English

English version: The Buddha: 'Subhuti, what do you think? If someone filled three thousand great thousand worlds with the seven treasures, as many as there are sands in the Ganges, and gave them all away as alms, would that person gain much merit?' Subhuti said, 'Very much, World Honored One.' This is a brief answer. To have Subhuti answer twice, the first is a brief answer, the second is an explanatory answer. Look, for example, the number of sands in the Ganges alone is already very numerous, countless, let alone the sands themselves. This is an explanatory answer. From here onwards, is Shakyamuni Buddha's true answer. The Buddha: 'Subhuti, I now truthfully tell you, you must believe it. If there are good men and good women who use the seven treasures filling three thousand great thousand worlds, as many as there are sands in the Ganges, to give as alms, this is initiating a supreme action, would they gain much merit?' (This is) asking what they understand. (Subhuti) gains much merit, Shakyamuni Buddha asks Subhuti how much. Subhuti said, 'Very much, World Honored One.' This is an answer of understanding. From here onwards, is Shakyamuni Buddha's teaching and measurement. Look, for example, the Buddha tells Subhuti, if good men and good women, also including those who aspire to the Mahayana Buddhism, regarding this Sutra, even upholding the four-line gatha (verse) etc., and explaining it to others, this is supreme in terms of career, and this merit surpasses the previous merit. Surpassing the previous merit, this is the true measurement. Supremacy has four types: first, the supremacy of receiving and upholding merit, upholding the Sutra surpasses giving alms; second, being worthy of respect and offerings; third, being able to do what is difficult to do; fourth, being able to generate supreme thoughts. Those who hear the Diamond Sutra can obtain these four supremacies. Surpassing the previous merit, is the supremacy of receiving and upholding merit. A verse says: It shows knowing that upholding the four-line gatha in the Sutra, surpasses the cause of giving alms with the seven treasures as numerous as the sands in the Ganges. Therefore, it is shown to all sentient beings, universally encouraging them to understand the meaning of true reality. Giving alms is not the cause of Bodhi (enlightenment), Bodhi can be obtained through the Dharma (teachings). From here onwards, it speaks of measurement. The Buddha: 'Furthermore, Subhuti, wherever this Sutra, or even a four-line gatha from it, is spoken, know that this place should be revered and worshipped by all the world, with its gods, humans, and asuras (Asura, meaning non-gods).' Wherever this Sutra is spoken, it does not distinguish the superiority or inferiority of sentient beings. That is, wherever it is spoken, all the world, are categories of sentient beings. The 'between' refers to reincarnation in the six realms. Should be revered and worshipped, is worthy of respect and offerings. In order not to serve gods and humans, (therefore) for example, like a Buddha pagoda or temple. Like a Buddha pagoda or temple, is an analogy, in order to let them understand. The original pronunciation in the West, is called Stupa (Stupa, meaning pagoda), the pronunciation of those who transmitted it was erroneous and abbreviated. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

