English version Thus I have heard: At one time, the Buddha was wandering in the country of Kaushambi, dwelling in the Jaluka Vihara amidst the great cluster of trees. The place where he resided was called Eka-vyūha-svayaṃ-udāna-samādhi (The Samadhi of Solitary Attainment and Self-Vow). When the Buddha initially attained Buddhahood, the light and scenery were exceedingly bright. A naturally auspicious and radiant lotus throne manifested, its fragrance pure and illuminating the ten directions. The lotus had a thousand petals, and upon each petal was a manifested Bodhisattva. They attended in orderly ranks in the profound emptiness, each prostrating from their respective positions, circumambulating the lotus a thousand times, and standing respectfully before the Buddha. Together, they uttered a resounding voice, praising the unprecedented event: 'Indeed, O World-Honored One! We have seen in our respective Buddha-lands a manifested auspicious tree. When this tree first emerged, its light illuminated Buddha-lands as numerous as the sands of the Ganges. The tree emitted a resounding voice, its sound pure, mournful, elegant, compassionate, and harmonious, deeply penetrating the hearts of all beings. Those who heard it rejoiced and were filled with equality, initiating the practices of the Great Vehicle, perfecting the six perfections (paramita) and the thirty-seven factors of enlightenment (bodhipakkhiyadhamma), accomplishing all the deeds of a Buddha.' At that time, in worlds as numerous as the sands of the Ganges, each Tathagata sent forth Bodhisattvas to propagate the Dharma and illuminate the Great Vehicle, instructing them: 'From here, passing through Buddha-lands twice as numerous as the sands of the Ganges, there is a Buddha-land called Saha (meaning 'endurance' in Chinese), where the Buddha is named Śākyamuni Tathagata, the Unattached (Asakta), the Truthful (Satya), the One who transcends the four paths (of Sravakas, Pratyekabuddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Buddhas) and is beyond rebirth, the Perfectly Enlightened One (Samantabuddha), who performs the deeds of a Buddha through the Dharma, supernatural powers (ṛddhi), and the Buddha's teachings (Buddhavacana).' Each Tathagata held a thousand-petaled lotus flower, bestowed it upon the Bodhisattvas, and admonished them: 'Holding my name, pay immeasurable respect, joyfully inherit the merits of the righteous, accomplish your vows, perfect the body of the Dharma, descend into the world of the five defilements (of kalpa, views, afflictions, beings, and lifespan) to bear the heavy burden for all beings, surpass the order, and precede Maitreya, propagate compassion, practice the six perfections, universally save all beings, live simply, and make the Dharma flourish. Now, offer this flower as a Dharma offering, wishing that all beings may gather in the place of enlightenment.' Those Bodhisattvas, empowered by the Buddha's majestic power, suddenly vanished from their respective Buddha-lands, disappearing from sight. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

定寂静入观三昧，须臾之间俱到忍界。各离其坐，端严恭立，归崇圣化五体投地，退绕七匝却住本位，神足玄处威仪肃然，法服正齐俱发洪音，前白佛言：“我等世尊本土如来致敬无量，欣承功成志就道体备足，降神五浊为众重任，超次趠第在弥勒前，弘慈六度普济群生，兴居轻利道教胜常。今赠此华成法供养，愿使一切普会道场。” 佛言：“善哉正士！欣承彼诸如来慧教不惓三昧通畅，法身空净智明弘备此彼等一。敬嘉所闻，光庆无量。”尔时能仁如来手受此华欣然而笑，光从口出，普照十方恒沙无量诸佛世界，便以此华等散恒沙无量诸佛；恒沙无量诸佛亦以光明普洞通彻恒沙世界。一一众生蒙佛慈光，皆得慧观达识宿命。展转相照照下地狱，三恶八难、天堂人中尽蒙慈光皆得解脱，百千众生尽同一意，普发无上正真道心。其光寻还绕身三匝，灭于顶上。尔时恒沙等诸佛，尽通相见诸佛威神，普使众生普得见佛，现变毕竟廓如常故。 于时坐中有菩萨名曰贤儒，即于佛前以偈叹曰： “妙哉大圣化， 愍哀群萌类， 从无央数劫， 积功累德行。 一一功德行， 有若干百千， 百福成一相， 愿礼三界尊。 妙哉大圣化， 慈慧无有边， 道教清且贵， 释师天中天。 现代汉语译本 他们进入寂静的禅定，以观想三昧，在极短的时间内都到达了忍界（Saha World，娑婆世界）。各自离开座位，仪容端庄恭敬地站立，归心崇敬佛陀的教化，五体投地行礼，然后退后绕佛七圈，回到原来的位置。他们以神通之力隐没身形，威仪庄严肃穆，法衣整齐，一同发出洪亮的声音，向前禀告佛陀说：‘我们这些世尊，向本土的如来（Tathagata，佛陀的称号）致以无量的敬意，欣喜地接受您功德圆满，志向成就，道体完备，降临到充满五浊的世间，肩负起度化众生的重任，超越次第，走在弥勒（Maitreya，未来佛）之前，弘扬慈悲的六度（Six Paramitas，布施、持戒、忍辱、精进、禅定、智慧），普遍救济众生，起居轻便安适，佛陀的教诲殊胜超常。现在我们献上这些鲜花，作为法供养，愿使一切众生都能普遍地汇聚到道场。’ 佛陀说：‘善哉，正士！欣喜地接受彼诸如来智慧的教诲，不厌倦地修习三昧，通达无碍，法身空明清净，智慧光明弘大完备，彼此之间没有差别。敬佩赞赏你们所说的话，光明庆贺，无量无边。’ 这时，能仁如来（Sakyamuni Buddha，释迦牟尼佛）用手接过这些鲜花，欣然微笑，一道光明从口中发出，普遍照耀十方恒河沙数无量诸佛世界，然后将这些鲜花平等地散布到恒河沙数无量诸佛那里；恒河沙数无量诸佛也以光明普遍洞彻恒河沙数世界。每一个众生都蒙受佛陀慈悲的光明，都获得了智慧的观照，通达了宿命。光明辗转相照，照到下方的地狱，三恶道（Three Evil Realms，地狱、饿鬼、畜生）、八难（Eight Difficulties，指没有机会听闻佛法的八种情况）、天堂和人间都蒙受了慈悲的光明，都得到了解脱，成百上千的众生都同一心意，普遍发起无上正真道心（Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi-citta，无上正等正觉之心）。那道光明随即返回，绕佛身三圈，从头顶消失。 这时，恒河沙数等诸佛，都互相看见了诸佛的威神之力，普遍使众生普遍得见佛陀，显现变化完毕后，一切都恢复如常。 这时，座位中有一位菩萨，名叫贤儒，就在佛陀面前用偈颂赞叹说： ‘妙啊，大圣的教化， 怜悯哀伤众生。 从无数劫以来， 积累功德修行。 每一项功德修行， 都有若干百千种， 百种福德成就一相， 愿礼敬三界至尊。 妙啊，大圣的教化， 慈悲智慧没有边际， 佛陀的教诲清净而尊贵， 释迦牟尼佛是天中之天。’

