‘For those who delight in the Dharma, (the Buddha) expounds the Dharma for them.’ At that time, there were also Devas (gods), Nāgas (serpentine beings), Yakṣas (nature spirits), Gandharvas (celestial musicians), Asuras (demigods), Garuḍas (mythical birds), Kinnaras (mythical beings, half-human and half-bird), Mahoragas (great serpents), with their retinues and sentient beings of the world, all came to approach, make offerings, revere, respect, and prostrate (to the Buddha), all came seeking liberation; there were also eight thousand Deva sons, with their retinues, abandoning heavenly bliss to come to the Buddha's place, listening to the wonderful Dharma and seeking liberation; there were also two thousand Yakṣas, with their retinues, abandoning violence and wickedness, all generating the mind of Anuttarā-samyak-saṃbodhi-citta (unsurpassed, complete and perfect enlightenment); there were also three thousand great Nāgas, also with their retinues, generating the Bodhi-citta (mind of enlightenment), coming to the Buddha's place, hoping to seek liberation. There were also five hundred Bhikṣuṇīs (nuns), all came to approach, revere, prostrate (to the Buddha), respect, praise, rejoice, and leap with joy, listening to and receiving the teachings, seeking the Bodhi-mārga (path to enlightenment); there were also two thousand Koṭis (ten million) of Bodhisattva-mahāsattvas (great Bodhisattvas), hearing the Buddha's teachings, eliminating obstacles and gaining liberation. At that time, the World-Honored One told Siṃhavikrīḍita Bodhisattva (Lion-Play Bodhisattva), ‘Good man! In the past, you and I, at the place of Dīpaṃkara-tathāgata (Dipankara Buddha), Arhat (worthy one), Samyak-saṃbuddha (perfectly enlightened one), heard the essential teachings of the Dharma, cultivated the practice of Kṣānti-pāramitā (patience), peacefully endured suffering, without any violation, no evil thoughts arose, complete and perfect. Again, we heard the exposition of the Ṣaṭ-pāramitā (six perfections)—namely, Dāna-pāramitā (generosity), Śīla-pāramitā (discipline), Kṣānti-pāramitā (patience), Vīrya-pāramitā (diligence), Dhyāna-pāramitā (meditation), Prajñā-pāramitā (wisdom)—because of this, we were able to hear the most supreme and wonderful Dharma, increase good roots, and attain non-retrogression. Because at that time we heard the Buddha's teachings, diligently practiced, realized the fruit of the path, obtained the marks of a great person, and respected the Dharma; we should always make offerings to the Buddhas of the ten directions and the great Bodhisattvas, attend to good teachers, understand the emptiness of the nature of phenomena, and attain the presence of right mindfulness. ‘Good man! Again, in the past, countless Asaṃkhyeya-kalpas (incalculable eons), a Buddha appeared in the world, named Sumeru-rāja-tathāgata (Mount Sumeru King Thus Come One), Arhat (worthy of offerings), Samyak-saṃbuddha (perfectly enlightened), Vidyā-caraṇa-saṃpanna (endowed with knowledge and conduct), Sugata (well-gone), Lokavid (understander of the world), Anuttara-puruṣa (unexcelled person), Damya-puruṣa-damaka (tamer of those who can be tamed), Śāsta deva-manusyānām (teacher of gods and humans), Buddha (awakened one), Bhagavat (world-honored one). That Buddha's lifespan was immeasurable hundreds of thousands of Koṭis (ten million)' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version A long time ago, there was a world called Vaiḍūryagarbha (Lapis Lazuli Golden Light); the land of that Buddha-land was as flat as a whetstone, composed and adorned with gold, silver, lapis lazuli, seashell, agate, and various other treasures, without any filth, rubble, or thorns. 'Good man! At that time, in the assembly of that Buddha, there were eighty hundred thousand kotis of nayutas of bhikkhus (monks), all of whom were Arhats (worthy ones), all outflows exhausted, without any fetters, their minds liberated; there were also countless hundreds of thousands of bhikkhunis (nuns); there were also countless hundreds of thousands of upasakas (male lay followers), and countless hundreds of thousands of upasikas (female lay followers), all gathered together. 'Good man! At that time, that Bhagavan (World-Honored One) taught and transformed sentient beings of the Three Vehicles: the Sravakayana (Vehicle of Hearers), the Pratyekabuddhayana (Vehicle of Solitary Buddhas), and the Bodhisattvayana (Bodhisattva Vehicle); for the Sravakas (Hearers), he taught the Four Noble Truths; for the Pratyekabuddhas (Solitary Buddhas), he taught the Twelve Links of Dependent Origination; for the Bodhisattvas (Enlightenment Beings), he taught the Six Paramitas (Perfections); with profound and subtle essential principles of good Dharma, he enabled the great assembly to abide in the Dharma and each attain liberation. 'Good man! At that time, the treasure land of that Vaiḍūryagarbha (Lapis Lazuli Golden Light) world was flat and even, with many treasure trees lined up along the sides of the roads, with golden ropes marking the roads and treasure nets intertwined, and the gentle breeze blowing and colliding with each other, producing subtle sounds; the sounds expounded the various wonderful Dharma sounds of impermanence, suffering, emptiness, and non-self, namely the sound of emptiness, the sound of signlessness, the sound of wishlessness, the sound of non-arising, the sound of non-cessation, the sound of formlessness, and the sound of no-nature. The sentient beings therein, hearing these various subtle sounds, felt joy in their hearts and each attained liberation. 'Good man! In the pure Dharma of that Sumeru-king Tathagata (Thus Come One), Arhat (Worthy of Offerings), Samyaksambuddha (Perfectly Enlightened One), you were a bhikkhu (monk) named Quan Hui (Encouraging Wisdom), loving the true Dharma and seeking the Buddha-gnosis (Buddha-knowledge); without any greed, your precepts were pure, your heart was always joyful, praising the Mahayana (Great Vehicle), diligently cultivating day and night, respectfully making offerings; when someone came seeking the Dharma, you expounded it for them according to their capacity, without being stingy, explaining and guiding them in various ways, enabling them to attain liberation, without any seeking in your heart, abiding in equality, possessing complete good roots, and fulfilling the vows of Bodhi (Enlightenment).'
