CHAPTER ONE: The Wonderful Adornments of the Leaders of the World

如是我聞：

Thus have I heard:

一時，佛在摩竭提國阿蘭若法菩提場中，始成正覺。其地堅固，金剛所成；上妙寶輪，及眾寶華、清淨摩尼，以為嚴飾；諸色相海，無邊顯現；摩尼為幢，常放光明，恒出妙音，眾寶羅網，妙香華纓，周匝垂布；摩尼寶王，變現自在，雨無盡寶及眾妙華分散於地；寶樹行列，枝葉光茂。佛神力故，令此道場一切莊嚴於中影現。

At that time, the Buddha in the country of Magadha, within the Araṇya site of bodhi, having just attained perfect enlightenment. The ground was firm, made of vajra, and adorned with supreme jeweled wheels, many jeweled flowers, and pure maṇi gems. An ocean of various forms appeared boundlessly. Maṇi banners constantly emitted light and always produced wonderful sounds; nets of precious jewels and fragrant flower garlands hung all around. The king of maṇi jewels freely manifested, raining down endless treasures and scattering many wondrous flowers on the ground; rows of jeweled trees stood with radiant branches and leaves. By the Buddha's spiritual power, all these adornments of the site of enlightenment were reflected within it.

其菩提樹高顯殊特：金剛為身，瑠璃為幹；眾雜妙寶以為枝條；寶葉扶踈，垂蔭如雲；寶華雜色，分枝布影，復以摩尼而為其果，含輝發焰，與華間列。其樹周圍咸放光明，於光明中雨摩尼寶，摩尼寶內，有諸菩薩，其眾如雲，俱時出現。

The Bodhi Tree was tall and exceptionally magnificent: its trunk was made of vajra, its stems of lapis lazuli; its branches and twigs were made of various precious jewels; its jeweled leaves were lush and provided shade like clouds; jeweled flowers of various colors spread their shadows among the branches, and mani jewels formed its fruits, glowing and radiating light, interspersed with flowers. The entire tree emitted light in all directions, and within this light rained down mani jewels. Inside these mani jewels were numerous bodhisattvas, appearing simultaneously like clouds.

又以如來威神力故，其菩提樹恒出妙音，說種種法，無有盡極。

Furthermore, by the power of the Tathagata's spiritual might, the Bodhi Tree constantly emitted wondrous sounds, expounding various dharmas without end.

如來所處宮殿樓閣，廣博嚴麗充遍十方，眾色摩尼之所集成，種種寶華以為莊校；諸莊嚴具流光如雲，從宮殿間萃影成幢。

The palaces and pavilions where the Tathāgata dwelled were vast, magnificent, and pervaded the ten directions. They were composed of mani jewels of all colors and adorned with various precious flowers. All the ornaments flowed with light like clouds, gathering between the palaces to form banners.

無邊菩薩道場眾會咸集其所，以能出現諸佛光明不思議音。摩尼寶王而為其網，如來自在神通之力所有境界皆從中出；一切眾生居處屋宅，皆於此中現其影像。

Countless bodhisattvas gathered at this site of enlightenment, able to manifest the inconceivable light and sound of all Buddhas. A net made of the king of mani jewels covered the area, and all the realms of the Tathāgata's sovereign spiritual powers emerged from within it. The dwellings of all sentient beings appeared as reflections within it.

又以諸佛神力所加，一念之間，悉包法界。

Moreover, empowered by the spiritual might of all Buddhas, it encompassed the entire Dharmadhātu in a single thought.

其師子座，高廣妙好：摩尼為臺，蓮華為網，清淨妙寶以為其輪，眾色雜華而作瓔珞。堂榭、樓閣、階砌、戶牖，凡諸物像，備體莊嚴；寶樹枝果，周迴間列。

The lion throne was lofty, vast, and wonderfully fine: its platform was made of mani jewels, its net of lotus flowers, its wheels of pure wondrous jewels, and its ornaments of flowers of various colors. Halls, pavilions, steps, doors, and windows - all things were completely adorned. Jeweled trees with branches and fruits were arrayed all around.

摩尼光雲，互相照耀；十方諸佛，化現珠玉；一切菩薩髻中妙寶，悉放光明而來瑩燭。復以諸佛威神所持，演說如來廣大境界，妙音遐暢，無處不及。

Clouds of mani light illuminated each other; the Buddhas of the ten directions manifested as pearls and jade; the wondrous jewels in the topknots of all bodhisattvas emitted light to illuminate [the scene]. Furthermore, sustained by the spiritual power of all Buddhas, they expounded on the vast realm of the Tathāgata, their wondrous voices spreading far and wide, reaching everywhere.

爾時，世尊處于此座，於一切法成最正覺，智入三世悉皆平等，其身充滿一切世間，其音普順十方國土。譬如虛空具含眾像，於諸境界無所分別；又如虛空普遍一切，於諸國土平等隨入。身恒遍坐一切道場，菩薩眾中威光赫奕，如日輪出，照明世界。三世所行，眾福大海，悉已清淨，而恒示生諸佛國土。無邊色相，圓滿光明，遍周法界，等無差別；

At that time, the World-Honored One, seated on this throne, attained the supreme perfect enlightenment in all dharmas. His wisdom entered the three times with perfect equality, his body filled all worlds, and his voice accorded with all lands in the ten directions. Like space containing all forms, he made no discrimination among all objects; and like space pervading everywhere, he entered all countries equally. His body constantly sat in all sites of enlightenment, his majestic radiance shining brilliantly amidst the assembly of bodhisattvas, like the sun emerging to illuminate the world. The ocean of merits from his practices in the three times was already purified, yet he constantly manifested birth in all buddha lands. His boundless forms and perfect radiance pervaded the entire Dharmadhātu without differentiation.

演一切法，如布大雲。一一毛端，悉能容受一切世界而無障礙，各現無量神通之力，教化調伏一切眾生；身遍十方而無來往，智入諸相，了法空寂。三世諸佛所有神變，於光明中靡不咸覩；一切佛土不思議劫所有莊嚴，悉令顯現。

He expounded all dharmas like spreading great clouds. Each of his hair pores could contain all world systems without obstruction, each manifesting immeasurable spiritual powers to teach and subdue all sentient beings. His body pervaded the ten directions without coming or going, his wisdom entered all appearances, understanding the emptiness and tranquility of dharmas. All the spiritual transformations of the buddhas of the three times were visible within his light; all the adornments of all buddha lands throughout inconceivable kalpas were caused to appear.

大方廣佛華嚴經卷第二

爾時，如來道場眾海，悉已雲集；無邊品類，周匝遍滿；形色部從，各各差別；隨所來方，親近世尊，一心瞻仰。此諸眾會，已離一切煩惱心垢及其餘習，摧重障山，見佛無礙。如是皆以毘盧遮那如來往昔之時，於劫海中修菩薩行，以四攝事而曾攝受；一一佛所種善根時，皆已善攝種種方便，教化成熟，令其安立一切智道；種無量善，獲眾大福，悉已入於方便願海；所行之行，具足清淨；於出離道，已能善出；常見於佛，分明照了；以勝解力入於如來功德大海，得於諸佛解脫之門遊戲神通。所謂：

At that time, the vast assembly at the Buddha's enlightenment site had already gathered like clouds. Limitless types of beings filled the area all around. Their forms, colors, and groups were each distinct. According to where they came from, they drew near to the World-Honored One, single-mindedly gazing up at him. These assemblies had already abandoned all afflictions and mental defilements along with their remaining habits, demolished the heavy mountain of obstructions, and saw the Buddha without hindrance. This was all because Vairocana Tathāgata in the past, during oceans of kalpas, had cultivated bodhisattva practices and embraced them through the four means of attraction. Whenever he planted good roots with each Buddha, he had already skillfully employed various expedient means to teach, transform, and bring them to maturity, establishing them on the path of all-knowing wisdom. He planted immeasurable good deeds and obtained great blessings. They had all entered the ocean of expedient vows. The practices they cultivated were completely pure. Regarding the path of liberation, they were already able to skillfully transcend. They constantly saw the Buddha, perceiving him clearly. With the power of resolute understanding, they entered the great ocean of the Tathāgata's merits and attained the gateway of liberation of all Buddhas, playing with spiritual powers. Namely:

