劫盡燒時一切皆空,眾生福德因緣力故十方風至,風風相次能持大水,水上有一千頭人二千手足名為違細。是人䐡中生千葉金色蓮華,其光大明如萬日俱照,華中有人結加趺坐。此人復有無量光明,名為梵天王。心生八子,八子生天地人民。是梵天王於諸婬瞋已盡無餘。以是故言:「若有人修禪淨行斷除婬欲,名為行梵道,佛轉法輪或名梵輪。」是梵天王坐蓮花上,是故諸佛隨世俗故,於寶蓮花上結加趺坐,說六波羅蜜,聞此法者必至阿耨多羅三藐三菩提。
When the kalpa ends in fire, everything is completely empty. Through the force of the causes and conditions of sentient beings’ merit, winds from the ten directions arrive; wind upon wind successively supports the great water. Above the water there is a being with one thousand heads and two thousand hands and feet, named Weixi. From this person’s navel grows a golden lotus flower with one thousand petals, its light intensely bright, like ten thousand suns shining together. Inside the flower there is a person seated cross-legged. This person also possesses immeasurable radiance and is named the Brahma King. His mind generated eight sons, and the eight sons gave birth to heaven, earth, and human beings. This Brahma King has completely exhausted all lust and anger without remainder. For this reason it is said: “If a person cultivates dhyāna and pure conduct, cutting off sexual desire, this is called practicing the Brahma way; when the Buddha turns the wheel of the Dharma, it is sometimes called the Brahma wheel.” This Brahma King sits upon a lotus flower; therefore, the Buddhas, conforming to worldly convention, sit cross-legged upon precious lotus flowers and preach the six pāramitās. Those who hear this Dharma are certain to reach anuttarā samyaksaṃbodhi.
