复虽观色如聚沫。亦不舍离如来色身相好。受如浮泡。亦不于诸如来禅定三摩地三摩钵底出生妙乐中不起方便。想如阳焰。亦不于诸如来智中不起胜想。行如芭蕉。亦不于一切佛法行中而无所行。识如幻士。亦不于如来三业智为先导中而无所行。如是一切所行。悉无障碍。 复次诸经皆说。应知慧及方便。是诸菩萨正所行行。是故诸菩萨于彼无数一切行中。常所发起慧及方便。观想修作长时无间。如是即得十二分位。是诸地位得安立已。彼彼位中胜上功德皆悉具足。所言十二分位者。谓信解行地乃至佛地。此等地中但除佛地。自余皆是异生及菩萨摄。此中信解行地者。未能证得二无我理。一向发起坚固信解。魔不能动。彼信解力亦未能观唯识实性。但于坚固信解法中。立解行地。又诸地中。随应各具无数三摩地总持解脱神通等诸功德。 如宝云经说。安立四种顺决择分。而彼四位。有软中上智光明出。此四皆观诸法无我。是中若有软品智光明生。是为暖位。彼所证定名为明得。若有中品智光明生。是为顶位。彼所证定名为明增。若有最上外无对碍智光明生。于心分位离能取相。是名忍位。彼所证定名一分入。若于能取所取相中悉无所得。以无二智。决定印彼二取相空。是为世第一位。彼所证定名为无间。 现代汉语译本: 即使观色如聚沫(水泡),也不舍离如来色身的相好庄严。观受如浮泡(水上的气泡),也不因此不在诸如来的禅定、三摩地(专注)、三摩钵底(等持)所生的妙乐中发起方便(善巧)。观想如阳焰(海市蜃楼),也不因此不在诸如来的智慧中发起殊胜的念想。观行如芭蕉(中空),也不因此在一切佛法修行中无所作为。观识如幻士(魔术师),也不因此不在如来身语意三业的智慧引导下无所作为。像这样,一切所行,都没有障碍。 进一步说,各种经典都说,应该了解智慧和方便,是诸菩萨真正修行的行为。因此,诸菩萨在那无数的一切行为中,常常发起智慧和方便,观想、修行、实践,长时间不间断。这样就能得到十二个分位。这些地位安立之后,在各个地位中,殊胜的功德都完全具备。所说的十二个分位,是指信解行地乃至佛地。这些地中,除了佛地,其余都是凡夫和菩萨所摄。这其中,信解行地是指,未能证得二无我(人无我和法无我)的道理,只是坚定地发起牢固的信解,魔不能动摇。他们的信解力也未能观照唯识的真实体性,只是在坚固的信解法中,建立解行地。而且,在各个地中,相应地各自具备无数的三摩地(专注)、总持(记忆和理解)、解脱、神通等各种功德。 如《宝云经》所说,安立四种顺决择分(顺于抉择真理的部分)。而这四个位次,有软、中、上三种智慧光明出现。这四种都是观察诸法无我。其中,如果产生软品的智慧光明,这是暖位。他所证得的禅定名为明得。如果产生中品的智慧光明,这是顶位。他所证得的禅定名为明增。如果产生最上、外无对碍的智慧光明,在心识分位上离开能取相(能认知的主体),这是名忍位。他所证得的禅定名一分入。如果在能取所取相(能认知的主体和被认知的客体)中都没有所得,用无二智(不二的智慧),决定印证那二取相是空性的,这是世第一位。他所证得的禅定名为无间。

English version: Though contemplating form as a mass of foam, one does not abandon the marks and characteristics of the Tathagata's (如来) [Thus Come One] physical body. Though experiencing sensation as a floating bubble, one does not fail to generate skillful means (方便) [upaya] within the wondrous bliss arising from the Tathagatas' (如来) [Thus Come One] dhyana (禅定) [meditation], samadhi (三摩地) [concentration], and samapatti (三摩钵底) [attainment]. Though perceiving thought as a mirage (阳焰), one does not fail to generate superior thoughts within the wisdom of the Tathagatas (如来) [Thus Come One]. Though viewing action as a banana tree (芭蕉) [hollow], one does not fail to engage in all the practices of the Buddhadharma (佛法) [Buddha's teachings]. Though recognizing consciousness as an illusionist (幻士), one does not fail to act under the guidance of the Tathagata's (如来) [Thus Come One] wisdom, which precedes his three karmas (三业) [actions of body, speech, and mind]. Thus, all actions are without obstruction. Furthermore, all sutras (经) state that wisdom (慧) [prajna] and skillful means (方便) [upaya] should be known as the proper conduct of all Bodhisattvas (菩萨) [enlightenment beings]. Therefore, Bodhisattvas (菩萨) [enlightenment beings] constantly generate wisdom (慧) [prajna] and skillful means (方便) [upaya] within those countless actions, contemplating, thinking, practicing, and cultivating them continuously for a long time. In this way, they attain twelve stages. Once these stages are established, superior merits are fully possessed in each of them. The twelve stages are: the stage of faith and understanding (信解行地), up to the Buddha stage (佛地) [Buddhahood]. Among these stages, except for the Buddha stage (佛地) [Buddhahood], the rest are included within ordinary beings and Bodhisattvas (菩萨) [enlightenment beings]. The stage of faith and understanding (信解行地) refers to those who have not yet realized the principle of the two non-selves (二无我) [absence of self in persons and phenomena], but firmly generate steadfast faith and understanding, which cannot be moved by Mara (魔) [demon]. Their power of faith and understanding has not yet been able to contemplate the true nature of mere consciousness (唯识实性), but they establish the stage of understanding and practice within the steadfast faith and understanding of the Dharma (法) [teachings]. Moreover, in each stage, countless samadhis (三摩地) [concentrations], dharanis (总持) [retention], liberations (解脱), supernormal powers (神通), and other merits are possessed accordingly. As stated in the Ratnamegha Sutra (宝云经), four kinds of heat stages (顺决择分) are established. Within these four stages, soft, medium, and superior wisdom lights emerge. All four contemplate the non-self of all dharmas (诸法无我) [phenomena]. Among them, if a soft wisdom light arises, it is the Warmth Stage (暖位). The samadhi (禅定) [meditation] attained is called 'Attainment of