妙焰海大自在天王，得法界、虛空界寂靜方便力解脫門；自在名稱光天王，得普觀一切法悉自在解脫門；清淨功德眼天王，得知一切法不生、不滅、不來、不去、無功用行解脫門；可愛樂大慧天王，得現見一切法真實相智慧海解脫門；不動光自在天王，得與眾生無邊安樂大方便定解脫門；妙莊嚴眼天王，得令觀寂靜法滅諸癡暗怖解脫門；善思惟光明天王，得善入無邊境界不起一切諸有思惟業解脫門；可愛樂大智天王，得普往十方說法而不動無所依解脫門；普音莊嚴幢天王，得入佛寂靜境界普現光明解脫門；名稱光善精進天王，得住自所悟處而以無邊廣大境界為所緣解脫門。

The Maheśvara Deva King Wondrous Flame Ocean attained the liberation gateway of the power of tranquil expedient means in the realm of dharma and space. The Self-Mastery Renowned Light Deva King attained the liberation gateway of universally observing all dharmas with complete mastery. The Pure Merit Eyes Deva King attained the liberation gateway of knowing all dharmas as unborn, unceasing, uncoming, ungoing, and effortless in action. The Lovable Great Wisdom Deva King attained the liberation gateway of directly perceiving the ocean of wisdom of the true characteristics of all dharmas. The Immovable Light Self-Mastery Deva King attained the liberation gateway of the great expedient samadhi that gives boundless peace and joy to sentient beings. The Wondrous Adorned Eyes Deva King attained the liberation gateway of causing beings to contemplate tranquil dharmas and eliminate the fear of delusion and darkness. The Good Contemplation Light Deva King attained the liberation gateway of skillfully entering boundless realms without giving rise to thoughts of existence. The Lovable Great Intelligence Deva King attained the liberation gateway of universally going to the ten directions to teach the Dharma while remaining unmoved and unattached. The Universal Sound Adorned Banner Deva King attained the liberation gateway of entering the Buddha's tranquil realm and universally manifesting light. The Renowned Light of Good Diligence Deva King attained the liberation gateway of abiding in his own realization while taking boundless vast realms as objects of contemplation.

爾時，妙焰海天王，承佛威力，普觀一切自在天眾而說頌言：

At that time, Deva King of Wondrous Flame Ocean, empowered by the Buddha's spiritual power, observed all the assemblies of self-mastery devas and spoke these verses:

佛身普遍諸大會，　　 充滿法界無窮盡，　 寂滅無性不可取，　　 為救世間而出現。　

The Buddha's body pervades all great assemblies, Filling the Dharmadhātu without end. Quiescent, without nature, and ungraspable, Appearing to save the world.

如來法王出世間，　　 能然照世妙法燈，　 境界無邊亦無盡，　　 此自在名之所證。　

The Tathagata, the Dharma King, emerges in the world, Able to light the wondrous Dharma lamp illuminating the world. His realm is boundless and endless, This is realized by the one named Self-Mastery.

佛不思議離分別，　　 了相十方無所有，　 為世廣開清淨道，　　 如是淨眼能觀見。

The Buddha is inconceivable, beyond discrimination, Understanding that the ten directions are empty of characteristics. He widely opens the pure path for the world, Thus can the Pure Eyes observe.　

如來智慧無邊際，　　 一切世間莫能測，　 永滅眾生癡暗心，　　 大慧入此深安住。

The Tathagata's merits are inconceivable, Beings who see him have their afflictions eliminated. He universally brings peace and joy to the world, The Immovable Self-Mastery Deva can perceive this.

眾生癡暗常迷覆，　　 如來為說寂靜法，　 是則照世智慧燈，　　 妙眼能知此方便。　

Beings are constantly shrouded in ignorance and delusion, The Tathagata expounds the tranquil Dharma for them. This is the wisdom lamp illuminating the world, Wondrous Eyes can understand this skillful means.

如來清淨妙色身，　　 普現十方無有比，　 此身無性無依處，　　 善思惟天所觀察。　

The Tathagata's pure and wondrous form body Manifests everywhere in the ten directions without compare. This body has no nature and no abode, The Good Contemplation Deva observes this.

如來音聲無限礙，　　 堪受化者靡不聞，　 而佛寂然恒不動，　　 此樂智天之解脫。　

The Tathagata's voice is without limit or obstruction, All who are ready to be transformed can hear it. Yet the Buddha remains forever silent and unmoving, This is the liberation of the Delighting in Wisdom Deva.

寂靜解脫天人主，　　 十方無處不現前，　 光明照耀滿世間，　　 此無礙法嚴幢見。　

The Lord of devas and humans, tranquil and liberated, Is present everywhere in the ten directions. His light illuminates and fills the world, This is seen by Unobstructed Dharma Banner.

佛於無邊大劫海，　　 為眾生故求菩提，　 種種神通化一切，　　 名稱光天悟斯法。」

Throughout boundless great kalpas, The Buddha sought enlightenment for the sake of beings. With various spiritual powers he transforms all, The Renowned Light Deva realizes this Dharma.

復次，可愛樂法光明幢天王，得普觀一切眾生根為說法斷疑解脫門；淨莊嚴海天王，得隨憶念令見佛解脫門；最勝慧光明天王，得法性平等無所依莊嚴身解脫門；自在智慧幢天王，得了知一切世間法一念中安立不思議莊嚴海解脫門；樂寂靜天王，得於一毛孔現不思議佛剎無障礙解脫門；普智眼天王，得入普門觀察法界解脫門；樂旋慧天王，得為一切眾生種種出現無邊劫常現前解脫門；善種慧光明天王，得觀一切世間境界入不思議法解脫門；無垢寂靜光天王，得示一切眾生出要法解脫門；廣大清淨光天王，得觀察一切應化眾生令入佛法解脫門。

Furthermore, Deva King Delightful Dharma Light Banner attained the liberation gateway of universally observing all beings' faculties to expound the Dharma and eliminate doubts. Deva King Pure Adornment Ocean attained the liberation gateway of causing beings to see the Buddha according to their recollection. Deva King Supreme Wisdom Light attained the liberation gateway of adorning the body with the equality of dharma nature without dependence.

爾時，可愛樂法光明幢天王，承佛威力，普觀一切少廣天、無量廣天、廣果天眾而說頌言：

At that time, Deva King Delightful Dharma Light Banner, empowered by the Buddha's spiritual power, observed all the assemblies of the Lesser Vastness Heavens, Immeasurable Vastness Heavens, and Vast Fruit Heavens, and spoke these verses:

諸佛境界不思議，　　 一切眾生莫能測，　 普令其心生信解，　　 廣大意樂無窮盡。　

The realm of Buddhas is inconceivable, No sentient being can fathom it. It universally causes their hearts to generate faith and understanding, With vast aspiration without end.

若有眾生堪受法，　　 佛威神力開導彼，　 令其恒覩佛現前，　　 嚴海天王如是見。　

If there are beings capable of receiving the Dharma, The Buddha's spiritual power guides them, Causing them to always see the Buddha present before them. The Adornment Ocean Deva King sees it thus.

一切法性無所依，　　 佛現世間亦如是，　 普於諸有無依處，　　 此義勝智能觀察。

All dharma natures have no support, The Buddha's appearance in the world is also like this, Universally in all existences without a place of dependency. This meaning can be observed by Supreme Wisdom.　

隨諸眾生心所欲，　　 佛神通力皆能現，　 各各差別不思議，　　 此智幢王解脫海。　

According to the desires in the minds of all sentient beings, The Buddha's spiritual powers can all manifest, Each different and inconceivable. This is the ocean of liberation of Wisdom Banner King.

過去所有諸國土，　　 一毛孔中皆示現，　 此是諸佛大神通，　　 愛樂寂靜能宣說。　

All the lands of the past Are all displayed within a single pore. This is the great spiritual power of all Buddhas, Which Delighting in Tranquility can proclaim.

一切法門無盡海，　　 同會一法道場中，　 如是法性佛所說，　　 智眼能明此方便。

The inexhaustible sea of all Dharma gates Converges in one Dharma in the site of enlightenment. Such is the nature of Dharma as explained by the Buddha. Wisdom Eye can understand this skillful means.　

十方所有諸國土，　　 悉在其中而說法，　 佛身無去亦無來，　　 愛樂慧旋之境界。　

All the lands in the ten directions Are within it, expounding the Dharma. The Buddha's body neither comes nor goes. This is the realm of Delighting in Revolving wisdom.

佛觀世法如光影，　　 入彼甚深幽奧處，　 說諸法性常寂然，　　 善種思惟能見此。

The Buddha observes worldly phenomena as light and shadow, Entering their profound and subtle places, Explaining that the nature of all dharmas is eternally quiescent. The Good Seed can contemplate and see this.　

