菩薩從兜術天降神母胎說廣普經 6.17

6.17

爾時，座中有菩薩，名曰遍光，神智通達住不退轉，弘誓之心不可沮壞。諸佛所稱非一非二，乃至恒河沙佛功德無量積行無畏，恒遊行無量諸佛世界。同學八人，一、名不邪見菩薩，二、名直意菩薩，三、名眾相菩薩，四、名屈伸菩薩，五、名解脫菩薩，六、名解縛菩薩，七、名印可菩薩，八、名得誓願菩薩，從無央數劫已住盡地得不退轉。爾時遍光菩薩白佛言：「云何菩薩摩訶薩入四種道無有前後，得成無上等正覺道？於是菩薩晝夜思惟見欲如火，想知念盡顛倒行法，見初利法授阿那含，即彼天宮取道明證。如是不久，或時菩薩在上分地，下觀欲界猶如聚沫，斷三結使遠離三惡於有無有。或有菩薩得根得力立志自在，破有滅無無四等心，等彼此、無我想，非去來今亦非等正覺。今此眾生於無上道有何差別？」

At that time, there was a bodhisattva in the assembly named Samantaprabha, whose spiritual wisdom was thoroughly penetrating, who abided in non-retrogression, and whose mind of vast vows could not be undermined. Praised by the Buddhas—not just one or two, but up to Buddhas as numerous as the sands of the Ganges—his merits were immeasurable; his accumulated practices were fearless; and he constantly roamed through immeasurable Buddha worlds. He had eight fellow practitioners: the first was named Bodhisattva Samyagdṛṣṭi, the second Bodhisattva Rjumati, the third Bodhisattva Bahulakṣaṇa, the fourth Bodhisattva Saṃkocavikoca, the fifth Bodhisattva Vimukta, the sixth Bodhisattva Bandhavimukta, the seventh Bodhisattva Samanujña, and the eighth Bodhisattva Labdhapraṇidhāna. For countless kalpas they had already abided on the final ground and attained non-retrogression. At that time, Bodhisattva Samantaprabha said to the Buddha: "How do bodhisattva-mahāsattvas enter the four paths without precedence and succeed in attaining the path of unsurpassed, equal, and perfect awakening? Here, a bodhisattva contemplates day and night, seeing desires as like fire; thoughts, perceptions, and conceptualizations are exhausted, as are the dharmas of inverted practice. Seeing the dharma of the first benefit, he is conferred the state of an anāgāmin, directly in that heavenly palace obtaining the clear realization of the path. Thus, before long, at times a bodhisattva, while on the ground of the higher divisions, looks down upon the desire realm as like a mass of foam, severs the three fetters, distances himself from the three evil destinies, and is without being in the midst of being. Or there is a bodhisattva who has attained the faculties and powers, is established in sovereign resolve, shatters being, extinguishes non-being, is without the four immeasurables, equates self and other, is without perception of a self, is neither past, future, nor present, and is also not equally and perfectly awakened. How do these sentient beings differ with respect to the unsurpassed path?"
