From these sounds of lute songs and various musical instruments, such sounds of Samadhi Dharma emerge, causing sentient beings to receive transformation and depart. The Bodhisattva-Mahasattva achieves such rare and wonderful Dharmas.’ When speaking of the various meritorious deeds and supernatural powers of the Kinnara King (a Kinnara King, a deity that is half-human and half-bird) of the Great Tree, due to the power of the Buddha, celestial Mandala flowers (Mandala flower, a type of celestial flower) gathered, causing the assembly to scatter them upon the Kinnara King of the Great Tree! The Kinnara King of the Great Tree, with his supernatural power, caught them with his right hand, not a single flower fell to the ground but remained in his hand. At that time, the Kinnara King of the Great Tree immediately offered and scattered the flowers upon the Tathagata (Tathagata, an epithet of the Buddha). As the flowers were scattered, due to the Buddha's divine power, these flowers formed a jeweled canopy covering a thousand worlds. From this jeweled canopy hung countless trillions of strings of precious pearls, each string of pearls emitting countless trillions of rays of light; each ray of light produced jeweled lotus flowers, of varied colors, wonderfully beautiful, and with pleasing fragrance. Within all the flower platforms, the form and image of Sakyamuni Tathagata (Sakyamuni Tathagata, the present Buddha) appeared, seated in the lotus position. All these Buddhas praised the Kinnara King of the Great Tree: ‘Excellent, excellent, Kinnara King! You are able to teach and transform countless sentient beings. Bodhisattvas should act in this way, both transcending the world and returning to the world to teach and transform sentient beings, having exhausted birth and death, yet returning to receive existence.’ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

得涅槃位还游三界,于是中生教化众生。” 尔时大树紧那罗王作如是念:“我今当作一一宝盖,覆一一佛上。”尔时是王即入三昧,名庄严宝盖。当其入是三昧之时,有妙宝盖一一各覆诸如来上,一切大众右手亦各执持宝盖,以为己用供养于佛。 是时大树紧那罗王复作是念:“我今当请释迦如来及诸菩萨并声闻僧、一切大众,至香山中我宫殿食,令无量无边天、龙、夜叉、乾闼婆、阿修罗、迦楼罗、紧那罗、摩睺罗伽等,集令听法,我身当供如来给使,令彼众生长夜利益安隐快乐。” 尔时大树紧那罗王作是念已,顶礼佛足,合掌白言:“唯愿世尊及菩萨众并声闻僧哀愍我等,至香山王受请七夜,令无量众生增长善根。世尊!我今堪任能为走使,哀愍大树紧那罗王,及菩萨众、诸声闻僧当至香山七日之中,怜愍我故。” 尔时紧那罗王知佛可已,欢喜踊跃遍满其身,与其夫人、男女眷属,作众伎乐供养于佛,礼世尊足右绕三匝,出众而去还至香山。 是时大树紧那罗王于香山中,庄严自己所住园林为供如来,庄严妙地纵广五百由旬,青琉璃地阎浮檀金以为间错,众宝杂色互相映发。是时场上敷百千妙座,以宝莲花而间错之,敷置百千万亿天衣,复于场上为佛如来敷师子座,高三十 现代汉语译本:‘获得涅槃之位后,仍然游历于三界之中,在此期间教化众生。’ 当时,大树紧那罗王(Mahavriksha Kinnara Raja,一种天神)心中想:‘我现在应当制造一个个宝盖,覆盖在每一尊佛的上方。’那时,这位国王立即进入三昧(Samadhi,禅定),名为庄严宝盖。当他进入这种三昧之时,有美妙的宝盖一个个地覆盖在诸位如来(Tathagata,佛的称号)的上方,一切大众的右手也各自执持宝盖,用来供养佛陀。 这时,大树紧那罗王又想:‘我现在应当邀请释迦如来(Sakyamuni Tathagata)以及诸位菩萨(Bodhisattva)和声闻僧(Sravaka Sangha,听闻佛法而出家的僧人)、一切大众,到香山中的我的宫殿里用餐,让无量无边的天(Deva)、龙(Naga)、夜叉(Yaksa)、乾闼婆(Gandharva)、阿修罗(Asura)、迦楼罗(Garuda)、紧那罗(Kinnara)、摩睺罗伽(Mahoraga)等聚集在一起听法,我亲自供养如来,服侍左右,让这些众生在漫长的黑夜中获得利益、安稳和快乐。’ 当时,大树紧那罗王这样想完后,顶礼佛足,合掌说道:‘唯愿世尊(Bhagavan,佛的称号)以及菩萨众和声闻僧慈悲怜悯我们,到香山王接受七夜的邀请,让无量众生增长善根。世尊!我现在能够胜任跑腿打杂的差事,请您慈悲怜悯大树紧那罗王,以及菩萨众、诸声闻僧,在香山停留七日,怜悯我吧。’ 当时,紧那罗王知道佛陀已经应允,欢喜踊跃,遍满全身,与他的夫人、男女眷属一起,演奏各种乐器供养佛陀,礼拜世尊的足,右绕三圈,退出人群,返回香山。 这时,大树紧那罗王在香山中,庄严自己所居住的园林,用来供养如来,庄严美妙的场地,纵横五百由旬(Yojana,古印度长度单位),地面是青琉璃,用阎浮檀金(Jambudvipa gold,一种珍贵的黄金)作为间隔,各种宝物杂色互相辉映。这时,场地上面铺设着成百上千的妙座,用宝莲花点缀其间,铺设着百千万亿的天衣,又在场地上面为佛如来铺设师子座(Simhasana,佛的座位),高三十

