English version: The mind is also like this. At that time, Manjushri Kumara, with reverence, rose from the lotus seat, bared his right shoulder towards the Tathagata, single-mindedly prostrated, knelt with palms joined, and said to the Buddha: 'Great Holy World Honored One! All foolish beings in the world do not believe in such profound and subtle words: Tathagata, World Honored One (Bhagavan), Tathagata (Tathagata), Arhat (Arhat), Samyaksambuddha (Samyaksambuddha) who has awakened to Bodhi and attained the Tathagata's wisdom, the wisdom of freedom, immeasurable wisdom, incomparable wisdom, countless wisdom, asamkhya wisdom, great wisdom, Buddha wisdom, and all-knowing wisdom.' The Buddha said: 'So it is, so it is. Manjushri! All the world is inconceivable; likewise, the Tathagata, Arhat, Samyaksambuddha who has awakened to Bodhi, and the Tathagata's wisdom, even all-knowing wisdom, are also inconceivable. Listen carefully, listen carefully, Manjushri! For example, there is a person in the world who grinds all the land of the three thousand great thousand worlds (trichiliocosm), as numerous as the sands of the Ganges River, into dust, combines all these dusts into one mass, and with a single breath from his mouth, causes each of the original dusts to return to its original realm, just as before, without any loss or gain. What do you think? Manjushri! Is this believable?' Manjushri said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One! This matter is difficult to believe; beings in the world truly have no faith.' The Buddha told Manjushri: 'So it is, so it is. I now say that the Tathagata, Arhat, Samyaksambuddha who has awakened to Bodhi and attained the Tathagata's wisdom, even all-knowing wisdom, is also like this; it is difficult for all beings in the world to believe.' 'Furthermore, Manjushri! For example, there is a person in the world who scoops up all the calamitous waters in the three thousand great thousand worlds, as numerous as the sands of the Ganges River—waters whose waves surge even up to the Second Dhyana Heaven—and puts them all into a small lotus root hole; after putting them in, the lotus root does not become larger or break. What do you think? Manjushri! Is this believable?' Manjushri said to the Buddha: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 世尊！是事难信，世间众生实无信者。”

English version: All sentient beings in the world find it difficult to believe. ‘Furthermore, Manjushri (Manjushri, symbol of wisdom)! Suppose there is a person in the world who uses all the space in the three thousand great thousand worlds, as numerous as the sands of the Ganges River. This person wants to sit in the lotus position, filling all this space, either staying for one kalpa (kalpa, an extremely long unit of time) or half a kalpa. What do you think? Manjushri! Is this believable?’ Manjushri said to the Buddha: ‘World Honored One! This is difficult to believe; there are truly no beings in the world who can believe it.’ The Buddha told Manjushri: ‘It is so, it is so. I now say that after the Tathagata (Tathagata, one of the titles of the Buddha), Arhat (Arhat, one who is worthy of offerings), Samyaksambuddha (Samyaksambuddha, a fully enlightened being) has awakened to Bodhi, this wisdom of the Tathagata, up to and including all-knowing wisdom (sarvajnana, complete understanding of all things and phenomena), is also like this; all sentient beings in the world find it difficult to believe.’ ‘Furthermore, Manjushri!
