Chapter 1: Prologue
如是我聞：
Thus I have heard:
一時，薄伽梵住最勝光曜七寶莊嚴，放大光明，普照一切無邊世界，無量方所妙飾間列，周圓無際，其量難測，超過三界所行之處，勝出世間善根所起，最極自在淨識為相。如來所都，諸大菩薩眾所雲集，無量天、龍、藥叉、健達縛、阿素洛、揭路茶、緊捺洛、牟呼洛伽、人、非人等，常所翼從，廣大法味喜樂所持，作諸眾生一切義利，滅諸煩惱災橫纏垢，遠離眾魔、過諸莊嚴，如來莊嚴之所依處，大念、慧、行以為遊路，大止妙觀以為所乘，大空、無相、無願解脫為所入門，無量功德眾所莊嚴，大寶花王眾所建立大宮殿中。
Once, the Bhagavan resided in a supremely luminous and splendid great palace, adorned with the seven precious gems, radiating a great light that illuminated all boundless worlds beyond measure. Countless exquisite ornaments were arranged throughout, its perfect circular expanse had no edges—its scale beyond conception—surpassing even the realms of the three worlds. It arose from virtuous roots that transcended worldly existence, and its nature was the most supreme, spontaneous, and pure consciousness.
This was where the Tathagata dwelt, where great Bodhisattvas gathered like clouds. Countless devas, nagas, yaksas, gandharvas, asuras, garudas, kinnaras, mahoragas, humans, and non-humans always attended and followed. It was sustained by the joy and bliss of the vast flavor of the Dharma, bringing all beneficial aims to sentient beings, extinguishing all afflictions, calamities, entanglements, and defilements. It was far removed from all demons, surpassing all ornaments, standing as the very foundation of the Tathagata's adornments. Great mindfulness, wisdom, and conduct served as its pathways; great calm abiding and sublime insight were its vehicles; the great liberations of emptiness, signlessness, and wishlessness were its gateways. Adorned with countless qualities and established by the great jeweled king of flowers—this was the great palace.
是薄伽梵最清淨覺，不二現行，趣無相法。住於佛住逮得一切佛平等性，到無障處，不可轉法，所行無礙，其所成立不可思議。遊於三世平等法性，其身流布一切世界，於一切法智無疑滯，於一切行成就大覺，於諸法智無有疑惑，凡所現身不可分別，一切菩薩正所求智，得佛無二住勝彼岸，不相間雜。如來解脫妙智究竟，證無中邊佛地平等，極於法界，盡虛空性窮未來際。
This is the Bhagavan’s most pure enlightenment, a direct experience beyond duality, moving toward the formless truth. He abides in the Buddha’s dwelling, having attained equality with all Buddhas, reached the unobstructed realm, and mastered the irreversible Dharma. His actions are without hindrance, and what he establishes is inconceivable. He wanders through the three times with the nature of equality, his body pervading all worlds. In all dharmas, his wisdom is without hesitation or stagnation. In all actions, he has achieved great awakening. In all wisdom, he has no doubt. Whatever form he manifests cannot be distinguished. He possesses the true wisdom sought by all Bodhisattvas, has attained the supreme shore of the Buddha’s non-duality, free from all mixing. He has perfected the Tathagata’s liberation and subtle wisdom, realized the equality of the Buddha-realm without center or edge, reached the ultimate Dharma-realm, exhausted the nature of space, and extends to the limits of the future.
與無量大聲聞眾俱，一切調順，皆是佛子，心善解脫，慧善解脫，戒善清淨，趣求法樂；多聞、聞持，其聞積集；善思所思，善說所說，善作所作；捷慧、速慧、利慧、出慧、勝決擇慧、大慧、廣慧、及無等慧，慧寶成就；具足三明，逮得第一現法樂住；大淨福田，威儀寂靜，無不圓滿；大忍柔和，成就無減，已善奉行如來聖教。
He was accompanied by a great assembly of voice-hearers, limitless in number. All were perfectly tamed, all were sons of the Buddha. Their minds were well liberated, their wisdom well liberated, and their moral discipline was pure and wholesome. They delighted in seeking the joy of the Dharma. They were learned, retained what they heard, and accumulated much knowledge through listening. They thought well on what was to be thought, spoke well on what was to be spoken, and did well on what was to be done. They possessed keen wisdom, swift wisdom, sharp wisdom, transcendent wisdom, supreme discerning wisdom, great wisdom, vast wisdom, and unequaled wisdom—they had attained the jewel of wisdom. They were endowed with the three clear understandings and had realized the foremost blissful abiding in the present life. They were a great pure field of merit, their demeanor serene and perfect in every way. They were greatly patient and gentle, possessing virtues that never diminished, and had already well practiced the sacred teachings of the Tathagata.
復有無量菩薩摩訶薩，從種種佛土而來集會。皆住大乘，遊大乘法，於諸眾生其心平等，離諸分別及不分別種種分別，摧伏一切眾魔怨敵，遠離一切聲聞、獨覺所有作意，廣大法味喜樂所持，超五怖畏，一向趣入不退轉地，息一切眾生一切苦惱所逼迫地，而現在前。其名曰：解甚深義密意菩薩摩訶薩、如理請問菩薩摩訶薩、法涌菩薩摩訶薩、善清淨慧菩薩摩訶薩、廣慧菩薩摩訶薩、德本菩薩摩訶薩、勝義生菩薩摩訶薩、觀自在菩薩摩訶薩、慈氏菩薩摩訶薩、曼殊室利菩薩摩訶薩等，而為上首。
Also present were countless Great Bodhisattvas, who had gathered from various Buddha-lands. They all abided in the Great Vehicle, practiced the Great Vehicle, and regarded all beings with an equal mind. They had transcended all discrimination, non-discrimination, and various forms of differentiation. They had conquered all demonic foes and enemies, and had completely abandoned all intentions that lead to the paths of Hearers or Solitary Realizers. Sustained by the joy of the vast flavor of the Dharma, they had surpassed the five fears and were decisively advancing toward the stage of non-retrogression. They had calmed all the suffering and affliction that oppress beings, and stood right before them.
Their names were: the Bodhisattva Mahāsattva "Penetrator of Profound Meaning and Secret Intention," the Bodhisattva Mahāsattva "Inquirer According to Principle," the Bodhisattva Mahāsattva "Dharmodgata," the Bodhisattva Mahāsattva "Excellent Pure Wisdom," the Bodhisattva Mahāsattva "Vast Wisdom," the Bodhisattva Mahāsattva "Root of Virtue," the Bodhisattva Mahāsattva "Producer of Ultimate Meaning," the Bodhisattva Mahāsattva Avalokiteśvara, the Bodhisattva Mahāsattva Maitreya, the Bodhisattva Mahāsattva Mañjuśrī, and others as their leaders.
