尔时观世音菩萨,即从座起,顶礼佛足,而白佛言:「世尊,忆念我昔无数恒河沙劫,于时有佛出现于世,名观世音。
At that time, Contemplator [Of The] World’s Sounds Bodhisattva, immediately from [his] seat arose, prostrated [at the] Buddha’s feet, and [to the] Buddha said, ‘World-Honoured [One], I remember [that in] past innumerable Ganges rivers’ sands [of] kalpas [ago], at that time, [there] was [a] Buddha [who] appeared in [the] world, named “Contemplator [Of The] World’s Sounds”.
我于彼佛发菩提心。彼佛教我从闻思修,入三摩地。
I went [to] that Buddha, [to] give rise [to the] Bodhi Mind. That Buddha taught me [to], from hearing, contemplating [and] cultivating, enter Samādhi.
初于闻中,入流亡所。所入既寂,动静二相,了然不生。
First from hearing within, enter [the] flow [and] not have that [heard. With] that [heard and the] entered already still, [of] movement [and] stillness, [these] two characteristics, understand clearly [that they do] not arise.
如是渐增,闻所闻尽。
Thus gradually [and] increasingly, [with] hearing [and] that heard ended.
尽闻不住,觉所觉空。
[With] ending [of] hearing not abided [upon], awareness [and] that aware [of “become”] empty.
空觉极圆,空所空灭。
[With] emptiness’ awakening utmost [and] complete, emptiness [and] that empty cease.
生灭既灭,寂灭现前。
[With] arising [and] ceasing already ceased, stillness [and] extinguishment [i.e. Nirvāṇa] manifest [in the] present.
忽然超越世出世间,十方圆明,获二殊胜。
Suddenly surpassing [the] worldly [and] world-transcending, [with the] ten directions completely clear, [I] obtained two excellences.
一者,上合十方诸佛本妙觉心,与佛如来同一慈力。
First, uniting above [with the] ten directions’ all Buddhas’ fundamental wonderfully awakened minds, with [the] Buddha Thus Come [Ones, of the] same one power [of] loving-kindness.
二者,下合十方一切六道众生,与诸众生同一悲仰。」
