Vajra Prajna Sutra

Chapter 3

第六辨经名更开五句（一解佛说二释金刚明解般若四释波罗蜜五三经）。经曰金刚般若波罗蜜。释曰。经题有二种。一者具足。二者不具足。具足应言佛说金刚般若。不具足但云金刚般若。问曰。余经何因缘故不题佛说。答一切诸经佛口自说。皆悉应题为佛说也。而不题者存略故。问曰。何故此经题为佛说耶。答曰。大智论云。有五种人说。一者佛口自说。二者弟子说。三者诸天说。四者仙人说。五化人说。今此经是佛口自说非余人说。是故题佛说也。问曰。余经亦是佛口自说非余人说。何故不云佛自说。答曰。已如前说理实应题。以存略故。复次如大品等经。命须菩提说。非佛自说。是故不得题为佛说。但云摩诃波若。波若具兼师弟子二说。此经不尔。虽对须菩提而佛自说非命说也。复次以理言之。应题佛说。所以者何。诸外道六师等辈亦皆说经。今恐堕邪见欲简异六师故。题佛说使人信受法也。复次道不孤运。必由人弘。法虽佛师要由佛说法乃得弘。以是义故题能说之人所说之法。则于义具足也。二释金刚。问曰。金刚为是譬名。为是法名。答曰。有人言。金刚是譬。如世间中金刚宝坚而且利。譬于波若体坚用利。今谓不然。所以者何。汝于法譬生二见故。谓金刚但譬而非法波若但法而非譬。则譬碍于法不得以譬为法。法碍于譬不得以法为譬。复次若言借世金刚喻般若者。亦应借世智慧以譬般若。若言般若自有智慧非世间智慧。亦应自有金刚非世间金刚也。复次若言金刚是譬喻者。摩诃之名亦应是譬喻。若言般若广大体是摩诃。亦应般若坚利体是金刚。问汝今何故作如此难。答波若名为真实之法。无所依止。不可言大。不可言小。不可言法。不可言譬。过一切语言。灭一切观行。今非小大叹美为大。非金刚非不金刚叹美为金刚。非小非大寄大以宣之。大既是法。非金刚非不金刚寄金刚以宣之。金刚亦得是法。借金刚以目之。金刚既是譬。寄大以目之。大亦是譬。故以譬言之一切皆是譬。以法言之一切皆是法。复次金刚是譬般若是法。金刚是喻非喻为喻。所喻之理非理为理。非理为理虽理而事。非喻为喻虽事而理。虽理而事故知非理。虽事而理故知非事。是以般若未曾理事。但无名相中假名相说。故金刚为事。般若为理。此是不二二义为众生故假名相说二。岂定二耶问云。何是金刚耶。答曰。大智论云。外国名越阇。此言金刚。又华严经云斫家罗。此翻金刚围山。又旧相传直云跋阇罗。真谛三藏云跋阇罗侈（台履反）迦（居伽反）问曰。旧翻跋阇罗为金刚出何处文。答贤愚经第二卷。波斯匿王丑女名跋阇罗。晋言金刚。问曰。汝以金刚喻般若者。此有何义。答曰。如世间宝金刚第一。出世间宝般若第一。复次如金刚宝一切世人不能秤价。般若法宝所有所生功德一切世人不能秤量。复次如金刚宝若置山顶及在平地。直过无碍。到金刚际同性乃住。般若金刚亦复如是。置福山顶若罪平地。直过无碍。到诸法实相非罪非福非有非无同性乃住。复次如世金刚宝照彻清净。故罗什云。方寸金刚照数十里物皆映现。般若亦尔。照实相水明了清净。复次如金刚宝除那罗延一切众生不能执持。般若亦尔。除信悟无依无得大力观人。若乐小法及着见众生不能信持。如经说。为发大乘者说。为发最上乘者说。若乐小法者及着诸见不能信持。复次譬如丈夫食小金刚终身不销。波若亦尔。若能了悟不可朽灭必得作佛。复次若有众生。得金刚宝远离一切贫穷困苦受诸安乐。若得般若离生死苦得大涅槃。复次如金刚宝所在之处能销恶鬼及诸蛊毒。般若亦尔。所在之处天魔外道恶鬼不能得其便。复次如金刚宝悉摧破一切诸物。而是金刚无有折损。般若亦尔。悉能摧破一切烦恼而无折损。复次金刚一切诸物不能摧破。般若亦尔。一切论者及诸烦恼不能摧破。复次如金刚宝若在日中色则不定。般若亦尔。在大众中亦复不定。或说名因。或说名果。在小心人中则名为小。在大心人中则名为大。在境名境。在智名智。而是般若无一定相。故偈云。般若是一法。佛说种种名。随诸众生力。为之立异字。复次如金刚宝虽有如此种种胜用。未尝有心自言我胜。般若亦尔。虽有无量种种功德。而未当有心。是故般若不可思议。问金刚出何处。答毗婆沙云。如从矿出金从金出金刚。故知金中之精名金刚。问金刚与天如意珠云何同异。答大智论云。帝释手执金刚与修罗斗。碎落阎浮提变成如意珠。毗婆沙云金刚能破颇梨山及如意珠。故知异也。复次此明般若与金刚同。而是般若超绝金刚。非可譬喻。金刚是世间物。般若非间失之则忧之得之则喜。得般若者无忧无喜。金刚是无知之物。般若无知无所不知。无量功德今略说而已。复次有人言。声闻法中从假名空终至罗汉通名金刚。菩萨法中从三十心终至佛慧通名金刚。若别而为论。