English version Thousands of musical instruments are used to make offerings to the Buddha, as well as to the Bodhisattvas and Sravakas. Then the second Trayastrimsa-deva-raja (King of the Thirty-Three Heavens), the devas of the desire realm, up to the seventh Brahma-deva (Lord of the Form Realm), all the devas, with fragrant flowers and music, increasingly surpass each other. The Contemplation Sutra says, 'Countless devas make heavenly music, and there are also musical instruments suspended in the void, like heavenly jeweled banners, playing without being struck.' Now, when people recite the Buddha's name, on the day of their death, heavenly music welcomes them in the sky, precisely because heavenly music is constantly made in the Pure Land. The ground is of gold. This connects the preceding and initiates the following. It says that on the golden ground, not only is heavenly music heard, but heavenly flowers are also seen. Gold refers to the ground of lapis lazuli, interspersed with gold. The Contemplation Sutra says, 'Seeing the ground of lapis lazuli, inside and out, shining through, below are diamond seven-jeweled golden pillars, supporting the ground of lapis lazuli, above with golden ropes, mixed and interwoven.' According to this, gold is the adornment of the lapis lazuli ground. Day and night, six times, it rains heavenly Mandala flowers. This says that on the golden ground, heavenly flowers constantly rain down. Six periods make up the day, and six periods make up the night, forming one day. Mandala is the name of a heavenly flower, a white flower. The Great Sutra says, 'All the devas bring hundreds of thousands of fragrant flowers from the heavens to offer to that Buddha, as well as to the Bodhisattvas and Sravakas.' Furthermore, Subhuti (Buddha's disciple), being skilled in expounding Prajna (wisdom), Indra (the Lord of the Gods) scatters flowers. From this, it can be known that the beings reborn in the Pure Land, with one-pointed concentration, then thoughts do not arise, and all dharmas are empty and still, which is being skilled in expounding Prajna, so what doubt is there that they would receive offerings from the devas? The beings in that land, always in the early morning, each with their garment pouches, fill them with wonderful flowers, and offer them to hundreds of thousands of millions of Buddhas in other directions. This says that the flowers rained down by the heavens are taken by the beings to offer to the Buddhas. Bodhisattvas and below, up to even the initial aspiring ordinary beings reborn in that land, are all called beings. The clear and bright air of early morning is called early morning. 'Always' means daily. 'Each' means everyone. Garment pouches are containers for holding flowers, or it can be said to be the lapel of the garment. 'Other directions' means from one's own country to other countries. Hundreds of thousands of millions of Buddhas, one Buddha represents one great thousand world. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version: 'Yan Guang Yuan Ye' (言广远也): This refers to the vastness and profundity. 'Gong Yang Zhe' (供养者): This refers to the act of offering items, food, or other forms of reverence to the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, or Sangha. The 'Great Sutra' states: 'The Bodhisattvas, relying on the majestic power of the Buddha, can, in the time it takes to eat a meal, travel to countless worlds in the ten directions to make offerings to all the Buddhas. Flowers, incense, music, clothing, canopies, banners, and countless offerings. If they wish to offer flowers, they transform into flower canopies in the air, all pointing downwards, to complete the offering.' 'Immediately after the meal, they return to their own country.' 'The time of the meal is the morning vegetarian meal. From dawn to the morning vegetarian meal is the shortest time. Using the shortest time to make offerings to the most Buddhas demonstrates its speed. The Great Sutra says: 'Having made the offerings, they suddenly rise lightly and return to their own country, still before having eaten.' 'Eating and walking.' Following the previous mention of mealtime, it next speaks of eating. It refers to being comfortable after the meal. The 'Great Sutra' says: 'Those who are reborn there, during their mealtime, silver bowls and gold bowls appear at will. Hundreds of flavors of food fill them. Sour, salty, sweet, and bland, each according to their wishes. After eating, it dissolves on its own, leaving no residue. Some see the color and smell the fragrance, considering it as food, and are naturally satisfied. After eating, it transforms and disappears, reappearing when the time comes. Walking refers to continuous circulation. Walking leisurely and comfortably after eating.' 'Shariputra (舍利弗: One of the Buddha's ten principal disciples, known for his wisdom), the Land of Ultimate Bliss is adorned with such meritorious virtues.' Concluding the above, the heavenly music, raining flowers, and various adornments are all accomplished by the merits of Amitabha Buddha (阿弥陀佛: The principal Buddha of the Western Pure Land). Dharmakara's vow states: 'When I become a Buddha, the Bodhisattvas in my land, with incense, flowers, and various offerings, wishing to go to other worlds to make offerings to the Buddhas, can reach them all in the time it takes to eat a meal.' It also says: 'When I become a Buddha, the people in my land, when they wish to eat, hundreds of flavors of food will manifest before them in precious bowls.' Now that I have become a Buddha, all my vows have been fulfilled. 'Chapter Five: Transformation of Birds and Trees Expounding the Dharma' This speaks of the excellence of beings in the Land of Ultimate Bliss hearing the Dharma. ○ First, transformation of birds expounding the Dharma. Second, wind and trees expounding the Dharma. Finally, a conclusion. 'Moreover, Shariputra (舍利弗: One of the Buddha's ten principal disciples, known for his wisdom), that land always has various wonderful and colorful' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 鸟。
