Section 4 — Wondrous practice without dwelling妙行無住分第四
1Give Without Dwelling Anywhere
「復次，須菩提！菩薩於法，應無所住，行於布施。所謂不住色布施，不住聲、香、味、觸、法布施。須菩提！菩薩應如是布施，不住於相。何以故？若菩薩不住相布施。其福德不可思量。」
"Furthermore, Subhuti! In all dharmas a bodhisattva should practice giving without dwelling anywhere. That is, giving without dwelling in form, and giving without dwelling in sound, scent, taste, touch, or dharmas. Subhuti! A bodhisattva should give in this way, not dwelling in marks. Why is this? Because when a bodhisattva gives without dwelling in marks, that merit cannot be measured."
Interlinear notes 1
奧妙之行，本無住著
The wondrous practice has from the first no dwelling and no attachment.
2Can the Space to the East Be Measured?
「須菩提！於意云何？東方虛空，可思量不？」
"Subhuti! What do you think? Can the space to the east be measured?"
3It Cannot Be
「不也，世尊！」
"No, World-Honored One!"
4And the Space in Every Direction?
「須菩提！南、西、北方，四維上下虛空，可思量不？」
"Subhuti! Can the space to the south, the west, the north, in the four corners, above and below, be measured?"
5It Cannot Be
「不也，世尊！」
"No, World-Honored One!"
6So It Is with Merit
「須菩提！菩薩無住相布施，福德亦復如是不可思量。須菩提！菩薩但應如所教住。」
"Subhuti! The merit of a bodhisattva who gives without dwelling in marks is like this too: it cannot be measured. Subhuti! A bodhisattva should dwell only as he has been taught."
