<DIV style="MARGIN: 5px 0px"> 金剛般若波羅蜜經 DIAMOND PRAJNAPARAMITA SUTRA  姚秦天竺三藏鳩摩羅什漢譯 YOJIN THREE TREASURE HWASANG KUMARAZUP TRANSTRATED. ENGLISH VERSION TRANSLATED BY HIENUNG DISCIPLE BULBULZA 如是我聞 一時佛在舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園與大比丘衆千二百五十人俱 Like this I heard. One time, Buddha had been staying in Shravasti Country, at the relief Elder Jeta's garden, together with great Bhikus and the mass of 1,250 peoples. 爾時世尊食時著衣持鉢入舍衛大城乞食 At those one day, World Honer, on meal time, put on robe and holded his vowl, entered in Shravasti's big castle. 於其城中次第乞已還至本處飯食訖收衣鉢洗足已敷座而坐 In that castle, he begged food according to the sequence of houses. He returned to the original place, ate the day's meal. He arranged his robe and bowl, washed his feet. He put his cushion and sat down. 時長老須菩提在大衆中卽從座起偏袒右肩右膝著地合掌恭敬而白佛言 On that time, the Elder Subhuti who was sitting in the mass on the sequence,  stood up. He bared robe from his right shoulder, put his knee on the ground, and with his palms together paid homage to Buddha, and said. 希有世尊 如來善護念諸菩薩善付囑諸菩薩 世尊善男子善女人發阿耨多羅三藐三菩提心應云何住云何降伏其心 How unnoticible! World Honor. Nyearae so well protect every Bodhisattva and so well show paragons for every  bodhisattva. World Honor. For Sunmen and Sunwomen, who develop the desire for the highest rightest identical enlightenment, on what should their mind be stayed? How should they subdue their mind? 佛言 善哉善哉須菩提如汝所說如來善護念諸菩薩善付囑諸菩薩 汝今諦聽當爲汝說 善男子善女人發阿耨多羅三藐三菩提心應如是住如是降伏其心 Buddha replied. Very well very well. Subhuti. What you said is right. Nyearae well protect every Bodhisattva and well show paragons for every Bodhisattva. You listen very carefully. I'll explain for you.   Sunmen and Sunwomen who develop the desire for the highest rightest identical enlightenment must stay their mind such rightly, and so must rightly subdue their mind. 唯然世尊願樂欲聞 So it should be. World Honor. Please, we desire happily to listen. 佛告須菩提 諸菩薩摩訶薩應如是降伏其心 Buddha said to Subhuti. Every bodhisattva, like this way, must subdue their mind. 所有一切衆生之類若卵生若胎生若濕生若化生若有色若無色若有想若無想若非有想非無想我皆令入無餘涅槃而滅度之如是滅度無量無數無邊衆生實無衆生得滅度者 Objective being of every sort of living being, which is born from the seed, from the incubator, from the culture and from the transformation. whether it is color kind or no color kind whether it is thought being or no thought being whether it is outiside being of thought being or outside being of no thought being. I will surely guide whole of them to the nothing remained Nirvana. So as the result, I would have guided immeasurable, innumerable, infinite number of living being to be liberated, but there is really not any living being which has gotten liberatation. 何以故須菩提若菩薩有我相人相衆生相壽者相卽非菩薩 What is the reason? Subhuti, if Bodhisattva has, in his mind, the being of I, the being of other people, the being of living being and the being of liberated being, he can't be Bodhisattva. 復次須菩提 菩薩於法應無所住行於布施。 所謂不住色布施不住聲香味觸法布施 Moreover, Subhuti. Bodhisattva, on any kind of meaning being not to be attached, should  do beneficial charity. So say, not to be attached to color kind, Bodhisattva do charity. Not to be attached to sound kind, smell kind, taste kind, tactile kind and meaning kind, Bodhisattva do charity. 須菩提菩薩應如是布施不住於相 Subhuti. Bodhisattva must like this way, should do charity. Never stay onto any objective being.  何以故若菩薩不住相布施其福德不可思量 須菩提於意云何東方虛空可思量不 For what? When Bodhisattva, not being attached, do charity, the beneficial result cannot be measured. Subhuti. how do you say? That Eastern void sky can be measured? 不也世尊 No. World Honor. 須菩提南西北方四維上下虛空可思量不 Subhuti. Those Southern, Western, Northern, Four Betweens and Above and Below void skies can be measured? 不也世尊 No.  World Honor. 須菩提菩薩無住相布施福德亦復如是不可思量 須菩提菩薩但應如所敎住 Subhuti. When bodhisattva, not being attached to objective being do charity, the beneficial result also is as like this, can't be measured. Subhuti. Bodhisattva should stay on here to be tought. 須菩提於意云何可以身相見如來不 Subhuti. what do you say? It is possible by the body being, to see Nyearae, isn't it? 不也世尊不可以身相得見如來何以故如來所說身相卽非身相 No. World Honor. By the body being no one can see Nyearae. Fot the reason, Nyearae say the body being is just not any being of body being. 佛告須菩提 凡所有相皆是虛妄若見諸相非相卽見如來 Buddha agreed to Subhuti. Every objectitve existing being, whole is like false and delusion. When you see every objective being is not real being as seen, you'll just see Nyearae. 須菩提白佛言 世尊頗有衆生得聞如是言說章句生實信不 Subhuti said to the Buddha. World Honor. There can be any people listening like this kind of teaching by words and phrases, they can breed up real faith, can't they? 佛告須菩提 莫作是說如來滅後後五百歲有持戒修福者於此章句能生信心 Buddha replied. Don't say like that way. After Nyearae have passed away, later five hundred years, there will be people who had kept Sila and have gotten resource, so on this phrase, they will soon breed up believing mind. 以此爲實當知是人不於一佛二佛三四五佛而種善根已於無量千萬佛所種諸善根聞是章句乃至一念生淨信者  This will truely happen. You should know these people, they not only, under one Buddha, two Buddha, three four five Buddha, had sown good seeds. But innumerable thousands Buddha's place, they had sown every seeds for good roots. So listening this phrase, naturally being one minded, they'll breed up pure belief. 