English version Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was in the city of Rājagṛha, on Mount Gṛdhrakūṭa, together with twelve hundred and fifty monks and ten thousand Bodhisattva Mahāsattvas. At that time, in the city of Rājagṛha, there was a daughter of an elder named Sumati, who was only eight years old. Her face was upright, her appearance beautiful, and she possessed all the marks of excellence. Those who saw her were filled with joy—she had in the past approached and made offerings to countless Buddhas, planting various roots of goodness. Then, this woman went to where the Tathāgata was, bowed at the Buddha's feet, circumambulated him three times to the right, knelt with her palms together, and spoke in verse: 'The unsurpassed, perfectly enlightened one (Anuttarā-samyak-saṃbodhi), is the great lamp of the world. The practice of the Bodhisattvas, I only wish you would listen to my questions.' The Buddha said to Sumati, 'Now you may ask whatever you wish, and I will explain it to you, so that you may cut off your doubts.' Then, Sumati immediately asked the Buddha in verse: 'How does one obtain a body that is upright, wealthy, and noble? And what are the causes and conditions that make it difficult for one's family to be broken apart? How does one see oneself, being born on a thousand-petaled lotus, facing all the World Honored Ones? How does one attain the unhindered and supreme spiritual powers, traveling to countless Buddha-lands, paying homage to all the Buddhas? How does one become free from enemies, have one's words believed by others, purify the hindrances to the Dharma, and forever be free from all demonic activities? How does one, at the time of death, see all the Buddhas, hear the pure Dharma, and not suffer distress? Great compassionate and unsurpassed World Honored One! I only wish you would explain this to me.' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 。”
