菩薩從兜術天降神母胎說廣普經 5.25

5.25

"When a bodhisattva-mahāsattva expounds in Dharma, expounds in meaning, expounds in phrases, and expounds in words: from ignorance to volitional formations down to birth and death, the dharma of causal conditions of ignorance, craving, and grasping is inexhaustible; deluded and inverted, bound by ignorance, entering from darkness into darkness, he can deliver beings from it—this is called 'exhaustible'. Ignorance conditions volitional formations; volitional formations condition consciousness; consciousness conditions name-and-form; name-and-form conditions the six sense bases; the six sense bases condition contact; contact conditions feeling; feeling conditions craving; craving conditions grasping; grasping conditions becoming; becoming conditions birth; birth conditions aging, death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, and despair. Eliminating binding attachments and longing so that there is no attachment: ignorance ceases; with the cessation of ignorance, volitional formations cease; with the cessation of volitional formations, consciousness ceases; with the cessation of consciousness, name-and-form ceases; with the cessation of name-and-form, the six sense bases cease; with the cessation of the six sense bases, contact ceases; with the cessation of contact, feeling ceases; with the cessation of feeling, craving ceases; with the cessation of craving, grasping ceases; with the cessation of grasping, becoming ceases; with the cessation of becoming, birth ceases; with the cessation of birth, aging, death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, and despair cease. Aging, death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, and despair condition birth; birth conditions becoming; becoming conditions grasping; grasping conditions craving; craving conditions feeling; feeling conditions contact; contact conditions the six sense bases; the six sense bases condition name-and-form; name-and-form conditions consciousness; consciousness conditions volitional formations; volitional formations condition ignorance. With the cessation of aging, death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, and despair, birth ceases; with the cessation of birth, becoming ceases; with the cessation of becoming, grasping ceases; with the cessation of grasping, craving ceases; with the cessation of craving, feeling ceases; with the cessation of feeling, contact ceases; with the cessation of contact, the six sense bases cease; with the cessation of the six sense bases, name-and-form ceases; with the cessation of name-and-form, consciousness ceases; with the cessation of consciousness, volitional formations cease; with the cessation of volitional formations, ignorance ceases. Understanding that the varied cessation and non-cessation of the nature of phenomena neither sees cessation nor non-cessation—what is cessation? Cessation is without cessation—this is called 'inexhaustible'.
