因此,虽然根据所化众生的根器,在刹土、寿命、时间等方面有所不同地示现,但一切佛都是平等性智之身,功德的量无法衡量。因此,他们的刹土也是完全清净且广大的,寿命的长度也如同虚空般长久。因此,我们的导师的刹土是世尊毗卢遮那佛广大如海的刹土。时间也不仅仅是在争斗时期成佛,并在短暂的时间内涅槃。如《妙法莲华经》所说:千百万亿无数劫,其量始终不可得,我证最胜菩提已,我常说法无间断。诸菩萨众常精进,于佛智慧莫生疑,无量无数诸众生,令其成熟无量劫。示现涅槃之方便,为调众生故说之,然我实不入涅槃,常住于此而说法。我以神力所加持,令诸世界常安隐,若有众生来至此,能于我法生欣乐。钝根有漏着诸欲,如是之人不能见,设见我身及说法,谓是方便非真实。我观一切诸众生,没在苦海甚难度,故不为现真实身,令生渴仰而说法。如是常在灵鹫山,及余一切诸住处。众生见劫尽,大火所烧时,我此土安隐,天人常充满。诸天共楼阁,止住于其中,园林诸堂阁,种种宝庄严。宝树多华果,众生所游乐,诸天击天鼓,常作众伎乐。常闻说法音,一切皆清净,我净土如是,而我常在此。我常在世间,未曾入涅槃,但以方便力,示现入灭相。为度诸众生,故示种种身,或示自身,或示他身。我所说法,皆是真实,非是方便。我所说法,皆是真实,非是方便。以是方便,令诸众生,得入佛道。我虽示灭度,而实不灭度,常在此说法,度无量众生。

Therefore, although according to the capacity of the beings to be tamed, there are different manifestations in terms of fields, lifespans, and times, all Buddhas are the embodiment of the wisdom of equality, and the measure of their qualities is immeasurable. Therefore, their fields are also completely pure and vast, and the length of their lifespans is as long as the sky. Therefore, the field of our teacher is the field of the Bhagavan Vairochana, vast as the ocean. And the time is not only when he attained Buddhahood in the age of strife and passed into Nirvana in a short time. As it says in the White Lotus of the Sacred Dharma: "For countless millions of billions of kalpas, the measure of which can never be obtained, I have attained this supreme Bodhi, and I constantly preach the Dharma without interruption. All the Bodhisattvas are constantly diligent, and do not doubt the wisdom of the Buddha, countless and innumerable beings, causing them to mature for countless kalpas. Showing the expedient of Nirvana, it is said for the sake of taming beings, but I do not actually enter Nirvana, but constantly dwell here and preach the Dharma. I bless with divine power, so that all worlds are constantly peaceful, and if there are beings who come here, they can rejoice in my Dharma. Dull-rooted and defiled, attached to all desires, such people cannot see, even if they see my body and preach the Dharma, they say it is expedient and not real. I see all sentient beings, submerged in the sea of suffering, very difficult to cross, so I do not show the real body, causing them to thirst and preach the Dharma. Thus, I am always on Vulture Peak, and all other dwelling places. When beings see the end of the kalpa, when it is burned by a great fire, my land is peaceful, and gods and humans are always full. The gods share pavilions, dwelling in them, gardens and halls, decorated with various treasures. Many trees with flowers and fruits, where beings play, the gods strike heavenly drums, constantly making music. Constantly hearing the sound of Dharma, everything is pure, my pure land is like this, and I am always here. I am always in the world, never entering Nirvana, but with expedient power, showing the appearance of entering extinction. For the sake of saving all beings, I show various bodies, or show my own body, or show another's body. All the Dharma I preach is true, not expedient. All the Dharma I preach is true, not expedient. With this expedient, may all beings enter the Buddha's path. Although I show extinction, I do not actually extinguish, constantly preaching the Dharma here, saving countless beings."

