### [16.42](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.16.42)

諸佛常居清淨剎　受用報體量無窮  
凡夫肉眼未曾識　為現千尺一金軀  
眾生視之無厭足　令知業果現閻浮  
但能聽經勤誦法　逍遙定往兜率宮  
三塗於茲必永絕　將來同證一法身  
故我頂禮彌勒佛　唯願慈尊度有情

> The Buddhas constantly dwell in pure lands,  
> Their enjoyment-reward bodies being immeasurable in scale.  
> Ordinary mortals with physical eyes have never known them;  
> For their sake he manifests a single golden form of a thousand cubits.  
> Sentient beings look upon it without sating,  
> Causing them to understand karmic fruit manifested in Jambudvīpa.  
> If one can only hear the sūtras and diligently recite the Dharma,  
> One will serenely and surely go to the Tuṣita Palace.  
> The three bad destinies will hereby be eternally severed,  
> And in the future one will together realize the single dharmakāya.  
> Therefore I bow my head to Maitreya Buddha;  
> I only pray the Compassionate Honoured One will deliver sentient beings.
