如是我聞：
一時，佛在舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園，與大苾芻眾俱。
爾時，佛告諸苾芻言：「苾芻！汝等當知所有信解力法，此法能證真實之理，即是如來無所畏法，唯佛能知。苾芻或有聲聞，作如是言：『我於此信解力法，如實了知，精進不虛，離諸塵垢。』又復而言：『我能善說，我善調伏，我當說法，今正是時，是為最勝。令他依止，如是真實，應當修學，應當勤行。』又復而言：『當如是知，如是之法，最尊最上，無有等等。當如是見，如是聞，如是覺，如是知。』」
佛告苾芻：「汝等當知，所有聲聞，作是言者，是即虛妄，非如是見，非如是聞，非如是覺，非如是知。何以故？此法即是諸佛真理，唯佛能解，不共聲聞之法。」
佛告苾芻：「信解法者，所謂如來五力、十力。何等為五？一者、信力；二者、進力；三者、念力；四者、定力；五者、慧力。信解之法，具此五力。又復如來、應供、正等正覺，具足如來十力，是能了知佛無上處，又復于大眾中作師子吼，善為眾生轉妙法輪。云何名為如

如是我聞：
一時，佛在舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園（Jetavana Anathapindika-arama），與大比丘眾在一起。
當時，佛告訴眾比丘說：『比丘們！你們應當知道所有信解力法，此法能夠證得真實的道理，就是如來的無所畏法，只有佛才能知道。比丘們，或者有聲聞，這樣說：『我對於此信解力法，如實了知，精進不虛，遠離各種塵垢。』又說：『我能善於解說，我善於調伏，我應當說法，現在正是時候，這是最殊勝的。』令他人依止，像這樣真實，應當修學，應當勤奮修行。』又說：『應當這樣知道，這樣的法，最尊貴最至上，沒有可以與之相比的。應當這樣見，這樣聽，這樣覺，這樣知。』
佛告訴比丘們：『你們應當知道，所有聲聞，如果這樣說，那就是虛妄的，不是像這樣見，不是像這樣聽，不是像這樣覺，不是像這樣知。為什麼呢？此法就是諸佛的真理，只有佛才能理解，不是聲聞所能共有的法。』
佛告訴比丘們：『信解法，就是如來的五力、十力。什麼是五力呢？一是信力；二是進力；三是念力；四是定力；五是慧力。信解之法，具備這五力。還有如來、應供、正等正覺，具足如來十力，是能夠了知佛的無上之處，又能在大眾中作獅子吼，善於為眾生轉妙法輪。』什麼是如
【English Translation】 English version The Buddha Speaks the Sutra of Faith, Understanding, Wisdom, and Power
Translated by Dharma Master Fa Xian, Minister of the Imperial Academy, Great Master Mingjiao, who was also the Attendant of the Imperial Secretariat with the title of Chao Feng Da Fu, and a Tripiṭaka Master from the Western Regions, under Imperial Decree
Thus have I heard:
At one time, the Buddha was in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park (Jetavana Anathapindika-arama), in Shravasti (舍衛國), together with a large assembly of Bhikshus (苾芻).
At that time, the Buddha told the Bhikshus, 'Bhikshus! You should know all the Dharmas of the power of faith and understanding. This Dharma can realize the truth, which is the Tathagata's (如來) fearlessness. Only the Buddha can know it. Bhikshus, perhaps there are Sravakas (聲聞) who say: 'I truly understand this Dharma of the power of faith and understanding. My diligence is not in vain, and I am free from all defilements.' And again they say: 'I can explain it well, I can subdue well, I should teach the Dharma, now is the right time, this is the most excellent.' Causing others to rely on it, like this is the truth, one should study and practice, one should diligently cultivate.' And again they say: 'One should know like this, this Dharma is the most noble and supreme, there is nothing equal to it. One should see like this, hear like this, perceive like this, know like this.'
The Buddha told the Bhikshus, 'You should know that all Sravakas who say this are speaking falsely. It is not like this seeing, not like this hearing, not like this perceiving, not like this knowing. Why? This Dharma is the truth of all Buddhas, only the Buddha can understand it, it is not a Dharma shared with Sravakas.'
The Buddha told the Bhikshus, 'The Dharma of faith and understanding is the five powers and ten powers of the Tathagata. What are the five powers? First is the power of faith (信力); second is the power of diligence (進力); third is the power of mindfulness (念力); fourth is the power of Samadhi (定力); fifth is the power of wisdom (慧力). The Dharma of faith and understanding possesses these five powers. Furthermore, the Tathagata, Arhat (應供), Samyak-sambuddha (正等正覺), is complete with the ten powers of the Tathagata, which can understand the unsurpassed state of the Buddha, and can roar like a lion in the great assembly, skillfully turning the wonderful Dharma wheel for sentient beings.' What is called the like
來十力？所謂于處非處，如實了知。而處非處，若如實知，是為如來第一智力。而此智力，若諸如來、應供、正等正覺，具足智力，乃能了知佛無上處，于大眾中，作師子吼，善為眾生轉妙法輪。

