金剛般若波羅蜜經略疏 2.19

2.19

佛言：「須菩提！於意云何？如恒河中所有沙，佛說是沙不？」須菩提言：「如是。世尊！如來說是沙。」佛言：「須菩提！於意云何！如一恒河中所有沙，有如是等恒河，是諸恒河所有沙數佛世界，如是世界寧為多不？」須菩提言：「彼世界甚多。世尊！」佛言：「須菩提！爾所世界中，所有眾生若干種心住，如來悉知。何以故？如來說諸心住皆為非心住，是名為心住。何以故？須菩提！過去心不可得、現在心不可得、未來心不可得。須菩提！於意云何？若有人以滿三千大千世界七寶持用布施，是善男子善女人以是因緣得福多不？」須菩提言：「如是。世尊！此人以是因緣得福甚多。」佛言：「如是如是。須菩提！彼善男子善女人以是因緣得福德聚多。須菩提！若福德聚有實，如來則不說福德聚福德聚。」

The Buddha said, "Subhūti, what do you think? Regarding the sand in the Ganges River, did the Buddha speak of it as sand?" Subhūti said, "So it is, World-Honored One. The Tathāgata spoke of it as sand." The Buddha said, "Subhūti, what do you think? If there were as many Ganges Rivers as there are sands in one Ganges River, and there were Buddha worlds numbering as many as the sands in all those Ganges Rivers, would those worlds be many?" Subhūti said, "Those worlds would be very many, World-Honored One." The Buddha said, "Subhūti, all the various abidings of mind of the sentient beings in that many worlds, the Tathāgata fully knows. Why is this? The Tathāgata speaks of all abidings of mind as non-abidings of mind; therefore they are called abidings of mind. Why is this? Subhūti, past mind cannot be apprehended, present mind cannot be apprehended, and future mind cannot be apprehended. Subhūti, what do you think? If someone filled the great trichiliocosm with the seven treasures and gave them in charity, would that good man or good woman obtain much merit on account of this?" Subhūti said, "So it is, World-Honored One. This person would obtain very much merit on account of this." The Buddha said, "So it is, so it is. Subhūti, that good man or good woman would obtain a great heap of merit on account of this. Subhūti, if the heap of merit had real existence, the Tathāgata would not speak of a heap of merit, a heap of merit."
