The Awakening of Mahāvairocana 1.29

1.29

爾時住無戲論執金剛白佛言：「世尊！願說三世無礙智戒。若菩薩住此者，令諸佛菩薩皆歡喜故。」如是說已，佛告住無戲論執金剛等言：「佛子諦聽。若族姓子住是戒者，以身語意合為一，不作一切諸法。云何為戒？所謂觀察捨於自身，奉獻諸佛菩薩。何以故？若捨自身則為捨彼三事。云何為三？謂身、語、意。是故族姓子！以受身語意戒得名菩薩。所以者何？離彼身語意故。菩薩摩訶薩應如是學。次於明日，以金剛薩埵加持自身，為世尊毘盧遮那作禮，應取淨瓶盛滿香水，持誦降三世真言而用加之。置初門外，用灑是諸人等。彼阿闍梨以淨香水授與令飲，彼心清淨故。」

Tomorrow you will gain birth in the Great Vehicle.’ [The ācārya] having instructed them in this manner, they may in

dreams while asleep See monks’ dwellings, groves all imposingly lovely, Halls of outstanding appearance, bright and spacious [multistory]

houses, Banners, parasols, maṇi-gems, jeweled swords, flowers pleasing

to the mind, Women in fresh white garments, upright and of beautiful complexion, Close relatives or good friends, men of divine physique, Herds of cows with abundant milk, sutra scrolls clean and unsoiled, Omniscient ones (i.e., buddhas), pratyekabuddhas, and multitudes

pleasant voices In midair saying, ‘How auspicious!’ or ‘You will be given the fruit

of your mind’s desire!’ Favorable signs such as these should be carefully differentiated, And those that differ from these should be known not to be good

dreams. Those [disciples] well-established in the precepts arise on the morrow,

and after they have told the teacher [the content of their dreams], The teacher expounds the Dharma with these phrases so as to exhort

the practitioners: ‘This path of the most excellent vow, the Mahayana of the great

mind— You now seek after it and will attain [the state of] Tathāgatas, Great dragons of spontaneous knowledge revered by the world like

stupas; It completely transcends existence and nonexistence and is unsullied,

like empty space.

The profundity of the dharmas is difficult to comprehend, not

contained by anything,

And removed from all false conceptions, for frivolous arguments

are originally nonexistent.

Its activities wondrous, without compare, and always based on the

two truths,

This vehicle is most excellent, and [henceforth] you will dwell in

this path.’”

Then the vajradhara Aprapañcavihārin said to the Buddha, “World-hon-

ored One, I beg you to explain the precept of knowledge unobstructed through-

out the three ages, for if a bodhisattva abides in it, it causes buddhas and

bodhisattvas all to rejoice.”

When he had finished speaking thus, the Buddha addressed the vajra-

dhara Aprapañcavihārin and the others, saying, “Son of the Buddha, listen
