西方合論 3.15

3.15

一、《寶積經》佛告父王：「一切眾生，皆即是佛，汝今當念西方世界阿彌陀佛，常勤精進，當得佛道。」王言：「一切眾生，云何是佛？」佛言：「一切決無生，無動搖、無取捨、無相貌、無自性，可於此佛法中安住其心，勿信於他。」爾時父王與七萬釋種，聞說是法，信解歡喜，悟無生忍。佛現微笑，而說偈曰：「釋種決定智，是故於佛法，決信心安住，人中命終已，得生安樂國，面奉阿彌陀，無畏成菩提。」又佛告彌勒，發十種心，往生極樂。何者為十？一者、於諸眾生，起於大慈，無損害心。二者、於諸眾生，起於大悲，無逼惱心。三者、於佛正法，不惜身命，樂守護心。四者、於一切法，發生勝忍，無執著心。五者、不貪利養，恭敬尊重，淨意樂心。六者、求佛種智，於一切時，無忘失心。七者、於諸眾生，尊重恭敬，無下劣心。八者、不著世論，於菩提分生決定心。九者、種諸善根，無有雜染清淨之心。十者、於諸如來，捨離諸相，起隨念心。是名菩薩發十種心。由是心故，當得往生。若人於此十心，隨成一心，樂欲往生彼佛世界，若不得生，無有是處。

First, the Ratnakūṭa-sūtra says the Buddha told his royal father: "All sentient beings are themselves Buddhas. You should now be mindful of Amitābha Buddha of the Western World and always be diligently energetic; then you will attain the Buddha path." The king said: "How are all sentient beings Buddhas?" The Buddha said: "All are definitively non-arising, without agitation, without grasping or discarding, without characteristic marks, and without svabhāva. You may settle your mind within this Buddhadharma and not place faith in anything else." At that time, the royal father along with seventy thousand Śākyas, having heard this teaching, faithfully understood it and rejoiced, awakening to the patience of non-arising. The Buddha smiled and spoke a gāthā, saying: / "The Śākyas have definitive wisdom; / therefore regarding the Buddhadharma, / their minds settle with definitive faith. / After life among humans ends, / they will be born in the Land of Peace and Joy, / directly serving Amitābha, / and fearlessly accomplishing bodhi." / Furthermore, the Buddha told Maitreya to generate ten kinds of minds to be reborn in Sukhāvatī. What are the ten? First, toward all sentient beings, to arouse great loving-kindness, without the thought of harming them. Second, toward all sentient beings, to arouse great compassion, without the thought of tormenting them. Third, toward the true Dharma of the Buddha, to not begrudge one's body and life, with the thought of delighting in protecting it. Fourth, toward all dharmas, to generate supreme patience, without the thought of grasping. Fifth, to not covet gains and offerings, but to revere and respect [the Dharma], with the thought of pure joy. Sixth, to seek the Buddha's omniscient knowledge, without the thought of ever forgetting it at any time. Seventh, toward all sentient beings, to show respect and reverence, without a mind of disparagement. Eighth, to not cling to worldly discourses, generating a definitive mind toward the factors of bodhi. Ninth, to plant all kuśalamūlas, with a mind that is pure and free of defilement. Tenth, toward all Tathāgatas, to abandon all marks, generating a mind of following in remembrance. These are called the ten kinds of minds generated by a bodhisattva. On account of these minds, one will attain rebirth. If a person accomplishes even a single one among these ten minds and aspires to be reborn in that Buddha's realm, if they do not attain rebirth, there is no such possibility.
