善現啟請分第二

時，長老須菩提在大眾中即從座起，偏袒右肩，右膝著地，合掌恭敬而白佛言：「希有！世尊！如來善護念諸菩薩，善付囑諸菩薩。世尊！善男子、善女人，發阿耨多羅三藐三菩提心，應云何住？云何降伏其心？」

At that time the Venerable Subhuti came to that assembly, and sat down. Then he rose from his seat, put his upper robe over one shoulder, placed his right knee on the ground, bent forth his folded hands towards the Lord, and said to the Lord: 'It is wonderful O Lord, it is exceedingly wonderful, O Well-Gone, how much the Bodhisattvas, the great beings, have been helped with the greatest help by the Tathagata, the Arhat, the Fully Enlightened One. It is wonderful, O Lord, how much the Bodhisattvas, the great beings, have been favoured with the highest favour by the Tathagata, the Arha, the Fully Enlightened One. How then, O Lord, should a son or daughter of good family, who have set out in the Bodhisattva-vehicle, stand, how progress, how control their thoughts?

那時候，大比丘眾中，有一位長老叫做須菩提，從自己的座位上站了起來。他披著袈裟，偏袒右肩，走到佛陀的面前，右膝跪地，合起手掌，恭恭敬敬地向佛陀稟白，請求開示：「希有的世尊！如來您向來善於護持顧念諸菩薩眾，而且善於教導叮嚀諸菩薩眾。世尊！世間的善男子、善女人，如果想要發心追求無上正等正覺，如何才能使發起的菩提心安住？要怎樣做才能降伏妄想的妄心？」
