是故，胜鬘！当以摄受正法，开示众生、教化众生、建立众生。如是，胜鬘！摄受正法如是大利，如是大福，如是大果；胜鬘！我于阿僧祇、阿僧祇劫，说摄受正法功德义利，不得边际；是故摄受正法，有无量无边功德。

　　Therefore, Queen Srimala, you should embrace the trueDharma in order to reveal the truth to sentient beings, toteach and guide them towards enlightenment, and toestablish them in the Dharma. Queen Srimala, such way ofembracing the true Dharma will bring forth such greatbenefits, great merits, and great effects. Queen Srimala,even if I spent asamkhyas and asamkhyas of eons toelaborate on the functions and benefits of embracing thetrue Dharma, I could not fully explain their significanceand advantages. Therefore, embracing the true Dharmawill generate immeasurable and innumerable functions andbenefits

　　因此摄受正法有两个层面：第一、你所摄受的法必定是正法：因地所证的心必定是果地觉时的同一个心，不能以因地意识心而想要变成未来果地觉的无垢识真如。如果因地所证的真心，不是果地所觉悟的同一个真心，就是悟错了。第二、一定是为了摄受众生的心态，以这个摄受众生的慈悲心去摄受正法，所摄受的正法都是为了利益众生，这样才是真正的摄受正法。

　　Therefore, there are two aspects to consider in theembracement of the true Dharma. First, the Dharma thatyou embrace must correspond to the truth. The mindrealized in the causal stage must be identical to the oneattained upon enlightenment in the fruition stage; youcannot possibly convert the conscious mind of the causalstage into the True Suchness─the Undefiled Vijnana─tobe realized upon future enlightenment in the fruition stage.If the true minds attained in those two stages weredifferent, then your realization must be erroneous. Second,you must embrace the true Dharma with a view to helpingand guiding sentient beings, with a compassionate mindentirely directed to their benefits; only then will you beembracing the true Dharma in the correct way.
