佛說仁王般若波羅蜜經 1.14

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [1.14](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.245.1.14)

「大王！是經名味句，百佛千佛百千萬佛說名味句。於恒河沙三千大千國土中，盛無量七寶施三千大千國中眾生，皆得七賢四果，不如於此經中，起一念信，何況解一句者！句非句非非句故，般若非句，句非般若，般若亦非菩薩。何以故？十地三十生空故，始生、住生、終生不可得，地地中三生空故。亦非薩婆若，非摩訶衍，空故。

> "Great King! Regarding the names, phrases, and sentences of this sūtra, a hundred buddhas, a thousand buddhas, hundreds of thousands of myriads of buddhas have expounded these names, phrases, and sentences. If one were to fill three-thousand great thousand worlds as numerous as the sands of the Ganges with immeasurable seven treasures and give them as alms to the sentient beings in those three-thousand great thousand worlds, causing them all to attain the seven worthy stages and the four fruits, it would not equal giving rise to a single thought-moment of faith in this sūtra, much less understanding a single phrase! Because a phrase is not a phrase and not a non-phrase, prajñā is not a phrase, a phrase is not prajñā, and prajñā is also not a bodhisattva. Why is this? Because the thirty generations of the ten stages are empty, initial generation, abiding generation, and final generation are unattainable, since the three generations in stage after stage are empty. Nor is it sarvajñā, nor is it the Mahāyāna, because they are empty.
