The Sutra of the Vast, Great, and Perfect Entry into the Inconceivable Wisdom and Virtue of the Tathāgata is a Buddhist scripture translated by the renowned Tang dynasty translator Śikṣānanda, belonging to the important corpus of the Avataṃsaka (Flower Garland) category. This sutra expounds upon the inconceivable state of the Tathāgata's wisdom and meritorious qualities, emphasizing that all sentient beings inherently possess Buddha-nature and can realize the Tathāgata's wisdom and virtue through cultivation. The content of the sutra is profound, encompassing core Huayan teachings such as the dependent arising of the Dharma-realm and the principle that "one is all," revealing the perfectly interpenetrating and unobstructed state of the Buddha. Śikṣānanda, one of the three great translators during the reign of Empress Wu Zetian, produced an authoritative translation within Chinese Buddhism. This sutra has profoundly influenced the formation of the Huayan school's philosophical system and serves as a vital text for the study of Mahāyāna Buddha-nature thought and Huayan doctrine, holding an esteemed position among Buddhist scriptures.

Sutra on the Vast, Unobstructed Entry into the Inconceivable Wisdom and Virtue of the Thus-Come One (

大唐于闐三藏實叉難陀譯

Translated by Śikṣānanda, Tripitaka Master from Khotan, Great Tang

如是我聞:

Thus I have heard:

一時,佛在摩竭提國寂滅道場普光明殿,無量功德之所集起,見者靡不生大喜樂,永離一切輕毀之心。佛於其中坐寶蓮花師子之座,證淨等覺,所行無二,住佛所住,悉與一切諸佛平等,到無障礙不退轉法。一切所行,無能制伏,常作佛事,未曾休息。體法無相,住不思議,三世所生,了無差別。其身充遍一切世界,智達諸法,甞無迷惑,覺一切行,斷諸疑網,其身微妙,不可分別。到無二智究竟彼岸,為諸菩薩之所宗仰,住無差別如來解脫,入無中邊佛平等地,通達一切虛空法界,窮未來劫,常轉法輪。

Once, the Buddha was at the Pure and Radiant Hall in the Land of Stillness and Enlightenment, in the kingdom of Magadha. This place was the gathering of countless merits and virtues—whoever saw it was filled with great joy and forever free from any thoughts of belittlement or contempt. There, the Buddha sat upon a lion throne of precious lotus, having realized pure and equal enlightenment. His actions were without duality; he abided in what the Buddha abides in, and was fully equal to all Buddhas. He had reached the unimpeded and irreversible state of Dharma. No one could subdue any of his actions. He constantly performed the work of a Buddha, never resting. His essence transcended all forms and dwelled in the inconceivable. He saw clearly that all beings of the past, present, and future were without distinction. His body filled all worlds throughout the universe. His wisdom penetrated all things without ever being confused; he understood all actions and cut through every net of doubt. His body was so subtle that it could not be distinguished or divided. He had reached the ultimate destination of non-dual wisdom and was honored and revered by all bodhisattvas. He abided in the Tathagata’s liberation, which is free from distinctions; he entered the Buddhas’ equal state that has neither center nor boundaries. Penetrating all realms of space and Dharma, throughout the endless future, he continuously turns the wheel of Dharma.

與大比丘眾六十二億人俱,皆悉了達諸法實相,自性平等,猶如虛空,無所依著,永離一切煩惱蓋纏。一切如來智慧方便皆能隨入,於一法中了一切法,無分別智常現在前,常勤修習趣種智道,心無退轉,皆已成就到彼岸智,隨一切境,所行方便,無不具足。

With them were sixty-two billion great monks, all of whom had fully realized the true nature of all phenomena. They understood that the essential nature of things is equal and unchanging, like empty space—free from all attachment and forever separated from every mental hindrance and bondage. They could effortlessly enter into the wisdom and skillful means of all Tathagatas. Within a single phenomenon, they comprehended all phenomena. The wisdom of non-discrimination constantly appeared before them. They diligently cultivated the path leading to omniscience, never retreating from their resolve. They had all attained the perfection of transcendent wisdom, and their skillful means adapted to every situation were complete and fully realized.

