大方廣佛華嚴經願行觀門骨目 2.31

2.31

（卷五十二，品同）普賢云：「如大海水，皆從龍王心念所起。如來亦爾，一切智海皆從大願之所起也。又南洲二千五百河、西洲五千河、東洲七千五百河、北洲一萬河，其水多不？」答言：「甚多。」普賢言：「復有八十億諸大龍王，一一展轉，其水倍倍於前，皆流入海。又娑竭太子宮殿中水出，復倍於前。娑竭龍王宮中水涌出入海，復倍於前。其水紺琉璃色，涌出有時，是故大海潮不失時。如來智海復過於是。譬如金翅鳥王飛行虛空，以清淨眼觀察海內諸龍宮殿，以左右翅鼓揚海水悉令兩闢，知龍男女命將盡者而搏取之。如來亦爾，知諸眾生根已熟者，以止觀翅鼓生死海而撮取之。」乃至文中一一廣釋，皆云云何知應正等覺音聲、心意識、境界行、成正覺、轉法輪、般涅槃、見聞親近所種善根（如初）。於十方界現大神通，十方各八十億佛剎微塵同名諸佛同說此法等，皆遮那本願之力。

(Fascicle 52, same chapter) Samantabhadra said: "Just as the water of the great ocean all arises from the mental thoughts of the dragon king, the Tathāgata is also like this: the ocean of all-knowledge all arises from great vows. Furthermore, in the southern continent there are 2,500 rivers, in the western continent 5,000 rivers, in the eastern continent 7,500 rivers, and in the northern continent 10,000 rivers; is their water plentiful or not?" The reply was: "Extremely plentiful." Samantabhadra said: "There are further eighty billion great dragon kings, each sequentially having water doubling and redoubling that of the former, all flowing into the ocean. Furthermore, the water issuing from the palace of Prince Sāgara doubles again that of the former. The water welling up from the palace of the dragon king Sāgara into the ocean doubles again that of the former. Its water is deep azure lapis lazuli in colour, and its welling up has its seasons; therefore, the tide of the great ocean does not miss its proper time. The Tathāgata's ocean of wisdom surpasses even this. For example, just as the king of garuḍa birds flies in empty space, observes the palaces of the dragons within the ocean with pure eyes, and flaps its left and right wings to stir the ocean waters and make them part completely, knowing which male and female dragons have lifespans about to end and seizing them; the Tathāgata is also like this: knowing those sentient beings whose faculties are already mature, with the wings of calming and contemplation he stirs the ocean of saṃsāra and gathers them up." Down to where each and every point is broadly explained in the text, all stating: how to know the voice, mind, thought, consciousness, realm and practice, attainment of sambodhi, turning of the Dharma wheel, entry into parinirvāṇa, and the good roots planted through seeing, hearing, and drawing near to the Arhat Samyaksambuddha (as at first). Manifesting great supernatural powers in the realms of the ten directions, where in the ten directions buddhas of the same name as numerous as the dust motes of eighty billion buddha-lands each expound this Dharma together, and so forth, are all the power of Vairocana's original vows.
