The above, starting from 'no ignorance,' explains the Twelve Nidānas (dvādaśāṅga-pratītyasamutpāda, twelve links of dependent origination) to dispel the doubts of the Pratyekabuddhas (solitary realizer). Why? It is for practitioners to understand the nature of reality (dharmatā), not to follow the world's changes, and not to dwell on the appearances of stillness, disturbance, suffering, and joy. Therefore, it is said, 'No old age and death, and also no exhaustion of old age and death.'", "No suffering, accumulation, cessation, or path.", "If one is attached to worldly desires, there will be the affliction of suffering and accumulation (the origin of suffering). If one is厌恶(厌恶) of the world, there will be the path to the cessation of suffering. The Bodhisattva (bodhisattva, an enlightened being) in between these two, does not see suffering or accumulation to be abandoned, nor cessation or path to be sought. The mind of taking and discarding ceases, and both suffering and joy are forgotten. Therefore, it is said that there are no Four Noble Truths (catvāri āryasatyāni). This is to cut off the doubts of the Śrāvakas (a disciple who attains enlightenment by hearing the teachings). Therefore, it is said, 'No suffering, accumulation, cessation, or path.'", "No wisdom and also no attainment.", "That which can observe is wisdom; that which is observed is attainment. Since suffering and joy have been forgotten, and the mind of observation does not arise, this is called 'attaining no attainment.' This kind of 'attainment' is different from worldly attainment. To break the Bodhisattva's attachment to attainment, it is said, 'No wisdom and also no attainment.'", "Because of no attainment, the Bodhisattva relies on Prajñāpāramitā (Prajñāpāramitā, the Perfection of Wisdom), and therefore the mind has no hindrance.", "Foolish emotions chase after external circumstances, and thoughts create hindrances. Wise awareness clarifies the mind, and there is no obstruction. Therefore, it is said, 'No hindrance.'", "Because of no hindrance, there is no fear, and one is far from all inverted dreams.", "This explains the delusions that the world clings to, like seeing water in a mirage, seeing flowers in the sky, a Gandharva-nagara (Gandharva-nagara, a city of celestial musicians, a mirage), like turtle hair in water, like a running rabbit's horns, like a stone woman giving birth. The five desires (pañca kāmaguṇāḥ, five objects of sense pleasure) of the world, glory, wealth, and so on, are also like this. Foolish people think they are real, and the mind of craving arises, and suffering comes. What doubt is there about fear? Turning away from the right path is called inversion, and impermanence is called dreams. Wise people understand