English version: When sentient beings generate a gentle mind, they will be able to see Maitreya (the future Buddha) embraced by his great compassion, be born in his land, subdue their senses, and follow the Buddha's teachings. 'Sariputra (one of the ten great disciples of the Buddha)! The surface of each of the four great seas will decrease by three thousand yojanas (an ancient Indian unit of distance). At that time, the land of Jambudvipa (the world we live in) will be square and even, measuring ten thousand yojanas in length and width. The land there will be flat and clean, like a crystal mirror. There will be great Delightful Flowers, Pleasing Flowers, Extremely Fragrant Flowers, Udumbara Flowers (auspicious flowers), Great Golden Leaf Flowers, Seven-Jeweled Leaf Flowers, and Silver Leaf Flowers. The stamens of the flowers will be soft, like heavenly silk. Auspicious fruits will grow, complete with fragrance and flavor, as soft as heavenly cotton. The forests and trees will blossom with flowers and bear sweet and delicious fruits, extremely lush, surpassing even Indra's (a Buddhist protector deity) Garden of Delight. The trees will be tall and prominent, thirty li (Chinese unit of distance) high. Cities and towns will be close together, within the flight range of a chicken. All this is due to the great roots of goodness planted by the Buddhas of the present, and the reward for practicing loving-kindness, resulting in being born together in that land. They will possess wisdom and majestic virtue, all the enjoyments of the five desires, happiness and peace, and there will be no diseases such as cold, heat, wind, or fire, nor the nine vexations. Their lifespan will be complete at eighty-four thousand years, without premature death. Their bodies will all be sixteen zhang (Chinese unit of length) tall, and they will daily experience the most wonderful bliss, taking pleasure in wandering in deep meditation as their musical instrument. There will only be three illnesses: first, eating; second, excretion; and third, aging. Women will marry only at the age of five hundred years.' 'There will be a great city named Ketumati, measuring one thousand two hundred yojanas in length and width, and seven yojanas in height, adorned with the seven treasures. Seven-jeweled pavilions will naturally manifest, upright and dignified, supremely wonderful, and adorned with utmost purity. In the windows will be rows of jeweled women, each holding a pearl net in their hands, decorated with various jewels to cover the top. Densely hung jeweled bells will emit sounds like heavenly music. There will be rows of seven-jeweled trees, with canals and springs between the trees, all made of the seven treasures, flowing with waters of various colors, reflecting each other, intersecting and flowing slowly, without obstructing each other. The banks on both sides will be covered with pure gold sand. The streets and lanes will be twelve li wide, all clean and pure, like a heavenly garden, swept and cleaned thoroughly.' 'There is a great Dragon King named Taraksika, complete with blessings, virtue, and power. His pond is near the city, and the Dragon King's palace is like a seven-jeweled pavilion, magnificent.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

现于外，常于夜半化作人像，以吉祥瓶盛香色水，洒淹尘土，其地润泽，譬如油涂，行人往来无有尘坌。 “是时世人福德所致，巷陌处处有明珠柱，光喻于日四方各照八十由旬，纯黄金色，其光照耀，昼夜无异，灯烛之明，犹若聚墨。香风时来，吹明珠柱，雨宝璎珞，众人皆用，服者自然如三禅乐。处处皆有金银、珍宝、摩尼珠等，积用成山，宝山放光普照城内，人民遇者，皆悉欢喜，发菩提心。 “有大夜叉神，名跋陀婆罗赊塞迦(秦言善教)，昼夜拥护翅头末城及诸人民。洒扫清净，设有便利，地裂受之，受已还合，生赤莲华以蔽秽气。 “时世人民若年衰老，自然行诣山林树下，安乐淡泊，念佛取尽，命终多生大梵天上及诸佛前。 “其土安隐，无有怨贼劫窃之患，城邑聚落无闭门者，亦无衰恼、水火、刀兵及诸饥馑毒害之难。人常慈心，恭敬和顺，调伏诸根，如子爱父、如母爱子，语言谦逊，皆由弥勒慈心训导，持不杀戒、不啖肉故，以此因缘生彼国者，诸根恬静，面貌端正，威相具足，如天童子。 “复有八万四千众宝小城以为眷属，翅头末城最处其中。男女大小虽远若近，佛神力故，两得相见，无所障碍。夜光摩尼如意珠华，遍满世界，雨七宝花钵、头摩华、优钵罗华 、拘物头华、分陀利华、曼陀罗华、摩诃曼陀罗花、曼殊沙花、摩诃曼殊沙华，弥布其地；或复风吹回旋空中。 “时，彼国界城邑聚落、园林浴池、泉河流沼，自然而有八功德水；命命之鸟、鹅、鸭、鸳鸯、孔雀、鹦鹉、翡翠、舍利、美音、鸠雕、罗耆婆阇婆、快见鸟等，出妙音声；复有异类妙音之鸟，不可称数，游集林池。金色无垢净光明华、无忧净慧日光明华、鲜白七日香华、瞻卜六色香华，百千万种水陆生华，青色青光、黄色黄光、赤色赤光、白色白光，香净无比，昼夜常生，终无萎时。有如意果树，香美无比，充满国界。香树金光生宝山间，充满国界，出适意香，普熏一切。 “尔时，阎浮提中常有好香，譬若香山。流水美好，味甘除患，雨泽随时。天园成熟，香美稻种，天神力故，一种七获，用功甚少，所收甚多，谷稼滋茂，无有草秽。