为了摄受安住的人们,为了成熟菩萨们,去到他的跟前,询问所有菩萨的行持,那是什么原因呢?慈氏(弥勒)已经进入所有菩萨的行持,通达领悟所有众生的心,并随之修行,使所有众生完全成熟,圆满了波罗蜜多,安住于所有菩萨的地,获得了所有功德。那位善知识会使你的善根、菩提心和菩萨的根基等所有功德增长,并且会显示普贤行。不要以行走、愿望、功德等为满足,必须像众生界边际一样圆满无量菩萨的行持。因此,寻找善知识不应感到厌倦。所有菩萨的行持都依赖于善知识,从善知识中产生,由善知识所生等,说了许多赞叹的功德。因此,为了以不间断的作意亲近善知识,就像以不厌倦地尊重所有重担的心等,广泛地显示了依止善知识的方式一样。菩萨诺桑以对善知识极度欢喜的解脱,安住于殊胜的境界,以智慧之眼观看着进入无量智慧之境,从宝楼阁遍照庄严的心髓之门,以所有身体俯伏顶礼。以他的胜解和愿力的力量,自身显现在所有如来面前、所有菩萨面前、所有善知识的处所、佛塔、圣者僧团、上师和父母之间。以那种方式,以充满所有法界的方式,顶礼和礼拜,并且也加持到未来际的边际,永不间断,并随顺于平等性的甚深菩萨的

In order to gather the people who abide and to ripen the Bodhisattvas, go to him and ask about all the practices of the Bodhisattvas. Why is that? Maitreya has entered into all the practices of the Bodhisattvas, understands and comprehends the minds of all sentient beings, and follows them in practice. He makes all sentient beings fully mature and has perfected the Paramitas. He abides in all the Bodhisattva grounds and has obtained all the qualities. That virtuous friend will increase all your roots of virtue, Bodhicitta, and the qualities such as the Bodhisattva's faculties, and will show the practice of Samantabhadra. Do not be satisfied with walking, aspirations, qualities, etc. You must perfect the immeasurable Bodhisattva practices as far as the end of the realm of sentient beings. Therefore, one should not be weary of seeking a virtuous friend. All the practices of the Bodhisattvas depend on the virtuous friend, arise from him, are born from him, etc. Having spoken many praises of the qualities, therefore, in order to attend to the virtuous friend with uninterrupted attention, just as the way to rely on the virtuous friend was extensively shown with the mind of not being weary of respecting all burdens, etc. Bodhisattva Norzang, with the liberation of supreme joy towards the virtuous friend, abiding in an excellent state, looked with the eye of wisdom entering the immeasurable realm of wisdom, and prostrated with all his body from the core gate of the Jewel Tower Vairochana's Ornament. By the power of his aspiration and prayer, he himself appeared in front of all the Tathagatas, all the Bodhisattvas, all the places of virtuous friends, stupas, the assembly of noble ones, between the Guru and parents. In that way, by filling all the Dharmadhatu, he bowed and prostrated, and also blessed him to the end of the future, without interruption, and followed the profound Bodhisattva of equality.

Various birds dwell and say: "Because you have attained great compassion, you are pure. Loving friend, great glorious one, diligently benefiting the world. Abiding in the place of empowerment, you are the eldest son of the Victorious One. Contemplating the Buddha-field, you conduct yourself accordingly. Those sons of the Victorious One who possess great renown, abide in the realm of great wisdom's conduct and liberation. And those who roam unimpeded in all the realms of Dharma, those incomparable ones, their abode is like this." After reciting these and other verses, they rejoice to see Maitreya and abide there. The Bodhisattva Maitreya, from another direction outside that mansion, is worshipped by retinues of hundreds and thousands of beings, and by many lords such as Indra, Brahma, the protectors of the world, and gods, nagas, yakshas, etc. Seeing hundreds and thousands of Brahmins coming around the side of that mansion, he was overjoyed and felt at ease. The Bodhisattva Maitreya, looking to where he appeared, prostrated with his whole body from afar. Then, the Bodhisattva Maitreya looked at Wealthy Good and, pointing with his right hand to all the retinue, said: "Look at this one whose mind is completely pure, Wealthy Good, the most steadfast son of wealth. Seeking the supreme conduct of enlightenment, the wise one comes near to me." He spoke these and other verses of praise of his qualities. Then, Wealthy Good sat before Maitreya and said: "O Holy One, if I enter into unsurpassed enlightenment, for the sake of asking how Bodhisattvas should train and diligently practice, the Holy Maitreya, who is bound by one lifetime to attain unsurpassed enlightenment, is the most excellent of all the conduct of Bodhisattvas, the Bodhisattva who has entered flawlessly, who has perfected all the perfections and the door of patience, and all the grounds of Bodhisattvas and all the doors of liberation, and all the qualities such as samadhi, dharani, eloquence, and clairvoyance, who holds the treasury of the Buddha's Dharma and the secret treasury, who has become the physician for all beings afflicted by the disease of afflictions, who is the most excellent of all beings.

