Furthermore, not only this: since the light illuminated universally, the shaking must also have been concurrent. Hence the \*Mahāprajñāpāramitā Sūtra\* says: 'This great trichiliocosm shook and mutated in six ways, and from this it successively pervaded the buddha-worlds as numerous as the sands of the Gaṅgā throughout the ten directions, mutating and shaking in six ways by the Buddha's supernatural power.' Determining it by that, the sūtra therefore says 'universal buddha-worlds'. As for 'shook in six ways', there are briefly three meanings: First, regarding the causes of the shaking, the \*Ekottarāgama\* says there are eight causes: 1. It shakes following the rising and falling of the wind-wheel; 2. A bodhisattva's entering the womb and emerging from the womb; 3. Leaving home, attaining the path, and realising perfect awakening; 4. Turning the wheel of Dharma; 5. Entering nirvāṇa; 6. A bhikṣu with supernatural powers having attained mental mastery; 7. Devas reaching the end of their lives and being reborn in superior places; 8. The merit of sentient beings being exhausted and their attacking one another; therefore the earth shakes in all these cases. Shaking has the small and the great: as for small shaking, as the \*Lotus Sūtra\* says: 'And this world shook in six ways.' As for great shaking, Mañjuśrī's verse says: 'All the buddha-lands / Immediately shook with a great shaking.' The tenth fascicle of the \*Dazhidulun\* says: 'If it is a bodhisattva or the like, they shake Jambudvīpa, or shake the four continents, a small, medium, or great trichiliocosm. If it is the Buddha, the World-Honoured One, he shakes an immeasurable \[number of worlds\].' Second, regarding the characteristics of the shaking, as the \*Avataṃsaka\* says: 'Namely, trembling, shaking, leaping, swaying, roaring, and crashing. Beginning gradually is trembling; gradually becoming larger is shaking; going up and down is leaping; going to and fro is swaying; a great sound is roaring; striking against one another is crashing.' The \*Mahāprajñāpāramitā\* says: 'Namely, shaking, welling up, trembling, crashing, roaring, and bursting. Shaking is rocking; welling up is emerging and submerging; trembling has a muffled sound; crashing is striking; roaring is generating noise; bursting is a startling sound.' Each of the above six has three \[aspects\], making eighteen, namely: shaking, shaking everywhere, and shaking universally everywhere, and so forth. A small shaking is called 'shaking'; shaking in all places is called 'shaking everywhere'; a widespread, great overturning and shaking is called 'shaking universally everywhere'. The others are all determined accordingly. This sūtra generally says 'shook in six ways'; the term 'shaking' is broad and encompasses all eighteen. Furthermore, the first chapter of the \*Mahāprajñāpāramitā\* and the thirty-sixth chapter of the \*Avataṃsaka\* both say: 'The east welled up and the west sank down; the west welled up and the east sank down; the south welled up and the north sank down; the north welled up and the south sank down; the middle welled up and the edges sank down; the edges welled up and the middle sank down.' The words 'six ways' in the sūtra may perhaps be determined in accordance with this. Third, regarding the intention behind the shaking, as the twelfth fascicle of the \*Daśabhūmikabhāṣya\* says: 'It is based on four kinds of sentient beings: 1. Unwholesome sentient beings, who do not recognise impermanence and indulge their minds in dissipation; \[the earth shakes\] to cause them to cultivate various wholesome deeds by reason of the earth's shaking. 2. Sentient beings born in the heavens, who put their faith in the present celestial retributions; \[the earth\] is overturned and shaken to cause them to give rise to revulsion and renunciation and to seek the Dharma. 3. Sentient beings with ego-conceit, who constantly give rise to various kinds of ego-conceit like mountains; \[the earth shakes\] to cause them to know impermanence by reason of the earth's shaking. 4. Sentient beings practising incantations, who, being able to shake the earth slightly, immediately become arrogant; \[the earth shakes\] to cause them to know their own inferiority by reason of the great shaking.' Furthermore, as the \*Viśeṣacintibrahmaparipṛcchā-śāstra\* says, there are seven causes: 1. To cause all māras to become frightened; 2. To cause the assembly of the time not to have distracted minds; 3. To cause negligent ones to attain awakening; 4. To cause sentient beings to be mindful of the characteristics of dharmas; 5. To cause sentient beings to observe the place of preaching; 6. To cause matured ones to attain liberation; 7. To cause them to inquire into the correct meaning in accordance \[with the teaching\]. Now, wishing to preach the sūtra to cure inversions and produce understanding, the earth therefore shook. Hereafter follows the second major section, the astonishment and doubt of the great assembly. The text is divided into four: first, the astonishment and doubt of the great assembly. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.163](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1709.1.163) - [Next: 1.165](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1709.1.165) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1709.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1709~en-mt.1.164) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [仁王經疏](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1708.1.187) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1709.1.164](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1709.1.164) · Pramāṇa
