English version Immeasurable 'asamkhya' (Sanskrit, meaning countless) beings, as numerous as the sands of the Ganges, are enabled by this countenance to escape all evils and fully achieve inconceivable merits. This good man, with his firm vow power, can enable all beings to achieve enlightenment. Such a son of a good family sometimes manifests as the body of Brahma (Hindu god) to accomplish beings, sometimes as the body of Ishvara (Hindu god), Mahadeva (Hindu god), or Maheshvara (Hindu god). Sometimes he manifests as the body of Parinirmita-vasavartin (the highest of the six heavens in the desire realm), Nirmanarati (one of the six heavens in the desire realm), Tushita (one of the six heavens in the desire realm), Yama (one of the six heavens in the desire realm), Shakra (the lord of the gods), or the Four Heavenly Kings. Sometimes he manifests as the body of a Bodhisattva, sometimes as the body of a Pratyekabuddha, or as the body of a Shravaka. Sometimes he manifests as the body of a Chakravartin (universal monarch), a Brahmin (priest caste), a Kshatriya (warrior caste), a Vaishya (merchant caste), or a Shudra (laborer caste). Sometimes he manifests as the body of a man or a woman, sometimes as the body of a boy or a girl. Sometimes he manifests as the body of a Gandharva (celestial musician), a Kinnara (celestial musician), a Mahoraga (great serpent deity), a Deva (god) or a Naga (dragon), or a Yaksha (guardian spirit). Sometimes he manifests as the body of a Rakshasa (demon), sometimes as the body of a Kumbhanda (pot-shaped demon), sometimes as the body of a Pishacha (flesh-eating demon), sometimes as the body of a Putana (foul-smelling demon). Sometimes he manifests as the body of a lion, sometimes as the body of a tiger or a wolf, sometimes as the body of a dove or a horse, sometimes as the body of a water buffalo, sometimes as the body of various birds. Sometimes he manifests as the body of Yama (the lord of death), sometimes as the body of a hell-warden, sometimes as the body of hell itself, expounding various Dharmas for all beings, revealing the Three Vehicles (Shravaka Vehicle, Pratyekabuddha Vehicle, Bodhisattva Vehicle) according to their capacities, enabling them all to attain the state of non-retrogression. This good man has achieved such an inconceivable treasury of merit, adorning himself with the jewel of liberation. He is also the mother of all Dharmas of the Bodhisattvas, the supreme merchant leading to Great Nirvana. Good man, Maitreya (future Buddha), Manjushri (Bodhisattva of wisdom), Avalokiteshvara (Bodhisattva of compassion), Samantabhadra (Bodhisattva of practice), and others are the leaders. If someone were to pay homage and make offerings to such great Bodhisattvas, as numerous as the sands of the Ganges, for a hundred kalpas (eons), seeking their wishes, it would not equal the merit of paying homage and making offerings to Kshitigarbha Bodhisattva for the duration of a single meal. The merit is far greater, and the wishes sought will be quickly fulfilled. Why? Because this Kshitigarbha Bodhisattva can greatly benefit all beings, like a wish-fulfilling jewel. This son of a good family, wishing to accomplish beings, can generate a firm and great treasury of compassion, fulfilling the wishes of all beings. Therefore, good men and good women, you should make offerings to Kshitigarbha Bodhisattva. At that time, the assembly, including Bodhisattva-Mahasattvas (great Bodhisattvas) and Shravakas (hearers) who came from the ten directions, all the Devas (gods), humans, Yakshas (guardian spirits), Gandharvas (celestial musicians), etc., rose from their seats... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
