「是故，童子！若菩薩作是念：
"Therefore, O youth, if a bodhisattva should have this thought:
『我今云何安樂而得阿耨多羅三藐三菩提耶？』
'How can I now rest at ease and attain anuttarā samyaksaṃbodhi?'
彼諸菩薩應當安住淨戒之聚，於一切菩薩所起於師想。」
That bodhisattva should abide by the pure aggregate of morality and regard all bodhisattvas as teachers."
爾時，世尊而說偈言：
At that time, the Bhagavān uttered a gāthā, saying:
「若有菩薩住戒聚，
以利益心行菩提，
彼人速往可樂剎，
能獲上忍為法王。
“If there is a bodhisattva abiding in the aggregate of morality,
Acting for the benefit of others to practise for bodhi,
That person swiftly journeys to a delightful realm,
And can attain the highest patience, becoming a Dharma King.
是以心和安不動，
恒常造作可愛業，
然後得見多佛日，
速得菩提離疑網。
Therefore, with the mind in harmony, calm and unmoving,
Always doing pleasant deeds,
Afterwards, one will behold many buddhas, shining like suns,
Swiftly attaining bodhi, free from the net of doubts.
聞我如是最勝教，
見諸比丘持淨戒，
無諂曲心而奉事，
然後不久得是定。
Hearing this most excellent teaching of mine,
Seeing bhikṣus who uphold pure morality,
Without a deceitful or crooked mind, one serves them,
Then, one will soon attain this samādhi.
若以恒沙諸伏藏，
悉以七寶滿其中，
彼藏如是極廣大，
猶如無量恒沙剎。
If one had treasure troves as numerous as the sands of the Ganges,
All filled completely with the seven jewels,
Those troves would be so vast,
Like innumerable Buddha-lands as numerous as the Ganges’ sands.
若有菩薩樂惠施，
於其日夜常無間，
勇猛布施不暫停，
經於無量恒沙劫；
If there is a bodhisattva who delights in giving,
Day and night, constantly without interruption,
Courageously giving without the slightest pause,
Throughout innumerable kalpas as countless as Ganges sands;
若有聞此三昧者，
便持一切牟尼藏，
此為無量福德聚，
過於前施難思議。
If [on the other hand,] there is one who hears this samādhi,
[That latter one] then holds all the Treasuries of the Sages,
This is an immeasurable accumulation of merit,
Surpassing the previously mentioned gifts and is inconceivable.
如此福德廣無邊，
能令滅於世間苦，
是為最上功德聚，
比於施福廣難量。
Such merit is vast and without bounds,
It can extinguish the sufferings of the world,
This is the highest accumulation of merit,
It is hard to measure even in comparison with the merit of giving.
隨順菩提第一藏，
智慧菩薩能受持，
若有持是三昧者，
名具大財勝菩薩。
Accordant with bodhi, this is the foremost treasury,
A wise bodhisattva can uphold it,
If there is one who maintains this Samādhi,
They are called a bodhisattva endowed with the most incredible wealth.
是為佛法多聞海，
彼人福德難盡邊，
於此勝妙難思法，
便名菩薩真護持。
This is the ocean of extensive learning in the Buddha-Dharma,
For that person, merit is hard to exhaust or limit,
Concerning this most excellent and inconceivable Dharma,
They are called a bodhisattva who truly protects.
若有能說寂滅定，
彼人菩提便增長，
惟除世師調御士，
具足大悲自然智，
If there is one who can teach the quiescent samādhi,
That person’s bodhi will then increase,
Surpassed only by the World Teacher, the Charioteer and Trainer,
Endowed with great compassion and spontaneous wisdom;
能獲無量諸功德，
福德成就轉增上，
於其三千大千界，
無有能與其比者；
They can attain innumerable merits,
Their perfected merit increasing in eminence,
Throughout the cosmos of three thousand great thousand worlds,
None can compare with them.
餘人福德無與等，
智所讚智亦復然，
若人聞是三昧者，
有能受持而讀誦，
Others’ merit cannot equal theirs,
Praised by the wise, who they are like;
If there is one who hears this Samādhi,
Can take up and bear, read and recite,
為求諸佛勝菩提，
如是輩人乃與等。
出生多聞猶如海，
彼人福德不可量，
Seeking the supreme bodhi of all the Buddhas,
Such people become their equals.
Bringing forth extensive learning like an ocean,
Their merit is immeasurable.
受持、讀誦此三昧，
如是之人所攝福。
童子！若福是色者，
一切世界莫能容。
By taking up, bearing, and reading and reciting this Samādhi,
Such a person gathers merit,
O youth! If their merit had form,
All worlds could not contain it.
是故，童子！若菩薩，
若欲供養一切佛，
