新華嚴經論 5.16

5.16

如是千佛已次萬佛者，明進修行相故。如〈十行品〉中功德林菩薩，入菩薩善思惟三昧。入是三昧已，十方各過萬佛剎微塵數世界外，有萬佛剎微塵數佛，皆同一號，號曰功德林，而現其前，歎慰功德林。還如前位，因果同故。其佛名號與菩薩名同，還以菩薩為因，佛為果德，二體同故，是故同名。十林菩薩本所來國，皆名為慧。功德林菩薩等十林菩薩，各各與佛剎微塵數菩薩，俱從十萬佛剎微塵數國土外諸世界中來，其國名親慧世界、幢慧世界、寶慧世界。如是十慧世界，本所事佛，所謂常住眼佛、勝眼佛、無住眼佛，如是等十眼佛。

That a thousand buddhas are followed by ten thousand buddhas like this illustrates the characteristics of progressive cultivation. For instance, in the 'Chapter on the Ten Practices', Bodhisattva Guṇavana (Gongdelin) entered the Bodhisattva Good Reflection Samādhi. Having entered this samādhi, beyond worlds as numerous as the dust motes in ten thousand buddha-lands in each of the ten directions, there were buddhas as numerous as the dust motes in ten thousand buddha-lands, all sharing the same single name, called Guṇavana, who manifested before him, praising and comforting Guṇavana. This is just as in the previous stage: because cause and effect are identical, the buddhas' names are identical to the bodhisattva's name, once again taking the bodhisattva as the cause and the buddhas as the fruition's virtue; because the two essences are identical, they therefore share the same name. The countries from which the ten -vana (-lin) bodhisattvas originally came are all named Mati ('Wisdom'). The ten -vana bodhisattvas, such as Bodhisattva Guṇavana, each came with bodhisattvas as numerous as the dust motes in a buddha-land, all arriving from worlds beyond lands as numerous as the dust motes in a hundred thousand buddha-lands; their countries are named the Priyamati World, the Dhvajamati World, and the Ratnamati World. In these ten -mati worlds, the buddhas they originally served are the Buddha Nityasthitanetra, the Buddha Viśiṣṭanetra, and the Buddha Apratiṣṭhitanetra—these ten -netra buddhas.
