信生佛家(清凉云。有作之修。多劫终成败坏。无心体极。一念顿契佛家)   如来出现品云。佛子。此法门如来不为余众生说。惟为趣向大乘菩萨说。惟为乘不思议乘菩萨说。此法门不入一切余众生手。惟除诸菩萨摩诃萨。佛子。譬如转轮圣王所有七宝。因此宝故。显示轮王。此宝不入余众生手。惟除第一夫人所生太子。具足成就圣王相者。若转轮王。无此太子。具众德者。王命终后。此诸宝等。于七日中。悉皆散灭。佛子。此经珍宝。亦复如是。不入一切余众生手。惟除如来法王真子。生如来家。种如来相诸善根者。佛子。若无此等佛之真子。如是法门不久散灭。何以故。一切二乘不闻此经。何况受持读诵书写。分别解说。惟诸菩萨乃能如是。是故菩萨摩诃萨。闻此法门。应大欢喜。以尊重心。恭敬顶受。何以故。菩萨摩诃萨。信乐此经。疾得阿耨多罗三藐三菩提故。佛子。设有菩萨于无量百千亿那由他劫。行六波罗蜜。修习种种菩提分法。若未闻此如来不思议大威德法门。或时闻已。不信不解。不顺不入。不得名为真实菩萨。以不能生如来家故。若得闻此如来无量不可思议无障无碍智慧法门。闻已信解。随顺悟入。当知此人。生如来家。随顺一切如来境界。具足一切诸菩萨 现代汉语译本:如果能够这样做,才是真正报答佛的恩情。 信生佛家(清凉解释说:‘有作为的修行,经过多劫最终也会败坏;无心体悟到极点,一念之间就能顿悟佛家。’) 《如来出现品》中说:‘佛子,这个法门如来不为其他的众生说,只为趣向大乘的菩萨说,只为修习不思议乘的菩萨说。这个法门不会落入其他众生的手中,唯有诸位菩萨摩诃萨才能接受。佛子,譬如转轮圣王所有的七宝,因为这些宝物的缘故,才显示出他是转轮王。这些宝物不会落入其他众生的手中,唯有第一夫人所生的太子,具足成就圣王之相的人才能继承。如果转轮王没有这样的太子,没有具足各种德行的人,那么在转轮王命终之后,这些宝物等,在七日之内,都会全部散灭。佛子,这部经的珍宝,也是如此。不会落入其他众生的手中,唯有如来法王的真子,生在如来之家,种下如来之相的各种善根的人才能接受。佛子,如果没有这些佛的真子,这样的法门不久就会散灭。为什么呢?因为一切二乘人都不会听闻这部经,更何况是受持、读诵、书写、分别解说呢?只有诸位菩萨才能这样做。所以菩萨摩诃萨,听闻这个法门,应该大欢喜,以尊重的心,恭敬地接受。为什么呢?因为菩萨摩诃萨,信乐这部经,很快就能得到阿耨多罗三藐三菩提(无上正等正觉)的缘故。佛子,假设有菩萨在无量百千亿那由他劫(极长的时间单位)中,修行六波罗蜜(布施、持戒、忍辱、精进、禅定、智慧),修习种种菩提分法(帮助达到觉悟的方法),如果未曾听闻这部如来不思议大威德法门,或者有时听闻了,却不相信、不理解、不顺从、不进入,就不能被称为真实的菩萨,因为不能生在如来之家的缘故。如果能够听闻这部如来无量不可思议无障无碍智慧法门,听闻之后相信、理解、随顺、悟入,应当知道这个人,生在如来之家,随顺一切如来的境界,具足一切诸菩萨。’

