6.3

At that time, when the Bhagavat spoke these words, through the power of the Buddha's heart, ten kinds of white light issued from the Buddha's heart. Their light illuminated the worlds of the ten directions universally. In each light were immeasurable transformation Buddhas riding upon jeweled lotus flowers. The great assembly in the gathering at that time saw the Buddha's light as crystal water or saw it as milk; they saw the transformation Buddhas issuing from the Buddha's chest, entering into the Buddha's navel, roaming within the Buddha's heart, and riding upon great jeweled ships to journey through the five destinies to the places of sinners undergoing retribution. Each sinner saw the transformation Buddhas like their own parents, good friends, and relatives, who gradually expounded to them the supramundane Dharma. At that time, a great voice in the sky addressed the great assembly: "All of you now should contemplate the Buddha's heart! The heart of the Buddhas is great benevolence; that which great benevolence takes as its object is suffering sentient beings."
