English version The Sutra of Maitreya's Descent and Attainment of Buddhahood Spoken by the Buddha Translated under Imperial Order by the Tang Dynasty Tripitaka Master Yijing Thus have I heard: At one time, the Bhagavan (World-Honored One) was on Vulture Peak Mountain in Rajagriha (Wangshecheng), together with a large assembly of bhikshus (monks). At that time, the greatly wise Sariputra (Sarizi), foremost among the Dharma generals, feeling compassion for the world, arose from his seat, bared his right shoulder, knelt on his right knee, joined his palms in reverence, and said to the Buddha: 'World-Honored One! I now wish to ask a few questions; I hope you will grant me permission to listen!' The Buddha told Sariputra: 'Ask whatever you wish; I will explain it for you.' Then, Sariputra used a gatha (verse) to ask the World-Honored One, saying: 'The Buddha who will descend in the future, As prophesied by the Great Master; His name is Maitreya (Cishi), As the previous sutras have said. May the Honored One among humans, Explain it again in detail with a gatha; His supernatural powers and majestic virtue, I am now eager to hear.' The Buddha told Sariputra: 'You should listen attentively with all your heart; I will extensively explain the coming Maitreya (Cishi) for you. At that time, the ocean water, Will gradually decrease by three thousand yojanas (yujun); Two hundred yojanas (yujun), Will be revealed as the road for the Wheel-Turning King (lunwang). Jambudvipa (Zhanbuzhou) is vast and wide, With ten thousand yojanas (yujun); Sentient beings dwell within it, Everywhere is filled. The lands are all rich and prosperous, Without punishments or disasters; Those men and women, Are all born from good karma. The ground has no thorns, Only soft green grass grows; Stepping on it follows the foot, Like soft cotton. Naturally fragrant rice grows, Delicious flavors are abundant; Various trees grow clothes, Various colors adorn them together. The trees are three kosa (jushe) high, Flowers and fruits are always plentiful;

English version (The attendant)held and gave (Maitreya)to his mother. The charioteer advanced the carved chariot, all adorned with treasures; Mother and child ascended into it, with all the devas jointly carrying the carriage. Thousands of wonderful musical instruments guided (them)back to the palace; Maitreya(Maitreya)entered the capital city, and celestial flowers fell like rain. On the day of Maitreya's(Maitreya)birth, all the pregnant concubines; Universally obtained peace of body, and all gave birth to wise sons. Sudharma(Sudharma), the father of Maitreya(Maitreya), beheld his son's wondrous countenance; Endowed with the thirty-two marks, his heart arose with great joy. The father, relying on the method of divination, knew that his son had two destinies; In the world, he would become a Chakravartin king; renouncing the world, he would attain perfect enlightenment. Since the Bodhisattva(Bodhisattva)had grown up, he compassionately pitied all sentient beings; In the midst of all kinds of suffering and hardship, the cycle of rebirth continues without ceasing. (Maitreya Bodhisattva's)golden light shone brightly, and his voice was like the great Brahma's sound; His eyes were like blue lotus petals, and all parts of his body were perfectly complete. His height was eighty cubits, and the width of his shoulders was twenty cubits; The width of his face was half the width of his shoulders, and his appearance was as dignified as the full moon. The Bodhisattva(Bodhisattva)was proficient in all arts, and skilled at teaching students; The children and beginners who came to study numbered eighty-four thousand. At that time, King Sankha(Sankha)erected a seven-jeweled banner; The banner was seventy fathoms high and sixty fathoms wide. After the jeweled banner was built, the king generated a great heart of generosity; Giving it to the Brahmins, he equally established an unobstructed assembly. At that time, the Brahmins numbered one thousand; Having obtained this wonderful jeweled banner, they demolished it in a short time. Having seen this, the Bodhisattva(Bodhisattva)thought that all worldly things were like this; Bound by the suffering of birth and death, he contemplated seeking a way to escape. He sincerely prayed for the path of extinction, renounced the world, and left home; In the midst of birth, old age, sickness, and death, he rescued beings, enabling them to be liberated. Maitreya(Maitreya)made a vow, saying that eighty-four thousand people; All arose with a heart of renunciation, and followed (me)to cultivate pure conduct. On the night of first generating the aspiration, he renounced the world and (left home).
