 Posted: Wed Aug 13, 2008 7:53 am Post subject: Transliteration of Diamond Sutra text |
 |
|
Hello all,
I am hoping that someone can help me to find an English transliteration of
some text at the end of the Diamond Sutra. A transliteration from either
the Chinese version or the Tibetan version would be welcome; to be clear,
though, I am looking for a transliteration and not a translation.
The passage reads as follows in English:
Thus shall ye think of all this fleeting world:
A star at dawn, a bubble in a stream;
A flash of lightning in a summer cloud,
A flickering lamp, a phantom, and a dream. [1]
or
All conditioned phenomena
Are like a dream, an illusion, a bubble, a shadow
Like the dew, or like lightning
You should discern them like this [2]
According to [2], the Chinese source text for this entire section is
須菩提、若有人以滿無量阿僧祇世界七寶持用布施。若有善男子善女人發菩薩心者。
持於此經乃至四句偈等。受持讀誦爲人演說其福勝彼。云何爲人演說。
不取於相如如不動。何以故一切有爲法 如夢幻泡影如露亦如電應作如是觀佛說是經已。
長老須菩提及諸比丘比丘尼優婆塞優婆夷、一切世間天人阿修羅。聞佛所說皆大歡喜。
信受奉行金剛般若波羅蜜經
I appreciate any help with this endeavor!
