English version: Immovable like Mount Vajra. The Vajra Samadhi (Vajra Samadhi, diamond-like concentration) neither retreats nor disappears, entering the ultimate Great Nirvana, freely playing in the Samadhi sea. All Buddhas and Tathagatas, by the power of this Samadhi Raja (Samadhi Raja, King of Samadhis), universally reach all Dharmadhatu (Dharmadhatu, the realm of all dharmas), and are able to freely play in the holy liberation place. When the Buddha spoke these words, Maitreya Bodhisattva (Maitreya Bodhisattva, the future Buddha) immediately attained the Hundred Dharmas Illumination Gate (Hundred Dharmas Illumination Gate, the gate of wisdom that penetrates a hundred dharmas). At that time, the assembly of Bodhisattvas were joyful in body and mind. Some attained the Shurangama Samadhi (Shurangama Samadhi, the ultimate firm concentration in all matters), and some attained the Hundred Dharmas Illumination Gate, their number being countless. Brahma (Brahma, lord of the Form Realm), Śakra Devānām Indra (Śakra Devānām Indra, lord of the Trayastrimsa Heaven), and the Lokapala (Lokapala, the guardian deities of the world), rained down various heavenly flowers and made various heavenly music to offer to the Buddha. The assembly praised Maitreya Bodhisattva in unison: 'Excellent! Excellent! Good man! You are able to ask the Tathagata about such supreme great wisdom, and we are able to partake of the supreme nectar of Dharma and obtain great benefits because of you. We only hope that the Venerable One can ask for us, how much merit will future beings who hear this Dharma obtain?' The Buddha told the assembly: 'Listen carefully, listen carefully, and contemplate well! In the past, ninety-one kalpas ago, there was a Buddha World-Honored One named Ratna-puṣpa (Ratna-puṣpa, Jewel Flower), complete with the ten titles (Tathāgata-arhat-samyak-saṃbuddha-vidyā-caraṇa-saṃpanna-sugata-lokavid-anuttara-puruṣa-damya-sārathi-śāstā-deva-manuṣyāṇāṃ-buddha-bhagavat, Thus Come One, Worthy of Offerings, Perfectly Enlightened One, Perfect in Knowledge and Conduct, Well-Gone, Knower of the World, Unsurpassed One, Tamer of Humans, Teacher of Gods and Humans, Buddha, World-Honored One). At that time, Ratna-puṣpa Buddha widely expounded such Hundred Samadhi Gates (Hundred Samadhi Gates, the gates to a hundred concentrations) for the Bodhisattvas. At that time, there were a thousand bhikṣus (bhikṣu, ordained monks) in the assembly who, upon hearing the Buddha World-Honored One expound these samadhis, rejoiced in body and mind. By the power of the good roots of rejoicing, they transcended the sins of birth and death of five million billion asamkhya kalpas. Were those thousand bhikṣus different people? They are the thousand Buddhas of the present Bhadrakalpa (Bhadrakalpa, the Fortunate Aeon).' The Buddha told the assembly: 'After the Buddha's Parinirvana, if there are bhikṣus (bhikṣu, ordained monks), bhikṣuṇīs (bhikṣuṇī, ordained nuns), upāsakas (upāsaka, laymen), upāsikās (upāsikā, laywomen), the eight classes of gods and dragons (Nāga, dragons and other eight kinds of deities), and all other beings, if they can temporarily hear the Buddha's supreme wisdom, deeply rejoice in their hearts without giving rise to slander, they will never fall into the three evil realms (three evil realms, hell, hungry ghosts, animals) in hundreds of thousands of kalpas, and in every life they will always encounter Buddhas and Bodhisattvas as their family. If they hear this Dharma without giving rise to doubt or slander, they will surely be reborn in the Tuṣita Heaven (Tuṣita Heaven, Maitreya Bodhisattva's Pure Land) after death, and be close to Maitreya Bodhisattva to hear the practice of the profound and irreversible Dharma wheel (Avivartaniya-cakra, the irreversible Dharma wheel). If someone receives, upholds, reads, recites, explains, writes, and makes various offerings with incense, flowers, music, etc., this person' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version: ‘When all of you are about to die, if you can sincerely recite the Dharmakaya (the Body of Essence of the Buddha) of the Buddha, you will immediately see ninety billion Buddhas coming to offer their hands, allowing you to be reborn at will in the pure lands of all the Buddhas, where you can freely play in the ocean of Samadhi (meditative absorption).’ The Buddha told Maitreya (the future Buddha) and instructed Ananda (the Buddha's attendant): ‘You must receive and uphold this Sutra well, and do not forget or lose it. Even when the Dharma is about to perish, you should widely proclaim it.’ Ananda said to the Buddha: ‘World Honored One! What should this Sutra be called? How should the essential points of this Dharma be practiced and upheld?’ The Buddha told Ananda: ‘This Sutra is called the ‘Sutra of the Ocean of a Hundred Samadhis, Imperishable and Indestructible,’ it is also called the ‘Sutra of the Diamond Appearance, Tranquil and Unmoving,’ and it is also called the ‘Diamond Samadhi Sutra of the Pure, Imperishable, and Indestructible Original Nature.’ You should uphold and practice it.’ When the Buddha spoke these words, Sariputra (one of the Buddha's chief disciples) and all the great Sravakas (hearers), Maitreya and all the great Bodhisattvas (enlightenment beings), the eight classes of gods and dragons, and all the great assembly were overjoyed, prostrated themselves before the Buddha, and withdrew.