云塔也。译就中言。名高胜处三界不能动得。庙者貌也。是此中言塔者。胜者所居。皆应供养。从此难作能作。举。何况有人。尽能授持读。诵。须菩提当知是人。成就最上第一希有之法者。又般若胜相前之五度。故名第一希有之法。总授持读诵得何勿。举 若是经典。所在之处。则为有佛。若尊重弟子。尊重弟子者。真菩萨也。三乘弟子。菩萨为尊。此名结文 外器者天亲释也。故名外器也。上来诸文不同。是第二赞深生信。并降伏七个相并了。从此第三当立名劝学。于中有二问答。先举初文。举 须菩提。白佛言世尊。当何名此经。我等云何奉持者。当何名此经者。问前所说经之总名。我等云何奉持者。问得名已受持轨范。范是则也 此是须菩提。索经名。须菩提言。我所得惠眼。未曾得闻如是深经。敬法希奇。伏望世尊。与我说名。喻隐士抚琴。整半道索名。为此希奇。所以半道。问名其琴所抚曲。名青磎。幽涧向山。石一非泉 须菩提请问敬。释迦答。举。佛告须菩提。是经名金刚般若。波罗蜜。答前问也。以是名字。汝当奉持。答后问也。此是略答答敬。所以者何者。徴问。广释。举 须菩提。佛说般若波罗蜜(名句味也是智慧)则非般若波罗蜜者。遮取着也。依名言取非实故。所以不言。是名般若波罗蜜 现代汉语译本 云塔也(Yunta ye)。翻译成我们这里的语言,意思是高胜之处,三界都无法动摇。庙,是外貌的意思。在我们这里,塔是殊胜者所居住的地方,都应该供养。从这难以做到的事情能够做到。举例说明,更何况有人能够完全接受、持诵、读诵。须菩提(Subhuti),你应该知道这个人,成就了最上、第一、稀有的法。而且般若(Prajna)殊胜之相,在前面的五度(paramitas)之上,所以名为第一稀有之法。总的接受、持诵、读诵得到什么呢?举例说明。如果是经典所在之处,就如同有佛。若尊重弟子,尊重弟子,是真正的菩萨。三乘弟子中,菩萨最为尊贵。这叫做总结文。外器,是天亲(Vasubandhu)的解释,所以叫做外器。以上这些经文不同,是第二次赞叹深信,并且降伏七个相已经完毕。从这里开始第三部分,应当立名劝学。其中有二个问答。先举出第一个经文。举例说明。须菩提(Subhuti)问佛说:‘世尊,应当如何称呼这部经?我们应当如何奉持?’‘应当如何称呼这部经?’是问前面所说经的总名。‘我们应当如何奉持?’是问得到经名后,接受和持守的规范,规范就是法则。这是须菩提(Subhuti)索要经名。须菩提(Subhuti)说,我所得的慧眼,从未曾听闻过如此深奥的经。敬法,觉得非常稀奇。希望世尊,为我说出经名。比喻隐士抚琴,在半路询问琴名。因为这非常稀奇,所以在半路问琴名,所弹奏的曲子,名叫青溪幽涧向山石一,并非泉水。须菩提(Subhuti)请问,释迦(Sakyamuni)回答。举例说明。佛告诉须菩提(Subhuti):‘这部经名叫金刚般若波罗蜜(Vajra Prajna Paramita)。’回答前面的问题。‘用这个名字,你们应当奉持。’回答后面的问题。这是简略的回答。‘为什么呢?’是提问,广泛解释。举例说明。须菩提(Subhuti),佛说般若波罗蜜(Prajna Paramita)(名句,味道也是智慧),就不是般若波罗蜜(Prajna Paramita),是遮止执着。因为依靠名言取用,并非实相。所以不说,‘是名般若波罗蜜(Prajna Paramita)。’

English

English version Yunta ye (Yunta ye). Translated into our language, it means a high and victorious place that the Three Realms cannot shake. Miao means appearance. Here, a pagoda is where the victorious ones reside, and all should make offerings. From this, the difficult can be made possible. For example, how much more so if someone can fully receive, uphold, read, and recite. Subhuti (Subhuti), you should know that this person has achieved the most supreme, first, and rare Dharma. Moreover, the excellent aspect of Prajna (Prajna), above the preceding five paramitas, is therefore called the first rare Dharma. What is gained by totally receiving, upholding, reading, and reciting? For example, if a sutra is present in a place, it is as if the Buddha is there. If one respects disciples, respecting disciples means true Bodhisattvas. Among the disciples of the Three Vehicles, the Bodhisattva is the most honored. This is called the concluding passage. Outer vessel refers to Vasubandhu's (Vasubandhu) explanation, hence it is called the outer vessel. The preceding texts are different; this is the second praise of deep faith, and the subduing of the seven aspects is now complete. From here begins the third part, which should establish a name and encourage learning. Within this, there are two questions and answers. First, the initial text is presented. For example, Subhuti (Subhuti) asked the Buddha, 'World Honored One, what should this sutra be called? How should we uphold it?' 'What should this sutra be called?' asks for the general name of the sutra mentioned earlier. 'How should we uphold it?' asks for the norms of receiving and upholding after obtaining the sutra's name; norms are rules. This is Subhuti (Subhuti) requesting the sutra's name. Subhuti (Subhuti) said, 'With the eye of wisdom I have attained, I have never heard such a profound sutra. I revere the Dharma and find it very rare. I hope the World Honored One will tell me the name of the sutra.' It is like a recluse playing the zither, asking for the name of the zither halfway through. Because this is very rare, the name of the zither is asked halfway through, and the name of the tune being played is called Green Creek, a secluded stream facing a mountain stone, not a spring. Subhuti (Subhuti) respectfully asks, and Sakyamuni (Sakyamuni) answers. For example, the Buddha told Subhuti (Subhuti), 'This sutra is called the Vajra Prajna Paramita (Vajra Prajna Paramita).' This answers the previous question. 'With this name, you should uphold it.' This answers the latter question. This is a brief answer. 'Why?' is a question, explained extensively. For example, Subhuti (Subhuti), the Buddha said Prajna Paramita (Prajna Paramita) (a famous phrase, the taste is also wisdom), then it is not Prajna Paramita (Prajna Paramita), which is to prevent attachment. Because it relies on nominal usage and is not the true form. Therefore, it is not said, 'It is called Prajna Paramita (Prajna Paramita).' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