English version: 'Having attained the position of Nirvana, one still travels in the Three Realms, teaching and transforming sentient beings within them.' At that time, the Great Tree Kinnara King (Mahavriksha Kinnara Raja, a type of celestial being) thought to himself: 'I shall now create individual jeweled canopies, each covering a Buddha.' At that moment, the king entered a Samadhi (Samadhi, meditative state) called Adorned Jeweled Canopy. As he entered this Samadhi, wondrous jeweled canopies each covered the Tathagatas (Tathagata, 'Thus Gone One', an epithet of the Buddha), and all the assembly each held a jeweled canopy in their right hand, using it to make offerings to the Buddha. At this time, the Great Tree Kinnara King further thought: 'I shall now invite Sakyamuni Tathagata (Sakyamuni Tathagata), along with all the Bodhisattvas (Bodhisattva) and Sravaka Sangha (Sravaka Sangha, the community of monastic disciples who hear and follow the teachings), and the entire assembly, to dine in my palace in Fragrant Mountain, and gather countless Devas (Deva), Nagas (Naga), Yakshas (Yaksa), Gandharvas (Gandharva), Asuras (Asura), Garudas (Garuda), Kinnaras (Kinnara), Mahoragas (Mahoraga), and others to listen to the Dharma. I myself shall serve the Tathagata, attending to his needs, so that these beings may gain benefit, peace, and happiness throughout the long night.' At that time, having thought thus, the Great Tree Kinnara King bowed at the Buddha's feet, joined his palms, and said: 'May the World Honored One (Bhagavan, an epithet of the Buddha), along with the assembly of Bodhisattvas and the Sravaka Sangha, have compassion on us and accept the invitation to Fragrant Mountain King for seven nights, so that countless beings may increase their roots of goodness. World Honored One! I am now capable of performing errands and tasks. Please have compassion on the Great Tree Kinnara King, and the assembly of Bodhisattvas and the Sravaka Sangha, and stay in Fragrant Mountain for seven days, out of compassion for me.' At that time, knowing that the Buddha had accepted, the Kinnara King rejoiced and was filled with joy throughout his body. Together with his wife, children, and relatives, he made various musical offerings to the Buddha, bowed at the World Honored One's feet, circumambulated him three times to the right, and departed from the assembly, returning to Fragrant Mountain. At that time, the Great Tree Kinnara King, in Fragrant Mountain, adorned his own garden where he lived to offer it to the Tathagata, adorning the wonderful ground, five hundred yojanas (Yojana, an ancient Indian unit of distance) in length and width. The ground was made of blue lapis lazuli, with Jambudvipa gold (Jambudvipa gold, a precious type of gold) interspersed, and various precious colors reflected each other. At that time, hundreds of thousands of wonderful seats were spread on the ground, interspersed with jeweled lotus flowers, and hundreds of millions of heavenly garments were spread.

English version Two Yojana (Yojana, an ancient Indian unit of distance), adorned with various treasures, surrounded by railings of treasures, with banners and canopies displayed, and various treasure pillars erected. Countless 'jian hei chen shui' incense (high quality agarwood) was burned, with silk ribbons hung above as dust covers. Banners, canopies, and silk ribbons were hung all around, and various heavenly flowers were scattered. Great treasure trees of various colors and exquisite beauty were placed on all four sides of the seat. Many people from outside, as well as one's own family members, had gathered and were all present. Then, verses were spoken to them, and they were instructed: ‘It is rare to encounter a Buddha appearing in the world, like the Udumbara flower; The honored one among humans has now appeared in the world; one should respectfully make offerings to him. Abandon arrogance, laziness, and falsehood, and also stay away from stinginess, greed, and delusion; All should abandon all kinds of jesting and respectfully honor the guide. All kinds of wonderful and pleasing flowers, the supreme flowers of the heavens, the flowers of Fragrant Mountain; All should be gathered and placed in one place to be offered to the immortal among humans. All kinds of wonderful and pleasing incense, 'jian hei chen shui' incense and Zantan (Sandalwood) incense; Should be burned in this Fragrant Mountain to be offered to the supreme being. All kinds of musical instruments and wonderful songs, loved by Kinnaras (Kinnara, a type of celestial being) and others; Each should skillfully tune the various musical instruments to be offered to the great hero immortal. Banners, canopies, and wonderful clothes, soft and beautifully dyed, pleasing to the heavens; Display and arrange them to serve and make offerings to the Tathagata! This is rare to encounter, rare to obtain, and unparalleled. After making offerings to the Buddha, one will reach a good place, or become Indra (Indra, king of the gods), or the Four Heavenly Kings, Or become Brahma (Brahma, the creator god), or Isvara (Isvara, Shiva), and always become the honored king among humans and gods! Appearance, majesty, and name, family attendants and treasures; All teachings can be received and enjoyed; after making offerings to the Buddha, one can obtain these benefits. The joy of the gods and the happiness of humans, wanting to always be happy in the cycle of birth and death; Wanting to obtain constant happiness and the instruments of happiness, one should make offerings to this supreme being. Wanting to obtain the Pratyekabuddha vehicle, the Sravaka vehicle, and to obtain the supreme and wonderful vehicle; And also wanting to subdue the demonic enemies, one should make offerings to the Dharma King!’ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ”