从初地以去终至佛慧始名真金刚。所以者何。而三十心人但是学妄未得真妄。但是伏惑未能断惑。相由入体。所以未得秤真金刚也。亦得相从名金刚。初地以去得于真妄解正能断惑。相不入体。是真金刚。旧以穷学之心喻金刚者。约开善义。伏惑既周。又无明元品之惑。此最难伏。唯是穷学之心而能伏之。故至佛果起佛智断之。以是义故穷学之心名曰金刚。复次有人言。穷学之心正能断惑。故名金刚。如此等说。并言有惑之可断有解之能断。以是义故名有所得。有所得故不能断惑。无有金刚。如经中说。有所得者不从一地至一地。复次汝言未断惑时有惑无解。断惑之时有解无惑。此则惑是本有而今无。解是本无而今有。是生灭观。如经中说。诸法本有今无。又言。若诸法前有后无。诸佛菩萨则有罪过。今所明者。知惑本不有今亦不无。解本不无今亦不有。是故诸法不有不无。不生不灭。非缚非解。无观无缘乃名般若。问曰。若如是者。云何经言一念相应慧断烦恼及习。答若见有生灭。则不能断。以了诸法不解不惑非断不断故烦恼断也。问金刚但喻般若。亦喻余法。答借金刚种种喻。大经以喻法身云金刚身。又喻三昧云金刚三昧。此喻定为金刚也。今喻智慧名金刚也。问金刚是天上宝。是人中宝耶。答人天具有。如转轮王金轮是金刚宝。故所拟皆碎。帝释执金刚与修罗斗。即是天上宝也。第三释般若。般若是外国语。释论有二文。一者般若秦言智慧。开善用之。次文云。般若深重智慧轻薄。不可以轻薄智慧秤量深重般若。庄严法师云。般若名含五义。智慧但是一条。非正翻译。但解智慧经论不同。净名经分二字解之。知众生心念如应说法。起于智业。不取不舍入一相门。起于慧业。旧释此文云。智是有解。慧是空解。亦智是化他慧是自行。大品云道慧道种慧一切智一切种智。此则智慧名通空有也。又因名慧。果秤智。如因名道慧道种慧。果秤一切智一切种智。又智名通因果。如三智义。声闻一切智。菩萨道种智。佛一切种智。又慧名通因果。法华云。诸佛平等大慧也。成论文合解智慧两字云。真慧名智。又云。慧名智人。又云。慧义经中说解脱智是慧义。故智犹慧也。又大智论亦有二文。般若者秦言慧也。又云。秦言智慧也。问经论何故言语或出或没。乍合乍开。不分明一途示人合分明得解耶。答圣人非不能一途分明示人。而今有出没言者。此有深意。以众生本来有取着之心。以是因缘系属于魔。生死不绝。若轮常转。不悟中道佛性正观般若。今若复作一途实说。则更增其依着之心。所以不定出没。动其生死根识令迥悟正法。故不定之说为益深矣。若学者定执经论一文以成一家之义者。皆是系属魔人耳。又众生非一国土一根性一善知识。是故诸佛种种说法也。问已知般若名。云何是般若体。答地论人说。有二种般若。一真修般若。即第八识。二缘修般若。即第七识。成论师言。缘真谛心忘怀绝相。以此解心为般若体。阿毗昙师云。缘四谛理无漏慧相是般若体。此三解即世盛行。具须破洗。至大品玄中广明。但即世多诵此经。今辄言其要句。冀参玄君子领其指外。问今以何为般若。答若行人了悟颠倒。豁然悟解假名般若。问此豁然悟解岂非心耶。答此解悟非心非离心。问云何非心非离心。答既言心悟解。岂离心耶。此悟心毕竟不起有心无心。岂即心耶。问若言心悟还是即心。若言悟此心不得心有无。便是离心。答犹言即离。还是不悟。如其得悟竟有何即离。问既不即离应不迷悟。答迷故言其即离。悟故了无即离。既不即离竟复何有迷悟耶。可取其意。勿着其言也。第四释波罗蜜。波罗蜜此云彼岸到。外国风俗法凡作一事究竟名波罗蜜。今悟道之人虽复积功累劫。若不得般若为行不成。若悟般若万行周毕。故名波罗蜜般若问既有彼岸。云何为此岸及中流耶。答圣人直假名说彼岸。令其因此悟入。何必须作此岸彼岸中流耶。大经云。虽无此岸而有彼岸。即其事也。必须作者。大智论云。有无见为此岸。破有无见智慧为彼岸。檀为中流。第五释经。经有三种。或文为经。或理为经。或文理合为经。地论师云。三十心前人文为经。三十心文理合为经。初地已去用理为经。今明文理因缘故为经。因文悟道故。以能表之文为经也