須菩提如來悉知悉見是諸衆生得如是無量福德 何以故是諸衆生無復我相人相衆生相壽者相無法相亦無非法相 Subhuti. Nyearae completely know, clearly see these every people will get innumerable beneficial result. What's the reason? These every people never have gotton again the being of I, the being of other people, the being of living being, the being of liberated being, the being of any meaning and the being of the contra meaning. 何以故是諸衆生若心取相卽爲著我人衆生壽者 若取法相卽著我人衆生壽者 何以故若取非法相卽著我人衆生壽者 是故不應取法不應取非法 以是義故如來常說汝等比丘知我說法如筏喩者法尙應捨何況非法 What's the reason? When if, every these people get any objective being then they are already attached to the I, the other people, the living being and the liberated being. When they get the being of any meaning then they are also attached to the I, the other people, the living being and the liberated being. The reason why is, when they get the being of the contra meaning then they are also attached to the I, the other people, the living being and the liberated being. For this reason, you shouldn't get any meaning, you shouldn't get the contra meaning. For this reason is right, so Nyearae always say, you all Bhikus must understand my preaching Dharma as like a raft. Dharma resultingly must be thrown away, why there can be any other reason to keep wrong Dharma? 須菩提於意云何如來得阿耨多羅三藐三菩提耶 如來有所說法耶 Subhuti. What are you going to say? Nyearae have gotten the highest rightest identical enlightenment? Nyearae have preached any Dharma? 須菩提言 如我解佛所說義無有定法名阿耨多羅三藐三菩提亦無有定法如來可說 何以故如來所說法皆不可取不可說非法非非法 所以者何一切賢聖皆以無爲法而有差別       Subhuti replied. As far, I have understood the meaning of Buddha's teaching, there is not any really existing Dharma to name for the highest rightest identical enlightenment. Also, there can't be any really existing Dharma Nyearae had preached. Because, Nyearae's preaching meaning whole is can't be taken, can't be expressed, not being of any meaning and also can't be any contra  meaning.  The reason is so like this, every Wise saint whole are on Pure Dharma, so those are different and classified. 須菩提於意云何若人滿三千大千世界七寶以用包施是人所得福德寧爲多不 Subhuti. What are you going to say? When some person using heaped up seven treasures on the three thousands of big thousand worlds, do charity. This person will get benificial result surely very much, won't he? 須菩提言 甚多世尊何以故是福德卽非福德性是故如來說福德多 Subhuti replied. Very much. World Honor. Because this beneficial result is not any being of beneficial result. Therefore Nyearae say the beneficial result is much. 若復有人於此經中受持乃至四句偈等爲他人說其福勝彼 And more, from this Sutra, some person who accept the inner meaning and keep on them, or they explain only four lines of this Sutra for other people, the benificial resource is more than the former's. 何以故須菩提一切諸佛及諸佛阿耨多羅三藐三菩提法皆從此經出。 須菩提所謂佛法者卽非佛法 What's the reason? Subhuti. All Buddhas and Dharmas of the highest rightest identical enlightenment whole come to appear from this Sutra.   Subhuti. So called any Buddha's Dharma is not the being of Buddha's Dharma. 須菩提於意云何須陀洹能作是念我得須陀洹果不 Subhuti. What are you going to say? Does Sudawon get this kind of thought, "I got the fruit of Sudawon, didn't I?" 須菩提言 不也世尊何以故須陀洹名爲入流而無所入不入色聲香味觸法是名須陀洹 Subhuti answered. No. World Honor. The reason is because, Sudawon is named for the entered in the flow, but there is not any place to enter in. He don't enter in color kind, sound kind, smell kind, taste kind, tactile kind and meaning kind, so he is named Sudawon. 須菩提於意云何斯陀含能作是念我得斯陀含果不 Subhuti. What do you say? Does Sadaham get this kind of thought, "I got the fruit of Sadaham, didn't I?"   須菩提言 不也世尊何以故斯陀含名一往來而實無往來是名斯陀含 Subhuti answered. No. World Honer. Because, Sadaham is named for the one more time  returner. but there is really not any time place to return one more time, so he is named Sadaham. 須菩提於意云何阿那含能作是念我得阿那含果不 Subhuti. What do you say? Does Anaham get this kind of thought, "I got the fruit of Anaham, didn't I?" 須菩提言 不也世尊何以故阿那含名爲不來而實無不來是故名阿那含 Subhuti answered. No. World Honer. The reason is because, Anaham is named for the noreturner, but threre is no term of not returning so he is named Anaham. 須菩提於意云何阿羅漢能作是念我得阿羅漢道不 Subhuti. What do you say? Does Arahan get this kind of thought, "I got the fruit of Arahan, didn't I?"  須菩提言 不也世尊何以故實無有法名阿羅漢世尊若阿羅漢作是念我得阿羅漢道卽爲著我人衆生壽者 Subhuti answered. No. World Honer. Because there is really no really existing meaning by the name of Arahan. World Honer. If Arahan had gotton this kind of thought, he got the fruit of Arahan state, he just attached to the being of the I, the other people, the living being and the liberated being. 世尊佛說我得無諍三昧人中最爲第一是第一離欲阿羅漢我不作是念我是離欲阿羅漢世尊我若作是念我得阿羅漢道世尊卽不說須菩提是樂阿蘭那行者以須菩提實無所行而名須菩提是樂阿蘭那行 World Honor. Buddha said I had gotten the devateless Samaddhi, among the people the best number one, so this is the number one Arahan who departed from desires. But I didn't get this kind of thought that I was just an Arahan, free from desire. World Honer. If I had gotten that kind of thought that I got the fruit of Arahan state, World Honer couldn't had said, "Subhuti is happy doer of Arana deeds." Therefore, that Subhuti really didn't get any being of deeds so called Subhuti was happy Arana doer. 