佛善了知諸境界，　　 隨眾生根雨法雨，　 為啟難思出要門，　　 此寂靜天能悟入。　

The Buddha well understands all realms, Raining Dharma rain according to beings' faculties, To open the inconceivable gate of transcendence. This Tranquil Deva can enter and comprehend.

At that time, the Forest Lord Deity Scattering Flowers Like Clouds, empowered by the Buddha’s spiritual power, surveyed all the assemblies of the forest lords and spoke in verse:

佛昔修習菩提行，　　 福德智慧悉成滿，　 一切諸力皆具足，　　 放大光明出世間。　

In former times the Buddha cultivated the practices of bodhi,

His merit and wisdom brought to perfect fullness;

Endowed with every sovereign power,

He shed great light and appeared in the world.

悲門無量等眾生，　　 如來往昔普淨治，　 是故於世能為益，　　 此擢幹神之所了。

His gate of compassion, measureless and equal to beings—

The Tathagata long ago purified all;

Thus he is able to benefit the world—

This the Uplifting-Trunk Forest Lord understands.　

若有眾生一見佛，　　 必使入於深信海，　 普示一切如來道，　　 此妙芽神之解脫。　

If any being so much as beholds the Buddha,

He surely leads them into the ocean of deep faith,

Universally revealing the paths of all Tathagatas—

Such is the Sprouting-Shoot Deity’s liberation.

一毛所集諸功德，　　 劫海宣揚不可盡，　 諸佛方便難思議，　　 淨葉能明此深義。

The merits amassed in a single hair’s breadth

Could not be exhausted if proclaimed through oceans of kalpas;

The Buddhas’ skillful means are inconceivable—

Pure Leaf can elucidate this profound meaning.　

我念如來於往昔，　　 供養剎塵無量佛，　 一一佛所智漸明，　　 此焰藏神之所了。　

I recall the Tathagata in ages past

Making offerings to Buddhas as many as dust motes;

At the feet of each, his wisdom grew ever clear—

Thus knows the Flame-Treasury Deity.

一切眾生諸行海，　　 世尊一念悉了知，　 如是廣大無礙智，　　 妙莊嚴神能悟入。　

The ocean of all beings’ myriad deeds—

In a single thought the World-Honored fully knows;

Such vast, unobstructed wisdom

Is the gate the Wondrous Adornment Deity can enter.

恒演如來寂妙音，　　 普生無等大歡喜，　 隨其解欲皆令悟，　　 此是雷音所行法。　

He constantly proclaims the Tathagata’s serene and wondrous sound,

Arousing peerless, great joy everywhere;

According to their understanding and desire, he brings all to awakening—

This is the practice of the Thunder-Sound Deity.

如來示現大神通，　　 十方國土皆周遍，　 佛昔修行悉令見，　　 此普香光所入門。　

The Tathagata displays his great spiritual powers,

Pervading the lands of the ten directions;

He makes manifest the practices he cultivated of old—

This is the gate of Universally Fragrant Light.

眾生譣詖不修德，　　 迷惑沈流生死中，　 為彼闡明眾智道，　　 此妙光神之所見。　

Beings slanderous and wayward, who do not cultivate virtue,

Deluded, sinking in the stream of birth and death—

For them he opens and clarifies the many paths of wisdom—

Thus does the Wondrous Light Deity behold.

佛為業障諸眾生，　　 經於億劫時乃現，　 其餘念念常令見，　　 此味光神所觀察。」

For beings encumbered by karmic obstacles

He appears only after billions of kalpas;

For all the rest, from thought to thought he lets them see him—

So observes the Savor-Light Deity.

Unstained by worldly dharmas, like empty space.

With manifold expedients he transforms the multitudes—

This gate is realized by Jeweled Topknot.

眾生盲暗入險道，　　 佛哀愍彼舒光照，　 普使世間從睡覺，　　 威光悟此心生喜。　

Beings, blind and dark, tread perilous paths;

The Buddha, in pity, spreads his light to illumine,

Awakening the whole world from its sleep—

昔在諸有廣修行，　　 供養剎塵無數佛，　 令眾生見發大願，　　 此地大力能明入。　

In ages past, throughout all realms, he widely practiced,

Making offerings to Buddhas as many as dust motes;

Seeing beings suffer in ceaseless wandering,

Enwrapped by constant karmic obstacles,

With wisdom’s light he utterly removes them—

This is the liberation of the Universally Victorious Deity.

一一毛孔出妙音，　　 隨眾生心讚諸佛，　 悉遍十方無量劫，　　 此是光輪所入門。　

From each and every pore, wondrous sound issues forth,

Praising the Buddhas in accord with beings’ minds,

Pervading the ten directions through measureless kalpas—

This is the gate entered by the Light Wheel.

佛遍十方普現前，　　 種種方便說妙法，　 廣益眾生諸行海，　　 此現見神之所悟。

By various expedients proclaiming wondrous Dharma,

Broadly benefiting the ocean of beings’ practices—

This is realized by the Manifest-Seeing Deity.

我念如來往昔時，　　 於無量劫所修行，　 諸佛出興咸供養，　　 故獲如空大功德。

I recall the Tathagata in former times,

Through immeasurable kalpas cultivating practices,

Whenever Buddhas appeared he made offerings to them all,

Thus he obtained vast merits as boundless as space.　

佛昔修行無盡施，　　 無量剎土微塵等，　 須彌光照菩提神，　　 憶念善逝心欣慶。

In the past the Buddha practiced inexhaustible giving,

As many times as dust motes in measureless realms;

Able to give up what is hardest to give, with eyes like the sea;

Such acts of giving for the sake of beings—

This the Wondrous-Eyed Spirit realizes with delight.

The Buddha pervasively weaves and rains the Dharma-rain,

Removing doubts according to their capacities—

The Flower-Garland Spirit understands this and rejoices.

無量法門差別義，　　 辯才大海皆能入，　 雨寶嚴具道場神，　　 於心念念恒如是。

The measureless Dharma-gates with their varied meanings—

The ocean of eloquence can enter them all;

The Jewel-Rain Adornment Bodhimaṇḍa Spirit

Holds this continually, thought after thought.　

於不可說一切土，　　 盡世言辭稱讚佛，　 故獲名譽大功德，　　 此勇眼神能憶念。

Throughout inexpressible world-realms,

Exhausting worldly words to praise the Buddha,

He thereby attains great merit of renown—

This the Valiant-Eyed Spirit recollects.

With pure faithful heart, Lotus-Step Radiance

Enters this liberation and rejoices deeply.　

道場一切出妙音，　　 讚佛難思清淨力，　 及以成就諸因行，　　 此妙光神能聽受。」

From the bodhimaṇḍa arise all wondrous sounds,

Praising the Buddha’s inconceivable, pure power

And the completion of all causes and practices—

This the Wondrous Light Spirit can hear and receive.

Each and every body pervades the Dharmadhātu,

Emitting pure light and raining down myriad jewels—

Into such liberation the Star Banner enters.　

如來境界無邊際，　　 普雨法雨皆充滿，　 眾會覩佛生歡喜，　　 此妙音聲之所見。　

The Tathagata’s realm has no boundary;

He universally rains Dharma until all is filled.

Assemblies that behold the Buddha give rise to joy—

This is what Wondrous Sound perceives.

佛音聲量等虛空，　　 一切音聲悉在中，　 調伏眾生靡不遍，　　 如是栴檀能聽受。　

The Buddha’s voice is measureless like space;

Within it all sounds are encompassed.

He tames beings everywhere without exception—

Thus does Sandalwood hear and receive.

一切毛孔出化音，　　 闡揚三世諸佛名，　 聞此音者皆歡喜，　　 蓮華光神如是見。

From every pore resound transformative tones,

Proclaiming the Buddhas’ names of the three times;

All who hear these sounds rejoice—

Thus does the Lotus Radiance Spirit behold.　

佛身變現不思議，　　 步步色相猶如海，　 隨眾生心悉令見，　　 此妙光明之所得。

The Buddha’s body transforms inconceivably;

At every step his forms and characteristics are like an ocean.

According to beings’ minds he lets them all behold—

This is what Subtle Radiance attains.　

十方普現大神通，　　 一切眾生悉開悟，　 眾妙華神於此法，　　 見已心生大歡喜。」

Great spiritual powers appear throughout the ten directions;

All sentient beings thereby awaken.

Regarding this Dharma, the Wondrous Flowers Spirit,

Upon seeing, gives rise to great joy.