其名曰舍利弗、大目揵連、摩訶迦旃延、摩訶迦葉、那提迦葉、伽耶迦葉、摩訶劫賓那、離婆多、阿㝹樓馱、須菩提、富樓那彌多羅尼子、憍梵波提、周利槃陀、財力士子、佉陀羅、商主准陀、摩訶俱絺羅、難陀、羅睺羅、阿難,如是等諸大弟子而為上首。

Their names are: Shariputra, Mahamaudgalyayana, Mahakatyayana, Mahakashyapa, Nadi Kashyapa, Gaya Kashyapa, Mahakapphina, Revata, Anuruddha, Subhuti, Purna Maitrayaniputra, Gavampati, Shrimala, Nanda, Rahula, and Ananda. These were the foremost among the Buddha's great disciples.

復與六十億比丘尼俱——皆已久集清淨白法,近佛種智,了達方便,證一切法無性、無相,安住實際,解一切法無生、無滅,無所除斷,住不思議解脫三昧,隨諸眾生應可調伏,示現種種威儀色相,而於其中無所分別——其名曰:摩訶波闍波提及耶輸陀羅而為上首。

Also present were sixty billion bhikshunis (nuns), all of whom had long gathered pure and wholesome qualities. They were close to the Buddha's wisdom, thoroughly understood skillful means, and realized that all phenomena have no inherent nature and no form. They abided in ultimate reality, understanding that all phenomena neither arise nor cease, and that nothing needs to be removed or abandoned. They dwelt in the inconceivable liberation and meditative concentration, and according to the needs of beings suitable for guidance, they manifested various dignified postures and forms, yet remained without discrimination among them. Their leaders were Mahaprajapati and Yashodhara.

復與十佛剎不可說百千億那由他微塵等菩薩摩訶薩俱,皆是一生補處,從餘方界來集於此,盡能普入十方世界,得涅槃道善方便智,安住菩薩觀察成就一切眾生方便法門,攝諸眾生,令斷一切戲論執取,了達諸法無邊無中,知諸眾生善惡業果皆不可得,亦不失壞。

Moreover, he was accompanied by as many great bodhisattvas as there are grains of dust in ten billion trillion Buddha lands. These were all bodhisattvas in their final life before Buddhahood, who had gathered here from other realms. They could freely enter all worlds throughout the ten directions, possessed the wisdom of skillfully entering the path to liberation, and abided in the bodhisattva's practice of observing and fulfilling the compassionate methods for guiding all beings.

They embraced all beings, helping them cut through all pointless debates and stubborn attachments. They understood that all phenomena have neither boundary nor center, and recognized that while the causes and results of beings' good and evil actions cannot be solidly grasped, their effects are never lost.

又能究其意樂煩惱諸根所行,具持三世如來所說諸法句義,無有忘失,通達一切有為無為、世出世法,成就三世諸佛智輪。

And they are able to investigate beings' intentions, afflictions, and the workings of their faculties. They fully retain the meaning of all the Dharma phrases spoken by the Tathāgatas of the three times, without any loss. They perfectly understand all conditioned and unconditioned dharmas, both worldly and transcendent, and realize the wheel of wisdom of all Buddhas of the three times.

於念念中現天宮沒、受生、出家、修行苦行、詣菩提樹、降魔成佛、轉正法輪、般涅槃相,常不厭捨一切眾生,覺悟令發大菩提心,能於一眾生心所緣境,入一切眾生心所緣境,成就自然智而受菩薩身,一切智行未曾退轉,雖常修習,而無所作。

In every moment, they manifest the appearances of departing from celestial palaces, taking birth, leaving home, practicing austerities, going to the Bodhi tree, subduing demons, attaining Buddhahood, turning the wheel of the true Dharma, and entering Parinirvana. Constantly, without ever abandoning any being, they awaken them and inspire them to generate the great Bodhi mind. They are able to enter into the mental objects of all beings through the mental object of a single being, and attain intrinsic wisdom while assuming the form of a Bodhisattva. Their practice of omniscient wisdom never regresses, and though they constantly cultivate and practice, they are without any sense of doing so.

