English version: The wise ones expound the Dharma for beings, viewing the three realms equally as empty and without substance. They aspire to seek the Buddha's teachings, possessing various eloquence, and are able to eliminate the afflictions and sufferings of beings. They are born from the teachings of the Tathagata, understanding the suchness (tathata) of all dharmas, skilled in knowing the path of habit and cessation, and adept at using sound as a skillful means. They do not delight in worldly speech, but are pleased to discuss the truth of the Dharma, cultivating various good deeds, and aspiring to revere the path of the Buddha. They understand that all dharmas are inherently quiescent, and the afflictions born of the body and other habits are completely extinguished. Upon hearing the profound Dharma, their hearts do not doubt or fear, and they are always able to practice great compassion. Their wisdom is profound and subtle, encompassing all, ultimately reaching the other shore of the One Vehicle (Ekayana). They can resolve doubts, wisdom arises from within, and they are unobstructed in their understanding of the Buddha's teachings. Their wisdom is as vast as the ocean, their samadhi is as firm as a mountain king, the light of their wisdom is pure and surpasses the sun and moon, and their pure dharmas are complete and perfect. They are ‘like a snow mountain,’ illuminating all merits, making them equally pure; ‘like the earth,’ having no discriminating mind towards purity and impurity, good and bad; ‘like pure water,’ washing away the toils of the world and various defilements; ‘like a fire king,’ burning away the fuel of all afflictions; ‘like a great wind,’ moving unhindered through all worlds; ‘like space,’ not attached to anything that exists or does not exist; ‘like a lotus flower,’ remaining unstained in the world; ‘like the Great Vehicle,’ carrying beings out of the cycle of birth and death; ‘like heavy clouds,’ resounding with the thunder of the great Dharma, awakening those who are not yet awakened; ‘like great rain,’ showering the nectar of the Dharma, nourishing beings; ‘like a diamond mountain,’ unshakable by demons and external paths; ‘like a Brahma king,’ the most supreme among all good dharmas; ‘like a banyan tree (Nigrodha),’ universally covering all; ‘like an udumbara flower,’ rare and difficult to encounter; ‘like a Garuda,’ subduing external paths with its power; ‘like migratory birds,’ not accumulating anything; ‘like a bull king,’ unsurpassed by any; ‘like an elephant king,’ skilled in taming; ‘like a lion king,’ fearless. Their minds are ‘as vast as space,’ treating all with great compassion; they destroy jealousy, not seeking to surpass others. They are devoted to seeking the Dharma, their hearts never weary; they always desire to widely expound the Dharma, their will never tiring. They beat the Dharma drum, erect the Dharma banner, illuminate the sun of wisdom, dispel the darkness of ignorance, practice the six harmonies, and always give the gift of the Dharma, with courageous and diligent will. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version: Their minds do not retreat or weaken. They are the lamps of the world, the most supreme fields of merit, and they constantly guide beings as teachers, without hatred or favoritism. They only delight in the right path, without other joys or sorrows, removing the thorns of various desires, bringing peace to all beings. Their merits are supreme, and they are respected by all. They extinguish the obstacles of the three poisons (greed, hatred, and ignorance), and freely travel through various spiritual powers. They are fully equipped with the power of causes, the power of conditions, the power of intention, the power of vows, the power of skillful means, the power of constancy, the power of goodness, the power of concentration, the power