English version: Said, 'Having converted beings in this way, are you not weary?' Avalokiteśvara (观自在, a Bodhisattva whose name means 'Observing the Sounds of the World') replied, 'I am not weary.' Having inquired, he remained silent. At that time, the World-Honored One told the good men, 'Listen carefully, I will now explain to you the Six Pāramitās (六波罗蜜多, the six perfections). Good men, if you wish to become a Bodhisattva, you should first practice Dāna Pāramitā (布施波罗蜜多, the perfection of giving), and then practice Śīla (持戒, moral conduct), Kṣānti (忍辱, patience), Vīrya (精进, diligence), Dhyāna (静虑, meditation), and Prajñā (般若, wisdom) Pāramitā. In this way, you can attain complete fulfillment.' Having spoken these teachings, the World-Honored One remained silent. At that time, the assembly dispersed, each returning to their own abode. The Bodhisattvas also departed, returning to their respective Buddha-fields.

What Samādhi (三摩地, meditative absorption) doors does that Bodhisattva possess? May the World-Honored One explain them to me.'

Good man, Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva Mahasattva, his position as a Bodhisattva is of such merit, that even all the Buddhas and Tathagatas praise his unprecedented merits. Good man, in the past when I was a Bodhisattva, I, along with five hundred merchants, intended to go to the Lion Country, taking carts, camels, oxen, etc., to seek treasures. We set out on that road, passing through villages, towns, cities, and settlements, and eventually arrived at the seashore, intending to board a large ship. Then we all boarded the ship. I then asked the shipmaster, 'You should observe the wind direction, from where it arises and to which country it goes? Is it going to Treasure Island, Java, or the land of the Rakshasis?' Then the shipmaster, observing the wind direction, said, 'Now this wind is suitable for going to the Lion Country.' At that time, taking advantage of the wind, we sailed towards the Lion Country. In that country, there were five hundred Rakshasis (Rakshasi, a female demon who eats humans), who suddenly transformed and caused a violent storm, the waves stirred and destroyed the ship. At that time, all the merchants fell into the water, drifting and floating in the sea, reaching the shore. Those five hundred Rakshasis --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

见诸商人。各各摇动其身出于恶声。现童女相来商人所。各以衣服与诸商人。于是着彼衣服。捩自湿衣曝之令干。而离彼处。即往瞻波迦树下憩歇。歇已互相谓言。我今云何作何方便。无复方计说已默然。是时彼罗刹女。又来于商人前作如是言。我无夫主可与于我而为夫耶。于此我有饮食衣服库藏园林浴池。时彼罗刹女各各将一商人归自所居。于是罗刹女中而有一女。为大主宰名啰底迦囕。彼女与我相将归彼所居。彼女而以上味饮食。供给于我丰足饱满。我当快乐无异人间。于彼止宿经停二三七日。忽然见彼啰底迦囕欣然而笑。我时心生疑怪未曾见闻。彼罗刹女作如是笑时。我问言汝今何故作是笑耶。罗刹女言此师子国罗刹女所住之地恐伤汝命。于是我问汝何故知耶。罗刹女言勿履南路而去。何以故彼有铁城上下周围而无门户。其中而有无数商人。其中多已被彼食啖唯余骸骨。彼今见有活者死者恐不相信。但依此路而去到彼。自当信我。是时我伺彼女惛沉睡眠。于是菩萨向夜分时。持月光剑往于南路。而行到彼铁城周匝而看。一无门户亦无窗牖。彼铁城边有一瞻波迦树。攀升树上我时高声唤问。时铁城内商人告于我言。贤大商主而还知不。我等被罗刹女致在铁城。而于日日食啖百人。彼等具说昔时事已。于是我下瞻波 现代汉语译本 我看见了那些商人。他们各自摇动身体，发出难听的声音。然后，他们显现出童女的模样来到商人面前，各自用衣服与商人交换。接着，他们穿上商人的衣服，拧下自己湿衣服的水，晾晒使之干燥，然后离开那个地方，前往瞻波迦树（Champaka tree）下休息。休息完毕后，他们互相说道：‘我们现在该怎么办？有什么办法呢？’说完，大家都沉默不语。这时，那些罗刹女（Rakshasa, female demon）又来到商人面前，这样说道：‘我没有丈夫，可以和我结为夫妻吗？’‘在这里，我有饮食、衣服、库藏、园林、浴池。’于是，那些罗刹女各自带走一个商人，回到自己居住的地方。在这些罗刹女中，有一个是最大的主宰，名叫啰底迦囕（Ratika-ram）。她带我回到她居住的地方。她用美味的饮食供养我，使我丰足饱满。我感到快乐，和人间没有什么不同。我在那里住了二三个七天。忽然，我看见那个啰底迦囕高兴地笑了。我当时心里感到奇怪，从未见过这样的事情。当那个罗刹女这样笑的时候，我问她说：‘你现在为什么这样笑呢？’罗刹女说：‘这里是师子国（Lion Country, Sri Lanka）罗刹女居住的地方，恐怕会伤害你的性命。’于是我问她：‘你为什么知道呢？’罗刹女说：‘不要走南边的路。’‘为什么呢？’‘因为那里有一座铁城，上下四周都没有门户。其中有无数的商人，其中很多人已经被她们吃掉了，只剩下骸骨。她们现在看见有活着的人和死去的人，恐怕你不相信。但是你沿着这条路走，到了那里，自然会相信我的话。’当时，我等待她昏沉睡去。于是，菩萨（Bodhisattva）在半夜时分，拿着月光剑，前往南边的路。走到那座铁城周围观看，没有门户，也没有窗户。在那座铁城边上有一棵瞻波迦树。我攀爬到树上，高声呼唤询问。这时，铁城内的商人告诉我：‘贤明的大商主，你还不知道吗？我们被罗刹女带到铁城，每天都要吃掉一百个人。’他们详细地讲述了过去的事情。于是，我从瞻波树上下来。

