English version: Chapter 31, 'Lifespan of the Tathagata'. Chapter 32, 'Abodes of Various Bodhisattvas'. These two chapters comprise one volume. Chapter 33, 'Inconceivable Qualities of the Buddhas', two volumes. Chapter 34, 'Seas of Marks and Characteristics of the Ten Bodies of the Tathagata'. Chapter 35, 'Meritorious Virtues of the Minor Marks and Light of the Tathagata'. These two chapters comprise one volume. Chapter 36, 'Practices and Vows of Samantabhadra', one volume. Chapter 37, 'Appearance of the Tathagata', three volumes, with the eighth assembly re-held at the Universal Light Hall, consisting of one chapter. Chapter 38, 'Leaving the World', seven volumes, with the ninth assembly held at Jeta Grove, consisting of one chapter. Chapter 39, 'Entering the Dharma Realm', twenty-one volumes. The reason for the title 'Great Expansive Buddha Garland (Avatamsaka)' is that 'Great Expansive' refers to the Dharma, and 'Buddha Garland' refers to the person. Furthermore, 'Great' signifies the pervasiveness of the essence, and 'Expansive' signifies the vastness of the function. The arising of function based on essence is called 'Great Expansive'. 'Buddha' is the one who realizes and proclaims the truth, and 'Garland' is the adornment of the fruition through the cultivation of causes. The scripture elucidates these meanings, hence it is called the 'Great Expansive Buddha Garland Sutra'. This sutra comprises a total of seven locations, nine assemblies, and thirty-nine chapters, totaling eighty volumes. The first assembly was held at the Aranya (Aranya, meaning quiet place) of the Bodhi field, with six chapters elucidating the Buddha's fruition virtues. Vairocana (Vairocana, meaning universally illuminating) initially attained perfect enlightenment, and the lords of the ten directions, such as Mahesvara (Mahesvara, meaning great sovereign), along with Bodhisattvas, totaling forty assemblies, kindred retinues, numbering like the dust motes of each Buddha-land, all arrived at the assembly. Therefore, there is the 'Wondrous Adornments of World Rulers' chapter, describing the gathering of the sea of beings. The Buddha manifests true appearance, hence there is the 'Appearance of the Tathagata' chapter, describing the true appearance apart from appearances, which cannot be observed by lesser Bodhisattvas. Therefore, the great being Samantabhadra (Samantabhadra, meaning universal worthy), enters the Samadhi of Sovereignty, realizing the Buddha's realm, hence there is the 'Samantabhadra's Samadhi' chapter. The Buddha has a dependent reward, and within the dependent reward, first discern the causes and conditions that can be fully possessed, hence there is the 'World System Formation' chapter, and then elucidate the sea of lands relied upon, hence there is the 'Garland Array World' chapter. Since the dependent reward is manifested, the grand and magnificent proper reward belongs to the dignified, hence there is the 'Vairocana' chapter. Furthermore, this first assembly is the realm of faith and joy. The second assembly does not leave the Bodhi field, accepting the invitation of the Dragon Palace, and is named the Universal Light Hall Assembly, with six chapters discerning the minds of believers. The Buddha responds to sentient beings, first manifesting the three karmas. Establishing a title based on bodily karma, there is the 'Names of the Tathagata' chapter, and elucidating the teachings based on verbal karma, there are the 'Four Noble Truths'. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

品约意业以警众。则有光明觉品欲生正信。先须正解。故有菩萨问明品解而不行。如说食求饱足。以立行以解解。故有净行品因行以成德之。为众善之元。故有贤首品此第二会虽明正信。未立慧根。如彼轻毛随风无定。   第三不离菩提场。受天王请。升忉利天宫会。经有六品。生正慧根。升忉利天宫。化主赴众。忉利天宫偈赞品助化赞德。此之二品。当会由常。十住品。辨住中之解。梵行品。明住中之行。发菩提心功德品。彰住中之德。此之三品。当会正说。明法一品。当会□进。此会正慧既明。   第四不起菩提场。升夜摩天宫会。经有四品。托彼慧根。生其正行。升夜摩天宫品。应物合如。夜摩宫中偈赞品。德无不备。此之二品。当会兴彼。十行品。正辨成行。十无尽藏品。摄行进。此后会。虽立根茎。而枝叶未布。   第五不起菩提场。升兜率天宫会。经有三品。明回向愿。遍众生界普荫无唯。升兜率天宫品。明于佛有感必□。兜率宫中偈赞品。表于众无德不称。十回向品。即当会正说。言回向者。回自向他。回小向大。回事向理。由三回向。证彼三身。前□五会。住极三贤。   第六不动菩提场。应他化自在天宫会。经有一品。登于十圣。明十地住。又贤者善也。圣者正也。所言三者。十 现代汉语译本: 《品约意业以警众》旨在警示大众注意自己的意念活动。《光明觉品》是为了生起真正的信心,而要生起正信,首先必须要有正确的理解。因此有了《菩萨问明品》,但仅仅理解而不付诸行动,就像只是谈论食物却想以此来填饱肚子。为了通过行动来巩固理解,所以有了《净行品》,通过实践来成就德行。为了成为一切善行的根源,所以有了《贤首品》。这第二次集会虽然阐明了正信,但还没有建立起智慧的根基,就像轻飘飘的羽毛随风飘荡,没有定所。 第三次集会没有离开菩提道场,应天王之请,升到忉利天宫(Trāyastriṃśa Palace,三十三天宫)举行。这次集会有六品经文。《升忉利天宫品》是为了生起真正的智慧之根。《忉利天宫偈赞品》是为了帮助教化和赞叹功德。这两品经文是这次集会的常态。《十住品》辨别安住其中的理解。《梵行品》阐明安住其中的修行。《发菩提心功德品》彰显安住其中的德行。这三品经文是这次集会的主要内容。《明法品》是这次集会的增进。这次集会正慧已经阐明。 第四次集会没有离开菩提道场,升到夜摩天宫(Yāma Palace,夜摩天宫)举行。这次集会有四品经文,依托那智慧之根,生起真正的行动。《升夜摩天宫品》是应物而合于真如。《夜摩宫中偈赞品》是功德无所不备。这两品经文是这次集会兴起的内容。《十行品》正是辨别成就行动。《十无尽藏品》是摄取行动的增进。这次集会虽然建立了根茎,但枝叶还没有展开。 第五次集会没有离开菩提道场,升到兜率天宫(Tuṣita Palace,兜率天宫)举行。这次集会有三品经文,阐明回向的愿力,普遍荫蔽众生界,没有遗漏。《升兜率天宫品》阐明对于佛的感应必定有所回应。《兜率宫中偈赞品》表明对于大众没有不称颂的功德。《十回向品》就是这次集会的主要内容。所谓回向,就是回自己向他人,回小向大,回事向理。通过这三种回向,证得那三身(Trikāya)。前面五次集会,安住于极位的三贤。 第六次集会没有移动菩提道场,应他化自在天宫(Parinirmita-vaśavartin Palace,他化自在天宫)举行。这次集会有一品经文,登上十圣位,阐明十地(Daśa-bhūmi)的安住。贤,是善的意思;圣,是正的意思。所说的三,是指十。
