Complete text

Son of good family, there are eighty¹ ways into those concentrations (samādhimukha), and again each of them has five hundred gates into concentrations; adding all of them together, those will be forty thousand concentrations, and thus those will be eighty thousand concentrations counting impurity and purification (saṃkleśavyavadāna); those will be eighty-four thousand concentrations of knowing the imperishability (akṣayatā) in the past, future, and present. As many as are concentrations, so many are ways into the dharma (dharmamukha), and so many are masses of religious teachings (dharmaskandha). Thus it is said that the Tathāgata explained eighty-four thousand masses of religious teachings (caturaśītidharmaskandhasahasra) for the sake of entering into the eighty-four thousand kinds of behaviour of living beings. This is, son of good family, the summary of the dharma (dharmoddāna) for all beings to know the entrance into the knowledge and practices of the buddha (buddhajñānapracārapraveśa). Since that which is entering into all knowledge of the buddha and all behaviour of living beings is immeasurable and inconceivable, even if your life were to last eight thousand aeons, it would not be easy to express. When this knowledge of the buddha was taught and those gates into concentrations were explained, sixteen thousand bodhisatvas attained the tolerance that all things are unborn (anutpattikadharmakṣānti), which is brought about through the knowledge and concentrations (samādhijñānābhinirhṛta). Eighty-four thousand sons of gods produced the thought of incomparable complete awakening (caturaśītisahasradevaputrā anuttarāyāṃ samyaksaṃbodhau cittāny utpādayanti). Then the Lord applauded the bodhisatva Gaganagañja (atha khalu bhagavān gaganagañjāya bodhisatvāya sādhukāram adāt): “Good man (satpuruṣa), the teaching of this gate into concentration (samādhimukha) was well spoken (subhāṣita) by you. Just as the dharmas are not dependent on others (aparapratyaya) because they are directly perceived by [the senses] of your body (kāyapratyakṣa), in the same way the knowledge of the tathāgata was elucidated - this complete teaching is good, very good.”

善男子如是八十三摩地門。一一皆有五百三摩地門。以爲眷屬合集算計。成於四萬三摩地門。清淨雜染。足爲八萬三摩地門。彼前後中際及無盡智。各有五百三摩地門。并清淨雜染。合成八萬四千三摩地門。乃至如是爾所三摩地。爲爾所法鄡馱南。復成如來八萬四千差別法蘊。由彼有情八萬四千心行別故。善男子根本鄡馱南。令諸有情入佛智行生警悟故。復次一切佛智。入一切有情心行。所説法藏。無量無邊不可思議。非百千劫之所能説。我今於此三摩地門略説少分。説此法時會中有一萬六千菩薩。於三摩地門證無生法忍。八萬四千人天發阿耨多羅三藐三菩提心。爾時世尊讃大虚空藏菩薩言。善哉善哉善男子。快説如是三摩地功徳法門。顯揚如來微妙勝智。而此法門汝身自證。不由他悟。
