English version Subduing the senses (controlling the sense organs). Second, diligently cultivate all kinds of good deeds to adorn merit. Third, uphold the precepts with sincerity, without regret or weariness. Fourth, cultivate great compassion, pitying all sentient beings. Fifth, deeply believe that the Buddha World-Honored One possesses great compassion. Sixth, for the sake of saving sentient beings, willingly endure all kinds of suffering. Seventh, be able to destroy all the suffering of sentient beings. Eighth, subdue the senses and possess correct views. Ninth, have no fear in the heart and do not crave rewards in the cycle of rebirth. Tenth, be happy to seek the wisdom of the Buddha, not happy to be a Śrāvaka or Pratyekabuddha. Eleventh, do not be arrogant when enjoying happiness, and do not regret when enduring suffering. Twelfth, respect the wise and destroy one's own arrogance. Thirteenth, be grateful and repay kindness. Fourteenth, possess a strong body. Fifteenth, protect and uphold the Dharma. Sixteenth, ensure that the Three Jewels (Buddha, Dharma, Sangha) are not cut off. Furthermore, the *Yogācārabhūmi-śāstra*, in the section on the Bodhisattva grounds, states that a Bodhisattva's aspiration for Bodhi arises from four conditions, four causes, and four powers. The four conditions are: First, seeing the inconceivable miraculous powers of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, or hearing about such things from a reliable source. Having heard this, one develops deep faith and understanding in the Great Bodhi, and therefore generates the Great Bodhicitta (aspiration for enlightenment). Second, although one has not personally seen or heard of the miraculous virtues of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, one deeply believes after hearing the teachings of the Bodhisattva-piṭaka (Bodhisattva's teachings), and generates Bodhicitta in order to obtain the subtle wisdom of the Tathāgata (Buddha). Third, or there is a type of person who, although they have not personally seen the Buddha, nor heard such a Dharma, sees that all the teachings of the Bodhisattva-piṭaka are about to perish, and then thinks: 'The teachings of the Bodhisattva-piṭaka, if they remain in the world for a long time, can remove the great suffering of countless sentient beings. I should uphold the teachings of the Bodhisattva-piṭaka and generate Bodhicitta, in order to eliminate the great suffering of countless sentient beings, and to protect the increasing power of the Bodhisattva-piṭaka.' They develop deep faith and understanding in the wisdom of the Tathāgata, and thus are able to generate Bodhicitta. Fourth, or there is a type of person who, although they have not seen the Dharma about to perish, sees in the degenerate age that various impure and evil sentient beings are disturbed in body and mind by the ten secondary afflictions, namely: much ignorance, much shamelessness, much stinginess and jealousy, much sorrow and suffering, much heaviness, much affliction, much evil conduct, much indulgence, much laziness, and much disbelief. Having seen these things, they then think: 'The great degenerate age is now arising, and various secondary afflictions are disturbing sentient beings. It is already difficult to find someone who can generate the inferior Śrāvaka-citta (desire to be an arhat), let alone someone who can generate the aspiration for Anuttarā-samyak-saṃbodhi (unsurpassed, complete and perfect enlightenment)?'

