Chapter 67: Morality

第六十七品:戒

67.1“Furthermore, Subhūti, starting from the production of the first thought, bodhisattva great being practicing the perfection of morality with attention connected with the knowledge of all aspects guard morality. They do not obscure it with a greedy thought, or hate, or confusion, or a bad proclivity, or an obsession, or any unwholesome dharma at all that obstructs awakening‍—namely, with miserliness, immorality, an emotionally upsetting thought, a lazy thought, deficient thought, thought that veers off, an intellectually confused thought, pride, conceit, pride in being superior, egotism, or a śrāvaka or pratyekabuddha thought. And why? Because they understand that all dharmas are empty of their own mark; they see all dharmas as not arisen, not thoroughly established, and as not having come into being; and they enter into the mark that marks all dharmas as dharmas, entering into all dharmas marked as being without the capacity to function and not occasioning anything. Endowed with those skillful means they grow and flourish on wholesome roots. Growing and flourishing [F.25.a] on wholesome roots, they practice the perfection of morality. Practicing the perfection of morality, they bring beings to maturity and purify a buddhafield, but without hoping for a result from morality‍—a result from morality that they would enjoy in saṃsāra. On the contrary, they practice the perfection of morality because they want to look after beings, to avoid hurting beings, and to benefit beings.”

67.1「此外,須菩提,菩薩摩訶薩從初起心時起,以與一切相智相應的意念修行尸羅波羅蜜多,守護戒律。他們不以貪心、瞋恨、癡迷、惡劣習氣、癡迷,或任何阻礙菩提的不善法來掩蓋戒律——即不以慳貪、不戒、嗔恚心、懈怠心、心意缺陷、偏離的心、愚癡心、憍慢、自高、優越感、我執,或聲聞心、辟支佛心來掩蓋。為什麼呢?因為他們理解所有的法都無自性;他們看見所有的法都未曾生起、未得究竟建立,也未曾成就。他們進入標記所有法為法的相,進入所有被標記為無功能、不作事的法。具備這些方便善巧,他們在善根上增長繁榮。在善根上增長繁榮,他們修行尸羅波羅蜜多。修行尸羅波羅蜜多,他們成熟眾生、淨化佛土,但不希求戒律的果報——那種在輪迴中享受的戒律果報。反之,他們修行尸羅波羅蜜多是為了照顧眾生、避免傷害眾生,以及利益眾生。」
