The Long Āgama Sūtra 17.15

17.15

「周那！我出家久，名聞廣遠，我諸比丘已受教誡，到安隱處，自獲己利，復能受法為人說法，有異論起能如法滅，變化具足成神通證，諸比丘、比丘尼、優婆塞、優婆夷皆亦如是。周那！我以廣流布梵行，——乃至變化具足成神通證。周那！一切世間所有導師，不見有得名聞利養如我如來、至真、等正覺者也。周那！諸世間所有徒眾，不見有名聞利養如我眾也。周那！若欲正說者，當言見不可見。云何見不可見？一切梵行清淨具足，宣示布現，是名見不可見。」

“Cunda, I left home long ago, and my fame is widespread. My monks have received my instruction, reached a state of peace, obtained their own reward, and can accept and explain the teaching for other people. When different interpretations arise, they can eliminate them according to the teaching. They transform themselves and fully realize miraculous abilities. The monks, nuns, laymen, and laywomen are the same.

“Cunda, I’ve widely promulgated the religious practice in each way … transforming myself and fully realizing miraculous abilities. Cunda, of all the teachers in the world, I don’t see any of them who have attained fame and offerings like myself, the Tathāgata, Arhat, and Completely Awakening One.

“Cunda, of the followers in the world, I don’t see any with fame and offerings like my assembly.

“Cunda, to tell the truth, I should say that I see what can’t be seen. How do I see what can’t be seen? All whose religious practice is pure, complete, plainly explained, and widely known are said to see what can’t be seen.”
