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.

是時維摩詰 即如其像三昧正受 念是比丘宿命  已於五百佛立德本 在無上正真道 已分布因其道意而為解說  即時諸比丘稽首禮維摩詰足 已為說如是法 皆得不退轉  自從是來 我念弟子未觀察人者 不可為說法 所以者何 不能常定意根原知本德如佛世尊 
時維摩詰即入三昧 令此比丘自識宿命  曾於五百佛所植眾德本 迴向阿耨多羅三藐三菩提 即時豁然還得本心  於是諸比丘稽首禮維摩詰足 時維摩詰因為說法 於阿耨多羅三藐三菩提不復退轉  我念聲聞不觀人根不應說法 
時無垢稱 便以如是勝三摩地 令諸苾芻隨憶無量宿住差別  曾於過去五百佛所種諸善根 積習無量殊勝功德 迴向無上正等覺心 隨憶如是宿住事已 求菩提心 還現在前  即便稽首彼大士足 時無垢稱因為說法 令於無上正等菩提不復退轉  時我世尊 作如是念 諸聲聞人不知有情根性差別 不白如來不應輒爾為他說法 所以者何 諸聲聞人不知有情諸根勝劣 非常在定如佛世尊

At that moment, the Licchavi Vimalakīrti entered into such a concentration that those monks were caused to remember their various former existences  in which they had produced the roots of virtue by serving five hundred Buddhas for the sake of perfect enlightenment. As soon as their own spirits of enlightenment had become clear to them  they bowed at the feet of that good man and pressed their palms together in reverence. He taught them the Dharma, and they all attained the stage of irreversibility from the spirit of unexcelled, perfect enlightenment.  It occurred to me then, The disciples, who do not know the thoughts or the inclinations of others, are not able to teach the Dharma to anyone. Why? These disciples are not expert in discerning the superiority and inferiority of the spiritual faculties of living beings, and they are not always in a state of concentration like the Tathāgata, the Saint, the perfectly accomplished Buddha.
