The Mahāsūtra “On Entering the City of Vaiśālī” 8

Language
English

8

With all its forests shook and trembled,
Brought joy for every living creature—
He will bring you well-being.

“He who caused, on the seat of awakening,
The earth to quake in all six ways
And Māra to feel despair—
He will bring you well-being.

“He who, turning the wheel of the Dharma,
Pronounced the Truths of the Noble Ones
And was extolled as a sage, the Muni—
He will bring you well-being.

“The alluring one who defeated
All the extremists with the Dharma
And brought all assemblies⁵³ under his influence—
He will bring you well-being.

“May the Buddha bring you well-being;
May Śakra and the gods bestow well-being;
And may well-being from the bhūtas, too,
Be provided to you always.

“By the Buddha’s merit and power
And the wishes of the gods,
May whatever goal you seek
This very day be accomplished.

“Two-legged beings, be well.
Four-legged beings, be well.
When you set out, be well;
And when you return, be well.

“Be well in the daytime; be well in the night;
Be well at midday, too.
May all of you be always well;
May all of you know no evil.

“Surrounded by a thousand gods,
The Buddha has arrived—
So, you with hateful thoughts, disperse!
And you whose nature is compassion, stay.

“By the power of the true words of the buddhas,
Pratyekabuddhas, arhats, and those being trained,
Those who do harm to the world
Should be gone from this city.⁵⁴

“All sentient beings, all living creatures,
All bhūtas, and every one of you—
May you have nothing but happiness.
May you all be free from illness.
May you all see what is good.
May all of you know no evil.⁵⁵

“May whatever bhūtas are assembled here,
All those who live upon the earth or in the sky,
Act always lovingly for human beings