佛告須菩提 於意云何如來昔在然燈佛所於法有所得不 Buddha said to Subhuti. What are yo going to say? Nyearae, in ancient time, had been in the place of Dipankara Buddha. Related to Dharma, he got anything, didn't he? 世尊如來在然燈佛所於法實無所得 World Honer. Nyearae had been on the Dipankara place, but related to Dharma, there was really nothing Nyearae had gotten.  須菩提於意云何菩薩莊嚴佛土不 Subhuti. What do you say? Bodhisattva seriously decorate Buddha land, doesn't he? 不也世尊何以故莊嚴佛土者卽非莊嚴是名莊嚴 No. World Honer. Because, the meaning of serious decorating Buddha land is not any being of serious decorating. So this is named serious decorating. 是故須菩提諸菩薩摩訶薩應如是生淸淨心 不應住色生心不應住聲香味觸法生心應無所住而生其心 須菩提譬如有人身如須彌山王於意云何是身爲大不 Therefore Subhuti. For every Bodhisattva Mahasattva, according to this, the clean pure mind is to be arisen. Not staying on color kind, his mind arise. Not staying on sound kind, smell kind, tactile kind and meaning kind, his mind arise. According to nothing to stay on, his mind arise. Subhuti. This is figured like a person who's body is as big as Sumeru mountain king. What do you say? This body is big, isn't it?          須菩提言 甚大世尊何以故佛說非身是名大身 Subhuti answered. Very big. World Honor. Because, Buddha is saying not any being of body for the name of the big body. 須菩提如恒河中所有沙數如是沙等恒河於意云何是諸恒河沙寧爲多不 Subhuti. As in Ganges River there are many sands, So as the number of sands, suppose there are so many Ganges. What do you say? These whole sands are really many, aren't they? 須菩提言 甚多世尊但諸恒河尙多無數何況其沙 Subhuti answered. Very many. World Honer. Not only the number of Ganges River are even innumerable, how can say about those sands. 須菩提我今實言告汝若有善男子善女人以七寶滿爾所恒河沙數三千大千世界以用布施得福多不 Subhuti. Now, I am, with real words, saying to you. When Sunmen and Sunwomen, with seven treasures full filled above the so many three thousands of big thousand worlds as so many number of Ganges sands, do use the treasures for generous chariy, then the beneficial result is very huge, isn't it? 須菩提言 甚多世尊 Subhuti replied. Very huge. World Honor.  佛告須菩提 若善男子善女人於此經中乃至受持四句偈等爲他人說而此福德勝前福德 Buddha said to Subhuti. When Sunmen and Sunwomen, from this Sutra, when they have accepted and keeping the contents of this Sutra or they have accepted and keeping only four lines in this Sutra, so they do explain for other people, their beneficial resource is better than the former's. 復次須菩提隨說是經乃至四句偈等當知此處一切世間天人阿修羅皆應供養如佛塔廟 Furthermore, Subhuti. On accordance to explaining this Sutra or only four lines of this Sutra, this explaining place must be known as the same place where every world's heaven people and asuras whole necessarily do offerings as they do at the Buddha stupa and in the shrine. 何況有人盡能受持讀誦須菩提當知是人成就最上第一希有之法 若是經典所在之處卽爲有佛若尊重弟子 Then what will happen to the people who completely have accepted and keep reciting this Sutra? Subhuti. The people must be known as to be the one who accomplish the highest best rarest Dharma. Wherever this Sutra is being placed, there is the place where Buddha and his respectful disciples are. 爾時須菩提白佛言 世尊當何名此經我等云何奉持。 Listened to this, Subhuti asked qwestion to Buddha, say. World Honer. By what name this sutra is called? How we all should respectfully keep this? 佛告須菩提 是經名爲金剛般若波羅蜜以是名字汝當奉持 Buddha ordered. This sutra is named Diamond Prajnaparamita. With this name letter you ought to respectfully keep. 所以者何須菩提佛說般若波羅蜜卽非般若波羅蜜 須菩提於意云何如來有所說法不 What is the reason? Subhuti. Buddha's saying Prajnaparamita is not a being of Prajnaparamita. Subhuti. What do you say? Nyearae had preached any Dharma, hadn't he? 須菩提白佛言 世尊如來無所說 Subhuti answered. World Honer. Nyearae hadn't preached.  須菩提於意云何三千大千世界所有微塵是爲多不 Subhuti. What do you say? Three thousands of big thousand world's every tiny dusts are very many, aren't they?  須菩提言 甚多世尊 Subhuti answered. Very many. World Honer. 須菩提諸微塵如來說非微塵是名微塵如來說世界非世界是名世界 Subhuti. Every tiny dusts are, Nyearae say, not any being of tiny dust. so name them tiny dusts. Nyearae say, world is not any being of world, so name it world.  須菩提於意云何可以三十二相見如來不 Subhuti. What do you say? You can, by thirty two symbol marks, see Nyearae, can't you? 不也世尊不可以三十二相得見如來何以故如來說三十二相卽是非相是名三十二相 No. World Honor. It is not possible by thirty two symbol marks to see Nyearae. Because, Nyearae's saying thirty two symbol marks are just not being of thirty two symbol marks, so name them thirty two symbol marks. 須菩提若有善男子善女人以恒河沙等身命布施若復有人於此經中乃至受持四句偈等爲他人說其福甚多 Subhuti. Suppose some Sunmen and Sunwomen, by many bodies and lives as many as Ganges sands, do charity, on the other case, there are some people, who accept and keep the contents of this Sutra or four lines of this Sutra, so they explain for other people, the beneficial result is more than the former's. 爾時須菩提聞說是經深解義趣涕淚悲泣而白佛言 At that time, Subhuti listening to this Sutra. deeply understood the meaning's indication. He moved to happy tears and cried, so he reported to Buddha, say. 希有世尊佛說如是甚深經典我從昔來所得慧眼未曾得聞如是之經 Rarest. World Honer. Buddha explained this like extreme deep Sutra. I, from the past, have bred up the wisdom eye, but yet not have listened like this kind of Sutra. 