Thus have I heard at one time. The Lord dwelt at Rajagriha, on the Vulture Peak, together with a large gathering of monks, with 1250 monks, all of the Arhats – their outflows dried up, undefiled, fully controlled, quite freed in their hearts, well freed and wise, thoroughbreds, great Serpents, their work done, their task accomplished, their burden laid down, their own weal accomplished, with the fetters that bound them to becoming extinguished, their hearts well freed by right understanding, in perfect control of their whole minds –

Thereupon the Lord, mindful and self-possessed, emerging from this concentration, (P6) surveyed with the Heavenly Eye the entire world system. His whole body became radiant. From the wheels with a thousand spokes (imprinted) on the soles of his feet issued 60 hundred thousand niyutas of kotis of rays, and so from his ten toes, and similarly from his ankles, legs, knees, thighs, hips and navel, from his two sides, and from the sign “Srivatsa”190 on his chest, a mark of the Superman. Similarly from his ten fingers, his two arms, his two shoulders, from his neck, his forty teeth, his two nostrils, ears and eyes, from the hair-tuft in the middle between his eye-brows, and from the cowl on the top of his head. And through these rays this great trichiliocosm191 was illumined and lit up. And in the East world systems as numerous as the sands of the Ganges were, by this great illumination of rays, lit up and became illumined. So in the South, the West, the North, the North-East, the South-East, the South-West, the North-West, below and above. And the beings who were lit up and illumined by this great illumination of rays, they all became fixed on192 the utmost, right and perfect enlightenment. (P7)

(II) Thereupon all the Lord’s hair-pores became radiant, and from each single pore issued 60 hundred thousand of niyutas of kotis of rays through which this great trichiliocosm was illumined and lit up. And in the East world systems as numerous as the sands of the Ganges were, by this great illumination of rays, lit up and illumined. And so in the other nine directions. And the beings, who were lit up and illumined by this great illumination of rays, they all became fixed on the utmost, right and perfect enlightenment.

And so on, up to: In all the ten directions, in each single direction, world systems as numerous as the sands of the Ganges were illumined by His splendour. And the beings who were touched by this splendour, they were all fixed on the utmost, right and perfect enlightenment.

221：爾時世尊出廣長舌，遍三千大千國土。遍已，從其舌根復放無央數億百千光明。一一光明化為千葉寶華，其色如金。一一華者上皆有坐佛，一一諸佛皆說六度無極。一切眾生聞說法者，皆發無上正真道意。其舌光明一一華像，復照十方恒邊沙國土；一切眾生見其光明、聞說法者，亦發無上正真道意。	222：於是世尊從其舌本悉覆佛土，而出無數億百千光明，照此三千大千世界，周遍十方各江河沙等諸佛國土。其光明中，自然而殖金寶蓮華，其蓮華上各有諸佛，結加趺坐寶蓮華，講說經法，演於六波羅蜜；十方一切亦復如是。若有眾生聞斯法講，一切究竟皆得堅住阿耨多羅三耶三菩。	223：爾時世尊出廣長舌相，遍覆三千大千國土。熈怡微笑，從其舌根放無量千萬億光，是一一光化成千葉金色寶花。是諸花上皆有化佛，結跏趺坐說六波羅蜜。眾生聞者必得阿耨多羅三藐三菩提。復至十方如恒河沙等諸佛國土皆亦如是。
220：爾時，世尊從其面門出廣長舌相，遍覆三千大千世界，熙怡微笑。復從舌相流出無量百千俱胝那庾多光，其光雜色，從此雜色一一光中現寶蓮花，其花千葉皆真金色眾寶莊嚴。如是光、花遍三千界，從此展轉周流十方殑伽沙等諸佛世界。諸花臺中皆有化佛，結跏趺坐演妙法音，一一法音皆說六種波羅蜜多相應之法，有情聞者必得無上正等菩提。

(IV) Thereupon the Lord on that occasion put out his tongue. With it he covered the great trichiliocosm193 and many hundreds of thousands of niyutas of kotis of rays issued from it. From each one of these rays there arose lotuses, made of the finest precious stones, of golden colour, and with thousands of petals; and on those lotuses there were, seated and standing, Buddha-frames194 demonstrating dharma, i.e. this very demonstration of dharma associated with the six perfections. They went in all the ten directions to countless world systems in each direction (P8), and demonstrated dharma to beings, i.e. this very demonstration of dharma associated with the six perfections. And the beings who heard this demonstration of dharma, they became fixed on the utmost, right and perfect enlightenment.