過、現、未來清淨者，
應當受持是三昧。
Therefore, O youth! If a bodhisattva
Wishes to make offerings to all Buddhas—
The pure ones of past, present, and future,
They should take up and bear this Samādhi.
此是諸佛勝菩提，
童子！汝當信我言，
如來所說無有異，
我等諸佛言不虛。
This is the supreme bodhi of all the buddhas,
O youth! You should have faith in my words,
What the Tathāgata has spoken is never false,
We buddhas do not speak untruth.
昔於難思百劫中，
我為是故消竭身，
常修最妙菩提行，
為求如是勝定故。
Long ago, for hundreds of inconceivable kalpas,
I exhausted my body for this very purpose,
Always cultivating the most excellent conduct aimed at bodhi,
Seeking just such a supreme samādhi.
是故汝應受法藏，
那由他經從斯出，
此福聚廣不思議，
以能獲得諸佛智。
Therefore, you should receive this Dharma Treasury,
From which nayutas of sūtras arise,
This accumulation of merit is vast and inconceivable,
For it can lead to the attainment of the wisdom of all buddhas.
一切眾經此為首，
出生無量諸善業，
恒常無畏說是經，
彼法邊際不可得。
Of all the various sūtras, this is the foremost,
Bringing forth countless wholesome deeds;
Always fearlessly proclaiming this sūtra,
The end of its Dharma teachings cannot be obtained.
碎壞三千以為末，
或可能知諸塵數；
常說難思百千經，
無有能得測量者。
If one were to grind the cosmos of three thousand great thousand worlds into dust,
Perhaps one could know the number of its dust motes;
Constantly proclaiming hundreds of thousands of inconceivable sūtras,
No one can measure them.
此佛剎中諸眾生，
出入氣息猶可知；
菩薩常所演說經，
無有能知其畔際。
In this Buddha-land, regarding its sentient beings,
One might still know the measure of their breathing in and out;
But the sūtras that bodhisattvas constantly expound,
No one can know their boundary or limit.
若佛剎土如恒沙，
其中六趣諸群生，
有能測量其心數，
無有知彼所說經；
If Buddha-lands were as numerous as the sands of the Ganges,
And within them, the beings of the six realms,
Even if one could measure the number of their minds,
No one could know the sūtras they explain.
無量諸億世界剎，
彼界大海、河、池沙，
此諸沙數可算知，
無能知彼所說法；
With innumerable koṭīs of world-realms,
Their great oceans, rivers, and sands in pools,
Though one could count the number of their sand,
No one can know the Dharma they proclaim.
析一毛端為百分，
可以渧數多億剎，
所有一切諸水聚，
彼諸言音不可知；
If one were to split a single hair-tip into a hundred parts,
And by drops from it measure the waters of countless koṭīs of realms,
One could have accumulated all such water,
But still, one could not know the extent of their [Dharmas’] words and sounds.
過去無量億劫中，
所有一切諸眾生，
其身塵數猶可算，
不能知彼所說經；
In the countless koṭīs of past kalpas,
All sentient beings therein,
Though one might count the dust motes of their bodies,
One could not know the sūtras they proclaimed.
十方一切諸眾生，
彼之音聲可算知，
其所演說不斷絕，
不能知彼修多羅。
All sentient beings in the ten directions,
One might count their voices and sounds,
No matter how unceasing their discourse,
They cannot know how many sūtras there are.
言詞句義已善學，
復能演說一切法，
廣大捷利之智慧，
了知實法并問答。
Having well-studied words, phrases, and meanings,
And able to expound all Dharma teachings,
With vast, swift, and beneficial wisdom,
They understand the True Dharma and answer all inquiries.
智慧通達深廣義，
應常知心不思議，
悉知音聲自體性，
是故言說無罣礙。
With wisdom penetrating profound and extensive meanings,
They should always know the mind’s inconceivability,
Thoroughly knowing the intrinsic nature of sounds,
Thus, their speech is without obstruction.
名為無礙大法師，
為世說法無所著，
問答解釋已善習，
了達第一義諦故。
They are called a great Dharma teacher with no obstruction,
Teaching the world’s beings without attachment,
Well-trained in answering questions and explanations,
They have realised the ultimate meaning.
於一句中億論釋，
不思議說無滯著，
學於無礙之句義，
處眾演說無擁滯。
Within a single phrase, they can give myriad explanations,
Their inconceivable speech has no stagnation or attachment,
