法苑珠林 84.33

84.33

又智度論云。三昧有二種。一佛。二菩薩。是諸菩薩於菩薩三昧中得自在。非佛三昧。如諸佛要集經中說云。文殊尸利欲見佛集不能得到。諸佛各還本處。文殊尸利到諸佛集處。有一女人。近彼佛坐入於三昧。文殊尸利入禮佛足已。白佛言。云何此女人得近佛坐。而我不得。佛告文殊尸利。汝覺此女人令從三昧起。汝自問之。文殊尸利即彈指覺之而不可覺。以大聲喚亦不可覺。捉手牽亦不可覺。又以神足動大千世界猶亦不覺。文殊尸利白佛言。世尊。我不能令覺。是時佛放大光明照下方世界。是中有一菩薩。名棄諸蓋。即時從下方出來到佛所。頭面禮佛足一面立。佛告棄諸蓋菩薩。汝覺此女人。即時彈指。此女從三昧起。文殊尸利白佛。以何因緣我動三千大千世界不能令此女起。棄諸蓋菩薩一彈指便從三昧起。佛告文殊尸利。汝因此女人初發菩提意。是女人因棄諸蓋菩薩初發菩提意。以是故。汝不能令覺。汝於諸佛三昧中功德未滿。是棄諸蓋菩薩於三昧中得自在。佛三昧中始少多入而未得自在故耳。

Furthermore, the Mahāprajñāpāramitā-śāstra says: 'There are two kinds of samādhis: first, that of buddhas; second, that of bodhisattvas. These bodhisattvas attain mastery in the bodhisattva samādhis, but not in the Buddha's samādhis. As stated in the Sarvabuddhaviṣayāvatāra-sūtra, Mañjuśrī wished to see the gathering of buddhas, but was unable to reach it, and the buddhas each returned to their original places. When Mañjuśrī reached the place where the buddhas had gathered, there was a woman seated near that Buddha who had entered samādhi. Mañjuśrī went in and bowed to the Buddha's feet, and then addressed the Buddha, saying, "Why is this woman able to sit near the Buddha while I cannot?" The Buddha told Mañjuśrī, "Wake this woman and cause her to arise from samādhi, and ask her yourself." Mañjuśrī then snapped his fingers to awaken her, but she could not be awakened; he called out in a loud voice, but she could not be awakened; he grasped her hand and pulled, but she could not be awakened; furthermore, he used supernormal power to shake the great chiliocosm, yet still she did not awaken. Mañjuśrī addressed the Buddha, saying, "World-Honoured One, I cannot cause her to awaken." At that time, the Buddha emitted a great ray of light illuminating the worlds below. In their midst was a bodhisattva named Sarvanīvaraṇaviṣkambhin, who immediately emerged from the lower direction and came to where the Buddha was. He bowed with his head to the Buddha's feet and stood to one side. The Buddha told Bodhisattva Sarvanīvaraṇaviṣkambhin, "Wake this woman." He immediately snapped his fingers, and this woman arose from samādhi. Mañjuśrī addressed the Buddha: "For what reason was I unable to make this woman arise though I shook the three-thousand-great-thousandfold world, whereas Bodhisattva Sarvanīvaraṇaviṣkambhin caused her to arise from samādhi with a single snap of his fingers?" The Buddha told Mañjuśrī: "You initially generated the intention for bodhi because of this woman; and this woman initially generated the intention for bodhi because of Bodhisattva Sarvanīvaraṇaviṣkambhin. For this reason, you could not cause her to awaken. Your merit in the samādhis of the buddhas is not yet complete. This Bodhisattva Sarvanīvaraṇaviṣkambhin has attained mastery in samādhi. You have only just begun to enter somewhat into the Buddha's samādhis and have not yet attained mastery, and that is why."'
