菩薩瓔珞本業經 1.10

1.10

爾時他方敬首菩薩，以佛神力故，復以大眾皆是龍王、師子王、二十八天王，眾皆大根大行，受佛神通力故發小問，問佛：「大師！本何修行成佛聖道，身口意淨金剛不壞，一切眾生不得其過，內性明照常住不滅。過一切菩薩之上，出生端正色相無比，圓極自然無為清淨，二種常身度人無量。現六道中常為釋梵所敬，除闇昧如燭火、明天地如日月、度天人如船師，竪過三界為妙覺尊。欲成斯道當如何行？一切賢聖名字何等？」

At that time, Bodhisattva Śraddhāpradāna from another realm, through the Buddha's supernatural power, and because the great assembly consisted entirely of dragon kings, lion kings, and the twenty-eight deva kings—the multitude being of great faculties and great practices—received the Buddha's supernatural power and asked a humble question, addressing the Buddha: "Great Master! Through what practice did you originally accomplish the Buddha's noble path, so that your body, speech, and mind are pure and indestructible like vajra, no sentient beings can find any fault in you, your inner nature brightly illuminates and is permanently abiding without perishing, you surpass all bodhisattvas, produce peerless upright physical marks, are utterly natural, unconditioned and pure, and deliver immeasurable beings through the two kinds of eternal bodies? You manifest in the six destinies and are constantly revered by Śakra and Brahmā; you dispel darkness like a torch, illuminate heaven and earth like the sun and moon, ferry across devas and humans like a ferryman, and vertically transcend the three realms as the Honoured One of Wondrous Enlightenment. If one wishes to accomplish this path, how should one practise? What are the names of all the worthy and noble ones?"
