English version: , and immeasurable suffering.’ The holy maiden then asked the great ghost king, ‘My mother has not been dead long, I do not know where her soul will go?’ The ghost king asked the holy maiden, ‘What kind of practices did the Bodhisattva’s mother engage in during her life?’ The holy maiden replied, ‘My mother held wrong views, slandering and defaming the Three Jewels. Even if she temporarily believed, she would quickly become disrespectful again. Although she has not been dead long, I do not know where she has been reborn.’ Wudu asked, ‘What is the Bodhisattva’s mother’s surname?’ The holy maiden replied, ‘My parents were both of the Brahmin caste. My father was named Shila Shanxian (meaning 'Good Manifestation of Precepts'), and my mother was named Yuedili (meaning 'Joyful').’ Wudu put his palms together and said to the Bodhisattva, ‘May the holy one return to your original place, do not be sorrowful and grieving. The sinful woman Yuedili, since ascending to heaven, it has been three days. It is said that because of her filial son, who made offerings and cultivated merit for his mother, and made donations to the pagoda and temple of Juehua Dingzizai Wang Rulai (the Tathagata King of Pure Flower Samadhi), not only has the Bodhisattva’s mother escaped from hell, but all the sinners in the Avici hell have also received joy today and have been reborn together.’ After the ghost king finished speaking, he put his palms together and retreated. The Brahmin maiden then awoke as if from a dream. Having understood this matter, she made a great vow before the image of Juehua Dingzizai Wang Rulai: ‘May I, throughout the future kalpas, for all sentient beings suffering from sin and pain, widely establish expedient means to enable them to be liberated.’ The Buddha told Manjushri (Wenshushili), ‘The ghost king Wudu at that time is now the Bodhisattva Caishou (Wealth Leader). The Brahmin maiden is the Bodhisattva Dizang (Earth Treasury).’ Chapter Two: Incarnations At that time, hundreds of thousands of millions of inconceivable, inexpressible, immeasurable, unspeakable, and countless asamkhya worlds, in all the hells, the incarnated Bodhisattvas Dizang, all gathered in the Trayastrimsa Heaven (Daolitian Gong). Due to the Buddha’s divine power, each from their respective directions, along with those who had been liberated and had emerged from the evil paths, also numbering in the hundreds of thousands of millions of nayutas (Nayuta), came together holding incense and flowers to make offerings to the Buddha. All those who came together were due to the teachings of Bodhisattva Dizang, and would never regress from Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi (Anuoduoluo Sanmiao Sanputi, meaning 'Unsurpassed Right and Perfect Enlightenment').

等，久远劫来，流浪生死，六道受苦，暂无休息。以地藏菩萨广大慈悲，深誓愿故，各获果证。既至忉利，心怀踊跃，瞻仰如来，目不暂舍。 尔时，世尊舒金色臂，摩百千万亿不可思、不可议、不可量、不可说、无量阿僧祇世界诸分身地藏菩萨摩诃萨顶，而作是言：“吾于五浊恶世，教化如是刚强众生，令心调伏，舍邪归正。十有一二，尚恶习在。吾亦分身千百亿，广设方便。或有利根，闻即信受。或有善果，勤劝成就。或有暗钝，久化方归。或有业重，不生敬仰。如是等辈众生，各各差别，分身度脱。或现男子身，或现女人身，或现天龙身，或现神鬼身，或现山林川原、河池泉井，利及于人，悉皆度脱。或现天帝身，或现梵王身，或现转轮王身，或现居士身，或现国王身，或现宰辅身，或现官属身，或现比丘、比丘尼、优婆塞、优婆夷身，乃至声闻、罗汉、辟支佛、菩萨等身，而以化度。非但佛身，独现其前。汝观吾累劫勤苦，度脱如是等难化刚强罪苦众生。其有未调伏者，随业报应。若堕恶趣，受大苦时，汝当忆念吾在忉利天宫，殷勤付嘱。令娑婆世界，至弥勒出世已来众生，悉使解脱，永离诸苦，遇佛授记。” 尔时，诸世界分身地藏菩萨，共复一形，涕泪哀恋，白其佛言：“我从久远劫来，蒙 现代汉语译本：他们经历了漫长久远的劫数，在生死轮回中漂泊，于六道中承受痛苦，暂时没有停歇。因为地藏菩萨（Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva）广大的慈悲和深厚的誓愿，他们各自获得了果位的证悟。到达忉利天（Trayastrimsa Heaven）后，他们心中充满喜悦，瞻仰着如来（Tathagata），目光片刻也不曾离开。 这时，世尊（World-Honored One）伸出金色的手臂，摩顶百千万亿不可思议、不可议论、不可衡量、不可言说、无量阿僧祇世界（asamkhya worlds）诸分身地藏菩萨摩诃萨（Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva-Mahasattvas）的头顶，并说道：‘我在五浊恶世（five turbid ages）教化这些刚强难化的众生，使他们内心调伏，舍弃邪道归于正道。其中十个里有一两个，仍然恶习未改。我也分身千百亿，广设方便。有的根器锐利，一听闻佛法就信受奉行；有的善根深厚，勤加劝勉就能成就；有的愚昧迟钝，需要长久教化才能归正；有的业障深重，不生恭敬仰慕之心。像这样各种不同的众生，我分别化身度脱他们。有时显现男子身，有时显现女人身，有时显现天龙身，有时显现神鬼身，有时显现山林川原、河流池塘、泉水井水等，利益于人，都使他们得到解脱。有时显现天帝身，有时显现梵王身，有时显现转轮王身，有时显现居士身，有时显现国王身，有时显现宰辅身，有时显现官属身，有时显现比丘（bhiksu）、比丘尼（bhiksuni）、优婆塞（upasaka）、优婆夷（upasika）身，乃至声闻（sravaka）、罗汉（arhat）、辟支佛（pratyekabuddha）、菩萨（bodhisattva）等身，以此来教化度脱他们。不仅仅是佛身，才显现在他们面前。你看我累劫勤苦，度脱这些难以教化、刚强罪苦的众生。那些尚未调伏的，将随其业报应。如果堕入恶道，遭受巨大痛苦时，你们应当忆念我在忉利天宫，殷勤地嘱托你们。使娑婆世界（Saha world）从现在到弥勒（Maitreya）出世这段时间的所有众生，都能够得到解脱，永远脱离各种痛苦，并得到佛的授记。’ 这时，各世界的分身地藏菩萨，共同恢复成一个形体，流着眼泪，哀伤不舍，对佛说道：‘我从久远劫以来，蒙受世尊的教化，得以证得不可思议的智慧力量。我所分身的百千万亿，遍布各个世界，每一个世界都化现百千万亿的身形。我发愿在未来无量劫中，度脱一切罪苦众生，使他们都得到解脱。’