221：是時世尊於師子座三昧，其三昧者名師子遊戲。身放神足，感動三千大千國土六反震動。三昧威神，令此三千大千國土地皆柔軟[跳-兆+叵][跳-兆+我]踊沒。諸有地獄、餓鬼、蠕動之類，及八難處，皆悉解脫。得生天上，人中齊第六天。適生天上人中已皆大歡喜，即識宿命，來詣佛所稽首受法。如是十方恒邊沙國土，諸三惡趣及八難處亦離對苦，生天上人中齊第六天。適生歡喜亦識宿命，各各自至其國佛所，稽首受法。	222：於是世尊坐師子床，有三昧名師子娛樂，以斯定意自然正受，如其色像，咸演威曜示現神足。三千大千世界六反震動，邊際亦搖，中順至邊，安和柔軟，愍傷一切眾生之類，令獲安隱快樂無患。爾時三千大千世界地獄、餓鬼、畜生，諸不閑者、恐懅厄者，自然為斷三塗，除已悉自致來，得生為人、四天王、忉利天、鹽天、兜術天、尼摩羅天、波羅尼蜜天。於時諸天適生彼間人中天上，即識宿命，歡喜悅豫，往詣佛所，稽首足下叉手歸命，十方一切亦復如是，等無差特。	223：爾時世尊故在師子座入師子遊戲三昧，以神通力感動三千大千國土六種震動，東踊西沒、西踊東沒、南踊北沒、北踊南沒、邊踊中沒、中踊邊沒，地皆柔軟，令眾生和悅。是三千大千國土中地獄、餓鬼、畜生及八難處，即時解脫得生天上。從四天王天處乃至他化自在天處，是諸天人自識宿命，皆大歡喜來詣佛所。頭面禮佛足却住一面。如是十方如恒河沙等國土地皆六種震動，一切地獄、餓鬼、畜生及八難處即時解脫，得生天上齊第六天。
220：爾時，世尊不起于座，復入師子遊戲等持，現神通力，令此三千大千世界六種變動，謂：動、極動、等極動，踊、極踊、等極踊，震、極震、等極震，擊、極擊、等極擊，吼、極吼、等極吼，爆、極爆、等極爆。又令此界東踊西沒、西踊東沒、南踊北沒、北踊南沒、中踊邊沒、邊踊中沒。其地清淨光澤細軟，生諸有情利益安樂。時，此三千大千世界所有地獄、傍生、鬼界及餘無暇險惡趣坑，一切有情皆離苦難，從此捨命得生人中及六欲天，皆憶宿住，歡喜踊躍同詣佛所，以殷淨心頂禮佛足。從此展轉周遍十方殑伽沙等諸佛世界，以佛神力六種變動。時，彼世界諸惡趣等一切有情皆離苦難，從彼捨命得生人中及六欲天，皆憶宿住，歡喜踊躍各於本界同詣佛所頂禮佛足。

(V) Thereupon the Lord, seated on that very Lion Seat, entered into the concentration called “The Lion’s Play”. With his supernatural power he shook this great trichiliocosm in six ways – it moved, moved back, trembled, trembled from one end to another, tossed, tossed along. At the sides it rose up, in the middle it sank down; in the middle it rose up, at the sides in sank down; it became soft and pliable, and all beings came to be at ease.

