English version: Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was in Mount Gṛdhrakūṭa (Vulture Peak) in Rājagṛha, together with a multitude of great Bodhisattvas, with Maitreya Bodhisattva Mahasattva as their leader. At that time, from the east, there were ten billion Brahmās, all dwelling in loving-kindness, who came to the place where the Buddha was, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and offered various exquisite offerings to the Buddha. Having completed their offerings, they each sat upon lotus seats born of accumulated merit, respectfully and reverently gazing at the Tathāgata; from the south, north, west, the four intermediate directions, and above and below, all the Brahmās who came were also like this. At that time, the assembly of Brahmās, being in the presence of the Buddha, each looked at one another with loving eyes; and together, at the same time, they relaxed their faces and gazed attentively at Maitreya Bodhisattva. Then, Maitreya Bodhisattva Mahasattva rose from his seat, bared his right shoulder, knelt with his palms together, and said to the Buddha: 'Great Virtuous One, World Honored One, the All-Knowing One, you are able to rightly awaken to the nature of all dharmas; you know the good and evil deeds of all sentient beings, and because of this, ordinary foolish beings transmigrate through birth and death; you are skilled in enlightening the paths of the Three Vehicles (Triyāna: Śrāvakayāna, Pratyekabuddhayāna, Bodhisattvayāna), and the Three Vehicles ultimately return to the One Vehicle (Ekayāna). All sentient beings, with their different natures, and within the entanglements of afflictions, possess the Tathāgatagarbha (Buddha-nature), which you universally see clearly, without any error. You also know that all dharmas are empty, like dreams, illusions, and mirages, without any substance; yet your great compassion is inexhaustible, and with skillful means, you enable ordinary beings to see the subtle form of the Buddha's body; the Buddha's body is accomplished by Prajñāpāramitā (Perfection of Wisdom), naturally real, eternally abiding, and unchanging, like space. If there are sentient beings who diligently cultivate merit and wisdom, and do not follow their minds, rushing after external objects, not like thirsty deer in the wilderness, pursuing mirages as water; such people will be able to see the Buddha.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

，恒闻说法，亦能依教，如理修行。世尊！我今欲于如来、应、正等觉少有所问，唯愿慈哀，为我宣说。世尊！菩萨云何，于阿耨多罗三藐三菩提，少用功力，安乐无倦，而能速证广大佛法？菩萨云何，在生死中，不受无量众苦逼迫，于诸佛法速得圆满？” 尔时世尊，告弥勒菩萨摩诃萨言：“善哉弥勒！汝于我所，常有所问；今所问义，最顺我心。汝今哀愍诸天及人一切世间，无量众生，多所利益，多所安乐，故能问我如是之义；吾当为汝，分别演说，令诸菩萨，不经勤苦，而能速疾证佛菩提。 “佛子！若有众生，为求菩提，而修诸行，愿常安乐者，应修慈心以自调伏。如是修习，于念念中，常具修行六波罗蜜，速能逮及诸忍之地，速得圆满无上正觉，具足十力、四无所畏、十八不共法、三十二相、八十种好，最上功德，庄严其身；尽于未来，常住安乐；亦能除灭，一切众生无始已来诸业重障。 “佛子，若诸菩萨，修习慈心，应在空闲寂静之处，以清净信，摄诸心法，观察其身上下支节，皆微尘聚，地水火风和合所成；复应思惟，即彼一一微尘之内，皆有虚空；是诸虚空，莫不悉以容受为相。又应想念，彼诸微尘，清净明彻外如琉璃，内如紫金，庄严妙好，柔软芬馥。复应观察一切世界所有 现代汉语译本：经常听闻佛法，也能依照教导，如理修行。世尊！我现在想向如来（Tathagata）、应（Arhat）、正等觉（Samyaksambuddha）请教一些问题，只希望您慈悲怜悯，为我宣说。世尊！菩萨如何才能在证得阿耨多罗三藐三菩提（Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi，无上正等正觉）时，少用功力，安乐无倦，而能迅速证得广大的佛法？菩萨如何才能在生死轮回中，不受无量众苦的逼迫，迅速圆满成就诸佛的教法？” 那时，世尊告诉弥勒菩萨摩诃萨（Maitreya Bodhisattva Mahasattva）说：‘善哉，弥勒！你常常向我请教问题；今天所问的道理，最合我的心意。你现在哀悯诸天和人以及一切世间无量众生，为他们带来许多利益和安乐，所以能问我这样的道理；我应当为你分别演说，使诸菩萨不经历勤苦，而能迅速证得佛菩提（Buddha-bodhi，佛的智慧）。’ ‘佛子！如果有众生，为了求得菩提（Bodhi，觉悟）而修行各种善行，希望常常安乐，就应当修习慈心来调伏自己。这样修习，在每一个念头中，都具备修行六波罗蜜（Six Paramitas，六度），迅速能够达到诸忍之地，迅速证得圆满无上的正觉，具足十力（Ten Powers）、四无所畏（Four Fearlessnesses）、十八不共法（Eighteen Unique Qualities）、三十二相（Thirty-two Marks）、八十种好（Eighty Minor Marks），最上功德，庄严自身；尽未来际，常住安乐；也能消除一切众生无始以来诸业的深重障碍。’ ‘佛子，如果诸菩萨修习慈心，应当在空闲寂静之处，以清净的信心，摄持诸心法，观察自己的身体，上下肢节，都是微尘聚集而成，由地、水、火、风四大元素和合而成；又应当思维，即使在那每一个微尘之内，都有虚空；这些虚空，没有不以容纳为相的。又应当想念，那些微尘，清净明亮，外如琉璃，内如紫金，庄严美妙，柔软芬芳。又应当观察一切世界所有’

English version: Constantly hearing the Dharma, and also being able to follow the teachings, practicing accordingly. World Honored One! Now I wish to ask the Tathagata (如来), Arhat (应), and Samyaksambuddha (正等觉) some questions, I only hope that you will be compassionate and explain them to me. World Honored One! How can a Bodhisattva, in attaining Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi (阿耨多罗三藐三菩提, unsurpassed, right and perfect enlightenment), use little effort, be peaceful and tireless, and quickly realize the vast Buddha Dharma? How can a Bodhisattva, in the cycle of birth and death, not be oppressed by immeasurable suffering, and quickly and completely achieve the teachings of all Buddhas? At that time, the World Honored One said to Maitreya Bodhisattva Mahasattva (弥勒菩萨摩诃萨): 'Excellent, Maitreya! You often ask me questions; the meaning of what you ask today is most in accordance with my heart. You now have compassion for the heavens and humans and all the immeasurable beings in the world, bringing them much benefit and peace, so you are able to ask me such a question; I shall explain it to you in detail, so that the Bodhisattvas, without experiencing hardship, can quickly attain Buddha-bodhi (佛菩提, the wisdom of the Buddha).' 