Summary
s.1This discourse takes place while the Buddha Śākyamuni is on Vulture Peak Mountain with a large community of monks, along with numerous bodhisattvas. Ten of the bodhisattvas present in the retinue have become discouraged after failing to attain dhāraṇī despite exerting themselves for seven years. The bodhisattva Undaunted therefore requests the Buddha to bestow upon them an instruction that will enable them to generate wisdom. In response, the Buddha reveals the cause of their inability to attain dhāraṇī—a specific negative act they performed in the past—and he goes on to explain the importance of respecting Dharma teachers and reveal how these ten bodhisattvas can purify their karmic obscurations.
s.1這次說法發生在釋迦牟尼佛於鷲峰山與大量比丘以及眾多菩薩的集會中。十位在法會中的菩薩因為經過七年的努力卻未能得到陀羅尼而感到沮喪。菩薩無畏因此請求佛陀賜予他們能生起智慧的教導。作為回應，佛陀揭示了他們未能獲得陀羅尼的原因——他們過去所做的某個負面行為——並進而解釋了恭敬法師的重要性，並揭示這十位菩薩如何能夠淨化他們的業障。
