太子瑞應本起經 2.2

2.2

「菩薩累劫清淨之行，至儒大慈，道定自然，忍力降魔，鬼兵退散，定意如故。不以智慮，無憂喜想，是日初夜，得一術闍，自知宿命，無數劫來，精神所更，展轉受身，不可稱計，皆識知之。至二夜時，得二術闍，悉知眾生心中所念，善惡殃福，生死所趣。至三夜時，得三術闍，漏盡結解，自知本昔久所習行四神足念：精進定、欲定、意定、戒定，得變化法。所欲如意，不復用思，身能飛行，能分一身，作百作千，至億萬無數，復合為一；能徹入地，石壁皆過，從一方現，俯沒仰出，譬如水波；能身中出水火，履水行虛，身不陷墜；坐臥空中，如鳥飛翔；立能及天，手捫日月；欲身平立，至梵自在；眼能徹視，耳能洞聽，意悉預知，諸天、人、龍、鬼神、蚑行蠕動之類，身行口言心所欲念，悉見聞知。諸有貪婬無貪婬者，有瞋恚無瞋恚者，有愚癡無愚癡者，有愛欲無愛欲者，有大志行無大志行者，有內外行無內外行者，有念善無念善者，有一心無一心者，有解脫意無解脫意者，一切悉知。

"Through the pure practices of repeated kalpas, the bodhisattva attained supreme gentleness and great compassion; his concentration in the Way was natural, and by the power of forbearance he subdued the demons, causing the ghost armies to scatter and retreat, while his concentrated mind remained as before. Untouched by discursive thought, without notions of sorrow or joy, during the first watch of that night he attained the first vidyā, knowing his own former lives, and all that his spirit had passed through during countless kalpas, continually receiving bodies beyond reckoning, he fully recognized and knew them all. When the second watch arrived, he attained the second vidyā, knowing all that was in the minds of living beings, their good and evil, misfortune and fortune, and the destinies to which they were bound in life and death. When the third watch arrived, he attained the third vidyā, the exhaustion of defilements and the untying of fetters, knowing his own past cultivation over a long period of the four bases of spiritual power: the concentration of energy, the concentration of desire, the concentration of mind, and the concentration of contemplation; he obtained the mastery of transformations. Whatever he wished occurred according to his intent without the need for further thought: his body could fly; he could divide his single body into a hundred, a thousand, or up to tens of millions, and merge them again into one; he could penetrate into the earth, passing through stone walls, appearing from one quarter, submerging and emerging as if in waves of water; he could emit water and fire from his body, walk upon water and through empty space without sinking or falling; he could sit and lie in the air like a bird in flight; standing, he could reach up to heaven, touching the sun and moon with his hands; if he wished to stand upright, he could reach the Brahmaloka at will; his eyes could see through everything, his ears could hear all sounds, and his mind foreknew all things; whether devas, humans, nāgas, ghosts, spirits, or crawling and wriggling creatures, their bodily actions, verbal expressions, and mental wishes were all seen, heard, and known by him. All those who possessed greed and lust and those who did not, those who possessed anger and those who did not, those who possessed delusion and those who did not, those who possessed sensual desire and those who did not, those who possessed great aspirations and practices and those who did not, those who possessed internal and external practices and those who did not, those who contemplated the good and those who did not, those who possessed single-mindedness and those who did not, and those who possessed the intention for liberation and those who did not—he knew them all thoroughly.
