1.24

'At that time, Candrasūryapradīpa Buddha preached the Mahāyāna sūtra named Immeasurable Meanings, a teaching for bodhisattvas, watched over and kept in mind by the Buddhas. Having preached this sūtra, he sat cross-legged amidst the great assembly and entered the samādhi of the station of immeasurable meanings, his body and mind motionless. At that time, the heavens rained down māndārava flowers, mahāmāndārava flowers, mañjūṣaka flowers, and mahāmañjūṣaka flowers, scattering them over the Buddha and the great assembly. The universal Buddha realm quaked in six ways. At that time, in the assembly, the bhikṣus, bhikṣuṇīs, upāsakas, upāsikās, devas, nāgas, yakṣas, gandharvas, asuras, garuḍas, kinnaras, mahoragas, humans, non-humans, petty kings, wheel-turning sage kings, and others—all these masses of the great assembly attained what they never had before, and joyfully joining their palms, they single-mindedly gazed upon the Buddha.
