注，什么是忍渡？学习是一种变成，是变成所学的过程。此变化过程中，体内生长新事物，人会感觉痛苦，所以需要忍耐。忍是人生成功旅途中的舟车桥梁，无忍则不达，不可或缺，佛教因此而设立了忍渡。忍渡亦作人样儿，八大人，八大金刚，八忍地，八中洲等，如插图11-18。
Annotation, what is Countenance Ark? Learning is a kind of becoming, the process of becoming what you have learned. During this process of change, new things grow in the body, and people feel pain, so countenance is required. Countenance is the ark, car, and bridge in the journey of success in life. Without countenance, there is no arrival, it is indispensable; therefore, Buddhism established the Countenance Ark. Countenance Ark is also called Human Appearance, Eight Great Humans, Eight Great Philosopher’s Stones, Eight Countenance Lands, Eight Middle Continents, etc., as shown in illustrations 11-18.
 
怎么忍渡的象征图看起来像似“女娲之肠”？答：就是！这图是墨西哥雨神特拉洛克（即金童，亚当）画的。他的故事中，此时的他是“寻香”，是去找翠玉女（即玉女，夏娃，众生之母，如插图11右）投胎的路上。那特拉洛克怎么跑进翠玉女的肚子里了？答：是宗教寓言，是说他被翠玉女刺激伤了，就再也出不了她女神的法界了。古墨西哥人认为天是翠玉女的子宫，他们都是翠玉女的孩子。另外，胃肠是最能体现情感的器官，是忍耐的承受者。
Why does the icon of Countenance Ark look like "Eve's Intestines"? Answer: Yes! This picture was drawn by Mexican god of rain, Tlaloc (that is, the golden boy, Adam). In his story, he is "Perfume Seeker" at this time, on his way to find Chalchiuhtlicue (that is, Jade Girl, Eve, the mother of all living beings, as shown in Illustration 11 right) to be reborn. How did Tlaloc get into Chalchiuhtlicue’s belly? Answer: It is a religious fable, which means that he was injured by Chalchiuhtlicue, therefore he can not get out her goddess' juristic boundary. Also, ancient Mexicans believed that the sky was Chalchiuhtlicue’s womb, and they all were her children. In addition, the stomach and intestines are the organs that best embody emotions and are the bearer of countenance.
10 少欲功德 Virtue of Less desire
汝等僧尼！谄曲之心与道相违，是故宜应质直其心。当知谄曲，但为欺诳，入道之人，则无是处，是故汝等，宜当端心，以质直心为本。
You kinds of monks and nuns! A flattering heart is contradictory to path (path means Path Crux); it is better straight one’s heart. Should know that flattering is only deceit, as a path (path means Path Crux) walker, should not be like that, therefore you kinds should rectify your heart, by straight forward heart as orientation.
汝等僧尼，当知多欲之人，多求利故，苦恼亦多; 少欲之人，无求无欲，则无此患。直尔少欲，尚宜修习，何况少欲，能生诸功德。少欲之人，则无谄曲以求人意，亦复不为诸根所牵。行少欲者，心则坦然，无所忧畏，触事有余，常无不足。有少欲者，则有涅盘，是名少欲。
You kinds of monks and nuns! Should know that people who desire more, seek more profits, have many annoyances; people who desire less, seek less, have no such afflictions. Straight forward and less desire are more than appropriate to practice, not to mention that less desires can give birth to achievements and virtues. People with few desires will not flatter others to seek favors, nor will they be led by five roots (i.e., eye-root, ear-root, nose-root, tongue-root, body-root). People with less desire have a calm heart, worriless and fearless; when they meet affairs, always have more than enough, no shortage. People with less desire, will have nirvana, hence name of Less Desire.
11 知足功德 Virtue of Contentment
汝等僧尼！若欲脱诸苦恼，当观知足。知足之法，即是当乐安隐之处。知足之人，虽卧地上，犹为安乐；不知足者，虽处天堂，亦不称意。不知足者，虽富而贫；知足之人，虽贫而富。不知足者，常为五欲所牵，为知足者之所怜愍，是名知足。
You kinds of monks and nuns, want to detach from bitter annoyances, should view contentment. The law of contentment is a should be happy with seclusive place. Person with contentment, even though they lie on ground, also feel adaptably ease; people without contentment, even though they are in heaven, also feel disagreeable. People without contentment, even though are rich, but they live in poverty; people with contentment, even though are in poverty, but they live in richness. People without contentment often lead by five desires (i.e., color-desire, sound-desire, perfume-desire, taste-desire, and bodily touch desire); they are pitiable by people with contentment, hence name of Contentment.
 
