English version Seeing places without bridges, (the Bodhisattva) builds bridges for them, not forcing people due to lack of money. Because of this, the humble gate that the Buddha enters becomes great. In lifetime after lifetime, seeing empty places without wells or trees, (the Bodhisattva) plants trees for them, digs wells, and provides various foods for people to eat. Because of this, in the places where the Buddha walks, springs of water with eight flavors emerge from the ground. In lifetime after lifetime, seeing people walking and going in and out, (the Bodhisattva) does not speak ill of them. Because of this, the Buddha's body is entirely beautiful, without flaws or impurities. In lifetime after lifetime, (the Bodhisattva) applies various fragrances to the Buddha's body, and with a kind heart, makes offerings to the Buddha and pagodas. Because of this, the gods and humans create fragrant winds to offer to the Buddha. In lifetime after lifetime, (the Bodhisattva) uses various fragrant waters to wash the faces of the Buddha and the Bodhisattvas, and provides toothpicks and combs. Because of this, the Buddha's face and mouth are fragrant, like opening the seal of a treasure of fragrances. In lifetime after lifetime, seeing people with anger directed towards the Bodhisattva, (the Bodhisattva) always treats them with kindness. Because of this, when the Buddha walks, even if there are insects under his feet, none fail to find peace and safety; the Buddha's majestic power is so awe-inspiring. In lifetime after lifetime, (the Bodhisattva) takes all his lands and beautiful fragrant flowers and clothing to offer to the Buddha. Because of this, when someone scatters flowers on the Buddha, they form a canopy of flowers. In lifetime after lifetime, (the Bodhisattva) does not destroy people's houses, and always likes to build houses. Because of this, the Buddha has the strength of a diamond, as firm as a mountain in all directions, and no one can harm the Buddha's body. In lifetime after lifetime, seeing people who are hungry and thirsty, (the Bodhisattva) always first feeds them and gives them water, and then explains the scriptures to them. Because of this, in the places where the Buddha stays, there are always fragrant flowers and flowing water in front. In lifetime after lifetime, when people ask him for something, (the Bodhisattva) immediately gives it if he has it, without any reluctance. Because of this, when the Buddha speaks the scriptures, people who hear them do not suffer in vain, and all receive benefit; because of this, the Buddha subdues all demons. In lifetime after lifetime, (the Bodhisattva) uses beautiful music to delight the Buddha and the pagodas. Because of this, when the Buddha speaks the scriptures to his disciples, people throughout a Buddha-realm can hear it. In lifetime after lifetime, (the Bodhisattva) makes trees of gold, silver, and various jewels to offer to the Buddha. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 故,诸天龙鬼神无有能见佛顶上者。

English version Therefore, no gods, dragons, ghosts, or spirits can see the top of the Buddha's head. ‘Bodhisattvas build stupas (Buddhist shrines) in every lifetime and anoint them with various fragrances. Because of this, precious jewels and fragrant flowers are scattered upon the Buddha wherever he goes. ‘Bodhisattvas, in every lifetime, upon seeing someone poisoned, always go to heal them with a compassionate heart. Because of this, wherever the Buddha goes, whether people or trees are poisoned, they are all cured. ‘Bodhisattvas, in every lifetime, always follow the sutras (Buddhist scriptures) and do not violate them, their hearts are always gentle and they are patient with others. Because of this, if someone comes to the Buddha's place in a state of madness, there is no one who does not find peace. ‘Bodhisattvas, in every lifetime, always use various kinds of incense to make offerings to the Buddha's relics and to anoint the stupas. Because of this, the Buddha's body has no foul odor or blemishes, and calamities cannot reach the Buddha's body. The Buddha's majestic power is so awe-inspiring. ‘Bodhisattvas, in every lifetime, if someone is confused or possessed by ghosts or spirits, always go to rescue them and enable them to be liberated. Because of this, wherever the Buddha goes, if there are insects or ants on the ground, they are all removed. ‘Bodhisattvas, in every lifetime, serve their teachers