Thereupon, at that moment, minute and second, in this great trichiliocosm the hells, and the animal world, and the world of Yama, they all were abolished and became empty, and all the places of untoward rebirth disappeared. And the beings who had deceased in these destinies – i.e. the hells, the animal births, and the world of Yama – they all, through their very joy and rejoicing, were reborn among men, and also among the six kinds of gods (of the realm of sense desire). (P9)

Thereupon these men and gods, through the very might of the Lord recalled their former lives. In their great joy and rejoicing they then approached the Lord, saluted his feet with their heads, raised their folded hands to the Lord and paid homage to him. And so in each one of the ten directions, in world systems countless as the sands of the Ganges, all the hells, animal births, and worlds of Yama were abolished and became empty, and all untoward moments disappeared. And the beings who deceased in these three destinies, they all, through their very joy and rejoicing, were reborn among men, and also among the six kinds of gods (of the realm of sense desire). And those who were thus reborn among gods and men, through the might of the Lord, recalled their former lives. They then, in their great joy and rejoicing, went each to his own Buddha-field and approached the presence of the Buddha, the Lord who had arisen therein, saluted his feet, and they all raised their folded hands and paid homage to the Lord.

221：爾時三千大千國土，諸盲者得視、聾者得聽、瘂者能言、傴者得申、拘躄者得手足、狂者得正、亂者得定、病者得愈、飢渴者得飽滿、羸者得力、老者得少、裸者得衣，一切眾生皆得同志，相視如父如母、如兄如弟，等行十善淳修梵事，無有瑕穢澹然快樂，譬如比丘得第三禪，一切眾生皆逮於智，調已自守不嬈眾生。	222：爾時此三千世界眾生之類，盲者得目而覩色像，聾者徹聽聞諸音聲，志亂意惑還復其心，迷憤者則時得定；其裸形者自然衣服，其飢虛者自然飽滿，其消渴者無所思僥，其疾病者而得除愈，身瑕玼者諸根具足；其疲極者自然得解，久猗身者則無所猗。一切眾生得平等心，展轉相瞻，如父如母、如兄如弟、如姊如妹，各各同心等無偏邪、皆行慈心；一切群萌悉修十善，清淨梵行無有塵埃；一切黎庶悉獲安隱，所得安隱猶如比丘得第三禪。于時眾生而致智慧，而悉具足善快調定，離於卑劣、逮得和雅。	223：爾時三千大千國土，眾生盲者得視，聾者得聽，瘂者能言，狂者得正，亂者得定，裸者得衣，飢渴者得飽滿，病者得愈，形殘者得具足。一切眾生皆得等心，相視如父如母如兄如弟如姊如妹，亦如親族及善知識。是時眾生等行十善業道、淨修梵行，無諸瑕穢，恬然快樂，譬如比丘入第三禪皆得好慧，持戒自守不嬈眾生。
220：時，此三千大千世界及餘十方殑伽沙等世界有情，盲者能視，聾者能聽，瘂者能言，狂者得念，亂者得定，貧者得富，露者得衣，飢者得食，渴者得飲，病者得除愈，醜者得端嚴，形殘者得具足，根缺者得圓滿，迷悶者得醒悟，疲頓者得安適。時，諸有情等心相向，如父如母、如兄如弟、如姊如妹、如友如親，離邪語業命修正語業命，離十惡業道、修十善業道，離惡尋思、修善尋思，離非梵行、修正梵行，好淨棄穢、樂靜捨諠，身意泰然忽生妙樂，如修行者入第三定。復有勝慧欻爾現前，咸作是思：布施、調伏、安忍、勇進、寂靜、諦觀，遠離放逸，修行梵行，於諸有情慈、悲、喜、捨，不相擾惱，豈不善哉！

Thereupon in this great trichiliocosm the beings who were born blind saw forms with their eyes; the deaf heard sounds with their ears; the insane regained their mindfulness; those with distracted thoughts became one-pointed in their thoughts. The hungry were fed, the thirsty found their thirst stilled, the sick were healed and the crippled made whole. Those with unwholesome deeds of body, word and mind, and with unwholesome livelihood gave up their unwholesome habits. (P10) All beings considered each other as one considers one’s mother, father, brother, sister, friends, companions, kinsmen; and relations; and they tended the ten wholesome paths of action. Guarding their chastity, pure, they lived in the odour of sanctity. And all beings, possessed of all happiness, acquired the ease which a monk feels when immersed in the third Trance. And at that very time they were endowed with such wisdom that the Buddhas and Lords in other Buddha-fields cried out: “Good is self-discipline! Good is quietude! Good is self-mastery! Good is it to have observed the practice of the religious life!199 Good is the non-harming of living beings!”

