大般若波羅蜜多經般若理趣分述讚 3.17

3.17

讚曰：此即歎德。然準經中有十法行，此中但說有六法行：一聞、二信解、三受持、四讀、五誦、六修習。始從今日於十法行初首行時，乃至未來坐菩提座成佛已來，雖造一切極重惡業，謂見中邪見、業中意業、逆中破和合僧等雖皆具造，由悟解故不為被染，而能超越一切惡趣。由聞經行等大威神力，此諸惡業作不增長，故不墮於三惡道等，乃至速證無上菩提。計此功德應與前同，但為別讚經之勝用故各別說。

The Praise states: This is the praise of virtue. In accordance with the sūtras there are ten dharma-practices, but here only six dharma-practices are spoken of: first, hearing; second, faithful understanding; third, upholding; fourth, reading; fifth, reciting; and sixth, cultivating. From this day forward, when first embarking on the ten dharma-practices, until in the future sitting on the bodhi-seat and attaining buddhahood, even if one commits all extremely grave evil karma—meaning wrong view among views, mental action among karmas, and causing a schism in the Sangha among the cardinal sins, though committing them all—by virtue of understanding, one will not be defiled by them, and will be able to transcend all unfortunate destinies. By the great spiritual authority of hearing the sūtra, practicing, and so forth, these evil karmas, once done, do not increase, so one does not fall into the three unfortunate destinies and so forth, and will swiftly realize unsurpassed bodhi. Calculating this merit, it should be the same as before, but to separately praise the superior function of the sūtra, they are expounded distinctly.
