English version They came to where the Buddha was, in order to behold the Tathagata, to bow, make offerings, and listen to the Dharma. There were also all the medicine deities in the grasses, trees, and forests, as well as all the mountain deities of Mount Sumeru (Sumeru), Mount Mahameru (Mahameru), Mount Mucilinda (Mucilinda), Mount Mahamucilinda (Mahamucilinda), the Snow Mountains (Himalaya), and Mount Cakravada (Cakravada); all the deities of the rivers, seas, ponds, cities, and villages, and the palace deities of the eight classes of beings, also came with their retinues to where the Buddha was, in order to behold the Tathagata, to bow, make offerings, and listen to the Dharma. There were also hundreds of billions of sun and moon deities, and the Dragon King Anavatapta (Anavatapta), each surrounded by countless retinues, who came to where the Buddha was, in order to behold the Tathagata, to bow, make offerings, and listen to the Dharma. These great assemblies, by the Buddha's divine power, did not obstruct each other, and there was no crowding. At that time, the World Honored One's light shone brightly, obscuring the entire assembly, like the full moon on the fifteenth day, which, having cleared away the clouds, shines brightly, eclipsing the stars, and like Mount Sumeru, the king of mountains, which stands firm and unmoving. The Tathagata's light universally obscured all the Sakra and Brahma deities, and his exalted and honored status was also like this. At that time, the youth Manjusri (Manjusri) said to the Bodhisattva Sarvanivaranaviskambhin (Sarvanivaranaviskambhin), 'The Tathagata is now abiding here, his body unmoving, do you know this?' He immediately replied, 'Manjusri! Although the Tathagata is now abiding here in this assembly without moving, some gods and humans see him leaving home to practice asceticism; or see him going to the Bodhi tree to sit in the place of enlightenment, subduing the demonic forces, and attaining supreme perfect enlightenment. The gods, dragon kings, Yakshas (Yaksa), Gandharvas (Gandharva), Asuras (Asura), Garudas (Garuda), Kinnaras (Kinnara), Mahoragas (Mahoraga), Sakra (Sakra), and the Lokapalas (Lokapala) all praise him, saying, 'Excellent! The great master is able to conquer the enemies!' Or they see Sakra and the Lokapalas requesting him to preach the Dharma; or they see him preaching the Dharma of giving; or they see him preaching the Dharma of keeping precepts, patience, diligence, meditation, wisdom, skillful means, power, vows, and knowledge; or they see him preaching the Dharma of the Sravaka Vehicle; or they see him preaching the Dharma of the Pratyekabuddha Vehicle; or they see him preaching the Dharma of the Supreme Vehicle.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version: Or they see the Buddha speaking about the laws of beings in the animal realm, the hungry ghost realm, the realm of Yamaraja (the lord of death), the Four Heavenly Kings' Heaven (Catuharajas), the Thirty-three Heavens (Trayastrimsa), and even the laws of rebirth in the Brahma-loka (the realm of Brahma). Or they see the Buddha speaking about the methods of being born into the human realm; or they see the Buddha speaking about the methods of becoming a Cakravartin (an ideal universal ruler). Furthermore, Manjusri (symbol of wisdom)! Among this assembly, some see the Tathagata (Buddha) with a height of one vyama (about eight feet); some see one Kuru (an ancient unit of length, about one and a half miles), or two Kurus; some see half a Yojana (an ancient unit