無盡慧菩薩會 第四十五
Inexhaustible Wisdom Bodhisattva [#45]
如是我聞。一時佛在王舍城耆闍崛山。與大比丘眾千二百五十人俱。爾時復有一萬菩薩摩訶薩俱。所謂慧幢菩薩。法幢菩薩。月幢菩薩。日幢菩薩。無邊幢菩薩。復有十六在家菩薩。跋陀婆羅而為上首。復有六十無比喻心菩薩摩訶薩。文殊師利而為上首。復有賢劫中一切菩薩摩訶薩。彌勒菩薩而為上首。復有六萬菩薩摩訶薩。無盡慧菩薩而為上首.
Thus have I heard: One time the Buddha was is in Rājagṛha, Gṛdhrakūṭa [Vultures Peak] with great bhikkus, twelve hundred fifty people in all. At that time there were also ten thousand bodhisattva mahasattvas. They were called: Wisdom Banner Bodhisattva, Dharma Banner Bodhisattva, Moon Banner Bodhisattva, Sun Banner Bodhisattva, Boundless Banner Bodhisattva, along with sixteen lay bodhisattvas, with Bhadrapāla foremost [among them]. Also, there were sixty bodhisattva mahasattvas of incomparable mind, with Manjusri foremost [among them]. Also, there were all [16 of] the bodhisattva mahasattvas of the [present] Bhadrakalpa [‘Good Time’], with Maitreya Bodhisattva foremost [among them]. Also, there were sixty thousand bodhisattva mahasattvas, with Aksayamati (Inexhaustible Wisdom) Bodhisattva foremost [among them].
爾時無盡慧菩薩。即從坐起。偏袒右肩。右膝著地。合掌向佛。頭面禮敬。以眾寶華奉散於佛。而白佛言。世尊。所言菩提心者。以何義故說菩提心。菩薩復以幾法成就菩提心。云何是菩提心。菩提中心不可得。心中菩提亦不可得。離菩提心不可得。離心菩提亦不可得。菩提者無色無相。不可言說。心亦無色無相不可顯示。眾生亦爾。皆不可得。世尊諸法如是。當依何義而得修行。
At that time, Aksayamati (Inexhaustible Wisdom) Bodhisattva arose from his seat, bared his right shoulder, placed his right knee on the ground, and faced the Buddha with his palms joined, bowing his head and praised him by scattering jeweled flowers around the Buddha as offerings. Then he addressed the Buddha saying, “World-Honored One, when the bodhicitta (mind of enlightenment) is spoken of, what is meant by the mind of enlightenment? Also, how many dharmas does it take for a bodhisattva to achieve the mind of enlightenment? What is the mind of enlightenment? Within bodhi (enlightenment) there is no mind attainable. Within the mind, enlightenment is also unattainable. Apart from enlightenment, the mind is unattainable. Apart from the mind, enlightenment is unattainable. That which is enlightenment is formless and characteristicless, unable to be spoken of [‘trackless’]. The mind is also formless, characteristicless, unable to be indicated. So, too, are sentient beings, completely unattainable. World-Honored One, all Dharmas being like this, what meaning should [one] rely on in order to observe [and/the] practice [caryā]?
佛言善男子。汝今諦聽我說。菩提者無名本字言說。何以故。於菩提中。名字言說不可得故。心及眾生亦復如是。若如是知名菩提心。菩提者非過去未來現在心及眾生。亦非過去未來現在。若知此義是名菩薩。然於其中亦不可得。於一切法都無所得。是名得菩提心。如阿羅漢得阿羅漢果。而於此中都無所得。唯除隨俗說言得果。於一切法皆無所得。得菩提心亦復如是。為欲引攝初業菩薩故說菩提心。然於其中無心無心名。無菩提無菩提名。無眾生無眾生名。無聲聞無聲聞名。無獨覺無獨覺名。無菩薩無菩薩名。無如來無如來名。無有為無有為名。無無為無無為名。無現得無當得。
The Buddha said “Virtuous son, listen and I will tell you. That which is enlightenment [bodhi] is originally without name or description [‘trackless’]. How so? Because within enlightenment names and descriptions cannot be attained. The mind and sentient beings are also like this. If one knows like this, it is called the mind of enlightenment. That which is enlightenment has no past, future, or present mind, and sentient beings are also without past, future or present. If one knows the meaning of this, that is called a bodhisattva. Within that, there is also nothing attainable and for every part of the dharma there is also nothing attainable. This is called attaining the mind of enlightenment. Like an arhat who has attained the fruit of an arhat, within this there is nothing to attain. Only conventionally is it said there is attainment of fruit. With all dharmas, there is nothing to attain. Attaining the mind of enlightenment is also like this. It is for welcoming novice bodhisattvas that we speak of the mind of enlightenment. Within this there is no mind or the term ‘mind’. There is no enlightenment or the term ‘enlightenment’. There is no sentient being or the term ‘sentient being’. There is no voice-hearer or the term ‘voice-hearer’. There is no solitary enlightened one or the term ‘solitary enlightened one’. There is no bodhisattva or the terms ‘bodhisattva.’ There is no Thus Come One or the term ‘Thus Come One’. There is no conditioned or the term ‘conditioned’. There is no unconditioned or the term ‘unconditioned’. There is no present attainment or future attainment.”