当应发大菩提心。令此恶世无量有情随学于我起菩提愿。由见恶世发心难得增上力故。发菩提心。云何四因。一谓诸菩萨菩萨种姓而得具足。二赖佛菩萨善友摄受。三于诸众生多起悲心。四于极多时生死大苦。难行苦行无有怯畏。云何四力。一谓诸菩萨由自功力。能于无上正等菩提。深生爱乐。二由他功力。深生爱乐。三宿习大乘相应善法。今得暂见诸佛菩萨。或暂得闻称扬赞叹。即能速发大菩提心。况睹神力闻其正法。四于现法中。亲近善士。听闻正法。谛思惟等。长时修习种种善法。由此加行发菩提心。三显行相者。希求为相。希求有二。一求菩提。二求利生。故瑜伽论云。菩萨起心求菩提时。发如是心。说如是言。愿我决定当证无上正等菩提能作有情一切义利。又云。最初发心。于诸众生发起二种善胜意乐。一者利益意乐。谓欲从诸不善处拔济众生安置善处。二者安乐意乐。谓于贫匮无依无怙诸众生所。离染污心。欲与种种饶益乐具。又般若经论发心行住而有四义。一者广大心。四生三界咸是慈悲所度之者。二第一心。咸令有情得无余依涅槃胜果。三常心。虽度众生。不见身外有众生相。皆即我身。故能常度一切众生。四不颠倒心。不起我执执有自他有情我等。此等诸教皆以决定希求二利。为发菩提心之行相。 四辨所缘者。恒以所求所度而为所缘。故大般若经云。善现白佛。初发菩提心菩萨何所思惟。佛言。恒正思惟一切相智。又瑜伽论云。以大菩提及诸有情一切义利。为所缘境。缘菩提故。自求当证。缘众生故。悲心希济。五明胜利者。大集经颂云。若乐喜发菩提心。如是乃能断恶有。能为人天开正路。能闭八难邪险径。诸根具足不盲聋。皆由至心发菩提。又颂云。能见十方诸世尊。能闻无上甘露味。若能至心发菩提。是故能破疑憍慢。无量智慧得自在。能为众生说法界。华严经云。若有发菩提心。则为不断一切佛种。则为严净一切佛刹。则为成就一切众生。则为了达一切法性。则令一切诸众生界悉得安稳。瑜伽菩萨地云。发心菩萨所摄善法有二种胜。一因二果。谓所摄善法皆是无上正等菩提能证因故。所摄无上是此果故。尚胜二乘。况余一切世间因果。又云。发心菩萨有二胜利。一者初发心已即是众生尊重福田。一切众生皆应供养。亦作一切众生父母。二者发心即能摄受无恼害福。由此菩萨成就如是无恼害福。得倍轮王护所守护。由得如是护所护故。若寝若悟若迷闷等。一切魍魉人非人等。不能娆害。又此菩萨转受余生。由如是福所摄持故。少病无病。不为长时重病所触。常益众生无劳无损。六谈德量者。华严经颂云 现代汉语译本 四、辨别所缘(所缘:专注的对象)者。菩萨总是以所求的佛果和所要度化的众生作为专注的对象。所以《大般若经》中说:‘善现(须菩提的别名)问佛,初发菩提心(菩提心:为求证悟而发的心)的菩萨思惟什么?’佛说:‘恒常正确地思惟一切相智(一切相智:佛的智慧)。’又《瑜伽师地论》说:以大菩提(大菩提:伟大的觉悟)以及所有有情(有情:一切有生命的众生)的一切义利作为所缘境。因为缘于菩提,所以自己求证;因为缘于众生,所以以悲心希望救济他们。 五、阐明五种殊胜利益者。《大集经》的偈颂说:‘如果乐于欢喜地发起菩提心,这样才能断除恶业,能为人天开辟正路,能关闭八难(八难:八种障碍修行的境况)的邪恶险径。诸根(诸根:眼、耳、鼻、舌、身、意六根)具足,不盲不聋,都是由于至诚地发起菩提心。’又偈颂说:‘能见到十方诸世尊,能听到无上的甘露味(甘露味:佛法的滋味)。如果能至诚地发起菩提心,所以能破除疑惑和骄慢,无量的智慧得以自在,能为众生说法界(法界:宇宙万法)。’《华严经》说:‘如果有人发起菩提心,就是不断绝一切佛种(佛种:成佛的种子),就是庄严清净一切佛刹(佛刹:佛所居住的国土),就是成就一切众生,就是了达一切法性(法性:万法的本性),就令一切诸众生界都得到安稳。’《瑜伽菩萨地论》说:发起菩提心的菩萨所摄取的善法有两种殊胜之处,一是因,二是果。所摄取的善法都是无上正等菩提(无上正等菩提:最高的、平等而正确的觉悟)的能证之因,所摄取的无上之果也是由此而来,尚且胜过二乘(二乘:声闻乘和缘觉乘),更何况其他一切世间的因果。 又说:‘发起菩提心的菩萨有两种殊胜利益,一是初发心后,立即成为众生尊重和培植福德的良田,一切众生都应该供养,也成为一切众生的父母。二是发起菩提心就能摄受没有恼害的福德。由此菩萨成就这样的无恼害福德,得到超过转轮王(转轮王:统治世界的理想君王)的守护。由于得到这样的守护,无论是睡眠、清醒还是迷闷等状态,一切魍魉(魍魉:山精鬼怪)和非人(非人:鬼神等)都不能侵扰伤害。而且这位菩萨转生到其他地方,由于这样的福德所摄持,少病无病,不被长期的重病所困扰,常常利益众生而没有劳累和损失。 六、谈论功德和器量。《华严经》的偈颂说:

English

English version Four, discerning the object of focus (所缘 Suo Yuan: the object of focus). Bodhisattvas always take the sought-after Buddhahood and the sentient beings to be liberated as the objects of focus. Therefore, the *Great Perfection of Wisdom Sutra* says: 'Subhuti (善现 Shan Xian, another name for Subhuti) asked the Buddha, 'What does a Bodhisattva who has initially aroused the Bodhi-mind (菩提心 Pu Ti Xin: the mind set on attaining enlightenment) contemplate?'' The Buddha said, 'Constantly and correctly contemplate the All-Knowing Wisdom (一切相智 Yi Qie Xiang Zhi: the wisdom of the Buddha).' Also, the *Yoga-bhumi-sastra* says: 'Take the Great Bodhi (大菩提 Da Pu Ti: great enlightenment) and all the benefits of all sentient beings (有情 You Qing: all living beings with consciousness) as the object of focus. Because of focusing on Bodhi, one seeks to realize it oneself; because of focusing on sentient beings, one hopes to help them with compassion.' Five, elucidating the five kinds of supreme benefits. The verse in the *Great Collection Sutra* says: 'If one is happy to arouse the