「億億光照西方乃至西方無量世界,其光雜色如月如星,眾星月間有七寶珠,一珠出水、一珠出火、一珠生樹,其樹七寶金剛為果、一珠生華,於月光中有梵宮殿,梵王眷屬及梵眾寶皆悉具足,其星光中,有摩醯首羅宮及其眷屬,一一天宮百萬億梵王;一一梵王,無量無數諸天大眾以為眷屬,摩醯首羅等數不可知。是諸寶珠出琉璃光,琉璃光內有真金像,其真金像坐白寶座,項佩赤真珠光,赤真珠光中有綠真珠化佛,是諸化佛及諸天眾,異口同音讚說不殺,勸進行者行大慈悲。」

“Hundreds of millions of rays of light illuminate the western direction, reaching to the immeasurable worlds of the western direction. The light is variegated in color like the moon and stars. Amidst the stars and moon are seven-jeweled pearls: one pearl brings forth water, one pearl brings forth fire, one pearl produces a tree—the tree being made of the seven jewels with adamantine fruits—and one pearl produces flowers. Within the moonlight are palaces of Brahmā, fully furnished with the Brahmā king’s retinue and the treasures of the Brahmā hosts. Within the starlight is the palace of Maheśvara and his retinue. In each heavenly palace are a million koṭis of Brahmā kings; each Brahmā king has immeasurable and innumerable hosts of devas as his retinue; and the number of Maheśvaras and others is unknowable. These jeweled pearls emit lapis lazuli light. Within the lapis lazuli light are pure golden images. The pure golden images sit upon white jeweled seats, their necks adorned with the radiance of red pearls, and within the radiance of the red pearls are transformation Buddhas of green pearls. These transformation Buddhas and the hosts of devas, with different mouths but a single voice, praise and proclaim non-killing, encouraging practitioners to practice great loving-kindness and compassion.”
