The boy Baowang, together with the Heavenly Emperor Shakra (Indra, a protector deity in Buddhism), Brahma-like King Vanijya (Brahma, a protector deity in Buddhism), and the Heavenly Prince Sushin (a deity in the heavens), entered the city of Vaisali (an ancient Indian city). They prepared a hundred flavors of delicacies, offering various kinds of delicious food. That night, they prepared various seats, decorated and adorned the city of Vaisali, hung banners, scattered flowers, and burned incense. Once everything was ready, they went to where the Buddha was, bowed at his feet, stepped aside, and with their palms together, said to the Buddha: 'Great Sage, have mercy, the time for the meal has arrived, and the food is prepared. Please partake as you wish.' At this time, the Buddha, the next morning, put on his robes, took his bowl, and with countless hundreds of thousands of holy beings, ascended into the sky, forty-nine feet above the ground, walking with supernatural powers, intending to enter the city of Vaisali. Just as he was about to enter the city, the Tathagata (an epithet of the Buddha) shook six times, and the three thousand great chiliocosms (worlds in Buddhist cosmology) manifested eighteen countless billions of changes. Upon arriving in Vaisali, countless billions of heavenly beings came, raining down various heavenly flowers, blue lotuses, various red, yellow, and white flowers, heavenly wish-fulfilling flowers, honey-scented flowers, powdered incense, and mixed incense. They held bright moon pearls, purple gold, and various rare seven-jeweled heavenly flowers, offering them and scattering them upon the Buddha, singing in unison, and playing countless billions of musical instruments to entertain the Buddha. The sound of thunder in the sky resounded in all directions, raining down heavenly sandalwood, and various jeweled necklaces adorned the upper and lower realms. The blind regained their sight, the deaf regained their hearing, the mute could speak, the sick were healed, the lame could walk, the mad regained their sanity, the confused became calm, the hunchbacked straightened their backs, and those who were poisoned had their poison dispelled. Musical instruments like the konghou played without being struck, women's pearl rings clinked together, birds and beasts sang in harmony, and the people gathered to watch, all filled with joy and amazement. At this time, the World Honored One (an epithet of the Buddha) had already entered the city, and the heavenly beings held various jeweled canopies in the sky. The Buddha arrived at the front of the boy Baowang's house, sat in his house, and the four assemblies (monks, nuns, laymen, and laywomen) were all there, sitting in order.

English version: Having settled down, he personally prepared hundreds of kinds of food and various dishes with different flavors, offering them to the World Honored One and the fourfold assembly of holy disciples, treating them all equally. After the meal was finished and they had washed, he took out three Dharma robes worth countless billions of hundreds of thousands of nayutas, offering them to the Great Sage, the Bhikshus, and the Bhikshunis. They also received three Dharma robes of equal value, and the value of the offerings to the Buddha was no different. He also gave each of the laymen and laywomen a piece of clothing. Why is this so? It is all because of the World Honored One's holy grace that they are like this. After the boy Baowang (Precious Net) finished offering to the Buddha, he himself began to eat. After settling himself, he came before the Buddha again, sat down to one side, and said to the Buddha: 'I have some questions I would like to ask. If you permit, I will dare to speak.' The Buddha told Baowang: 'Ask whatever you wish. All doubts, the Tathagata (Thus Come One), the True One, will resolve for you, so that your heart may be at peace.' The boy asked the Buddha: 'Yes, Great Sage! Is it that the vows made by all Buddhas in their past lives of practice have led to their present attainment? Those who study the Bodhisattva path, the sons and daughters of various clans, who study the Bodhisattva vehicle, upon hearing the name of a Bodhisattva, their hearts open and they have no doubts, reaching the state of non-retrogression, should attain the unsurpassed, true, and right path. Their forms are upright, their appearances are unparalleled, their wealth is boundless, their precepts are without flaw, their wisdom is complete, they can know their past lives, they harbor no greed or jealousy, they have no delusions, they are always peaceful and harmonious wherever they are, they are companions with all Bodhisattvas, they are far from all Shravakas (Hearers), and they can receive the merits that are spoken of. These merits are immeasurable, billions of hundreds of thousands of nayutas, revered by all Buddhas, the Rightly Enlightened Ones, they can satisfy the long-standing hunger and thirst of sentient beings, they startle all demons into submission, they cultivate and adorn the pure Buddha lands, they remove the defilements of sentient beings' minds, they proclaim the pure Dharma, all the gods and spirits protect them, the great Bodhisattvas all think of them, they are established by the Tathagata, the True One, they have never been far from all the Buddhas, the World Honored Ones, and they fully understand the practices of all Bodhisattvas, they possess all eighty-four thousand kinds of activities, and their voices are like thunder.' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 梵普彻佛界，莫不闻焉咸受其命。”
