It is the same. As are the dharmas, so are the sentient beings. As are the sentient beings, so are the fields. As are the fields, so is nirvana. Therefore, all dharmas are said to be equal to nirvana, because they are ultimate and thorough, without an antidote. Because there is no antidote, all dharmas are pure from the beginning, stainless from the beginning, and without afflictions from the beginning. Therefore, the Tathagata, in accordance with such a nature, manifestly and completely awakens to all dharmas, and having observed the realm of sentient beings that is impure, not stainless, and afflicted, enters into the great compassion called "universal play" for all sentient beings. The Tathagata, with skillful means, abides in Brahma, and does not turn the wheel of Dharma without being requested. Then, Brahma Sikhin, surrounded by eight hundred thousand kotis of Brahmas, having prostrated before him, together vanished from the world of Brahma and sat before the Tathagata. He touched the two feet of the Tathagata and requested the Blessed One to teach the Dharma for the sake of turning the wheel of Dharma. The Sugata requested to teach the Dharma, thus he requested the Tathagata. At that time, Brahma Sikhin also requested the Tathagata with verses: Your Dharma is peaceful and very peaceful, pure and completely pure, stainless and radiant, inexpressible, soundless, without letters, noble, realized by the wisdom of the Buddhas. For the sake of awakening sentient beings who have long slept, are obscured by ignorance, and hold wrong views, therefore, you have practiced extremely difficult asceticism for countless eons. Those who have met with the cause of the Buddhas of the past will realize this supreme Dharma. Because there are many sentient beings with good thoughts here, may the Tathagata turn the wheel of Dharma. You have completely destroyed the army of Mara, you have fully opened the gate of nectar. Great leader, lead sentient beings who have strayed onto the wrong path to the noble path. Your Buddha's compassion is unsurpassed, thinking of benefiting beings.

亦不遍入。 导师您我作祈请，祈请妙法法轮转。 如同胜者断有轮，如同金坚胜者转，如来光守护亦转，如是调伏亦转法轮。 如同云水令饱满，如是生长谷物药，慈悲云遍满世间，如是如来降法雨。 殊胜导师甫降生，为度有情出妙音，今时今日天人渴，祈以大法水止渴。 种姓之子，如是如来知晓梵天顶髻者作祈请后，您未舍弃大悲心，于波罗奈斯城仙人堕处鹿野苑中，为沙门或婆罗门，或天或魔，或梵天，或任何未曾在世间转过与法相符之法轮者，转了无上法轮，以无常之声，令三千大千世界之界知晓。 憍陈如亦最初通达一切法。 此后，彼时特意宣说此偈： 不可说且深奥，无字且决定义，憍陈如既已解，吾之勤作非徒劳。 如来转法轮，无量无数有情得调伏。 如来知晓大悲心之种种示现，无量无数有情发起了菩提心。 种姓之子，诸佛世尊之十六种大悲心，乃任运成就而恒常存在，不应舍弃。 具足彼大悲心之如来，为每一有情之故，亦乐意于恒河沙数劫中安住于有情大地狱中，若彼有情能于圣者之律中调伏，则如来亦不厌倦，彼大悲心亦不

also does not pervasively enter. To you, the teacher, I make a request, please turn the supreme Dharma wheel. Just as the Victorious One turns the wheel of existence, just as the golden steadfast Victorious One turns, just as the Sugata Light Protector also turns, so too, the Bhagavan turns the Dharma wheel. Just as the water of the clouds satisfies, so it produces crops and medicines, the clouds of compassion pervade the world, so may you, the Thus-gone One, send down the rain of Dharma. As soon as the supreme guide is born, he utters a sound to liberate beings, now, today, gods and humans are thirsty, please quench their thirst with the water of the great Dharma. Son of good family, thus, knowing that the Thus-gone One has been requested by Brahma with the topknot, because you have not abandoned great compassion, in the Deer Park at the place where ascetics fell in Varanasi, for the sake of ascetics or Brahmins, or gods or demons, or Brahma, or anyone who has not turned the Dharma wheel that accords with the Dharma in the world, he turned the unsurpassed Dharma wheel, and with the sound of impermanence, he made the realm of the three thousand great thousand worlds aware. Kaundinya also first understood all the Dharmas. Then, at that time, this verse was specifically spoken: It is unspeakable and profound, without letters and of definite meaning, since Kaundinya has understood this, my effort is not in vain. By the Thus-gone One turning the Dharma wheel, countless immeasurable beings were tamed. Knowing that the Thus-gone One is fully engaged in great compassion, countless immeasurable beings generated the mind of enlightenment. Son of good family, the sixteen aspects of great compassion of the Buddhas, the Bhagavat, are spontaneously accomplished and always present, and should not be abandoned. Possessing that great compassion, the Thus-gone One is also willing to abide in the great hells of beings for as many kalpas as there are grains of sand in the Ganges River for the sake of each being, and if those beings can be tamed in the discipline of the noble ones, then the Thus-gone One will not be weary, and that great compassion will not