Is, the lord of all worldly lords, the eldest of all noble beings, the chief of all Shravakas and Pratyekabuddhas, the refuge of all who wander in the ocean of Samsara, appearing in the mandala of all Buddhas' retinues and all places of beings, unblemished by all worldly dharmas, transcending all realms of Mara, following all Buddha lands, attaining unimpeded access to all Bodhisattva realms, abiding in the great Dharma kingship, having obtained the means to empower the realm of omniscient wisdom, having obtained the means to wield power over omniscient wisdom. O Noble One, if we diligently study the conduct of a Bodhisattva, we will attain all the Buddha's teachings, fulfill the intentions of all sentient beings, and not cut off the lineage of the Three Jewels. Please grant us such teachings. The Bodhisattva Maitreya looked upon the entire assembly and said to the merchant's son Norzang: "Merchant's son Norzang, in order to accomplish the conduct of a Bodhisattva, with unwavering aspiration and diligence, without tiring of seeking and serving virtuous friends, having been sent forth by Manjushri Kumara, starting from near the city of Shri Utpala, traversing all the southern regions, questioning one hundred and ten virtuous friends, finally arriving at my presence with unflagging aspiration. Thus, entering the great vow of the Mahayana, it is for the purpose of completely protecting all sentient beings." Having praised him greatly in this way, he continued, "Son of good family, the mind of enlightenment is like the seed of all the Buddha's teachings." In this way, through the door of metaphors, he extensively praised the virtues of the mind of enlightenment. "Son of good family, what you asked about how a Bodhisattva should train, is to enter into the essence of this great mansion adorned with the illuminator, and look, and you will understand." Having said this, he made the sound of a bell at the door of the mansion, and the door opened by itself.

After entering, Norzang saw magnificent houses as vast as the realm of space, adorned with immeasurable decorations. Inside, hundreds and thousands of other pavilions appeared, just like before. These pavilions were distinct from each other, and as one pavilion was, so were all the pavilions appearing as reflections. Seeing such a grand sight, his joy increased greatly, and he prostrated. Through the power of Maitreya, he knew that he had entered all those pavilions. Those pavilions also manifested inconceivable magical realms, appearing in many diverse forms. In some pavilions, he saw and understood in which lineage Maitreya Bodhisattva was first born, as well as his name, clan, and so on, how he accumulated virtuous roots, and from which Tathagata he generated the mind of enlightenment, and he fully comprehended all these details. At that time, he knew that he remained in the presence of that Buddha for as long as the lifespan of those beings and the Tathagata, and he saw those deeds. Similarly, in some pavilions, he learned from where Maitreya first attained the Maitreya Samadhi, and from where he obtained the name Maitreya. Similarly, in some pavilions, he saw where Maitreya practiced, in some pavilions, he saw Maitreya perfecting the Paramitas, in some pavilions, he entered into forbearance, in some pavilions, he attained the Bodhisattva grounds, in some pavilions, he upheld the adornments of the Buddha's Pure Land, in some pavilions, he upheld the Buddha's teachings, in some pavilions, he obtained forbearance of non-arising phenomena, in some pavilions, he received the prophecy of perfect enlightenment, and so on. In some pavilions, Maitreya Bodhisattva became a Chakravartin king, guiding beings to the path of the ten virtues; in some pavilions, he became the protector of the world; in some pavilions, he became Indra, and so on, benefiting beings through various birth stories. In some pavilions, Maitreya pacified suffering in the three lower realms. Similarly, in all realms such as the heavens, Maitreya taught the Dharma. Similarly, from the first Bodhisattva to the tenth-ground Bodhisattva, Maitreya showed various Dharma gates. In some pavilions, he practiced the Dharma, engaged in crafts and other activities, recited scriptures, wrote sacred texts, and practiced various different Samadhis.
