佛告父王及勅阿難:「諦聽諦聽,善思念之!傳語後世諸弟子等皆令得知,若我滅後諸比丘等,若問是事,此白毫相菩薩本昔修何行得?汝當答言:『佛白毫相從無量劫捨心不慳,不見前相不憶財物,心無封著而行布施,以身心法攝身威儀,護持禁戒如愛雙目,然其心內豁然虛寂,不見犯起及捨墮法,心安如地無有動搖。設有一人,以百千刀屠截其身;設復有人,以諸棘刺鞭撻其身,菩薩初無一念瞋恚;設復有人頭有千舌舌出千言,種種異辭罵辱,菩薩顏色不變,如淨蓮華,心無所著身心不懈,無疲惓意如救頭然。如身毛孔生那利瘡,求覓良醫晝夜精進,心無染污如琉璃珠表裏俱淨,攝身斂意,閉目叉手端坐正受,其心如海湛然不動,如金剛山不可沮壞。雖作是意不隨禪生,灰心滅智,無所適莫,亦無覺觀非不觀法,心智猛利攝諸方便,不見有法若大若小,有細微相,如是眾多名波羅蜜。亦從三十七助菩提法,復從十力、四無所畏、大慈大悲三念處諸妙功德,得此白毫。』
The Buddha said to his father the king and instructed Ānanda: “Listen attentively, listen attentively, and reflect upon this well! Convey this to future disciples so that all are made to know it. If after my parinirvāṇa the bhikṣus ask about this matter—‘By cultivating what practices in the past did the Bodhisattva attain this white ūrṇā mark?’—you should answer: ‘The Buddha’s white ūrṇā mark was attained from immeasurable kalpas of practicing giving with a renouncing mind free from stinginess, not clinging to former appearances, not recollecting wealth, and with a mind free of attachment; by taking hold of bodily deportment with bodily and mental dharmas, protecting and upholding the prohibitive precepts as dearly as his two eyes, yet with his mind completely open and serene, not seeing the arising of infractions or the dharmas of relinquishment and downfall, his mind settled like the earth, without shaking. Suppose a person were to butcher and sever his body with hundreds of thousands of knives; suppose another were to flog and whip his body with thorns—the Bodhisattva had not even a single thought of anger. Suppose a person had a thousand tongues in his head and from each tongue uttered a thousand words, insulting him with various reviling remarks—the Bodhisattva’s facial countenance did not change, remaining like a pure lotus; his mind had no attachment, and his body and mind were untiring, with an urgency free of weariness, as if rescuing his head from fire. Just as one whose pores suffer from suppurating ulcers seeks an excellent physician and exerts vigor day and night, so his mind was undefiled, like a vaidūrya pearl pure both inside and out. Restraining his body and gathering his thoughts, closing his eyes and clasping his hands, sitting upright in proper absorption, his mind was like an ocean, serene and unshakeable, like an adamantine mountain, indestructible. Although he maintained this mindset, he did not follow along with dhyāna to extinguish his mind and eliminate his wisdom; without bias, he had neither coarse nor subtle mental contemplation, yet he was not without contemplating phenomena. His mind and wisdom were sharp and vigorous, gathering all expedient means; he did not see any phenomenon, whether great or small, as having subtle marks. Such numerous practices are called the pāramitās. He also attained this white ūrṇā through the thirty-seven factors of awakening, and further through the ten powers, the four fearlessnesses, great loving-kindness, great compassion, the three foundations of mindfulness, and all such wondrous virtues.’