善男子。我今依言說如是敷演.
“Virtuous son, I will now rely on words like this to demonstrate.”
若有諸眾生。善根廣大超諸眾生
If of all sentient beings, [there is someone whose] virtuous roots are broad and great, surpassing all sentient beings:
如須彌山出過一切。是初發心為施波羅蜜因。
Like Mt. Sumeru, rising above all others - this is the first initiation of enlightenment, by way of the paramita of giving.
猶如大地善能安住一切事業。是第二發心為戒波羅蜜因。
Like the great earth, able to stabilize all things - this is the second initiation of enlightenment, by the paramita of moral discipline.
志意勇猛安受煩惱。如師子王威伏眾獸身無怖畏。是第三發心為忍波羅蜜因
Resolved and intent, boldly progressing and peacefully receiving afflictions, like the awesomeness of a lion-king, masters all beasts, body without fear - this is the third initiation of enlightenment, by way of the paramita of patience.
勢力雄迅能伏煩惱。如那羅延摧伏異眾。是第四發心為精進波羅蜜因。
Powerful and swift, able to subdue afflictions, like Nārāyaṇa defeats opponents - this is the fourth initiation of enlightenment, by way of the paramita of determination.
功德善根種種開發。如波利質多。俱鞞陀羅樹其華開敷。是第五發心為禪波羅蜜因。
Meritoriously virtuous roots of all types bursting forth, like the flowers of the [heavenly] pārijāta and kovidāra trees in bloom - this is the fifth initiation of enlightenment, by way of the paramita of dhyana.
除去癡暗。猶如日輪光明無邊。是第六發心為般若波羅蜜因。
Cleared of ignorance and darkness, like the boundless radiance of the sun - this is the sixth initiation of enlightenment, by way of the paramita of prajñā.
功德意樂一切莊嚴皆得圓滿。如大商主豐足財物。能以巧便拔眾險難。是第七發心為方便波羅蜜因。
Meritoriously satisfied and joyful [manobhirāma], each and every adornment, all fully attained, like a great merchant uses their abundance skillfully to uplift those in danger and hardship – this is the seventh initiation of enlightenment, by way of the paramita of expedient means.
障礙除滅意樂具足如淨滿月。是第八發心為力波羅蜜因。
Obstructions removed, the mind fully satisfied and joyful like a clear, full moon – this is the eighth initiation of enlightenment, by the paramita of power.
佛土眾生皆悉嚴淨。善法備足所作成辦。譬如貧人得無盡藏所願圓滿。是第九發心為願波羅蜜因。
Buddha lands and sentient beings, all fully adorned in purity, virtuous dharmas all having been achieved, like a poor person who attains an inexhaustible treasury can fulfill all wishes – this is the ninth initiation of enlightenment, by the paramita of will/vow [pranidhana].
福智無邊猶如虛空。於法自在如轉輪王已受灌頂。是第十發心為智波羅蜜因.
Fortunate and wise, boundless like empty space, sovereign of the Dharma, like a wheel-turning sage king, having been anointed – this is the tenth initiation of enlightenment, by the paramita of knowledge.
善男子。若此十種發心修習成就名為菩薩。名為最勝眾生。無障礙眾生非下劣眾生。然以實義不可得故。故於其中無眾生無心無菩提.
Virtuous son, one who succeeds in observing these ten kinds of initiations of enlightenment is called a bodhisattva, is called a supreme being, a being without obstruction/hindrance, not an inferior being. Yet, since the meaning of Reality is unattainable, there is no sentient being, mind, or enlightenment.
