至元熙二年六月十日译毕。后至大宗永初二年十二月二十日。与梵本再校勘已。宋主请求那跋陀罗三藏讲此经。三藏恨以方音未通。不尽经旨。乃入道场请念观音。未盈七日。遂梦易汉首于梵头。因即洞解秦言。时号换头三藏是也。佛驮跋陀罗三藏。初至关中。问鸠摩罗什法师曰。汝所译经论云何。什曰。法华维摩等经。中十二门等论。三藏曰。如君所译。未出人度外。何足广置大名。时关中盛称三藏。为大论师。他日秦主姚兴。请三藏于东宫持论。座下学士三千余人。释有生肇融睿等。儒谢灵运费长房等。皆莫敢举问。什公乃抗声问曰。君以云何为正见。三藏曰。谓见一切法空。什曰。既空何所见。对曰。见空可非无见。什曰。空可见否。三藏曰。空不可见。什又问。君以云何破色空。三藏曰。色无自体。聚众微以成色。折色至微。所以色空。什曰。君以折色至微令色空。当云何复破极微空。三藏曰。众人皆以方分。分之明极微空。吾意不然。什曰。于意云何。三藏曰。由一微故有众微。由众微故有一微。微无自性。何折之有。什公闻此。茫然不知是何言说。遂不复问。时众皆莫达三藏一乘深旨。又宗辅什公乃谓。三藏无答。于是休论。三藏归院已。生肇宝云等。又诣问欲决前义云。什公未晓所谈。三藏曰。此义难 至元熙二年六月十日翻译完毕。后来到大宗永初二年十二月二十日,与梵文本再次校对勘正完毕。宋主请求那跋陀罗三藏(Buddhabhadra,意为觉贤)讲解这部经。那跋陀罗三藏苦于方言不通,不能完全表达经文的旨意,于是进入道场祈请观音菩萨。不到七天,就梦见自己的汉人头颅替换成了梵人的头颅,因此立刻通晓了汉语。当时人们称他为换头三藏。佛驮跋陀罗三藏(Buddhabhadra,意为觉贤)初到关中时,问鸠摩罗什法师(Kumārajīva)说:‘您所翻译的经论怎么样?’鸠摩罗什说:‘《法华经》、《维摩诘经》等经典,以及《中论》、《十二门论》等论著。’佛驮跋陀罗三藏说:‘依您所翻译的,还没有超出常人的理解范围,何必广为宣扬大名呢?’当时关中盛赞佛驮跋陀罗三藏为大论师。后来秦主姚兴请佛驮跋陀罗三藏在东宫主持辩论,座下有学士三千余人,其中有释有生、僧肇、僧睿等,儒士有谢灵运、费长房等,都无人敢提问。鸠摩罗什于是高声问道:‘您认为什么是正见?’佛驮跋陀罗三藏说:‘我认为见到一切法都是空。’鸠摩罗什说:‘既然是空,那又见到了什么?’回答说:‘见到空,并非没有见。’鸠摩罗什又问:‘空可以被见到吗?’佛驮跋陀罗三藏说:‘空是不可见的。’鸠摩罗什又问:‘您用什么方法来破除色空?’佛驮跋陀罗三藏说:‘色没有自体,是由众多微尘聚集而成的。将色分解到极微,所以色是空的。’鸠摩罗什说:‘您用分解色到极微的方法使色变为空,那么又该如何破除极微的空呢?’佛驮跋陀罗三藏说:‘众人都是用方位来分割它,以表明极微是空的。我的意思不是这样。’鸠摩罗什问:‘您的意思是怎样?’佛驮跋陀罗三藏说:‘由于一个微尘,所以有众多微尘;由于众多微尘,所以有一个微尘。微尘没有自性,有什么可以分解的呢?’鸠摩罗什听了这些,茫然不知所云,于是不再发问。当时众人都不明白佛驮跋陀罗三藏的一乘深奥旨意。而且宗辅鸠摩罗什的人认为,佛驮跋陀罗三藏没有回答上来,于是停止了辩论。佛驮跋陀罗三藏回到寺院后,僧生、僧肇、宝云等又去请教,想要解决之前的疑问,认为鸠摩罗什没有理解所谈的内容。佛驮跋陀罗三藏说:‘这个道理很难理解。’

The translation was completed on the tenth day of the sixth month of the second year of the Yuanxi era. Later, on the twentieth day of the twelfth month of the second year of the Dazong Yongchu era, it was re-examined and corrected with the Sanskrit text. The ruler of the Song dynasty requested Buddhabhadra (那跋陀罗三藏, meaning 'Awakened Goodness') to lecture on this scripture. Buddhabhadra was distressed that his unfamiliarity with the local dialect prevented him from fully conveying the scripture's meaning, so he entered the monastery and prayed to Avalokiteśvara (观音). In less than seven days, he dreamed that his Han Chinese head was replaced with a Sanskrit head, and he immediately understood the Chinese language. At that time, people called him the 'Head-Changing Tripiṭaka Master'. When Buddhabhadra (佛驮跋陀罗三藏, meaning 'Awakened Goodness') first arrived in Guanzhong, he asked the Dharma Master Kumārajīva (鸠摩罗什法师): 'How are the scriptures and treatises you have translated?' Kumārajīva replied: 'The *Lotus Sutra*, the *Vimalakirti Sutra*, and other scriptures, as well as the *Madhyamaka-kārikā* (中论) and *Dvādaśanikāya-śāstra* (十二门论) and other treatises.' Buddhabhadra said: 'According to your translations, they have not yet exceeded the understanding of ordinary people, so why widely proclaim a great name?' At that time, Guanzhong praised Buddhabhadra as a great master of treatises. Later, the Qin ruler Yao Xing invited Buddhabhadra to preside over a debate in the East Palace, with over three thousand scholars in attendance, including the monks Shi Yousheng, Sengzhao, and Sengrui, and the Confucian scholars Xie Lingyun and Fei Changfang, none of whom dared to ask questions. Kumārajīva then asked loudly: 'What do you consider to be right view?' Buddhabhadra said: 'I consider seeing all dharmas as empty.' Kumārajīva said: 'Since they are empty, then what is seen?' He replied: 'Seeing emptiness is not the same as not seeing.' Kumārajīva then asked: 'Can emptiness be seen?' Buddhabhadra said: 'Emptiness cannot be seen.' Kumārajīva then asked: 'What method do you use to refute the emptiness of form?' Buddhabhadra said: 'Form has no self-nature; it is formed by the aggregation of many minute particles. When form is broken down to the minute particles, therefore form is empty.' Kumārajīva said: 'You use the method of breaking down form to minute particles to make form empty, then how do you refute the emptiness of the minute particles?' Buddhabhadra said: 'People all use direction to divide it, to show that the minute particle is empty. That is not my meaning.' Kumārajīva asked: 'What is your meaning?' Buddhabhadra said: 'Because of one minute particle, there are many minute particles; because of many minute particles, there is one minute particle. Minute particles have no