Summary
s.1The bodhisattva Dṛḍhādhyāśaya sets out for alms one morning in the city of Rājagṛha. Catching sight there of a merchant’s beautiful daughter, he is overcome with attraction. Unable to quell his feelings, he rushes out of town with an empty begging bowl—but finds himself being pursued by a replica of the merchant’s daughter emanated by the Buddha. Distressed, the bodhisattva inquires about the nature of these events to the Blessed One, who then gives a discourse on nonduality by focusing on the erroneous manner in which certain bhikṣus, bhikṣuṇīs, laymen, and laywomen take the path as a means of escape. At its conclusion, eight great śrāvakas each praise the discourse as engendering their own foremost quality in others.
s.1菩薩堅意在王舍城的一個早晨出去乞食。他在城裡看到一位商人美麗的女兒，被她的魅力所吸引。無法平復自己的情感，他拿著空的乞食缽匆匆逃出城鎮——但卻發現自己被一個由佛所變現的商人女兒的幻像所追逐。菩薩感到苦惱，向薄伽梵詢問這些事件的性質。薄伽梵隨後開示了不二法門，重點闡述了某些比丘、比丘尼、男信徒和女信徒以錯誤的方式將修行作為逃脫手段的問題。開示結束時，八位大聲聞各自讚嘆該開示能在他人身上引發自己最殊勝的品質。
