English version 卍 New Continued Collection, Volume 58, No. 0991, Avatamsaka Sutra, Samantabhadra's Contemplation and Practice Dharma Method No. 991-A Preface to the Avatamsaka Sutra, Samantabhadra's Contemplation and Practice Dharma Method This book was created by Master Fazang to reveal the doctrine and purpose of Samantabhadra's contemplation and practice. Its text is simple but its meaning is inexhaustible, its outline is essential and its principles are interconnected. Scholars should devote themselves to it. One day, while the Avatamsaka nature teacher was reciting, he accidentally found it in an old box and held it to show me. I gladly opened and read it several times, and then wanted to publish it to the public, and also provide supplementary explanations to make it easier for later scholars to understand. If there are still incorrect points, I will wait for later knowledgeable people to correct them. Written respectfully by Shramana Sheng, a wandering monk of Dongshan, in the first year of Genroku, the year of Wuchen, in the third month of spring. No. 991 Avatamsaka Sutra, Samantabhadra's Contemplation and Practice Dharma Method Composed by Shramana Fazang According to the Avatamsaka Sutra, Samantabhadra's Contemplation and Practice Dharma Method, first explain Samantabhadra's contemplation, then explain Samantabhadra's practice. There are ten doors in the beginning: First, the door of converging phenomena to return to nature. It means observing that the self-nature of all dharmas is empty, distinguishing and understanding the one thought of the mind in practice, contemplating according to the principle, gathering the scattered and entering stillness, which is called cessation. Second, the door of arising practice based on principle. It means that the true principle observed is not a broken emptiness, so it does not hinder the clear manifestation of phenomena. Therefore, it makes cessation not stagnant in stillness, and does not hinder things. Without thought in things, arising illumination is called contemplation. Third, the door of unobstructedness between principle and phenomena. It means that the principle of true nature must penetrate the surface of things and manifest itself. The emptiness of phenomena does not destroy the true nature and establishes itself, not obscuring the principle. Principle and phenomena are mixed and integrated, two but not two. Therefore, Bodhisattvas simultaneously practice cessation and contemplation in one thought, unobstructed and observing together. Fourth, the door of complete annihilation of principle and phenomena. It means that due to the mutual penetration of principle and phenomena, both forms are lost, then it is neither phenomena nor principle, transcending and being completely detached. The mind in practice follows this, neither contemplation nor cessation, completely detached and without reliance. The sutra says that the Dharma is free from all contemplation and practice. Fifth, the door of harmonious interpenetration of mind and environment. It means that the unobstructed environment that transcends principle and phenomena, and the unobstructed mind that annihilates cessation and contemplation, are two but not two, mysteriously one taste, not two but two, mind and environment are clear. Sixth, the door of phenomena merging and coexisting. It means that many phenomena completely rely on one principle, and one principle carries --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

多事而全遍于一事是故菩萨以即止之观于一事中见一切事而心无散动如一事一切亦尔第七诸法相是门谓由诸法皆不异于真理真理复不异于事是故菩萨以不异止之观见一法即一切法而全不动如一一切亦尔第八即入无碍门谓由以一多相入而非一一多相即而非异此二俱由融通一法界是故菩萨以无念之智顿见于此无障碍之法第九帝网重现门谓于一事中所现一切彼一切内复各现一切如是重重不可穷尽如帝释网于一珠中现一切珠影一切珠影中复现珠影重重无尽是故菩萨以普贤眼顿见如此法界圆融自在无有限量第十主伴圆备门谓菩萨以普贤之智顿见于此普贤法界是故凡举一门为主必摄一切为伴如是无尽无尽不可称说思之可见此略说显华严经中菩萨止观广如别记说。   第二明普贤行法初学菩萨行法亦有十门第一先起信心然有三种一自信己身有如来藏性修行可得成佛二信三宝功德殊胜难量离此更无可归依处三信因果决定业报必然是故舍恶修善不离自心第二归依三宝亦有三种一归依遍法界三宝二归依殷重至极不惜身命三远归依尽未来际誓不断绝第三忏悔宿罪亦有三种一启告十方三世一切诸佛菩萨贤圣二对现尊像及众僧等前三殷重心惭愧心自述无始罪障第四发菩提心立大誓愿亦有三种一发直心正念真如法故二深心乐修一切诸善行故三大 现代汉语译本 多事而完全遍及于一事,因此菩萨以寂止的观照在一事中见到一切事,而心无散乱动摇。如同一事即一切事一样。第七,诸法相是门,意思是由于诸法都不异于真理(Dharmadhatu),真理又不异于事,因此菩萨以不异寂止的观照,见一法即一切法,而完全不动摇。如同一即一切一样。