2.44

（卷六十一）爾時普賢菩薩普觀眾會，以等法界方便、等虛空界方便、等眾生界方便、等一切法光影方便，為諸菩薩以十種法句說此師子頻申三昧，廣明依正自在勝用。爾時如來欲令諸菩薩安住此三昧，眉間白毫放大光明，名普照三世法界門，普照十方一切世界諸佛國土。廣明如來神用竟，乃云：「文殊承佛神力，欲重宣此逝多林中諸神變事。」而說偈言：「汝應觀此逝多林，以佛威神廣無際，一切莊嚴皆示現，十方法界悉充滿」等二十六行頌，頌前所見。時諸菩薩以佛三昧光明照故，即時得入如是三昧，得不可說大悲門，廣於十方而作佛事調伏眾生。爾時文殊從善住閣出，種種供養佛已，辭退南行，往於人間。爾時尊者舍利弗承佛神力，見文殊師利與諸菩薩出逝多林人間遊行，作如是念：「我今當與共往南方。」時舍利弗與六千比丘出自住處，來詣佛所，具白世尊。世尊許已，右繞而出，往文殊所。此六千比丘，是舍利弗自所同住，出家未久，所謂海覺比丘、善生、福光、電生、淨行、天德等（竝非小乘所列）。此等六千，悉曾供養無量諸佛、深植善根、解力廣大、信眼明徹、其心寬博，觀佛境界，了法本性、饒益眾生，常樂勤求諸佛功德，皆是文殊說法教化。舍利弗令諸比丘觀文殊師利清淨身相及眾會具足等。諸比丘聞，心意清淨、信解堅固，舉身踊躍，憂苦悉除，具菩薩根，得菩薩力入深境界。白言：「大師將引我等往勝人所。」時舍利弗將至文殊所已，白言：「此諸比丘願得奉覲。」諸比丘白文殊言：「願我悉得仁者所得。」文殊以十事勸之，令行菩提道。諸比丘聞，即得無礙眼三昧，見一切佛境界，悉見諸佛種種依正，知十方世界眾生前後十生，憶彼界中過未十劫，念彼如來十本生事，成道、轉法輪、神變、說法各有十種，又即成就十千三昧。文殊乃勸諸比丘住普賢行（故知所得未入普賢行）。

(Fascicle 61) At that time, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva universally observed the great assembly, and by means of the expedient equal to the dharmadhātu, the expedient equal to the realm of space, the expedient equal to the realm of sentient beings, and the expedient of the light and shadow of all phenomena, expounded this Lion Sprinting Samādhi for the bodhisattvas using ten dharmic phrases, extensively elucidating the sovereign, supreme functions of the dependent and primary [retributions]. At that time, the Tathāgata, wishing to cause the bodhisattvas to abide securely in this samādhi, emitted a great light from the white ūrṇā between his eyebrows, named 'the gate of the dharmadhātu universally illuminating the three periods of time,' which universally illuminated all the worlds and buddha-lands of the ten directions. Having extensively clarified the Tathāgata's supernatural functions, [the text] then says: 'Mañjuśrī, receiving the Buddha's supernatural power, wished to restate the various supernatural transformations in this Jeta Grove,' and spoke the verses: 'You should contemplate this Jeta Grove, / which through the Buddha's awe-inspiring power is vast and boundless; / all adornments are completely manifested, / and it fully pervades the dharmadhātu of the ten directions,' comprising twenty-six stanzas that praise what had been seen before. At that time, because the bodhisattvas were illuminated by the light of the Buddha's samādhi, they immediately attained entry into such a samādhi and attained the ineffable gate of great compassion, extensively carrying out Buddha-works in the ten directions to tame sentient beings. At that time, Mañjuśrī emerged from the Good Abiding Pavilion, and having made various offerings to the Buddha, took his leave and travelled south, going among mortals. At that time, the Venerable Śāriputra, receiving the Buddha's supernatural power, saw Mañjuśrī with the bodhisattvas leaving the Jeta Grove to wander among mortals, and had this thought: 'I should now go together with him to the south.' Then Śāriputra, together with six thousand monks, came out from their dwelling, went to the Buddha's presence, and fully addressed the World-Honoured One. After the World-Honoured One gave his permission, they circumambulated him to the right and departed, heading to Mañjuśrī's location. These six thousand monks were those who lived together with Śāriputra himself, who had not been ordained long—namely, the monk Sāgarabuddhi, Kalyāṇajāta, Puṇyaprabha, Vidyutprabha, Śuddhacārin, Devavīrya, and so forth (all of whom are not among those listed in the Hīnayāna). All of these six thousand had formerly made offerings to countless buddhas, deeply planted roots of goodness, possessed vast power of understanding, had clear and penetrating eyes of faith, had broad and expansive minds, contemplated the realm of the buddhas, understood the original nature of phenomena, benefited sentient beings, and constantly took delight in diligently seeking the virtues of the buddhas; they had all been taught and transformed through Mañjuśrī's expounding of the Dharma. Śāriputra caused the monks to contemplate the pure physical marks of Mañjuśrī and the full assembly, and so forth. Hearing this, the monks' minds became pure, their faith and understanding firm, their whole bodies leaped with joy, their grief and suffering were entirely eliminated, they were endowed with the faculties of bodhisattvas, and having obtained the power of bodhisattvas, they entered into the profound realm. They said: 'May the Great Teacher lead us to that supreme person.' When Śāriputra had led them to Mañjuśrī's location, he said: 'These monks wish to be able to pay homage.' The monks addressed Mañjuśrī, saying: 'We wish to fully attain what you, benevolent one, have attained.' Mañjuśrī admonished them with ten matters, causing them to practice the path of bodhi. Hearing this, the monks immediately attained the samādhi of the unhindered eye, saw the realm of all buddhas, fully saw the various dependent and primary [retributions] of all buddhas, knew the previous and subsequent ten lifetimes of sentient beings in the worlds of the ten directions, remembered the past and future ten kalpas in those realms, recollected the ten past-life affairs of those Tathāgatas, with their attainment of the Way, turning of the Dharma-wheel, supernatural transformations, and preaching of the Dharma each having ten types, and furthermore, they immediately accomplished ten thousand samādhis. Mañjuśrī then admonished the monks to abide in the practices of Samantabhadra (hence we know that what they had attained had not yet entered the practices of Samantabhadra).
