t15n0647 power adornment samadhi sutra.g2.0f

English

English version: Heavenly leaves, lotus roots, heavenly Tamala (a type of spice), and heavenly cassia turmeric emit fragrant clouds, universally pervading and encircling the empty space; moreover, countless heavenly beings produce limitless music, hundreds of millions of nayutas (a large number) of natural sounds, all proclaiming the wonderful Dharma. At this time, this three-thousand-great-thousand world is filled with empty space, adorned with various seven-jeweled lotuses, the most supreme fragrance and light all appearing golden, with pure blue lapis lazuli used as the stems, the lotus platforms seven cubits wide and seven xuns (an ancient Chinese unit of length) high, the lotus blossoms opening, exceedingly delightful; heavenly sandalwood trees, Mandarava flower trees, heavenly dragon flower trees, each tree seven tala (a type of palm tree) high, branches and leaves luxuriant, color and fragrance complete, blue, yellow, red, and white all like lotuses. Thus adorned, the three-thousand-great-thousand world—from all earthly realms to the highest heaven—is like a heavenly palace, a pure and wonderful land. Having manifested this transformation, at this time all immeasurable beings, through the power of the Buddha, are without obstruction, seeing each other clearly like pure lapis lazuli—because of the inconceivable realm of the Buddha. At this time, the devas residing on the earth in this three-thousand-great-thousand world, up to all the Akanishtha heavens (the highest heaven in the Realm of Form), along with five hundred Arhat Bhikshus, eighty hundred thousand Bodhisattva assemblies, and so on, thought thus: 'This is the power and adornment of the Tathagata, this is the lion among men of the Tathagata, this is the greatest vigor of the Tathagata, this is the lion's vigor of the Tathagata, this is the great great lion's vigor and leaping of the Tathagata, this is the great great supernatural adornment of the Tathagata, inconceivable, beyond praise.' Having seen thus, the devas, Shravakas (listeners), all the Bodhisattvas, and all the great assemblies, all generated great faith in the Buddha, knelt on their right knees, joined their palms, and with one mind bowed their heads in offering and remained there. At this time, passing through worlds as numerous as the sands of the Ganges River to the east, there is a Buddha-land named All Light, wherein there is a Buddha named Boundless Light Tathagata (Thus Come One), Arhat (Worthy of Offerings), Samyak-sambuddha (Perfectly Enlightened One), with a great Bhikshu assembly of eighty million, Bhikshunis (nuns) of thirty million, Bodhisattva Mahasattvas (great beings) of eighty hundred thousand, Upasakas (male lay devotees) of eight hundred and eighty thousand, and Upasikas (female lay devotees) of seventy million. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
