t12n0378 the buddha speaks of the square and equal parinirvana sutra.g2.0f

English

English version The decorations (of the Bodhisattvas) are of a thousand colors, surpassing all that exists in the heavens, adorned with flames of light, pearls, gold, various treasures, and purple gold to decorate the canopies, surpassing the fragrances of the heavens to emit fragrance, causing beings in evil paths to generate thoughts of goodness, and making all beings joyful and happy. Just as one Bodhisattva adorns themselves, so do all Bodhisattvas. Each Bodhisattva's sphere of influence does not overlap. Why is this so? Because they are peaceful and still, without flattery or deceit, and they are not attached to any dharma. They are like a wish-fulfilling jewel, which is not stained by any dust. They learn skillful means, their thoughts and intentions towards all dharmas are pure, they attain various noble wisdom dharmas, their actions and words are consistent, they are the masters of great giving, and they abide in the dharma without attachment. These Bodhisattvas all praise the Tathagata's (如来) original pursuit of the path, the immeasurable, countless, and incalculable diligent practices, and they use these events to demonstrate the meaning of the Dharma to sentient beings. Chapter Nine: The Tathagata's Transformation and Teaching At that time, the Venerable Ananda (阿难) praised the Buddha with verses: 'Your eyes are bright and clear, like a full moon, possessing the ten powers (Dasabala) and supernatural abilities, your wisdom is without defilement, you are served and honored by the kings of gods and dragons, today, World Honored One, you have come to the forest. If the Buddha and the Sangha enter a great city, when the World Hero (a title for the Buddha) steps over the threshold, the earth and sky will shake six times, and light will be emitted, illuminating the Buddha-lands. Various musical instruments such as zithers, flutes, and drums, without being played, will emit soft and harmonious sounds, lions, tigers, deer, and wild oxen, as well as dragons and elephants, will stop in the snowy mountains, roaring with joy, and all will generate compassion towards the Tathagata. Their sounds are pleasing to the ear, surpassing all treasures, thousands upon thousands of oxen and Nasuks (那术), upon seeing the Buddha's light, will leap with joy, attaining immeasurable peace and happiness. Cormorants, ducks, cormorants, geese, and Koyits (拘逸), as well as countless Lozhans (罗瞻) and other birds, the parrots on Mount Iron Ring, will joyfully chirp and come to the Buddha's place. The various treasures that people had originally lost will be regained, and they will come before the World Honored One, all those who were filled with anger will generate compassion, and with pure intentions, they will serve the Buddha. The gods will dwell in the sky, raining down heavenly flowers, and there will be Luo lotuses (罗莲花) and others.' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 千叶,  诸宫采女及天子,  各为供养于世尊。  色净如是当不现,  佛今泥洹当奈何!  譬如犊子断母乳,  断绝拥护为甚剧。  十方从本无尘垢,  已离生死为众祐,  诸世雄界为自在,  其受得住不减劫。  谁为光王逾日月?  谁当有力逾铁围?  谁当忍辱等如地?  世尊导人使离尘,  当以精进及一心,  智慧示现度一切。  若子亿世与母离,  暂得一会便复别,  子愁思亲四方求,  世尊泥洹我亦尔。  愁忧勤苦无复乐,  见佛经行及坐处,  及见讲堂以精舍,  奈何断无吉祥得。  赞叹十方法施人,  无量勤苦贤释子,  即便躄地蓬婉转,  我最意见月善月。”

English version Thousand Leaves (referring to a disciple of the Buddha), The palace ladies and the sons of heaven, each made offerings to the World Honored One (Buddha). The physical form (of the Buddha) is so pure, and now it will cease to exist. What shall we do when the Buddha enters Nirvana! It is like a calf separated from its mother's milk, the loss of protection is so painful. The ten directions are originally without dust, having already transcended birth and death, becoming the refuge of all beings. In all the worlds, the Buddha is the sovereign hero, his life could have remained for countless kalpas. Whose light can surpass the sun and moon? Whose power can surpass the Iron Mountain? Whose patience can be like the earth? The World Honored One guides people to leave the troubles of the world. We should use diligence and single-mindedness, using wisdom to teach and liberate all beings. If children are separated from their mother for billions of lifetimes, even if they meet briefly, they will separate again. Children miss their mother and search everywhere, I will be like this after the World Honored One enters Nirvana. Sorrow and hardship make me no longer happy, seeing the places where the Buddha walked and sat, as well as the lecture hall and the monastery, how can we cut off the hope of auspiciousness? Praising those who give in the ten directions, and the countless diligent and virtuous disciples of the Shakya (Buddha), (They) immediately collapsed to the ground, rolling around with disheveled hair, my (Ananda's) views are the worst, like the moon, sometimes full and sometimes waning. At that time, the World Honored One entered the Samadhi of Holding All Phrases (samadhi that can hold all dharmas), the Samadhi of Right Reception and Manifesting Peaceful Conduct (samadhi that manifests peaceful conduct through right reception), the Samadhi of Good Explanation (samadhi that is good at explaining the dharma), the Samadhi of Thunder and Rain (samadhi that explains the dharma like thunder and rain), the Samadhi of Lion's Roar (samadhi that explains the dharma like a lion's roar), the Samadhi of Radiant Sound (samadhi that shines light and emits sound), the Samadhi of Majestic Light (samadhi that has majestic light), the Samadhi of Releasing Light (samadhi that can release light), the Samadhi of Subtle Phrases (samadhi that has subtle phrases), the Samadhi of Power (samadhi that has power), the Samadhi of Powerful Phrases (samadhi that has powerful phrases), the Samadhi of Immeasurable Power (samadhi that has immeasurable power), the Samadhi of Intentional Holding and Illumination (samadhi that holds and illuminates with intention), the Samadhi of the Arising of the World (samadhi that can give rise to all existence in the world), the Samadhi of Drum Sound (samadhi that explains the dharma like the sound of a drum), the Samadhi of the Moon (samadhi that is as cool as the moon), the Samadhi of the Great Moon (samadhi that is as cool as the great moon), the Samadhi of the All-Encompassing Moon (samadhi that illuminates everywhere like moonlight), the Samadhi of Moon Sound (samadhi that is as cool as moonlight and emits sound), the Samadhi of the Upper Moon (samadhi that gradually becomes full like the waxing moon), the Samadhi of Treasure (samadhi that is like a treasure), the Samadhi of Truth Treasure (samadhi that is like a treasure of truth), the Samadhi of Lapis Lazuli Treasure (samadhi that is like a treasure of lapis lazuli), the Samadhi of Observation (samadhi that can observe everything), the Samadhi of Immeasurable Observation (samadhi that can observe everything immeasurably), the Samadhi of Illuminating All Ten Directions (samadhi that can illuminate all ten directions), the Samadhi of Removing All Doubts with Light (samadhi that can remove all doubts with light), the Samadhi of Utmost Sincerity (samadhi of utmost sincerity), the Samadhi of True Utmost Sincerity (samadhi of true utmost sincerity), the Samadhi of True Words (samadhi of true and non-false words), the Samadhi of Explaining All Actions (samadhi that can explain all actions), the Samadhi of What is Said is True and Utmost Sincerity (samadhi of what is said is true and utmost sincerity), the Samadhi of Immeasurable (immeasurable samadhi), the Samadhi of Tranquil Concentration (samadhi of tranquil meditation), the Samadhi of Tranquil Concentration Phrases (samadhi of tranquil meditation phrases). --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