of length, about seven kilometers), or one Yojana, or two Yojanas, or ten Yojanas, or a hundred, a thousand, or ten thousand Yojanas; some see fifty thousand, a hundred thousand, a million, or five million, and even some see Yojanas exceeding all numerical quantities. Or they see the Buddha's body as being of true golden color, or lapis lazuli color, or Indranila-mani (deep blue gem) color, or great blue mani color, or bright mani color, or red lotus mani color, or Sakya-vairya-mani (a type of gem) color, or diamond bright mani color, or heavenly light mani color, or sun and moon light mani color, or crystal mani color, or Sphatika-mani (crystal) color, or sovereign king mani color, or assembled light mani color, or lion garland mani color, or lion banner mani color, or ocean-dwelling pure light mani color, or Cintamani (wish-fulfilling gem) color. Depending on which form of the Tathagata beings should see to be tamed, their visions differ; depending on what Dharma they hear the Tathagata speak to be matured, their hearings differ; depending on which teachings they rely on to practice, each, by practicing as taught, all attain accomplishment. Manjusri! Suppose in the immeasurable, inconceivable, and incalculable worlds of the ten directions, there are beings filling them, such as Devas (gods), Nagas (dragons), Yakshas (nature spirits), Gandharvas (celestial musicians), Asuras (demigods), Garudas (mythical birds), Kinnaras (celestial musicians), Mahoragas (great serpents), Sakra-Brahma (Indra and Brahma), Lokapalas (world protectors), humans, and non-humans, as numerous as bamboo groves, sugarcane, and sesame seeds. If beings should see the Tathagata to be tamed, they see the Buddha's forms differently, facing them, standing at a height of one vyama, speaking the Dharma for them, and by practicing as taught, all attain accomplishment. Although the Tathagata performs such numerous deeds, they naturally manifest without discrimination. Man --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

殊师利!如满月轮夜半之时,阎浮提中一切众生各见月轮在其前现,是月未曾作念分别:‘令诸众生各睹我现。’法尔而有如是事起。如来亦尔,虽复普现诸众生前,亦不分别:‘令诸众生皆得见我现前而住。’但随众生可调伏者,各自见佛现在其前。何以故?随应众生不共法故。 “文殊师利!如一切众生由上中下业果力故,所作诸行亦有三品。而是诸行,终不自生三种分别,但由业故,自然有是上中下品诸行事起。如来亦尔,由诸众生业果力故,各自见佛;如来亦无上中下念,自然应现如是等事。 “文殊师利!如净颇梨置诸衣上作种种色:若在黄衣,便作黄色;在青赤衣,作青赤色。随其所置,虽作彼色,是净颇梨终无分别。如来亦尔,由众生感作种种色。若诸众生应见金色而调伏者,便见金色;若有应见琉璃、真珠、帝青、大青、集众光摩尼、海住净光摩尼、师子鬘摩尼、师子幢摩尼、电灯摩尼、水精摩尼,是诸宝色而调伏者,便见如来作如是等众宝色相。或有应以释梵、护世而调伏者,便见释梵、护世色相。如是乃至应以地狱、饿鬼、畜生、阎罗王处、色无色界;卵生、胎生、湿生、化生;有色、无色、有想、无想、非有想、非无想;随何趣生、威仪色相而调伏者,则见如来作如是等种种色相 现代汉语译本:文殊师利!就像满月在午夜时分,阎浮提(Jambudvipa,指我们所居住的这个世界)中的所有众生都能看到月亮出现在自己面前,而月亮并没有想过或分别:‘让所有众生都看到我出现。’这是自然而然发生的。如来(Tathagata,佛的称号)也是如此,虽然普遍显现在所有众生面前,也不会分别:‘让所有众生都看到我显现在他们面前。’只是随着众生可以被调伏的程度,他们各自看到佛出现在自己面前。这是为什么呢?因为这是随应众生不同的根器而有的不共之法。 文殊师利!就像所有众生由于上、中、下三种业果的力量,所做的各种行为也有三种品类。而这些行为,最终不会自己产生三种分别,只是由于业力的缘故,自然而然地产生上、中、下三种品类的行为。如来也是如此,由于众生业果的力量,各自看到佛;如来也没有上、中、下的分别念头,自然而然地显现出这样的事情。 文殊师利!就像清净的颇梨(Sphatika,一种透明的宝石)放在各种颜色的衣服上会呈现出不同的颜色:如果放在黄色的衣服上,就会呈现黄色;放在青色或红色的衣服上,就会呈现青色或红色。随着它所放置的位置,虽然呈现出不同的颜色,但清净的颇梨本身并没有分别。如来也是如此,由于众生的感应而呈现出各种颜色。如果众生应该看到金色才能被调伏,就会看到金色;如果应该看到琉璃(Vaiḍūrya,一种宝石)、真珠(Mukta,珍珠)、帝青(Indranila,深蓝色宝石)、大青(Mahanila,深蓝色宝石)、集众光摩尼(Sarvaratna-mani,聚集各种光芒的宝珠)、海住净光摩尼(Samudravasa-mani,海中发光的宝珠)、师子鬘摩尼(Simha-mala-mani,狮子鬃毛状的宝珠)、师子幢摩尼(Simha-dhvaja-mani,狮子旗帜状的宝珠)、电灯摩尼(Vidyut-pradipa-mani,像电灯一样发光的宝珠)、水精摩尼(Jala-mani,水晶宝珠)等各种宝色才能被调伏,就会看到如来呈现出这些宝色。或者,如果应该以释梵(Sakra-Brahma,帝释天和梵天)、护世(Lokapala,守护世界的诸神)的形象才能被调伏,就会看到释梵、护世的形象。乃至应该以地狱、饿鬼、畜生、阎罗王处、色无色界(Rupa-arupa-dhatu,佛教宇宙观中的不同境界);卵生、胎生、湿生、化生;有色、无色、有想、无想、非有想、非无想;无论在哪一道出生,以何种威仪色相才能被调伏,就会看到如来呈现出这些种种不同的色相。
