English version: Thus. The World Honored One, for the sentient beings of the degenerate age who aspire to attain Buddhahood through the practice of secret methods, expounded the Wish-Fulfilling Jewel Wheel of Merit and Wisdom. The Dharma wheels of past Buddhas had never proclaimed this expedient method belonging to the Jewel Family. Today, I proclaim this Dharma wheel in this assembly to benefit sentient beings. At that time, the Buddha said to Avalokiteśvara Amoghapāśa Bodhisattva: 'Excellent, excellent, Avalokiteśvara. Since beginningless time, you have cultivated the Samadhi of Great Compassion and Great Mercy throughout vast kalpas, and thus attained the Samadhi of Universally Manifesting Forms, acquiring the body of the Wish-Fulfilling Jewel King. Today, you ask about this matter, so please expound the essential Dharma of Great Compassion. Listen attentively and contemplate it well. I will now explain to you the karmic causes and effects of poverty and fortune. If some sentient beings have intelligence but lack fortune, they create sins and fall into various evil realms. These people mostly have great greed in their past lives. Because of practicing Prajna, they attain wisdom in this life but are poor due to lack of fortune. If some sentient beings have fortune but lack wisdom, these people extensively practiced giving in their past lives but did not cultivate meditation, so they have fortune in this life but lack wisdom. Such karmic retributions are various and different, because fixed karma is difficult to change, and cause and effect are definite.' Therefore, it is difficult to transform these fixed karmas, but the Buddhas have special expedient secret methods that can transform the power of sentient beings' fixed karmic retributions, enabling them to obtain fortune and longevity, and all auspiciousness and great accomplishment will definitely be achieved. You may wait for a moment. There is a great Dragon King named 'Able to Accomplish All Sentient Beings' Desired Joys' (one who can fulfill all sentient beings' wishes), not far from here, there is a large pond, pure and without defilement, without evil birds. The four shores of the pond are made of four treasures, such as gold, silver, lapis lazuli, conch, crystal, pearls, etc., with immeasurable adornments spread throughout. In it, there is a great Dragon King sitting in a five-pillared copper treasure palace, named Anavatapta Dragon King (Dragon King without affliction). He can accomplish various deeds, residing in the eighth ground, the immovable Samadhi, able to have compassion for all sentient beings, constantly using the nectar of wisdom Dharma water to nourish the five grains and grow all things. Therefore, human Dharma is without deficiency or reduction. I am now going to the Prajna pond, the great Dragon King's palace, wanting to expound the Wish-Fulfilling Jewel Great Bodhisattva Dharma. You all may wait for a while, and you will surely have some realization at that time. At that time, Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva of the Wish-Fulfilling Wheel, and others. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version The great Dharma Prince Vajrapani (Vajrapani) and other great Bodhisattva-Mahasattvas who have attained the great initiation, all the assembly were silent, awaiting the opportune moment. Chapter Three: The Wish-Fulfilling Jewel At that time, the Dragon King of Anavatapta (Anavatapta) Lake emerged naturally from the Copper Wheel Dragon Palace in Anavatapta Lake and went to where Sakyamuni Buddha (Sakyamuni Buddha) was. From above the purple clouds, he prostrated before the World-Honored One, offering respectful worship. Together with his retinue, he said to the Buddha: 'World-Honored One, may you enter my palace and receive my offerings. The sentient beings in the lake wish to hear the profound and wonderful Dharma. May the Tathagata, with great compassion, accept our request. Therefore, we and our retinue have come to invite you.' At that time, the World-Honored One accepted the Dragon King's invitation and immediately arose from his jeweled seat, emitting great light that illuminated the worlds of the ten directions, abiding constantly in the Dharma Realm. The pure and jeweled lands shook in six ways, and jeweled flowers rained down from the sky, falling in profusion like winter rain or like flying birds. At that time, the World-Honored Buddhas of the ten directions, the great Bodhisattva assemblies, and all the eight classes of beings with supernatural powers all came and gathered together at once. At that time, the World-Honored One, together with the great assembly, all walked in the great empty sky, riding on white lotus platforms above yellow clouds, playing heavenly music, and entered the Dragon King's palace. The eight classes of beings also followed behind the Buddha, each displaying their supernatural powers. At that time, the great Dragon King's palace in Anavatapta (Anavatapta) Lake shook in six ways, jeweled lotus flowers rained down from the sky, heavenly drums sounded on their own, and