English version They entered into tranquil meditation, contemplating in samadhi, and in an instant, they all arrived at the Saha World (Saha World). Each departed from their seat, standing with dignified and respectful demeanor, reverently submitting to the Buddha's teachings, prostrating themselves with five limbs touching the ground, then retreating and circumambulating the Buddha seven times before returning to their original positions. With their supernatural powers concealed, their deportment was solemn and reverent, their robes neatly arranged, and they all uttered resounding voices, stepping forward to address the Buddha: 'We, these World Honored Ones, extend immeasurable reverence to the Tathagatas (Tathagata, title of a Buddha) of our native lands, joyfully acknowledging the completion of your merits, the fulfillment of your aspirations, and the perfection of your Dharma body. You have descended into the world of five defilements, bearing the weighty responsibility of liberating sentient beings, surpassing all others, even preceding Maitreya (Maitreya, the future Buddha), in your compassionate propagation of the Six Paramitas (Six Paramitas: generosity, morality, patience, diligence, concentration, and wisdom), universally saving all beings. Your dwelling is light and comfortable, and your teachings are supremely excellent. Now, we offer these flowers as a Dharma offering, wishing that all beings may universally gather in the Dharma assembly.' The Buddha said, 'Excellent, virtuous ones! I rejoice in receiving the wise teachings of those Tathagatas, tirelessly practicing samadhi, attaining unobstructed understanding, with Dharma bodies empty and pure, and wisdom bright, vast, and complete, with no difference between them. I respectfully commend what you have said, and my joy is boundless.' At that time, Sakyamuni Buddha (Sakyamuni Buddha) received these flowers with his hand and smiled joyfully. A light emanated from his mouth, universally illuminating countless Buddha worlds as numerous as the sands of the Ganges River, and then he equally scattered these flowers among countless Buddhas as numerous as the sands of the Ganges River; countless Buddhas as numerous as the sands of the Ganges River also used light to universally illuminate countless worlds as numerous as the sands of the Ganges River. Every sentient being, bathed in the compassionate light of the Buddha, attained the wisdom of insight and understood their past lives. The light shone in turn, illuminating the hells below, the Three Evil Realms (Three Evil Realms: hell, hungry ghosts, and animals), the Eight Difficulties (Eight Difficulties: conditions where one cannot easily encounter the Dharma), and the realms of heaven and humanity, all receiving the compassionate light and attaining liberation. Hundreds of thousands of beings, with one accord, universally generated the mind of Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi-citta (Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi-citta, the mind of unsurpassed, complete, and perfect enlightenment). The light then returned, circling the Buddha's body three times, and disappeared from the top of his head. At that time, all the Buddhas, as numerous as the sands of the Ganges River, saw each other's majestic and divine powers, universally enabling sentient beings to see the Buddhas, and after the manifestation of these transformations, everything returned to normal. At that time, a Bodhisattva named Hsien Ju (Virtuous Scholar) in the assembly, praised the Buddha with a verse: 'Wonderful is the Great Sage's transformation, Compassionately grieving for sentient beings. From countless eons, Accumulating merit and cultivating virtuous conduct. Each meritorious act, Has countless hundreds and thousands, Hundreds of blessings form one mark, I wish to pay homage to the Honored One of the Three Realms. Wonderful is the Great Sage's transformation, Compassion and wisdom are boundless, The Buddha's teachings are pure and noble, Sakyamuni Buddha is the God of Gods.' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 大智高无上， 法船济群生， 圣慧净无量， 愿礼无上尊。 妙哉大圣化， 慈光润恒沙， 愚冥永已除， 迷悟及浊清。 惠泽随时宜， 善权接群黎， 法桥度一切， 愿礼三界尊。”