众生福德本事果报，入口销化，百味具足，香美无比气力充实。 “其国尔时有转轮圣王，名曰穰佉。有四种兵——不以威武治四天下——具三十二大人相好。王有千子，勇猛端正，怨敌自伏。王有七宝：一、金轮宝，千辐毂辋皆悉具足。二、白象宝，白如雪山，七胑拄地，严显可观犹如山王。三、绀马宝，朱鬣髦尾，足下生华，七宝蹄甲。四、神珠宝 现代汉语译本：拘物头华（Kumu-tou hua，一种花）、分陀利华（Fen-tuo-li hua，一种花）、曼陀罗华（Man-tuo-luo hua，一种花）、摩诃曼陀罗花（Mo-he Man-tuo-luo hua，一种花）、曼殊沙花（Man-shu-sha hua，一种花）、摩诃曼殊沙华（Mo-he Man-shu-sha hua，一种花），遍布在那片土地上；或者被风吹起，在空中回旋。 ‘那时，那个国度的城邑聚落、园林浴池、泉河流沼，自然而然地具有八功德水；命命之鸟、鹅、鸭、鸳鸯、孔雀、鹦鹉、翡翠、舍利、美音、鸠雕、罗耆婆阇婆（Luo-qi-po-she-po，一种鸟）、快见鸟等，发出美妙的声音；还有其他种类美妙声音的鸟，数量不可胜数，聚集在林间水池。金色无垢净光明华、无忧净慧日光明华、鲜白七日香华、瞻卜六色香华，成百上千种水陆生长的花，青色花发出青光、黄色花发出黄光、赤色花发出赤光、白色花发出白光，香气纯净无比，昼夜常开，永远不会凋谢。有如意果树，香甜美好无比，充满整个国界。香树发出金色的光芒，生长在宝山之间，充满整个国界，散发出令人愉悦的香气，普遍熏染一切。 ‘那时，阎浮提（Yan-fu-ti，地球）中常常有好闻的香气，就像香山一样。流水美好，味道甘甜，可以消除疾病，雨水及时降落。天园成熟，有香甜美好的稻米种子，由于天神的力量，种一次可以收获七次，花费的力气很少，收获的却很多，谷物庄稼生长茂盛，没有杂草。众生的福德、本事和果报，吃到口中就消化了，具有各种味道，香甜美好无比，气力充足。 ‘那个国家那时有一位转轮圣王（Zhuan-lun Sheng-wang，理想的统治者），名叫穰佉（Rang-qu）。拥有四种军队——不依靠武力来统治四天下——具备三十二种大丈夫相好。国王有一千个儿子，勇猛端正，怨敌自然降伏。国王有七宝：第一、金轮宝，一千个轮辐和轮辋都完全具备。第二、白象宝，像雪山一样洁白，七肢支撑地面，庄严显赫，看起来像山王一样。第三、绀马宝，红色的鬃毛和尾巴，脚下生出莲花，七宝蹄甲。第四、神珠宝

English version: Kumu-tou hua (a type of flower), Fen-tuo-li hua (a type of flower), Man-tuo-luo hua (a type of flower), Mo-he Man-tuo-luo hua (a type of flower), Man-shu-sha hua (a type of flower), Mo-he Man-shu-sha hua (a type of flower), are scattered all over that land; or blown by the wind, they swirl in the air. ‘At that time, the cities, towns, villages, gardens, bathing ponds, springs, rivers, and marshes of that country naturally possessed water with eight merits; birds such as the Jivajiva bird, geese, ducks, mandarin ducks, peacocks, parrots, emerald birds, sharis, birds with beautiful voices, cuckoos, Luo-qi-po-she-po (a type of bird), and quick-seeing birds, emitted wonderful sounds; moreover, there were countless other kinds of birds with wonderful sounds, gathering in the forests and ponds. Golden, immaculate, pure, bright flowers, worry-free, pure wisdom, sun-bright flowers, fresh white seven-day fragrant flowers, and six-colored champak fragrant flowers, hundreds of thousands of kinds of flowers growing on land and in water, blue flowers emitting blue light, yellow flowers emitting yellow light, red flowers emitting red light, white flowers emitting white light, with fragrance pure and incomparable, constantly blooming day and night, never withering. There were wish-fulfilling fruit trees, incomparably fragrant and delicious, filling the entire country. Fragrant trees emitting golden light grew among the treasure mountains, filling the entire country, emitting pleasant fragrances, universally perfuming everything. ‘At that time, in Jambudvipa (Yan-fu-ti, the Earth), there was always a pleasant fragrance, like that of Fragrant Mountain. The flowing water was beautiful, with a sweet taste that could eliminate diseases, and rain fell in due season. The heavenly gardens were ripe with fragrant and delicious rice seeds, and due to the power of the gods, one planting yielded seven harvests, requiring very little effort but producing abundant yields, with flourishing crops and no weeds. The blessings, abilities, and karmic rewards of sentient beings, upon entering the mouth, were digested, possessing all flavors, incomparably fragrant and delicious, and full of energy. ‘At that time, that country had a Chakravarti King (Zhuan-lun Sheng-wang, an ideal ruler) named Rang-qu. He possessed four kinds of armies—not relying on force to rule the four continents—and was endowed with the thirty-two major marks of a great man. The king had a thousand sons, brave and upright, and his enemies naturally submitted. The king had seven treasures: first, the Golden Wheel Treasure, with a thousand spokes and rims fully complete. Second, the White Elephant Treasure, as white as a snow mountain, with seven limbs supporting the ground, dignified and magnificent, appearing like a mountain king. Third, the Dark Horse Treasure, with red mane and tail, lotus flowers growing beneath its feet, and seven-jeweled hooves. Fourth, the Divine Pearl Treasure. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