注11，知足亦作如意，如图。
Annotation 11, contentment is also called As-Wish.
12 远离功德 Virtue of Hike
汝等僧尼！欲求寂静无为（注12）安乐，当离愦闹，独处闲居。静处之人，帝释诸天，所共敬重，是故当舍己众他众，空闲独处，思灭苦本。若乐众者，则受众恼，譬如大树众鸟集之，则有枯折之患。世间缚者，没於众苦，譬如老象溺泥，不能自出，是名远离。
You wait for monks and nuns! Hopefully seek quite non-as (annotation 12) leisurely life, should stay away from the noise, and live seclusively. People at quiet place, are respected by Seth etc., all skies, therefore, should abandon self-crowds and other crowds, leisurely live alone, mean how to terminate bitter roots. People who laugh at crowds, bear crowds annoyances, such as big tree where crowd birds gather, then there are worries of withered broken branch. Mundane beings are fettered up, submerge in crowds of bitterness, such like an old elephant stuck in mud, can not come out by himself, hence name of Hike.
注12，无为法，参见11.6.4 离系果 Off-Be Fruit (https://web.6parkbbs.com/index.php?app=forum&act=view&tid=3499561).
Annotation 12, Non-as Law refers to Life Tree’s Off-Be fruit.
13 精进功德 Virtue of Diligence and Effort
汝等僧尼！若勤精进，则事无难者，是故汝等当勤精进。譬如小水长流，则能穿石。若行者之心，数数懈废，譬如钻火，未热而息，虽欲得火，火难可得，是名精进。
You kinds of monks and nuns, if diligently effort, then there is not difficult affair, therefore you kinds should diligently effort. For example, if little water flows for a long time, it can wear stones. If migrator’s heart slack time by time, likes to get fire by drilling into wood. Before wood is heated enough, the driller has a brake; even though the driller desires fire, but fire is hard to gain, hence name of Effort.
 
注13，精进也是六渡之一，亦作勤渡。
Annotation 13, effort is also one of six arks, is called Effort Ark or Diligence Ark.
14 守念功德 Virtue of Hold Spell
汝等僧尼！求善知识，求善护助，无如不忘念。若有不忘念者，诸烦恼贼则不能入，是故汝等，常当摄念在心。若失念者，则失诸功德。若念力坚强，虽入五欲贼中，不为所害。譬如著铠入阵，则无所畏，是名不忘念。
You kinds of monks and nuns, seek for benevolent knowledge, pursue benevolent protect and help, is inferior to not forgetting spell. People who can hold spell, then those thieves of annoyances can not enter, therefore you kinds should assimilate spell into heart constantly. If lost spell, then lost achievements and virtues. With strong spell power, even though enter thieves of five desires, wouldn’t be harmed. Such as wearing armor to enter battle, nothing to fear, hence name of Hold Spell. 
15 禅定功德 Virtue of Meditational Stillness
汝等僧尼！若摄心者，心则在定。心在定故，能知世间生灭法相，是故汝等，常当精勤修习诸定。若得定者，心则不散，譬如惜水之家，善治堤塘。行者亦尔，为智慧水故，善修禅定，令不漏失，是名为定。
You kinds of monks and nuns! People who assimilate heart, hearts are in stillness constantly. Because of heart in stillness, capable of knowing birth extinction etc. juristic phenomena of mundane world, therefore you kinds etc. should constantly diligently put effort in practicing all types of stillness. People who gain stillness, heart is not loose, such as family that cherish water, is good at managing pond dam. Migrants are also like that, for water of intelligence and gnosis, they excel meditation and stillness, have gnostic water not leaked lost, hence name of Stillness.
 
注15，禅，是六渡之一，即禅渡，参见第12章。定，参见📖16.3 发光地 Glorying Heartland
Annotation 15, meditation is Meditation Ark, refers to chapter 12. Stillness refers to section 16.3 Glorying Heartland.
16 智慧功德 Virtue of Intelligence and Gnosis
汝等僧尼！若有智慧，则无贪著。常自省察，不令有失，是则於我法中，能得解脱。若不尔者，既非道人，又非白衣，无所名也。实智慧者，则是度老病死海坚牢船也，亦是无明黑暗大明灯也，一切病者之良药也，伐烦恼树之利斧也，是故汝等，当以闻思修慧而自增益。若人有智慧之照，虽是肉眼，而是明见人也，是名智慧。
You kinds of monks and nuns! If with intelligence and gnosis, then not greedily lingering. Often self check, not let it be, then you can unfetter in I law (annotation 16). If not, neither path walker nor white collar, can not be named. Very factual intelligence and gnosis, then are solid ark to ferry over older illness and death sea, also are great light in ignorant darkness, good medicine for all illnesses, sharp ax for chopping down annoyances trees, therefore you kinds etc. should by hearing meaning cultivation gnosis to self increase benefits. If people with illumination of intelligence and gnosis, even though only with flesh eye, also are people with bright vision, hence name of Intelligence Gnosis.
 
