English version: The three silences are: 1. silence of body; 2. silence of speech; 3. silence of mind. What is silence of body? Answer: The bodily discipline of the no-longer-learner (one who has reached the highest stage of practice and needs no further learning) is called silence of body. What is silence of speech? Answer: The verbal discipline of the no-longer-learner is called silence of speech. What is silence of mind? Answer: The mind of the no-longer-learner is called silence of mind. As the World Honored One (Buddha) said: 'In the silence of body, speech, and mind, I speak of the silence without outflows, Called perfect silence, Forever silencing all evils.' The three superiorities are: 1. superiority of the world; 2. superiority of self; 3. superiority of Dharma (teachings). What is superiority of the world? Answer: As the World Honored One said: There are Bhikshus (monks) who dwell in Aranyas (secluded places), or under trees, or in empty spaces, learning the Dharma that should be learned, and they should think thus: Now in this world there are many gatherings of beings, and wherever there are gatherings of beings, there must be Devas (gods), who have attained the divine eye (ability to see distant or subtle things), and possess the wisdom of knowing others' minds (ability to understand the thoughts of others), they can see both near and far, and they can understand whether the mind is inferior or superior. If I generate unwholesome thoughts (seeking thoughts), and become a reliance for various evils and cravings, then the Devas will immediately know and see me. Having known and seen me, they will say to each other: Now we should observe this good man together, he has been able to renounce the world and leave home with right faith, why does he again generate unwholesome thoughts, becoming a reliance for various evils and cravings? Also, in places where large gatherings of beings are in the world, perhaps there are Buddhas and disciples of the Buddha, who have attained the divine eye, and possess the wisdom of knowing others' minds, they can see both near and far, and they can understand whether the mind is inferior or superior. If I generate unwholesome thoughts, and become a reliance for various evils and cravings, then the noble assembly will immediately know and see me. Having known and seen me, they will say to each other: Now we should observe this good man together, he has been able to renounce the world and leave home with right faith, why does he again generate unwholesome thoughts, becoming a reliance for various evils and cravings? Furthermore, think thus: Although those people in the world see and know me, they are not as good as my own self-examination and understanding, therefore I should now examine and observe myself, and not generate such unwholesome thoughts, becoming a reliance for various evils and cravings. Because of such self-examination and knowledge, they generate diligent effort, lightness of body and mind, stay away from dullness, and abide in right mindfulness. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version: With a mind fixed on one object, they subdue ignorance. Because of the power of worldly dominance (adhipati), they can cut off unwholesome deeds and cultivate all wholesome dharmas. Such power of worldly dominance, which gives rise to wholesome contaminated or uncontaminated paths, is called worldly dominance. What is self-dominance? The answer is: As the World-Honored One said: 'Some bhikshus (monks) dwell in the araṇya (secluded place), or under a tree, or in an empty place, learning the dharmas to be learned, they should think: 'I have renounced the world with true faith and left home, and I should not generate unwholesome vitarka (thoughts), which can be the basis for all evil attachments.' They should constantly examine themselves and observe, and not generate such unwholesome vitarka, which can be the basis for all evil attachments.' Because of such self-examination and knowledge, they arouse diligence and effort, their bodies and minds are light and at ease, they are free from dullness, abide in right mindfulness, and their minds are fixed on one object, thereby subduing ignorance. Because of the power of self-dominance, they can cut off unwholesome deeds and cultivate all wholesome dharmas. Such power of self-dominance, which gives rise to wholesome contaminated or uncontaminated paths, is called self-dominance. What is dharma-dominance? The answer is: As the World-Honored One said: 'Some bhikshus dwell in the araṇya, or under a tree, or in an empty place, learning the dharmas to be learned, they should think: 'All the dharmas spoken by the Tathagata (Thus Come One), Arhat (Worthy One), Samyak-sambuddha (Perfectly Enlightened One), are well-spoken, visible here and now, free from all heat and vexation, in accordance with the times, come and see, come and taste, the wise can realize it within themselves.' Having understood such right dharma, I should not generate unwholesome vitarka, which can be the basis for all evil attachments. I should constantly examine myself and observe, and not generate such unwholesome vitarka, which can be the basis for all evil attachments.' Because of such self-examination and knowledge, they arouse diligence and effort, their bodies and minds are light and at ease, they are free from dullness, abide in right mindfulness, and their minds are fixed on one object, thereby subduing ignorance. Because of the power of dharma-dominance, they can cut off unwholesome deeds and cultivate all wholesome dharmas. Such power of dharma-dominance, which gives rise to wholesome contaminated or uncontaminated paths, is called dharma-dominance. As the World-Honored One said: 'In this world, there are no wise people who delight in doing evil deeds; they can understand for themselves the truth and falsehood. The virtuous can realize it; one should not despise oneself; one should always reflect on one's own evil deeds; if there are any' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 无隐覆。 世现有天神， 佛及佛弟子， 恒见知愚者， 造作诸恶行。 是故世增上， 自法增上力， 能断不善法， 修法随法行。 我说有勇健， 能摧伏魔军， 度生老病死， 证彼永寂灭。”

Therefore, the world increases, the power of its own law increases, Able to cut off unwholesome dharmas, cultivate the Dharma and act in accordance with the Dharma. I say there are brave and strong ones, able to destroy and subdue the armies of Mara (demon), Delivering beings from birth, old age, sickness, and death, attaining that eternal Nirvana (extinction).
