English version The Path of Bodhi: Always generate vast compassion and loving-kindness, to rescue sentient beings in evil realms from suffering. Bodhisattvas are the refuge that sentient beings constantly rely on, able to clearly discern the minds of all beings; The wondrous Dharma gate of all-knowing wisdom (sarvajñāna-jñāna), universally bestow it upon sentient beings, enabling them to attain liberation.' At that time, the World Honored One told the celestial being Pu-hua Chuang Tian-zi and the great assembly: 'So it is, so it is. Just as you have said, the Bodhisattva Mañjuśrī possesses such merits.' The Sutra of the Buddha's Discourse on the Inconceivable Miraculous Power Realm of the Great Vehicle, Volume 1 Taisho Tripitaka Volume 17 No. 0843 The Sutra of the Buddha's Discourse on the Inconceivable Miraculous Power Realm of the Great Vehicle The Sutra of the Buddha's Discourse on the Inconceivable Miraculous Power Realm of the Great Vehicle, Volume 2 Translated by Shi-hu, the Tripiṭaka Master of the Western Heaven Translation, Grand Master of the Dharma Transmission, Minister Attendant of the Imperial Academy, and Purple-Robed Minister by Imperial Decree Then, the celestial being Pu-hua Chuang Tian-zi again said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One! How long has it been since this Bodhisattva-mahāsattva Mañjuśrī generated the Bodhi mind?' The Buddha said: 'Celestial being! This Bodhisattva Mañjuśrī generated the Bodhi mind more than countless, boundless Ganges sand kalpas ago. Celestial being! Now, for you and the great assembly, I will briefly recount one of those instances.' At that time, the celestial being Pu-hua Chuang Tian-zi said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One! May you, for the sake of us and all those assembled, expound it truthfully.' The Buddha said: 'Celestial being! In the past, before as many kalpas as dust motes, at that time in this Sahā world, there was a Buddha named Puguang Qingjingyinwang Tathagata, Arhat, Sammasaṃbuddha, who appeared in the world. In that Buddha's Dharma, there was a bhikṣu named Qingjingyin, who left home to cultivate the path in that Dharma and attained the five supernormal powers (pañcābhijñā). At that time, that bhikṣu, for forty-two thousand years, used various incenses, flowers, lamps, scented pastes, and various wonderful implements to make offerings to that Buddha, planted these roots of goodness, and generated the mind of anuttarā-samyak-saṃbodhi (anuttarā-samyak-saṃbodhi-citta). Celestial being! What do you think? Was that bhikṣu Qingjingyin someone else? He is now the Bodhisattva-mahāsattva Mañjuśrī.

知，此妙吉祥菩萨已于无量无边殑伽沙数佛世尊所发菩提心，已度殑伽沙数众生，令住须陀洹、斯陀含、阿那含、阿罗汉果；已度殑伽沙数众生，令住缘觉果；已度殑伽沙数众生，令住初地，乃至已度殑伽沙数众生，令住十地。妙吉祥菩萨如是广大种诸善根成就善法。 “复次天子！假使有人满三千大千世界七宝布施如来，是人所获功德其数甚多；若复有人闻此妙吉祥菩萨名字，恭敬受持乃至随喜称念者，当知是人福多于彼。又复天子！若三千大千世界所有众生，一一皆得须陀洹乃至阿罗汉果，是人得福甚多；若复有人闻此妙吉祥菩萨名字能受持者，福多于彼；又若三千大千世界所有众生，一一皆悉得缘觉果，是人得福甚多；若复有人闻此妙吉祥菩萨名字能受持者，福多于彼。何以故？若有人称赞受持诸佛名字，若复有人称赞受持妙吉祥菩萨名字，如是二人所获功德等无有异。” 尔时普华幢天子闻佛世尊作是说已，即与四万天子，合掌恭敬作如是言：“善哉妙吉祥菩萨！甚善甚善！我等志诚归命顶礼。”彼诸天子发是言时，其声普遍三千大千世界皆悉遥闻。 尔时尊者大目乾连闻是声已，来诣佛所前白佛言：“世尊！今此三千大千世界，皆得普闻赞叹音声。是何神力现此希有不思议事？” 现代汉语译本：佛陀说：‘要知道，这位妙吉祥菩萨（Manjushri Bodhisattva，文殊菩萨）已经在无量无边的恒河沙数般的佛陀世尊那里发起了菩提心，已经度化了恒河沙数般的众生，使他们安住于须陀洹（Srotapanna，入流果）、斯陀含（Sakrdagamin，一来果）、阿那含（Anagamin，不还果）、阿罗汉（Arhat，无学果）的果位；已经度化了恒河沙数般的众生，使他们安住于缘觉（Pratyekabuddha，独觉）果位；已经度化了恒河沙数般的众生，使他们安住于初地，乃至已经度化了恒河沙数般的众生，使他们安住于十地。妙吉祥菩萨就是这样广泛地种植各种善根，成就各种善法。’ ‘再者，天子！假设有人用充满三千大千世界的七宝来布施如来，这个人所获得的功德非常多；如果有人听闻这位妙吉祥菩萨的名字，恭敬地接受、奉持，乃至随喜称念，应当知道这个人所获得的福报比前者还要多。又，天子！如果三千大千世界所有的众生，每一个都证得须陀洹乃至阿罗汉果，这个人获得的福报非常多；如果有人听闻这位妙吉祥菩萨的名字能够受持，福报比前者还要多；又如果三千大千世界所有的众生，每一个都证得缘觉果，这个人获得的福报非常多；如果有人听闻这位妙吉祥菩萨的名字能够受持，福报比前者还要多。为什么呢？如果有人称赞受持诸佛的名字，如果有人称赞受持妙吉祥菩萨的名字，这两个人所获得的功德是相等没有差异的。’ 当时，普华幢天子听闻佛世尊这样说后，立即与四万天子一起，合掌恭敬地说：‘太好了，妙吉祥菩萨！太好了，太好了！我们真心诚意地归命顶礼。’这些天子发出这些话语时，他们的声音普遍传遍三千大千世界，所有人都遥远地听到了。 当时，尊者大目乾连（Mahamaudgalyayana，目犍连）听到这个声音后，来到佛陀面前禀告说：‘世尊！现在这三千大千世界，都普遍听到了赞叹的声音。是什么样的神力显现出这种稀有不可思议的事情呢？’

