2.42

佛告彌勒:「汝豈不憶古昔無數阿僧祇劫,去此西北六十二恒河沙剎,佛名平等,其剎名無形,如今現在說法,無有辟支佛、聲聞乘,無有日、月、時節、劫數多少;彼佛教化盡一佛界,現界眾生盡得成佛,更不移處他佛世界。云何?彌勒!當名彼佛為過去、未來、現在耶?」

The Buddha said to Maitreya, "Do you not remember that in the ancient past, countless asaṃkhyeya kalpas ago, sixty-two Ganges-sands of Buddha-lands away to the northwest of here, there was a Buddha named Samatā, whose land was named Formless, where he is now present and speaking the Dharma, without pratyekabuddha or śrāvaka vehicles, and without sun, moon, seasons, or number of kalpas? That Buddha's teaching and transformation completely encompass a single Buddha-realm, and the sentient beings of his present realm all attain Buddhahood, never moving to another Buddha's world. What do you think, Maitreya? Should that Buddha be named past, future, or present?"
