阿惟越致遮經無著品第八
佛復告阿難：「何謂如來歎美菩薩為無著也？是菩薩沒一切行，離於處土；不倚諸佛，度脫眾生；不有所造塵勞之垢及與苦樂，以滅色欲救濟一切，故謂為無著。弗得眾生，不獲欲埃，非貪如，故謂無著。釋去侵欺處無所住，一切法空，以了寂靜，不習眾想。諸想以定，則除眾思。不計有人壞滅所志，而智空法得無所著。佛道無思，具足不怙，故謂無著。演說典籍，破壞眾瑕，歎於往古，等正覺教，當來現在，而不放逸。清淨離穢，唯論寂然，故謂無著。
The Buddha further said to Ānanda, "Why does the Tathāgata praise bodhisattvas as 'without attachment' (i.e. arhats)? These bodhisattvas submerge all actions, detached from dwelling places; not depending on Buddhas, they liberate sentient beings; not creating the defilements of worldly toil nor suffering and pleasure, by extinguishing desire they rescue all—therefore called 'without attachment.' Not attaining sentient beings, not acquiring desire's dust, not craving thus—therefore called 'without attachment.' Removing invasion and deception, dwelling nowhere, all dharmas empty, thus understanding tranquility, not practicing many conceptions. With all conceptions settled, all thoughts are eliminated. Not calculating that there are people destroying aspirations, with wisdom of emptiness obtaining non-attachment. The Buddha's path without thought, perfect without reliance—therefore called 'without attachment.' Expounding scriptures, destroying all flaws, praising the ancient past, the teaching of perfect enlightenment, the future and present, without negligence. Pure and free from defilement, only discussing tranquility—therefore called 'without attachment.'
「菩薩大士開化諸人，立于佛道求聖路者，於一切法而無所慕。具足慈心行佛之仁，永不有處。彼慈如此，故謂無著。化立眾生亦不得人，究竟大哀曉了不處，故謂無著。為眾生故，加恩見道，法無法想。斷除如此，故謂無著。讚揚覺力，計有願數，獲於不住。知拔除眾根，志化眾生，了清淨法使成道義，永不有倚，故謂不著。覩不依處，制不貪身，於諸萬物非有所依求。及與眾會不毀萬物，講有為法，如是無本，故謂無著。
"Great bodhisattvas transform people, establishing in the Buddha's path those seeking the holy road, having no longing for any dharmas. Perfect in compassionate mind, practicing Buddha's benevolence, never having a place. Their compassion being thus—therefore called 'without attachment.' Transforming and establishing sentient beings yet not attaining people, ultimately great compassion understanding non-abiding—therefore called 'without attachment.' For sentient beings' sake, bestowing grace to see the path, dharma without dharma-conception. Cutting off like this—therefore called 'without attachment.' Praising the power of awakening, calculating the number of vows, attaining non-abiding. Knowing how to uproot many roots, aspiring to transform sentient beings, understanding pure dharma to accomplish the meaning of the path, forever without dependence—therefore called 'without attachment.' Seeing non-dependence places, controlling non-greedy body, among all things not having seeking dependence. And with assemblies not destroying myriad things, teaching conditioned dharmas as without foundation—therefore called 'without attachment.'
「遊諸佛土，去無所至，不起本末，覩佛聖尊。覺道無寂，故謂無著。非有依處立如斯土，於無量剎平等諸國。不調戲界清淨不足，住福德之域空無諸剎。不退轉地無有女人，釋去塵勞睡眠之志。得佛聖國除陰蓋土，降魔官屬去諸怨敵。入寂然土感動變化，立於願剎土眾求國。
"Traveling through Buddha lands, going without arriving, not arising fundamentally or ultimately, seeing the Buddha's holy honor. Awakening path without tranquility—therefore called 'without attachment.' Without dependence, establishing such lands, in countless fields of equal countries. Non-frivolous realms not sufficiently pure, dwelling in the realm of merit, empty without various fields. The ground of non-retrogression without women, removing the aspirations of worldly toil and sleep. Attaining the Buddha's holy country, eliminating the land of the five hindrances, subduing Mara's officials and servants, removing all enemies. Entering tranquil lands, inspiring transformations, establishing in the wished-for fields, lands of many seekings."
「菩薩具足之威耀住無所住，覩獲佛意淨印印多所安國，捨離一切瓔珞寶飾眾垢之瑕，究無為地一切最尊。成如是像微妙佛處，諸法皆空，具足道行，故謂無著。
Bodhisattvas perfectly manifest majestic radiance while dwelling in non-dwelling, seeing and attaining Buddha's intention, the pure seal imprinting many peaceful countries, abandoning all necklaces, jeweled ornaments, and flaws of various defilements, ultimately reaching the unconditioned ground, supreme among all. Accomplishing such wondrous Buddha places, all dharmas being empty, perfect in path practices—therefore called 'without attachment.'
