English version There were hundreds of thousands of lotuses surrounding him. Akasagarbha Bodhisattva (the Bodhisattva representing wisdom and compassion) sat in the lotus in the lotus posture (Padmasana), with a wish-fulfilling jewel (Cintamani, a jewel symbolizing wish fulfillment) on his head. The retinue of Akasagarbha Bodhisattva were all seated on lotuses. At that time, Maitreya Bodhisattva (the future Buddha) asked Bhaisajyaraja Bodhisattva (the Bodhisattva known for healing the physical and mental illnesses of sentient beings) in verse: 'The Bodhisattvas of the past, Who had great renown; First paid homage to the World Honored One (Buddha), And then took their seats. Now these great beings, Displaying wondrous and magnificent appearances; Do not pay homage to the World Honored One, But directly take their seats.' At that time, Bhaisajyaraja Bodhisattva Mahasattva (the great Bodhisattva) answered Maitreya Bodhisattva Mahasattva in verse: 'These great beings now, Have already abided in the Buddha's profound Dharma; They do not see sentient beings, Nor do they differentiate themselves.' Maitreya Bodhisattva again asked in verse: 'If they do not see sentient beings, They must abide in reality (the realm of truth). Why then do they manifest magnificence? I wish you would answer definitively.' Bhaisajyaraja Bodhisattva again answered in verse: 'Those who are courageous and skillful, Do so to accomplish sentient beings. Ordinary people are foolish and cling to distinctions, They do not understand the true meaning, They only know worldly truths, And do not understand the truth, hence they suffer.' At that time, the World Honored One (Buddha) told the son of a noble family (a term used by the Buddha to address his disciples): 'Excellent! Excellent! As you have said, all ordinary people cannot know the skillful means and liberation of a Srotapanna (stream-enterer, the first stage of Buddhist enlightenment). Suppose all sentient beings were Srotapannas, they could not know the skillful means and liberation of a Sakrdagamin (once-returner, the second stage of Buddhist enlightenment). Just as Sakrdagamins, Anagamins (non-returner, the third stage of Buddhist enlightenment), and Arhats (worthy one, the fourth stage of Buddhist enlightenment) cannot know the skillful means and liberation of a Pratyekabuddha (solitary Buddha, one who achieves enlightenment on their own without a teacher). If all sentient beings were Pratyekabuddhas of the Kalpa of Dharma, they could not know the skillful means, accomplishment of sentient beings, and liberation of a Bodhisattva Mahasattva who has attained Anutpattika-dharma-ksanti (the acceptance of the non-arising of all phenomena). If all sentient beings had attained Anutpattika-dharma-ksanti, they could not know the skillful means and liberation of a Bodhisattva Mahasattva who has attained Surangama Samadhi (a profound state of meditation) and has unobstructed wisdom that penetrates the Paramartha (ultimate truth). This Akasagarbha Bodhisattva' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If one can recite and uphold this mantra in this way, this son of a noble family, whether he manifests in human form or in the form of birds or beasts, to show himself to people, he will, according to their merits, preach the Dharma for them, demonstrating a skillful means. Through this skillful means, he can guide hundreds of thousands of nayutas of beings to abide in the Dharma, or to abide in the Sravaka Vehicle or Pratyekabuddha Vehicle, and through a brief skillful means, he can cause them to abide in the irreversible Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi (supreme perfect enlightenment), attaining various samadhis, various dharanis, various kshantis (patience) and various Bodhisattva grounds.
