English version The Buddha Speaks of the Coming of Maitreya Sutra Name of Translator Lost, Attached to the Eastern Jin Record Śāriputra (the foremost disciple of the Buddha), being the Buddha's first disciple, with a compassionate heart thinking of all under heaven, went to where the Buddha was, knelt with palms together, and asked: 'The Buddha often says: 'After the Buddha's departure, Maitreya (the future Buddha) will come.' I wish to hear about this from the Buddha.' The Buddha said: 'When Maitreya Buddha is about to appear, all the mountains, trees, and vegetation in Jambudvīpa (the world we inhabit) will be burned to ashes. Now, Jambudvīpa is six hundred thousand leagues in circumference. When Maitreya appears, Jambudvīpa will be four hundred thousand leagues long from east to west, and three hundred and twenty thousand leagues wide from north to south. The land will produce five kinds of fruits, and within the four seas there will be no mountains, hills, streams, or valleys. The land will be as flat as a whetstone, and the trees will all grow tall. 'At that time, people will have little greed, hatred, or delusion. There will be many people, living in settlements and homes, with the sound of roosters crowing heard from one place to another. People will live to be eighty-four thousand years old, and women will marry at five hundred years old. People will have no sickness or pain. All the people in the world will have only three ailments: first, the desire to acquire something; second, hunger and thirst; and third, old age. People's faces will be the color of peach blossoms, and people will all respect each other. 'There will be a city named Kukkuṭamati (Chicken Head End), and Kukkuṭamati will become the capital of the kingdom. The city will be four hundred and eighty leagues in circumference, built with earth and reinforced with wooden planks, and adorned with gold, silver, lapis lazuli, crystal, and jewels. Each of the four sides will have twelve gates, all carved with designs and adorned with gold, silver, lapis lazuli, crystal, and jewels. The king will be named Saṃgha, and all within the four seas will belong to Saṃgha. He will be able to fly when he travels, and wherever he goes, people and spirits will bow in reverence. 'The city will have four treasures: first, gold, guarded by a dragon named Nīlaphon, who is responsible for protecting the gold. The mountain where the dragon lives is named Gandha; second, silver, in that country...' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version: 'We wish to bring these offerings to the Buddha and all the Śrāmaṇas (ascetics), we wish to follow the Buddha and become Bhikkhunīs (female monastics).' The Buddha then allowed them to become Bhikkhunīs. 'Maitreya Buddha (the future Buddha) sits and speaks for all the Bhikkhus (male monastics) and Bhikkhunīs, all of whom were from the time of Śākyamuni Buddha (the present Buddha): those who recited scriptures, those with loving-kindness, those who gave alms, those who were not angry, those who built Buddhist temples, those who placed Buddha's relics in pagodas, those who burned incense, those who lit lamps, those who hung banners, those who scattered flowers, those who read scriptures. These Bhikkhunīs, all of whom were people from the time of Śākyamuni Buddha, those who upheld the precepts, those who were sincere, all come to this assembly today, those who hear the scriptures spoken by the Bhikkhus, will all attain enlightenment under the Dragon Flower Tree.' 'When Maitreya Buddha first preached the Dharma, ninety-six billion people attained the state of Arhat (a perfected being who has attained liberation).' 'When he preached the Dharma for the second time, ninety-four billion Bhikkhus attained Arhatship.' 'When he preached the Dharma for the third time, ninety-two billion Śrāmaṇas attained Arhatship. All the devas (gods) in the heavens will hold flowers and scatter them on Maitreya's body.' 'Maitreya Buddha will bring all the Arhats to the city ruled by King Ketumatī (name of a king). The king will offer food in the inner palace, and the entire city will be bright, with the night like daytime. Maitreya will sit in the palace and preach, saying: 'Good words must be spoken, the right path must be learned, and the scriptures must be praised.' After the Buddha finishes speaking the sutra, all the Bhikkhus and the king's officials will follow the Buddha's precepts and will all be able to escape the suffering of the world.' The Buddha said this, Maitreya Buddha will descend after six billion and sixty million years. The Sutra of Maitreya's Coming, as spoken by the Buddha. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
