7.5
爾時淨華宿王智佛告妙音菩薩:「汝往,莫輕彼國生下劣想。善男子!彼娑婆世界高下不平,土石諸山穢惡充滿,佛身卑小,諸菩薩眾其形亦小,而汝身四萬二千由旬,我身六百八十萬由旬,汝身第一端正,百千萬福光明殊妙,是故汝往莫輕彼國,若佛菩薩及國土生下劣想。」
At that time, the Buddha Kamaladalavimalanakṣatrarājasaṃkusumitābhijña said to Bodhisattva Gadgadasvara: "When you go, do not look down on that land or conceive inferior thoughts. Good man, that Sahāloka is uneven, full of dirt, stones, mountains, and foul impurities; the Buddha's body is humble and small, and the host of bodhisattvas are also small in stature. Yet your body is forty-two thousand yojanas, and my body is six million eight hundred thousand yojanas; your body is foremost in handsome form, exceptionally wondrous in the radiance of hundreds of thousands of myriads of blessings. Therefore, when you go, do not look down on that land, nor conceive inferior thoughts regarding the Buddha, the bodhisattvas, or the land."
