天物的鲜花、衣服、伞和胜幢等云之雨,菩萨和佛陀的言语所发出的赞叹之巨大声音的云之雨等降临。从十方世界无数不可言说的八十个微尘数量之外,无数不可言说的八十个极微尘数量的佛土中,所有名字都与普贤相同的菩萨都来了,他们赞叹并欣喜地说:‘他们也在我们的国土中像这样用文字和语言宣说佛法。’宣讲此法,菩萨获得了无数佛土极微尘数量的菩萨禅定和神通,并被授记将在一生中证得圆满菩提。无数佛土极微尘数量的众生发起了无上圆满菩提心,并被授记未来将成为名为佛土圆满的佛陀。未来,正如四大部洲的众生了解并被调伏一样,十方世界直至虚空边际的一切众生也将被调伏。’同样,无数不可言说的十个微尘数量的佛土中的菩萨,名字都与普贤相同,也赞叹了。然后,在菩萨眷属的大集会中,菩萨普贤刚一入于名为《佛华严》的禅定,十方世界法界和直至虚空边际的一切都发生了六种震动,并剧烈摇动,使所有人都明白,从该禅定中起身时,大菩萨普贤慧以菩萨们的共同原因、奇妙的观念和行

Rains of clouds of divine flowers, garments, umbrellas, and victory banners, and rains of clouds of great sounds of praise from the speech of Bodhisattvas and Buddhas, and so on, descended. From beyond eighty incalculable hundreds of thousands of billions of dust motes of the ten directions' world realms, all those Bodhisattvas whose names are the same as Samantabhadra came, and they praised and rejoiced, saying, 'They also teach the Dharma in our realms just like this with words and letters.' By teaching this Dharma, Bodhisattvas obtained all the Bodhisattva's samadhi and clairvoyance of hundreds of thousands of billions of fine dust motes of Buddha-fields, and they were prophesied to attain complete enlightenment in one lifetime. Hundreds of thousands of billions of fine dust motes of Buddha-fields of sentient beings generated the mind of unsurpassed complete enlightenment, and they were prophesied to become Buddhas in the future in a Buddha-field called 'Perfectly Endowed.' In the future, just as the sentient beings of the four continents know and are tamed, so too, in all the ten directions' world realms, reaching the limit of space, all sentient beings will be tamed.' Likewise, Bodhisattvas in hundreds of thousands of billions of incalculable Buddha-fields, whose names are the same as Samantabhadra, also praised. Then, in the midst of the great assembly of the Bodhisattva retinue, as soon as that Bodhisattva Samantabhadra entered into the samadhi called 'Buddha Avatamsaka,' all the ten directions' world realms, the sphere of Dharma, and reaching the limit of space, shook and trembled in six ways, making them all understand, and upon arising from that samadhi, the great Bodhisattva Samantabhadra, with his wisdom, the common cause of the Bodhisattvas, the wondrous conceptions, and the ac

从诞生到完全涅槃之间的两百多个问题被提出后,普贤菩萨在那里也用十种方式详细阐述了名为“菩萨行圆满清净”的法门时,无量无数的世界震动,巨大的光明遍布。十方诸佛世尊也向普贤菩萨展现喜悦的容颜,并广为赞叹。之后,商主之子宝贤获得了如虚空般不可思议的行境之海,因渴望见到普贤菩萨而瞻仰如来座上的狮子宝座。凭借他清净的意念之力,以及一切如来的加持,以及普贤菩萨往昔的善根和共同的福报,出现了十种将要见到普贤菩萨的预兆。即,一切佛土都因菩提之精华的庄严而变得清净,一切佛土都没有八无暇和恶趣等等,以及无量的庄严陈设,以及众生都变得清净等等这样的预兆。此外,见到普贤菩萨的预兆是,一切佛土的每一个微尘中都显现一切如来的光网等等,显现不可思议的云彩变幻的十种景象。开启了见到普贤菩萨的机缘。心想,见到他就像获得一切智一样。获得了不可思议的不退转解脱的力量,因此菩萨普贤获得了与一切如来同等之性。随顺三世平等之性。具有不可思议的、不被夺取的行境。具有无边智慧的境界。被一切菩萨所瞻仰。压倒一切世间。被一切眷属的坛城所追随。具有殊胜的境界。那位世尊。

After more than two hundred questions from birth to complete nirvana were asked, when the Bodhisattva Samantabhadra also explained in detail in ten ways the Dharma gate called "Purifying the Conduct of Bodhisattvas Completely," the immeasurable and countless realms of the world shook and were pervaded by great light. The Buddhas, the Bhagavat, of the ten directions also showed their joyful faces to Samantabhadra and extensively praised him. Then, the son of the merchant, Ratnabhadra, attained the ocean of inconceivable conduct like the expanse of the sky, and, longing to see the Bodhisattva Samantabhadra, gazed upon the lion throne on the seat of the Tathagata. By the power of his pure thought, and the blessings of all the Tathagatas, and the past virtues and shared fortune of the Bodhisattva Samantabhadra, ten omens appeared that would lead to seeing Samantabhadra. Namely, all Buddha-fields became pure with the essence of the adornment of enlightenment, and in all fields there were no unfavorable conditions or evil destinies, etc., and immeasurable decorations, and beings became completely pure, and so on. Furthermore, the omen of seeing Samantabhadra was that in each atom of all fields appeared the net of light of all the Tathagatas, etc., seeing ten kinds of inconceivable clouds of transformation. The opportunity to see the Bodhisattva Samantabhadra was opened. Thinking that seeing him was like attaining omniscience. Having obtained the inconceivable power of irreversible liberation, therefore the Bodhisattva Samantabhadra obtained equality with all the Tathagatas. Following the equality of the three times. Having an inconceivable, unseizable realm of activity. Possessing the realm of limitless wisdom. Being beheld by all Bodhisattvas. Overpowering all worlds. Being followed by all the mandalas of retinues. Possessing a supremely excellent realm. That Bhagavan.

