From the half-moon point, traveling to the four continents, proceeding with the seasons. At the summit of Mount Meru are the Thirty-Three Gods, Eight wealth gods and eleven fierce gods, Twelve suns and two tail stars reside. On the four sides of Mount Lhanpo are four-storied buildings, In the center is a city that is pleasing to behold, Its four sides have four gardens, Surrounded by four excellent lands. In the northeast corner is the all-gathering, earth-piercing tree, In the southwest is the Dharma-good, gathering place of the gods. Furthermore, there are immeasurable abodes such as Indra's throne. Above that are the gods who rely on the sky, In order, the Gods of No Strife, Joyful, Delightful Transformation, And the God-abodes called Controlling Others' Transformations. Above that are the four Dhyanas of the Form Realm, in order: Brahma Assembly, Brahma Retinue, Great Brahma, Minor Light, Immeasurable Light, Clear Light, Minor Virtue, Immeasurable Virtue, Increasing Virtue, Cloudless Gods, Fortunate Birth, Great Fruit, No Affliction, No Heat, Well-Appearing, Well-Seeing, Akanishtha. These are the seventeen realms of the Form Realm. These gods have bodies of light and eat samadhi, Enjoying emanated enjoyments, in immeasurable palaces of light. Above that is the Formless Realm, with Infinite Space, Infinite Consciousness, Nothing Whatsoever, And Neither Perception Nor Non-Perception, these four have no abode. However, empty space is said to be their support. The extent of the completion of a kalpa formed in this way is: From a lifespan of countless years, decreasing downwards, Until one being is born in the Avici Hell. Its duration is twenty intermediate kalpas, From below, the Thirty-Three Gods gradually form, The formation of the vessel world takes one intermediate kalpa, After that, the sentient beings are completely formed within nineteen intermediate kalpas. During the abiding kalpa, from a lifespan of immeasurable years, To eighty thousand, then decreasing to ten years, Called the "First Long Time," a decreasing kalpa. After that, increasing upwards from eighty thousand years, To ten years, then decreasing downwards, is one intermediate kalpa, Like that, there are eighteen increasing and decreasing intermediate kalpas. After that, increasing upwards and decreasing downwards as before, Called "No Beginning Long Time," these three periods, Are completed with a measure of twenty intermediate kalpas. During the destroying kalpa, from the lower abodes, Gradually emptying upwards, a person from Jambudvipa, Obtains dhyana, and with that sound as a condition, The people of the other three continents also practice that dhyana, Even if they are born in the First Dhyana Heaven, but the people of Uttarakuru, The ripening result

由于父亲没有断除贪欲,便投生为欲天,他们六者依次地,以自然法则获得,投生于初禅。之后向上获得更大的禅定,当投生于二禅时,欲界便空虚了。之后从两日到七日之间,依次升起,四大部洲和须弥山全部,被彻底焚烧和燃烧,以此为缘,凭借寻伺的力量,自身所在地的火燃烧,初禅的空屋将被焚毁。安住于二禅的众生也投生于三禅。那时从天空降下雨水,被水摧毁,二禅以下便会毁灭。三禅的众生也投生于四禅天,没有毁灭,仅以禅定为满足。那时风将吹向四面八方,三禅以下便会毁灭,成为无所依的虚空。如此投生于无间地狱,何时断绝之时,便是毁灭的开始。之后投生于第二空虚之界的时期,十九个中劫的末尾是一个坏劫,总共二十个是坏劫。空虚的劫是二十个中劫的时间,没有世界,安住于空虚的虚空。如此成住坏空,那些中劫的总和是大劫,为了说明这一点,共有八十个中劫。次第从《如意宝藏论》的共同和不共,以及《俱舍论》中了解。一般来说,世界界是无边无际的,但这里是三千世界布局的刹土,百亿俱胝同时生灭,因为是一位佛陀的所化,所以只是简略地讲述了它的布局。内部的蕴也并非恒常,在外器形成之后,从有顶天开始,依次从业力往下,众生在各个处所繁衍,存在有五种形式,中阴不属于其中,但由于习气的力量,显现为前后的形象。从四种生处各自投生于不同的道。人类最初的时候是天之子,转移到赡部洲是化生,能够存活无数年,同样地,其他洲的人类也繁衍开来。那时虽然没有粗大的烦恼,但由于业力的力量,习气却大大增长。

