- **Language:** English

### [203](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.suvarnaprabhasa*bo-d556~en-84000.203)

“Someone who wishes to make an  
Inconceivable offering to all the buddhas,  
And wishes to know the profound  
Field of activity of all the buddhas,  
  
“Should go to the place, whether  
It is a temple or a dwelling,  
Where is taught this⁴⁴² sūtra of  
The Sublime Golden Light.  
  
“This sūtra is inconceivable;  
Its ocean of qualities is endless,  
And it liberates all beings  
From the oceans of many sufferings.⁴⁴³  
  
“I see the beginning of this sūtra  
And also its middle and its conclusion.  
This lord of sūtras is extremely profound.  
There is no analogy that exists for it.  
  
“All of the particles that exist  
In the Ganges and on the earth,  
In the oceans and in the sky,  
Cannot serve as an analogy for it.  
  
“The entrance to the Dharma realm  
Should be entered at that time.  
Jina Śākyamuni should be seen  
In the center of a stūpa,  
  
“Which is the profound, enduring stūpa  
That is the embodiment of the Dharma,  
Teaching this sūtra perfectly  
With a voice that is beautiful.  
  
“May the happiness of⁴⁴⁴ devas  
And of humans be experienced  
For as many countless, innumerable  
Million of eons as there are.  
  
“Whoever listens to this sūtra  
Should think they will accomplish  
My inconceivable accumulation of merit;  
At that time, they should know this to be so.  
  
“Someone should, in order to listen to this sūtra,  
Be able to endure the intense pain  
Of crossing over a hundred-yojana-wide  
Moat filled with a blazing inferno.  
  
“Then, as soon as they enter into  
The temple or the dwelling,  
Their bad karma will be eliminated  
And all the qualities of nightmares,  
  
Harm from planets and lunar asterisms,  
And terrible evil spirits and demons  
Will be entirely driven away  
The moment that they enter there.  
  
“There the Dharmabhāṇaka should make a seat  
That is in the form of a lotus  
Exactly as has been revealed  
By nāga kings in a dream.⁴⁴⁵  
  
“Having sat upon that seat,  
They should teach this sūtra,  
Write it out, and read it out loud,