能無量劫為一眾生住世說法,護持法藏,紹諸佛種。於無佛處現佛出世如眾生數,示成正覺,得加趺坐,充遍十方,圓滿大智。嚴淨一切雜穢國土,滅除一切菩薩業障。虛空法界,一切功德皆悉具足。證法實際,無所障礙,得一切法平等智印。印知諸法,自性平等,所見所聞,如影如響。

They may remain in the world for countless eons, teaching for the sake of a single being, guarding the treasury of Dharma, and continuing the lineage of buddhas. In places without a buddha, they cause as many buddhas to appear as there are beings, demonstrating the attainment of perfect enlightenment. Sitting in full lotus posture, they fill the ten directions, perfect in great wisdom. They purify all impure lands, and eliminate all obstacles in the path of bodhisattvas. They fully possess all virtues throughout space and the realm of Dharma. They realize the ultimate truth of reality, free from all hindrance, and attain the seal of equality with regard to all dharmas. With this seal they recognize all dharmas, seeing that their inherent nature is equal. Whatever they see or hear is like a shadow or an echo.

住不思議解脫三昧自在遊戲首楞嚴定,成就出生諸佛相好陀羅尼門,具三世佛清淨行願,成就普賢殊勝意樂。

They abide in the inconceivable state of liberative samadhi, roaming freely in the heroic concentration of the Surangama Samadhi. They have mastered the dharani gate that brings forth the radiant marks and features of all Buddhas. Fulfilling the pure vows and practices of the Buddhas of the three times, they embody the supreme and compassionate aspiration of Samantabhadra.

諸佛出世,咸詣其所,恭敬勸請。於一毛道中現一切世界,於一毛道中現於十方,始從下生,乃至最後般涅槃相。以十方一切諸佛眾會現一佛眾會;以一佛眾會,現十方一切諸佛眾會。現十方界入自身中,於自身中現一切眾生身,隨為演說無量法要。

When all Buddhas appear in the world, they gather around him, paying respect and earnestly requesting his teachings. Within a single hair-tip, he manifests all worlds. Within a single hair-tip, he manifests the ten directions, from his birth to his final entry into Nirvana. He gathers the assemblies of all Buddhas from the ten directions into a single Buddha's assembly. From a single Buddha's assembly, he manifests the assemblies of all Buddhas throughout the ten directions. He manifests the realms of the ten directions entering into his own body. Within his own body, he manifests the bodies of all beings, and accordingly teaches them countless essential truths.

現一切佛身入一佛身,以一佛身入一切佛身;於一眾生身現無量眾生身,於一切眾生身現一眾生身;於一生身現三世生身,三世生身現一生身。

A single Buddha body reveals all Buddha bodies, and all Buddha bodies are contained within a single Buddha body. From one sentient being arises countless sentient beings, and all sentient beings are found within one single being. One moment of existence reveals the past, present, and future, while all three times are present within a single moment.

現過去世入未來世,以未來世入過去世;以過去世入現在世,以現在世入過去世。於一身中入深禪定,於無量無數身起;無量無數身入深禪定,於一身起。

The past enters the future, the future enters the past, the past enters the present, and the present enters the past. In one body, enter deep meditation; in countless bodies, arise. From countless bodies, enter deep meditation; in one body, arise.

