注維摩詰經 10.54

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [10.54](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.10.54)

什曰：總持有無量，實相即總持之一。若經中說實相，實相即是印。以實相印封此經，則為深經也。復次印，梵本言「相」，實相也。以實相為經，標相也。肇曰：菩薩法藏之所攝，故非小乘之寶。總持印之所印，固非域中之道。總持所印，所印必真；法藏所攝，所攝必寶。既藏以法藏、印以總持，豈是常人所能開發？以明法寶深固，難可闚𨵦也。生曰：陀羅尼者，持也。若持實相不失，於諸天人魔梵之中不復畏有不通之義。譬若生印為信，關津諸禁莫能呵留。果是印持，所印之經則無有閡。

> \[Kumāra\]jīva says: Dhāraṇīs are immeasurable; the true mark is one among dhāraṇīs. When the true mark is preached in a sūtra, the true mark is itself the seal. Sealing this sūtra with the seal of the true mark makes it a profound sūtra. Furthermore, for 'seal' (印), the Sanskrit text says 'mark' (lakṣaṇa), meaning the true mark. Taking the true mark as the sūtra is to label its mark. \[Seng\]zhao says: Subsumed under the bodhisattva Dharma treasury, it is therefore not the treasure of the Hīnayāna. Sealed by the dhāraṇī seal, it is certainly not a worldly path. What is sealed by the dhāraṇī must be true; what is subsumed by the Dharma treasury must be precious. Since it is treasured within the Dharma treasury and sealed with the dhāraṇī, how could ordinary people unlock it? This shows that the Dharma treasure is profound and solid, difficult to peer into. \[Dao\]sheng says: 'Dhāraṇī' means to hold. If one holds the true mark without losing it, among all devas, humans, māras, and Brahmās, one will no longer fear having an uncomprehended meaning. Just as a royal seal serves as credentials so that passes, fords, and all prohibitions cannot bar or detain one: if it is genuinely sealed and held, the sūtra thus sealed will have no obstructions.
