诸佛唯一佛乘
All Buddhas Only Have The One Buddha Vehicle
如来但以一佛乘故,为众生说法,无有余乘,若二、若三。…
诸佛以方便力,于一佛乘分别说三。…
诸佛如来言无虚妄,无有余乘,唯一佛乘。…
虽示种种道,其实为佛乘。
[三乘为声闻乘、辟支佛乘与菩萨乘。]
释迦牟尼佛
《妙法莲华经》方便品第二
The Thus Come Ones are only with the one Buddha Vehicle thus, for sentient beings speaking the Dharma, without having another vehicle, or two, or three… All Buddhas, with skilful means’ power, for the one Buddha Vehicle, differently speak of three… All Buddha Thus Come Ones’ words are without falsehood, without having other vehicles, only having the one Buddha Vehicle… Although manifesting all kinds of paths, they are truly for the Buddha Vehicle.
[The Three Vehicles are the Voice-Hearer Vehicle, Pratyekabuddha Vehicle and the Bodhisattva Vehicle.]
Śākyamuni Buddha
(Wonderful Dharma Lotus Flower Sūtra’s Second Chapter On Skilful Means)
唯一佛乘偈
Verses On The Only One Buddha Vehicle
唯求人天福,无有出离心。
无成声闻心,更无菩萨心。
To only seek human and heavenly blessings, is without having Renunciation’s Mind. Without accomplishing Voice-Hearer’s Mind, further without Bodhisattva’s Mind.
唯求成声闻,无成菩萨心。
唯求成菩萨,无有成佛心。
To only seek accomplishing as a Voice-Hearer, is without accomplishing Bodhisattva’s Mind. To only seek accomplishing as a Bodhisattva, is without having accomplishing Buddha’s Mind.
诸佛言无妄,三乘皆方便。
无有其余乘,真唯一佛乘。
All Buddhas’ words are without falsehood, that the Three Vehicles are all skilful means. Without having other vehicles, there is truly only the one Buddha Vehicle.