English version: They have, for countless kalpas, wandered in the cycle of birth and death, enduring suffering in the six realms, with no respite. Due to the vast compassion and profound vows of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, they each attained the fruit of enlightenment. Having arrived at Trayastrimsa Heaven, their hearts were filled with joy, gazing upon the Tathagata, their eyes not leaving him for a moment. At that time, the World-Honored One extended his golden arm and stroked the heads of the hundred thousand million incalculable, inconceivable, immeasurable, unspeakable, and countless asamkhya worlds of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva-Mahasattvas, saying, 'In this evil world of the five turbid ages, I have taught such stubborn beings, causing their minds to be subdued, abandoning evil and returning to righteousness. Among them, one or two out of ten still retain their evil habits. I also manifest hundreds of thousands of millions of bodies, widely establishing expedient means. Some have sharp faculties and, upon hearing the Dharma, immediately believe and accept it. Some have good roots and, with diligent encouragement, achieve enlightenment. Some are dull and ignorant, requiring long periods of teaching before they return to the right path. Some have heavy karmic burdens and do not generate respect or admiration. Such beings, each different, are liberated by my manifested bodies. Sometimes I appear as a man, sometimes as a woman, sometimes as a deva or naga, sometimes as a spirit or ghost, sometimes as mountains, forests, rivers, ponds, springs, or wells, benefiting people, and all are liberated. Sometimes I appear as a deva king, sometimes as a Brahma king, sometimes as a wheel-turning king, sometimes as a householder, sometimes as a king, sometimes as a minister, sometimes as an official, sometimes as a bhiksu, bhiksuni, upasaka, or upasika, even as a sravaka, arhat, pratyekabuddha, or bodhisattva, and thus I teach and liberate them. It is not only the Buddha body that appears before them. You see my diligent efforts over countless kalpas to liberate such difficult-to-teach, stubborn, and suffering beings. Those who have not yet been subdued will follow their karmic retribution. If they fall into evil realms and suffer great pain, you should remember my earnest entrustment in Trayastrimsa Heaven. Cause all beings in the Saha world, from now until the appearance of Maitreya, to be liberated, to forever be free from all suffering, and to receive the Buddha's prediction of enlightenment.' At that time, the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattvas, manifested in various worlds, collectively returned to one form, weeping with sorrow and longing, and said to the Buddha, 'Since countless kalpas, I have received the teachings of the World-Honored One and have attained inconceivable wisdom and power. My manifested bodies, numbering hundreds of thousands of millions, are present in every world, and in each world, I manifest hundreds of thousands of millions of forms. I vow to liberate all suffering beings in the immeasurable kalpas to come, causing them all to attain liberation.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
