2.53

此云何不思議?彼種種事,或一寶十寶百寶無量寶,隨心稱意莊嚴具足。此莊嚴事如淨明鏡,十方國土淨穢諸相善惡業緣一切悉現,彼中人天見斯事故,探湯不及之情自然成就。亦如諸大菩薩以照法性等寶為冠,此寶冠中皆見諸佛。又了達一切諸法之性。又如佛說《法華經》時,放眉間光照于東方萬八千土皆如金色,從阿鼻獄上至有頂諸世界中六道眾生,生死所趣善惡業緣、受報好醜於此悉見。蓋斯類也。此影為佛事,安可思議?

How is this inconceivable? Those various things, whether made of one jewel, ten jewels, a hundred jewels, or immeasurable jewels, are fully adorned according to one's mind and desire. These adorned things are like pure, bright mirrors: all the pure and defiled aspects, as well as the good and bad karmic causes and conditions of the lands of the ten directions, completely appear therein. Because the humans and devas therein see these matters, the feeling of avoiding danger like pulling back one's hand before touching boiling water is naturally accomplished. It is also like the great bodhisattvas who wear crowns made of jewels that illuminate the Dharma-nature and other qualities: within these jewel crowns, all Buddhas are seen, and they also thoroughly comprehend the nature of all phenomena. It is also like when the Buddha preached the Lotus Sūtra, he emitted a light from between his eyebrows that illuminated eighteen thousand lands in the east, all turning golden; from the Avīci hell up to Akaniṣṭha, the sentient beings of the six destinies within those worlds, their destinations in birth and death, their good and bad karmic causes and conditions, and their resulting beautiful and ugly retributions were all seen therein. It is indeed of this kind. That these reflections perform the work of a Buddha—how could it be conceivable?
