6.27

"At that time, the Bhagavat entered through the main gate, with Nanda on his left, Ānanda on his right, and Rāhula behind the Buddha. Seeing the Buddha, the old mother was terrified, her hair standing on end: 'How hateful that this person has followed behind me!' She immediately wished to retreat and exit through the dog hole, but the dog hole closed up. The side alleys in all four directions were blocked simultaneously; only the main road remained open. The old mother covered her face, shielding herself with a fan, unwilling to see the Buddha. The Buddha was before her and made the fan like a mirror, without any obstruction. Turning her head to look east, there was a Buddha in the eastern direction; looking south, there was a Buddha in the southern direction; looking west, there was a Buddha in the western direction; looking north, there was a Buddha in the northern direction; raising her head to look up, there was a Buddha in the upward direction; bowing her head to the ground, the earth transformed into a Buddha; when she covered her face with her hands, the ten fingers of her hands all transformed into Buddhas. When the old mother closed her eyes, the eye of her mind immediately opened, and in empty space she saw all the transformation Buddhas filling the worlds of the ten directions."
