It grows by itself without being planted and doesn’t have any husk or chaff. It looks like a cluster of white flowers, resembling the food of the Trāyastriṃśa Heaven, and it possesses many flavors. > — Charles Patton, The Long Discourses (selected sūtras) > “That land always has natural iron kettles present. They have maṇi gems called Brilliant Light in the bottom, which cook food when the light goes out. It doesn’t require firewood, fire, or troublesome human labor. > — Charles Patton, The Long Discourses (selected sūtras) > “That land has a kind of tree called Bending Over. When men and women stop under them when it rains, their leaves line up such that water doesn’t drip between them. > — Charles Patton, The Long Discourses (selected sūtras) > “Also, there are perfume trees that stand thirty-five kilometers tall with abundant flowers and fruit. When the fruit is ripe, the skin splits open by itself and produces natural perfume. Those trees are sometimes thirty kilometers tall … twenty-five … twenty … as little as 2.5 kilometers tall. Their flowers and fruit are abundant. When the fruit is ripe, the skin splits open by itself to produce natural perfume. > — Charles Patton, The Long Discourses (selected sūtras) - [Previous: 30.37](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas.30.37) - [Next: 30.39](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas.30.39) - [Up: 30](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas.30) ## Translations (2) - [The Long Discourses (selected sūtras)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas~en-patton.30.p132) — Charles Patton, English - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas~en-mt.30.38) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas.30.38](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas.30.38) · Pramāṇa
