新華嚴經論 40.6

40.6

Fourth, Sarvamitra said: 'Here there is a youth named Shilpābhijña (Well-Knowing the Arts) who is learning the bodhisattva's wisdom of phonemes (akṣaramukha).' This clarifies that Sarvamitra is the teacher and the youth is the student, with their names established according to the teachings. This is just like disciples of Confucius in this land, such as Yan Hui and his kind. Sudhana paid homage and stated his request. The youth Shilpābhijña said: 'I have attained the bodhisattva liberation named Well-Knowing the Arts. I constantly chant and uphold this syllabary. When chanting the letter A—which here means non-existence—I enter the prajñāpāramitā gate named the Bodhisattva's Mighty Power Entering the Non-Differentiated Realm, which clearly penetrates the gate of the emptiness of all dharmas. It is the bodhisattva's mighty power that cuts off all obstructions and enters unproduced wisdom, pervading the dharmadhātu and the realm of sentient beings. When chanting the letter Da, I enter the prajñāpāramitā gate named the Boundless Differentiation Gate, which clarifies that all existing things are discriminating wisdom and Samantabhadra's practices, universally knowing the methods, practices, understandings, and appropriate responses among sentient beings in the three realms and six destinies. In this way, there are forty-two prajñāpāramitā gates in all as the head, named the syllabary, entering immeasurable and countless prajñāpāramitā gates.' This is clear in the text itself.
