[善财童子五十三参][English] 第四十五回 拜遍友童子师
“善男子！我唯知此善知众艺菩萨解脱。如诸菩萨摩诃萨，能于一切世、出世间善巧之法，以智通达到于彼岸；殊方异艺，咸综无遗；文字、算数，蕴其深解；医方、咒术，善疗众病；有诸众生，鬼魅所持，怨憎咒诅，恶星变怪，死尸奔逐，癫痫、羸瘦，种种诸疾，咸能救之，使得痊愈；又善别知金玉、珠贝、珊瑚、琉璃、摩尼、砗磲、鸡萨罗等一切宝藏，出生之处，品类不同，价直多少；村营乡邑、大小都城、宫殿苑园、岩泉薮泽，凡是一切人众所居，菩萨咸能随方摄护；又善观察天文地理、人相吉凶、鸟兽音声、云霞气候、年谷丰俭、国土安危，如是世间所有技艺，莫不该练，尽其源本；又能分别出世之法，正名辨义，观察体相，随顺修行，智入其中，无疑、无碍、无愚暗、无顽钝、无忧恼、无沉没、无不现证。而我云何能知能说彼功德行？
“As I pronounce the phonemes, I enter immeasurable, innumerable doors of transcendent wisdom, beginning with these forty-two. I have attained this enlightening liberation with higher knowledge of arts, and it is this I know. How can I know the practice or tell the virtues of enlightening beings who have attained perfection of all mundane and transcendental arts, inasmuch as they have no barrier, no doubt, no confusion, no uncertainty, no hesitation, no ignorance, no difficulty, no impairment, no frustration, no lack of knowledge, and no misunderstanding in regard to the subject matters of all arts—all writing and mathematics, all applied sciences of spells and herbs, all the bases of obsession, psychotherapy, epilepsy, lameness, and insanity, the science of compounding medicines, chemistry, mineralogy, the making of parks, groves, villages, towns, and cities, knowledge of the vicissitudes of the world through astronomy, physiognomy, geomancy, meteorology, agronomy, and prediction of trends of events, and the analysis, communication, understanding, and actualization of all transmundane phenomena.
