無佛離本性空 No Buddhas apart from Emptiness
《大般若波羅蜜多經》雲：
「善現當知！定無諸佛離本性空而出世者，諸佛出世無不皆說本性空義，所化有情要聞佛說本性空理乃入聖道，得聖道果，離本性空無別方便。
是故，善現！諸菩薩摩诃薩欲證無上正等菩提，應正安住本性空理，修行六種波羅蜜多及余菩薩摩诃薩行。若正安住本性空理，修行六種波羅蜜多及余菩薩摩诃薩行，終不退失一切智智，常能利樂一切有情。」
白話翻譯(慧光法師)：
佛說：「須菩提要知道啊！決定沒有諸佛離開本性空而出現在世間的，諸佛出現在世間沒有不皆說本性是空的義理，所教化的眾生要聽聞到本性空的真理才能入於聖道，證得聖道果，離開本性空沒有其他的方法了。所以，須菩提！諸菩薩想要證得無上的智慧，應當要正確地安住在本性空的真理，修行六種波羅蜜多及其余菩薩的修行。若菩薩正確安住在本性空的真理，修行六種波羅蜜多及其余菩薩的修行，終究不會退轉喪失佛的智慧，恆常能利益安樂一切眾生。」
英文翻譯(慧光法師)：
Buddha in the 《Mahaprajnaparamita Sutra》 says:
"Subhuti you should know! Apart from the emptiness of essential nature, there certainly will be no Buddhas manifest in the world. All the Buddhas who manifest in the world, none do not teach the emptiness of essential nature. It is through hearing the Buddhas speaking this Truth that the essential nature is empty, all the sentient beings are then able to enter the Noble Path and attain the result of the Noble Path. Apart from the emptiness of essential nature, there is no other means.
Therefore, Subhuti! All Boddhisttvas who wish to realize supreme perfect Enlightenment should correctly dwell in this Truth that the essential nature is empty, cultivate the six paramitas and other Boddhisattva practices. If the Bodhisattva correctly dwell in this Truth that the essential nature is empty, cultivate the six paramitas and other Bodhisattva practices, he/she will never lost the Buddha’s wisdom and is always able to benefit all sentient beings."