Because the father has not abandoned desire, he is born as a desire deity, and these six in sequence, attain by the law of nature, are born in the first dhyana. Then, ascending and attaining greater samadhi, when born in the second dhyana, the desire realm becomes empty. Then, from two to seven suns, rising in sequence, all four continents and Mount Sumeru, are completely burned and ignited, and due to this cause, by the power of investigation and analysis, the fire burning in its own place, the empty house of the first dhyana will be burned down. Those dwelling in the second dhyana are also born in the third dhyana. At that time, rain falls from the sky, destroyed by water, everything below the second dhyana will be destroyed. The beings of the third dhyana are also born as gods of the fourth dhyana, without destruction, satisfied only with samadhi. At that time, the wind blows in all ten directions, everything below the third dhyana will be destroyed, becoming a single, unsupported space. Thus, being born in the Avici hell, whenever it ceases, it is the beginning of destruction. Then, the period of being born in the second empty realm, at the end of nineteen intermediate kalpas is one destructive kalpa, a total of twenty are destructive kalpas. The empty kalpa is the duration of twenty intermediate kalpas, without a world, abiding in the empty space. Thus, formation, abiding, destruction, and emptiness, the sum of those intermediate kalpas is a great kalpa, for the sake of explaining this, there are eighty intermediate kalpas. The order can be understood from the uncommon and common aspects of the Wish-Fulfilling Treasury and the Abhidharma treatises. Generally speaking, the world realm is boundless, but here it is the pure land arranged in the three thousand worlds, hundreds of millions of kotis arising and ceasing simultaneously, because they are the disciples of one Buddha, therefore only a brief account of its arrangement is given. The inner contents are also not permanent, after the outer vessel is formed, starting from the peak of existence, gradually descending from karma, sentient beings propagate in various places, there are five forms of existence, the intermediate state does not belong to them, but due to the power of habit, it appears as the form of before and after. From the four modes of birth, they are born separately into different realms. Humans were initially sons of gods, transferred to Jambudvipa as apparitional births, able to live for countless years, and similarly, humans also propagated in other continents. At that time, although there were no coarse afflictions, due to the power of karma, habits greatly increased.

时机也同样逐渐衰减,寿命从无数年逐渐递减至八万岁,六万岁、两万岁、一万岁之间,寿命、出生地、享受、身量,以及地域的功德等都逐渐衰减。十岁时,分别念和烦恼粗重。胜者的化身宣说了五种苦行,逐渐断除不善,寿命增长。增长至二十岁、四十岁、一百岁、两百岁,五百岁、一千岁、两千岁、五千岁,两万岁、四万岁、八万岁之间。地域的布局、财富和享用也同样如此。圆满逝世后,寿命逐渐衰减时,由于不善的力量,业相显现,地狱等恶趣中的众生增多。恶趣众生的身量没有定准。南赡部洲的人们寿命百岁时,身高四肘,还略有不足。同样,东胜身洲、西牛货洲、北俱卢洲这三洲,后后比前者高大两倍。欲界六天从四分之一由旬至二分之一由旬之间产生。色界诸天中,梵众天身高半个俱卢舍。上面的三天,后后比前者高大一半。无量天以上,后后比前者大两倍。无云天以上,舍弃三个俱卢舍。寿命的长短与色界自身的身量相等,都是那么长的劫。然而,光小天以上是大劫,大梵天以下按其一半计算。欲界四大天王的诸天,能活五百岁,而上面的三十三天等也是如此。他化自在天能活六万六千岁。人类中,北俱卢洲的人们肯定能活一千年。胜身洲和东胜身洲减半。业的差别增减不定。无色界中,空无边处的寿命是两万大劫。上面的三处依次增加两倍。阿修罗可归纳为五类,大多寿命和享受与天人相似。三恶趣中,地狱的等活地狱能活五百岁,其余六大地狱,依次增加两倍。极热地狱是中劫的一半,无间地狱的寿命是一个中劫。八寒地狱中,疱地狱的寿命,用摩揭陀的量具来衡量,装满芝麻