復次，淨喜境界身眾神，得憶佛往昔誓願海解脫門；光照十方身眾神，得光明普照無邊世界解脫門；海音調伏身眾神，得大音普覺一切眾生令歡喜調伏解脫門；淨華嚴髻身眾神，得身如虛空周遍住解脫門；無量威儀身眾神，得示一切眾生諸佛境界解脫門；最勝光嚴身眾神，得令一切飢乏眾生色力滿足解脫門；淨光香雲身眾神，得除一切眾生煩惱垢解脫門；守護攝持身眾神，得轉一切眾生愚癡魔業解脫門；普現攝化身眾神，得普於一切世主宮殿中顯示莊嚴相解脫門；不動光明身眾神，得普攝一切眾生皆令生清淨善根解脫門。

爾時，淨喜境界身眾神，承佛威力，普觀一切身眾神眾而說頌言：

At that time, the Multiple-Body Spirit Pure Joy Realm, empowered by the Buddha’s spiritual power, surveyed all the assemblies of multiple-body spirits and spoke in verse:

我憶須彌塵劫前，　　 有佛妙光出興世，　 世尊於彼如來所，　　 發心供養一切佛。

I recall, countless Sumeru-dust kalpas ago,

There was a Buddha named Wondrous Light who appeared in the world;

Before that World-Honored Tathagata,

He aroused the mind to make offerings to all Buddhas.　

如來身放大光明，　　 其光法界靡不充，　 眾生遇者心調伏，　　 此照方神之所見。

The Tathagata’s body emits great radiance,

Its light fills the entire Dharmadhatu;

Beings who encounter it have their minds gently tamed—

This is what the Region-Illuminating Spirit perceives.　

如來聲震十方國，　　 一切言音悉圓滿，　 普覺群生無有餘，　　 調伏聞此心歡慶。　

The Tathagata’s voice resounds through lands of the ten directions,

Encompassing and perfecting every form of speech;

He universally awakens all living beings without remainder—

Hearing this, the Subduing One rejoices at heart.

佛身清淨恒寂滅，　　 普現眾色無諸相，　 如是遍住於世間，　　 此淨華神之所入。

The Buddha’s body is pure, ever quiescent in nirvana,

Universally manifesting in many hues yet having no characteristics;

Thus he pervades and abides throughout the world—

This is the entry of the Pure-Flower Spirit.　

導師如是不思議，　　 隨眾生心悉令見，　 或坐或行或時住，　　 無量威儀所悟門。　

The Guide is thus inconceivable;

In accord with beings’ minds he lets them see—

Whether seated, walking, or pausing in place—

These are gates realized by his immeasurable dignified manners.

佛百千劫難逢遇，　　 出興利益能自在，　 令世悉離貧窮苦，　　 最勝光嚴入斯處。

A Buddha is hard to encounter in hundreds of thousands of kalpas;

When he appears, he freely brings benefit,

Causing the world to leave poverty and suffering—

Into this the Supreme Light Adornment enters.　

如來一一齒相間，　　 普放香燈光焰雲，　 滅除一切眾生惑，　　 離垢雲神如是見。　

From between each of the Tathagata’s teeth

Emanate clouds of fragrant lamp-like flames,

Dispelling all beings’ delusions—

So sees the Stainless-Cloud Spirit.

眾生染惑為重障，　　 隨逐魔徑常流轉，　 如來開示解脫道，　　 守護執持能悟入。

Beings’ defiling delusions are a heavy obstruction;

They follow Māra’s paths and revolve without cease;

The Tathagata opens and reveals the road to liberation—

The Guardian and Sustainer can enter and realize this.　

我觀如來自在力，　　 光布法界悉充滿，　 處王宮殿化眾生，　　 此普現神之境界。

I behold the Tathagata’s power of self-mastery:

His light spreads, filling the entire Dharmadhātu;

Within royal palaces he transforms living beings—

This is the domain of the Universally Manifesting Spirit.

眾生迷妄具眾苦，　　 佛在其中常救攝，　 皆令滅惑生喜心，　　 不動光神所觀見。」

Beings, deluded and mistaken, suffer manifold pains;

Amid them the Buddha constantly rescues and gathers them in,

Causing delusions to cease and joy to arise—

This the Immovable Light Spirit beholds.

復次，妙色那羅延執金剛神，得見如來示現無邊色相身解脫門；日輪速疾幢執金剛神，得佛身一一毛如日輪現種種光明雲解脫門；須彌華光執金剛神，得化現無量身大神變解脫門；清淨雲音執金剛神，得無邊隨類音解脫門；妙臂天主執金剛神，得現為一切世間主開悟眾生解脫門；可愛樂光明執金剛神，得普開示一切佛法差別門咸盡無遺解脫門；大樹雷音執金剛神，得以可愛樂莊嚴具攝一切樹神解脫門；師子王光明執金剛神，得如來廣大福莊嚴聚皆具足明了解脫門；密焰吉祥目執金剛神，得普觀察險惡眾生心為現威嚴身解脫門；蓮華摩尼髻執金剛神，得普雨一切菩薩莊嚴具摩尼髻解脫門。

At that time, the Vajra-Wielding Spirit Nārāyaṇa of Wondrous Form, empowered by the Buddha’s spiritual might, surveyed all the assemblies of vajra-wielding spirits and spoke in verse:

汝應觀法王，　　 法王法如是，　 色相無有邊，　　 普現於世間。

You should contemplate the Dharma King;

The Dharma King’s Dharma is thus:

His forms and characteristics are without boundary,

Universally appearing in the world.　

佛身一一毛，　　 光網不思議，　 譬如淨日輪，　　 普照十方國。

From each and every hair of the Buddha’s body

Issues an inconceivable net of light,

Like a pure sun-disk,

Illuminating the lands of the ten directions.　

如來神通力，　　 法界悉周遍，　 一切眾生前，　　 示現無盡身。　

By the Tathagata’s power of spiritual mastery,

He pervades the entire Dharmadhātu;

Before all sentient beings

He displays bodies without end.

如來說法音，　　 十方莫不聞，　 隨諸眾生類，　　 悉令心滿足。　

The Tathagata’s voice that expounds the Dharma

Is heard throughout the ten directions;

According to the kinds of beings,

He fully satisfies their hearts.

眾見牟尼尊，　　 處世宮殿中，　 普為諸群生，　　 闡揚於大法。　

The multitudes behold the Sage, the World-Honored One,

Dwelling in the palaces of the world;

Universally for all living beings

He proclaims the great Dharma.

法海漩澓處，　　 一切差別義，　 種種方便門，　　 演說無窮盡。

Within the swirling depths of the ocean of Dharma,

All the differentiated meanings

And the manifold gates of skillful means

Are expounded without end.　

無邊大方便，　　 普應十方國，　 遇佛淨光明，　　 悉見如來身。

Boundless great expedients

Respond everywhere throughout the lands of the ten directions;

Those who encounter the Buddha’s pure radiance

All behold the Tathagata’s body.　

供養於諸佛，　　 億剎微塵數，　 功德如虛空，　　 一切所瞻仰。

Making offerings to the Buddhas,

As many as dust motes in billions of realms,

His merit is like empty space,

Revered by all.　

神通力平等，　　 一切剎皆現，　 安坐妙道場，　　 普現眾生前。

With spiritual powers equal and impartial,

He appears in every realm;

Serenely seated at the wondrous bodhimaṇḍa,

He appears before all beings.　

焰雲普照明，　　 種種光圓滿，　 法界無不及，　　 示佛所行處。」

Flaming clouds universally shine,

Myriad lights perfectly complete;

Nowhere in the Dharmadhātu is not reached,

Revealing the places of the Buddha’s conduct.

At that time, the Bodhisattva Mahāsattva Samantabhadra, by his own merits and further empowered by the Tathāgata’s awesome spiritual power, surveyed the ocean-like assemblies of all beings and spoke in verse:

佛所莊嚴廣大剎，　　 等於一切微塵數，　 清淨佛子悉滿中，　　 雨不思議最妙法。　

The Buddha’s vast, adorned realms,

Equal in number to all dust motes,

Are filled with pure Buddha children,

Who rain the most wondrous, inconceivable Dharma.

如於此會見佛坐，　　 一切塵中悉如是，　 佛身無去亦無來，　　 所有國土皆明現。

Just as in this assembly we see the Buddha seated,

So it is within every dust mote:

The Buddha’s body neither comes nor goes,

And all lands are brightly revealed.　

顯示菩薩所修行，　　 無量趣地諸方便，　 及說難思真實理，　　 令諸佛子入法界。

He displays the practices bodhisattvas cultivate,

The immeasurable expedients of paths and stages,

And speaks the inconceivable true principle,

Guiding children of the Buddha into the Dharmadhātu.　

