注維摩詰經 8.147

8.147

時化菩薩即於會前昇于上方，舉眾皆見其去到眾香界，禮彼佛足。又聞其言：維摩詰稽首世尊足下，致敬無量。問訊起居，少病少惱、氣力安不。願得世尊所食之餘，欲於娑婆世界施作佛事，使此樂小法者得弘大道，亦使如來名聲普聞。彼諸大士見化菩薩，歎未曾有：今此上人從何所來？娑婆世界為在何許？云何名為樂小法者？即以問佛。

Then the illusory bodhisattva immediately ascended upward before the assembly. The entire gathering saw him go until he reached the All-Fragrances realm and paid homage at the feet of that buddha. They also heard his words: "Vimalakīrti bows his head at the feet of the World-Honoured One, paying boundless reverence. He inquires after your daily well-being: are your illnesses few, your vexations few, and your physical strength comfortable? He wishes to obtain the remnants of what the World-Honoured One has eaten, desiring to perform buddha-work in the saha-world, to cause those who delight in lesser dharmas to be able to propagate the Great Way, and also to cause the fame of the Tathāgata to be universally heard." Those mahāsattvas, seeing the illusory bodhisattva, praised it as unprecedented: "From where has this superior person come? Where is the saha-world? What is meant by 'those who delight in lesser dharmas'?" They immediately questioned their buddha.
