Summary
s.1The Miraculous Play of Mañjuśrī presents a series of profound teachings within a rich narrative structure involving a beautiful courtesan’s daughter, Suvarṇottamaprabhāśrī. A banker’s son has purchased her favors, but while they are riding together toward a pleasure garden the girl’s attention is captivated instead by the radiantly attractive Mañjuśrī, who gives her instructions related to the meaning of the mind set on awakening. She then expresses her new understanding in a dialogue with Mañjuśrī, in the presence of King Ajātaśatru, his retinue, and the citizens of Rājagṛha. Meanwhile the banker’s son, with the help of Mañjuśrī and Śakra, experiences his own realization and receives teaching from the Buddha himself. The sūtra deals with well-known Mahāyāna themes, but places special emphasis on the emptiness and sameness of all phenomena.
s.1《文殊師利所說不思議佛境界經》呈現了一系列深奧的教法,其中包含了一個豐富的敘事結構,主角是一位美麗的婬女之女金光女。一位商人之子購買了她的陪伴,但當他們一起騎馬前往歡樂園時,這位女子的注意力反而被光彩照人的文殊菩薩所吸引,文殊菩薩為她傳授了與菩提心意義相關的教導。她隨後在阿闍世王、他的隨從以及王舍城民眾的面前,與文殊菩薩進行對話,表達了她新獲得的理解。與此同時,商人之子在文殊菩薩和帝釋天的幫助下,親身體驗到悟境,並接受了佛陀本身的教導。這部經典涉及眾所周知的大乘主題,但特別強調了一切現象的空性和平等性。
