English version 'You who cover all, are the protector of the world, now that the Buddha is about to enter Nirvana, sentient beings will again suffer hardship. The Buddha is the eye of all in the world, today you are about to enter Nirvana, this world will once again encounter, falling into great darkness. The King of Medicine, you can eliminate all diseases of sentient beings, today you are about to enter Nirvana, there is no longer a venerable one in the world, the world will be very arduous. You who can dispel all doubts, today you are about to enter Nirvana, those who are doubtful in the world, will again be burned by the flames of doubt. Buddha, you can remove lust, anger, and ignorance, today you are about to enter Nirvana, this world will once again face, the situation of the three fires blazing. You are respected by all, revered and honored by gods and humans, now you are about to pass away in this grove, sentient beings will never see you again.' Chapter Four: The Four Youths At this time, the Buddha was lying on his right side on the lion's bed. At that time, four youths from the four directions, adorned with great merit, came to the Buddha's place in response to the feeling. Wherever these four youths went, whether in prefectures, cities, or counties, all the people, near and far, would lean to look up to them, and all were happy and respectful. When these four youths walked, the heavenly beings from the upper realms came from the four directions, scattering heavenly flowers all over the ground, and playing hundreds of thousands of kinds of music in the void. At that time, the Buddha manifested four lion seats on four sides. Then Ananda, seeing such great changes and sights, asked the Buddha in verses, saying: 'O Light of the World, who is it that has spread out the lion seats in these four directions? May the Venerable One explain it to me. O Light of the World, who is it that has shaken all the earth, including famous mountains and the great sea, on these four sides? O Light of the World, who is it that has come from these four directions, the four youths, as if they are wearing the great armor of Samgha? O Light of the World, who is it that on these four sides, is like the moon rising in the middle of the night, emitting its radiance? O Light of the World, who is it that in these four directions, all beings are moving, -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 江河水波荡？ 世间之光明， 谁于是四面， 一切之音声， 皆随四童后？ 世间之光明， 谁与天神俱？ 譬如日月住， 在于虚空中。”

English version Are the waves of the rivers and streams surging? The light of the world, who is it that shines on all four sides? All the sounds, do they all follow the four children? The light of the world, who is it that is with the gods? It is like the sun and moon dwelling, in the empty space.” The Buddha said to Ananda: ‘Have you seen the four children coming from the four directions? Their majestic virtue and light are exceptionally wonderful, their divine radiance illuminates, they are infinitely upright, their conduct is complete with four kinds of Brahma sounds, they deeply understand the meaning of giving, they have a sense of shame, they constantly encourage themselves with shame, and wherever they go, they can liberate people. They have the eyes of wisdom, they have majestic virtue, they have giving, precepts, patience, diligence, one-pointedness, and wisdom, their supernatural powers and various abilities to liberate beings are boundless, all originating from all precepts and good dharmas. It is like the Udumbara flower (a rare flower), which is difficult to encounter and see even in billions of nayutas (a very large number) of kalpas (eons). They practice the practices of countless Buddhas, and have planted the roots of various merits in countless billions of nayutas of hundreds of thousands of Buddhas, each coming from different Buddha lands in the heavens of the four directions to this Jambudvipa (the world we live in), hearing that I am about to enter Parinirvana (the Buddha's passing), wanting to see my Parinirvana. Tonight at midnight, the Tathagata will enter Parinirvana in the place where the strongman was born, definitely entering Parinirvana.’ The Buddha said to Ananda: ‘Do you see this child coming from the east? His demeanor is gentle and elegant, his radiance is serene and wonderful, surrounded by countless billions of nayutas of hundreds of thousands of attendants, being offered heavenly flowers and music by billions of gods, coming to the Tathagata. Ananda! This child comes from the Tathagata land of Simha-mukha (a Buddha land), he often acts as a Chakravartin (an ideal ruler of the world) and the master of a thousand worlds in that country, speaking the Dharma for all gods and humans, with supernatural wisdom and the wisdom of the sages, coming and going without interruption. He has ruled the country for eighteen billion years, and in these eighteen billion years, he has taught eighteen billion nayutas of Bodhisattvas, causing them to begin to aspire to establish the Dharma-patience of non-origination, and to leave their families to practice at the appropriate time. He has practiced pure Brahma conduct for eighty-one billion years, he has not sat down for eighty-one billion years, he has not slept for eighty-one billion years, he has not had desires, he has not had disputes, he has not had thoughts of destruction, he has no thoughts of desire, no thoughts of anger, and no thoughts of ignorance.’ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