In the presence of the Tathagata Vairochana, I saw a Bodhisattva seated on the heart of a great lotus on a lion throne in the midst of an ocean of Bodhisattva retinues. From each and every pore of his body, many clouds of light rays, as numerous as the fine dust of all world realms, emanated, illuminating all the world realms pervaded by the realm of Dharma, reaching the limits of space, pacifying the suffering of sentient beings. From the mandala of his body, many clouds of various colors, as numerous as the extremely fine dust of Buddha-fields, emanated, greatly increasing the joy and faith of all Bodhisattvas. I also saw that from his crown, both shoulders, and all the pores of his body, many clouds of fragrant light-radiating rain of various colors emanated, filling and descending upon the mandala of the retinues of all the Tathagatas. From each and every pore, clouds of flower rain, clouds of various fragrant trees, clouds of various garments, clouds of various five-colored garlands, clouds of various pearls, clouds of wish-fulfilling jewels, clouds of precious trees, images of gods of the Form Realm, images of gods belonging to the Brahma lineage, images of gods of the Desire Realm, clouds of the body of Indra, clouds showing various pure and impure Buddha-fields, clouds showing the bodies of Buddhas with Bodhisattva retinues in pure Buddha-fields, clouds of the bodies of all sentient beings, clouds of the bodies of Bodhisattvas, clouds of Samantabhadra's conduct, and clouds similar to Samantabhadra's conduct. From each of these, clouds as numerous as the extremely fine dust of all Buddha-fields manifestly emanated, and each of these filled and expanded all the realms of the Dharma realm and boundless space, thereby offering and praising all the Tathagatas, upholding the Dharma, and ripening the ocean of sentient beings through various means.

我看到获得解脱。像这样看到后,商人的儿子诺桑自己欢喜踊跃,生起喜悦,更加增上地,在菩萨普贤的身体和每一个肢节,以及肢节的每一个部分,以及身体的每一个部分乃至每一个毛孔的每一个部分中,从大千世界的风轮到有色和无色之间,器情世间的一切显现,连同时间,都如影像般显现。如同这世间一样,十方世界的一切佛刹,连同诸佛出世和菩萨眷属,也都得见。此娑婆世界过去无尽的世代相续,所有诸佛出世,以及所有菩萨和有情众生,连同他们的处所,这一切都可在普贤大士的每一个名号中见到。同样,也可看到未来无尽的无量佛土。同样,十方世界一切佛刹过去和未来无尽的边际,一切世代相续,都可在普贤菩萨身体的每一个名号和每一个毛孔中互不混杂地见到。如同普贤菩萨在毗卢遮那佛的跟前安住一样,在东方世界莲花庄严刹土中,也在善名称吉祥如来跟前,示现同样的游舞而安住等等,十方世界一切佛刹的如来跟前安住,并且在十方一切刹土的每一极微尘中,如同法界般广大的佛陀坛城中,菩萨普贤在一切如来的足下,坐在狮子座大莲花藏上,示现同样的游舞,我都见到了。从他的身体的每一个部分,也如影像般显现过去、现在、未来三世的一切对境,一切刹土和一切诸佛以及所有菩萨都显现。

I saw liberation being attained. Having seen this, the merchant's son Norzang himself rejoiced and was delighted, and even more so, in each and every limb of the Bodhisattva Samantabhadra's body, and each and every part of the limbs, and from each and every part of the body to each and every pore, even in each and every part, from the great thousandfold world's wind mandala to the realm between form and formlessness, all appearances of the container and its contents, together with time, appeared like reflections. Just as in this world, all the realms of the ten directions, together with the Buddhas' arising and the Bodhisattvas' retinues, were also seen. All the past endless successions of worlds of this Saha world, as many Buddhas arising, and as many Bodhisattvas and sentient beings, together with their abodes, all of that was seen even in each and every name of the great being Samantabhadra. Likewise, the endless Buddhafields of the future were also seen. Similarly, all the past and future endless boundaries of all the realms of the ten directions, all successions from one to the next, were seen without confusion in each and every name of Samantabhadra's body and each and every pore. Just as Samantabhadra was abiding in the presence of the Tathagata Vairochana, so too, in the eastern world, in the realm of Lotus Glory, in the presence of the Tathagata Good Name Glory, he was also showing this very display of play and abiding, and so forth, abiding in the presence of the Tathagatas of all the realms of the ten directions, and even within each and every extremely minute particle of all the realms of the ten directions, in the Buddha mandala as vast as the Dharmadhatu, the Bodhisattva Samantabhadra, at the feet of all the Tathagatas, sitting on a lion throne with a great lotus heart, showing this very display of play, I saw. From each and every part of his body, all the objects of focus arising in the three times also appeared like reflections, all realms and all Buddhas and all Bodhisattvas appeared.