As time also gradually diminishes accordingly, lifespan gradually decreases from countless years to eighty thousand years, sixty thousand years, twenty thousand years, and ten thousand years. Lifespan, place of birth, enjoyment, body size, and the qualities of the land all gradually diminish. At the age of ten, conceptual thoughts and afflictions become coarse. The emanation of the Victorious One taught the five ascetic practices, and by gradually abandoning non-virtue, lifespan increases. It increases to twenty years, forty years, one hundred years, two hundred years, five hundred years, one thousand years, two thousand years, five thousand years, twenty thousand years, forty thousand years, and eighty thousand years. The arrangement of the land, wealth, and enjoyment are also the same. After the passing of the Fully Endowed One, when lifespan gradually decreases, due to the power of non-virtue, karmic appearances manifest, and beings in the lower realms such as hells increase. The body size of beings in the lower realms is not fixed. When people in the southern continent of Jambudvipa have a lifespan of one hundred years, their height is four cubits, slightly less. Similarly, the three continents of Purvavideha, Aparagodaniya, and Uttarakuru are twice as tall as the previous ones. The six desire realms arise from one-fourth of a yojana to one-half of a yojana. In the form realm, the Brahmas' height is half a krosha. The three above them are half as tall as the previous ones. Above the Immeasurable, they are twice as large as the previous ones. Above the Cloudless, three kroshas are discarded. The length of life is equal to the body size of the form realm itself, that is, that many kalpas. However, above the Small Light, it is a great kalpa, and below the Great Brahma, it is calculated as half of that. The gods of the Four Great Kings of the desire realm can live five hundred years, and the Thirty-three Gods above them are the same. The Paranirmita-vasavartin can live sixty-six thousand years. Among humans, the people of Uttarakuru will definitely live for one thousand years. The people of Purvavideha and Aparagodaniya are halved. The differences in karma are uncertain in their increase and decrease. In the formless realm, the lifespan of the Space of Infinite Space is twenty thousand great kalpas. The three above them increase by two times in succession. Asuras can be classified into five types, and their lifespan and enjoyment are mostly similar to those of the gods. Among the three lower realms, the Reviving Hell can live for five hundred years, and the remaining six hells increase by two times in succession. The Extremely Hot Hell is half a middle kalpa, and the lifespan of the Avici Hell is one middle kalpa. Among the eight cold hells, the lifespan of the Blister Hell, measured by the Magadha measure, is filled with sesame seeds

从三十年中过一百年,像取出每一粒芝麻一样耗尽。 同样,七个剩余之下是二十的倍数,饿鬼们的寿命能活五百年。 畜生的寿命长短不定,有很多种。 然而,在这些众生的寿命中,除了不悦耳的声音外,不到时候,据说有业力导致的死亡。 过去的时候,转轮圣王在寿命八万岁的时候,因缘成熟,最初出现了由众人拥戴的国王。 他的后代有五位国王等,出现了无数的转轮圣王。 其中,由于前世业力的力量,有优劣之分,有金、银、铜、铁四种轮宝, 与之相应,国王的力量也依次统治四大部洲、三大部洲、两大部洲、一个部洲。 统治也有轮宝的差别。 像这样,以力量和美名为庄严,降下如意宝珠般的福德之雨, 统治四大部洲众生界的转轮王们,也只是无常的历史而已。 同样,导师圆满正等觉佛陀,也从寿命递减的无数劫开始, 到百岁之间,都出生在优良的种姓中,以妙相好庄严的金刚之身, 具足圆满,如金山须弥山,功德在世间无法衡量, 却在所化众生面前示现涅槃。 这二者在五浊恶世不会出现,因为众生烦恼深重,福德浅薄, 远离了善良的行为。 独觉佛们也同样,有增长和衰减两种情况。 像这样的器情世界的一切,没有其他的作者, 都是从众生迷惑的业相中产生,从各自的因缘中显现。 像这样,所呈现的各种形象,如果用微尘的道理来分析,是无法成立的, 从由旬、俱卢舍、弓、庹、肘、指,到 麦粒、虱子和螨虫、阳光微尘, 牛羊微尘、兔微尘和水铁微尘, 微尘是极微,是无分自性。 所有计算寿命和劫数的方法,都是不常住的,是刹那的自性, 大劫、中劫、年、月、日,须臾、瞬间,都是它的声音。
