彌勒言:「拍手彈指之頃,三十二億百千念,念念成形,形形皆有識,識念極微細不可執持。佛之威神入彼微識皆令得度,此識教化非無識也。復次,微識極微細過於微塵,此微塵識不可覩見,如來威神入彼教化皆令得度。彌勒當知未有狐疑,此微塵識亦受四氣亦有四生。何以故?眾生無邊,邊亦無邊,如來亦無邊,道亦無邊,一切言有,有亦無有,無界、無處、無住,亦無教授化眾生者,此名逆順三昧。不住不不住一相無相,不著不縛亦無真際,修治道場淨佛境界,權變無數非下劣所及。」
Maitreya said, "In the span of clapping the hands or snapping the fingers, there are three billion two hundred million thoughts; thought after thought takes form, and each form has consciousness. The consciousness and thought are extremely subtle and cannot be grasped. The majestic supernatural power of the Buddha enters those subtle consciousnesses and causes them all to attain deliverance; this consciousness is taught and transformed, and is not without consciousness. Furthermore, the subtle consciousness is extremely minute, surpassing even an atom; this atomic consciousness cannot be seen, yet the Tathāgata's majestic supernatural power enters it to teach and transform it, causing all to attain deliverance. Maitreya should know—let there be no doubt—this atomic consciousness also receives the four elements and possesses the four modes of birth. Why is that? Sentient beings are boundless, and boundlessness is also boundless; the Tathāgata is also boundless, and the path is also boundless. When everything is said to exist, existence is also non-existence; there is no realm, no place, no abiding, nor is there anyone who instructs and transforms sentient beings. This is called the direct-and-reverse samādhi. Neither abiding nor not abiding, single mark and markless, unattached and unbound, there is also no reality-limit; cultivating the bodhimanda and purifying the Buddha's realm, the expedient transformations are countless, beyond the reach of the inferior."