Bodhi-mind, then one can cut off evil karma, open the right path for humans and gods, and close the evil and dangerous paths of the eight difficulties (八难 Ba Nan: eight kinds of situations that hinder practice). Having all faculties (诸根 Zhu Gen: the six faculties of eye, ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind) complete, not being blind or deaf, is all due to sincerely arousing the Bodhi-mind.' Another verse says: 'One can see the Buddhas of the ten directions, and hear the supreme nectar taste (甘露味 Gan Lu Wei: the taste of the Dharma). If one can sincerely arouse the Bodhi-mind, then one can break through doubts and arrogance, and unlimited wisdom can be attained freely, and one can speak the Dharma Realm (法界 Fa Jie: the universe and all its phenomena) for sentient beings.' The *Flower Garland Sutra* says: 'If someone arouses the Bodhi-mind, then they will not cut off all Buddha-seeds (佛种 Fo Zhong: the seeds of becoming a Buddha), they will adorn and purify all Buddha-lands (佛刹 Fo Cha: the lands where Buddhas reside), they will accomplish all sentient beings, they will understand all Dharma-nature (法性 Fa Xing: the nature of all phenomena), and they will bring peace and stability to all realms of sentient beings.' The *Yoga-bhumi-sastra* says: 'The virtuous dharmas collected by a Bodhisattva who has aroused the Bodhi-mind have two kinds of supremacy: one is the cause, and the other is the effect. The virtuous dharmas collected are all the cause of attaining the Unsurpassed Perfect Enlightenment (无上正等菩提 Wu Shang Zheng Deng Pu Ti: the highest, equal, and correct enlightenment), and the unsurpassed effect collected also comes from this. It is even superior to the Two Vehicles (二乘 Er Cheng: Sravaka Vehicle and Pratyekabuddha Vehicle), let alone all other worldly causes and effects.' It also says: 'A Bodhisattva who has aroused the Bodhi-mind has two kinds of supreme benefits: first, after initially arousing the mind, one immediately becomes a field of merit respected by sentient beings, and all sentient beings should make offerings, and one also becomes the parents of all sentient beings. Second, arousing the Bodhi-mind can collect blessings free from harm. Because of this, the Bodhisattva achieves such blessings free from harm, and receives protection exceeding that of a Wheel-Turning King (转轮王 Zhuan Lun Wang: an ideal king who rules the world). Because of receiving such protection, whether sleeping, awake, or in a state of confusion, all goblins (魍魉 Wang Liang: mountain spirits and monsters) and non-humans (非人 Fei Ren: ghosts, gods, etc.) cannot disturb or harm them. Moreover, when this Bodhisattva is reborn elsewhere, due to the support of such blessings, they will have few illnesses or no illnesses, and will not be troubled by long-term serious illnesses, and will always benefit sentient beings without fatigue or loss.' Six, discussing merit and capacity. The verse in the *Flower Garland Sutra* says: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
