法苑珠林 32.8

32.8

如華嚴經云。佛子。如一如來一化身轉。如是等不可說譬喻法輪雲。一切法界虛空界等世界。悉以毛端周遍度量。一一毛端處。於念念中化不可說不可說佛剎微塵等身。乃至盡未來際劫。一一化佛身有不可說不可說佛剎微塵等頭。一一頭有不可說不可說佛剎微塵等舌。一一舌出不可說不可說佛剎微塵等音聲。一一音聲說不可說不可說佛剎微塵等修多羅。一一修多羅說不可說不可說。佛剎微塵等法。一一法中說不可說不可說佛剎微塵等句身味身。復不可說不可說佛剎微塵等劫說異句身味身音聲充滿法界。一切眾生無不聞者。盡未來際常轉法輪。如來音聲無異無斷不可窮盡。是為一切諸佛大力那羅延幢佛所住法。

As the Avataṃsaka-sūtra says: 'Sons of the Buddha, just as one Tathāgata's single transformation body turns such ineffable clouds of the wheel of the Dharma of analogies, measuring all worlds such as the entire realm of phenomena and space with the tip of a hair, in each place of a hair-tip, in thought after thought, he manifests bodies equal to the dust motes of ineffable-ineffable Buddha-lands, and so on until the kalpas at the end of the future; each transformation Buddha-body has heads equal to the dust motes of ineffable-ineffable Buddha-lands; each head has tongues equal to the dust motes of ineffable-ineffable Buddha-lands; each tongue emits sounds equal to the dust motes of ineffable-ineffable Buddha-lands; each sound expounds sūtras equal to the dust motes of ineffable-ineffable Buddha-lands; each sūtra expounds teachings equal to the dust motes of ineffable-ineffable Buddha-lands; in each teaching, he expounds collection of phrases and collection of syllables equal to the dust motes of ineffable-ineffable Buddha-lands; and further, for ineffable-ineffable kalpas equal to the dust motes of Buddha-lands, he expounds distinct collections of phrases and syllables, the sounds filling the realm of phenomena, so that among all sentient beings there is none who does not hear them, constantly turning the wheel of the Dharma unto the ends of the future. The Tathāgata's voice is undifferentiated, uninterrupted, and inexhaustible. This is the Dharma in which dwells the Buddha of the Great Strength Nārāyaṇa Banner of all Buddhas.'