出生化佛如塵數，　　 普應群生心所欲，　 入深法界方便門，　　 廣大無邊悉開演。　

He brings forth transformation-Buddhas as many as dust motes,

Universally responding to the wishes in beings’ hearts,

Entering the deep Dharmadhātu’s gates of expedients,

Expounding them all, vast and without boundary.

如來名號等世間，　　 十方國土悉充遍，　 一切方便無空過，　　 調伏眾生皆離垢。　

The Tathagata’s names, equal to all the world,

Pervade the lands of the ten directions;

None of his expedients are ever in vain—

He tames beings so they cast off all defilements.

佛於一切微塵中，　　 示現無邊大神力，　 悉坐道場能演說，　　 如佛往昔菩提行。

Within every dust mote, the Buddha

Reveals boundless, great spiritual might,

All serenely seated at the site of awakening, expounding

The bodhi-practices he cultivated in ages past.　

三世所有廣大劫，　　 佛念念中皆示現，　 彼諸成壞一切事，　　 不思議智無不了。　

All the vast kalpas of the three times—

In every thought the Buddha displays them,

All matters of their formation and destruction—

His inconceivable wisdom leaves none unknown.

佛子眾會廣無限，　　 欲共測量諸佛地，　 諸佛法門無有邊，　　 能悉了知甚為難。

The assemblies of Buddha-sons are broad beyond limit;

If they would together measure the Buddhas’ ground,

The Buddhas’ Dharma-gates have no end—

To fully know them all is most difficult.　

佛如虛空無分別，　　 等真法界無所依，　 化現周行靡不至，　　 悉坐道場成正覺。　

The Buddha is like space, without distinctions,

Equal to the true Dharmadhātu, reliant on nothing;

His transformations pervade and reach everywhere,

All serenely seated at the bodhimaṇḍa attaining perfect awakening.

佛以妙音廣宣暢，　　 一切諸地皆明了，　 普現一一眾生前，　　 盡與如來平等法。」

With wondrous voice he turns the Dharma wheel,

Pervading the world, unequaled.

Within each mote of dust he establishes a bodhimaṇḍa,

There realizing bodhi and displaying spiritual transformations.

Across hundreds of thousands of immeasurable kalpas;

You should behold the Buddha’s realm of spiritual powers:

All lands in the ten directions are purified and adorned;

All appear right before one,

Each thought different, in measureless ways.

觀佛百千無量劫，　　 不得一毛之分限，　 如來無礙方便門，　　 此光普照難思剎。　

Contemplate the Buddha through hundreds of thousands of immeasurable kalpas—

You will not reach even a hair’s breadth of his limit.

The Tathagata’s unobstructed gates of skillful means—

Their light universally illumines inconceivable realms.

如來往劫在世間，　　 承事無邊諸佛海，　 是故一切如川騖，　　 咸來供養世所尊。

In past kalpas the Tathagata dwelt in the world,

Serving an ocean of boundless Buddhas;

Therefore all, like rushing streams,

Come to make offerings to the World-Honored One.　

如來出現遍十方，　　 一一塵中無量土，　 其中境界皆無量，　　 悉住無邊無盡劫。　

The Tathagata appears throughout the ten directions;

Within each dust mote are immeasurable lands;

The realms within are all immeasurable,

Abiding through boundless, endless kalpas.

佛於曩劫為眾生，　　 修習無邊大悲海，　 隨諸眾生入生死，　　 普化眾會令清淨。　

In former kalpas, for the sake of beings,

The Buddha cultivated the boundless ocean of great compassion,

Following beings into birth and death,

Universally transforming the assemblies and making them pure.

佛住真如法界藏，　　 無相無形離諸垢，　 眾生觀見種種身，　　 一切苦難皆消滅。」

He opens and reveals with nothing held back,

Causing all beings to awaken and enter together.

如佛往昔所修治，　　 乃至成於一切智，　 今放光明遍法界，　　 於中顯現悉明了。　

According to what the Buddha cultivated in former times,

Up to the attainment of omniscience,

He now emits light that pervades the Dharmadhātu,

Within which all manifestations are made clear.

佛以本願現神通，　　 一切十方無不照，　 如佛往昔修治行，　　 光明網中皆演說。

By his original vows the Buddha displays spiritual powers,

By the Buddha’s unobstructed power he casts great light,

And all world-lands appear in full clarity.

爾時，如來師子之座，眾寶、妙華、輪臺、基陛，及諸戶牖，如是一切莊嚴具中，一一各出佛剎微塵數菩薩摩訶薩，其名曰：海慧自在神通王菩薩摩訶薩、雷音普震菩薩摩訶薩、眾寶光明髻菩薩摩訶薩、大智日勇猛慧菩薩摩訶薩、不思議功德寶智印菩薩摩訶薩、百目蓮華髻菩薩摩訶薩、金焰圓滿光菩薩摩訶薩、法界普音菩薩摩訶薩、雲音淨月菩薩摩訶薩、善勇猛光明幢菩薩摩訶薩……。如是等而為上首，有眾多佛剎微塵數同時出現。此諸菩薩，各興種種供養雲，所謂：一切摩尼寶華雲、一切蓮華妙香雲、一切寶圓滿光雲、無邊境界香焰雲、日藏摩尼輪光明雲、一切悅意樂音雲、無邊色相一切寶燈光焰雲、眾寶樹枝華果雲、無盡寶清淨光明摩尼王雲、一切莊嚴具摩尼王雲……。如是等諸供養雲，有佛世界微塵數。彼諸菩薩，一一皆興如是供養雲，雨於一切道場眾海，相續不絕。現是雲已，右遶世尊，經無量百千匝，隨其方面，去佛不遠，化作無量種種寶蓮華師子之座；各於其上，結跏趺坐。是諸菩薩所行清淨廣大如海，得智慧光照普門法，隨順諸佛，所行無礙；能入一切辯才法海，得不思議解脫法門，住於如來普門之地；已得一切陀羅尼門，悉能容受一切法海，善住三世平等智地；已得深信，廣大喜樂，無邊福聚，極善清淨；虛空法界靡不觀察，十方世界一切國土，所有佛興，咸勤供養。

At that time, from the Tathagata’s lion throne, amid all its adornments of many jewels, wondrous flowers, wheel-stands, bases and steps, and its doors and windows—within each and every one of these ornaments—there emerged, in numbers equal to dust motes in Buddha-lands, bodhisattva mahāsattvas. Their names were: Bodhisattva Mahāsattva Ocean-Wisdom Sovereign of Self-Mastery in Spiritual Powers; Bodhisattva Mahāsattva Thunder-Sound Universally Resounding; Bodhisattva Mahāsattva Jeweled Multitude Radiant Topknot; Bodhisattva Mahāsattva Great Wisdom Sun Valiant Intelligence; Bodhisattva Mahāsattva Inconceivable Merit Jeweled Wisdom-Seal; Bodhisattva Mahāsattva Hundred-Eyed Lotus Topknot; Bodhisattva Mahāsattva Golden Flame Perfect Radiance; Bodhisattva Mahāsattva Dharmadhātu Universal Sound; Bodhisattva Mahāsattva Cloud-Sound Pure Moon; Bodhisattva Mahāsattva Good and Valiant Radiant Banner, and so forth. These and the like were the foremost among them, and simultaneously there appeared a number of bodhisattvas as many as dust motes in numerous Buddha-lands.

Each of these bodhisattvas raised up various clouds of offerings, namely: clouds of all maṇi-jeweled blossoms, clouds of all lotus-wondrous fragrances, clouds of all jewels’ perfect radiance, clouds of fragrant flames of boundless domains, clouds of sun-store maṇi-wheel brilliance, clouds of all pleasing and delightful music, clouds of flaming jewel-lamp lights of boundless forms and marks, clouds of jeweled trees with branches, flowers, and fruits, clouds of the king of maṇis of inexhaustible, pure, radiant light, clouds of the king of maṇis of every kind of adornment, and so on. There were clouds of offerings like these in numbers equal to dust motes in a Buddha-world. Each bodhisattva, one by one, raised such clouds of offerings, which rained upon the ocean-like assemblies at every bodhimaṇḍa without interruption.