世尊若復有人得聞是經信心淸淨卽生實相當知是人成就第一希有功德 World Honor. When there are really some person, who listen to this Sutra, their believing mind become pure, so the reality of beings sprung up, they should be known that they'll accomplish the best rarest power and result. 世尊是實相者卽是非相是故如來說名實相 World Honor. This reality of beings is just not any being of real being, such as this, Nyearae say the name for the reality of being. 世尊我今得聞如是經典信解受持不足爲難 World Honor. Now I have gotten, so listened this Sutra, so I believe, understand, accept and keep this Sutra without any difficulty, because there is no doubt remained. 若當來世後五百歲其有衆生得聞是經信解受持是人卽爲第一希有 何以故此人無我相人相衆生相壽者相 When it necessarily will arrive at the later five hundred years, so there are some person who'll listen to this Sutra, so they believe, understand, accept and keep this Sutra, then they are the best and the rarest. Because these people are free from being of I, being of other people, being of living being and being of liberated being.      所以者何我相卽是非相人相衆生相壽者相卽是非相 何以故離一切諸相卽名諸佛 What is the reason? Being of I is not any being of I. Being of other people, being of living being and being of liberated being is not real being as to be experienced. What is the reason? Because, breaking out the being of the whole being, is just named Buddha. 佛告須菩提 如是如是若復有人得聞是經不驚不怖不畏當知是人甚爲希有 Buddha said to Subhuti. That is right, just right. Again there are people who listen this Sutra, but they are not suprised nor afraid nor scared, then they must be known as so rarest people.  何以故須菩提如來說第一波羅蜜卽非第一波羅蜜是名第一波羅蜜須菩提忍辱波羅蜜如來說非忍辱波羅蜜 What is the reason? Subhuti. Nyearae's saying the first charity Paramita is not the being of the first charity Paramita. So is named the first charity Paramita. Subhuti. For the enduring Paramita, Nyearae say, it's not the being of enduring Paramita. 何以故須菩提如我昔爲歌利王割截身體我於爾時無我相無人相無衆生相無壽者相 Why is that? Subhuti. Like this. I, on ancient time, let Kali king to cut my body into pieces. I, on that moment, had no being of I, no being of other being, no being of living being and no being of liberated being. 何以故我於往昔節節支解時若有我相人相衆生相壽者相應生瞋恨 What is the reason? On that moment, arms and legs being cut away into pieces, if I had gotten the being of I, being of other people, being of living being and being of liberated being, might had been caught by the springing up  angry and hating. 須菩提又念過去於五百世作忍辱仙人於爾所世無我相無人相無衆生相無壽者相 Subhuti. Again I remember the past five hundred lives, I had practiced to become the enduring hermit. At those whole time, there was no being of I, no being of other people, no being of living being and no being of liberated being. 是故須菩提菩薩應離一切相 發阿耨多羅三藐三菩提心不應住色生心不應住聲香味觸法生心 Therefore Subhuti. Bodhisattva necessarily must break out the being of the objective being. Developing the desire for the highest rightest identical enlightment, mind is to be sprung up by nonstaying to any color kind. By nonstaying on any sound kind, smell kind, tactile kind and meaning kind, mind is to be sprung up.  應生無所住心若心有住卽爲非住是故佛說菩薩心不應住色布施 Mind must be sprung up through the nonstaying. When mind is staying, just try not to stay. Therefore Buddha say Bodhisattva should do charity with the mind of nonstaying on any color kind.     須菩提菩薩爲利益一切衆生應如是布施 Subhuti. Bodhisattva for the benefits of whole living being should do charity necessarily like this way. 如來說一切諸相卽是非相又說一切衆生卽非衆生 Nyearae's saying of every whole being is just not any being. More saying of every living being is not any living being. 須菩提如來是眞語者實語者如語者不誑語者不異語者 須菩提如來所得法此法無實無虛 Subhuti. Nyearae is just the speaker of the truth, speaker of the reality, speaker of no cheating and speaker of no difference. Subhuti. Nyearae is said to be endowed with Dharma, but this Dharma is not real existing sort nor unreal nonexisting sort. 須菩提若菩薩心住於法而行布施如人入闇卽無所見若菩薩心不住法而行布施如人有目日光明照見種種色 Subhuti. When Bodhisattva with his mind staying on any meaning do charity, then he is like the man who enter in the dark, so he never get anything to see. When Bodhisattva with his mind nonstaying to any meaning do charity, then he is like the man who has the appreciative eye and the sun light is brightly shining, so he can see various kinds of every colors. 須菩提當來之世若有善男子善女人能於此經受持讀誦卽爲如來以佛智慧悉知是人悉見是人皆得成就無量無邊功德 Subhuti. Necessarily, in the future, there are Sunmen and Sunwomen who can accept and keep this Sutra so they will read and recite. Just as they do this, Nyearae, with Buddha eye, completely know these people and clearly see these whole people to achive uncountable infinite power and result.   須菩提若有善男子善女人初日分以恒河沙等身布施中日分復以恒河沙等身布施後日分亦以恒河沙等身布施如是無量百千萬億劫以身布施 Subhuti. Let's say, there are some Sunmen and Sunwomen, for the first day, they do charity with their bodies as many as Ganges sands. For the middle day, they again do charity with their bodies as many as Ganges sands. For the last day, they also do charity with their bodies as many as Ganges sands. Like this way, during uncountable hundred thousand billion kalpas, they do charitiy. 若復有人聞此經典信心不逆其福勝彼何況書寫受持讀誦爲人解說     There might be some other people, who are listening this Sutra but their believing is never opposed, their beneficial resource is more than the former's. There is no need more to say about the people who copy, accept, read and recite this Sutra or explaining for the other people to understand. 