是平等的。像这样，诸有情众生领受诸佛薄伽梵们不可思议的大悲。声闻和独觉们的悲悯就像皮肤的形态。菩萨们的悲悯就像血肉的形态。诸佛薄伽梵们的大悲就像骨骼和骨髓的形态。声闻们的悲悯是随喜佛的智慧。菩萨们的悲悯是使人如实地受持菩提心。诸佛薄伽梵们的大悲是为菩提授记。声闻们的悲悯是依赖慈爱。菩萨们的悲悯是依赖成熟有情。诸佛薄伽梵们的大悲是依赖令极度成熟。声闻们的大悲是因造作而完全厌倦。菩萨们的悲悯是使造作落入衰损。诸佛薄伽梵们的大悲是使一切造作落入衰损。种姓之子，这样看来，诸佛薄伽梵们的大悲是殊胜的，因为佛为了调伏（众生），即使住留一劫，或百劫，或千劫，或百千劫，也宁可不入般涅槃，也不完全入般涅槃。种姓之子，你应该通过这种方式来理解。种姓之子，过去曾经发生过，在过去的时间里，比无数劫还要无数劫之前，在那个时候，在那个时期，在名为“香胜”的劫中，在一个名为“具香”的世界里，如来、应供、正等觉，名为旃檀屋（梵文：Candana-griha），具有明行足，善逝，世间解，无上调御丈夫，天人师，佛，薄伽梵，出现在世间。薄伽梵旃檀屋如来，他的寿命是八万四千岁。

is equal. Thus, sentient beings receive the inconceivable great compassion of the Buddhas, the Bhagavat. The compassion of the Shravakas and Pratyekabuddhas is like the form of skin. The compassion of the Bodhisattvas is like the form of flesh. The great compassion of the Buddhas, the Bhagavat, is like the form of bones and marrow. The compassion of the Shravakas is to rejoice in the wisdom of the Buddha. The compassion of the Bodhisattvas is to cause the mind of Bodhi to be properly held. The great compassion of the Buddhas, the Bhagavat, is to prophesy Buddhahood. The compassion of the Shravakas depends on loving-kindness. The compassion of the Bodhisattvas depends on the maturation of sentient beings. The great compassion of the Buddhas, the Bhagavat, depends on causing extreme maturation. The great compassion of the Shravakas is completely weary of fabrication. The compassion of the Bodhisattvas causes fabrication to fall into decline. The great compassion of the Buddhas, the Bhagavat, causes all fabrication to fall into decline. Son of good family, thus, the great compassion of the Buddhas, the Bhagavat, is supreme, because the Buddha, for the sake of taming (beings), even if he remains for a kalpa, or a hundred kalpas, or a thousand kalpas, or a hundred thousand kalpas, he would rather not enter complete Nirvana than to completely enter Nirvana. Son of good family, you should understand this in this way. Son of good family, it happened in the past, in a time past, more countless than countless kalpas ago, at that time, in that period, in the kalpa called "Fragrance Supreme," in a world called "Possessing Fragrance," the Tathagata, Arhat, Samyaksambuddha, named Candana-griha (旃檀屋), possessed of knowledge and conduct, Sugata, Knower of the World, unsurpassed tamer of beings, teacher of gods and humans, Buddha, Bhagavat, appeared in the world. The lifespan of the Bhagavat Candana-griha Tathagata was eighty-four thousand years.

能活十六万岁。他的声闻眷属是八十四万一千六百声闻。世尊旃檀家如来，他的一个毛孔里发出的香味，能使三千大千世界充满香气。那个世界里没有臭味产生。而且那个世界里的墙壁、树木、山和显现的形象，都被如来的香气所浸润，因此那个世界被称为香世界。凡是生于那个世界的众生，都因如来的香气而使身、语、意的行为没有过失。凡是于那位世尊的教法下出家者，也因带着那香气而生起四禅。那个世界同时出现一万一千尊佛，都同名旃檀家。因此那个劫被称为香胜劫。世尊旃檀家如来在完成佛的事业，将要入灭的时候，观察众生界，心想我应当调伏哪个众生呢？他以清净超人的天眼，看到在非想非非想天的天人中，有一个众生往昔曾种下广大的善根，对佛法有信心，是佛所应调伏的，他在那里住了八万四千劫，死后转生到人间，与人们有共同的命运。如果他不耽著于欲望，听闻大乘的赞叹，就会发起无上正等正觉之心，并且成为不退转者。然后，世尊旃檀家如来以善巧方便显现大悲心，对众比丘说：诸比丘，我入灭的时间到了，今天我将入灭。

He was able to live for sixteen hundred thousand years. His assembly of Shravakas consisted of one million six hundred and eighty-four thousand Shravakas. The Blessed One Chandanakhya Tathagata, the fragrance emanating from one of his pores, filled the three thousand great thousand worlds with sweet fragrance. In that world, no foul odor arose. Moreover, the walls, trees, mountains, and visible forms in that world were all permeated by the Tathagata's fragrance, hence that world was called the Fragrant World. All beings born in that world, through the Tathagata's fragrance, had faultless conduct of body, speech, and mind. Those beings who went forth in the Blessed One's teachings also generated the four dhyanas by carrying that fragrance. In that world, eleven thousand Buddhas appeared simultaneously, all sharing the same name, Chandanakhya. Therefore, that kalpa was called the Excellent Fragrance Kalpa. When the Blessed One Chandanakhya Tathagata had completed the deeds of a Buddha and was about to pass into complete nirvana, he observed the realm of beings, thinking, 'Which being should I tame?' With his pure and superhuman divine eye, he saw among the gods in the Realm of Neither Perception nor Non-Perception, a being who had previously planted vast roots of virtue, had faith in the Buddha's teachings, and was to be tamed by the Buddha. He would remain there for eighty-four thousand kalpas, and after death, be reborn among humans, sharing their fate. If he did not indulge in desires and heard the praise of the Mahayana, he would generate the mind of unsurpassed, perfect, and complete enlightenment, and would become irreversible from unsurpassed, perfect, and complete enlightenment. Then, the Blessed One Chandanakhya Tathagata, with skillful means, manifested great compassion and addressed the monks: 'Monks, the time for me to pass into complete nirvana has come, and today I shall pass into complete nirvana.'
