Note on the transliteration:

The transliteration system of the BP/TLB is based on the Unicode/UTF-8 system. However, there may be difficulties with some of the letters – particularly on PC/Windows-based systems, but not so much on the Mac. We have chosen the most accepted older and traditional systems of transliteration against, e.g, Wylie for Tibetan, since with Unicode it is possible, in Sanskrit and Tibetan, etc., to represent one sound with one letter in almost all the cases (excepting Sanskrit and Tibetan aspirated letters, and Tibetan tsa, tsha, dza). We thus do not use the Wylie system which widely employs two letters for one sound (ng, ny, sh, zh etc.).

Important:

We ask you in particular to note the use of the ’ apostrophe and not the ' representing the avagrāha in Sanskrit, and most important the ’a-chuṅ in Tibetan. On the Mac the ’ is Alt-M.

2. Rewards of perfect wisdom And the four Great Kings, the World Guardians, will come to the Bodhisattva who trains in this way in the perfection of wisdom, and they will say to him: “Train yourself quickly in this course of a Bodhisattva, son of good family! Nimbly train yourself! Here are the four begging bowls which you shall receive when you are seated on the terrace of enlightenment, as one who then has won full enlightenment.” Not only the four World Guardians will come to the Bodhisattva who trains in perfect wisdom as it has been expounded, but I also, not to mention the other Gods. Constantly also the Tathagatas will bring him to mind. All the worldly ills that might befall the Bodhisattva who courses in perfect wisdom, such as attacks from others, etc., shall be prevented from affecting him in any way. This also, O Lord, is a quality which a Bodhisattva who courses in perfect wisdom gains in this very life.

Ananda thereupon thought: Is this speech of Sakra, Chief of Gods, due to his own insight, or to the Buddha’s might? Sakra, through the Buddha’s might, read his thoughts, and said: To the Buddha’s might, Ananda, to the Buddha’s sustaining power should this be attributed. For I myself (415) am quite incapable of uttering anything relevant on the subject of Bodhisattvas. The Lord: So it is, Ananda. What Sakra, Chief of Gods, has said was due to the Tathagata’s might, to his sustaining power.