須菩提以要言之是經有不可思議不可稱量無邊功德 如來爲發大乘者說爲發最上乘者說若有人能受持讀誦廣爲人說如來悉知是人悉見是人皆得成就不可量不可稱無有邊不可思議功德如是人等卽爲荷擔如來阿耨多羅三藐三菩提 Subhuti. Simply say, this Sutra has miraculous unmeasurable infinite power and resource. Nyearae say this Sutra for the people who develop the desire to get on the big vehicle, who develop the desire for the highest vehicle. When there are some people who can accept and keep this Sutra so they read  and recite and they do even explain broadly for other people, Nyearae really know and clearly see these every people to achieve innumerable inexpressible infinite miraculous power and result. This like people all have gotten the share of the burden of Nyearae's the highest rightest indetical enlightenment.       何以故須菩提若樂小法者著我見人見衆生見壽者見卽於此經不能聽受讀誦爲人解說 What is the reason? Subhuti. When people enjoy to learn various small meanings, they have attached on the view of I being, the view of other people's being, the view of living being's being and the view of liberated being's being. They can't carefully listen to this Sutra, so they can't accept,  diligently read nor recite enough to explain for other people to understand.  須菩提在在處處若有此經一切世間天人阿修羅所應供養 當知此處卽爲是塔皆應恭敬作禮圍繞以諸華香而散其處   Subhuti. Any being and everywhere when this Sutra is on, this place is where the whole world's heaven people and asuras necessarily do offering. This place must be known just as the Pagoda, the whole necessarily pay sincere respecting homage and they decorate over with every flowers so the fragrance always spread out. 復次須菩提善男子善女人受持讀誦此經若爲人輕賤是人先世罪業應墮惡道以今世人輕賤故先世罪業卽爲消滅當得阿耨多羅三藐三菩提        More than this, Subhuti. When Sunmen and women, because of the reason as they are accepting and keeping this Sutra, so they are blamed from other people, these people, according merely to the bad karma causes of the past lives, might be fallen into wrong world. But now the emerging people are blaming so the past bad karmas are naturally extinguished. Therefore they spontaneously enlighten the highest rightest identical enlightenment. 須菩提我念過去無量阿僧祇劫於然燈佛前得値八百四千萬億那由他諸佛悉皆供養承事無空過者若復有人於後末世能受持讀誦此經所得功德於我所供養諸佛功德百分不及一千萬億分乃至算數譬喩所不能及 Subhuti. I remember one ancient time of innumerable uncountable kalpas before, before the time of Dipankara Buddha, I had gotten chances to meet eight hundred four thousand billions of various every Buddha, and I had done offerings to one after the other Buddha without any exception, I had not committed any void mystake. When there are some people in the later world of decadence, who can accept and keep this Sutra, so they keep reading and reciting. Comparing to their achieving amount of power and resource, my achieving by the offerings to the every Buddhas is less than the hundredth, less than the billionth, mathematical figuration can't be enough to explain.          須菩提若善男子善女人於後末世有受持讀誦此經所得功德我若具說者或有人聞心則狂亂狐疑不信須菩提當知是經義不可思議果報亦不可思議 Subhuti. When there are Sunmen and Sunwomen, later in the world of decadence, who do accept and keep this Sutra so they keep reading and reciting this Sutra. About their achieving of power and resource, if I explain one after the other, there may be some people, listening to this, they'll lose their mind, they'll become chaotic or they'll doubt only and they finally can't believe it. Subhuti. You must know the meaning of this Sutra to be marvelous. The resultant reward of this Sutra is miraculous.   爾時須菩提白佛言 世尊善男子善女人發阿耨多羅三藐三菩提心云何應住云何降伏其心 On that time. Subhuti asked Buddha, say. World Honer. Sunmen and Sunwomen who developed the desire for the highest rightest identical enlightenment, on what should their mind be stayed? How should they subdue their mind? 佛告須菩提 善男子善女人發阿耨多羅三藐三菩提者當生如是心我應滅度一切衆生滅度一切衆生已而無有一衆生實滅度者 Buddha replied to Subhuti. Sunmen and Sunwomen who developed the desire for the highest rightest identical enlightment must breed up their mind like this way, I will guide whole living being to be liberated. so I'll have completely guided whole of them to be liberated. So the result, every living being would have been liberated, but there really can't be any one living being which has gotten any liberatation. 何以故須菩提若菩薩有我相人相衆生相壽者相卽非菩薩 What is the reason? Subhuti. If Bodhisattva has, in his mind, the being of I, the being of other people, the being of living being and the being of liberated being, he can't be Bodhisattva.      所以者何須菩提實無有法發阿耨多羅三藐三菩提者 What is the reason? Subhuti. There can't be any meaning being of the people who develop the desire for the highest rightest identical enlightenment. 須菩提於意云何如來於然燈佛所有法得阿耨多羅三藐三菩提不 Subhuti. What do you say? Nyearae, at Dipankara Buddha's place, had gotten any Dharma of the highest rightest identical enlightment, hadn't he?   不也世尊如我解佛所說義佛於然燈佛所無有法得阿耨多羅三藐三菩提 No. World Honor. Like this I understand, according to the meaning of Buddha's preaching, Buddha, at Dipankara' place, hadn't gotten any Dharma of the highest rightest identical enlightment.   