『Furthermore, the Tathagata (如來, one of the titles of a Buddha) with His pure divine eye (divyacakṣus, supernormal vision that can see through material obstacles and karma), surpassing the physical eye, observes all beings in the world, their birth and death, beauty and ugliness, nobility and lowliness, high and low status, good and evil destinies, and the deeds they have done. Even the various unwholesome deeds of body, speech, and mind that beings possess, slandering the virtuous and noble, and holding wrong views, doing unwholesome deeds, practicing unwholesome dharmas, all arise from wrong causes. Due to these wrong causes, after the end of their lives, they fall into evil destinies and suffer the pain of hell. Moreover, beings who practice the ten wholesome deeds with body, speech, and mind, do not slander the virtuous and noble, arise with right views, do various wholesome deeds, and practice various wholesome dharmas, all arise from right causes. Due to these right views, after the end of their lives, they are born in the heavens and become gods. The Tathagata knows all these dharmas as they truly are. Thus, the Tathagata, with His pure divine eye, surpassing the physical eye, observes all beings in the world, their birth and death, beauty and ugliness, nobility and lowliness, high and low status, good and evil destinies, and the deeds they have done, even the various unwholesome deeds of body, speech, and mind that beings possess, slandering the virtuous and noble, arising with wrong views, doing unwholesome deeds, and practicing unwholesome dharmas.

Due to these right views, after the end of their lives, they are born in the heavens and become gods. This is the ninth power of knowledge of the Tathagata. And this power of knowledge, only the Tathagata, Arhat (應供, one who is worthy of offerings), Sammasambuddha (正等正覺, a fully enlightened Buddha) possesses. Possessing this power of knowledge, one can know the unsurpassed state of the Buddha, roar the lion's roar in the midst of the assembly, and skillfully turn the wonderful Dharma wheel for the benefit of all beings.』
『Furthermore, the Tathagata, having exhausted all defilements, attains undefiled liberation (anāsrava-vimokṣa, liberation without outflows), liberation through wisdom (prajñā-vimokṣa, liberation through wisdom), and with His own supernormal powers, fully understands all dharmas, knowing 『My birth is exhausted, the pure conduct has been established, what needed to be done has been done, there is no more future existence.』 The Tathagata knows all these things as they truly are. Thus, the Tathagata, having exhausted all defilements, attains undefiled liberation, liberation through wisdom, and with His own supernormal powers,

At that time, the Buddha told the Bhiksus (苾芻，monks): 'Regarding the Tathagata's (如來，one who has thus come) power of knowledge of what is possible and impossible, if someone asks: 'In terms of what is possible and impossible, how does the Tathagata (如來，one who has thus come) possess the power of knowledge to see, hear, and be aware of everything, even to the point of attaining complete and perfect enlightenment?' If someone asks this, you should answer truthfully.
