菩薩行
東晉 鳩摩羅什 譯 ( 344~413 )

雖行於空，而植眾德本，是菩薩行；
雖行無相，而廣度眾生，是菩薩行；
雖行無作，而現有受身，是菩薩行。

Practice of the Bodhisattva
Translated into Chinese by Kumarajiva (344 - 413, Eastern Jin Dynasty)
English translation: You Zai, Zhi Yue, and Linda Tsui

Practice in the realm of emptiness,
While cultivating all kinds of virtues,
Such is the practice of the bodhisattva.

Practice in the realm of formlessness,
While delivering all sentient beings,
Such is the practice of the bodhisattva.

Practice in the realm of wishlessness,
While manifesting in the world,
Such is the practice of the bodhisattva.

── from Vimalakirti Nirdesa Sutra
