Summary
s.1The Candragarbha Perfection of Wisdom is a condensed prajñāpāramitā sūtra that takes the form of a dialogue between the Buddha and the bodhisattva Candragarbha. In response to Candragarbha’s question about how bodhisattvas should train themselves in the perfection of wisdom, the Buddha declares that the perfection of wisdom lies in the understanding that all phenomena are devoid of entities, using the analogy of the moon to clarify the meaning of this declaration. Candragarbha then asks the Buddha how many kinds of perfection of wisdom exist for bodhisattvas. The Buddha answers by describing two types of perfection of wisdom, “contaminated” and “uncontaminated,” and he elucidates the nature of the perfection of wisdom with reference to the ultimate nature of all phenomena. At the end of this discourse, the Buddha presents a mantra of the perfection of wisdom, followed by a summary verse.
s.1《月藏般若波羅蜜》是一部精簡的般若波羅蜜經，呈現為佛陀與菩薩月藏之間的對話形式。在回應月藏提出的菩薩應當如何修習般若波羅蜜的問題時，佛陀宣說般若波羅蜜在於理解一切現象都沒有自體，並以月亮的比喻來闡明這一宣說的含義。月藏隨後問佛陀菩薩的般若波羅蜜有多少種。佛陀通過描述兩種般若波羅蜜類型——有漏和無漏——來回答，並參照一切現象的究竟本質來闡述般若波羅蜜的性質。在這段開示的結尾，佛陀呈現了般若波羅蜜的咒語，隨後是總結偈頌。