221：爾時世尊坐師子床，於此三千大千國土其德特尊，光明色像威德巍巍。譬如山王須彌，眾山無能及者。	222：於是世尊在師子床，處於三千大千世界，而最超異威神巍巍，光燿煌煌無有畏懼，聖明輝赫尊顏具足，無不周普照于東方江河沙等諸佛世界，八維上下各江河沙等世尊國土，如須彌山超踰一切諸山之上，明在所通。	223：爾時世尊在師子座上坐，於三千大千國土中其德特尊，光明色像威德巍巍，遍至十方如恒河沙等諸佛國土。譬如須彌山王光色殊特，眾山無能及者。
220：爾時，世尊在師子座，光明殊特威德巍巍，映蔽三千大千世界并餘十方殑伽沙等諸佛國土，蘇迷盧山、輪圍山等及餘一切龍神天宮乃至淨居皆悉不現；如秋滿月暉映眾星，如夏日輪光奪諸色，如四大寶妙高山王掩蔽諸山喪其光彩。

(VI) Thereupon the Lord, seated on this very Lion Seat, over-towered this great trichiliocosm. There the Tathagata stood in all his glory, shone forth, gleamed and shed light, surpassing with his splendour, lustre, brilliancy, and beauty world systems as numerous as the sands of the Ganges in each of the ten directions. He did so in the same way in which Sumeru, king of mountains, over-towering all mountains, stands, shines forth, gleams, and sheds light, surpassing them with its splendour, lustre, brilliancy, and beauty.

221：爾時世尊如諸如來、無所著、等正覺法，以大普音遍三千大千國土。諸首陀會天及諸梵天、第六天王、釋天、四王天，其中諸天及諸眾生，悉見師子座、聞佛所說，各持天上所有種種名香、種種名華來詣佛所，供養如來、無所著、等正覺。	222：於是世尊承如來旨已，自然聖令三千大千世界眾生悉共瞻覩。時此世界，首陀衛淨居諸天，梵天、波羅尼蜜天、尼摩羅天、兜術天、鹽天、忉利天、四天王天及三千大千世界所居人民，自然見身親近如來，皆得自然天華傅餝、天香天雜香天搗香、天青蓮芙蓉鮮華，諸妙天華莖葉具足，各各發行齎詣如來，稽首佛足各散佛上，及於人間水陸諸花，各各手執，往詣世尊而為供養。	223：爾時，世尊以常身示此三千大千國土一切眾生。是時首陀會天、梵眾天、他化自在天、化樂天、兜率陀天、夜摩天、三十三天、四天王天及三千大千國土人與非人，以諸天花、天瓔珞、天澤香、天末香，天青蓮花、赤蓮花、白蓮花、紅蓮花、天樹葉香持詣佛所，是諸天花乃至天樹葉香以散佛上。
220：佛以神力現本色身，令此三千大千世界一切有情皆悉覩見。時，此三千大千世界無量無數淨居諸天，下至欲界四大王眾天，及餘一切人、非人等，皆見如來處師子座，威光顯曜如大金山，歡喜踊躍歎未曾有，各持種種上妙花鬘、塗散等香、衣服、瓔珞、寶幢、幡蓋、伎樂、諸珍，及無量種天青蓮花、天赤蓮花、天白蓮花、天香蓮花、天黃蓮花、天紅蓮花、天金錢樹花及香葉花，并餘無量水陸生花，持詣佛所奉散佛上。

(VII) Thereupon the Lord exhibited His own natural body in this great trichiliocosm. The gods of the world of sense desire and of the world of form, in this great trichiliocosm (P11), saw that glorified body of the Tathagata. They took celestial flowers, incense, perfume, garlands, ointments, powders, robes, parasols, flags, banners, and streamers; they took celestial lotuses – blue lotuses, night lotuses, water lilies, white lotuses- they took Kesara flowers and Tamala leaves; and they approached with them the glorified body of the Tathagata. Likewise the human beings in this great trichiliocosm took land and water flowers and approached the Tathagata’s glorified body. Both gods and men then strewed these flowers, etc., over the body of the Tathagata.

