之正因也。言是故应者总结释之。自下第二科文说有五分者是总举也。因缘分等是其别释。文题可知。自下第二表其造意。此中有二。一者正表其意。二者问。修多罗中以下难解者料简分别。就初中有二。一者问二者答言有何因缘而造此论者问其造意。自下正答。此中有三。一者略表举。二者云何为八以下别释。三者有如是等下结释也。就别释中有二。一者总表其意。二者从第三以下出所为人。就初言令众生离苦者。所以众生常在三途恒受苦者。由迷理故也。既是非不知。故造作恶行。常在三途。如人自宅无有出期。甚为可愍。是以菩萨造作斯论。显真极理。令示是非离苦处也。言得究竟乐者。所以众生不得乐者。不知善行是应行故。是故菩萨说诸善行。令知众生修行趣入。得涅槃乐。何故非得人天乐者。非究竟故。悉无常故。是不令得也。言非求世间名利敬者。有二意。一者就菩萨说。我为众生离苦得乐者。我非求名利。避他讥谦。二者所为众生。我所说法非令得求世间恭敬。唯令求心证无上菩提。故说此法。次明所显之法。言为欲解释如来根本义者。出所说理非不了也。下显其意。令诸众生解不谬故。或执邪为正。或执妄为真。或执不了以为了义。皆是谬故。自下第二出所为人此中有三。一者有善根人。二者示方 现代汉语译本: 这是正确的因由。‘言是故应者’总结并解释了它。从下面第二科文‘说有五分者’开始是总体的提出。‘因缘分’等是分别的解释。文章的标题可以理解。从下面开始第二部分表明了创作意图。这里面有两点。一是正面表明意图,二是提问。‘修多罗中’以下难以理解的地方进行辨析。在第一点中又有两点。一是提问,二是回答。‘言有何因缘而造此论者’询问创作意图。从下面开始正式回答。这里面有三点。一是简略地表明,二是‘云何为八’以下分别解释,三是‘有如是等’以下总结解释。在分别解释中又有两点。一是总体表明意图,二是从‘第三’以下说明是为谁而作。在最初的‘令众生离苦者’中,众生之所以常在三途,恒常受苦,是因为迷惑于真理。既然不知是非,所以造作恶行,常在三途,如同人被困在家中没有出去的期限,非常可怜。因此菩萨创作此论,彰显真实的极理,使人明白是非,脱离苦难。‘言得究竟乐者’,众生之所以不能得到快乐,是因为不知道善行是应该做的。所以菩萨宣说各种善行,使众生知道修行进入,得到涅槃的快乐。为什么不是得到人天之乐呢?因为不是究竟的,都是无常的,所以不让他们得到。‘言非求世间名利敬者’,有两种含义。一是就菩萨而言,我为了众生离苦得乐,我不是为了求名利,避免他人的讥讽。二是为了所度的众生,我所说的法不是为了让他们求得世间的恭敬,只是为了让他们求得内心证悟无上菩提,所以说此法。接下来阐明所要彰显的法。‘言为欲解释如来根本义者’,说明所说的道理不是没有根据的。下面彰显其意,使众生理解不产生谬误。或者执着邪恶为正义,或者执着虚妄为真实,或者执着不了义为究竟义,都是谬误的。从下面开始第二部分说明是为谁而作,这里面有三类人。一是有善根的人,二是示方(指示方向)

English

English version: This is the correct cause. '言是故应者' (Yan shi gu ying zhe) summarizes and explains it. Starting from the second section '说有五分者' (Shuo you wu fen zhe), it is a general introduction. '因缘分' (Yin yuan fen, the section on causes and conditions) and others are separate explanations. The title of the text is understandable. From below, the second part indicates the intention behind the creation. There are two points here. First, it directly states the intention, and second, it raises a question. The parts that are difficult to understand from '修多罗中' (Xiu tuo luo zhong, within the Sutras) are analyzed and distinguished. Within the first point, there are two sub-points. First, a question is asked, and second, an answer is given. '言有何因缘而造此论者' (Yan you he yin yuan er zao ci lun zhe) asks about the intention behind the creation. From below, the formal answer begins. There are three points here. First, a brief statement is made, second, '云何为八' (Yun he wei ba, what are the eight) and below explain separately, and third, '有如是等' (You ru shi deng, having such qualities) and below provide a concluding explanation. Within the separate explanations, there are two points. First, a general intention is stated, and second, from '第三' (Di san, the third) and below, it is explained for whom it is written. In the initial '令众生离苦者' (Ling zhong sheng li ku zhe, to enable sentient beings to be free from suffering), the reason why sentient beings are constantly in the three evil realms and constantly suffer is because they are deluded about the truth. Since they do not know right from wrong, they create evil deeds and are constantly in the three evil realms, like a person trapped at home with no hope of leaving, which is very pitiful. Therefore, the Bodhisattva creates this treatise to reveal the ultimate truth, enabling people to understand right from wrong and escape suffering. '言得究竟乐者' (Yan de jiu jing le zhe, to attain ultimate happiness), the reason why sentient beings cannot attain happiness is because they do not know that good deeds are what should be done. Therefore, the Bodhisattva proclaims various good deeds, enabling sentient beings to know to practice and enter, attaining the happiness of Nirvana. Why not attain the happiness of humans and gods? Because it is not ultimate, and it is all impermanent, so they are not allowed to attain it. '言非求世间名利敬者' (Yan fei qiu shi jian ming li jing zhe, not seeking worldly fame, profit, and respect), there are two meanings. First, regarding the Bodhisattva, I am doing this for sentient beings to be free from suffering and attain happiness, and I am not seeking fame and profit, avoiding others' criticism. Second, for the sentient beings being saved, the Dharma I speak is not for them to seek worldly respect, but only for them to seek inner enlightenment of unsurpassed Bodhi, so I speak this Dharma. Next, it clarifies the Dharma to be revealed. '言为欲解释如来根本义者' (Yan wei yu jie shi ru lai gen ben yi zhe, to