於一佛身現一切眾生身,一切眾生身現一佛身;於眾生身現淨法身,於淨法身現眾生身。以一佛剎及莊嚴事現一切淨剎;以一切佛剎及莊嚴事現一淨剎;以十方界入一毛孔,為諸眾生顯示一切諸佛願力,普於十方隨可化度,為現無上正等菩提。於無數劫一一世界行菩薩行而無休息;於一微塵容納無邊不可稱量算數世界,令諸眾生無有迫窄。促無量不思議劫為一須臾,演一須臾為無量不思議劫。一剎那中,普於十方一切世界,隨諸眾生——卵生、胎生、濕生、化生,有形、無形、有色、無色,無足、二足、四足、多足,天龍、夜叉、乾闥婆、阿修羅、迦樓羅、緊那羅、摩睺羅伽、釋、梵、護世、人、非人等——應可調伏,為現種種威儀所行,而其身心無分別用。

One Buddha body manifests all beings' bodies, and all beings' bodies manifest one Buddha body. The pure truth-body is revealed within beings' bodies, and beings' bodies are revealed within the pure truth-body. One Buddha-land with its adornments manifests all pure lands; all Buddha-lands with their adornments manifest one pure land. The ten directions merge into a single pore, showing all beings the power of the Buddhas' vows. Everywhere in the ten directions, wherever beings can be taught, the supreme enlightenment of Buddhahood is presented. Without rest, for countless eons, the bodhisattva path is practiced in every world. Boundless, immeasurable worlds are contained within a single atom, yet beings feel no crowding. Immeasurable, inconceivable eons are compressed into an instant; one instant is expanded into immeasurable, inconceivable eons. In a single moment, everywhere in the ten directions and in all worlds, beings—whether born from eggs, wombs, moisture, or transformation; whether with form or without form; whether with awareness or without awareness; whether they have zero, two, four, or many feet; whether gods, dragons, yakshas, gandharvas, asuras, garudas, kinnaras, mahoragas, Shakra, Brahma, world-protectors, humans, or non-humans—those ready to be tamed receive the display of all manner of conduct and behavior, yet the body and mind of the Buddha have no discriminating function.

復有無量不可思議、不可稱量天龍、夜叉、乾闥婆、阿修羅、迦樓羅、緊那羅、摩睺羅伽、釋、梵、護世,皆從十方佛剎來集。

Also present were countless beings beyond all conception, measure, and description: celestial dragons, yakshas, gandharvas, asuras, garudas, kinnaras, mahoragas, as well as lords like Shakra, Brahma, and the Guardians of the World. All of them had gathered from countless Buddha-lands throughout the ten directions.

時此世界復有百億六欲諸天、魔王、太子、商主為首,與無量諸天眷屬俱詣佛所,為見如來禮拜、供養、聽受法故。

At that time, in this world, there were also hundreds of billions of heavens of the six desire realms, along with the Demon King, the crown prince, and the merchant leader at their head, together with countless celestial beings in their retinue—all came to the Buddha’s place to see the Tathagata, pay homage, make offerings, and listen to the Dharma.

復有百億大梵天王,乃至百億色究竟天、魔醯首羅而為上首,亦與無量諸天眷屬俱詣佛所,為見如來禮拜、供養、聽受法故。復有百億八部王眾及無量人、非人、優婆塞、優婆夷等,各與眷屬俱詣佛所,為見如來禮拜、供養、聽受法故。

Also present were hundreds of billions of Great Brahma Heavenly Kings, up to hundreds of billions of beings from the Form Supreme Heaven, with Maheshvara as their leader. Together with countless heavenly beings and their retinues, they all came to the Buddha's location to see the Tathagata, pay homage, make offerings, and listen to his teachings.

Also present were hundreds of billions of leaders from the eight classes of beings, as well as countless humans, non-humans, laymen, and laywomen. Each came with their own retinues to the Buddha's location to see the Tathagata, pay homage, make offerings, and listen to his teachings.

復有一切草木、叢林、諸藥神等,及彌樓山、摩訶彌樓山、目真隣陀山、摩訶目真隣陀山、雪山、鐵圍山等一切山神;河海、陂池、國邑、聚落所有諸神,并八部眾諸宮殿神,亦與眷屬俱詣佛所,為見如來禮拜、供養、聽受法故。

Then all the spirits of grasses, trees, thickets, forests, and various medicinal herbs; and all the mountain spirits of Mount Sumeru, Great Mount Sumeru, Mucilinda Mountain, Great Mucilinda Mountain, the Snowy Mountains, and the Iron Encircling Mountains; and all the spirits of rivers, seas, ponds, lakes, cities, towns, and villages; and the spirits of the palaces of the Eight Groups of beings, also came with their retinues to where the Buddha was, to see the Tathagata, to pay homage, make offerings, and listen to the Dharma.