221：於是三千大千國土其中眾生，各持世間所有名香、水陸諸華來詣佛所，供養世尊。是時諸天香華、眾生香華，所可供養散如來上者，於空中合化成大臺，於其臺中垂諸幢幡。幢幡華蓋五色繽紛，華蓋光明悉遍照三千大千國土皆作金色；十方恒邊沙諸佛國土亦復如是。是時閻浮提人意自念言：今日如來、無所著、等正覺，獨為我等說法，不在餘處。諸三千大千國土中諸眾生亦各念言：今日如來在我前坐，獨為我等說法，不在餘國。	222：諸天人民所散供養諸華之具，上在虛空，三千大千世界化為宮殿自然樓觀，從其宮殿垂諸天華繒蓋幢幡，紛葩飄颺顯灼普現，其諸花香莊嚴三千大千佛國，自然巍巍，形像眾色如紫磨金，八維上下芬馥晃昱亦復如是。於是閻浮提城所有人民，瞻覩如來現身威變不可稱計，各心念言：今日如來坐於我前。普佛國土亦復如是，各各心念：今日如來在我前坐而說經法。	223：所散寶花於此三千大千國土上，在虛空中化成大臺。是花臺邊垂諸瓔珞，雜色花蓋五色繽紛，是諸花蓋瓔珞遍滿三千大千世界。以是花蓋瓔珞嚴飾故，此三千大千國土皆作金色，及十方如恒河沙等諸佛國土皆亦如是。爾時三千大千國土及十方眾生，各各自念佛獨為我說法不為餘人。
220：以佛神力，諸花鬘等旋轉上踊合成花臺，量等三千大千世界，垂天花蓋、寶鐸、珠幡，綺飾紛綸甚可愛樂。時，此佛土微妙莊嚴，猶如西方極樂世界。佛光暉映三千大千物類，虛空皆同金色，十方各等殑伽河沙諸佛世界亦復如是。時，此三千大千佛土，以佛神力，一切天、人各各見佛正坐其前，咸謂如來獨為說法。

By the sustaining power of the Buddha all these flowers, etc., formed high in the firmament one single pointed tower, which had the dimensions of the great trichiliocosm. And from this tower the celestial flowers and silken tassels hung down and were suspended, and they made this great trichiliocosm look very beautiful. And because the brightly shining golden colour of the Lord streamed forth in the ten directions, in each direction countless world systems were (P12) lit up and illumined. In this great trichiliocosm, and in all the world systems, the same thought occurred to each one of these gods and men: “It is for me that the Tathagata, seated there, demonstrates Dharma”.

220：爾時，世尊不起于座，熙怡微笑，從其面門放大光明，遍照三千大千佛土，并餘十方殑伽沙等諸佛世界。時，此三千大千佛土一切有情，尋佛光明普見十方殑伽沙等諸佛世界一切如來、應、正等覺，聲聞、菩薩眾會圍繞，及餘一切有情無情品類差別。時，彼十方殑伽沙等諸佛世界一切有情，尋佛光明亦見此土釋迦牟尼如來、應、正等覺，聲聞、菩薩眾會圍繞，及餘一切有情無情品類差別。

(VIII) Thereupon the Lord, seated on this very Lion Throne, smiled once again. Through the illumination from that smile this great trichiliocosm, and the innumerable world systems in the ten directions, were lit up. And all the beings in this great trichiliocosm saw the Buddhas, the Lords, and their assemblies of disciples in countless world systems in the East. And conversely, all the beings in countless world systems in the East saw this Saha200 world system, and Sakyamuni, the Tathagata, together with his community of monks.

