【波毘吠伽】《西域記》：「唐言清辯。靜而思曰：『非慈氏成佛，誰決我疑？』遂於觀音菩薩像前，誦隨心陀羅尼。經涉三年，菩薩現身，謂論師曰：『何所志乎？』對曰：『願留此身，待見慈氏。』菩薩曰：『人命難保，宜修勝善，生覩史天，乃見慈氏。』對曰：『志不可奪也。』菩薩又云：『若其然者，宜往馱那羯磔國，城南山巖，執金剛神所，志誠誦持執金剛陀羅尼者，當遂此願。』論師於是往而誦焉。三載之後，神出問云：『伊何所願？』論師對曰：『願留此身，待見慈氏。』神又謂曰：『此巖石內，有修羅宮。如法行請，石壁當開，開即入中，可以見也。』神又謂曰：『慈氏出世，我當相報矣！』論師受命，專精誦持。又經三載，乃呪芥子，以擊石壁，石壁乃開。論師乃與六人入石壁裏，入已石壁仍復如故。」

[Bhāviveka] The Record of the Western Regions says: "In the language of Tang, it is rendered Qingbian ('Clear Discernment'). Reflecting in quietude, he thought: 'Unless Maitreya becomes a Buddha, who can resolve my doubts?' Thereupon, before an image of the Bodhisattva Avalokiteśvara, he recited the Hṛdaya-dhāraṇī. After three years had passed, the Bodhisattva manifested his physical form and asked the master of treatises: 'What is your aspiration?' He replied: 'I wish to preserve this body and wait to see Maitreya.' The Bodhisattva said: 'Human life is difficult to maintain. You should cultivate supreme goodness and be reborn in the Tuṣita heaven; only then will you see Maitreya.' He replied: 'My aspiration cannot be taken from me.' The Bodhisattva further said: 'If that is so, you should go to the country of Dhānyakaṭaka, to the mountain cliffs south of the city, to the dwelling place of the Vajradhara spirit. If with sincere determination you recite and maintain the Vajradhara-dhāraṇī, you shall achieve this wish.' The treatise master then went there and recited it. After three years, the spirit came forth and asked, 'What is your wish?' The treatise master replied: 'I wish to preserve this body and wait to see Maitreya.' The spirit also told him: 'Inside these craggy rocks there is an asura's palace. If you perform the petition in accordance with the Dharma, the rock wall will open. Once it opens, enter within, and you may see him.' The spirit also said: 'When Maitreya appears in the world, I shall notify you!' Receiving the instruction, the treatise master concentrated single-mindedly on reciting and maintaining it. After another three years had passed, he empowered mustard seeds with mantras to strike the rock wall, whereupon the rock wall opened. The treatise master then entered within the rock wall along with six people. Once they had entered, the rock wall returned to how it was before."