Clarity' (明得). If a medium wisdom light arises, it is the Peak Stage (顶位). The samadhi (禅定) [meditation] attained is called 'Increase of Clarity' (明增). If a supreme, unobstructed wisdom light arises, separating from the appearance of the grasper (能取相) [subject] in the mind, it is called the Forbearance Stage (忍位). The samadhi (禅定) [meditation] attained is called 'Partial Entry' (一分入). If nothing is obtained in the appearance of the grasper (能取相) [subject] and the grasped (所取相) [object], and the emptiness of the two appearances is decisively sealed with non-dual wisdom (无二智), it is the World's Supreme Stage (世第一位). The samadhi (禅定) [meditation] attained is called 'Uninterrupted' (无间). --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version: From this point, without interruption, one enters the nature of Vijñaptimātratā (唯识性, Consciousness-only). These general and brief statements encompass the stages of faith, understanding, and practice. Furthermore, the Ten Bhūmis (十地, Ten Grounds) are the ten stages. The Bodhisattva (菩萨) in the first Bhūmi, immediately after the first Dharma (法, law/phenomena) in the last moment of the previous life, enters the Path of Seeing (见道, Darśanamārga) with the initial aspiration. Having attained the nature of a noble being, great joy arises. Therefore, this is called the Pramuditā-bhūmi (欢喜地, Joyful Ground). This Bhūmi enables partial realization of the principle of the two kinds of non-self (二无我), and the true wisdom of the non-inherent existence of phenomena arises, completely free from all conceptual elaborations and play. In this Bhūmi, one can sever one hundred and twelve afflictions to be abandoned by seeing. The remaining sixteen afflictions to be abandoned by cultivation in the three realms are severed accordingly. The Bodhisattva in this stage attains the Equality Wisdom (平等智), benefiting both oneself and others, and perfects the Dāna pāramitā (布施波罗蜜多, perfection of generosity). Abiding in Samādhi (三摩地, concentration), one is still unable to completely eliminate subtle transgressions and defilements. If one can partially attain it, one can advance to the second Bhūmi. The Bodhisattva in the second Bhūmi can abandon all defilements of violating precepts. Therefore, this is called the Vimalā-bhūmi (离垢地, Stainless Ground). The Bodhisattva in this stage can truly abandon subtle defilements of violating precepts and perfects the Śīla pāramitā (持戒波罗蜜多, perfection of ethical discipline). One is still unable to achieve superior Samādhi, Samāpatti (三摩钵底, meditative absorption), and Dhāraṇī (闻持总持, retention). If one can partially attain it, one can advance to the third Bhūmi. The Bodhisattva in the third Bhūmi can emit immeasurable light of superior wisdom. Therefore, this is called the Prabhākarī-bhūmi (发光地, Luminous Ground). The Bodhisattva in this stage universally attains superior Samādhi and Dhāraṇī, can endure all sufferings, and having perfected the Kṣānti pāramitā (忍辱波罗蜜多, perfection of patience), relinquishes attachment to all Samāpattis. One is still unable to extensively cultivate the factors of enlightenment. If one can partially attain it, one can advance to the fourth Bhūmi. The Bodhisattva in the fourth Bhūmi, the flame of wisdom of the factors of enlightenment can burn the firewood of all afflictions. Therefore, this is called the Arciṣmatī-bhūmi (焰慧地, Radiant Ground). The Bodhisattva in this stage has abandoned deficient verbal and mental discriminations and skillfully cultivates the complete factors of enlightenment, perfecting the Vīrya pāramitā (精进波罗蜜多, perfection of diligence). One is still unable to contemplate the Four Noble Truths. If one can partially attain it, one can advance to the fifth Bhūmi. The Bodhisattva in the fifth Bhūmi observes the equality of Saṃsāra (生死, cyclic existence) and Nirvāṇa (涅槃, liberation) with skillful means, which is superior among the extremely difficult, and is a superior practice. Therefore, this is called the Sudurjayā-bhūmi (难胜地, Difficult to Conquer Ground). The Bodhisattva in this stage can skillfully contemplate the Four Noble Truths. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
