For future ages, open the path to rebirth in heaven, reveal the marks of awakening, and do not sever the lineage of the Buddhas. This scripture is named \*The Parinirvāṇa of Maitreya Bodhisattva\*, and also named \*Contemplation of Maitreya Bodhisattva's Birth in the Tuṣita Heaven and Exhortation to Arouse the Bodhi-Mind\*; accept and uphold it as such.” When the Buddha spoke these words, one hundred thousand bodhisattvas who had assembled from other lands attained the Śūraṅgama Samādhi; eighty thousand koṭis of devas aroused the bodhi-mind, and all vowed to accompany Maitreya in descending for rebirth. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.27](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.452.1.27) - [Next: 1.29](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.452.1.29) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.452.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.452~en-mt.1.28) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (2) - [觀彌勒上生兜率天經贊](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1772.2.212) — Classical Chinese - [འཕགས་པ་བྱང་ཆུབ་སེམས་དཔའ་བྱམས་པ་དགའ་ལྡན་གནམ་དུ་སྐྱེ་བ་བླངས་པའི་མདོ](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.tibet.kangyur.mdo_sde.199.13) — Classical Tibetan --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.452.1.28](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.452.1.28) · Pramāṇa
