English version The Sutra of the Fifty Causes of the Bodhisattva's Practice Translated by Dharma-rakṣa from Yuezhi during the Western Jin Dynasty The Buddha was in Mount Gṛdhrakūṭa (Vulture Peak) in Rāmagṛha (Rajgir), at that time with 1,250 Bhikṣu monks, Bhikṣuṇīs (nuns), Upāsakas (male lay devotees), Upāsikās (female lay devotees), countless Devas (gods), Nāgas (dragons), ghosts, and spirits, as well as 100,000 Bodhisattvas from the ten directions, all naturally seated on seven-jeweled lotus lion thrones. The Bodhisattvas from the ten directions saw that the Buddha was incomparably dignified, possessing the thirty-two major marks and eighty minor characteristics. Among those seated, there was a Bodhisattva named Jñānaśrī, who said to the Bodhisattva Mañjuśrī: 'Virtuous one! You are knowledgeable in the profound sutras, can you know by what causes and conditions the Buddha adorned his body and obtained such merits?' All the Bodhisattvas from the ten directions were delighted to hear these words. Mañjuśrī Bodhisattva immediately rose, knelt on his knees, and said to the Buddha: 'Among the Bodhisattvas seated here, some have already attained the state of Avaivartika (non-retrogression), and some have not yet attained the state of Avaivartika, but all see that the Buddha's body possesses the thirty-two major marks and eighty minor characteristics, adorning his body, incomparably dignified. What are the causes and conditions for this? May the Buddha explain to the Bodhisattvas the merits they accumulated in their past lives, so that the Bodhisattvas, upon hearing this, will increase their merits even more.' The Buddha said: 'Excellent, excellent! Mañjuśrī! You have initiated such an intention to ask!' The Buddha said: 'Listen to me as I speak of the merits accumulated in past lives. 'Bodhisattvas in life after life greatly value and cherish all kinds of rare and wonderful things, and give them away to others, always giving with good eyes and good intentions. Because of this, the Buddha has fully attained wisdom and knows all the sutras. 'Bodhisattvas in life after life use beautiful women (cǎinǚ) and precious ornaments to adorn, and give them away to others with good intentions. Because of this, the Buddha's voice can produce ten thousand kinds of sounds. 'Bodhisattvas in life after life always look at the people of the world with good wishes and good intentions. Because of this, people never tire of seeing the Buddha, just like the moon on the fifteenth day of the lunar month, full of beauty, watching.' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 之无有厌。

English version There is no satiety. 'Bodhisattvas (enlightenment beings) explain the scriptures to people in life after life, not seeking any reward, but simply to bring them peace and security. For this reason, when the Buddha (awakened one) speaks the Dharma (teachings), people listen without weariness or dissatisfaction. 'Bodhisattvas never speak ill of others in life after life, and even if someone does evil, they do not spread it to others. For this reason, defilement does not cling to the Buddha's body. 'Bodhisattvas constantly endure slander and insult in life after life, and even if they have strength, they endure it all. For this reason, when the Buddha walks, high ground becomes low, and low ground becomes high. 'Bodhisattvas give generously to those in poverty and distress in life after life, and when they see people's positions ruined, they restore them to their posts in peace. For this reason, when the Buddha walks, the earth manifests its divine power, as if in joy. 'Bodhisattvas never make bows, crossbows, knives, or weapons to harm others in life after life. For this reason, when the Buddha walks, thorns, tiles, stones, hills, and ruins all move out of the way on their own. 'Bodhisattvas never violate or neglect the Dharma they have heard from their teachers in life after life. For this reason, everything the Buddha does is so complete and perfect. 'Bodhisattvas delight in lighting lamps in Buddhist temples and before their teachers and parents in life after life, and they resolve people's doubts. For this reason, the light and flames of the Buddha's body appear, extraordinarily beautiful and incomparable, with such majestic divine power. 'If Bodhisattvas see slaves speaking the scriptures in life after life, they do not scold or stop them, but listen themselves. For this reason, the Buddha's speech is without impediment or error. 'Bodhisattvas do not look at people with malicious eyes in life after life, and if they have anger, they gradually endure it. For this reason, the Buddha's eyes are neither too big nor too small, long and beautiful, and people who see the Buddha cannot help but rejoice. 'Bodhisattvas do not direct lustful thoughts towards other beautiful women in life after life. For this reason, the color of the Buddha's body is incomparably beautiful, and those who see it cannot help but rejoice. 'Bodhisattvas offer ripe fruits and fragrant flowers to the Buddha, the Bhiksu-samgha (community of monks), their teachers, and their parents in life after life. For this reason, fruit trees and flowers all bend towards the Buddha when they see him. 'Bodhisattvas make uneven and bad roads straight and even in life after life.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
