菩薩從兜術天降神母胎說廣普經 3.24

3.24

佛告諸來會菩薩摩訶薩：「學、無學及四部眾，比丘、比丘尼、優婆塞、優婆夷，一切眾生所可供養。或有眾生，見地、薄地、淨地、如來地、辟支佛地、不退轉地、道場地、說法地，由此八地成無上等正覺。云何見地？菩薩發意趣向阿耨多羅三藐三菩提。復有菩薩摩訶薩，從初發意乃至坐道樹，自伏其心欲降伏諸魔，即於坐上入三昧定。其三昧者：去嫉妬三昧，心勝三昧，秘藏三昧，除癡三昧，威神伏三昧，如諸佛世尊無言教三昧，示現變化三昧。是時弊魔波旬來擾佛者，非自己力所能來至，皆是如來威神之所感致。所以者何？欲現世法為劣，第一義勝。何以故？如弊魔波旬起怒害心聲響震地，佛以忍三昧不動不搖，使無央數弊魔眾等顛倒墮地，猶如蛄蟥蟻子及蠅不能得動。弊魔波旬亦復如是，若魔來者不能動我一毛。爾時，世尊即以威神入三昧定，感動一佛境界滿中弊魔，令此諸魔惡聲流布。拘曇沙門，執心懦弱無丈夫意，在此大畏之處欲求佛道。」

The Buddha told the bodhisattva-mahāsattvas who had assembled: “Those in training, those beyond training, and the fourfold assembly—monks, nuns, upāsakas, and upāsikās—are all worthy of being venerated by all sentient beings. Some sentient beings attain unexcelled, complete, and perfect awakening by means of these eight stages: the stage of seeing, the stage of thinning, the stage of purity, the stage of the Tathāgata, the stage of the pratyekabuddha, the stage of non-retrogression, the stage of the bodhimanda, and the stage of expounding the Dharma. What is the stage of seeing? It is when a bodhisattva gives rise to the aspiration and sets out toward anuttarā-samyak-saṃbodhi. Furthermore, there are bodhisattva-mahāsattvas who, from their initial resolve up to sitting beneath the tree of awakening, subdue their own minds wishing to overcome all māras, immediately entering samādhi while upon the seat. Those samādhis are: the samādhi that removes jealousy, the samādhi of the mind victorious, the samādhi of the secret treasury, the samādhi that eradicates delusion, the samādhi that subdues through majesty, the samādhi without verbal teaching like that of all Buddhas and Bhagavats, and the samādhi of manifesting transformations. At that time, when the evil Māra Pāpīyas came to disturb the Buddha, he was not able to come by his own power; it was entirely evoked through the Tathāgata's majestic power. Why is this? Because he wished to show that worldly dharmas are inferior, while the ultimate truth is superior. Why is this? Just as when the evil Māra Pāpīyas gave rise to a furious and harmful mind and his voice shook the earth, the Buddha, by means of the samādhi of forbearance, remained unmoved and unshaken, causing the countless host of evil māras to fall topsy-turvy to the ground, just like leeches, ants, and flies unable to move. Evil Māra Pāpīyas was also like this: when the māra came, he could not move a single hair of mine. At that time, the Bhagavat immediately entered samādhi through his majestic power, moving an entire Buddha-realm to become filled with evil māras, causing these māras to spread evil voices: ‘The śramaṇa Gautama is weak-willed and lacks the spirit of a great man; in this place of great terror, he wishes to seek the Buddha Way!’”