English version: If one can do so, it is truly repaying the Buddha's kindness. Believing and being born into the Buddha's family (Qingliang explains: 'Action-based cultivation, after many kalpas, will eventually lead to decay; realizing the ultimate with a selfless mind, in a single thought, one can instantly enter the Buddha's family.') The 'Appearance of the Tathagata' chapter says: 'Buddha-son, this Dharma-gate the Tathagata does not speak for other sentient beings, but only for Bodhisattvas who are heading towards the Mahayana, only for Bodhisattvas who are cultivating the inconceivable vehicle. This Dharma-gate does not fall into the hands of other sentient beings, only the Bodhisattvas-Mahasattvas can receive it. Buddha-son, just like the seven treasures possessed by a Chakravartin King (Wheel-Turning Sage King), because of these treasures, he is shown to be a Chakravartin King. These treasures do not fall into the hands of other sentient beings, only the prince born of the first queen, who is fully accomplished with the characteristics of a sage king, can inherit them. If the Chakravartin King does not have such a prince, who is endowed with various virtues, then after the Chakravartin King's death, these treasures, etc., will all scatter and disappear within seven days. Buddha-son, the precious treasure of this Sutra is also like this. It does not fall into the hands of other sentient beings, only the true son of the Tathagata Dharma King, who is born into the Tathagata's family, and plants the various good roots of the Tathagata's characteristics, can receive it. Buddha-son, if there are no such true sons of the Buddha, this Dharma-gate will soon scatter and disappear. Why? Because all those of the Two Vehicles (Shravakas and Pratyekabuddhas) will not hear this Sutra, let alone receive, uphold, read, recite, write, explain, and expound it? Only the Bodhisattvas can do so. Therefore, Bodhisattvas-Mahasattvas, upon hearing this Dharma-gate, should rejoice greatly, and accept it with respect and reverence. Why? Because Bodhisattvas-Mahasattvas, who believe in and delight in this Sutra, will quickly attain Anuttara-Samyak-Sambodhi (Unsurpassed Perfect Enlightenment). Buddha-son, suppose there is a Bodhisattva who, in immeasurable hundreds of thousands of millions of nayutas (extremely long units of time) of kalpas, practices the Six Paramitas (Perfections: Generosity, Morality, Patience, Diligence, Concentration, Wisdom), and cultivates various Bodhipakshika-dharmas (factors of enlightenment), if he has not heard this inconceivable great majestic virtue Dharma-gate of the Tathagata, or sometimes has heard it, but does not believe, does not understand, does not follow, does not enter, he cannot be called a true Bodhisattva, because he cannot be born into the Tathagata's family. If one can hear this immeasurable, inconceivable, unobstructed, unimpeded wisdom Dharma-gate of the Tathagata, and after hearing it, believes, understands, follows, and enters into it, one should know that this person is born into the Tathagata's family, follows all the realms of the Tathagata, and is endowed with all the Bodhisattvas.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

法。佛子。菩萨摩诃萨。成就如是功德。少作功力。得无师自然智。颂曰。  如是微密甚深法  百千万劫难可闻  精进智慧调伏者  乃得闻此秘奥义  若闻此法生欣庆  彼曾供养无量佛  为佛加持所摄受  人天赞叹常供养  此为超世第一财  此能救度诸群品  此能出生清净道  汝等当持莫放逸   华严感应缘起传(终) 现代汉语译本: 佛陀的弟子啊,菩萨摩诃萨(bodhisattva-mahāsattva,伟大的菩萨)成就了这样的功德,只需付出少许的努力,就能获得无需老师指导的自然智慧。颂词说: 如此微妙隐秘而又深奥的佛法,历经百千万劫都难以听闻。 只有那些精进、具有智慧且能调伏自身的人,才能听闻这秘密而深奥的真义。 如果有人听闻此法而心生欢喜庆幸,那是因为他曾经供养过无量诸佛。 此人受到诸佛的加持和摄受,受到人天赞叹,并常受供养。 此法是超越世间的第一财富,此法能够救度一切众生。 此法能够产生清净的解脱之道,你们应当受持此法,切莫放逸。 《华严感应缘起传》完

English version: O, Buddha's disciples, a Bodhisattva-Mahāsattva (bodhisattva-mahāsattva, great bodhisattva) who has accomplished such merits, with little effort, can obtain natural wisdom without a teacher. The verse says: Such subtle, secret, and profound Dharma is difficult to hear even in hundreds of thousands of kalpas (kalpas, eons). Only those who are diligent, wise, and able to subdue themselves can hear this secret and profound meaning. If someone hears this Dharma and rejoices, it is because they have offered to immeasurable Buddhas. This person is blessed and embraced by the Buddhas, praised by humans and devas (devas, gods), and is constantly offered to. This Dharma is the supreme wealth that transcends the world; this Dharma can save all beings. This Dharma can generate the pure path of liberation; you should uphold this Dharma and not be negligent. The End of 'A Record of the Origins of Miraculous Responses in the Avatamsaka Sutra' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
