Candraprabha Samādhi Sūtra
1. Introduction

如是我聞：

Thus have I heard:

一時婆伽婆住王舍城耆闍崛山，與大比丘眾百千人俱；菩薩八十那由他，皆一生補處，阿氏多菩薩摩訶薩而為上首；四天王、釋天王、娑婆世界主大梵天王，及餘增上福德諸天、增上威勢阿修羅王、龍王、夜叉、乾闥婆、緊陀羅、摩睺羅伽、人、非人等；前後圍遶，瞻仰如來。

At one time the Bhagavān was dwelling on the Gṛdhrakūṭa Mountain in the city of Rājagṛha, together with a great assembly of a hundred thousand bhikṣus and eighty nayutas of bodhisattvas, all of whom were bound to attain buddhahood in one lifetime, headed by the bodhisattva mahāsattva Ajita. The four heavenly kings, Śakra, lord of the Sahā world, and the great Brahmā, as well as other devas of superior merit and majesty, asura kings, dragon kings, yakṣas, gandharvas, kiṃnaras, mahoragas, humans, and nonhumans, surrounded the Tathāgata in front and behind, revering him.

時此眾中有菩薩名月光童子——已於過去供養諸佛，殖眾善根，自識宿命，信樂大乘、安住大乘、大悲相應——從坐而起，偏袒右肩，右膝著地而白佛言：

Then in this assembly there was a bodhisattva youth named Candraprabha, who had made offerings to buddhas in the past, planted wholesome roots, and had his own memory of past lives. He believed in the Mahāyāna, dwelt in the Mahāyāna, and was endowed with great compassion. He rose from his seat, bared his right shoulder, and knelt on his right knee. He addressed the Buddha:

「世尊！我今於佛欲有所問，惟願聽許，除我疑結。」

"O Bhagavān! I now have a few questions for the Buddha. I wish for you to listen and remove my doubts."

佛言：

The Buddha said:

「童子！隨汝所樂，於彼彼問當為汝說，令得歡喜。我一切智、一切知見，於一切法有力、無畏而得自在，與無障礙解脫知見相應。童子！如來無所不知、無所不見、無所不證、無不選擇，覺知無量無邊世界。童子！諸佛、世尊於彼彼問悉能隨答，皆令心喜。」

"O Youth! I will answer your questions and gladden you. I have omniscience and all-knowledge. I have attained mastery of all Dharma teachings, and I have attained the mastery of fearlessness. I am endowed with the unhindered knowledge and insight of liberation. O Youth! There is nothing that a tathāgata does not know. There is nothing that he does not see. There is nothing that he does not experience. There is nothing that he does not discern. He is aware of infinite unlimited worlds. O Youth! The buddhas, the bhagavāns, are able to answer all questions and gladden everyone."

爾時，童子以偈問曰：

At that time, the youth asked in the form of a gāthā:

「諸佛行於何等行，  

能為世親作光明？

能得不可思議智？  

惟願救護解說之。

"What practices have the Buddhas carried out,
Whereby they have become illuminators for the world,
And have attained inconceivable knowledge?
I pray that you will protect and explain this. 

何行得斯說法上，  

人中牛王天敬奉，

不可稱量最上智？  

惟願為我善分別。

What practices have they carried out, whereby they have attained this supreme teaching,
Being honored by humans and gods alike,
And having attained immeasurable supreme knowledge?
I pray that you will explain this to me. 

我以深信故諮問，  

真實無有諂曲心，

餘更無能證知我，  

唯是人尊所照見。

I ask this out of deep faith,
With truth and without deceit.
No one else can know my [mind];
Only you, honorable one, can see. 

我有廣大勝樂心，  

釋種師子知我行，

我心不為語言故，  

唯願為我說助道。

I have a vast, excellent, joyful mind.
The Lion of the Śākya clan knows my practices,
And my mind is not for the sake of words.
I pray that you teach me the auxiliaries to the Path. 

何法能將諸佛來，  

而得增長無邊智，

於一切法到彼者？  

唯願為我善宣說。

What Dharma can bring the Buddhas here,
Whereby I may increase boundless knowledge
And reach the other shore of all Dharma teachings?
I pray that you explain this to me.

願說長養我行法，  

令得修成明利智，

深心持戒不毀犯，  

遠離一切諸怖畏。

I pray that you tell me the way to nurture my Dharma practice,
Whereby I may cultivate and perfect clear, sharp wisdom,
Deeply keeping the precepts without transgression,
And getting rid of all fears. 

云何於戒而不棄？  

云何於慧而不減？

云何安住阿蘭若？  

云何而得增智慧？

How can I not abandon the precepts?
How can I not diminish in wisdom?
How can I abide peacefully in the araṇya?
How can I increase in wisdom?

云何能入勝妙法，  

樂護禁戒無悔恨？

云何於戒而不缺？  

云何能知有為性？

How can I enter the supremely wondrous Dharma,
Delighting in guarding the precepts without regret?
How can I not violate the precepts?
How can I know the nature of conditioned things?

云何得斯三業淨，  

無染穢心趣佛道？

云何能得身業淨？  

云何能除口、意惡？

How can I attain purity in the three actions,
Without defiled thoughts proceeding toward the Buddha's Path?
How can I attain purity in physical actions?
How can I remove evils of speech and mind?

