菩薩從兜術天降神母胎說廣普經 2.3

2.3

爾時，世尊將欲入無餘涅槃界，集諸神通大德菩薩，神足變化說不思議法。「今我寧可化作七寶樹，度此長流永在生死沒溺者，令得解脫。」即入琉璃定無形三昧，東方去此忍界六十四億恒河沙剎，化作七寶樹遍滿其中，諸寶樹上莖、節、柯、枝、葉、果實，各各有七寶宮殿，宮殿有佛，諸佛各說四非常法。後園浴池眾鳥聚集，娛樂其中快樂難勝。其池水中生優鉢蓮華、須乾提花、末乾提花；於彼陸地生瞻蔔花、須曼羅花，牛頭栴檀、搗香、末香，天繒、幡蓋、懸處虛空。爾時，風神王名曰隨意，放大香風吹七寶樹葉，柔軟香熏枝葉相掁，皆出自然八種音響。「善哉！出大光明，如來八種音聲，將欲度未度者。誰現是瑞應，昔我不聞此亦復不現覩見，起滅無常相，將非幻化耶？」爾時樹葉上七寶宮殿中，諸如來、至真、等正覺發大音聲闡揚不思議難有之法，欲說八地中莊嚴諸佛剎。「猶如有人欲覩大海水，去海百由旬不見諸生木，遇見澇水甞之知海尚遠；即自辦入海之具，不見形相念定如空始至海岸，以無畏心自莊嚴身。『善哉！大聖！我所求者今乃獲之。』欣之樂之心無疲惓，即時捨所資生盡入海中，隨本所願皆悉在前。菩薩摩訶薩亦復如是，能斷一住至六住地，盡眾生結使永盡無餘。『今我成佛必然不疑。』是謂菩薩摩訶薩於胎中莊嚴佛樹。

At that time, the Bhagavat, about to enter the realm of parinirvāṇa without remainder, assembled the bodhisattvas of great supernormal powers and virtue, and by supernormal transformations preached the inconceivable Dharma: "Now, may I not conjure up seven-jeweled trees to deliver those who are submerged in the long flow of birth and death forever, causing them to attain liberation?" He then entered the formless samādhi of vaidūrya absorption, and to the east, sixty-four billion Ganges-sands of lands away from this Sahā World, conjured up seven-jeweled trees filling them entirely. On each of these jeweled trees—trunks, nodes, branches, boughs, leaves, and fruits—there were each seven-jeweled palaces. In the palaces were buddhas, and each buddha preached the four impermanent dharmas. In the rear gardens and bathing ponds, flocks of birds gathered, sporting therein with pleasure hard to surpass. In the waters of the ponds grew utpala lotuses, sugandhika flowers, and magandhika flowers; on the dry land grew campaka flowers, sumanā flowers, ox-head sandalwood, pounded incense, powdered incense, and divine silks, banners, and canopies hung suspended in the empty sky. At that time, the king of the wind spirits, named "According to Will", released a great fragrant wind that blew upon the leaves of the seven-jeweled trees. Pliant and fragrant, the branches and leaves clashed against one another, all spontaneously emitting eight kinds of sounds: "Excellent! Emitting great light, the Tathāgata's eight kinds of voices are about to deliver those not yet delivered. Who has manifested this auspicious sign? Formerly I did not hear this, nor did I see this; the characteristics of arising and ceasing are impermanent—could this be anything other than an illusion?" At that time, from within the seven-jeweled palaces upon the tree leaves, all the Tathāgatas, Arhats, and Samyaksambuddhas produced great voices, expounding the inconceivable and rarely encountered Dharma, intending to expound the adornment of all buddha-lands in the eighth ground: "Just as a person wishing to view the waters of the great ocean, being a hundred yojanas away from the ocean, sees no living trees, and upon encountering floodwaters tastes them and knows the ocean is still far away; he immediately prepares the equipment to enter the ocean, and seeing no forms, his mindful absorption is like space, and only then reaches the ocean shore, adorning his own person with a fearless mind: 'Excellent, O Great Sage! What I sought, I have now obtained.' Rejoicing and delighting in it, his mind knows no fatigue, and he immediately renounces all his provisions and enters entirely into the ocean, all appearing before him in accordance with his original vow. The bodhisattva-mahāsattva is also like this: able to sever [defilements] from the first stage to the sixth stage, exhausting the fetters of sentient beings forever without remainder, [he thinks:] 'That I shall now become a buddha is certain beyond doubt.' This is called the bodhisattva-mahāsattva adorning the buddha-tree within the womb."
