菩薩從兜術天降神母胎說廣普經 3.36

3.36

After the Buddha had spoken this verse, he addressed the great assembly: "To the southwest, past thirty-two Ganges sands of lands from this Sahā World, there is a realm named Non-Thought. The Buddha's name is Ekasthāna Tathāgata, Arhat, Samyaksambuddha, Vidyācaraṇasampanna, Sugata, Lokavid, Anuttara, Puruṣadamyasārathi, Śāstā Devamanuṣyāṇām, Buddha, Bhagavat. He is present now, teaching the Dharma—good in the beginning, good in the middle, and good in the end—its meaning and flavor profound, discerning the five aggregates—form, sensation, perception, mental formations, consciousness—the six faculties, and the six dusts, practicing the contemplation of impermanence with mindfulness fixed before him. The initial contemplation of the Dharma shatters the delusions regarding the body: this body is non-existent, a dwelling for four serpents; this body is like poison, ruining one's path of dhyāna; this body is like a crow, its mind never satisfied; this body is like a dragon, taking delight in abiding in deep abysses. The Buddha path is unconditioned, pure, and flawless; like a lotus flower in water, unsullied by dust and dirt; like the sun illuminating heaven and earth, eclipsing the light of fireflies; like the many mountains towering up, with Mount Sumeru as the supreme; like the faint glimmer of the multitude of stars, with the bright moon as the foremost; so too, when the Tathāgata appears in the world, the lamp of Dharma is the most supreme."
