總持身品第六
Chapter 6: The Body of Total Retention
佛語龍王：「菩薩已住無盡藏，而以文字求於佛道。總持文字，力也；歸趣文字，身也；滅盡像，色也；入法門，頂也；觀瞻，額也；慧眼，眼也；天耳，耳也；說名字，鼻也；制亂意眉間，闕庭也；攝一切心，面也；解喻一切可眾生心，舌根也；調定其心，齒也；師子觀奮迅，髭也；藏匿空語，脣也；觀一切法，咽也；勉出眾生令其歡悅，肩也；端正所謂，脾也；察諸法等，腹也；入於深門，臍也；入左右路，掌也；合會諸法，臂也；十善之句為善救護，指也；清淨法銅，爪也；來致虛無之念，脇也；次第講法，脊也；說不侵時無所為度，尻也；具足寂觀，髕也；趣審諦法，膝也；曉知一切，踹也；心意寂然，足趺也；遊到十方，足心也；次第說諦，步也；知羞慚恥，衣也；法鬘莊嚴，傅飾也；法華若干，臥具也；說種種法，枕也；不瞋不諍，塗香也；所行如應無所不了，雜香也；入深戒，說香也；於諸法自在，眷屬也；嗟歎梵跡，則親友也；得安隱眾，知識也；斷諸結縛開化眾人，則親暱也；曉了諸事，家室也；其心清淨，母也；一切巧便無所依信，慧父也；諸通慧心，從等也；施度無極，漿食也；戒度無極，泰安也；忍度無極，莊嚴也；精進度無極，作善剋辦也；一心度無極，飽滿也；智度無極，隨時順也；善權度無極，二句合義也；道品身支，黨也。講說至誠，未曾侵欺，一切世間尊豪自由，於法自恣。」
The Buddha spoke to the Dragon King: "A bodhisattva who has already entered the treasury of the inexhaustible seeks Buddhahood through words and letters. Mastery of words is strength; the meaning behind words is the body; the fading of appearances is form; entering the Dharma-gate is the crown; seeing clearly is the forehead; the eye of wisdom is the eye; the divine ear is the ear; naming things is the nose; calming stray thoughts is the space between the brows; gathering all thoughts is the face; explaining things to satisfy all beings' minds is the tongue; calming and settling the mind is the teeth; the lion's confident glance is the whiskers; concealing idle talk is the lips; perceiving all things is the throat; lifting beings up and bringing them joy is the shoulders; proper speech is the chest; observing that all things are equal is the belly; entering the profound gate is the navel; entering the pathways of left and right is the palms; uniting all things is the arms; the phrases of the ten good actions, protecting and saving, are the fingers; the pure Dharma-bell is the nails; bringing forth thoughts of emptiness is the ribs; teaching the Dharma in proper sequence is the spine; speaking without harming and acting without attachment is the hips; complete tranquil observation is the knees; approaching truth with care is the knees; understanding everything is the calves; the mind at peace is the feet; traveling to the ten directions is the soles; teaching truths in order is the steps; knowing shame and conscience is the clothing; adorned with garlands of Dharma is the decoration; the many blossoms of the Dharma are the bedding; explaining various teachings is the pillow; not being angry or contentious is the incense; acting appropriately and understanding all is the mixed fragrance; entering the profound precepts is the fragrant speech; being free in all things is the company; praising noble conduct is friendship; finding a peaceful assembly is true knowledge; cutting through all bonds and liberating others is intimacy; understanding all matters is the household; a pure mind is the mother; all skillful means without reliance is the wise father; the mind of universal wisdom is the companion; the perfection of giving is food and drink; the perfection of ethics is peace; the perfection of patience is adornment; the perfection of diligence is accomplishing good deeds; the perfection of meditation is fullness; the perfection of wisdom is adapting to the moment; the perfection of skillful means is joining words with meaning; the limbs of the path are the community. Speaking with sincerity, never deceiving, all the honorable and free ones of the world, at ease within the Dharma."
佛語龍王：「是為無盡之藏總持，無色像身也！其有菩薩，於是總持樂法之樂。譬如國王在於中宮；如天帝釋在須彌頂，威神巍巍；如梵天尊豪自在；如燕居阿須輪，難可制持；如海無邊，功德超殊；如寶大山，天所娛樂；如父母獨有一子，愛重無極；如月盛滿，眾星獨明，莫不稽首；如世尊為天、世人奮大光明；如日初出，光曜柔和；如孔雀在林樹間放妙音聲；如師子在巖窟中服美飲食；如龍心意調和，以時澍雨；如轉輪王大法化國；如眾龍舞，動發雷電；如龍王已得自在，降大法雨；如天帝釋撫化一切諸外異道；如勇猛將摧伏嚴敵，除諸勞垢，降納眾魔；如水消火；如風靡草，心計如地，開化明者，順化眾生；如火焚草，皆忍苦樂；如乳母養長者子，療治眾病，持心堅強，具眾人願；如意珠王總持諸寶。」
佛語龍王：「其有菩薩住無盡之藏總持門者，則可謂入佛之道場。如大海含受眾寶、諸珍苑府，無盡之藏總持如是，包弘諸法道寶篋藏，如無數香篋令無量人恣意所欲。菩薩已住無盡之藏總持門者，以真妙言開化一切，令各得所。是總持者，入一切聲。此土名道心者，彼無盡世界佛一寶蓋如來國曰目前；此名諸通慧者，彼超得度世界導龍如來佛國曰普達；此名施度無極者，彼寂定世界吉祥如來佛國曰精氣；此名戒度無極者，彼無憂世界離憂如來佛國曰多安；此名忍度無極者，彼無垢世界離垢如來佛國曰無盡句；此名進度無極者，彼普明世界無垢光如來佛國曰上度；此名專度無極者，彼道御世界堅要如來佛國曰寂行；此名智度無極者，彼陰雨世界雨王如來佛國曰清淨；此名善權方便者，彼尊調世界離垢辟如來佛國曰隨習俗宜；此名慈哀喜護者，彼豐盛世界吉祥義如來佛國曰憐傷仁攝彼我二寂；此名苦習盡道者，彼無悅世界首寂如來佛國曰本原由根根盡歸本；此名四意止者，他方世界曰無止；此名四意斷者，彼曰上勝；此名神足者，彼曰超步；此名五根者，彼曰悅原；此名五力，彼曰堅強；此名覺意，彼曰無冥；此名八由，彼曰所度；此名分別，彼曰目見；此名護仰，彼曰隨順；此名法施，彼曰善攝；此名寂觀，彼曰定察；此名脫門，彼曰離癡；此名功德，彼曰嚴辦；此名智慧，彼曰了便；此名棄家，彼曰修行；此名具戒，彼曰無犯；此名安隱無為，彼曰寂滅度；此名曰歎佛無量，彼曰佛曰佛眼放光。」

佛語龍王：「計諸佛國音聲言訓若干種教，菩薩若逮無盡之藏，皆知一切諸佛之土所說音聲文字所誨。佛以一劫若過一劫，讚歎有為言說章句之教十方所出，不能究竟諸佛國土音聲義也。」
佛說是無盡之藏總持門時，六萬菩薩皆得總持，八千菩薩得不起法忍，三萬二千人皆發無上正真道意。