第八,即入无碍门,意思是由于以一多互相进入,而非一一多相即,也非一一多相异,这二者都由于融通一法界(Dharmadhatu)。因此菩萨以无念的智慧,顿然见到这无障碍之法。第九,帝网重现门,意思是在一事中所显现的一切,在那一切之内又各自显现一切,像这样重重叠叠无穷无尽,如同帝释网(Indra's net)在一颗珠子中显现一切珠子的影像,一切珠子的影像中又显现珠子的影像,重重无尽。因此菩萨以普贤(Samantabhadra)之眼,顿然见到如此法界圆融自在,没有阻碍。第十,主伴圆备门,意思是菩萨以普贤的智慧,顿然见到这普贤法界。因此凡是举一门为主,必定摄取一切为伴,像这样无穷无尽不可称说,思考就可以明白。这简略地说明了《华严经》中的菩萨止观,详细的如同别记所说。 第二,阐明普贤行法。初学菩萨行法也有十门。第一,先发起信心,然而有三种:一,自信自身有如来藏性(Tathagatagarbha),修行可以成就佛果;二,相信三宝(Three Jewels)功德殊胜难以衡量,离开三宝再没有可以归依之处;三,相信因果决定,业报必然,因此舍弃恶行修习善行,不离自心。第二,归依三宝也有三种:一,归依遍法界三宝;二,归依殷重至极,不惜身命;三,远归依尽未来际,誓不断绝。第三,忏悔宿罪也有三种:一,启告十方三世一切诸佛菩萨贤圣;二,在现存的尊像以及众僧等前;三,以殷重心、惭愧心,自述无始以来的罪障。第四,发菩提心(Bodhicitta),立下大誓愿也有三种:一,发直心,正念真如法故;二,深心,乐于修习一切诸善行故;三大

English version Because many things are completely pervasive in one thing, Bodhisattvas, through the contemplation of cessation in one thing, see all things without their minds being scattered or agitated. It is like one thing being all things. Seventh, the characteristic of all dharmas is a gate, meaning that because all dharmas are not different from the Dharmadhatu (真理), and the Dharmadhatu is not different from things, Bodhisattvas, through the contemplation of non-difference and cessation, see one dharma as all dharmas without any agitation. It is like one being all. Eighth, the gate of unimpeded entry means that because one and many enter each other, but are not identical in each and every aspect, nor are they different in each and every aspect. Both of these are due to the interpenetration of the one Dharmadhatu. Therefore, Bodhisattvas, with the wisdom of no-thought, suddenly see this unobstructed dharma. Ninth, the gate of Indra's net (帝释网) reappearing means that within one thing, all things appear, and within all those things, everything appears again, endlessly repeating like Indra's net, where in one jewel, the reflections of all jewels appear, and in the reflections of all jewels, the reflections of jewels appear again, endlessly. Therefore, Bodhisattvas, with the eyes of Samantabhadra (普贤), suddenly see the Dharmadhatu as perfectly integrated and free, without any obstruction. Tenth, the gate of complete provision of principal and attendants means that Bodhisattvas, with the wisdom of Samantabhadra, suddenly see this Dharmadhatu of Samantabhadra. Therefore, whenever one gate is taken as the principal, it necessarily includes all others as attendants, endlessly and inexpressibly. It can be understood through contemplation. This briefly explains the Bodhisattva's cessation and contemplation in the Avatamsaka Sutra, which is described in detail in separate records. Second, elucidating the practice of Samantabhadra. The practice of a Bodhisattva in the initial stages also has ten gates. First, generate faith, which is of three kinds: first, believe that one's own body has the Tathagatagarbha (如来藏性), and that through practice, one can attain Buddhahood; second, believe that the merits and virtues of the Three Jewels (三宝) are supremely excellent and immeasurable, and that there is no other place to take refuge apart from them; third, believe that cause and effect are definite, and karmic retribution is inevitable, therefore abandon evil and cultivate good, without departing from one's own mind. Second, taking refuge in the Three Jewels is also of three kinds: first, taking refuge in the Three Jewels that pervade the Dharmadhatu; second, taking refuge with utmost sincerity, not sparing one's life; third, taking refuge far into the future, vowing never to cease. Third, repenting of past sins is also of three kinds: first, announcing to all Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, sages, and saints of the ten directions and three times; second, in front of existing venerable images and the Sangha; third, with sincere and contrite hearts, confessing one's beginningless sins and obstacles. Fourth, generating Bodhicitta (菩提心) and making great vows is also of three kinds: first, generating a straightforward mind, rightly contemplating the Suchness of Dharma; second, a profound mind, delighting in cultivating all good deeds; third, a great --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