self-nature; what is there to break down?' After hearing this, Kumārajīva was at a loss for words and did not ask any further questions. At that time, the crowd did not understand Buddhabhadra's profound meaning of the One Vehicle. Moreover, those who supported Kumārajīva thought that Buddhabhadra had not answered, so they stopped the debate. After Buddhabhadra returned to the monastery, Sengsheng, Sengzhao, Baoyun, and others went to ask for clarification, wanting to resolve the previous doubts, believing that Kumārajīva had not understood what was being discussed. Buddhabhadra said: 'This principle is difficult to understand.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version: That's the end. What I said was very easy to understand, it's just that Kumarajiva (Kumarajiva) himself didn't understand. Kumarajiva later asked himself again, and it was the same as before, and in the end, he didn't figure it out. Youzhen asked. These are Kumarajiva's public remarks, recorded in 'The Treatise on the One Vehicle'. There was a Shramana (Sramana) named Youdao who wanted to study 'The Treatise on the One Vehicle' together, because they had both heard the teachings of the Tripitaka (Tripitaka), so they were recorded here as an attachment. During the Northern Qi Dynasty, Dharma Master Huiju disliked secular life from a young age and specialized in the Avatamsaka Sutra (Avatamsaka Sutra) when he grew up. For fifteen or sixteen years, in the monastery, he prostrated and circumambulated six times a day, reciting day and night without any懈怠. In a dream, he saw a boy who claimed to be Sudhana (Sudhana), who told Huiju: 'Since you can study the essence of the Avatamsaka Sutra and want to explore the realm of the Buddha, go south tomorrow, and I will give you the medicine of wisdom so that you can understand the meaning of the scriptures.' The next morning, Huiju told the monks about this, and then bathed in fragrant water, put on clean clothes, held an incense burner in his hand, took refuge in the Three Jewels (Triratna), and prayed that what he sought would surely be fulfilled as in the dream. Then he went south with the boy, with his heart and mouth focused, constantly reciting the name of Manjusri (Manjusri). A few miles down the road, he suddenly saw a pond, half a mile in radius, with various flowers and irises growing on the shore. He thought that the iris was the medicine of wisdom, so he ordered the boy to go into the water to pick it. Suddenly, he obtained a rhizome as thick as a cart axle. After returning to the temple, he made it into pills, and after taking only a date-sized amount, he felt light and comfortable, and his spirit was refreshed. He could recite tens of thousands of words a day. Therefore, he gained a profound understanding of the Avatamsaka Sutra, wrote more than ten volumes of commentaries on this sutra, and lectured on the Avatamsaka Sutra fifty times. During the Yongwei years of the Tang Dynasty, there was a layman named [樊-大+木] Xuanzhi, who was a classmate of Avatamsaka Zanggong. He began to study Buddhism at a young age and was proficient in the Five Classics, the Tripitaka, and the inner path. He specialized in studying the Avatamsaka Sutra and lived in Fangzhou Mountain. At first, he ate pine needles, and for more than sixty years, he recited the Avatamsaka Sutra without interruption. Fifty years ago, sweet springs gushed out from the place where he lived, enough for him to use, and delicious fruits grew in the forest, and every tree was full of fruit, which people from far and near could pick without any hindrance. Suddenly, it snowed heavily, the roads were blocked, and the vegetarian food was about to run out. At this time, a mountain god sent a medicine that looked like ghee (ghee) and tasted sweeter than milk. Eating one ti (unit of measurement) would not make him feel hungry for seven days, and he would have more energy, his body would be light, and his eyes would be bright. When he worshiped and recited the scriptures at night, lights would naturally appear. When he recited the scriptures during the day, many birds would gather to listen. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
