出三藏記集 9.21

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [9.21](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2145.9.21)

又菩薩地持經八卷。有二十七品。亦分三段。第一段十八品。第二段四品。第三段五品。是晉安帝世。曇摩懺。於西涼州譯出。經首禮敬三寶。無如是我聞。似撰集佛語文中不出有異名。而今此本或題云菩薩戒經。或題云菩薩地經。與三藏所出菩薩善戒經。二文雖異五名相涉。故同一記。又此二經明義相類。根本似是一經。異國人出。故成別部也。並次第明六度。品名多同。製辭各異。祐見菩薩地經一本。其第四卷第十戒品。乃是地持經中戒品。又少第九施品。當是曝曬誤雜。後人不悉。便爾傳寫。其本脫多恐方亂惑。若細尋內題。了然可見。若有菩薩地經闕無第九施品者。即是誤本也。

> Furthermore, the Bodhisattvabhūmi-dhāra-sūtra (Pusa dichi jing) has eight rolls and twenty-seven chapters, and is likewise divided into three sections: the first section has eighteen chapters, the second section has four chapters, and the third section has five chapters. It was translated in Western Liangzhou by Dharmakṣema during the reign of Emperor An of the Jin. At the beginning of the sūtra, there is a homage to the Three Jewels, without 'Thus have I heard,' resembling a compilation of the Buddha's words; no different names are mentioned in the text. Today, this version is sometimes entitled Bodhisattva Precepts Sūtra (Pusa jie jing), and sometimes entitled Bodhisattva Stages Sūtra (Pusa di jing). Although its text differs from the Bodhisattva Good Precepts Sūtra produced by the Tripiṭaka Master, they share five names; hence they are recorded together. Moreover, the doctrines explained in these two scriptures are similar, and at the root they seem to be one scripture; because people from different countries produced them, they became distinct works. Both explain the six perfections in sequence; their chapter titles are mostly identical, though the phrasing differs. I, Sengyou, have seen one copy of the Bodhisattva-bhūmi-sūtra whose Chapter on Precepts (tenth chapter of the fourth roll) was actually the Chapter on Precepts from the Bodhisattvabhūmi-dhāra-sūtra, and it also lacked the ninth Chapter on Giving. This was surely due to confusion during sun-drying; later people did not realize this and simply transmitted and copied it. Its missing portions are numerous, and I fear this will bring confusion. If one carefully examines the internal titles, it becomes clearly visible. If there is a copy of the Bodhisattva-bhūmi-sūtra that lacks the ninth Chapter on Giving, it is precisely this erroneous copy.