我啊!在寂静处有无数的住所。当众生看到并认为这个世界被劫火焚烧时,那时我的佛土,将被天人和人类完全充满。他们嬉戏并拥有各种各样的快乐。无数的楼阁由宝石建成。以珍宝山和同样的方式,以鲜花和果实的树木来装饰。从上方诸神猛烈地敲击大鼓。曼陀罗花雨也纷纷落下。其他任何智者进入此菩提,并向我和声闻们显现。我的净土虽然如此恒常存在,但其他人却认为它被劫火焚烧。被百种忧伤所折磨,并且看到世界非常恐怖。在无数年中,如来们,以及佛法和我的僧伽众,他们的名字将永远不会被听到,这是罪恶业力的果报。何时柔和温顺的众生,在此人世间出生,因善业而如此出生之后,我便会显现并宣说佛法。我永远不会为他们宣说。这些无边无际的行为,因此他们长久以来见到我。因此胜者说我极难获得。我的智慧力量就是这样,它非常明亮且没有边际。我的寿命是无量劫,那是通过先前所行的行为而成就的。智者们不要对此产生怀疑,完全舍弃那些犹豫不决的人。我已真实地说出了这些话语,虚假的言辞绝不会从我这里发出。例如,一位善巧方便的医生,为了那些颠倒认识的儿子们,说自己未死却已死去。智者应知他不妄语。同样,我也是自生之世间父,是所有生灵的医者和怙主,从颠倒的愚痴中,示现未入涅槃而入涅槃。为什么呢?如果总是见到我,无知愚昧者就会变得懒惰。也会不加约束地信任欲望,因放逸的缘故而堕入恶趣。从行为和行为的种类上,总是为了菩提而欢笑,并且

I! In secluded places, I have countless abodes. When sentient beings see and perceive this world being burned by the fire of the eon, at that time, my Buddha-field will be completely filled with gods and humans. They will play and possess various kinds of joy. Countless mansions are made of jewels. Adorned with jeweled mountains and in the same way, with trees laden with flowers and fruits. From above, the gods strike great drums intensely. Showers of Mandarava flowers also fall abundantly. Whatever other wise ones enter this Bodhi, and appear to me and the Shravakas. Although my pure land is thus eternally abiding, others perceive it as being burned by the fire of the eon. Tormented by hundreds of sorrows, and seeing the world as extremely terrifying. For countless years, the Tathagatas, as well as the Dharma and my Sangha assembly, their names will never be heard, such is the result of sinful actions. Whenever gentle and mild sentient beings, are born in this human world, and immediately after being born through virtuous actions, I will appear and extensively teach the Dharma. I will never teach it to those. These limitless actions, therefore they have seen me for a long time. Therefore, the Victorious One said that I am extremely difficult to obtain. My power of wisdom is like this, it is extremely bright and without limit. My lifespan is immeasurable eons, that is accomplished by practicing previous conduct. Wise ones should not doubt this, completely abandon those who are hesitant. I have spoken these words truthfully, false words will never come from me. For example, a skillful physician, for the sake of sons who have inverted perceptions, says that he has died even though he has not died. The wise should know that he does not speak falsely. Similarly, I am the self-born father of the world, the healer and protector of all beings, from inverted ignorance, I show entering Nirvana while not entering Nirvana. Why? If they always see me, the ignorant and unknowing will become lazy. They will also recklessly trust in desires, and fall into lower realms due to the cause of carelessness. From the types of conduct and behavior, always laughing for Bodhi, and

为了获得一切佛法,我如是向众生宣说。如是说,诸佛已证得究竟的智慧之身,在法界所遍及的一切时处,示现恒常和遍布的智慧之种种无量游舞,对此生起殊胜的定解,是菩萨不退转者生起不退转信心的原因。因此,应当如是确定。在《宝积父子相见经》中说,过去无量劫前,名为如来顶髻自在者,也是这位导师。为了使众生完全成熟,大雄猛士作种种变化,八十俱胝的胜者,虽然示现成佛,但仍然消除对法的执着,也进入殊胜菩提。清净三千六十一的佛土,如能仁以善巧方便,胜者您为一切所知。仍然最初发心时,完全开示了那个和那个,仍然您是引导者,示现为众多佛陀。以各种各样的形象,行持殊胜士夫之行。如是等等所说。在圣《宝源经》中说,佛陀义成之净土极其清净广大无量,具备殊胜庄严,并如理示现佛陀于菩萨时期的稀有行持。经中说,该佛以及其他方无数佛陀,名号和刹土各异,也是这位导师。在《勇猛行三摩地经》中,当妙吉祥童子游历众多佛土时,在上方世界名为一灯世界的刹土,其功德即使以劫来宣说也无法穷尽,没有声闻缘觉之名,在那里安住的佛陀,被问及您的名号是什么时,回答说你去问如来释迦牟尼。如是向导师请问时,刹土中佛陀的名号是开示一切法

