Summary
s.1In a retreat place in Magadha, the Buddha Śākyamuni and the bodhisattva Samantabhadra, surrounded by many bodhisattvas, perform miracles in a meditative absorption. The bodhisattva Samantabhadra asks the Buddha to distinguish between two levels of the perfection of wisdom. In response, the Buddha gives definitions of these two levels. This sūtra is one of the short prajñāpāramitā sūtras, and it belongs especially to the category related to the five bodhisattvas: Sūryagarbha, Candragarbha, Samantabhadra, Vajrapāṇi, and Vajraketu. Despite its brevity, it echoes other sūtras that feature the figure of Samantabhadra and the distinguishing of two types of wisdom.
s.1在摩揭陀的一個閉關處，佛陀釋迦牟尼和菩薩普賢菩薩與許多菩薩圍繞其周，在三昧中示現神通。菩薩普賢菩薩請求佛陀區分般若波羅蜜的兩個層級。佛陀回應並給出這兩個層級的定義。這部經是短篇般若波羅蜜經之一，特別屬於與五位菩薩相關的類別：日藏菩薩、月藏菩薩、普賢菩薩、金剛手菩薩和金剛旗菩薩。儘管篇幅簡短，它呼應了其他以普賢菩薩形象為特色並區分兩種般若類型的經典。
