How exceedingly extraordinary! > Subhūti wished to let all living beings attain radiance: > Eighteen thousand lands, > Every single land turns golden in colour. > The four forms of birth and six destinies in a single beam of light; > Yet the madman still asks Maitreya. > I too, in years past, studied emptiness and tranquility; > Once gaining no-mind, I at once rested. > Today, hearing in person the recitation of this sūtra, > Only now do I realize that the donkey-cart vehicle is not authentic. > I too, in years past, did not step outside my door, > Not wishing the red dust to stain my footsteps. > Today, hearing in person the recitation of this sūtra, > Only now do I realize that every step is a jewel place. > I too, in years past, loved chanting and reciting poetry, > Thinking that searching for subtle phrases would disturb seated meditation. > Today, hearing in person the recitation of this sūtra, > What harm do brush and inkstone do to nourishing one's true nature? > I too, in years past, indulged in childish games, > Thinking that half my time had been wasted in vain. > Today, hearing in person the recitation of this sūtra, > Only now do I realize that gathering sand is no small matter. > I formerly roamed the mountains and waters, > Thinking other mountains were not my native home. > Today, hearing in person the recitation of this sūtra, > Only now do I realize that mountains and rivers have not an inch of separate ground. > Formerly, when the monkey of my mind was not yet subdued, > I often bound it in vain with golden fetters. > Today, hearing in person the recitation of this sūtra, > Only now do I realize that no thing can be clung to. > The master recites this sūtra word by word, > Each word thoroughly chewing the taste of sarpirmaṇḍa. > The taste of sarpirmaṇḍa is precious and exquisite; > It is not on the lips, nor on the teeth, > It is only within the square-inch heart of this toiling life. > The master recites this sūtra phrase by phrase, > With each phrase the white ox personally takes its step. > The steps of the white ox are swift as the wind; > They are not in the west, nor in the east, > They are only within the daily life of fleeting existence. > Ignorant of its daily use, what great suffering! > Intestines of wine, viscera of rice— > The elder raises his voice calling out, yet they do not turn back; > How are they different from the deaf, how different from the blind? > The ears of worldly people are not lacking in acuity, > Yet with acute ears they are particularly deaf to the sūtra. > The eyes of worldly people are not lacking in sight, > Yet with clear sight they are particularly blind to the sūtra. > Those who should listen lack acuity; those who should see lack sight; > Moving up and down like a well-pulley, dying in vain and living for nothing. > Even if worldly people recognize the master's voice, > Who can recognize the master's mind? > Even if worldly people recognize the master's form, > Who can recognize the master's name? > The master is named King of Healers, executing the Buddha's command, > Coming to cure the mental ailments of sentient beings: > Able to awaken the deluded, calm the deranged, > Purify the defiled, correct the heterodox, > And make the ordinary into the holy. > As such, not only do devas pay respect and humans pay respect, > Dragons should also sing praises, > Ghosts sing praises, and Buddhas sing praises. > How could those who turn their backs on awakening to merge with dust > Fail to bow their heads and take refuge in life? > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 10.28](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2023.10.28) - [Next: 10.30](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2023.10.30) - [Up: 10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2023.10) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2023~en-mt.10.29) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2023.10.29](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2023.10.29) · Pramāṇa