云何得離雜染心？  

唯願世尊隨問說。」

How can I be free from defiled thoughts?
I but beseech the World-Honored One to answer my questions.

爾時，佛告月光童子：

Then the Buddha told the youth, Candraprabha:

「菩薩摩訶薩若與一法相應，速得阿耨多羅三藐三菩提，如是諸法悉皆剋獲。云何一法？若菩薩摩訶薩於眾生所起平等心、救護心、無礙心、無毒心，是為一法相應，速成阿耨多羅三藐三菩提，能獲如是功德之利。」

"If bodhisattva mahāsattvas practice one Dharma, they will quickly attain anuttara-samyak-saṃbodhi. What is this one Dharma? If bodhisattva mahāsattvas arouse equanimous, protective, unobstructed, and nonviolent minds toward sentient beings, this is the one Dharma that will enable them to attain anuttara-samyak-saṃbodhi quickly and acquire such benefits."

爾時，世尊而說偈言：

Then the Bhagavān recited this gāthā:

「若有受持是一法，  

能順菩薩正修行，

因此一法功德故，  

速得成於無上道。

"If any accept and hold one Dharma,
They will be able to follow the right practice of bodhisattvas.
Because of this one meritorious Dharma,
They will quickly attain the unsurpassed Path. 

於一切處心無礙，  

勇猛菩薩所能行，

初不起於憎、愛想，  

如是則獲妙功德。

Their minds will be unhindered in all places.
In whatever the valiant bodhisattvas can do
They do not give rise to thoughts of desire or hate.
In this way they will attain wondrous merits. 

若能如是修等心，  

則得證於平等果；

如是法行俱平等，  

則得足下安平相。

If they can thus cultivate equanimity,
They will soon realize the fruit of equanimity.
Thus their practice of the Dharma is endowed with equanimity,
And they will attain the mark of equanimity of the soles of feet. 

修於平等離瞋心，  

能除一切煩惱覆，

以是因緣足下平，  

故獲足下蓮花色。

Cultivating equanimity and leaving behind anger,
They can remove all afflictive obstructions.
Because of this the soles of their feet are even,
And beneath their feat spring the form of lotus blossoms. 

彼能獨顯於十方，  

福德光明遍佛土，

既得登於寂滅地，  

調伏無量諸眾生。

They will be able to manifest in the ten directions,
Their meritorious light pervading all buddha-lands.
Having attained the stage of tranquility,
They will train innumerable sentient beings.

「童子！菩薩摩訶薩於一切眾生起平等心、救護心、無礙心、無毒心，為世間眼，證得三昧，名為諸法體性平等無戲論三昧。從彼三昧成就十法。何者為十？一、身戒，二、口戒，三、意戒，四、業清淨，五、渡諸因緣，六、悟解諸陰，七、得界平等，八、除諸入相，九、斷滅諸愛，十、證於無生。

說是法門時，會中有八十那由他人天得無生法忍、九十二那由他人天得隨音聲忍、七十六那由他人天得於順忍、六萬人天遠塵離垢得法眼淨、一千比丘盡諸有漏心得解脫、二百五十比丘尼盡諸有漏心得解脫、五百優婆塞得阿那含果、八百優婆夷得斯陀含果。

When this Dharma door was spoken, in the assembly, eighty nayutas of devas and humans attained patience at the non-arising of dharmas, ninety-two nayutas of devas and humans attained patience in accord with what has been heard, seventy-six nayutas of devas and humans attained patience of conformity, sixty thousand devas and humans attained the pure Dharma eye, one thousand bhikṣus attained liberation of mind by exhausting all effluents, two hundred and fifty bhikṣuṇīs attained liberation of mind by exhausting all effluents, five hundred upāsakas attained the fruit of non-returning, and eight hundred upāsikās attained the fruit of once-returning. 

是時三千大千世界六種震動——所謂：動、遍動、等遍動，踊、遍踊、等遍踊，起、遍起、等遍起，吼、遍吼、等遍吼，震、遍震、等遍震，覺、遍覺、等遍覺——東踊西沒、西踊東沒、南踊北沒、北踊南沒、中踊邊沒、邊踊中沒。

Then the three thousand great thousand world-system quaked in six ways: it moved, moved everywhere, and moved equally everywhere; it surged, surged everywhere, and surged equally everywhere; it rose, rose everywhere, and rose equally everywhere; it roared, roared everywhere, and roared equally everywhere; it quaked, quaked everywhere, and quaked equally everywhere; it shuddered, shuddered everywhere, and shuddered equally everywhere; it surged in the east and sank in the west; it surged in the west and sank in the east; it surged in the south and sank in the north; it surged in the north and sank in the south; it surged in the middle and sank at the edges; it surged at the edges and sank in the middle.

以法力故，忽然而起未曾有光，悉能暉照幽冥邊遠，乃至阿鼻地獄無不大明。是時世界鐵圍之間，黑闇眾生更相瞻覩，咸各驚言：

Because of the power of the Dharma, there suddenly arose an unprecedented light that could illuminate all the distant regions of darkness, including the Avīci hell. At that time the sentient beings in the darkness within the iron fence of the world looked at each other and were all amazed, saying:

「何忽在此有斯人輩？」

“How is it that suddenly there are these people here?"
