「须菩提！若有善男子、善女人，初日分以恒河沙等身布施，中日分复以恒河沙等身布施，后日分亦以恒河沙等身布施，如是无量百千万亿劫以身布施；若复有人，闻此经典，信心不逆，其福胜彼，何况书写、受持、读诵、为人解说。须菩提！以要言之，是经有不可思议、不可称量、无边功德。如来为发大乘者说，为发最上乘者说。若有人能受持读诵，广为人说，如来悉知是人，悉见是人，皆得成就不可量、不可称、无有边、不可思议功德。如是人等，则为荷担如来阿耨多罗三藐三菩提。」
逐句解释
初日分、中日分、后日分，以恒河沙等身布施，无量百千万亿劫
早上、中午、晚上，每天三次，每次都用恒河沙数量的生命去布施——持续无量亿劫（一劫是一个宇宙循环的时间）。这已经是最极端的有为布施想象。但接下来，佛陀再次说：听到这部经，信心不逆，其福胜彼。
Three times each day, sacrificing as many lives as Ganges grains of sand, across countless aeons
Each kalpa (劫) is an unimaginably long unit of cosmic time — the duration of one cycle of a universe. Across countless such aeons, three times per day, sacrificing Ganges-grain-numbers of lives each time. This is the ultimate escalation of the merit comparison: not just treasure, not just one's own life once, but every imaginable form of selfless sacrifice repeated across cosmological time. And still, the merit of genuine faith in this sutra surpasses it. The point is not mathematical — it is a statement about the nature of wisdom: no amount of conditioned action can substitute for a direct encounter with unconditioned reality.
是经有不可思议、不可称量、无边功德
这部经的功德，是不可思议（超越思维）、不可称量（无法用数字衡量）、无边（没有边界）的。这三个形容词指向同一件事：般若智慧不属于条件世界，所以无法用条件世界的尺度来衡量它的价值。
This sutra has merit that is inconceivable, immeasurable, and boundless
Three superlatives: inconceivable (不可思议) — beyond the reach of discursive thought; immeasurable (不可称量) — no unit of measurement applies; boundless (无边) — no edge, no limit. These are not expressions of enthusiasm; they are precise descriptions of the unconditioned. The conditioned world operates through measurement, comparison, and boundary. Wisdom that touches the unconditioned simply does not fit those categories. You cannot weigh it, count it, or draw a line around it. That is precisely what makes it transformative: it is the one thing that is not limited by the conditions that limit everything else.
如是人等，则为荷担如来阿耨多罗三藐三菩提
「荷担」是担负、承载的意思。能够受持读诵这部经并广为讲说的人，就是在承担、传递如来的无上觉悟——他们成为了这个智慧在世间的载体。这不是一种特权，而是一种责任：你理解了多少，就有责任传递多少。
Such people bear and carry the Tathagata's unsurpassed enlightenment
To 'bear and carry' (荷担) is a beautifully physical image — like carrying something heavy on your shoulders, walking it from one place to another. Those who receive this wisdom and pass it on are carrying the Buddha's enlightenment through time and space. They become the living vehicle of the teaching. This is the Mahayana vision of the bodhisattva's role: not just to be personally liberated, but to be a conduit — to let the wisdom move through you into the world. Understanding creates responsibility.
总结 · Summary
第十五章以最极端的方式重申：无量亿劫中每天三次牺牲无数生命的布施，其福德不及听到这部经而信心不逆。这部经的功德，不可思议、不可称量、无边无际——因为它触及的是无为的实相，而非有为的积累。能受持传播这部经的人，就是在承担如来的觉悟，把智慧带入世间。
Chapter 15 completes the sutra's long series of merit comparisons with its most extreme version: lifetimes of total self-sacrifice cannot match the merit of genuine faith in this teaching. The sutra's merit is inconceivable, immeasurable, and boundless — properties of the unconditioned that no conditioned action can produce. And those who receive and transmit this wisdom become carriers of the Buddha's enlightenment across time — bearers of something that cannot be hoarded, only passed on.
