菩薩瓔珞本業經 1.5

1.5

At that time, the bodhisattvas in the great assembly were all bound to one last rebirth. Their supernatural powers wondrously penetrated everywhere throughout the ten directions; their dharmakāyas were boundless, guiding and benefiting sentient beings, opening the treasury of the Buddha's Dharma, revealing the wondrous fruit of buddha-nature, and delivering the essential teachings of unconditioned cessation directly into beings' faculties. Instructing and transforming through knowledge of past lives, they entered the boundless by gradual mental stages. They understood the essentials of inner and outer, beginning and end without limit, and viewed all buddha lands equally without distinction. With voices of great compassion they praised the Buddha's name boundlessly and inexhaustibly; there was nothing in the affairs of the six destinies they did not thoroughly penetrate. Wherever they transformed beings, they all arrived and exclaimed: "The Buddha is mindful of us and has established our great resolve, fully showing us all the lands, both good and bad, superior and extraordinary, in the worlds of all buddhas. The Buddha's residences and journeys widely promote and guide conversion; with his radiant light and supernatural powers, he instructs us and illuminates our minds. He expounds for us the essentials of the bodhisattva's original acts and necklace adornments—the ten abodes, ten practices, ten dedications, ten grounds, Stainless Ground, and Ground of Wondrous Enlightenment—cutting off our flaws and all doubt and delusion. He fully manifests for us the buddha lands, buddha bodies, buddha powers, buddha strengths, and buddha samādhis. He lays forth teachings on the immeasurable transformations, the four equanimous minds and fearlessnesses, the faultless three karmas, the three-and-six unshared qualities, and all merits of the unexcelled Dharma of the path, flowing into all the lands of the ten directions." Endless distance to the east, there is the Fragrant Forest land; the buddha's name is Entering Vigour, and the bodhisattva's name is Śraddhāpradāna. Endless distance to the south, there is the Joyous Forest land; the buddha's name is Not Abandoning Joy, and the bodhisattva's name is Bodhipradāna. Endless distance to the west, there is the Flower Forest land; the buddha's name is Practising Vigour, and the bodhisattva's name is Ratnapradāna. Endless distance to the north, there is the Path Forest land; the buddha's name is Action of Vigour, and the bodhisattva's name is Prajñāpradāna. Endless distance to the northeast, there is the Blue Lotus land; the buddha's name is Compassionate Vigour, and the bodhisattva's name is Guṇapradāna. Endless distance to the southeast, there is the Golden Forest land; the buddha's name is Exhaustion of Vigour, and the bodhisattva's name is Netrapradāna. Endless distance to the southwest, there is the Jewel Forest land; the buddha's name is Superior Vigour, and the bodhisattva's name is Prabhāpradāna. Endless distance to the northwest, there is the Vajra land; the buddha's name is One-Vehicle Deliverance, and the bodhisattva's name is Dharmapradāna. Endless distance below, there is the Crystal land; the buddha's name is Great Vigour, and the bodhisattva's name is Jñānapradāna. Endless distance above, there is the Desire Forest land; the buddha's name is Utmost Vigour, and the bodhisattva's name is Bhadrapradāna. In this manner, all the lights of the Dharma flowed forth, pervasive everywhere.
