English version The Buddha was in Mount Gṛdhrakūṭa (Vulture Peak) in the city of Rājagṛha, together with ten thousand Bodhisattvas, twelve hundred and fifty Bhikṣus (monks), and numerous Upāsakas (male lay practitioners), Upāsikās (female lay practitioners), Deva kings, Brahmā, as well as people, ghosts, dragons, and countless other beings. Prince Heshū, the son of King Ajātaśatru, along with five hundred sons of elders, each holding golden flower parasols, departed from Rājagṛha and followed the prince to the place where the Buddha was. After offering their parasols to the Buddha, they clasped their hands, bowed their heads to the ground in reverence, and then stood before the Buddha. The prince, with his hands clasped, said to the Buddha, 'For what reason does a Bodhisattva attain a handsome appearance? For what reason are they not born from a woman's womb but are instead born from a lotus flower? For what reason do they know their past lives? May the Buddha bestow great grace and explain these matters to me.' The Buddha told the prince, 'If a Bodhisattva is patient and does not become angry, in their future lives, they will be born with a handsome appearance. If a Bodhisattva does not engage in sexual misconduct and does not have intercourse with women, in their future lives, they will not be born from a woman's womb but will instead be born from a lotus flower. If a Bodhisattva delights in upholding the precepts and teaching others, in their future lives, they will naturally know their countless past lives.' The prince said to the Buddha, 'For what reason does a Bodhisattva have the thirty-two marks (Lakṣaṇa) of a great being? For what reason do they have the eighty minor marks (Anuvyañjana)? For what reason do people never tire of looking at the Buddha's form?' The Buddha told the prince, 'When a Bodhisattva was in their past lives, they were happy to give to others. Whatever others asked for, whether it was clothing, food, gold, silver, precious jewels, carriages, horses, servants, wives, or even their own flesh, head, and eyes, they never refused and had no greed or attachment. Therefore, they attained the thirty-two marks. A Bodhisattva, with a compassionate heart, pities all beings, including people and all creatures that crawl and fly,' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A Bodhisattva views enemies as their parents, their mind is equal and without differentiation, and therefore, people who see the Buddha's form never tire of looking at it.

A Bodhisattva is always in a state of meditative calm, and therefore attains the peace of Samadhi. A Bodhisattva's words are always sincere and truthful, and therefore their words are trustworthy, and all who hear them rejoice.' The Crown Prince asked the Buddha, 'For what reason are a Bodhisattva's actions, words, and thoughts pure and undefiled? For what reason can Mara not find an opportunity to interfere? For what reason do people not dare to slander the Buddha's teachings and the path? And not dare to slander the Bhikkhu Sangha?' The Buddha told the Crown Prince, 'A Bodhisattva delights in serving the Buddha, delights in the Buddha's teachings and the path, and delights in the Bhikkhu Sangha, and therefore attains purity. A Bodhisattva practices diligently day and night, and therefore Mara cannot find an opportunity to interfere. A Bodhisattva's words are always sincere and truthful, and therefore people do not dare to slander the Buddha's teachings and the path, and do not dare to slander the Bhikkhu Sangha.' The Crown Prince asked the Buddha, 'For what reason does a Bodhisattva attain longevity? For what reason do they have no illness? For what reason is their family harmonious and not separated by others?' The Buddha told the Crown Prince, 'A Bodhisattva is compassionate and does not kill, and therefore attains longevity in future lives. A Bodhisattva does not use weapons to frighten others, and therefore has no illness in future lives. A Bodhisattva sees people fighting and likes to mediate and reconcile them, and therefore is not separated from others in future lives.' The Crown Prince asked the Buddha, 'For what reason does a Bodhisattva easily obtain wealth and become rich without difficulty? For what reason do they not lose their wealth and are not robbed? For what reason do they attain a position of honor and nobility?' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 耶？”

English version 'Eh?' The Buddha told the prince, 'Bodhisattvas are wise and not foolish. Therefore, it is not difficult for them to obtain great wealth. Bodhisattvas are fond of giving, not greedy or stingy with what they have left, and do not lose their possessions. When they see others wealthy and happy, they are not jealous. Therefore, they become respected. Bodhisattvas do not kill and are not arrogant. Therefore, they become noble and wealthy.' The prince asked the Buddha, 'What is the cause and condition for a Bodhisattva to obtain the heavenly eye that can see everything? What is the cause and condition for a Bodhisattva to obtain the heavenly ear that can hear everything? What is the cause and condition for a Bodhisattva to know the good and evil destinations of sentient beings in the cycle of birth and death?' The Buddha told the prince, 'Bodhisattvas like to light lamps in Buddhist temples. Therefore, they obtain the heavenly eye that can see everything. Bodhisattvas like to play music in Buddhist temples. Therefore, they obtain the heavenly ear that can hear everything. Bodhisattvas enter samadhi and obtain the power of meditation. Therefore, they know the good and evil destinations of sentient beings in the cycle of birth and death.' The prince asked the Buddha, 'What is the cause and condition for a Bodhisattva to obtain the four supernatural powers of free flight? What is the cause and condition for a Bodhisattva to remember countless kalpas of past lives? What is the cause and condition for a Bodhisattva to enter Nirvana immediately after becoming a Buddha?' The Buddha told the prince, 'Bodhisattvas give away chariots, horses, elephants, mules, donkeys, camels, shoes, and other things to others. Therefore, they obtain the four supernatural powers of free flight. Bodhisattvas like to remember the samadhi and supernatural powers of all Buddhas, learn from them, and like to teach others. Therefore, they can remember countless kalpas of past lives. Bodhisattvas attain the mind of the Buddha, without any attachments. Therefore, they enter Parinirvana and end their lives immediately after becoming a Buddha.' The prince asked the Buddha, 'What is the cause and condition for a Bodhisattva to prepare and govern a Buddha-land in advance? What is the cause and condition for a Bodhisattva to know in advance that there will be a community of Bhikkhus in the future? What is the cause and condition for a Bodhisattva to obtain light that illuminates all directions?' The Buddha told the prince, 'Bodhisattvas often make great vows. Therefore, they prepare and govern a Buddha-land in advance. Bodhisattvas give to the people and like to teach others to practice the Six Paramitas. Therefore, there will be a community of Bhikkhus in the future. Bodhisattvas use seven precious materials to make umbrellas to offer to the Buddha and Buddhist temples. Therefore, they obtain light that illuminates all directions.' The Buddha explained these matters in detail to the prince, and the prince was very happy. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 喜，及五百长者子皆大欢喜。
