t12n0361 buddha speaks immeasurable purity equal awakening sutra.g2.0f

English

English version: The heavens, people, and creatures that fly and crawl have accumulated kalpas, hundreds of millions of times over. The Buddha said, 'Ananda! Now, all the beings in the heavens, the emperors, the people, and the creatures that fly and crawl, you must liberate them all.' The Buddha said, 'The Buddha's majestic power is extremely profound and difficult to bear. If the questions asked are very deep, you should have a compassionate heart and consider the heavens and people that the Buddha pities. If monks, nuns, upasakas (male lay devotees), and upasikas (female lay devotees) can do this, that would be excellent, and they should all be liberated.' The Buddha told Ananda, 'It is like the udumbara tree (a legendary tree) in the world, which only has fruit and no flowers. Only when a Buddha appears in the world will it bloom. It is very rare for a Buddha to appear in the world. Now that I have become a Buddha and appeared in the world, if there are virtuous people who are intelligent and have good hearts, and who know the Buddha's intentions in advance, they would not easily leave the Buddha's side to serve the Buddha. Now, regarding the questions you have asked, listen carefully and attentively.' The Buddha told Ananda, 'In the past, countless kalpas ago, there were countless beings, boundless and unimaginable. At that time, there were past Buddhas, named Dipankara Tathagata (meaning the Tathagata of fixed light). Next, there was a Buddha named Yaoguang (meaning shining light).

The color is immeasurable, it is the most supreme of all in the world, such a great sound pervades countless Buddha lands.

English version Like a beautiful flower tree, there is no one who does not love it, Everywhere people see it, and all are delighted. May I, when I become a Buddha, be like a Dharma King, To help beings cross over birth and death, and none not be liberated. Giving, subduing the mind, keeping precepts, patience, and diligence, As well as samadhi (meditative concentration), with wisdom as the highest. I vow that when I attain Buddhahood, I will universally achieve these states, So that all fears disappear, and I bring great peace to all beings. Suppose there are hundreds of thousands of millions of nayutas (nasu, indicating a very large number) of Buddhas, Such a number of Buddhas, like the sands of the Ganges River, Even if one were to make offerings to all those Buddhas, as numerous as the sands, It would not be as good as seeking the right path, being firm, courageous, and not retreating. For example, in the Ganges River, there are worlds like grains of sand, And then multiplied by countless, immeasurable Buddha lands (ksetra). The light shines everywhere, pervading these countless lands, Such is the power of diligence, the majestic power is immeasurable. May I become the hero of the world, with the most excellent land, Where the beings are extraordinary and wonderful, and the Bodhimanda (place of enlightenment) surpasses all other lands. My land is like the realm of Nirvana (Nirvana), without equal, I will always be compassionate, liberating all beings. Those who are reborn in my land from the ten directions, their minds are pure and joyful, Having already arrived in my land, they are happy, joyful, and peaceful. Fortunately, the Buddha witnesses my faith, this is my first proof, The vows I have made are there, and are what the power of diligence will achieve. The World Honored Ones of the ten directions all have unobstructed wisdom, They always remember this honored hero, knowing what I think and do in my heart, May my body remain, amidst all kinds of suffering, I will go forward with the power of diligence, enduring everything, and never regretting it. The Bhikshu (monk) Dharmagarbha, having spoken these verses praising the Tathagata (Buddha's title) World-King-Abundant, the Truly Enlightened One, the Perfectly Enlightened One. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