After manifesting these clouds, they circumambulated the World-Honored One to the right innumerable hundreds of thousands of times, and then, each according to his direction, not far from the Buddha they transformed and produced immeasurable lion thrones of various jeweled lotus seats; upon each they sat cross-legged. The practices of these bodhisattvas were pure, vast like the ocean. They had attained the Dharma of the Universal Gate illumined by the light of wisdom; in complete accord with the Buddhas, their conduct was unobstructed. Able to enter the ocean of all eloquence-Dharmas, they had obtained inconceivable liberation-gates and abided upon the Tathagata’s ground of the Universal Gate. Having attained all dhāraṇī-gates, they could encompass the entire ocean of Dharmas, well established upon the equal wisdom-ground of the three times. They had already obtained deep faith, vast joy, and an unbounded accumulation of blessings, supremely pure and excellent. There was no portion of the space of the Dharmadhātu they did not contemplate: throughout all lands in all worlds of the ten directions, wherever Buddhas appeared, they diligently made offerings.

爾時，海慧自在神通王菩薩摩訶薩，承佛威力，普觀一切道場眾海，即說頌言：

At that time, the Bodhisattva Mahāsattva Ocean-Wisdom Sovereign of Self-Mastery in Spiritual Powers, empowered by the Buddha’s might, surveyed the ocean-like assemblies at all the bodhimaṇḍas and spoke in verse:

諸佛所悟悉已知，　　 如空無礙皆明照，　 光遍十方無量土，　　 處於眾會普嚴潔。　

All that the Buddhas have realized I already know;

Like space, unhindered, it shines in clarity.

Its light pervades immeasurable lands in the ten directions,

Purifying and adorning all assemblies everywhere.

如來功德不可量，　　 十方法界悉充滿，　 普坐一切樹王下，　　 諸大自在共雲集。　

The Tathagata’s merits are beyond measure,

Filling the Dharmadhātu of the ten directions.

He universally sits beneath every king of trees,

While all great Lords of Self-Mastery gather like clouds.

佛有如是神通力，　　 一念現於無盡相，　 如來境界無有邊，　　 各隨解脫能觀見。　

Such is the Buddha’s power of spiritual mastery:

In a single thought he displays inexhaustible forms.

The Tathagata’s realm has no boundary;

Each beholds it according to his own liberation.

如來往昔經劫海，　　 在於諸有勤修行，　 種種方便化眾生，　　 令彼受行諸佛法。　

Across oceanic kalpas in former times,

The Tathagata, in all modes of existence, diligently cultivated,

By manifold skillful means transforming beings,

Causing them to receive and practice the Buddhas’ Dharma.

毘盧遮那具嚴好，　　 坐蓮華藏師子座，　 一切眾會皆清淨，　　 寂然而住同瞻仰。

Vairocana, fully endowed with splendid marks,

Sits upon the Lion Seat of the Lotus Treasury.

All the assemblies are pure and clear,

Abiding in silence, gazing up in unison.　

摩尼寶藏放光明，　　 普發無邊香焰雲，　 無量華纓共垂布，　　 如是座上如來坐。

From the treasury of maṇi jewels there shines a radiance,

Universally issuing boundless clouds of fragrant flames;

Innumerable flower garlands hang and drape—

Thus does the Tathagata sit upon this seat.　

種種嚴飾吉祥門，　　 恒放燈光寶焰雲，　 廣大熾然無不照，　　 牟尼處上增嚴好。　

Auspicious gates of manifold adornments

Constantly emit clouds of lamp-light and jeweled flames;

Vastly blazing, leaving nothing unillumined,

They further enhance the Sage’s splendid seat.

種種摩尼綺麗窓，　　 妙寶蓮華所垂飾，　 恒出妙音聞者悅，　　 佛坐其上特明顯。　

Windows of many-hued maṇis, exquisitely wrought,

Adorned with wondrous jeweled lotuses,

Constantly emit wondrous sounds that delight the hearer;

Upon them the Buddha sits, supremely manifest.

寶輪承座半月形，　　 金剛為臺色焰明，　 持髻菩薩常圍遶，　　 佛在其中最光耀。　

Jeweled wheels support the seat in a half-moon form;

A vajra dais glows with radiant hues.

Topknot-bearing bodhisattvas ever encircle him;

Among them the Buddha shines most brilliantly.

種種變化滿十方，　　 演說如來廣大願，　 一切影像於中現，　　 如是座上佛安坐。」

Transformations of every kind fill the ten directions,

Proclaiming the Tathagata’s vast, great vows;

All reflections and images appear within—

Thus, upon this seat, the Buddha sits at ease.

爾時，雷音普震菩薩摩訶薩，承佛威力，普觀一切道場眾海，即說頌言：

At that time, the Bodhisattva Mahāsattva Thunder-Sound Universally Resounding, empowered by the Buddha’s spiritual might, surveyed the ocean-like assemblies at all bodhimaṇḍas and spoke in verse:

世尊往集菩提行，　　 供養十方無量佛，　 善逝威力所加持，　　 如來座中無不覩。

The World-Honored One once gathered the practices of bodhi,

Made offerings to immeasurable Buddhas of the ten directions;

Empowered by the might of the Well-Gone Ones,

There is none not seen upon the Tathagata’s seat.　

香焰摩尼如意王，　　 填飾妙華師子座，　 種種莊嚴皆影現，　　 一切眾會悉明矚。　

Wish-fulfilling maṇi kings of fragrant flame

Inlay and adorn the wondrous flower lion-throne;

Every kind of adornment casts its reflection,

And all the assemblies gaze on it with clarity.

佛座普現莊嚴相，　　 念念色類各差別，　 隨諸眾生解不同，　　 各見佛坐於其上。

The Buddha’s seat universally displays adornment marks;

From thought to thought its hues and kinds all differ.

According to each being’s distinct understanding,

Each beholds the Buddha seated upon it.　

寶枝垂布蓮華網，　　 華開踊現諸菩薩，　 各出微妙悅意聲，　　 稱讚如來坐於座。

Jeweled boughs hang down a net of lotuses;

As the flowers open, bodhisattvas spring forth,

Each issuing subtle, delightful sounds,

Praising the Tathagata seated on the throne.　

佛功德量如虛空，　　 一切莊嚴從此生，　 一一地中嚴飾事，　　 一切眾生不能了。

The measure of the Buddha’s merit is like space;

From it arise all adornments.

The adornments within each level of the ground—

No sentient being can fully comprehend.　

金剛為地無能壞，　　 廣博清淨極夷坦，　 摩尼為網垂布空，　　 菩提樹下皆周遍。

The earth of vajra none can damage,

Vast, pure, and perfectly level;

A maṇi net hangs and drapes the sky,

Pervading beneath the Bodhi Tree.　

其地無邊色相殊，　　 真金為末布其中，　 普散名華及眾寶，　　 悉以光瑩如來座。　

The ground, boundless, with differing colors and forms—

Genuine gold, as dust, is spread within;

Famed flowers and many jewels are scattered everywhere,

All casting their luster upon the Tathagata’s seat.

地神歡喜而踊躍，　　 剎那示現無有盡，　 普興一切莊嚴雲，　　 恒在佛前瞻仰住。　

Earth-spirits, joyful, leap and exult;

In an instant they manifest without end,

Raising universally all clouds of adornment,

Ever before the Buddha, gazing in reverence.

寶燈廣大極熾然，　　 香焰流光無斷絕，　 隨時示現各差別，　　 地神以此為供養。

Great jeweled lamps blaze in fullness;

Fragrant flames stream light without cease;

At every moment they show distinctive displays—

With these, the earth-spirits make their offerings.　

十方一切剎土中，　　 彼地所有諸莊嚴，　 今此道場無不現，　　 以佛威神故能爾。」

In all the lands of the ten directions,

Whatever adornments exist upon those grounds,

Appear without omission in this very bodhimaṇḍa—

Such is wrought by the Buddha’s awesome spiritual power.

爾時，眾寶光明髻菩薩摩訶薩，承佛威力，普觀一切道場眾海，即說頌言：

At that time, the Bodhisattva Mahāsattva Jeweled Multitude Radiant Topknot, empowered by the Buddha’s spiritual power, surveyed the ocean-like assemblies at all bodhimaṇḍas and spoke in verse:

世尊往昔修行時，　　 見諸佛土皆圓滿，　 如是所見地無盡，　　 此道場中皆顯現。　

When the World-Honored One cultivated in former times,

He beheld all Buddha-lands as fully perfected;

The grounds he thus perceived were without end,

And all appear here within this bodhimaṇḍa.

世尊廣大神通力，　　 舒光普雨摩尼寶，　 如是寶藏散道場，　　 其地周迴悉嚴麗。

By the Tathagata’s vast power of spiritual mastery,

He extends light and universally rains down maṇi-jewels;

Thus are treasure-stores scattered across the bodhimaṇḍa,

And all the surrounding ground is richly adorned.　

