3.40

Regarding the first [section], the scattering of flowers, there are four [parts]: First, scattering hundreds of myriads of koṭis of practice-flowers refers to the flowers of the thirty states of mind prior to the bhūmis. Second, further scattering eighty-four thousand prajñāpāramitā flowers refers to the flowers of the ten bhūmis from the first bhūmi downwards. Third, further scattering the flowers of marvelous enlightenment refers to the flowers of the Buddha-bhūmi. Fourth, the devas and humans scatter heavenly flowers. Regarding the aforementioned practice-flowers of the thirty states of mind, there are four [points]: First, it explains that the sixteen kings, hearing the above explanation of prajñā, rejoiced and immediately scattered hundreds of myriads of koṭis of practice-flowers. Second, the flowers transformed in the sky into a single seat, where the buddhas of the ten directions sat together on that single seat and preached prajñā. Third, the immeasurable great assembly sat together on a single seat, holding golden net flowers and scattering them over Śākyamuni. Fourth, the golden net flowers transformed into myriad-wheel flowers and covered the great assembly.