Seventh interpretation.Ask the Great Compassionate Bhikkhuni, the last record of the original vows.The Vajra Prajna has eight volumes.Today, there is only one grade of merit and virtue.What is the matter.The answer is no answer.So what.This volume has three translators.The first one was turned over in Xiaoyao Garden in the fourth year of Master Luo Shi Hongshi.If there are eight volumes, why not translate them.The Tripitaka of the two streams is repeated in this land.There are three volumes of the scriptures and theories.And by the chapter of the Long Believers.On interpretation always.The matter is over.At the beginning, it was the righteousness of the origin of the Ming scriptures and the return of respect.At the end, it expresses joy and praises merits and virtues.If there are eight volumes, why stop explaining one product.The Tripitaka of the Three Truths was re-translated in Lingnan.There are eight volumes of Wen Xiaoyi Guangbuyun.And this scripture is in full flow.How can you stop talking.Ask the Great Compassionate Bhikkhuni's Original Vow Sutra, and it says again at the end.First talk about great products.The sketch is out of it.Then say praise.The way goes out of it.What is the matter.The answer is yes or no.Daoxingyou is the synonym of Xiaopin.The forefront of the Great Wisdom Theory praises the light and the way.Afterwards, Lie Yun's sketches were praised.Therefore, I know that sketches are different names for Taoism.The preface of Rui Gong's sketch.There are thirty chapters in this scripture.Follow the Tao.Therefore, it is called Taoism.when you know that acting is a skit

The eighth Ming came true.Ask about the benefits of reciting Prajna.This scripture has been popular in China for more than two hundred years.The benefit of the reciter is indescribable.In the past, the mountain monks recited it.A flick of a finger in the air fills the room with a strange fragrance.Master Kaishan also recited it to prolong his life for seven years.And Zhu Shiheng cast a fire with a big product.The fire is extinguished without burning.The benefits are endless.unspecified