221：東方度如恒邊沙國有世界名寶迹，其佛號寶事如來、無所著、等正覺，今現在以般若波羅蜜教化一切。有菩薩名普明，見釋迦文佛光明變化威神感動，便白寶事如來言：今日何緣有是佛身光明變化感動如是？	222：於是過東方江河沙等諸佛世界，最邊國土名寶迹，其佛號寶事如來、至真、等正覺，今現在為諸眾生，亦復講說《摩訶般若波羅蜜經》。彼時其佛世界，而有菩薩號曰普明，覩大光明及地大動，即便往詣寶事如來，稽首問曰：唯然，世尊！以何因緣，其大光明照此佛土、地大震動？諸如來身自然為見，會當有意。	223：是時東方過如恒河沙等諸佛國土，其國最在邊國名多寶，佛號寶積，今現在為諸菩薩摩訶薩說般若波羅蜜。彼國有菩薩名曰普明，見大光明、見地大動又見佛身，到寶積佛所白佛言：世尊！今何因緣，有此光明照於世間，地大震動又見佛身？
220：爾時，東方盡殑伽沙等世界，最後世界名曰多寶，佛號寶性，現為菩薩說大般若波羅蜜多。彼有菩薩名曰普光，見此大光、大地變動及佛身相，心懷猶豫前詣佛所，白言：世尊！何因何緣而有此瑞？

(IX) In the East, beyond countless world systems, at the very limit of these world systems, there is a world system called Ratnavati.201 In it the Tathagata Ratnakara stands, holds and maintains himself.203 He demonstrates to the Bodhisattvas this very perfection of wisdom as the Dharma. Now, in that world system a Bodhisattva, a great being, called Samantarasmi saw this great illumination, and this great shaking of the earth, and this glorified body of the Lord, and he approached the Lord Ratnakara, the Tathagata, saluted his feet with his head, and said to him: “What is the cause, O Lord, (P13) what is the reason for this great illumination being manifested in the world, and for this great shaking of the earth, and for the exhibition of the glorified body of that Tathagata?”

220：時，寶性佛告普光言：從此西方盡殑伽沙等世界，最後世界名曰堪忍，佛號釋迦牟尼，將為菩薩說大般若波羅蜜多，彼佛神力故現斯瑞。普光聞已，歡喜踊躍白言：世尊！我今請往堪忍世界，觀禮供養釋迦牟尼佛及菩薩眾，唯願聽許！時，寶性佛告普光言：善哉！善哉！隨汝意往。

The Tathagata Ratnakara replied: “There is, O son of good family, from here in the Western direction, beyond countless world systems, a world system called Saha. There the Tathagata Sakyamuni stands, holds, and maintains himself he reveals the perfection of wisdom to the Bodhisattvas, the great beings. This is his doing.” Samantarasmi replied: “I will go to that Saha world system, to see, salute, and honour that Tathagata Sakyamuni, and those Bodhisattvas, great beings, for the most part candidates to Buddha-hood, who have acquired the Dharanis, are skilful in the consummation of the concentrations, and have reached the highest control over all the concentrations.” Ratnakara said: “go then, you son of good family, for the right time has come.”

221：時寶事佛便以千葉金色蓮華與普明言：持是供養釋迦文佛。重告普明：汝詣彼國，攝持威儀無失法度。所以者何？彼國菩薩奉持律行，是以生彼。是時普明菩薩與無央數百千菩薩、無數比丘、諸善男子、善女人眾，從東方來——所經諸佛，皆以香華供養禮事——來詣忍界。見釋迦文佛，稽首作禮，普明菩薩白釋迦文佛言：寶事如來致問慇懃問訊世尊：坐起輕利、氣力如常不？今奉此華供養世尊。	222：寶事如來賜普明菩薩金色蓮華而有千葉：取，善男子！此寶蓮華以用供散釋迦牟如來。善男子！欲往修寂然行，忍界菩薩生彼土者，甚有患難亦難值遇。普明菩薩即受其金色蓮華，與無央數億百千姟諸菩薩眾男女、大小、居家、出家，則以供養東方諸佛天中天，承事歸命，上諸華香雜香搗香。次復詣釋迦牟如來，稽首足下，却住一面，普明菩薩白世尊曰：唯然，大聖！寶事如來敬問無量，乞求輕便，力行安乎？又復遣進金色蓮華。	223：爾時，寶積佛以千葉金色蓮花與普明菩薩而告之曰：善男子！汝以此花散釋迦牟尼佛上。生彼娑婆國中諸菩薩難勝難及，汝當一心以遊彼國。爾時普明菩薩從寶積佛受千葉金色光明蓮花，與無數出家、在家菩薩及諸童男童女，俱共發引，皆供養恭敬尊重讚歎東方諸佛，持諸花香、瓔珞澤香、末香塗香、衣服幢蓋，向釋迦牟尼佛所。到已，頭面禮佛足一面立，白佛言：世尊！寶積如來致問：世尊！少惱少患、起居輕利、氣力安樂不？又以此千葉金色蓮花供養世尊。
220：即以千莖金色蓮花，其花千葉眾寶莊嚴，授與普光而誨之曰：汝持此花至釋迦牟尼佛所，如我詞曰：寶性如來致問無量：少病少惱、起居輕利、氣力調和、安樂住不？世事可忍不？眾生易度不？持此蓮花以寄世尊而為佛事。汝至彼界應住正知，勿以慢心觀彼佛土及諸大眾而自毀傷。所以者何？彼諸菩薩威德難及，悲願熏心，以大因緣而生彼土。普光菩薩受花奉勅，與無量百千俱胝那庾多菩薩，及無數百千童男童女，頂禮佛足右繞奉辭，各持無量上妙供具發引而來，所經東方諸佛世界，一一佛所供養恭敬、尊重讚歎無空過者。到此佛所頂禮雙足，繞百千匝却住一面。普光菩薩前白佛言：世尊！從此東方盡殑伽沙等世界，最後世界名曰多寶，佛號寶性，致問世尊無量：少病少惱、起居輕利、氣力調和、安樂住不？世事可忍不？眾生易度不？持此千莖金色蓮華，以寄世尊而為佛事。