of wisdom, the power of extensive learning, the power of giving, the power of precepts, the power of patience, the power of diligence, the power of meditation, the power of wisdom, the various powers of clear understanding of right mindfulness and contemplation, and the power to subdue all beings according to the Dharma. Their physical forms are excellent, their merits and eloquence are fully adorned, and no one can compare to them. They respectfully make offerings to countless Buddhas and are constantly praised by all Buddhas. They have ultimately perfected the various Paramitas (perfections) of Bodhisattvas, cultivate the three Samadhis (meditative states) of emptiness, signlessness, and wishlessness, the various Samadhi gates of non-birth and non-death, and are far removed from the realms of Sravakas (those who attain liberation by hearing the Dharma) and Pratyekabuddhas (those who attain liberation through self-realization). 'Ananda! These Bodhisattvas have achieved such immeasurable merits, and I have only briefly spoken of them to you; if I were to speak in detail, it would not be exhausted even in hundreds of millions of kalpas (eons).' The Buddha told Bodhisattva Maitreya, the Devas (gods), humans, and others: 'The merits and wisdom of the Sravakas and Bodhisattvas in the Land of Immeasurable Life (Sukhavati) are beyond description, and that land is so wonderfully peaceful and pure. Why not strive to do good, contemplate the naturalness of the Tao (the Dharma), be attached to the absence of high and low, and penetrate the boundless? You should each diligently strive to seek it for yourselves, and you will surely be able to transcend everything and be reborn in the Land of Peace and Nourishment (Sukhavati). By cutting across the five evil realms (hell, hungry ghosts, animals, asuras, and humans), the evil realms will naturally close; the path of ascent is endless, easy to go to, yet no one goes. That land does not resist, it is drawn by the power of nature. Why not abandon worldly affairs, diligently practice and seek virtue, so that you can obtain extremely long life and endless joy?' 'However, the people of the world are shallow and vulgar, and they compete for unimportant things. In this extremely evil and painful situation, they diligently engage in business to support themselves. Whether noble or lowly, whether poor or rich, whether young or old, whether men or women, they all worry about money. Whether they have money or not, their worries and anxieties are the same. They are restless and distressed, accumulating worries and anxieties, driven by their minds,' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

无有安时——有田忧田、有宅忧宅，牛、马、六畜、奴婢、钱财、衣、食、什物，复共忧之——重思累息，忧念愁怖，横为非常、水、火、盗贼、怨家、债主焚漂劫夺，消散磨灭，忧毒忪忪，无有解时。结愤心中不离忧恼，心坚意固适无纵舍，或坐摧碎身亡命终，弃捐之去莫谁随者。 “尊贵、豪富亦有斯患，忧惧万端，勤苦若此，结众寒热与痛共俱。贫穷下劣困乏常无，无田亦忧欲有田、无宅亦忧欲有宅，无牛、马、六畜、奴婢、钱财、衣、食、什物亦忧欲有之。适有一复少一、有是少是，思有齐等；适欲具有便复糜散。如是忧苦当复求索，不能时得思想无益，身心俱劳，坐起不安，忧念相随，勤苦若此，亦结众寒热与痛共俱。或时坐之终身夭命，不肯为善、行道、进德，寿终身死当独远去，有所趣向善恶之道，莫能知者。 “世间人民，父子、兄弟、夫妇、家室、中外亲属，当相敬爱，无相憎嫉；有无相通，无得贪惜；言色常和，莫相违戾。或时心诤有所恚怒，今世恨意微相憎嫉，后世转剧至成大怨。所以者何？世间之事更相患害，虽不即时应急相破，然含毒畜怒结愤精神，自然克识不得相离，皆当对生更相报复。人在世间爱欲之中，独生、独死，独去、独来，当行至趣苦乐之地，身自当之无有代者 现代汉语译本：没有安宁的时候——有了田地就担忧田地，有了房宅就担忧房宅，牛、马、各种牲畜、奴婢、钱财、衣服、食物、各种物品，又一起为它们担忧——反复思虑，劳累叹息，忧愁恐惧，横遭意外、水灾、火灾、盗贼、仇敌、债主焚烧、漂没、抢夺，消散磨灭，忧愁毒害，心神不安，没有解脱的时候。心中结下愤恨，无法摆脱忧愁烦恼，心意执着，不能放下，有时因此摧残身体，死亡终结，抛弃一切离去，没有人能跟随。 尊贵、富有的人也有这样的忧患，忧虑恐惧，千头万绪，勤劳辛苦如此，身心交瘁，寒热病痛相伴。贫穷卑贱的人，困苦缺乏，常常一无所有，没有田地就担忧想要有田地，没有房宅就担忧想要有房宅，没有牛、马、各种牲畜、奴婢、钱财、衣服、食物、各种物品，也担忧想要拥有它们。刚有一点又少一点，有了这个又少了那个，总想着要和别人一样多；刚想拥有齐全，又会散失。像这样忧愁痛苦，又要去寻求，不能及时得到，思虑无益，身心俱疲，坐立不安，忧愁烦恼相随，勤劳辛苦如此，也身心交瘁，寒热病痛相伴。有时因此而夭折，不肯行善、修行、增进德行，寿命终结，死亡时将独自远去，将要前往善恶之道，没有人知道会去哪里。 世间的人们，父子、兄弟、夫妇、家人、内外亲属，应当互相敬爱，不要互相憎恨嫉妒；有无互相通融，不要贪婪吝啬；言语脸色常常和善，不要互相违背抵触。有时心中争执，产生怨恨愤怒，今世的恨意，稍微互相憎恨嫉妒，后世会更加剧烈，以至成为大仇。这是为什么呢？世间的事情互相伤害，虽然不立即报复，但心中含着毒素，积蓄怒气，结下愤恨，精神上自然会记住，无法摆脱，都会在来世互相报复。人在世间爱欲之中，独自出生，独自死亡，独自离去，独自到来，将要前往苦乐之地，自身承受，没有人可以替代。
