爾時,正念天子白法慧菩薩言:「佛子!一切世界諸菩薩眾,依如來教,染衣出家。云何而得梵行清淨,從菩薩位逮於無上菩提之道?」
At that time, the Godling Right Mindfulness addressed Dharma Wisdom Bodhisattva saying, “Buddhaputra! All bodhisattvas throughout all worlds depend upon the teachings of the Tathāgatas, dye their clothes and leave home. How can they attain purity of Brahma Practice (brahmacarya) and from the station of a bodhisattva reach the Path of unsurpassable bodhi?”
法慧菩薩言:
Dharma Wisdom Bodhisattva said:
「佛子!菩薩摩訶薩修梵行時,應以十法而為所緣,作意觀察。所謂:身、身業、語、語業、意、意業、佛、法、僧、戒。應如是觀:為身是梵行耶?乃至戒是梵行耶?若身是梵行者,當知梵行則為非善、則為非法、則為渾濁、則為臭惡、則為不淨、則為可厭、則為違逆、則為雜染、則為死屍、則為蟲聚。若身業是梵行者,梵行則是行住坐臥、左右顧視、屈伸俯仰。若語是梵行者,梵行則是音聲風息、唇舌喉吻、吐納抑縱、高低清濁。若語業是梵行者,梵行則是起居問訊、略說、廣說、諭說、直說、讚說、毀說、安立說、隨俗說、顯了說。若意是梵行者,梵行則應是覺、是觀、是分別、是種種分別、是憶念、是種種憶念、是思惟、是種種思惟、是幻術、是眠夢。若意業是梵行者,當知梵行則是思想、寒熱、飢渴、苦樂、憂喜。若佛是梵行者,為色是佛耶?受是佛耶?想是佛耶?行是佛耶?識是佛耶?為相是佛耶?好是佛耶?神通是佛耶?業行是佛耶?果報是佛耶?若法是梵行者,為寂滅是法耶?涅槃是法耶?不生是法耶?不起是法耶?不可說是法耶?無分別是法耶?無所行是法耶?不合集是法耶?若僧是梵行者,為預流向是僧耶?預流果是僧耶?一來向是僧耶?一來果是僧耶?不還向是僧耶?不還果是僧耶?阿羅漢向是僧耶?阿羅漢果是僧耶?三明是僧耶?六通是僧耶?若戒是梵行者,為壇場是戒耶?問清淨是戒耶?教威儀是戒耶?三說羯磨是戒耶?和尚是戒耶?阿闍梨是戒耶?鬀髮是戒耶?著袈裟衣是戒耶?乞食是戒耶?正命是戒耶?如是觀已,於身無所取,於修無所著,於法無所住;過去已滅,未來未至,現在空寂;無作業者,無受報者;此世不移動,彼世不改變。此中何法名為梵行?梵行從何處來?誰之所有?體為是誰?由誰而作?為是有,為是無?為是色,為非色?為是受,為非受?為是想,為非想?為是行,為非行?為是識,為非識?如是觀察,梵行法不可得故,三世法皆空寂故,意無取著故,心無障礙故,所行無二故,方便自在故,受無相法故,觀無相法故,知佛法平等故,具一切佛法故,如是名為清淨梵行。
“Buddhaputra! When bodhisattva mahasattvas cultivate Brahma Practice they should take ten things (dharmas) as objects of contemplation: The body, bodily karma, speech, speech karma, thought, thought karma, the Buddha, the Dharma, the Sangha, and Precepts. They should contemplate like this: Is the body Brahma Practice? Up to, Are the Precepts Brahma Practice? If the body was Brahma Practice then Brahma Practice would not be good, it would not be Dharma, it would be turbid, it would be foul, it would be impure, it would be disgusting, it would be intractable, it would be afflicted, it would be a corpse, it would be a mass of microbes.
[0088c21] 「復應修習十種法。何者為十?所謂:處非處智、過現未來業報智、諸禪解脫三昧智、諸根勝劣智、種種解智、種種界智、一切至處道智、天眼無礙智、宿命無礙智、永斷習氣智。於如來十力,一一觀察;一一力中,有無量義,悉應諮問。聞已,應起大慈悲心,觀察眾生而不捨離;思惟諸法,無有休息;行無上業,不求果報;了知境界如幻如夢,如影如響,亦如變化。若諸菩薩能與如是觀行相應,於諸法中不生二解,一切佛法疾得現前,初發心時即得阿耨多羅三藐三菩提,知一切法即心自性,成就慧身,不由他悟。」
