- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [3.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.384.3.3)

爾時，世尊告彌勒菩薩：「今此座中無有異類，純一生補處。今當說識、想、受，無識、無想、無受。是時菩薩云何說識、想、受？於是菩薩分別說識、想、受，識非想非受，受非識非想，想非受非識。想非過去、非未來、非現在，受非過去、非未來、非現在，識非過去、非未來、非現在；非識非過去、非未來、非現在，非想非過去、非未來、非現在，非受非過去、非未來、非現在。云何識非過去、未來、現在？於是菩薩入無閡定，化受識眾生，從有住地至無住地。此識非過去、非未來、非現在。復次，菩薩摩訶薩化想眾生，從住地至無住地。菩薩化受眾生，從住地至無住地。」

> Then the Bhagavat said to Maitreya Bodhisattva: "Within this assembly now there are no disparate types; all are purely \[bodhisattvas\] bound to one more birth (ekajātipratibaddha). Now consciousness (vijñāna), ideation (saṃjñā), and sensation (vedanā)—and absence of consciousness, absence of ideation, absence of sensation—shall be taught. At this time, how does a bodhisattva speak of consciousness, ideation, and sensation? Here the bodhisattva discriminates and speaks of consciousness, ideation, and sensation: consciousness is neither ideation nor sensation; sensation is neither consciousness nor ideation; ideation is neither sensation nor consciousness. Ideation is not past, not future, and not present; sensation is not past, not future, and not present; consciousness is not past, not future, and not present. Non-consciousness is not past, not future, and not present; non-ideation is not past, not future, and not present; non-sensation is not past, not future, and not present. How is consciousness not past, future, or present? Here the bodhisattva enters the unobstructed samādhi and transforms beings who perceive consciousness, leading them from the stage of abiding to the stage of non-abiding. This consciousness is not past, not future, and not present. Furthermore, the bodhisattva-mahāsattva transforms beings who perceive ideation, leading them from the stage of abiding to the stage of non-abiding. The bodhisattva transforms beings who perceive sensation, leading them from the stage of abiding to the stage of non-abiding."