注16，此智慧即慧渡，亦作到达方舟，如图。闻思修慧，此中，闻、思、修是三种获得慧的渠道。
Annotation 16, the intelligence, and gnosis are Gnostic Ark, alias Arrival Ark, see illustration. Hearing meaning cultivation gnosis, among this, Hearing, mean-ing, and cultivation are three ways to gain gnosis.
17 毕竟功德 Virtue of Finalization
汝等僧尼！若种种戏论，其心则乱，虽复出家，犹未得脱，是故比丘，当急舍离乱心戏论。若汝欲得寂灭乐者，唯当善灭戏论之患，是名不戏论。
You kinds of monks and nuns! If meet kinds of gamely theses, hearts are disturbed into chaos, even come out household life again, can not gain liberation, therefore you kinds of monks and nuns, should speedily leave muddle heart gamely theses. If you desire to gain silent extinctive laugh, only should be good at terminating faults of gamely theses, hence name of No Gamely Theses.
汝等僧尼！於诸功德，常当一心，舍诸放逸，如离怨贼。大悲世尊，所说利益，皆已究竟。汝等但当勤而行之。若於山间，若空泽中，若在树下，闲处静室，念所受法，勿令忘失，常当自勉，精进修之，无为空死，後致有悔。我如良医！知病说药，服与不服，非医咎也。又如善导，导人善道，闻之不行，非导过也。汝等若於苦等四谛有所疑者，可疾问之，毋得怀疑，不求决也。尔时世尊，如是三唱，人无问者，所以者何？众无疑故。
You kinds of monks and nuns! Should always be one heart with achievements and virtues, abandon lax like leaving resentful thieves. Great Sorrowful Social Honor said benefits, all have been finalized, you kinds should only diligently practice it. Such as in the mountains, in empty swamp, under a tree, or in a quiet room, recite what laws you have received, have them not forgotten, constantly encourage yourself, diligently put efforts to practice it, do not be death in vain, or regret later. I am like a good doctor, knowing illness then speaking of prescriptions; take the medication or not, that is not doctor’s fault. And more, I am like a guide, guide people benevolent path; hearers hear it, not walk on it, that is not guide’s fault. If you etc. whoever has doubt about Bitter Aggregate Salvation and Path, the Four Cruxes, ask quickly, do not bosom doubt; no ask, this is the end. At that time, Social Honor thus asked three times, nobody asked, why does that? Because crowds have no suspicion.
时萨鲁-法索罗（注，即法会的主持人），观察众心，而白佛言：世尊！月可令热，日可令冷，佛说四谛，不可令异。佛说苦谛实苦，不可令乐。集真是因，更无异因。苦若灭者，即是因灭；因灭故果灭，灭苦之道，实是真道。更无余道。
Then Sal Fasullo (that is manager of the ritual) investigated hearts of crowds and reported to Buddha: Social Honor! Moon can be made hot; sun can be made cold. Four Cruxes spoken by Buddha, shall not have it be different. Buddha said that Bitter Crux is factual bitterness, shall not make it laugh. Aggregate Crux is reason of Bitter, no more alien reason. If bitter is terminated, that is termination of reason. Reason is terminated, therefore fruit fades, the Path of terminating bitterness is factual Path, no more extra path.
世尊！是诸比丘，於四谛中，决定无疑。於此众中，所作未办者，见佛灭度，当有悲感。若有初入法者，闻佛所说，即皆得度，譬如夜见电光，即得见道。若所作已办，已度苦海者，但作是念：世尊灭度，一何疾哉！鲁-法索罗虽说此语，众中皆悉了达四圣谛义。
Social Honor! We monks and nuns resolutely have no doubt about Four Cruxes. Among the crowds, there are what are doing have not done yet, see Buddha’s extinctive ferry, should have sorrow. If there are new juristic entrants, heard what Buddha said, immediately all gain ferry, such as appearance of lightning in night, instantly sees their path. Those what should do have been done, already ferried over the bitter sea, only make the spell:  Social Honor extinction ferry, what a rush! Even though Sal Fasullo only spoke of these words, among crowds, all understood the significance of Four Cruxes completely.
注17，苦谛参见第13章，集谛参见第14章，灭谛参见第15章，道谛参见第16章。
Annotation 17, Bitter Crux refers to chapter 13, Aggregate Crux refers to chapter 14, Salvation Crux refers to chapter 15, Path Crux refers to chapter 16.
