English version All sound theories, both worldly and otherworldly, knowing cause and effect, knowing the initial expedient means as well as the root, one should know that this person can attain wisdom. Such wisdom is of three kinds: first, arising from hearing; second, arising from thinking; third, arising from cultivation. Understanding the meaning from words is called arising from hearing; understanding the meaning through contemplation is called arising from thinking; understanding the meaning through cultivation is called arising from cultivation. Being able to read the twelve divisions of the scriptures of the Tathagata (Twelve Divisions of Scriptures: different classifications of Buddhist scriptures), being able to eliminate doubts, being able to read all worldly theories and affairs, being able to clearly distinguish between evil and righteous paths, this is called wisdom. Being able to clearly distinguish the twelve divisions of scriptures, the cause and effect meanings of skandhas (Five Skandhas: form, feeling, perception, volition, consciousness), realms (Eighteen Realms: six sense organs - eye, ear, nose, tongue, body, mind; six sense objects - form, sound, smell, taste, touch, dharma; six consciousnesses - eye consciousness, ear consciousness, nose consciousness, tongue consciousness, body consciousness, mind consciousness), entrances (Twelve Entrances: six sense organs and six sense objects), Vipassanā (Vipassanā, insight meditation) and Śamatha (Śamatha, calming meditation), the characteristics of superior, middling, and inferior, good, evil, neutral, and the four inversions (Four Inversions: permanence, bliss, self, purity), the path of seeing, the path of cultivation, being able to clearly distinguish such matters, this is called wisdom. ‘Good man! A wise person seeks the ten powers (Ten Powers: the ten powers possessed by the Tathagata), the four fearlessnesses (Four Fearlessnesses: the Buddha's four kinds of fearless declarations), great compassion (Great Compassion: great compassion for all beings), the three establishments of mindfulness (Three Establishments of Mindfulness: three focuses of the Buddha's teachings), and constantly draws near to the Buddha and the Buddha's disciples. When there is no Buddha-dharma in the world, one delights in leaving home to practice and study with externalists, and even though one is in a heretical path, one delights in seeking the essentials of the right path, constantly cultivating the mind of loving-kindness, compassion, joy, and equanimity, as well as the five supernormal powers (Five Supernormal Powers: clairvoyance, clairaudience, knowing others' minds, knowing past lives, and magical powers). Having attained the five supernormal powers, one contemplates the impurity and impermanence, and is able to say that conditioned phenomena have many faults and transgressions. For the sake of speaking truthfully, one teaches sentient beings to study sound theory, which can enable sentient beings to be free from physical and mental illnesses, and one delights in teaching others with worldly matters, and no one can surpass one's undertakings, such as mantras, prescriptions, and various medicines. One is able to skillfully seek wealth, and having obtained it, one is able to protect it, using it with reason, and giving it away lawfully. Even though one knows everything, one does not give rise to arrogance, and having attained great merit, one does not give rise to contentment, and one is able to teach sentient beings faith, giving, upholding precepts, learning widely, and wisdom. One knows the expedient means of good, non-good, and neutral, and is skilled in understanding the sequential order of causes and conditions for learning and practice, knows the path to Bodhi and the adornments of the path, knows the superior, middling, and inferior faculties of various sentient beings, knows external sound theories without clinging to them in the mind, knows the timing of sentient beings and subdues them accordingly, knows the worlds of sentient beings and the worlds of lands, and knows that it comes from perfecting the six perfections (Six Perfections: giving, morality, patience, diligence, concentration, wisdom).' ‘Good man! There is wisdom that is not a pāramitā, and there is a pāramitā that is not wisdom.’ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

慧,有是智慧是波罗蜜,有非智慧非波罗蜜。是智慧非波罗蜜者,所谓一切世间智慧,声闻、缘觉所行智慧。是波罗蜜非智慧者,无有是义。是智慧是波罗蜜者,所谓一切六波罗蜜。非智慧非波罗蜜者,所谓一切声闻、缘觉施、戒、精进。 “善男子!若人有能勤修如是六波罗蜜,是人名为供养六方,能增财命。 “善男子!菩萨二种:一者、在家,二者、出家。出家菩萨修净智慧,是不为难;在家修净,是乃为难。何以故?在家之人多恶因缘所缠绕故。” 说是法时,善生长者子等千优婆塞,发阿耨多罗三藐三菩提心。既发心已,即从坐起,礼佛而退,辞还所止。 优婆塞戒经卷第七 现代汉语译本: 慧(Prajna),有些智慧是波罗蜜(Paramita,到彼岸),有些不是智慧也不是波罗蜜。什么是智慧但不是波罗蜜呢?就是指一切世间的智慧,以及声闻(Sravaka,听闻佛法者)、缘觉(Pratyekabuddha,自我觉悟者)所修行的智慧。什么是波罗蜜但不是智慧呢?没有这样的情况。什么是智慧也是波罗蜜呢?就是指一切六波罗蜜(六种到达彼岸的方法)。什么既不是智慧也不是波罗蜜呢?就是指一切声闻、缘觉所行的布施(Dana)、持戒(Sila)、精进(Virya)。 ‘善男子!如果有人能够勤奋地修习这六波罗蜜,这个人就叫做供养六方,能够增长财富和寿命。’ ‘善男子!菩萨有两种:一种是在家的,一种是出家的。出家的菩萨修习清净的智慧,这不难做到;在家的菩萨修习清净的智慧,这就很难做到。为什么呢?因为在家的人常常被各种恶劣的因缘所缠绕。’ 在宣说这部经的时候,善生长者子等一千位优婆塞(Upasaka,在家男居士)发起了阿耨多罗三藐三菩提心(Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi-citta,无上正等正觉之心)。发起菩提心之后,他们就从座位上站起来,向佛陀顶礼,然后退下,告辞返回各自的住所。 《优婆塞戒经》卷第七
English
English version: Prajna (Wisdom), some wisdom is Paramita (Perfection, gone beyond), and some is neither wisdom nor Paramita. What is wisdom but not Paramita? It refers to all worldly wisdom, as well as the wisdom practiced by Sravakas (Hearers) and Pratyekabuddhas (Solitary Buddhas). What is Paramita but not wisdom? There is no such thing. What is both wisdom and Paramita? It refers to all six Paramitas (Six Perfections). What is neither wisdom nor Paramita? It refers to the Dana (Generosity), Sila (Morality), and Virya (Effort) practiced by all Sravakas and Pratyekabuddhas. ‘Good man! If someone can diligently practice these six Paramitas, that person is called one who makes offerings to the six directions, and can increase wealth and lifespan.’ ‘Good man! There are two types of Bodhisattvas: one is a householder, and the other is a renunciate. It is not difficult for a renunciate Bodhisattva to cultivate pure wisdom; it is difficult for a householder to cultivate pure wisdom. Why? Because householders are often entangled by various bad conditions.’ When this Dharma was being taught, one thousand Upasakas (Lay male followers), including the son of the Good Growth Elder, generated the Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi-citta (Unsurpassed Perfect Enlightenment Mind). Having generated this mind, they rose from their seats, bowed to the Buddha, and withdrew, taking their leave to return to their respective dwellings.