復有百億日月諸天,及阿那婆達多龍王,各與無量眷屬圍繞,俱詣佛所,為見如來禮拜、供養、聽受法故。

There were also hundreds of billions of suns, moons, and celestial beings, along with the dragon king Anavatapta and his countless attendants, all gathering before the Buddha. They came to see the Tathagata, to bow in reverence, make offerings, and listen to the Dharma.

是諸大眾以佛神力不相障礙,無有迫隘。

Due to the Buddha's spiritual power, the members of the great assembly did not hinder one another, and there was no sense of crowding or obstruction.

爾時世尊光明顯照,蔽於眾會,猶如白月十五日滿,淨除雲翳,光明顯照,映蔽眾星,亦如須彌山王安住不動。如來光明普蔽一切釋梵諸天,高顯特尊亦復如是。
爾時文殊師利童子告滅諸蓋菩薩言:「如來今者安住於此,身不動搖,汝知之乎?」
彼即答言:「文殊師利!如來今者雖在此會安住不動,有諸天人或見出家修行苦行;或見往詣菩提樹下安處道場,降伏魔怨,成等正覺,諸天龍王、夜叉、乾闥婆、阿修羅、迦樓羅、緊那羅、摩睺羅伽、釋梵、護世咸共讚言:『善哉!大師能勝怨敵!』或見釋梵、護世諸天勸請說法:或見為其說布施法;或見為說持戒、忍辱、精進、禪定、智慧、方便、力、願、智法;或見為說聲聞乘法;或見為說獨覺乘法;或見為說無上乘法;或見為說畜生、餓鬼、閻摩羅界、四天王天、三十三天,乃至梵宮受生等法;或見為說生人趣法;或見為說生轉輪王法。
「又,文殊師利!於此眾中,或見如來身高一尋;或一俱盧、或二俱盧;或半由旬、或一由旬、或二由旬、或十由旬、或百或千或萬由旬,或見五萬、十萬、百萬或五百萬,乃至或見超過一切數量由旬。
「或見佛身作真金色、或琉璃色、或帝青摩尼色、或大青摩尼色、或光明摩尼色、或紅蓮花摩尼色、或釋迦毘楞伽摩尼色、或金剛光明摩尼色、或天光摩尼色、或日月光摩尼色、或水精摩尼色、或頗梨摩尼色、或自在王摩尼色、或集眾光摩尼色、或師子鬘摩尼色、或師子幢摩尼色、或海住淨光摩尼色、或如意摩尼色:隨諸眾生應見如來是眾色相而調伏者,所見各殊;隨聞如來為說何法而成熟者,所聞各異;隨依何教而修行者,各如說行皆得成就。
「文殊師利!設於十方無量不可思議、不可稱量世界,滿中天龍、夜叉、乾闥婆、阿修羅、迦樓羅、緊那羅、摩睺羅伽、釋、梵、護世、人、非人等,猶如竹林、甘蔗、胡麻。若諸眾生應見如來而調伏者,見佛色相各各不同,面向其前,一尋而住,為其說法,如說修行,皆得成就。如來雖作如是眾事,自然應現而無分別。
