菩薩從兜術天降神母胎說廣普經 3.27

3.27

「復次，菩薩摩訶薩，從忉利天生十方剎，不因濕生、卵生、化生、胎生，教化眾生。此菩薩等成就無記根，所化眾生亦成無記根。何者是？阿閦佛境界是。或有菩薩摩訶薩，從忍世界生北方光影佛土，成就有記無記根，教化眾生皆成就有記無記根，欲樂世界妙光佛土眾生是也。或有菩薩摩訶薩，從初發意乃至成佛，執心一向無若干想無瞋無怒，願樂欲生無量壽佛國。一切眾生其生彼者，四部眾比丘、比丘尼、優婆塞、優婆夷，皆同一金色。西方去此閻浮提十二億那由他，有懈慢界，國土快樂作倡伎樂，衣被服飾香花莊嚴七寶轉關床，舉目東視寶床隨轉，北視、西視、南視亦如是轉。前後發意眾生，欲生阿彌陀佛國者，皆染著懈慢國土，不能前進生阿彌陀佛國。億千萬眾，時有一人能生阿彌陀佛國。何以故？皆由懈慢執心不牢固。斯等眾生自不殺生，亦教他不殺，有此福報生無量壽國。或有菩薩摩訶薩，具足六度施、戒、忍、精進、禪定、解脫智慧，生南方踊躍佛剎，去此閻浮提一億佛國，彼眾生等無有癡愛婬欲之想。何以故？皆從欲界斷三十六種婬欲行滅，種性成就所行清淨，如日光明無有塵翳。彼土眾生行十三苦行。云何十三？晝夜三時不失時節，經行坐禪，或在樹下，或在塚間，或在空地，或在巖石無人之處，或依泉源，或時一食，或不用食，法服齊整不失威儀，或時說法或不說法，周旋經行知足知滿，所可說法，少欲真道多欲非道，息心定意，解空無想不願之法，是謂踊躍世界菩薩所行。彼土眾生純一乘學，無有羅漢、辟支佛乘，相好具足稱譽正法，解空無我。」

“Furthermore, bodhisattva-mahāsattvas are born from Trāyastriṃśa Heaven into the lands of the ten directions, not relying on moisture-born, egg-born, apparitional, or womb-born birth to teach and transform sentient beings. These bodhisattvas accomplish indeterminate roots, and the sentient beings they transform also accomplish indeterminate roots. Which is this? It is the realm of Akṣobhya Buddha. Or there are bodhisattva-mahāsattvas who are born from the Sahā World into the Light-Shadow Buddha-land in the north, accomplishing determinate and indeterminate roots, teaching and transforming sentient beings so that they all accomplish determinate and indeterminate roots; these are the sentient beings of the Wonderful Light Buddha-land in the World of Desired Pleasures. Or there are bodhisattva-mahāsattvas who, from their initial resolve up to attaining Buddhahood, keep their minds single-pointed without diverse thoughts, free from anger and wrath, aspiring and wishing to be born in the land of Amitāyus Buddha. All the sentient beings who are born there—the fourfold assembly of monks, nuns, upāsakas, and upāsikās—are all of the same golden color. Twelve hundred million nayutas west of this Jambudvīpa, there is the Realm of Indolence. The land is joyful, where performers make music, garments and adornments with incense and flowers adorn revolving beds of the seven treasures; when one raises the eyes to look east, the jeweled bed turns accordingly, and when looking north, west, or south, it also turns likewise. Sentient beings who have previously or subsequently made the resolve, wishing to be born in the land of Amitābha Buddha, all become attached to the land of indolence, unable to advance to be born in the land of Amitābha Buddha. Among hundreds of millions of beings, only once in a while is there one person able to be born in the land of Amitābha Buddha. Why is this? It is entirely due to indolence and the mind not being firmly held. Such sentient beings do not kill living beings themselves, and also teach others not to kill; through this karmic reward, they are born in the land of Amitāyus. Or there are bodhisattva-mahāsattvas who are complete in the six perfections—giving, morality, forbearance, diligence, meditation, and liberating wisdom—and are born in the southern Leaping Buddha-land, one hundred million Buddha-lands away from this Jambudvīpa. Those sentient beings are without thoughts of foolish attachment or lustful desire. Why is this? Because from the desire realm they have severed and eliminated thirty-six kinds of lustful conduct; their lineage is perfected and their practice is pure, like the sunlight without any dust or veil. The sentient beings of that land practice the thirteen ascetic practices (dhūtas). What are the thirteen? Three times each during day and night, without losing the proper times, walking and sitting in meditation, whether under trees, among graves, in open spaces, on rocks in uninhabited places, or by water springs; sometimes taking a single meal, or not taking food; their Dharma robes neat and orderly, without losing deportment; sometimes preaching the Dharma, or not preaching the Dharma; walking about, content and satisfied. In whatever Dharma they preach, having few desires is the true Way and having many desires is not the Way; calming the mind and concentrating the thoughts, they understand the dharmas of emptiness, signlessness, and wishlessness. Such are the practices of the bodhisattvas in the Leaping World. The sentient beings of that land study purely the One Vehicle, without the vehicles of the arhat or pratyekabuddha; endowed with the marks and signs, they praise the true Dharma and understand emptiness and selflessness.”