'Buddha-son! If there are beings who, in seeking Bodhi (菩提, enlightenment), cultivate various good deeds, and wish to always be peaceful, they should cultivate loving-kindness to subdue themselves. By cultivating in this way, in every thought, they will possess the practice of the Six Paramitas (六波罗蜜), quickly reach the stages of forbearance, quickly attain complete and unsurpassed enlightenment, possess the Ten Powers (十力), the Four Fearlessnesses (四无所畏), the Eighteen Unique Qualities (十八不共法), the Thirty-two Marks (三十二相), the Eighty Minor Marks (八十种好), the supreme merits, adorning their bodies; for the rest of the future, they will dwell in peace; and they will also eliminate the heavy obstacles of all beings' karma from beginningless time.' 'Buddha-son, if the Bodhisattvas cultivate loving-kindness, they should be in a secluded and quiet place, with pure faith, gather all mental dharmas, observe their own bodies, the upper and lower limbs, all being aggregates of dust particles, formed by the combination of the four great elements of earth, water, fire, and wind; they should also contemplate that even within each of those dust particles, there is space; these spaces, without exception, all have the characteristic of containing. They should also contemplate that those dust particles are pure and bright, outwardly like crystal, inwardly like purple gold, adorned beautifully, soft and fragrant. They should also observe all the worlds and all' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version: Sentient beings, each sentient being's every limb, and every mote of dust of each limb, are all like this. If all Bodhisattvas, having made such a firm understanding regarding all sentient beings in their own and others' bodies, should further contemplate their own motes of dust, each mote containing a Buddha-land; within which are palaces made of lapis lazuli, with silver doors, and golden pillars, vast and magnificent, with light and shadow penetrating, jeweled halls interspersed, surrounded by jeweled walls, jeweled pavilions and towers, distributed everywhere; within each are heavenly jeweled beds, with layers of soft cushions and ornate brocade rugs laid upon them; and also countless excellent gardens, surrounding and adorning; in these gardens, there are bathing ponds, all with banks made of the seven treasures, with golden railings surrounding them on all sides, clear springs flowing and pouring into them, fragrant powder as mud, interspersed with golden sand, the eight merits of water, filling them clear and pure; Padmas (lotuses), Utpalas (blue lotuses), Kumudas (red lotuses), Pundarikas (white lotuses), and lotuses in full bloom, spread all over them; around the ponds, there are many jeweled trees, with pearls as flowers, their colors vibrant; their fruits ripe, with complete fragrance and flavor, under these trees, heavenly jeweled seats are placed; before each seat, jeweled vessels are arranged, filled with ambrosia and delicious food. One should also contemplate that all such Buddha-lands, with blue lapis lazuli as their ground, adorned with various wonderful seven treasures; in these lands, all the motes of dust, pure and subtle, like heavenly treasures, their light shining brightly, like the blazing sun, their color beautiful like Jambu-gold (a type of gold), their fragrance like Uraka sandalwood (a type of fragrant wood), their texture soft like Kacaneya cloth (a type of soft cloth), touching the body can produce joy. Having made such contemplation, one should then contemplate, from the East, all the sentient beings of all worlds, coming into the palaces of my Buddha-lands; to the South, West, North, the four intermediate directions, and above and below, all the sentient beings of those worlds, are also like this. One should also contemplate that all sentient beings of the six realms, have the same dignified bearing, similar appearances, their bodies soft, and always fragrant. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