「文殊師利!如滿月輪夜半之時,閻浮提中一切眾生各見月輪在其前現,是月未曾作念分別:『令諸眾生各覩我現。』法爾而有如是事起。如來亦爾,雖復普現諸眾生前,亦不分別:『令諸眾生皆得見我現前而住。』但隨眾生可調伏者,各自見佛現在其前。何以故?隨應眾生不共法故。
「文殊師利!如一切眾生由上、中、下業果力故,所作諸行亦有三品。而是諸行,終不自生三種分別,但由業故,自然有是上、中、下品諸行事起。如來亦爾,由諸眾生業果力故,各自見佛,如來亦無上、中、下念,自然應現如是等事。
「文殊師利!如淨頗梨置諸衣上作種種色:若在黃衣,便作黃色;在青赤衣,作青赤色,隨其所置,雖作彼色,是淨頗梨終無分別。如來亦爾,由眾生感作種種色:若諸眾生應見金色而調伏者,便見金色;若有應見琉璃、真珠、帝青、大青、集眾光摩尼、海住淨光摩尼、師子鬘摩尼、師子幢摩尼、電燈摩尼、水精摩尼是諸寶色而調伏者,便見如來作如是等眾寶色相;或有應以釋、梵、護世而調伏者,便見釋、梵、護世色相;如是乃至應以地獄、餓鬼、畜生、閻羅王處、色無色界,卵生、胎生、濕生、化生,有色、無色、有想、無想、非有想非無想,隨何趣生威儀色相而調伏者,則見如來作如是等種種色相。然佛未曾分別念言:『令此眾生,惟見金色莫見琉璃;惟見琉璃莫見帝青;如是乃至惟見師子鬘摩尼,莫見師子幢摩尼色。』雖無如是異念分別,隨一切處,自然有是諸色相現。
「文殊師利!譬如出生自在摩尼王處不生諸鐵,是摩尼王終不念言:『令彼寶處但生於我,莫生於鐵。』然其寶處,鐵自不生。如來所生剎土亦爾,自無一切外道異論、諸惡賊亂、五無間罪、十不善業、非法王教,亦無一切日月、諸天及摩尼寶、火、電等光,及以須臾日月歲數,除佛變現化諸眾生,雖有所現而無分別。由眾生故,自然有是種種事起。
「文殊師利!譬如大青摩尼寶光,觸者皆作大青寶色,而寶終無異念分別;如來亦爾,觸佛作意所緣光者,靡不皆成一切智色。然佛亦無異念分別,自然而有如是事起。
「文殊師利!如善磨瑩大琉璃寶,隨於其邊安置種種手、足、頭、頸眾莊嚴具,以寶威力,彼莊嚴具莫不明顯;如來亦爾,隨其所行威儀住處有修行者,以佛威力,令其所行皆自增勝。然佛未曾動念分別,自然而有如是事起。
「文殊師利!如眾卉木依地而住各得增長,然地了無種種分別;如來亦爾,令諸眾生一切善根,依如來住各得增長,而實曾無異念分別,自然而有如是事起。
「文殊師利!譬如大雲普覆一切草木叢林,等澍甘雨,隨一味水所及之處,令諸草木皆得增長,種種色味差別不同,彼雲未曾有所分別,自然有是種種相異。如來亦爾,興正覺雲遍覆一切,隨諸眾生先所積集種種善根、種種願樂、種種信解、種種解脫,等澍法雨,令諸眾生一切善根,隨其勢力各得增長,如來亦不分別念言:『我當令是眾生善根生聲聞智;我當令是眾生善根生獨覺智;我當令是眾生善根生如來智;我當令是眾生善根生四天王天、三十三天,如是乃至淨居等天;我當令是眾生善根,得作國王,及與人中種種生處。』然佛雖無種種分別,隨諸眾生所集善根,願樂等力,自然有是種種事起,由佛已捨一切處著、無分別故。