light shone brightly. At that time, the dragon princes and dragon daughters in the lake, as well as the great retinue, all gathered together at once, adorning the jeweled palace, arranging lion thrones, preparing offerings, and respectfully welcoming the Tathagata. At that time, the World-Honored One entered the Dragon Palace with his supernatural power and ascended the jeweled lion throne. The throne was adorned with moonlight mani jewels, crystal, silver, and wonderful true jewels. The palace was a red copper five-pillared jeweled palace, with five thousand pavilions on the left and right. In the palace were various jeweled trees, and everywhere there were jeweled ponds, jeweled marshes, jeweled mountains, and jeweled caves, as well as jeweled birds such as peacocks, parrots, and kalavinka birds, all harmoniously singing and playing. At that time, the Tathagata sat on the jeweled throne, like a golden mountain, receiving their offerings. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

。为大龙王宣说法要。其事具如阿耨达池龙王经中说。 尔时会中有一龙女。相好奇妙犹如天女心意和雅。如大菩萨名曰善女。即从座起顶礼佛足而白佛言。我等先世罪障深重。贪恚愚痴而不殖智种。故今我受生于湖水中而为女身。虽无热恼及诸苦患犹居畜类鳞族之中。愿我生生不受女身不作女事。以供养佛及闻法力。皆悉回向佛微妙道。不求余果唯期成佛。 尔时龙王女。即于佛前以偈赞佛言。 世尊面目 犹如月光 清净殊妙 无有比类 我等今日 归依闻法 宿福深厚 得道不虚 我有宝珠 奉献世尊 利益有情 令得法宝 报谢佛恩 守护密教 齐及一切 令得佛果 演说三乘 利益一切 尔时龙王女善女说斯偈已。持一宝珠奉献如来。而作是言。唯愿世尊受我宝珠。是如意宝珠。即龙渊底九重苍海中在水精宝箧中。父王隐秘诸龙守护崇敬尊重。犹如帝释甘露宝瓶。满一切愿。若诸有情得此宝珠。一切所作一切所求。如意如愿一切悉地皆得成就。我今重法即轻宝财故。奉上世尊价直无数。唯愿世雄愿垂纳受。 佛告龙女言。汝今欲为守护正法献上宝珠。我受信心净白宝珠。不受丽龙宝珠。所以者何。如意宝珠者。非有宝非无宝。不有情不非 现代汉语译本：为大龙王宣讲佛法要义，具体内容如同《阿耨达池龙王经》（Anavatapta Dragon King Sutra）中所述。 当时法会中有一位龙女（Naga maiden），相貌奇特美妙如同天女，心意平和文雅，如同大菩萨，名叫善女（Good Woman）。她从座位上起身，顶礼佛足，对佛说：‘我等前世罪业深重，贪婪、嗔恨、愚痴，没有种下智慧的种子，所以今生我投生在湖水中，成为女身。虽然没有热恼和各种苦患，但仍然身处畜生道鳞甲之族中。愿我生生世世不受女身，不做女人的事情，用供养佛和听闻佛法的力量，全部回向于佛的微妙之道，不求其他果报，只希望成就佛果。’ 当时龙王女（Dragon King's daughter）即在佛前用偈颂赞叹佛： ‘世尊的面容，犹如月光，清净殊妙，无可比拟。我等今日，归依佛法，宿世福报深厚，得道真实不虚。我有一颗宝珠，奉献给世尊，利益有情众生，令得法宝，报答佛恩，守护秘密教法，普及一切，令得佛果，演说三乘佛法，利益一切。’ 当时龙王女善女（Good Woman）说完这偈颂后，拿出一颗宝珠奉献给如来，并说道：‘唯愿世尊接受我的宝珠，这是如意宝珠（Cintamani），在龙渊深处九重苍海中，位于水晶宝匣中。父王隐秘珍藏，众龙守护崇敬尊重，犹如帝释天（Indra）的甘露宝瓶，能满足一切愿望。如果众生得到这颗宝珠，一切所作所为，一切所求，都能如意如愿，一切悉地（Siddhi，成就）都能成就。我今重视佛法胜过珍宝，所以奉献给世尊，价值无数。唯愿世间雄者，慈悲纳受。’ 佛告诉龙女说：‘你现在想要为了守护正法而献上宝珠，我接受你信心的清净洁白宝珠，不接受你美丽的龙族宝珠。这是为什么呢？因为如意宝珠，非有宝也非无宝，不属于有情也不属于非有情。’

English version: He expounded the Dharma essentials for the Great Dragon King. The details of this event are as described in the Anavatapta Dragon King Sutra. At that time, in the assembly, there was a Dragon maiden (Naga maiden), whose appearance was extraordinarily beautiful, like a celestial maiden, and whose mind was peaceful and refined, like a great Bodhisattva. Her name was Good Woman (善女). She rose from her seat, prostrated at the Buddha's feet, and said to the Buddha: 'We have accumulated deep karmic obstacles in our past lives, being greedy, hateful, and ignorant, and not planting the seeds of wisdom. Therefore, in this life, I am born in a lake and have a female body. Although I am free from heat and suffering, I still dwell among the scaly creatures of the animal realm. I vow that in every life, I will not be born as a woman, nor perform the duties of a woman. With the power of offering to the Buddha and hearing the Dharma, I will dedicate all of it to the Buddha's subtle path, seeking no other reward, but only aspiring to attain Buddhahood.' At that time, the Dragon King's daughter (Dragon King's daughter) praised the Buddha with a verse in front of the Buddha: 'The World Honored One's face, is like the moonlight, pure, sublime, and incomparable. We today, take refuge and hear the Dharma, our past blessings are profound, attaining the path is true and not false. I have a precious jewel, I offer it to the World Honored One, to benefit sentient beings, enabling them to obtain the Dharma treasure, to repay the Buddha's kindness, to protect the secret teachings, to extend to all, enabling them to attain Buddhahood, expounding the Three Vehicles, to benefit all.' At that time, the Dragon King's daughter, Good Woman (Good Woman), having spoken this verse, presented a precious jewel to the Tathagata, and said: 'May the World Honored One accept my precious jewel, this is a Cintamani (如意宝珠), located in a crystal treasure box in the ninth layer of the azure sea at the bottom of the Dragon Abyss. My father secretly treasures it, and the dragons protect, revere, and respect it, like Indra's (帝释天) nectar vase, fulfilling all wishes. If sentient beings obtain this precious jewel, all that they do, all that they seek, will be as they wish, and all Siddhis (悉地) will be accomplished. I now value the Dharma more than precious treasures, therefore I offer it to the World Honored One, its value is immeasurable. May the World Hero, compassionately accept it.' The Buddha said to the Dragon maiden: 'Now you wish to offer a precious jewel to protect the Proper Dharma, I accept your pure white jewel of faith, but I do not accept your beautiful dragon jewel. Why is that? Because the Cintamani (如意宝珠), is neither a treasure nor not a treasure, it is neither sentient nor non-sentient.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
