Summary

s.1This sūtra, one of the longest scriptures in the General Sūtra section of the Kangyur, outlines the path of the Great Vehicle as it is journeyed by bodhisattvas in pursuit of awakening. The teaching, which is delivered by the Buddha Śākyamuni to a host of bodhisattvas from faraway worlds as well as a selection of his closest hearer students, such as Śāradvatī­putra and Ānanda, elucidates in particular the practice of engendering and strengthening the mind of awakening, as well as the practice of bodhisattva conduct for the sake of all other beings.

s.1這部經典是甘珠爾總集經部中篇幅最長的經典之一,概括了大乘的道路,由菩薩在追求菩提的過程中所踐行。這部教法由釋迦牟尼佛傳授給來自遠方世界的眾多菩薩,以及他親近的聲聞弟子,如舍利弗和阿難等。經文特別闡明了生起和增強菩提心的實踐,以及菩薩為了一切眾生而進行的菩薩行。
