English version that which has been cultivated. You should know that Sakyamuni, the heroic great being, is able to cause countless hundreds of thousands of nayutas of billions of sentient beings to dwell in the city of Nirvana, surpassing the udumbara flower by hundreds of thousands of billions of times, and has come here because of the bowl and the sarira.’ At that time, Maitreya, the samyaksambuddha, built four jeweled stupas for this bowl of mine and my sarira, placing the sarira bowl in these stupas. At that time, Maitreya Buddha and the devas, humans, asuras, garudas, gandharvas, kinnaras, mahoragas, and others, made great offerings, respectfully bowing to the stupas of the bowl and sarira, etc.” The Buddha told Ananda, ‘The Tathagata, Arhat, Samyaksambuddha, the sarira and the bowl have great power and virtue. Ananda! The merit you have generated by serving the Tathagata’s living body is immeasurable, boundless, inconceivable, and asamkhya.’ At that time, after the Buddha had spoken to Ananda about future events, he again told Ananda, ‘I will go with you to various lands, and the Tathagata will enter Nirvana in seven days.’ Ananda said to the Buddha, ‘Yes, I accept your teachings.’ At that time, the Buddha and Ananda, in succession, reached various lands and cities, having liberated countless hundreds of thousands of millions of nayutas of sentient beings, and then went to the house of the blacksmith Cunda, which was the last place where the Tathagata ate. At that time, after the World Honored One had received his offering, he spoke a verse: ‘This is my last meal, At Cunda’s house; This body of the five aggregates, Will soon pass into extinction.’ At that time, the Buddha and Ananda arrived at the city of Kusinagara, and after having taught the strongmen of Kusinagara using various skillful means, they left the city of Kusinagara and arrived between the Upavartana sala trees. At that time, the World Honored One lay down with his head to the north, and at this time, Subhadra came to the Buddha, bowed to the Tathagata, and sat facing the Buddha. The Buddha taught him the Dharma, and he attained the fruit of Arhat. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
