| English | “As for this, Maitreya, which is the bodhisattvas’ realization of the six perfections for the sake of Awakening, those ignorant people will speak as follows. ‘A bodhisattva should train only in the perfection of wisdom, why bother with the remaining perfections.’ They consider the other perfections relating to method to be reprehensible. Is that what you think Ajita? Did he who was the king of Kaśi possess corrupt wisdom, he by whom his own flesh was given to a hawk for the sake of a dove?” Maitreya said, “Definitely not, O Lord!” The Illustrious One said, “Maitreya, with regard to those wholesome roots (of action) linked to the six perfections that I accumulated by following the bodhisattvas’ course, was any harm done by those wholesome roots?” Maitreya said, “Indeed not, O Lord!” The Illustrious One said, “You, Ajita, practiced for sixty aeons the perfection of giving, for sixty aeons the perfection of morality, for sixty aeons the perfection of patience, for sixty aeons the perfection of effort, for sixty aeons the perfection of dhyāna, for sixty aeons the perfection of wisdom. Therefore (it is only) those who are ignorant who say, ‘Awakening is only reached by a single way, that is, by the way of emptiness. Their practice is not completely pure.’” |