English version I saw those merchants. Each of them shook their bodies and uttered unpleasant sounds. Then, they manifested as young maidens and approached the merchants, each exchanging clothes with them. After that, they put on the merchants' clothes, wrung out the water from their own wet clothes, dried them, and then left that place, going to rest under the Champaka tree (Champaka tree). After resting, they said to each other, 'What should we do now? What method is there?' Having said this, they all remained silent. At that time, those Rakshasa women (Rakshasa, female demon) came again before the merchants and said, 'I have no husband, can you marry me?' 'Here, I have food, clothing, storehouses, gardens, and bathing ponds.' Then, each of the Rakshasa women took one merchant back to her dwelling. Among these Rakshasa women, there was one who was the greatest ruler, named Ratika-ram. She took me back to her dwelling. She provided me with delicious food, making me full and satisfied. I felt happy, no different from being in the human world. I stayed there for two or three weeks. Suddenly, I saw that Ratika-ram smiled happily. At that time, I felt strange in my heart, having never seen such a thing. When that Rakshasa woman smiled like this, I asked her, 'Why are you smiling like this now?' The Rakshasa woman said, 'This is the land where the Rakshasa women of Lion Country (Lion Country, Sri Lanka) dwell, I am afraid it will harm your life.' Then I asked her, 'How do you know?' The Rakshasa woman said, 'Do not go south.' 'Why?' 'Because there is an iron city there, with no gates up and down all around. There are countless merchants inside, many of whom have already been eaten by them, leaving only bones. Now that they see living and dead people, I am afraid you will not believe it. But if you go along this road, you will naturally believe my words when you get there.' At that time, I waited for her to fall into a deep sleep. Then, the Bodhisattva (Bodhisattva) at midnight, holding the moonlight sword, went to the south road. Walking around that iron city, I saw that there were no gates or windows. There was a Champaka tree next to that iron city. I climbed up the tree and shouted loudly to inquire. At this time, the merchants inside the iron city told me, 'Wise great merchant, don't you know? We were brought to the iron city by the Rakshasa women, and they eat a hundred people every day.' They told in detail about the past events. Then, I came down from the Champaka tree. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
