats and vehicles be safe, and may their sails travel smoothly. May merchants gain a hundredfold, a thousandfold, or a millionfold profit, may their places of residence be suitable, may their buying and selling be convenient, and may both buyers and sellers get what they wish. For those living at home, may their wives, children, parents, and in-laws all be safe, without the troubles of fire, water, thieves, diseases, or government officials. For those in official positions, may they always be safe, nurturing the people with compassion, may their families be wealthy, without poverty, worry, or suffering. This is the Bodhisattva's practice of equality in the eleven times of the precepts. Good men and good women who hear this rejoice and all attain Avaivartika (non-retrogression). All the gods of the heavens, the gods of the earth, and the gods of the mountains come to attend and protect those who carry and uphold this sutra, and all calamities dare not violate them, for the Bodhisattva has already attained supernatural powers.’ The Eleventh Hour ‘Namo Buddha (Homage to the Buddha), Namo Dharma (Homage to the Dharma), Namo Bhikshu Sangha (Homage to the Sangha of Monks) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
