釋摩訶衍論 10.20

10.20

歡喜大士至心勸，無量佛子眾海中，
我已超毛頭三角，過於生花之四根。
第一無數粗滿訖，第二僧祇始入無，
如宜汝等諸佛子，以於左右之兩手，
捧於本釋之明鏡，臨七識散慮之面，
見六塵境界之垢，洗法執人我之咎。
汝等佛子若如是，法身應化之三身，
如舒伊字圓現前，常樂我淨之四德，
如入達池具出生。我從四王自在處，
下入大海龍宮殿，隨分窺諸契經海，
總有一百洛叉數。如是諸經真實法，
無量無邊差別義，摩訶衍論立義中，
該攝安立具足說。有善男子善女人，
若自手捧斯論卷，名捧百洛叉經者，
若自口經誦本分，名誦百洛叉經者，
此人所得之功德，十方世界微塵數，
諸佛及大菩薩眾，各出微塵數舌相，
如是微塵數劫中，不息稱說不能盡；
何況觀察其義理，思惟文下之所詮。
有善男子善女人，生不信心謗斯論，
此人所得之罪業，十方世界微塵數，
諸佛及大菩薩眾，各出微塵數舌相，
如是微塵數劫中，不息說過不能盡，
是人往罪滅無所，一切諸佛不能救。
是故行者歸本原，當依斯論應修行，
實不可生不信心，誹謗甚深大乘教；
當願此勸遠流布，遍於重重不說剎。

The Great Being of Joy wholeheartedly exhorts
Amidst the ocean-like assembly of immeasurable sons of the Buddha:
I have already transcended the three horns at the hair's tip,
And surpassed the four roots of producing flowers.
The coarse fulfillment of the first incalculable period has ended,
And the second asaṃkhyeya has just entered the non-existent.
As appropriate, all you sons of the Buddha,
With both of your left and right hands,
Hold up the bright mirror of root and commentary
To face the countenance of the seven consciousnesses' scattered thoughts,
See the defilements of the sense-realms of the six dusts,
And wash away the faults of attachment to dharmas and personal ātman.
If you sons of the Buddha act like this,
The three bodies—the dharmakāya and the response and transformation bodies—
Like the unfolding of the letter 'I', will appear perfectly present before you;
The four virtues of permanence, bliss, self, and purity,
Like entering Lake Da, will completely arise.
From the sovereign place of the Four Kings,
I descended into the palace of the dragons in the great ocean,
And, according to my portion, glimpsed the ocean of various sūtras,
Totaling one hundred lakṣas in number.
The true and real Dharmas of such sūtras
And the immeasurable and boundless differentiated meanings
Have, within the section on Establishing the Meaning of the Treatise on the Mahāyāna,
Been encompassed, established, and fully explained.
If there is a good man or good woman
Who with their own hands holds this treatise scroll,
They are named one who holds one hundred lakṣas of sūtras;
If with their own mouths they chant the root section,
They are named one who chants one hundred lakṣas of sūtras.
The merit obtained by this person—
If the Buddhas and great bodhisattva assemblies,
Numerous as the dust motes of the worlds in the ten directions,
Each put out tongue-marks numerous as dust motes,
And throughout kalpas numerous as such dust motes
Unceasingly praised it, they could not exhaust it;
How much more so if one contemplates its meanings and principles
And reflects on what is signified beneath the text!
If there is a good man or good woman
Who produces a mind of non-faith and slanders this treatise,
The sinful karma obtained by this person—
Even if the Buddhas and great bodhisattva assemblies,
Numerous as the dust motes of the worlds in the ten directions,
Each put out tongue-marks numerous as dust motes,
And throughout kalpas numerous as such dust motes
Unceasingly spoke of the faults, they could not exhaust it;
For this person, past sins will have no place to be eradicated,
And all the Buddhas will not be able to save them.
Therefore, practitioners should return to the original source,
And ought to practice in reliance on this treatise;
Truly, one must not generate an unfaithful mind
And slander the profound Mahāyāna teaching.
May this exhortation be widely disseminated far away,
Pervading through and through the unspeakable realms.