In order to obtain all the Buddha's teachings, I speak thus to sentient beings. As it is said, the Buddhas, having attained the ultimate wisdom body, manifest immeasurable displays of all kinds of constant and pervasive wisdom in all times and places pervaded by the realm of Dharma. Generating supreme certainty about this is the cause for irreversible Bodhisattvas to generate irreversible faith. Therefore, it should be determined as such. In the Sutra of the Meeting of the Father and Son of the Jewel Heap, it is said that in the past, immeasurable eons ago, the Tathagata named Crown of Power was also this teacher. In order to fully ripen sentient beings, the great hero performs various transformations. Eighty kotis of victors, although having shown themselves as Buddhas, still eliminate attachment to the Dharma and also enter supreme Bodhi. Having purified the sixty-one Buddha-fields of the three thousand, as the Able One with skillful means, the Victor, you are known by all. Still, when first generating the mind of enlightenment, he fully revealed that and that. Still, you are the guide, showing yourself as many Buddhas. With various forms, he performs the conduct of a supreme person. Thus, and so on, it is said. In the Noble Jewel Source Sutra, it is said that the pure land of Buddha Don Yod Drub Pa is extremely pure, vast, immeasurable, and possesses magnificent adornments, and also appropriately shows the Buddha's rare conduct during the Bodhisattva period. The sutra says that this Buddha and many other Buddhas from other directions, with different names and lands, are also this teacher. In the Samadhi Sutra of Heroic Progress, when Manjushri, the youth, traveled through many Buddha-fields, in the upper direction, in the realm called One Lamp World, the qualities of that field cannot be exhausted even if described for an eon, there is no name of Shravaka or Pratyekabuddha. When the Buddha residing there was asked, "What is your name?" he replied, "Go and ask the Tathagata Shakyamuni." When asked of the teacher, the name of the Buddha in that field is "Manifesting all Dharmas."

名为幻化之王,那就是我。在那佛土,我转了不退转的法轮。”又说,在东方经过三万二千个世界,在名为完全摄持的世界里,如来名号为光明庄严幻化之王,他的寿命长达七百无数劫,那位也是世尊本人。在《狮子吼经》中说:“从这里向北方,经过六十个恒河沙数的佛土微尘数的世界之外,在名为现喜的世界里,住着如来名号为法胜,在那里派遣了菩萨名号为遍胜蕴。那位佛说,如来释迦牟尼就是法胜我,在娑婆世界以各种化身向众生说法。”《饶益指鬘经》中也说,其他佛土的无量诸佛现在住世的,也和如来本人没有差别。未来也是一样,只要众生存在,示现菩提之法就不会中断。要知道一切佛都具有这样的功德差别。同样,菩萨们在最初发心的时候,虽然有慈悲力量大小的差别,但获得完全清净的意乐之后,受持清净佛土的菩萨们,也不会在不清净的佛土中不示现成佛的事业,受持不清净佛土的菩萨们,也不会不修习清净的佛土。就像各自道路的阶段性的器量一样,由于佛土和时间等不同,调伏众生虽然有那样的显现,但在究竟的果位上,佛土被法界所遍及,时间长达无尽劫,示现菩提之法不会中断,要知道这是平等的。以狭隘的智慧无法领会如来甚深的密意,

Named the King of Illusions, that is me. In that Buddha-field, I turned the wheel of Dharma of non-retrogression.” It is also said that after passing thirty-two thousand worlds to the east, in a world called Completely Gathered, the Tathagata named Light Adorned King of Illusions, whose lifespan is seven hundred countless kalpas, that one is also the Bhagavan himself. In the Lion's Roar Sutra, it says: “From here to the north, beyond sixty Ganges sands of Buddha-field dust-like worlds, in a world called Manifest Joy, there dwells a Tathagata named Dharma Victorious, where a Bodhisattva named Completely Victorious Aggregate was sent. That Buddha said, the Tathagata Shakyamuni is Dharma Victorious me, teaching the Dharma to beings in the Saha world through various emanations.” The Sutra Benefiting Angulimala also says that the immeasurable Buddhas of other Buddha-fields who are now living are no different from the Tathagata himself. In the future, as long as beings exist, the manifestation of the path to enlightenment will not cease. It should be known that all Buddhas possess such differences in qualities. Similarly, although Bodhisattvas have differences in the magnitude of their compassion when they initially generate the mind, those who have attained completely pure intention and have taken hold of pure Buddha-fields will also not fail to manifest the deeds of Buddhahood in impure Buddha-fields, and those who have taken hold of impure Buddha-fields will also not fail to cultivate pure Buddha-fields. Just as the capacity of each stage of the path is different, although the taming of beings appears in that way due to differences in Buddha-fields and times, in the ultimate fruition, the Buddha-field is pervaded by the Dharmadhatu, and the manifestation of the path to enlightenment will not cease for as long as kalpas last, it should be known that this is equality. With limited wisdom, one cannot comprehend the profound intentions of the Tathagata,