and parents. If they see them sleeping, they do not startle them awake repeatedly. If they wish to awaken them, they should use music, or recite scriptures with kind words to awaken them. Because of this, when the Buddha is silently meditating, the gods, Brahma (a deity), and Indra (a deity) use music and incense to awaken him. ‘Bodhisattvas, in every lifetime, build monasteries (Vihara) for the Buddha, and arrange the beds, bedding, and various items well. Because of this, mosquitoes, gadflies, bees, snakes, fleas, and lice dare not approach the Buddha's body. ‘Bodhisattvas, in every lifetime, during the cold winter, make fine and beautiful clothes for the Buddha and the Bodhisattvas. Because of this, even if a strong wind arises in front of the Buddha, he does not feel cold or hot, and even his clothes and hair do not move. ‘Bodhisattvas, in every lifetime, if there is extraordinary and delicious food, they never eat it alone. If their teachers and parents have food, they do not diminish their portion to eat it themselves. Because of this, the Buddha relinquishes his majestic power, and even without food, the Buddha is not hungry or thirsty, and his body does not weaken. ‘Bodhisattvas, in every lifetime, do not set fires in the mountains and fields, and they eliminate the three poisons (greed, hatred, and delusion) of others. Because of this, after the Buddha's Parinirvana (final passing), even if the fire is very intense, it cannot change the Buddha's color. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 。

English version: ‘The Bodhisattva always respects teachers, parents, and virtuous people in every lifetime, offering them the finest houses, clothing, and food, and giving to those who beg. Because of this, the devas (gods), ghosts and spirits, and elders offer all the precious treasures of the world to the Buddha. ‘The Bodhisattva always prepares the path for the Buddha in every lifetime, anointing the ground with fragrant water. Because of this, when the Buddha walks, the devas arrange and scatter various beautiful flowers on the ground. ‘The Bodhisattva always upholds the precepts in every lifetime, never violating them, nor teaching others to violate them. Because of this, even if a fierce storm arises from all directions, it cannot move a single hair of the Buddha. ‘The Bodhisattva always donates five-colored canopies in the Buddha's path in every lifetime, and invites the Buddha and the Bhikshu Sangha (community of monks) to eat underneath. Because of this, wherever the Buddha goes, the devas hang five-colored canopies to follow the Buddha, and the Buddha's majestic power is so awe-inspiring. ‘The Bodhisattva always offers jeweled shoes to the Buddha with a kind intention in every lifetime. Because of this, when the Buddha walks, his feet are four inches above the ground, not touching the ground, and auspicious marks appear on the soles of his feet. ‘The Bodhisattva always holds banners, flags, flower canopies, and various five-colored items to offer to the Buddha's stupa (a dome-shaped structure erected as a Buddhist shrine). Because of this, various colored banners, flags, and canopies naturally arise and follow the Buddha. ‘The Bodhisattva always prepares the path for the Buddha in every lifetime, sprinkling the ground with various fragrant juices. Therefore, wherever the Buddha goes, the nagas (serpent deities) sprinkle the ground with various fragrant juices. ‘The Bodhisattva never speaks impure or taboo words in every lifetime, and if there are such words, he restrains himself from uttering them. Because of this, the devas, nagas, spirits, and birds cannot fly above the Buddha. ‘The Bodhisattva always supports and welcomes the Buddha or the Bhikshu Sangha when they arrive, and pays homage to the Buddha. Because of this, wherever the Buddha goes, the devas, Brahma (creator god), Indra (king of the gods), Asuras (demigods or titans), ghosts and spirits, and people of the world all welcome the Buddha and touch their heads to the Buddha's feet. ‘The Bodhisattva always protects his body, speech, and mind in every lifetime, not committing any evil deeds, and not only with his body, but also giving to the people of the ten directions. Because of this, when the Bodhisattva is in his mother's womb, the foul and unclean places do not touch his body, and he is always peaceful and undisturbed. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 恐怖,亦无有娆者。
