The Lotus Sūtra 7.10

7.10

時多寶佛告彼菩薩：「善男子！來，文殊師利法王子欲見汝身。」于時妙音菩薩於彼國沒，與八萬四千菩薩俱共發來。所經諸國，六種震動，皆悉雨於七寶蓮華；百千天樂，不鼓自鳴。是菩薩目如廣大青蓮華葉，正使和合百千萬月，其面貌端正復過於此，身真金色，無量百千功德莊嚴，威德熾盛，光明照曜，諸相具足，如那羅延堅固之身。入七寶臺，上昇虛空，去地七多羅樹，諸菩薩眾恭敬圍繞，而來詣此娑婆世界耆闍崛山。到已，下七寶臺，以價直百千瓔珞，持至釋迦牟尼佛所，頭面禮足，奉上瓔珞，而白佛言：「世尊！淨華宿王智佛問訊世尊，少病、少惱，起居輕利，安樂行不？四大調和不？世事可忍不？眾生易度不？無多貪欲、瞋恚、愚癡、嫉妬、慳慢不？無不孝父母、不敬沙門、邪見、不善心、不攝五情不？世尊！眾生能降伏諸魔怨不？久滅度多寶如來在七寶塔中，來聽法不？又問訊多寶如來，安隱、少惱，堪忍久住不？世尊！我今欲見多寶佛身，唯願世尊，示我令見。」

Then Prabhūtaratna Buddha told that bodhisattva: 'Kulaputra! Come, Prince of Dharma Mañjuśrī wishes to see your body.' At that time, Bodhisattva Gadgadasvara vanished from that land and departed together with eighty-four thousand bodhisattvas. The lands they passed through shook in six ways, and seven-jeweled lotuses rained everywhere; hundreds of thousands of heavenly instruments sounded on their own without being struck. This bodhisattva's eyes were like broad blue lotus petals, and even if a hundred thousand myriad moons were brought together, the upright beauty of his face would still surpass them; his body was of genuine golden color, adorned with immeasurable hundreds of thousands of merits, ablaze with awe-inspiring virtue, brilliantly radiant, and completely endowed with the marks, like the firm body of Nārāyaṇa. Entering a tower of seven jewels, he ascended into the sky to a height of seven tāla trees above the ground, and surrounded respectfully by the assembly of bodhisattvas, came to Gṛdhrakūṭa in this Sahā world. Having arrived, he descended from the tower of seven jewels, took necklaces worth hundreds of thousands, and went to Śākyamuni Buddha's presence. Touching his head and face to the feet in obeisance, he presented the necklaces and said to the Buddha: 'Bhagavat! The Buddha Jaladharagarjitaghoṣasusvaranakṣatrarāhasaṃkusumitābhijña inquires after the Bhagavat: Are you free from illness, free from vexation, light and nimble in your daily activities, and walking in ease? Are the four great elements in harmony? Are worldly affairs endurable? Are sentient beings easy to deliver? Are they free from abundant greed, anger, ignorance, jealousy, stinginess, and arrogance? Are they free from filial impiety to parents, disrespect for śramaṇas, false views, evil minds, and failure to restrain the five senses? Bhagavat! Can sentient beings subdue the māra enemies? Does Prabhūtaratna Tathāgata, long since extinguished, inside the seven-jeweled stūpa, come to hear the Dharma?' He also inquired after Prabhūtaratna Tathāgata: 'Are you at peace, with few vexations, and able to endure abiding for long? Bhagavat! I now wish to see the body of Prabhūtaratna Buddha. I only pray that the Bhagavat will show it to me so that I may see it.'