English version: The Buddha said, 'Know this, this Manjushri Bodhisattva has already generated the Bodhi mind in the presence of countless Buddhas, as many as the sands of the Ganges River. He has already liberated beings as numerous as the sands of the Ganges River, enabling them to abide in the fruits of Srotapanna (stream-enterer), Sakrdagamin (once-returner), Anagamin (non-returner), and Arhat (worthy one); He has already liberated beings as numerous as the sands of the Ganges River, enabling them to abide in the fruit of Pratyekabuddha (solitary Buddha); He has already liberated beings as numerous as the sands of the Ganges River, enabling them to abide in the first Bhumi (stage of a Bodhisattva), and even has already liberated beings as numerous as the sands of the Ganges River, enabling them to abide in the tenth Bhumi. Manjushri Bodhisattva thus extensively plants all kinds of good roots and accomplishes virtuous dharmas.' 'Furthermore, son of the gods! Suppose someone were to offer the Tathagata (Thus Come One) the seven treasures filling the three thousand great thousand worlds, the merit that person would obtain would be very great. If someone were to hear the name of this Manjushri Bodhisattva, respectfully accept and uphold it, and even rejoice and recite it, know that this person's merit is greater than the former. Moreover, son of the gods! If all the beings in the three thousand great thousand worlds were to attain the fruits of Srotapanna and even Arhat, the merit that person would obtain would be very great. If someone were to hear the name of this Manjushri Bodhisattva and be able to uphold it, their merit would be greater than the former. Furthermore, if all the beings in the three thousand great thousand worlds were to attain the fruit of Pratyekabuddha, the merit that person would obtain would be very great. If someone were to hear the name of this Manjushri Bodhisattva and be able to uphold it, their merit would be greater than the former. Why is this so? If someone praises and upholds the names of all the Buddhas, and if someone praises and upholds the name of Manjushri Bodhisattva, the merit obtained by these two people is equal and without difference.' At that time, the son of the gods, Universal Flower Banner, having heard the Buddha say this, immediately together with forty thousand sons of the gods, joined their palms respectfully and said, 'Excellent, Manjushri Bodhisattva! Excellent, excellent! We sincerely take refuge and prostrate ourselves.' When those sons of the gods uttered these words, their voices universally spread throughout the three thousand great thousand worlds, and everyone heard them from afar. At that time, the Venerable Mahamaudgalyayana (Great Maudgalyayana) having heard this voice, came to the Buddha and said, 'World Honored One! Now, in this three thousand great thousand worlds, the sound of praise is universally heard. What divine power is manifesting this rare and inconceivable event?' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
