English version: In Buddha-lands as numerous as the dust motes of the world, there is a Buddha-land named ‘Multiflorous Banner’ (杂华幢), where the Buddha is called ‘Adorned Treasure Vigorous King Tathagata’ (杂宝奋迅王如来), the Worthy of Offerings (应供), Perfectly Enlightened (正遍知), Perfect in Knowledge and Conduct (明行足), Well-Gone (善逝), Knower of the World (世间解), Unsurpassed One (无上士), Tamer of Men (调御丈夫), Teacher of Gods and Men (天人师), Buddha (佛), World-Honored One (世尊), who is now expounding the Dharma. There is a Bodhisattva there named ‘Those Who See Him Will Not Be in Vain’ (见者不空), and there are also ten thousand Bodhisattvas with the same name, each Bodhisattva leading Asamkhya (阿僧祇, countless) Bodhisattvas as their retinue, respectfully surrounding them, heading towards the Saha World (娑婆世界). The countries they pass through are filled with clouds of sandalwood (栴檀) scented incense, raining down various fragrances, filling countless Buddha-lands, in order to see the Buddha, to make offerings to the Buddha, to see Moonlight Youth (月光童子), and to have compassion for Virtue Protection Elder (德护长者), and thus they come to the Buddha's place. Like this, all the immeasurable Bodhisattvas with superior bodies from the ten directions and beyond, each coming from their own Buddha-lands, manifesting great majestic light and forms. From the summit of Grdhrakuta Mountain (耆阇崛山) up to the Peak of Existence, and the Trisahasra-Mahasahasra-lokadhatu (三千大千世界) are all illuminated. These Bodhisattvas adorn and accomplish the practice of Bodhisattvas, their pure light shines, and their minds are without attachment. In inconceivable Asamkhya Buddha-lands, they are able to surpass the abodes of all Buddhas, purely cultivating Brahma-carya (梵行, pure conduct), increasing the Wisdom of Vows (愿智) and the Wisdom of Skillful Means (方便智), their inconceivable Samadhi (三昧, meditative absorption) is constantly unretreating. If anyone sees or hears these Bodhisattvas and draws near to them, it will not be in vain. At that time, the World-Honored One, seeing the great Bodhisattvas from the ten directions and their countless Bodhisattva retinues gathering here from their respective Buddha-lands, unfolded his lotus position (跏趺坐), intending to go to the house of Virtue Protection Elder. At that moment, the Trisahasra-Mahasahasra-lokadhatu shook in eighteen ways with six types of movements: shaking, universal shaking, equal universal shaking; rising, universal rising, equal universal rising; roaring, universal roaring, equal universal roaring; awakening, universal awakening, equal universal awakening; quaking, universal quaking, equal universal quaking; arising, universal arising, equal universal arising. At this time, countless lotuses emerged from the earth, countless fragrances, countless lights, countless flames, countless jeweled garlands (宝华鬘), countless Mani (摩尼, jewels) and jeweled flower stalks, countless Mani and jeweled flower pedestals, countless Vairocana Treasuries (毗卢遮那藏), countless virtues and colors, inexhaustible. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Such lotuses were arranged in order, from Gijjhakuta Mountain (Vulture Peak) to the house of the great elder Deva Rakshita, the jeweled lotuses covering and completely filling everything.