explain the fundamental meaning of the Tathagata), it explains that the reason being spoken is not without basis. Below, it clarifies the intention, so that sentient beings' understanding does not produce errors. Either clinging to evil as righteousness, or clinging to falsehood as truth, or clinging to incomplete meaning as ultimate meaning, all are errors. From below, the second part explains for whom it is written, and there are three types of people here. First, those with good roots, and second, 示方 (shi fang, those who show the direction). --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version: Therefore, it is said that it comprehensively encompasses the vast and profound, boundless meaning of the Tathagata's (如来) deep Dharma (法). It is not the narrow principle of the Hinayana (小乘), so it is called vast. The Buddha (佛) is what can be exhausted, so it is called the profound Dharma. The principle is infinitely equal, so it is called boundless. Those who should expound this treatise summarize and express the intention of creating the treatise. The initial introductory section ends. Starting from the Establishing Meaning Section, the second part below clarifies the formal interpretation section. This section has three parts: first, the Establishing Meaning Section; in the middle, the Explaining Section; and finally, the Cultivating Faith Section. Why are there these three parts? There are two reasons: one is the order of preaching the Dharma. Those who want to preach the Dharma must first establish the purpose of the doctrine, so they first establish the meaning. Once the purpose is determined, it is widely explained and demonstrated, so the second is the Explaining Section. The intention of preaching the Dharma is not just empty talk, but like the saying that practicing can obtain benefits, so after the Dharma is preached completely, the third is the Cultivating Faith Section. Second, the object of preaching the Dharma, because there are three types of people with superior, intermediate, and inferior faculties, so there are three sections. The Establishing Meaning Section is for people with superior faculties, the Explaining Section is for people with intermediate faculties, and the Cultivating Faith Section is for people with inferior faculties. It is acceptable to preach the Dharma to people with superior and intermediate faculties, but why not explain it widely to people with inferior faculties? Because people with superior and intermediate faculties can understand when they hear the Dharma, while people with inferior faculties cannot understand, so they need to show the method of practice and encourage them to practice in order to enter. Because their nature is dull, they are guided to enter through practice, so it is not explained widely. The initial Establishing Meaning Section has three parts: one is the Manifestation Chapter, two is the formal explanation of the meaning, and three is the summary. The Establishing Meaning Section that will be discussed next is the Manifestation Chapter. 'Establishing' means establishing the meaning; 'meaning' means having profound principles, so it is called meaning. The extremely profound principle of Mahayana (摩诃衍) is not a shallow reason, so it is called a profound principle. Mahayana, the following is the formal explanation. This section has two parts: one is establishing the two chapters, and two is explaining the two chapters. 'Mahā' (摩诃) means great, and 'Yana' (衍) means vehicle. This principle is as widely explained before. What is called Dharma, with its own essence as the body, is called Dharma. The principle does not depend on others, so it is called self-essence. Someone asks: All dharmas do not have their own self-nature, and the meaning of non-birth and non-death in the virtue of joy is called permanence. Why does everything like this not depend on others? The answer is: All dharmas are one body, there is no different individual, so the body of joy is different, there is no permanent body, so it is said that it does not depend. Someone rebuts: If so, using the tactile function of hardness as the function of a pillar, there is no --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