「文殊師利!如日纔現,放無量億百千光明,破閻浮提一切黑暗,是日雖復不分別言『我當破暗』,自然而有破暗事生。如來日輪亦復如是,出世間已,放無量億智慧光明,滅除世間諸見黑暗,除佛威力示現成熟諸眾生者,如來雖不分別念言:『令眾生見,現破當破。』於一切處,自然有此種種事起,由佛已捨一切處著、無分別故。
「文殊師利!譬如幻師幻作眾像,雖有種種形類不同,幻無分別,不可稱說;無起無盡、無字無聲、無有方所、無體無相,不可思議;無二無行、無等無對,但由幻師現是眾相。如來亦爾,由眾生故,入於種種威儀行處,一切皆見。然實如來不可稱說、無起無盡、無字無聲、無有方所、無性無相、無二無行,等真法界非可觸對。
「文殊師利!譬如日映須彌山故,四洲眾生或見初出、或見日中、或見漸暮、或見初沒、或見夜半、或見漸曙;但一日輪,隨四天下諸眾生見各各不同。日無分別,但由山蔽,自然四洲所見各異。如來亦爾,於一眾會,或見如來將成正覺、已成正覺;將入涅槃、已入涅槃;或見成佛已經十年,乃至已經不可說劫;或見涅槃已經十年,乃至已經百千億劫;或見如來一十、二十,或四十年在世說法;或見法住,或見法滅。然佛曾無異念分別,由眾生故,自然有是種種事起。
「文殊師利!譬如大風吹閻浮提,一切草木枝葉紛亂,東西南北或靡或起,草木終無種種分別,但由風故,種種相生。如來亦爾,常無分別,由眾生力,於念念中,見有如是無量眾行威儀相起,乃至作意,緣諸眾生,令爾所劫,得斷地獄、畜生、餓鬼、閻羅等趣。
「文殊師利!如來成就如是無量微妙功德。」
「文殊師利!如來作意一念所緣,諸大菩薩無量百千那由他劫住不思議解脫三昧,不能知其功德邊際。
「文殊師利!譬如日輪從大海出,住虛空中,放無量億那由他光,遍照一切城邑聚落,破大黑暗,銷涸洿池,增長一切草木叢林,悉令成熟,發起一切所作事業,光影普入諸河池中,而常未曾離於本事。是日雖無種種分別,自然而有是等事現。如來亦爾,出諸有海,住法虛空,放無量億智慧光明,遍照十方一切世界,滅諸眾生無明翳膜,枯竭一切煩惱濁流,令諸眾生善根福慧增長成熟。雖同一時現是眾事,亦常湛然本處不動,由佛已離念想分別,自然應現是諸相故。
「文殊師利!若有善男子、善女人,於恒河沙劫,以天上味及天妙衣,施十方界微塵等一切諸佛及聲聞眾。彼佛滅後,為一一佛遍滿十方一一世界,造十方界微塵等塔。其塔皆是閻浮檀金,電光摩尼互相間錯,集眾光寶,周圍欄楯,寶幢遐建,寶鈴流響,蛇衛栴檀以為塗香,覆以自在摩尼王網。其上復有天寶蓋雲、寶幡幢雲、妙花香雲、摩尼王雲、如意珠雲,徘徊散空滿三千界。日日三時,如是供養,經恒沙劫,兼復教化無數眾生。如是供養,不如有人聞此入如來智德不思議境界法門,心生信解,其福過彼無量阿僧祇。
「文殊師利!若有菩薩信解此法,則速成滿菩薩摩訶薩無量億那由他諸波羅蜜,證入無量億那由他地,背捨無量億那由他生死,了知無量億那由他諸佛神通,破無量阿僧祇我慢山,倒無量阿僧祇慳嫉幢,竭無量阿僧祇愛河,渡無量阿僧祇生死海,斷無量阿僧祇魔網,掩蔽一切日月、釋、梵、護世威光。從一佛剎至一佛剎,能救地獄、餓鬼、畜生、閻羅王界諸苦眾生。