如來福德神通力，　　 摩尼妙寶普莊嚴，　 其地及以菩提樹，　　 遞發光音而演說。　

By the Tathagata’s meritorious power of spiritual mastery,

Wondrous maṇi jewels adorn everywhere;

From the ground and from the Bodhi Tree alike

Light and sound arise in turn to proclaim the Dharma.

寶燈無量從空雨，　　 寶王間錯為嚴飾，　 悉吐微妙演法音，　　 如是地神之所現。　

Innumerable jeweled lamps rain down from the sky,

Jeweled kings interlaced as splendid ornaments;

All emit subtle tones expounding Dharma—

Such are the displays of the earth-spirits.

寶地普現妙光雲，　　 寶炬焰明如電發，　 寶網遐張覆其上，　　 寶枝雜布為嚴好。

Across the jeweled ground appear clouds of wondrous light,

Jeweled torches blaze forth like lightning;

A jeweled net is spread afar as a canopy,

Jeweled branches woven everywhere as adornment.　

汝等普觀於此地，　　 種種妙寶所莊嚴，　 顯示眾生諸業海，　　 令彼了知真法性。　

Behold, all of you, this ground throughout,

Adorned with every kind of wondrous jewel;

It reveals the ocean of beings’ karmic deeds,

So they may realize the true nature of Dharma.

普遍十方一切佛，　　 所有圓滿菩提樹，　 莫不皆現道場中，　　 演說如來清淨法。　

Throughout the ten directions, all Buddhas

And their perfectly complete Bodhi Trees

All appear within this very bodhimaṇḍa,

Proclaiming the Tathagata’s pure Dharma.

隨諸眾生心所樂，　　 其地普出妙音聲，　 如佛座上所應演，　　 一一法門咸具說。　

According to the delights within beings’ minds,

This ground universally issues wondrous sounds,

And, as befits the Buddha’s throne above,

Every Dharma-gate is fully explained.

其地恒出妙香光，　　 光中普演清淨音，　 若有眾生堪受法，　　 悉使得聞煩惱滅。

From this ground constantly issues fragrant light,

Within the light the purest tones are heard;

If there are beings fit to receive the Dharma,

All are caused to hear, and their afflictions cease.　

一一莊嚴悉圓滿，　　 假使億劫無能說，　 如來神力靡不周，　　 是故其地皆嚴淨。」

Each and every adornment is fully perfected;

Though billions of kalpas would not suffice to tell them,

The Tathagata’s spiritual power pervades without remainder—

Therefore this ground is wholly pure and adorned.

爾時，大智日勇猛慧菩薩摩訶薩，承佛威力，普觀一切道場眾海，即說頌言：

At that time, the Bodhisattva Mahāsattva Great Wisdom Sun Valiant Intelligence, empowered by the Buddha’s spiritual power, surveyed the ocean-like assemblies at all bodhimaṇḍas and spoke in verse:

世尊凝睟處法堂，　　 炳然照耀宮殿中，　 隨諸眾生心所樂，　　 其身普現十方土。　

The World-Honored One, serene and radiant, abides in the Dharma hall,

Brilliantly illumining the palaces;

According to the delights within beings’ hearts,

His body appears throughout the lands of the ten directions.

如來宮殿不思議，　　 摩尼寶藏為嚴飾，　 諸莊嚴具咸光耀，　　 佛坐其中特明顯。　

The Tathagata’s palaces are inconceivable,

Adorned with treasuries of maṇi jewels;

All the ornaments shine with light—

The Buddha sits within, supremely manifest.

摩尼為柱種種色，　　 真金鈴鐸如雲布，　 寶階四面列成行，　　 門闥隨方咸洞啟。　

Maṇi jewels serve as pillars of many hues,

True-gold bells and chimes are spread like clouds;

Jeweled stairways stand on every side,

And gates and doors swing open to every quarter.

妙華繒綺莊嚴帳，　　 寶樹枝條共嚴飾，　 摩尼瓔珞四面垂，　　 智海於中湛然坐。　

Canopies adorned with wondrous flowers and brocade,

Jeweled trees with spreading branches as adornment;

Maṇi necklaces hang down on all four sides—

The Ocean of Wisdom sits within, serene.

摩尼為網妙香幢，　　 光焰燈明若雲布，　 覆以種種莊嚴具，　　 超世正知於此坐。

Maṇi nets and wondrous fragrant banners,

Lamps of blazing radiance spread like clouds,

Covered with manifold ornaments—

Here sits the supramundane knower of truth.　

十方普現變化雲，　　 其雲演說遍世間，　 一切眾生悉調伏，　　 如是皆從佛宮現。　

Transformation-clouds appear throughout the ten directions;

These clouds proclaim the Dharma across the world;

All sentient beings are tamed—

Such displays arise from the Buddha’s palace.

摩尼為樹發妙華，　　 十方所有無能匹，　 三世國土莊嚴事，　　 莫不於中現其影。

Trees of maṇi jewels bring forth wondrous blossoms,

Unmatched in all the ten directions;

The adornments of the lands of the three times—

Their reflections all appear herein.　

處處皆有摩尼聚，　　 光焰熾然無量種，　 門牖隨方相間開，　　 棟宇莊嚴極殊麗。

Everywhere there are clusters of maṇi jewels,

With radiant flames of measureless kinds;

Doors and windows open to every side,

The pavilions adorned in utmost splendor.　

如來宮殿不思議，　　 清淨光明具眾相，　 一切宮殿於中現，　　 一一皆有如來坐。　

The Tathagata’s palaces are inconceivable,

Pure and luminous, endowed with all marks;

All palaces appear within them—

In each and every one a Tathagata is seated.

如來宮殿無有邊，　　 自然覺者處其中，　 十方一切諸眾會，　　 莫不向佛而來集。」

The Tathagata’s palaces are without boundary;

The Self-Awakened One dwells within;

All the assemblies in the ten directions

Without exception gather toward the Buddha.

爾時，不思議功德寶智印菩薩摩訶薩，承佛威力，普觀一切道場眾海，即說頌言：

At that time, the Bodhisattva Mahāsattva Inconceivable Merit Jeweled Wisdom-Seal, empowered by the Buddha’s spiritual might, surveyed the ocean-like assemblies at all bodhimaṇḍas and spoke in verse:

佛昔修治眾福海，　　 一切剎土微塵數，　 神通願力所出生，　　 道場嚴淨無諸垢。　

In former times the Buddha cultivated an ocean of myriad merits,

As many as the dust motes of all realms;

By the power of his vows and spiritual mastery they arose,

So the bodhimaṇḍa was adorned and pure, without any stain.

如意珠王作樹根，　　 金剛摩尼以為身，　 寶網遐施覆其上，　　 妙香氛氳共旋繞。

Wish-fulfilling jewel-kings formed the roots of the tree,

Its trunk was vajra maṇi;

A jeweled net was spread wide above it,

Encircled by eddying waves of wondrous fragrance.　

樹枝嚴飾備眾寶，　　 摩尼為幹爭聳擢，　 枝條密布如重雲，　　 佛於其下坐道場。　

Its branches were richly adorned with every kind of jewel,

The trunk of maṇi jewels rose lofty in contest;

The boughs spread densely like layered clouds—

Beneath them the Buddha sat at the site of awakening.

道場廣大不思議，　　 其樹周迴盡彌覆，　 密葉繁華相庇映，　　 華中悉結摩尼果。

The bodhimaṇḍa was vast beyond conception,

Its tree completely covered the surrounding expanse;

Dense leaves and abundant blossoms shaded one another,

And within the flowers all were set with maṇi fruits.　

一切枝間發妙光，　　 其光遍照道場中，　 清淨熾然無有盡，　　 以佛願力如斯覩。　

From every branch issued wondrous light,

Whose radiance filled the entire bodhimaṇḍa,

Pure, blazing, and without end—

Thus it is beheld by the Buddha’s vow-power.

摩尼寶藏以為華，　　 布影騰輝若綺雲，　 匝樹垂芳無不遍，　　 於道場中普嚴飾。

Treasure-stores of maṇi served as blossoms,

Casting patterned gleams like embroidered clouds;

Fragrance hung in garlands around the whole tree,

Adorning the bodhimaṇḍa everywhere.　

汝觀善逝道場中，　　 蓮華寶網俱清淨，　 光焰成輪從此現，　　 鈴音鐸響雲間發。　

Behold within the Well-Gone One’s bodhimaṇḍa:

Lotus and jeweled nets are both utterly pure;

From them appear flaming wheels of light,

While bells and chimes resound from the clouds.

