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.

§1 atha khalu mañjuśrīḥ kumārabhūto vimalakīrtiṃ licchavim etad avocat:  kathaṃ satpuruṣa bodhisatvena sarvasatvā avekṣitavyāḥ |  tadyathā mañjuśrīḥ māyākāro māyākāranirmitaṃ puruṣam avekṣeta, evaṃ bodhisatvena sarvasatvā avekṣitavyāḥ | 
於是文殊師利問維摩詰言  菩薩何以觀察人物  答曰 譬如幻者見幻事相 菩薩觀人物為若此 
爾時文殊師利問維摩詰言  菩薩云何觀於眾生  維摩詰言 譬如幻師見所幻人 菩薩觀眾生為若此 
時妙吉祥 問無垢稱  云何菩薩觀諸有情  無垢稱言 譬如幻師觀所幻事 如是菩薩 應正觀察一切有情

Thereupon, Mañjuśrī, the crown prince, addressed the Licchavi Vimalakīrti:  "Good sir, how should a bodhisattva regard all living beings?"  Vimalakīrti replied, "Mañjuśrī, a bodhisattva should regard all livings beings (as a wise man regards the reflection of the moon in water or) as magicians regard men created by magic.

(Vimalakīrti replied, "Mañjuśrī, a bodhisattva should regard all livings beings )as a wise man regards the reflection of the moon in water (or as magicians regard men created by magic).    (He should regard them as being )like a face in a mirror;  He should regard them as being (like a face in a mirror; )  like the water of a mirage;    disorder, see above  like the sound of an echo;    like a mass of clouds in the sky;    like the previous moment of a ball of foam;    like the appearance and disappearance of a bubble of water;    like the core of a plantain tree;    like a flash of lightning;    like the fifth great element;      like the seventh sense-medium;      like the appearance of matter in an immaterial realm;    like a sprout from a rotten seed;    like a tortoise-hair coat;    like the fun of games for one who wishes to die;    like the egoistic views of a stream-winner;    like a third rebirth of a once-returner;    like the descent of a nonreturner into a womb;    like the existence of desire, hatred, and folly in a saint;    like thoughts of avarice, immorality, wickedness, and hostility in a bodhisattva who has attained tolerance;    like the instincts of passions in a Tathāgata;    like the perception of color in one blind from birth;    like the inhalation and exhalation of an ascetic absorbed in the meditation of cessation;    like the track of a bird in the sky;    like the erection of a eunuch;    like the pregnancy of a barren woman;    like the unproduced passions of an emanated incarnation of the Tathāgata;    like dream-visions seen after waking;    like the passions of one who is free of conceptualizations;    like fire burning without fuel;    like the reincarnation of one who has attained ultimate liberation.    "Precisely thus, Mañjuśrī, does a bodhisattva who realizes the ultimate selflessness consider all beings."
