金 剛 經 導 讀

金剛般若波羅蜜經  姚秦  鳩摩羅什  譯

佛告須菩提：「諸菩薩摩訶薩應如是降伏其心！所有一切眾生之類，若卵生、若胎生、若濕生、若化生；若有色、若無色；若有想、若無想、若非有想非無想，我皆令入無餘涅槃而滅度之。如是滅度無量無數無邊眾生，實無眾生得滅度者。何以故？須菩提！若菩薩有我相、人相、眾生相、壽者相，即非菩薩。」

能斷金剛般若波羅蜜多經  唐  玄奘  譯 

佛言：「善現！諸有發趣菩薩乘者，應當發起如是之心：『所有諸有情，有情攝所攝：若卵生、若胎生、若濕生、若化生，若有色、若無色，若有想、若無想，若非有想非無想，乃至有情界施設所施設，如是一切，我當皆令於無餘依妙涅槃界而般涅槃。雖度如是無量有情令滅度已，而無有情得滅度者。』

何以故？善現！若諸菩薩摩訶薩有情想轉，不應說名菩薩摩訶薩。所以者何？善現！若諸菩薩摩訶薩不應說言有情想轉，如是命者想、士夫想、補特伽羅想、意生想、摩納婆想、作者想、受者想轉，當知亦爾。何以故？善現！無有少法名為發趣菩薩乘者。

佛說能斷金剛般若波羅蜜多經  唐  義淨  譯

佛告妙生：「若有發趣菩薩乘者，當生如是心：所有一切眾生之類，若卵生、胎生、濕生、化生，若有色、無色，有想、無想，非有想、非無想，盡諸世界所有眾生，如是一切，我皆令入無餘涅槃而滅度之。雖令如是無量眾生證圓寂已，而無有一眾生入圓寂者。

何以故？妙生！若菩薩有眾生想者，則不名菩薩。所以者何？由有我想、眾生想、壽者想、更求趣想故。

金剛般若波羅蜜經  陳  真諦  譯 

佛告須菩提：「須菩提！若善男子善女人，發菩提心，行菩薩乘，應如是發心：所有一切眾生類攝，若卵生、若胎生、若濕生、若化生，若有色、若無色，若有想、若無想，若非有想、若非無想，乃至眾生界，及假名說。如是眾生，我皆安置於無餘涅槃。如是般涅槃無量眾生已，無一眾生被涅槃者。

何以故？須菩提！若菩薩有眾生想，即不應說名為菩薩。何以故？須菩提！一切菩薩，無我想、眾生想、壽者想、受者想。

Diamond Cutter  孔茲  英譯

The Lord said: Here, Subhuti, someone who has set out in the vehicle of a Bodhisattva should produce a thought in this manner: 'As many beings as there are in the universe of beings, comprehended under the term "beings" egg-born, born from a womb, moisture-born, or miraculously born; with or without form; with perception, without perception, and with neither perception nor non-perception, as far as any conceivable form of beings is conceived: all these I must lead to Nirvana, into that Realm of Nirvana which leaves nothing behind. And yet, although innumerable beings have thus been led to Nirvana, no being at all has been led to Nirvana.'

And why?If in a Bodhisattva the notion of a 'being' should take place, he could not be called a 'Bodhi-being'. 'And why? He is not to be called a Bodhi-being, in whom the notion of a self or of a being should take place, or the notion of a living soul or of a person.'