常得親近諸佛菩薩,具足成就海印三昧、持一切法三昧、法自在三昧、諸相莊嚴三昧、寶生三昧、安樂三昧、蓮花莊嚴三昧、虛空藏三昧、隨入世間三昧、妙法花三昧、境界自在三昧、大奮迅三昧、虛空心三昧、師子奮迅三昧、日燈三昧、無量旋三昧、澍甘露三昧、金剛幢三昧、如金剛三昧、金剛齊三昧、地持三昧、須彌燈三昧、須彌幢三昧、寶藏三昧、心自在三昧、一切眾生心自在三昧、增長一切行三昧、深密方便三昧、種種辯才三昧、無能見三昧、了諸法三昧、遊戲三昧、出生一切神通三昧、降魔三昧、現一切色相三昧、一切色最勝三昧、觀身三昧、具一切行三昧、智燈三昧、菩提光三昧、樂說辯才三昧、入一切功德三昧、說諸法實相三昧、寂靜神通三昧、首楞嚴三昧、海潮三昧;又得無量佛身相陀羅尼、大智陀羅尼、淨音陀羅尼、無盡篋陀羅尼、無量旋陀羅尼、海印陀羅尼、入決定辯才陀羅尼、諸佛住持陀羅尼;又得隨順一切眾生,殊勝行一切法,無師智斷一切法疑,得佛神通,具菩薩行善巧方便。
「文殊師利!譬如須彌山王,高顯秀麗,映蔽餘山;菩薩信解此法門者,功德嚴淨,蔽諸眾生一切善根,亦復如是。」
爾時文殊師利告滅諸蓋菩薩言:「佛子!復更有餘勝法。若諸菩薩能信解者,便得成就餘勝功德。」
滅諸蓋菩薩聞是說已,復白文殊師利言:「若有菩薩信解五法,則能除此勝法得餘無量殊勝功德。何等為五?一者,信解一切諸法不生不滅,不可稱說,無比無對;二者,信解如來無功用、無分別,入過閻浮提微塵等威儀行處,剎那剎那常起不絕;三者,信解釋迦如來往昔教化蘇陀婆王,但為成熟諸眾生故,然實已於恒河沙劫久成正覺。四者,信解釋迦如來示然燈佛授記已來乃至成佛,於是中間修菩薩行,而實已於無量劫來成等正覺,住佛境界。五者,信解釋迦如來現託王宮,釋種被害,但為成熟諸眾生故,而實已於無量劫來成等正覺。
「文殊師利!菩薩若能於此五種生信解者,則能除此勝法,更得成就餘勝功德。
「文殊師利!若善男子、善女人,於恒河沙劫,日日以天百味飲食及天妙衣,施十方界微塵等諸阿羅漢、具六神通、八解脫者,所得功德,不如有人於一日中,但以飲食施一獨覺,其福勝彼阿僧祇倍。
「又,文殊師利!若善男子、善女人,遍十方界為阿僧祇辟支佛等,造十方界微塵等精舍,一一皆以閻浮檀金所成,摩尼為柱,階陛欄楯、樓閣戶牖,咸以眾寶種種莊嚴,施大寶帳,塗妙栴檀;日日以天百味飲食及天妙衣恭敬供養,於恒沙劫,不如有人或聞佛名、或世尊名、或如來名、或一切智名,所得功德復過於彼阿僧祇倍。況以彩畫、或以泥塐作如來像,觀見之者,福又過彼阿僧祇倍。況以燈油、香花、伎樂種種供養,福又過彼阿僧祇倍。何況有能於佛法中,下至一日護持一戒,福轉過彼阿僧祇倍。
「文殊師利!若有善男子、善女人於恒河沙劫,日日以天百味飲食及天妙衣,供十方界微塵等諸佛菩薩及聲聞眾;諸佛滅後,一一皆起十方界微塵等塔,一一塔量遍四天下,形製奇妙,眾寶莊嚴,幡蓋、伎樂,諸供養具,逾勝於前,雖諸功德皆悉具足,未能信解此法門者,不如有人能信解是入如來智德不思議境界法門,乃至以一摶食施於畜生,其福過彼阿僧祇倍。
「文殊師利!若有菩薩信解此經,如其所說供養諸佛,有餘菩薩聞已歡喜,生淨信心,從坐而起合掌作禮,隨其所堪修行供養,福又過彼阿僧祇倍,是人不久得佛智故。」
說是經時,彼諸比丘及菩薩眾,一切世間天、人、阿修羅等,歡喜信受,作禮奉行。
