佛說觀佛三昧海經 4.10

4.10

「云何觀如來額廣平正相、如來面上三輪相、髮際相？如是眾相，一一相中皆出金光，其金色光化成金床；一一床上有千菩薩，拘樓孫馱為始下逮樓至，是千菩薩皆放光明坐金床上，如是百億千萬菩薩，百億千萬金床。其金床上皆有寶帳，一一寶帳有千光明；一一光明成千寶幢；一一幢上千萬寶蓋，眾寶蓋下有諸寶幡，諸寶幡中無量化佛。是諸化佛皆說苦、空、無常、無我。說此偈時，一切化佛亦皆說此。釋迦文佛方身丈六，在行者前舉其右手，而作是言：『善哉善哉，善男子！汝今能觀諸佛相好，我等先世行菩薩道，與汝無異；汝今能觀諸佛境界，此境界者，但是汝心妄想所生。』作是語已即滅不現，額上諸光復更明顯，其光流出有百千億，一一光明照寶床上諸菩薩面，彼菩薩面亦出光明，照釋迦文，此相現時，行者真觀佛面了了無疑。」

"How does one contemplate the Tathāgata's broad and flat forehead, the three wheel marks on the Tathāgata's face, and the hairline mark? From each of these various marks golden light emerges, and this golden light transforms into golden couches. On each couch are a thousand bodhisattvas, beginning with Krakucchanda down to Ruci; these thousand bodhisattvas all emit light and sit upon the golden couches. In this way, there are hundreds of billions, tens of millions of bodhisattvas, and hundreds of billions, tens of millions of golden couches. Over the golden couches are jeweled canopies; each jeweled canopy has a thousand lights; each light forms a thousand jeweled banners; atop each banner are tens of millions of jeweled parasols; beneath the various jeweled parasols are jeweled pennants; within the jeweled pennants are immeasurable transformation Buddhas. These transformation Buddhas all expound suffering, emptiness, impermanence, and non-self. When this verse is spoken, all transformation Buddhas also speak it. Śākyamuni Buddha, sixteen feet in square stature, raises his right hand in front of the practitioner and says: 'Excellent, excellent, good man! You are now able to contemplate the primary and secondary marks of the Buddhas. When we practiced the bodhisattva path in past lives, it was no different from you. You are now able to contemplate the realm of the Buddhas; this realm is merely generated from the false conceptualizations of your own mind.' Having spoken these words, he immediately disappears and does not appear. The lights on the forehead become even more prominent; the light flows forth in hundreds of thousands of koṭis of rays, each light illuminating the faces of the bodhisattvas on the jeweled couches. The faces of those bodhisattvas also emit light that shines upon Śākyamuni. When this mark appears, the practitioner truly contemplates the Buddha's face with complete clarity and without doubt."