佛言 如是如是須菩提實無有法如來得阿耨多羅三藐三菩提 Buddha agreed. That's right, just right. Subhuti. Really, there hadn't been any rel being of Dharma that Nyearae had gotten by the name of the highest rightest identical enlightment. 須菩提若有法如來得阿耨多羅三藐三菩提者然燈佛卽不與我受記汝於來世當得作佛號釋迦牟尼以實無有法得阿耨多羅三藐三菩提是故然燈佛與我受記作是言汝於來世當得作佛號釋迦牟尼 Subhuti. If there had been any Dharma, so Nyearae had gotten the highest rightest identical enlighenment, Dipankara Buddha couldn't have affirmed to me that I, on this world, surely become Buddha who called by Shakamuni. I really hadn't gotten any Dharma of the highest rightest identical enlightenment, so Dipankara Buddha had affirmed me by this kind of words, "You, next life, surely will become Buddha, called Shakamuni." 何以故如來者卽諸法如義若有人言如來得阿耨多羅三藐三菩提 須菩提實無有法佛得阿耨多羅三藐三菩提 須菩提如來所得阿耨多羅三藐三菩提於是中無實無虛 What's the reason? The meaning of Nyearae is just that every meaning is the same kind of meaning. There may be some people who say that Nyearae have gotten the highest rightest identical enlightestment. Subhuti. There really is not any Dharma that Buddha have gotten by the name of the highest rightest identical enlightenment. Subhuti. Nyearae has gotten the highest rightest identical enlightment, but the meaning of this is not real existing sort nor unreal nonexisting sort. 是故如來說一切法皆是佛法須菩提所言一切法者卽非一切法是故名一切法 須菩提譬如人身長大 For this reason, Nyearae say every meaning whole is just Buddha's Dharma. Subhuti. The so called every meaning is not any being of every meaning. Therefore named every meaning. Subhuti. Like the figuraive expressing word of people with long and big body.     須菩提言 世尊如來說人身長大卽爲非大身是名大身 Subhuti said. World Honor. Nyearae's saying of the people with long and big body is not any being of big body, so named big body.    須菩提菩薩亦如是若作是言我當滅度無量衆生卽不名菩薩 Subhuti. Bodhisattva is also the same. When he get this kind of thought, "I must guide infinite living being to the Nirvana." then he can't be named Bodhisattva. 何以故須菩提實無有法名爲菩薩是故佛說一切法無我無人無衆生無壽者 What is the reason? Subhuti. There really isn't any existing meaning by the naming of Bodhisattva. Therefore, Buddha say that every meaning must be free from being of I, free from being of other people, free from being of living being and free from liberated being. 須菩提若菩薩作是言我當莊嚴佛土是不名菩薩 何以故如來說莊嚴佛土者卽非莊嚴是名莊嚴 Subhuti. When Bodhisattva get this kind of thought, "I am surely doing serious  decorating of Buddha land." then he can't be named Bodhisattva. What's the reason? Nyearae's saying of the meaning of the serious decorating of Buddha land is not the being of serious decorating, so is named serious decorating.       須菩提若菩薩通達無我法者如來說名眞是菩薩 Subhuti. When Bodhisattva, throughly mastered the Dharma of non being of I, Nyearae say and name him to be true Bodhisattva. 須菩提於意云何如來有肉眼不 Subhuti. What do you say? Nyearae has body eye, hasn't he?  如是世尊如來有肉眼 That's right. World Honor. Nyearae has body eye.  須菩提於意云何如來有天眼不 Subhuti. What do you say? Nyearae has heaven eye, hasn't he? 如是世尊如來有天眼 That's right. World Honor. Nyearae has heaven eye. 須菩提於意云何如來有慧眼不 Subhuti. What do you say? Nyearae has wisdom eye, hasn't he? 如是世尊如來有慧眼 That's right. World Honor. Nyeaare has wisdom eye.   須菩提於意云何如來有法眼不 Subhuti. What do you say? Nyearae has Dharma eye, hasn't he? 如是世尊如來有法眼 That's right. World Honor. Nyearae has Dharma eye. 須菩提於意云何如來有佛眼不 Subhuti. What do you say? Nyearae has Buddha eye, hasn't he? 如是世尊如來有佛眼 That's right. World Honor. Nyearae has Buddha eye. 須菩提於意云何恒河中所有沙佛說是沙不 Subhuti. What do you say? In Ganges River there are sands, Buddha had said about the sands, hadn't he? 如是世尊如來說是沙 That's right. World Honor. Nyearae had said about the sands.  須菩提於意云何如一恒河中所有沙有如是等恒河是諸恒河所有沙數佛世界如是寧爲多不 Subhuti. What do you say? Suppose, in one Ganges River there are many sands, as the number of sands there are so many Ganges Rivers. As these number of whole sands there are so many Buddha's worlds. Then the number of worlds is really big, isn't it? 甚多世尊 Very big. World Honor. 佛告須菩提 爾所國土中所有衆生若干種心如來悉知何以故如來說諸心皆爲非心是名爲心所以者何須菩提過去心不可得現在心不可得未來心不可得 Buddha said to Subhuti. As like in this Country there are such living beings who have also several kinds of mind. But Nyearae clearly see the whole of them. What's the knowhow? Because, Nyearae's saying every mind is not any being of mind, so named mind. What is the reason? Subhuti. Toward past mind can't be gotten. For this moment mind can't be gotten. Forward future mind also can't be gotten.    須菩提於意云何若有人滿三千大千世界七寶以用布施是人以是因緣得福多不 Subhuti. What do you say? When there are some people who full filled seven treasures above the three thousand of big thousand worlds, so they do use the treasures for generous charity, then these people, by the causes of this charity, will get so much beneficial result, won't they? 如是世尊此人以是因緣得福甚多 That's so. World Honor. Those people, by the causes of those charity, will get extremely  much beneficial result. 須菩提若福德有實如來不說得福德多以福德無故如來說得福德多 Subhuti. When the beneficial result is really existing being, Nyearae don't say beneficial result is so much. Because the beneficial result is not any being kind, so Nyearae say they'll get beneficial result so much. 須菩提於意云何佛可以具足色身見不 Subhuti. What do you say? Buddha, so he has fully possessed the terms of body, can be seen, can't he? 