爾時世尊告阿難言:「若有眾生觀像坐已當觀像行。觀像行者:見十方界滿中像行,虛空及地見一一像從座而起;一一像起時五百億寶華;一一華中有無數光;一一光中無數化佛隨心想現,坐像起立未起中間當動身時,眉間白毫旋舒長短,猶如真佛放白光明,為百千色映飾金光,眾白光間無數銀像身白銀色,銀光,銀華、銀蓋、銀幡、銀臺,悉皆是銀。時眾金像與銀像俱動身欲起,諸像臍中各生蓮華,其蓮華中踊出無數百千化佛,一一化佛放金色光照行者身。是時行者,入定之時自見己身三十六物惡露不淨。不淨現時當疾除滅,而作是念:『三世諸佛身心清淨,我今學佛真淨法身,此不淨觀從貪愛生,虛偽不實用此觀為?』作是念已當自觀身,使諸不淨變為白玉,自見己身如白玉瓶內外俱空,作是觀時,宜服酥藥勿使身虛。此想成時,諸像皆起如前立住,見像立時當作想念請像令行。像既行已步步之中,足下生華成蓮華臺,見十方界滿中行像供具妓樂,諸天大眾恭敬圍遶,行像放光照諸大眾令作金色,銀像放光照諸大眾皆作銀色,白玉菩薩放白玉光令諸大眾作白玉色,雜色諸像放雜色光映飾其間。此想成已更起想念:『請諸行像,皆令以手悉摩我頭。』爾時諸像各申右手摩行者頭,是時眾像放大光明照行者身,光照身時,行者自見身黃金色。此想成已出定歡喜,復更至心禮敬諸佛修諸功德,以是功德迴向菩提。
At that time, the Bhagavat said to Ānanda: "If there are sentient beings who, having contemplated the seated image, should then contemplate the walking image. Regarding contemplating the walking image: One sees the realms of the ten directions completely filled with walking images; in empty space and on the ground, one sees each image rising from its seat. When each image rises, there are five hundred koṭis of treasure lotuses; within each flower there are countless rays of light; and within each ray of light, countless transformation Buddhas appear according to mental visualization. While the seated images rise to stand, during the interval before they have fully stood and as they begin to move their bodies, the white curls between their brows spiral and extend, long or short, just like real Buddhas emitting white light, which in hundreds of thousands of colors illuminates and adorns the golden light. Amidst the white lights, countless silver images of white silver color have silver light, silver flowers, silver canopies, silver pennants, and silver terraces, all entirely made of silver. At that time, the golden images, together with the silver images, all move their bodies wishing to rise. From the navels of the images, lotuses individually emerge, and from within those lotuses, countless hundreds of thousands of transformation Buddhas spring forth, each transformation Buddha emitting golden light that illuminates the practitioner's body. At that time, when entering samādhi, the practitioner personally sees their own body's thirty-six impurities and foul discharge. When the impurities appear, one should quickly eradicate them and form this thought: 'The bodies and minds of the Buddhas of the three times are pure; I am now training in the Buddha's truly pure dharmakāya. This contemplation of impurity arises from craving and attachment, false and unreal; why should I use this contemplation?' Having formed this thought, one should contemplate one's own body, causing all impurities to transform into white jade, seeing one's own body like a white jade vase, empty both inside and outside. When performing this contemplation, it is advisable to take ghee medicine so as not to let the body become deficient. When this visualization is accomplished, all the images rise and remain standing as before. Seeing the images standing, one should form the visualization inviting the images to walk. Once the images walk, at every step, flowers spring up beneath their feet, forming lotus pedestals. One sees the realms of the ten directions completely filled with walking images, offering utensils, and musical entertainments, with the great assemblies of devas respectfully surrounding them. The walking images emit light that illuminates the great assemblies, turning them golden in color; the silver images emit light that illuminates the great assemblies, turning them silver in color; the white jade bodhisattvas emit white jade light, turning the great assemblies white jade in color; and variegated images emit variegated light, illuminating and adorning in between. When this visualization is accomplished, one further gives rise to the visualization: 'I entreat all the walking images to each stroke my head with their hands.' At that time, each of the images extends its right hand to stroke the practitioner's head. At that moment, the images emit great radiant light illuminating the practitioner's body. When the light illuminates the body, the practitioner personally sees their own body become golden in color. When this visualization is accomplished, one emerges from samādhi rejoicing, and once again with utmost sincerity pays homage and makes offerings to the Buddhas, cultivating all meritorious virtues and dedicating this merit toward bodhi."