that dreams are empty and illusory, and their nature is unborn. Arising is due to delusional thoughts. Bodhisattvas constantly contemplate the truth, and evil thoughts do not arise, so fear has no source. With a mind of right concentration, inverted thoughts cease. Therefore, it is said, 'No fear, far from all inverted dreams.'", "Ultimately, Nirvāṇa (nirvāṇa, liberation).", "This explains that all dharmas and the Buddha-nature (Buddha-dhātu, the essence of Buddhahood) in the practitioner's body are originally unborn, and now there is no extinction. Therefore, it is said, 'Ultimately, Nirvāṇa.'", "The Buddhas of the three times rely on" ] } ``` -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 般若波罗蜜多故。得阿耨多罗三藐三菩提。 三世者。即过去未来现在也。诸者言一切。佛者梵音。此云觉。自觉觉他。觉了一切。故名为佛。所言依般若波罗蜜多者。即是依智慧。到彼岸支。言得阿耨多罗三藐三菩提者。此云无上正真等正觉道。是故道心众生。观照不见有苦乐可得故。则无物能累。故言无上。所证非虚非邪。故言正真。于自他相。了无分别。而善觉一切诸根利钝进退之志。故言等正觉果。证此果。皆由智慧。所言得者。如前释得无所得。行此观者。即游解脱之迳。故言道也。 故知般若波罗蜜多。是大神咒。 神咒者。即是总持义也。智慧能持一切。故言总持。因是智慧。故证果非小。故言是大神咒。 是大明咒。 愚痴有碍为暗。智慧圆通。岂非明。能因此见智非小。故言是大明咒。 是无上咒。 于诸说中。此演为最。故言是无上咒。 是无等等咒。 世及二乘智。比量不能及。故言是无等等咒。 能除一切苦。 即明此经能除生死轮转之事。譬如明灯能破黑闇。亦如妙药消除诸毒。复如金錍挑除眼瞙。举要言之。譬如如意摩尼宝珠所求皆得所愿皆成。若人能于此经。成思慧者。除诸恶报。灭三业鄣。亦复如是。故言能除一切苦。 真实不虚。 观行不邪。证果不谬。故言真实不虚。 故说般若波罗蜜多咒。 意在智慧。到彼岸支。能总持法。为修觉人。故须说也。 即说咒曰。 意在欲说总持偈言。 ```json { "translations": [ "现代汉语译本", "依靠般若波罗蜜多（Prajnaparamita，智慧到彼岸），才能证得阿耨多罗三藐三菩提（Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi，无上正等正觉）。", "‘三世’指的是过去、未来、现在。‘诸’指的是一切。‘佛’是梵语，翻译成汉语是‘觉’，自觉、觉他、觉悟一切，所以称为佛。所说的依靠般若波罗蜜多，就是依靠智慧到达彼岸。所说的证得阿耨多罗三藐三菩提，翻译成汉语是无上正真等正觉之道。因此，发了道心（菩提心）的众生，观照时不见有苦乐可以执着，所以没有事物能够束缚他，所以说是‘无上’。所证得的不是虚妄也不是邪恶，所以说是‘正真’。对于自己和他人，没有分别，而且能够清楚地觉察一切众生的根器利钝和精进退步的意愿，所以说是‘等正觉果’。证得这个果位，都是由于智慧。所说的‘得’，如前面解释的‘得无所得’。修行这种观照，就是走在解脱的道路上，所以说是‘道’。", "所以知道般若波罗蜜多是大神咒（Maha-mantra，伟大的真言）。", "‘神咒’就是总持（Dharani，总摄忆持）的意思。智慧能够总摄忆持一切，所以说是‘总持’。因为是智慧，所以证得的果位非同小可，所以说是‘大神咒’。", "是大明咒（Maha-vidya-mantra，伟大的明咒）。", "愚痴有障碍是黑暗，智慧圆融通达，难道不是光明吗？能够因此见到智慧非同小可，所以说是‘大明咒’。", "是无上咒（Anuttara-mantra，无上的真言）。", "在各种说法中，这个最为殊胜，所以说是‘无上咒’。", "是无等等咒（Asamasama-mantra，无与伦比的真言）。", "世间和二乘（声闻和缘觉）的智慧，用比量都不能达到，所以说是‘无等等咒’。", "能除一切苦。", "说明这个经典能够消除生死轮回的事情。譬如明灯能够破除黑暗，也像妙药能够消除各种毒害，又像金錍（一种医疗器械）能够挑除眼翳。总而言之，譬如如意摩尼宝珠，所求都能得到，所愿都能成就。如果有人能够对这个经典，成就思慧（通过思考获得的智慧），消除各种恶报，灭除身口意三业的障碍，也是这样。所以说‘能除一切苦’。", "真实不虚。", "观照修行不邪恶，证得的果位不谬误，所以说‘真实不虚’。", "故说般若波罗蜜多咒。", "意思是智慧到达彼岸，能够总摄忆持佛法，为了修行觉悟的人，所以需要宣说。", "即说咒曰。", "意思是想要宣说总持的偈语。" ], "english_translations": [ "English version", "Due to Prajnaparamita (Perfection of Wisdom), one attains Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi (Unsurpassed Perfect Enlightenment).", "‘Three times’ refers to the past, future, and present. ‘All’ means everything. ‘Buddha’ is a Sanskrit term, translated into Chinese as ‘Awakening,’ self-awakening, awakening others, awakening to everything, hence called Buddha.
