信心的分類
3.1Then the bodhisattva Great Skillful Trust said, “Blessed One, what are the different aspects of the bodhisattvas’ trust in the Great Vehicle that allow them to accomplish the Great Vehicle?”
3.1這時菩薩大善信說：「世尊，菩薩們對大乘的信心有哪些不同的方面，使得他們能夠完成大乘呢？」
3.2The Blessed One replied, “Noble son, there are four aspects of the bodhisattvas’ trust in the Great Vehicle that allows them to accomplish the Great Vehicle. If you wonder what they are, they are as follows: (1) the trust that comes from resting, (2) the trust that arises upon birth, (3) the trust that emerges at another time, and (4) the trust that appears naturally.
3.2世尊回答說：「善男子，菩薩們對大乘的信心有四個方面，使他們能夠成就大乘。如果你想知道是什麼，它們如下：（1）源於安住的信心，（2）生起時產生的信心，（3）在另一個時間出現的信心，（4）自然顯現的信心。」
3.31. “Among these, noble son, the trust that comes from resting is as follows: Consider how water collecting in a hoofprint is at first murky but later clears if it is left undisturbed and calm. Likewise, bodhisattvas who have gained trust in the Great Vehicle that allows them to accomplish the Great Vehicle may become attached to many temporary activities, whereby their trust in the Great Vehicle is shaken. [F.25.a] However, whenever they are freed from this attachment, it no longer disturbs them, and they can once again focus one-pointedly on the Dharma of the Great Vehicle. At that point they will certainly be restored to their former state.
3.3善男子，其中，來自安住的信心如下：試想積聚在蹄印中的水起初混濁，但如果將其靜置不動，它就會逐漸澄清。同樣地，菩薩們獲得了能夠成就大乘的大乘信心，但他們可能會對許多暫時的活動生起貪著，因而他們對大乘的信心會被動搖。然而，每當他們脫離這種貪著時，它就不再擾亂他們，他們可以再次一心專注於大乘的法。此時他們必定會恢復到先前的狀態。
3.42. “The trust that arises upon birth, noble son, is as follows: Think of how beer and other such drinks can undergo change, so that they become clear. In the same way, whenever bodhisattvas who have attained the trust in the Great Vehicle that allows them to accomplish the Great Vehicle take a new birth, they will naturally develop trust in the Great Vehicle and therefore gain accomplishment.
3.42. 「善男子，出生時生起的信心是這樣的：想想啤酒和其他類似的飲料可以發生變化，使得它們變清澄。同樣地，無論何時獲得了大乘信心而能成就大乘的菩薩們，只要他們獲得新的生命，就會自然地在大乘中發展信心，因此獲得成就。
3.53. “The trust that emerges at another time, noble son, is as follows: Consider, for example, how the rivers become clear in autumn. Likewise, bodhisattvas who have first developed the trust in the Great Vehicle that allows them to accomplish the Great Vehicle and have become accustomed to this trust will also reconnect with this trust at a later time. As they do so, they will be purified and gain accomplishment.
3.53. 「善男子，在另一個時間出現的信心如下所述：比如，秋天時河流變得清澈。同樣地，菩薩們首先發展了使他們能夠成就大乘的大乘信心，並且已經習慣於這種信心，他們也會在後來的時間重新連接到這種信心。當他們這樣做時，他們將得到淨化並獲得成就。」
3.64. “The trust that appears naturally, noble son, is as follows: Think of how beryl and precious gems are naturally pure. Likewise, the bodhisattvas’ nonconceptual state is essentially connected with trust in the Great Vehicle that transcends the world.
3.6「善男子，自然顯現的信是這樣的：想一想琉璃和寶石本來就是純淨的。同樣地，菩薩們的無分別狀態本質上與超越世間的大乘信相連結。」
3.7“Noble son, there are four further types of trust. If you wonder what they are, they are as follows: vast trust, clear trust, peaceful trust, and pure trust. Vast trust occurs when a bodhisattva is devoted to the Great Vehicle and practices accordingly. Clear trust occurs when the bodhisattva performs the activities of the Dharma of the Great Vehicle at all times. Peaceful trust occurs when the bodhisattva is free from thoughts of I and mine. Such faith is present in those who have realized the intrinsic nature. Pure trust occurs when the bodhisattva has obtained stainless wisdom.
3.7善男子，還有四種信。你若想知道它們是什麼，它們如下：廣大信、明信、寂靜信和清淨信。廣大信出現在菩薩專注於大乘並據此修行的時候。明信出現在菩薩時時刻刻都在進行大乘法的活動的時候。寂靜信出現在菩薩解脫了我和我的所有想法的時候。這樣的信存在於那些已經實現了根本性質的人身上。清淨信出現在菩薩已經獲得無垢智慧的時候。
3.8“Noble son, there are four further types of trust. If you wonder what they are, they are as follows: precipitating trust, initiating trust, accepting and devoted trust, and interested trust. Precipitating trust is the trust in the Great Vehicle felt by those who naturally, from previous times, have created and familiarized themselves with the roots of virtue. [F.25.b] Initiating trust is the trust in the Great Vehicle caused by bodhisattvas’ arousal of the mind of unsurpassed and completely perfect awakening and their recollection of that mind of awakening after they have already aroused it. Accepting and devoted trust is the trust in the Great Vehicle created when beings embrace and respect the bodhisattva who has accepted them. Interested trust is the trust in the Great Vehicle of the bodhisattvas felt by those who are interested in the teaching of the profound realm of phenomena.
3.8「善男子，還有四種信。你若想知道它們是什麼，就是：自然而生的信、發起的信、接納恭敬的信，以及樂求的信。自然而生的信，是那些從過去就自然地培育和熟習善根的人，對大乘所生起的信。發起的信，是菩薩們發起無上正等菩提心，以及在已經發起菩提心後對那菩提心的念，所引起的對大乘的信。接納恭敬的信，是眾生們擁護和尊敬接納他們的菩薩時，對大乘所生起的信。樂求的信，是那些樂於求學深妙法界教法的人，菩薩們對大乘所生起的信。」
3.9“There are four further types of trust. If you wonder what they are, they are as follows: the trust by seeing and hearing, the trust of recollecting the spread of the teaching, the trust of recollecting the increase of virtuous factors, and the trust of recollecting hopes and wishes. ‘The trust by seeing and hearing’ refers to gaining trust in the Great Vehicle when one sees or hears the buddhas’ and bodhisattvas’ forms or radiance. ‘The trust of recollecting the spread of the teaching’ refers to the trust in the Great Vehicle that comes about by recollecting that beings ought to be ripened. ‘The trust of recollecting the increase of virtuous factors’ refers to the trust in the bodhisattva Great Vehicle caused by recollecting the continuous increase of one’s factors of awakening and virtuous qualities. ‘The trust of recollecting hopes and wishes’ refers to hoping and wishing to attain all pure buddha realms and the entire Dharma of the Buddha because of one’s virtuous qualities. In this way, the bodhisattvas feel trust in the Great Vehicle by bringing their hopes and wishes to mind.
