　　The Discourse On The Ten Wholesome Ways Of Action

　　佛說十善業道經

　　唐于阗叁藏法師實叉難陀

　　Thus have I heard:

　　如是我聞。

　　At one time, the Buddha stayed in the palace of the Dragon King of the Ocean together with an assembly of eight thousand great Bhikshus and thirty-two thousand Bodhisattvas and Mahasattvas altogether. At that time the World Honored One told the Dragon King saying:

　　一時，佛在娑竭羅龍宮，與八千大比丘衆、叁萬二千菩薩摩诃薩俱。爾時，世尊告龍王言。

　　Because all beings have different consciousness and thoughts, they perform. too different actions and as a consequence there is the turning around in all the different courses of existence. Oh Dragon King, do you see the variety of shapes and appearances in this meeting and in the great ocean, are they not different from one another.

　　一切衆生，心想異故，造業亦異，由是故有諸趣輪轉。龍王，汝見此會及大海中，形色種類，各別不耶？

　　Thus among all of them there is none which is not made by the mind, whether it is brought about by whole-some or unwholesome bodily, verbal, and mental actions, and yet the mind is formless it cannot be grasped or perceived, but it is the unreal accumulation and arising of all dharmas which are ultimately without owner, without I and mine. Although that which is manifested by each (being) according to its actions is not the same, there is nevertheless really no creator in these (actions). Therefore all dharmas are inconceivable and inexpressible, their own nature is phantom like. The wise ones knowing this ought to cultivate wholesome actions. Through this the aggregates sense-bases and elements that will be given rise to, will all be upright and those who will see them will not grow tired of them.

　　如是一切，靡不由心，造善不善，身業語業意業所致。而心無色，不可見取，但是虛妄，諸法集起，畢竟無主，無我我所。雖各隨業，所現不同，而實于中，無有作者，故一切法皆不思議。自性如幻，智者知已，應修善業，以是所生蘊處界等，皆悉端正，見者無厭。

　　Oh Dragon King, when you behold the body of the Buddha born from a hundred thousand of Kotis of merit, with all the marks adorned, the splendor of its radiance covering the whole of the great assembly, even if there were immeasurable Kotis of Ishvara and Brahma devas they all would not come again into appearance.

　　龍王，汝觀佛身，從百千億福德所生，諸相莊嚴，光明顯曜，蔽諸大衆，設無量億自在梵王，悉不複現，

　　Those who look with reverence at the Tathágata”s body how can they but not be dazzled. You again behold all these great Bodhisattvas of marvelous appearance, dignified and pure. All this comes into being entirely through the merit of cultivating wholesome actions. Again all the powerful ones like the eight classes of devas and dragons, and suchlike they also come into being because of the merits of wholesome actions.

　　其有瞻仰如來身者，豈不目眩。汝又觀此諸大菩薩，妙色嚴淨，一切皆由修習善業福德而生。又諸天龍八部衆等大威勢者，亦因善業福德所生。

　　Now all beings in the great ocean are of course and mean shapes and appearances, they all whether small or large performed unwholesome bodily, verbal, and mental actions out of all kinds of thoughts from their own minds. Thus is that each being receives its own result according to its action.

　　今大海中所有衆生，形色麤鄙，或大或小，皆由自心種種想念，作身語意諸不善業，是故隨業，各自受報。

　　You ought to practice and to study constantly in this way, and also to bring beings to a thorough understanding of cause and effect and to the practice of wholesome actions.

　　汝今常應如是修學，亦令衆生了達因果，修習善業。

　　In this you must have unshakable right view and you must not fall again into the views of annihilation and eternity. As to the fields of merit you rejoice in them, respect them and support them because of this you will also be respected and supported by men and devas.

　　汝當于此，正見不動，勿複墮在斷常見中，于諸福田，歡喜敬養，是故汝等，亦得人天尊敬供養。

　　Oh Dragon King you must know that Bodhisattva has one method which enables him to cut off all sufferings of evil destinies. What kind of methods is this

　　 It is constantly, day and night, to recollect, to reflect on and to contemplate on the wholesome dharmas so as to cause the wholesome dharmas to increase from thought-moment to thought-moment…