Having studied unobstructed meanings of phrases,
They have no impediment in teaching among the assemblies.
若有常住此三昧，
成就無畏不動轉，
已得法力行勝行，
能利無量億眾生。
If there is one who constantly abides by this Samādhi,
They achieve fearlessness and immobile non-retrogression,
Already having attained the power of Dharma and the practice of supreme conduct,
They can benefit countless koṭīs of sentient beings.
猶如須彌安不動，
諸有猛風莫能壞；
法師比丘亦如是，
一切諸論無能異。
Just like Mount Sumeru, stable and unmoving,
No fierce winds can destroy it;
So, too, is the Dharma-teacher bhikṣu,
No debates can alter him.
三千大千世界剎，
其中所有諸山等，
一切風吹或動搖，
比丘住空莫能動。
In the cosmos of three thousand great thousand worlds,
All the mountains and so forth within,
May be shaken or moved by all the winds,
But a bhikṣu abiding in emptiness cannot be moved.
若能與空恒相應，
是佛決定所住處，
若人定知諸法空，
一切異論無能勝。
If one can constantly accord with emptiness,
This is certainly the abode of the Buddha,
If one definitely knows that all dharmas are empty,
No divergent arguments can prevail over them.
諸餘邪說不傾動、
一切外論無能壞，
無有侵陵、毀蔑者，
由說如是寂定故；
All other heretical teachings cannot sway them,
No external doctrines can destroy them,
No one can violate or slander them,
Because they proclaim such a quiescent concentration.
彼人窮盡於空法，
恒常安住無量智，
於一切法無有疑，
持是最勝三昧故；
That person has thoroughly investigated the emptiness of all dharmas,
Always abiding in immeasurable wisdom,
Having no doubts about all dharmas,
Because they uphold this most supreme Samādhi.
諸力、道品得不難，
神足、無礙辯才等，
及獲勝通亦復然，
受持讀誦是經故；
Attaining the various powers and factors of the path is not difficult,
Likewise, achieving supernormal powers and unobstructed eloquence,
And also obtaining superior spiritual attainments is likewise,
Because of taking up, bearing, reading, and reciting this sūtra.
死此生彼不為難，
能見最勝無量智，
不思議億那由佛，
持是經者悉得見。
Dying here and being reborn elsewhere is not difficult,
They can see the most supreme, immeasurable wisdom,
Inconceivable koṭīs of nayutas of buddhas,
Are all seen by those who bear this sūtra.
於斯一切諸佛所，
得聞如是離垢定，
成就最勝相應智，
能到四種辯才岸。
In the presence of all these Buddhas,
They hear such a defilement-free Samādhi,
Accomplishing supreme corresponding wisdom,
They can reach the shore of the four types of eloquence.
於諸三千大千界，
從其下際至有頂，
諸天可愛光摩尼，
及以七寶悉充滿，
Within the cosmoses of three thousand great thousand worlds,
From its lowest limit up to the Peak of Existence,
If all were filled with delightful luminous maṇi gems cherished by the devas,
And the seven precious substances,
十方無量諸佛剎，
下從大地至有頂，
閻浮提金皆充滿，
悉以此寶奉牟尼。
In the infinite Buddha-lands of the ten directions,
From the great earth below up to the Peak of Existence,
If all were filled with Jambūnāda gold,
And all offered to the sages,
一切世間所有寶，
經無量劫用布施，
奉施如來恒不絕，
深信為求菩提故；
All the treasures of the entire world,
Offered as gifts for innumerable kalpas,
Constantly giving to the Tathāgata without end,
With deep faith, seeking bodhi,
若有比丘愛樂空，
一念合掌而禮佛，
比前廣施福德聚，
施福不及迦羅分。
And if, on the other hand, a bhikṣu delights in emptiness,
And in one thought moment, joins palms in reverence to the Buddha,
Compared to the vast accumulation of merit from the previous giving,
The giving’s merit does not reach even a fraction of a kalā [minute part] of the latter.
若人得彼廣多物，
信心為福故行施，
為求無等佛菩提，
我知世間已校量；
If a person obtains abundant and vast goods,
Gives them with faith to generate merit,
Seeking incomparable Buddha-bodhi,
I know this can be measured in the world.
若人於此三昧所，
聞已受持四句偈，
是人所集之功德，
前福百分不及一。
If, on the other hand, a person, regarding this Samādhi,
After hearing it, he upholds just four lines of verse from it,
The merit this person accumulates—
The previous merit, even a hundredfold, does not equal one part of it.
