14.10

Bodhisattva mahāsattvas who possess miraculous powers experience a range of different kinds of miracles: they transform from one to many, from many to one, and from visible to invisible; they pass without impediment through house walls, through city walls, and through mountains; they travel through the air just like a bird; they dive into the ground and emerge from it, just as they would in water; they stand on water just like they would on the ground; they give off smoke and flames, just like a great blaze of fire; their bodies emit many thousands of trillions of great torrents of water, just like a great cloud that can extinguish the great fire of a thousand-billion world universe being on fire;¹³⁷¹ they grasp in their hands and polish the moon and the sun, which are so miraculous, powerful, and majestic; and just as they wish, their bodies have power over beings, as far up as those in Brahmā’s realm.”

Thereupon the Bhagavān recited these verses:¹³⁷²

“They dive into the earth and reemerge,
They walk unimpeded on water,
They travel through the air like a bird,
And they miraculously emit smoke and flames.¹³⁷³ {47}

“Just as the wind is unimpeded by space,
And a multitude of clouds move through it,
In that way the yogins fly through the air,
Unimpeded like the wind and the clouds. {48}

“The skilled bodhisattvas, on seeing
Realms burning in a blazing inferno,
Emit water from their bodies,
Extinguishing the fire of millions of realms. {i}¹³⁷⁴

“The skilled bodhisattvas, while seated,
Grasp the sun and moon in their hands.
Seated, they know the realm of Brahmā
And teach the Dharma to millions of Brahmās.¹³⁷⁵ {49}