Thereupon the Tathagata Ratnakara gave to the Bodhisattva Samantarasmi lotuses made of manifold jewels, shining like gold, each with thousands of petals. “These lotuses, O son of good family, scatter over the Tathagata Sakyamuni! And say to him: ‘The Lord Ratnakara hopes that the Lord Sakyamuni is well and free from sickness, alert and buoyant, strong, happy and comfortable. And these lotuses have been sent to the Lord by this Lord Ratnakara, the Tathagata’! Act with full self-possession in that Buddha-field! For the Bodhisattvas who are reborn in that Saha world system are difficult to deal with.” (P14)

Thereupon the Bodhisattva Samantarasmi took from the Tathagata Ratnakara those lotuses made of manifold jewels, shining like gold, each with a thousand petals. He was surrounded and accompanied by many hundred of thousands of niyutas of kotis of Bodhisattvas, both householders and recluses, and by young men and women. And before they left they honoured, worshipped, and revered the Buddhas and Lords in the world-systems of the East.

(X) With the flowers, etc., he reached the Saha world system, approached the Tathagata Sakyamuni, salted the Lord’s feet with his head, and stood on one side. The Bodhisattva Samantarasmi then said to the Lord Sakyamuni: “The Lord Ratnakara hopes that the Lord Sakyamuni is well and free from sickness, alert and buoyant, strong, happy and comfortable. It is the Tathagata Ratnakara who has despatched to the Lord these lotuses made of manifold jewels, shining like gold, with thousands of petals.”

220：1)時，釋迦牟尼佛受此蓮花，還散東方諸佛世界。佛神力故，令此蓮花遍諸佛土，諸花臺中各有化佛結跏趺坐，為諸菩薩說大般若波羅蜜多，有情聞者必得無上正等菩提。2)是時，普光及諸眷屬見此事已，歡喜踊躍歎未曾有，各隨善根供具多少，供養恭敬、尊重讚歎佛菩薩已，退坐一面。餘東方界皆亦如是。

Thereupon the Lord Sakyamuni, the Tathagata took up these lotuses, and threw them in the Eastern direction into countless world systems, which were lit up by these lotuses. Buddha-frames were seated on those lotuses. In those Buddha-fields they demonstrated dharmas, i.e. this very demonstration of dharma associated with the perfection of wisdom. And the beings who heard that dharma became fixed on the utmost, right and perfect enlightenment.

Thereupon those Bodhisattvas, both the householders and recluses, and the young men and women who had come from that world system Ratnavati with Samantarasmi, the Bodhisattva, the great being, each on by virtue of his own wholesome roots revered, respected, honoured and worshipped the Lord Sakyamuni, and sat down on one side.