最勝菩薩行布施，
未能速得無上道；
若有聞是勝寶定，
彼速得於上菩提。
A most excellent bodhisattva practising giving,
Cannot yet swiftly attain unsurpassed bodhi;
But if one hears this supreme precious Samādhi,
They will swiftly attain the highest bodhi.
假使得於珍寶藏，
遍滿無量恒沙剎，
種種寶物悉充滿，
菩薩不以為富足；
Even if one obtains treasure troves,
Filling innumerable lands as numerous as the Ganges’ sands,
All replete with various precious things,
A bodhisattva does not consider this wealth.
若斷渴愛修功德，
又能得是三昧者，
便具一切諸資生，
庫藏盈滿備大財。
If one cuts off craving and cultivates merit,
And further obtains this Samādhi,
They then possess all means of livelihood,
Their storerooms overflowing, endowed with great wealth.
設令獲于四天下，
智者於此不為喜；
若得如斯離垢定，
歡喜踊躍利眾生。」
Suppose one gains the Four Continents,
The wise would not rejoice in this;
But if they obtain such a defilement-free Samādhi,
They will delight, exult, and benefit sentient beings."
爾時，彌勒菩薩摩訶薩被於甲冑便讚歎此三昧利益，亦為當來菩薩受持、讀誦得歡喜故，助其勢力而說偈言：
At that time, Maitreya Bodhisattva Mahāsattva, having donned armour, praised the benefits of this samādhi and also for the sake of future bodhisattvas to take up, bear, read, and recite it, to gain joy, and to assist their strength, spoke this gāthā:
「彼彼能持智人法，
功德威勢救護者，
亦於諸佛能受持，
廣大勝妙之法眼。
“Those wise ones who can uphold the Dharma,
They are guardians of merit and authoritative power,
They also can take up and bear, from all buddhas,
The vast and supremely excellent Dharma-eye.
末世惡時多貪、瞋，
捨不放逸常放逸，
實義滿足勝經典，
誰有能得受持者？
In the final age, an evil time of much greed and anger,
When beings abandon non-negligence and always become negligent,
Regarding the perfectly fulfilled supreme scriptures of true meaning,
Who will be able to take up and bear them?
彼彼戒、定、忍聞財，
善學威儀而莊嚴，
愛樂法智解脫樹，
能被慚愧勝上服，
Those who, with various morality, meditation, patience, and a wealth of hearing,
Are adorned by a well-studied demeanour,
Delight in the Dharma-wisdom of the tree of liberation,
And can don the supreme garment of shame and remorse.
持大智慧樂出離，
是為大地法山王，
觀於世間無導師，
為彼趣詣佛菩提。
They maintain great wisdom and delight in liberation,
Being the king of Dharma-mountains upon the great earth,
Observing that the world has no guide,
They lead them toward Buddha-bodhi.
彼彼調伏心寂滅，
是人趣向一切智；
不調眾生令調伏，
是一切智最勝子。
Constantly taming the mind into quiescence,
Such a person advances toward all knowledge;
They train untrained sentient beings until they are trained,
This child of omniscience is supreme.
自證解脫令他到，
於愛枝條而得脫，
於常放逸睡眾生，
便能令彼得覺悟。
They realise liberation themselves and enable others to attain it,
Escaping the branches of craving,
They awaken those beings always heedless and asleep,
Thus allowing them to become awakened.
彼彼恒樂善調伏，
亦常喜樂於法施，
不與一切妬嫉俱，
好行惠施無愛悋，
They always take delight in well-training,
And constantly rejoice in giving the Dharma,

They enjoy generosity free from stinginess.

They always provide them with necessities,
This is the supreme path of fulfilled merit,
And the wise constantly cultivate it.

智慧堅固如金剛，
They beat the drum of the great and excellent Dharma,
With a joyful mind, they strike it,

Their wisdom is firm like vajra.

能生智慧亦如礦，
They themselves abide in supreme supernormal powers,
Able to bestow the most excellent eye upon the world,

They behold all the guides of the ten directions,
Guarding the faculties without defilement,

恒常讚說不斷絕，
Suppose all sentient beings of the ten directions
At once became teachers,
For nayuta-counted kalpas
They would ceaselessly praise without interruption,
無礙辯才而不盡，

持在心者能如是。」

Nor would the praised virtues ever be exhausted,
Regarding this matchless defilement-free concentration,
Those who hold it in their hearts can act thus."
