English version: If someone resembles a renunciant, spending their life solely begging to build Buddha images and stupas, without adhering to precepts, meditation, and seeking the Tathagata's (如来) blessings and Dharma (道法), though their appearance may seem virtuous, they actually contradict the Buddha's intention and are entirely not my Dharma. This is not the true path of the Tathagata. The third part is clear admonishments and exhortations. The first point is to explain that the kings of the degenerate age rely on their power and influence, stumble at times, leading to the decline of the true Dharma. They are exhorted to follow the teachings of Buddhism and propagate the Three Jewels (三宝) (Buddha, Dharma, Sangha). The second point is to explain that the fourfold disciples (四部弟子) (bhikshus, bhikshunis, upasakas, upasikas) and kings of the lower world, etc., obstruct the Three Jewels in ways that do not conform to the Dharma and precepts. They are exhorted to follow the Dharma and propagate the Three Jewels. The third point is to explain that in the future world, the fourfold disciples, minor kings, prefectural officials, and ministers, think they understand the Buddha's Dharma and believe it is not an external path, they should cultivate harmony and respect, and not argue with each other. The fourth point is to explain that some people find it strange that Buddhism has no true faith, and after death, they will fall into hell, and the remaining retribution is also inferior. They should respect the Three Jewels and practice according to the Dharma. The fifth point is to explain that if secular laws are used to prohibit and restrain the Sangha (众僧), this is a sign of the destruction of the Dharma. One should not govern renunciants according to secular laws. The sixth point is to explain that future disciples create sins themselves, leading to the downfall of the country, which is not the fault of the Three Jewels. The seventh point is to explain that the bhikshus seek fame and profit, and tell the king and princes causes and conditions that destroy the Dharma. Therefore, the bhikshus are exhorted not to seek fame and profit. From that time on, the sixteen great kings heard the Buddha's seven admonishments, saying that they should act according to the teachings of Buddhism, explaining that the benevolent kings heard the Buddha's admonishments and exhortations, were saddened and moved, shook the great thousand worlds, personally widely accepted and upheld, and followed the teachings of Buddhism. From that time on, the masses until this is an age without the Buddha, explaining that the devas (诸天) accept and uphold. From that time on, the immeasurable masses until Prajna Paramita (般若波罗蜜) (wisdom reaching the other shore), explaining that the masses accept and uphold. Another explanation is that five hundred years after the Buddha's Parinirvana, eighty-eight hundred and eight thousand, refers to guiding those who have not entered to enter, maturing those who are not mature, and liberating those who are not liberated. When there is no Buddha, Dharma, Sangha, and faithful men and women, it will be explained that the Dharma is propagated by people, so these are listed first. The Three Jewels in this sutra refer to true practice, so it is said that the Three Jewels are entrusted to the kings. The fourfold disciples are for the development of both internal and external practice. For the sentient beings of the three realms, true causes and conditions arise in altruistic actions. The five turbidities and evil world until the prince is a general summary. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version: Cultivating relative dharmas differs according to individual inclinations. These are the arrogant and noble ones who will destroy my Dharma. Claiming to have attained enlightenment without having done so are people of increased arrogance. Those who create laws to control my disciples see worldly actions and follow their emotions, clinging to these actions as correct. Those who do not allow others to renounce the world and practice, seeing those who turn away from the mundane and focus on practice, say that this is not the proper path of renunciation. Accepting things based on personal relationships, proclaiming them as good people, but not allowing the construction of Buddha images, cultivating the Dharmakaya (Dharmakaya: the body of the ultimate reality) but not completing the form of a Buddha stupa, this is also not cultivating the Sambhogakaya (Sambhogakaya: the body of bliss). Those who establish official positions to manage the Sangha (Sangha: the monastic community) each form factions, calling themselves Dharma masters. Being content with the status quo, relying on records to deal with monks, the country is already accustomed to this practice, but they do not understand, nor do they ask about right and wrong, because they are in high positions, so it is said that they are content with the status quo, relying on records to deal with monks. Allowing laypeople to sit above Bhikkhus (Bhikkhus: ordained monks), this is considering the path of transcendence as inferior, and worldly actions as superior. Allowing soldiers and slaves to become Bhikkhus is a metaphor for using flattering actions to obtain convenient benefits. Accepting specially invited offerings is not the proper conduct of a harmonious Sangha. The time when the Dharma will perish is not far off, this is not the true appearance of practice. The king blaming those who disturb my Dharma is precisely explaining that external protection has lost its proper standards. O King, in the Dharma-ending age, it explains that the appearance of practice has lost its proper standards, black and white are mixed up, so it is said that there is only the name of practice. Performing actions that do not conform to the Dharma is contrary to cultivating the Dharma. Openly opposing the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha, committing extremely illegal acts, these people only have worldly appearances, forever deviating from the proper path of renunciation, committing various faults and sins, this is counteracting the obstacles on the path of cultivation. Imprisoning Bhikkhus like prisoners, even if they cultivate contemplation, they cannot achieve liberation, and in the end, they can only be limited to a certain level. My saying that I will pass into Nirvana (Nirvana: the ultimate state of liberation) is precisely explaining the practice of Nirvana. The Second Scroll of the *Benevolent King Prajna Paramita Sutra* Bhikkhu Xianxiu wrote and circulated it Hoping that the teachings will continue uninterrupted in future generations. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