不也世尊如來不應以具足色身見何以故如來說具足色身卽非具足色身是名具足色身 No. World Honor. Nyearae, not by fully possessing the terms of body, can be seen. Because, Nyearae's saying possessing the terms of body is not any being of possessing the terms of body, so is named possessing the terms of body.  須菩提於意云何如來可以具足諸相見不   Subhuti. What do you say? Nyearae, so he has fully possessed the whole symbol marks, can be seen, can't he? 不也世尊如來不應以具足諸相見何以故如來說諸相具足卽非具足是名諸相具足 No. World Honor. Nyearae, not by fully possessing the whole marks, can be seen. Because, Nyearae's saying possessing the whole marks is not any being of possessing those, so is named possessing the whole marks. 須菩提汝勿謂如來作是念我當有所說法莫作是念 何以故若人言如來有所說法卽爲謗佛不能解我所說故 須菩提說法者無法可說是名說法 Subhuti. You must not say that Nyearae has gotten this kind of thought "I surely have preached Dharma." Don't get this kind of thought. Therefore when people say "Nyearae has preached Dharma." then they are critisising Buddha. Because they can't understand what I am saying. Subhuti. Preaching Dharma can't be any being of Dharma that can be preached, so is named preaching Dharma.    爾時慧命須菩提白佛言 世尊頗有衆生於未來世聞說是法生信心不 At that time the wise Subhuti asked qwestion to Buddha, say. World Honor. Truly there will be some living being, in the far future, who will breed up believing mind, won't there? 佛言 須菩提彼非衆生非不衆生 何以故須菩提衆生衆生者如來說非衆生是名衆生  Buddha said. Subhuti, those living being is neither living being nor nonliving being. What is the reason? Subhuti. Even the living being of living being's saying is, Nyearae say not any being of living being, so is named living being. 須菩提白佛言 世尊佛得阿耨多羅三藐三菩提爲無所得耶 Subhuti asked Buddha. World Honor. Buddha have gotten the highest rightest identical enlightenment, but this doesn't say related to any kind of getting possession, does this? 如是如是 須菩提我於阿耨多羅三藐三菩提乃至無有少法可得是名阿耨多羅三藐三菩提 That's right, just right. Related to the highest rightest identical enlightenment and to the such smallest tiny meaning, I have not gotten anything, so is named the highest rightest identical enlightenment. 復次須菩提是法平等無有高下是名阿耨多羅三藐三菩提 以無我無人無衆生無壽者修一切善法卽得阿耨多羅三藐三菩提 須菩提所言善法者如來說非善法是名善法 And furthermore, Subhuti. This Dharma is  the equality of no difference, there can't be high nor low, so is named the highest rightest identical enlightenment. Seeking after no being of I, no being of other people, no being of living being and no being of liberated being, so you do practcing every good meaning, then you'll soon get the highest rightest identical enlightenment. Subhuti. The words, good meaning is not any being of good meaning, so is named good meaning. 須菩提若三千大千世界中所有諸須彌山王如是等七寶聚有人持用布施 若人以此般若波羅蜜經乃至四句偈等受持讀誦爲他人說於前福德百分不及一百千萬億分乃至算數譬喩所不能及 Subhuti. Suppose some peole full filled as high as the Sumeru king mountain above three thousands of big thousand worlds. As with the figured amount of seven treasures, so they are doing generous charity. Other case, there are some other people who are keeping this Prajnaparamita Sutra or only just four lines of this Sutra. They accepted, keep, read and recite this Sutra, so they do explain for other people. The former's beneficial result can't be reach to the hundredth nor the billionth. So mathmatical figuration can't be adequate to express this. 須菩提於意云何汝等勿謂如來作是念我當度衆生 須菩提莫作是念何以故實無有衆生如來度者若有衆生如來度者如來卽有我人衆生壽者 須菩提如來說有我者卽非有我而凡夫之人以爲有我 須菩提凡夫者如來說卽非凡夫    Subhuti. What do you say? You all don't say that Nyearae have gotten this thought "I must guide living being." Subhuti. Don't get this kind of thought. What's the reason? There really isn't any living being which Nyearae must guide. If there is any living being which Nyearae must guide, Nyearae has the being of I, being of other being, being of living being and being of liberated being. Subhuti. Nyearae's saying the being of I is not any being of I, but common people usually get this for the being of I. Subhuti. Common people, Nyearae say, is not any being of common people. 須菩提於意云何可以三十二相觀如來不 Subhuti. What do you say? By the thirty two symbol marks you can seek for Buddha, can't you? 須菩提言 如是如是以三十二相觀如來 Subhuti answered. Yes, we can. By the thirty two symbol marks, we see Buddha. 佛言 須菩提若以三十二相觀如來者轉輪聖王卽是如來 Buddha said. Subhuti. If, by thiry two marks you can seek for Nyearae, then world conqueror king might be Nyearae.  須菩提白佛言 世尊如我解佛所說義不應以三十二相觀如來 Subhuti corrected his answer to Buddha, say. World Honor. As I understand the meaning of Buddha's teaching. By the thirty two marks people can't seek for Nyearae. 爾時世尊而說偈言 At this time, World Honor sang a song, say. 若以色見我　　 以音聲求我 是人行邪道 不能見如來 Who seek for me by color kind? Who seek for me by sound kind? Oh, they are on the wrong Road. How can they find Nyearae? 須菩提汝若作是念如來不以具足相故得阿耨多羅三藐三菩提 須菩提莫作是念如來不以具足相故得阿耨多羅三藐三菩提 須菩提若作是念發阿耨多羅三藐三菩提者說諸法斷滅相莫作是念 何以故發阿耨多羅三藐三菩提心者於法不說斷滅相 Subhuti. Then you may think other way as like this "Nyearae, though he has not full filled thirty two marks, have gotten the highest rightest identical enlightenment." Subhuti. Don't think like this way also, "Nyearae haven't full filled thirty two marks, but he has gotten the highest rightest identical enlightenment." Subhuti. Then you may think again like this way "People who develop the desire for the highest rightest identical enlightenment must say every meaning as to be nonexistent being." Don't think like this way also. What's the reason? The people who develop the desire for the highest rightest identical enlightenment don't say any meaning to be nonexistent being. 