念佛三昧寶王論 1.30

1.30

「『萎華中諸佛，糞穢中真金，
地中珍寶藏，諸果子中牙，
朽故弊壞衣，纏裹真金像，
貧賤醜陋女，懷轉輪聖王，
焦黑泥模中，有上妙寶像。
眾生貪瞋癡，妄想煩惱等，
塵勞諸境中，皆有如來藏。
下至阿鼻獄，皆有如來身，
真如清淨法，名為如來體。』

'Buddhas within withered flowers,
Pure gold within excrement and filth,
A treasury of precious gems within the earth,
A sprout within a fruit seed,
Rotten and worn-out ragged clothes
Wrapping around a pure gold image,
An impoverished and ugly woman
Pregnant with a wheel-turning sage king,
Within a charred and black clay mould
Resides a supreme and wondrous precious image.
In sentient beings' greed, anger, ignorance,
Delusive thoughts, afflictions, and the like,
Amid all realms of toil and defilement,
All possess the tathāgatagarbha.
Down even to the Avīci Hell,
All possess the Tathāgata's body;
The pure dharma of True Suchness
Is named the Tathāgata's essence.'
