English version Each king had eighty-four thousand consorts and concubines. At that time, the concubines were beautiful, the most excellent in the world. Each king had five hundred princes, and each king had twelve thousand daughters. These twelve thousand daughters were all beautiful, the most excellent in the world. These kings governed without whips or weapons, each king ruling his own kingdom. Maudgalyayana! In the world of Endurance, there is a Buddha named 波勿多罗陀那賴比怛薩阿竭、阿羅訶、三耶三佛 (Pāvakataradhanālaṃkārabhibhūta Tathāgata, Arhat, Samyaksaṃbuddha) (translated in Jin as: 'The Tathagata of Treasure-Emitting Light, Without Attachment, Perfectly Enlightened'), now teaching the Dharma. Maudgalyayana! When that Tathagata attained Anuttarā-samyak-saṃbodhi (Unsurpassed Perfect Enlightenment), in that four continents (referring to the four major continents around Mount Sumeru), he rose into the sky, seven 'ren' (ancient unit of length) above the ground, sat in full lotus position (a meditative posture), and upon assuming the lotus position, emitted great light. At that time, the worlds of the four continents could all see each other, heavenly flowers rained down, and musical instruments played without being struck, each instrument producing hundreds of thousands of sounds. The earth shook six times, and the sounds of the music were like the voice of Brahma, brought about by immeasurable hundreds of thousands of merits. He turned the Wheel of Dharma (preached the Buddhist teachings), and all defilements of desires were completely extinguished, reaching Nirvāṇa without remainder (complete liberation), teaching the Dharma to the masses with the knowledge of a Bodhisattva. 'When that Tathagata preached the Dharma, in this world of the four continents, eighty thousand kings and their consorts, concubines, princes, and daughters, after seeing the Buddha's transformations, all generated the mind of Anuttarā-samyak-saṃbodhi (the mind of Unsurpassed Perfect Enlightenment). All the people in that country, men, women, boys, and girls, were far from dust and defilement, and the Dharma-eye of all dharmas arose (correct understanding of the Dharma). These kings and their consorts, concubines, sons, and daughters, all requested to become śrāmaṇas (ordained practitioners) from the Buddha. At that time, the Tathagata allowed them all to become śrāmaṇas. After becoming śrāmaṇas, wherever they were, in the cities, towns, villages, wherever they went, they walked and did not ride in carriages or on horses, sleeping, waking, and eating in monasteries, no longer engaging in farming or planting, eating only naturally grown food, and gods came down to offer them sustenance.' 'At that time, when the Tathagata gathered again to preach the Dharma, all the disciples and practitioners attained Sakṛdāgāmin (Second Stage Arhat), and the Bodhisattva practitioners all...' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

得欢喜忍。三会说法时,一切人皆得阿那含,菩萨行者皆逮得五通。四会说法时,一切皆得阿罗汉,菩萨行者皆得不起法忍,夫人、婇女、男女皆得不起法忍。尔时夫人、婇女及诸女皆转女人身悉得男子,不复见女像。时彼如来皆授决为阿耨多罗三耶三菩。 “于目连意云何?乃知彼土宝放光明如来、无所著、等正觉不?” 目连言:“不及。天中天!” 佛言:“则我身是!名为如来道神足无极之变化也。是故目连!一切弟子、缘一觉所不能及知也。 “复次目连!于是三千大千刹土西北方,去是五万五千四天下世界,其世界名揵沓提(晋言:香气),世界纯以污勒迦挲罗栴檀,其栴檀大如一钱者,价当是世。彼世界有树三曼陀揵陀(晋言:其香普熏)。彼世界一一树其香四百里,其土皆生莲华大如车轮,一华者有不可计百千叶、无央数色,其华柔软如天綩綖。华生高二丈华,其香遍四天下,香甚香。彼世界四天下栴檀为交露,经行处亦皆栴檀,波昙华来在两边。彼世界无城郭、县邑、聚落,但有交露帐覆盖其上。其世界人民食饮,譬如第五尼曼罗天上。复次彼放香普熏世界,佛号揵陀勿赖比(晋言:香气放光明)如来、无所著、等正觉,现在说法。彼如来世界纯是菩萨行,无有弟子、缘 现代汉语译本: 获得欢喜忍。第三次说法时,所有人都证得阿那含(Anagamin,不还果),菩萨行者都获得五神通。第四次说法时,所有人都证得阿罗汉(Arhat,无学果),菩萨行者都获得不起法忍,夫人、婇女、男女都获得不起法忍。当时夫人、婇女以及所有女子都转为男子之身,不再有女人的形象。当时那位如来都为他们授记,将来证得阿耨多罗三藐三菩提(Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi,无上正等正觉)。 ‘目连(Maudgalyayana)啊,你认为如何?知道那个国土的宝放光明如来(Ratnavabhāsa-prabhāsa Tathāgata)、无所著(Arhat)、等正觉(Samyak-sambuddha)吗?’ 目连说:‘不及,世尊!’ 佛说:‘那就是我的化身!名为如来道神足无极之变化。因此,目连啊!一切弟子、缘觉(Pratyekabuddha)都无法企及和知晓。’ ‘再次,目连!从这个三千大千世界(Tri-sahasra-maha-sahasra-lokadhatu)的西北方,经过五万五千四天下世界(Caturdvipa-loka-dhatu),有一个世界名叫揵沓提(Gandhatati,香气),那个世界完全由污勒迦挲罗栴檀(Ulukasara-candana)构成,那种栴檀大如一枚钱币,价值相当于这个世界。那个世界有树名叫三曼陀揵陀(Samantagandha,其香普熏)。那个世界每一棵树的香气都能散发四百里,那里的土地都生长着莲花,大如车轮,一朵花有不可计数的百千花瓣、无数的颜色,那些花柔软如天綩綖。花朵生长高达二丈,花香遍布四天下,非常香。那个世界的四天下,栴檀作为交露,行走的地方也都是栴檀,波昙华(Padma)生长在两边。那个世界没有城郭、县邑、聚落,只有交露帐覆盖在上面。那个世界的人民的饮食,就像第五尼曼罗天(Nirmāṇaratideva)一样。再次,那个放香普熏世界,佛号揵陀勿赖比(Gandhavimalaprabhasa,香气放光明)如来、无所著、等正觉,现在正在说法。那位如来的世界纯粹是菩萨行,没有弟子、缘觉。

English version: He obtained the 'joyful acceptance' (harṣa-kṣānti). During the third assembly when the Dharma was preached, everyone attained Anagamin (non-returner), and the Bodhisattva practitioners all attained the five supernormal powers (pañcābhijñā). During the fourth assembly when the Dharma was preached, everyone attained Arhat (worthy one), and the Bodhisattva practitioners all attained the 'non-arising Dharma-acceptance' (anutpattika-dharma-kṣānti). The ladies, consorts, men, and women all attained the 'non-arising Dharma-acceptance'. At that time, the ladies, consorts, and all the women transformed their female bodies and all obtained male bodies, no longer seeing the female form. At that time, those Tathagatas all bestowed predictions upon them, that they would attain Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi (unsurpassed perfect enlightenment). 'What do you think, Maudgalyayana? Do you know the Tathagata Ratnavabhāsa-prabhāsa (Jewel-radiance-light Tathagata), Arhat, Samyak-sambuddha (perfectly enlightened one) of that land?' Maudgalyayana said, 'Not as much, World Honored One!' The Buddha said, 'That is my manifested body! It is called the Tathagata's divine power of the path, the limitless transformation. Therefore, Maudgalyayana! All disciples and Pratyekabuddhas (solitary Buddhas) cannot reach or know it.' 'Furthermore, Maudgalyayana! To the northwest of this Tri-sahasra-maha-sahasra-lokadhatu (three-thousand-great-thousand world system), going beyond fifty-five thousand four-continent world systems (Caturdvipa-loka-dhatu), there is a world called Gandhatati (Fragrant). That world is purely made of Ulukasara-candana (Ulukasara sandalwood). That sandalwood, as large as a coin, is worth as much as this world. That world has trees called Samantagandha (Universally Fragrant). Each tree in that world has a fragrance that spreads four hundred li (Chinese miles), and the land there grows lotuses as large as chariot wheels. One lotus has countless hundreds of thousands of petals, with innumerable colors, and the flowers are as soft as heavenly silk. The flowers grow two zhang (Chinese feet) high, and their fragrance pervades the four continents, being very fragrant. In that world's four continents, sandalwood serves as dew, and the paths are also made of sandalwood, with Padma (lotus) flowers growing on both sides. That world has no city walls, counties, or villages, but only dew-covered tents covering it. The food and drink of the people in that world are like those of the fifth Nirmāṇaratideva (heaven of delight in transformation). Furthermore, in that Fragrant Universally Perfumed World, the Buddha is called Gandhavimalaprabhasa (Fragrance-pure-light Tathagata), Arhat, Samyak-sambuddha, and is currently preaching the Dharma. That Tathagata's world is purely the practice of Bodhisattvas, without disciples or Pratyekabuddhas.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