「蠲除眾樂，諸根不可，於一切法不瞋、不怒。寂平等乘則為佛慧，身、口、心同習無上寂。慕求聖道不著軌迹，不想思人。悲念眾生無心不心，勸化無數億百千人，使立大道開示萌類、使念佛法等諸人物，導利無數眾庶黎民，令發聖意而無等倫。一切諸法均空特異，本空慧同立之不想。能等如是知無所倚，已了若此應其眾生而為說法，不慕諸利，無倚經籍，具足離根。講法如是，永不有言，多所化濟，不見度人，救於眾生。
"Eliminating all pleasures, all faculties not permissible, toward all dharmas neither angry nor enraged. The tranquil equal vehicle is Buddha's wisdom, body, speech and mind together practicing unsurpassed tranquility. Longing for the holy path without attachment to tracks, not conceiving or thinking of people. Compassionately mindful of sentient beings with no-mind and not-mind, encouraging countless billions and hundreds of thousands of people, establishing them in the great path, revealing to sprouting kinds, causing them to remember Buddha-dharma equal to all beings, guiding and benefiting countless common people, causing them to develop holy intention without equal. All dharmas equally empty yet distinct, fundamentally empty wisdom equally established without conception. Able to be equal like this, knowing without dependence, having understood thus, responding to sentient beings by teaching dharma for them, not longing for various benefits, without depending on scriptures, perfect in abandoning roots. Teaching dharma like this, forever without words, transforming and saving many, not seeing crossing over people, rescuing sentient beings.
「著斷諸事，免諸貪身，超越貢高。覩一切法不起不滅，開化群黎萬物之想。令不壞色、痛、痒、思想、生死之識，凡夫不動則應解脫。而立佛法著道迹者，化之不倚則成除勗。導利所依，令無佛想，則為勉濟勸發菩薩。
"Attached to cutting off various matters, freed from all greedy bodies, transcending arrogance. Seeing all dharmas neither arising nor ceasing, transforming the multitudes' conceptions of myriad things. Causing no destruction to form, feeling, perception, mental formations, or consciousness of birth and death, ordinary people not moving then should be liberated. And establishing Buddha-dharma for those attached to the path's traces, transforming them without dependence thus accomplishing removal of encouragement. Guiding and benefiting what is depended upon, causing no Buddha-conception, thus striving to rescue and encourage bodhisattvas."
「弘不念心，救道因緣，諸憒亂意，離癡狂詐。具足三昧，成就定意，不懷眾想，拔於邪智，令覩正慧，化發聲聞。慕反迹者，制倚父母、妻子、舍宅、兄弟、姊妹，令除恩愛；度著國土、財色、萬物，貪求之想塵勞顛倒。開化諸著萬物之想，慕離於家而為寂志；懈廢羸劣等脫諸相，成入佛土欲垢之法。
"Expanding the non-thinking mind, saving the causal conditions of the path, various confused minds, departing from foolishness, madness and deceit. Perfect in samadhi, accomplishing concentration, not harboring various conceptions, uprooting wrong wisdom, causing them to see right wisdom, transforming and developing śrāvakas. Those longing to return to the path, controlling dependence on parents, wives and children, houses, brothers, and sisters, causing them to eliminate affectionate love; transcending attachment to countries, wealth, forms, and myriad things, thoughts of greedy seeking, worldly toil and delusion. Transforming various attachments to conceptions of myriad things, longing to leave home to become tranquil-minded; the lazy, abandoned, and weak equally liberated from all marks, accomplishing entry into Buddha lands through the dharma of desire's defilements.
「興發道意，心不有二，未甞生念，是無為法。此生死法，因緣無緣，道意俗心，犯戒護禁。開化此輩，興二相者，使其無念，度諸根本，故曰無著。眾祐賢聖，懈怠精進；男子女人，頑愚聰達。明聖闇結，導利此等，令無二心，救進眾生，故曰無著。
"Arousing path-mind, the heart not having duality, never giving rise to thoughts, this is the unconditioned dharma. This dharma of birth and death, conditions without conditions, path-mind and worldly heart, violating precepts and guarding prohibitions. Transforming these types, those who arouse two marks, causing them to have no thought, transcending all root foundations—therefore called 'without attachment.' The Benefactor of Many, worthies and sages, the lazy and the diligent; men and women, the stubborn-foolish and the intelligent. Bright sages and those in dark bondage, guiding and benefiting these, causing them to have no dual mind, rescuing and advancing sentient beings—therefore called 'without attachment.'
「是諸菩薩成不退意，或有受別，又復不著。斯諸菩薩近道、遠道，分別此義，不生二想。得逮聖路，至不起餘而般泥洹，便離發意而不有倚。緣此諸法以開化人，如是自然解一切法。演無根本，故曰無著。」
"These bodhisattvas accomplishing non-regressing intention, some receiving distinction, yet again not attached. These bodhisattvas near the path, far from the path, distinguishing this meaning, not giving rise to dual conceptions. Attaining the holy path, reaching non-arising remainder and entering nirvana, then departing from arousing intention without having dependence. Due to these dharmas transforming people, thus naturally understanding all dharmas. Expounding without foundation—therefore called 'without attachment.'"