須菩提若菩薩以滿恒河沙等世界七寶布施 若復有人知一切法無我得成於忍此菩薩勝前菩薩所得功德須菩提以諸菩薩不受福德故 Subhuti. When some Bodhisattva, with seven treasures full filled as many worlds of the number of Ganges sands, do charity. There are other people who understand that every meaning has not its identity so he has achieved the enduring paramita. These Bodhisattva get more power and resource than the former Bodhisattva. Subhuti. Because these Bodhisattva don't get any beneficial result. 須菩提白佛言 世尊云何菩薩不受福德 Subhuti asked qwestion to Buddha, say World Honor. By what reason, Bodhisattva don't get any beneficial result?  須菩提菩薩所作福德不應貪著是故說不受福德 Subhuti. Because Bodhisattva, to any made beneficial result, don't accept with greedy attachment. Therefore I say, they don't get any beneficial result. 須菩提若有人言如來若來若去若坐若臥是人不解我所說義 何以故如來者無所從來亦無所去故名如來 Subhuti. When some people say "Nyearae so came, so went, so sat and so slept." These people don't understand the meaning what I said. What's the reason? Because Nyearae is not any coming being from any place, also not any going being to any place, so is named Nyearae. 須菩提若善男子善女人以三千大千世界碎爲微塵於意云何是微塵衆寧爲多不 Subhuti. Suppose that Sunmen and Sunwomen, with three thousands of  big thousand worlds, are grinding those worlds to tiny dusts. What do you say? These tiny dusts number of living beings are really many, aren't they? 甚多世尊何以故若是微塵衆實有者佛卽不說是微塵衆所以者何佛說微塵衆卽非微塵衆是名微塵衆 Extremely many. World Honor. Because if these tiny dusts of living beings are really existing beings, Buddha never say these for tiny dusts living beings, for this reason, Buddha's saying tiny dusts living beings are not any beings of tiny dusts living beings, so named tiny dusts living beings. 世尊如來所說三千大千世界卽非世界是名世界何以故若世界實有者卽是一合相如來說一合相卽非一合相是名一合相 World Honor. Nyearae's saying three thousands of big thousand worlds is not any being of worlds, so is named worlds. What's the reason? If worlds are really existing beings then these are combined to one universal being, Nyearae's saying one universal being is not any being of one universal being, so is named one universal being. 須菩提一合相者卽是不可說但凡夫之人貪著其事 Subhuti. What is one univarsal being? This can't be explainable. But common people are easily attached to it. 須菩提若人言佛說我見人見衆生見壽者見須菩提於意云何是人解我所說義 Subhuti. When people say there is the fact that Buddha had said about the thought of I, the thought of other people, the thought of living being and the thought of liberated being. Subhuti, what do you think? Do these people understand the meaning what I say? 不也世尊是人不解如來所說義 何以故世尊說我見人見衆生見壽者見卽非我見人見衆生見壽者見是名我見人見衆生見壽者見 No. World Honor. Those people don't understand the meaning what Nyearae said. Because, World Honor's saying the thought of I, the thought of other people, the thought of living being and the thought of liberated being can't be any kind of being of the thought of I, the thought of other people, the thought of living being and the thought of liberated being. 須菩提發阿耨多羅三藐三菩提心者於一切法應如是知如是見如是信解不生法相須菩提所言法相者如來說卽非法相是名法相 Subhuti. People, who develop the desire for the highest rightest identical enlightenment, necessarily try to understand every meaning like this way. They necessarily try to see this way, so they become to believe and see naturally. So the beingness of whatever meaning can't be sprung up. Subhuti. Therefore the beingness of meaning is, Nyearae say not any beingness of meaning, so is named the beingness of meaning. 須菩提若有人以滿無量阿僧祇世界七寶持用布施若有善男子善女人發菩薩心者持於此經乃至四句偈等受持讀誦爲人演說其福勝彼 Subhuti. Then suppose there are some people who full filled over infinite uncountable worlds with seven treasures, so they use them for doing charity. On the other case there are Sunmen and Sunmen who develop the desire for the mind of Bodhisattva, so they keep this Sutra or only keep four lines of this Sutra. Therefore they accept, keep, read and recite, so they explain the meaning for other people to understand easily. This beneficial resource is more better then the former's. 云何爲人演說不取於相如如不動 Then what knowhow is the explaining for other people? Never get the beingness of any objective being. Always be same on the n[안내]태그제한으로등록되지않습니다-xxonmovement. 何以故 What's the reason? 一切有爲法　　 如夢幻泡影 如露亦如電　　 應作如是觀 Beingness of whole meaning is like dream fantasy and bubble shadow. like dewdrop and flash of lightning. You should see this. 佛說是經已長老須菩提及諸比丘比丘尼優婆塞優婆夷一切世間天人阿修羅聞佛所說皆大歡喜信受奉行金剛般若波羅蜜經 Buddha ended the preaching of this Sutra. The Elder Subhuti and every Bhikus, bhikunis, adorer men and adorer women, every world's heaven people and asuras have listened what Buddha preached, whole have been full filled with great joy. They have believed and accepted this Sutra. They have decided to keep respectfully this.                                   Diamond Prajnaparamita Sutra.                                                                    The End. </DIV>