十方一切國土中，　　 所有妙色莊嚴樹，　 菩提樹中無不現，　　 佛於其下離眾垢。

In all lands of the ten directions,

Whatever wondrous, multicolored, adorned trees there are,

All appear within this Bodhi Tree,

And beneath it the Buddha is free of every stain.　

道場廣大福所成，　　 樹枝雨寶恒無盡，　 寶中出現諸菩薩，　　 悉往十方供事佛。　

The bodhimaṇḍa, vast, is wrought from merit;

Its branches rain down jewels without end;

From within the jewels bodhisattvas appear,

All going to the ten directions to attend upon the Buddhas.

諸佛境界不思議，　　 普令其樹出樂音，　 如昔所集菩提道，　　 眾會聞音咸得見。」

The Buddhas’ realm is inconceivable:

It causes this tree to issue joyful music;

As in former times he gathered the path to bodhi,

So do the assemblies, hearing these sounds, all gain vision.

爾時，百目蓮華髻菩薩摩訶薩，承佛威力，普觀一切道場眾海，即說頌言：

At that time, the Bodhisattva Mahāsattva Hundred-Eyed Lotus Topknot, empowered by the Buddha’s spiritual power, surveyed the ocean-like assemblies at all bodhimaṇḍas and spoke in verse:

一切摩尼出妙音，　　 稱揚三世諸佛名，　 彼佛無量神通事，　　 此道場中皆現覩。

From all maṇi jewels arise wondrous sounds,

Proclaiming the names of Buddhas of the three times;

Their immeasurable deeds of spiritual power

Are all made manifest in this bodhimaṇḍa.　

眾華競發如纓布，　　 光雲流演遍十方，　 菩提樹神持向佛，　　 一心瞻仰為供養。

Myriad flowers burst forth like pendant garlands,

Clouds of light stream and spread through the ten directions;

The spirits of the Bodhi Tree present them to the Buddha,

Single‑heartedly gazing in veneration as an offering.　

摩尼光焰悉成幢，　　 幢中熾然發妙香，　 其香普熏一切眾，　　 是故其處皆嚴潔。

Maṇi radiances all become banners;

Within the banners blazing fragrances arise;

Their scent pervades all living beings,

Thus this place is wholly pure and adorned.　

蓮華垂布金色光，　　 其光演佛妙聲雲，　 普蔭十方諸剎土，　　 永息眾生煩惱熱。　

Lotuses hang in arrays of golden light;

From that light come clouds of the Buddha’s wondrous sound,

Shading the lands of the ten directions,

Forever quelling the heat of beings’ afflictions.

菩提樹王自在力，　　 常放光明極清淨，　 十方眾會無有邊，　　 莫不影現道場中。

By the sovereign power of the Bodhi‑Tree King,

There constantly shines supremely pure light;

The assemblies of the ten directions are without limit—

All appear in reflection within the bodhimaṇḍa.　

寶枝光焰若明燈，　　 其光演音宣大願，　 如佛往昔於諸有，　　 本所修行皆具說。　

Jeweled branches blaze like shining lamps;

Their light gives forth tones declaring great vows,

Fully recounting, as the Buddha did in former lives,

The practices he originally cultivated.

樹下諸神剎塵數，　　 悉共依於此道場，　 各各如來道樹前，　　 念念宣揚解脫門。

Beneath the tree are spirits as numerous as world‑dust motes,

All relying together on this bodhimaṇḍa;

Before each Tathāgata’s Tree of the Way,

From thought to thought they proclaim the gates of liberation.　

世尊往昔修諸行，　　 供養一切諸如來，　 本所修行及名聞，　　 摩尼寶中皆悉現。　

The World‑Honored One’s former cultivated practices,

His offerings to all the Tathāgatas,

His original practices and his renown—

All appear fully within the maṇi jewels.

道場一切出妙音，　　 其音廣大遍十方，　 若有眾生堪受法，　　 莫不調伏令清淨。

From the entire bodhimaṇḍa issue wondrous sounds,

Their vast tones pervading the ten directions;

Any beings fit to receive the Dharma

Are without exception tamed and made pure.　

如來往昔普修治，　　 一切無量莊嚴事，　 十方一切菩提樹，　　 一一莊嚴無量種。」

What the Tathāgata universally cultivated in ages past—

All the measureless works of adornment—

At every Bodhi Tree in the ten directions,

Each is adorned with immeasurable varieties.

爾時，金焰圓滿光菩薩摩訶薩，承佛威力，普觀一切道場眾海，即說頌言：

At that time, the Bodhisattva Mahāsattva Golden Flame Perfect Radiance, empowered by the Buddha’s spiritual power, surveyed the ocean-like assemblies at all bodhimaṇḍas and spoke in verse:

佛昔修習菩提行，　　 於諸境界解明了，　 處與非處淨無疑，　　 此是如來初智力。

In former times the Buddha cultivated the practices of bodhi,

Clearly understanding all realms;

In what is proper and improper he was purely without doubt—

This is the Tathagata’s initial power of wisdom.　

如昔等觀諸法性，　　 一切業海皆明徹，　 如是今於光網中，　　 普遍十方能具演。

As he once equally contemplated the nature of all dharmas,

He thoroughly knew the entire ocean of karma;

Thus now, within the net of light,

He can fully display it throughout the ten directions.　

往劫修治大方便，　　 隨眾生根而化誘，　 普使眾會心清淨，　　 故佛能成根智力。

Across past kalpas he cultivated great skillful means,

Guiding and transforming according to beings’ faculties,

Universally purifying the minds of the assemblies—

Therefore the Buddha perfects the power of wisdom regarding faculties.　

如諸眾生解不同，　　 欲樂諸行各差別，　 隨其所應為說法，　　 佛以智力能如是。

Since beings’ understandings differ,

Their desires and practices are each distinct;

According to what is appropriate he expounds the Dharma—

By his wisdom-power the Buddha does so.　

普盡十方諸剎海，　　 所有一切眾生界，　 佛智平等如虛空，　　 悉能顯現毛孔中。

Throughout the ocean of realms in the ten directions,

Across all domains of sentient beings,

The Buddha’s wisdom, equal like space,

Can reveal them all within his pores.　

一切處行佛盡知，　　 一念三世畢無餘，　 十方剎劫眾生時，　　 悉能開示令現了。　

The Buddha fully knows all places and activities;

In a single thought he encompasses the three times;

The eras of beings and kalpas in the ten-direction worlds—

He reveals them all and makes them clearly manifest.

禪定解脫力無邊，　　 三昧方便亦復然，　 佛為示現令歡喜，　　 普使滌除煩惱闇。　

His powers of meditation and liberation are boundless,

And likewise the expedients of samadhi;

The Buddha manifests them to bring joy,

Universally washing away the darkness of afflictions.

佛智無礙包三世，　　 剎那悉現毛孔中，　 佛法國土及眾生，　　 所現皆由隨念力。

The Buddha’s unobstructed wisdom embraces the three times;

In an instant all appears within his pores—

The Buddha-Dharma, lands, and living beings,

All manifest by the power of his mindful intention.　

佛眼廣大如虛空，　　 普見法界盡無餘，　 無礙地中無等用，　　 彼眼無量佛能演。

The Buddha-eye is vast like empty space,

Universally seeing the Dharmadhātu in full;

On the unobstructed ground its peerless function—

Of that eye’s measureless uses, the Buddhas can expound.　

一切眾生具諸結，　　 所有隨眠與習氣，　 如來出現遍世間，　　 悉以方便令除滅。」

All beings are bound by various fetters,

By latent tendencies and habit-energies;

The Tathagata appears throughout the world,

By skillful means causing them all to be eradicated.

爾時，法界普音菩薩摩訶薩，承佛威力，普觀一切道場眾會海已，即說頌言：

At that time, the Bodhisattva Mahāsattva Dharma-Realm Universal Sound, empowered by the Buddha’s spiritual might, surveyed the ocean-like assemblies at all bodhimaṇḍas and spoke in verse:

佛威神力遍十方，　　 廣大示現無分別，　 大菩提行波羅蜜，　　 昔所滿足皆令見。　

By the Buddha’s awesome spiritual power that pervades the ten directions,

He vastly manifests without discrimination;

The great bodhi practices, the pāramitās he fulfilled of old,

He now lets all behold in full.

昔於眾生起大悲，　　 修行布施波羅蜜，　 以是其身最殊妙，　　 能令見者生歡喜。　

Formerly, toward beings he raised great compassion,

Cultivating the pāramitā of giving;

Thus his body became supremely wondrous,

Causing all who see to give rise to joy.

昔在無邊大劫海，　　 修治淨戒波羅蜜，　 故獲淨身遍十方，　　 普滅世間諸重苦。

In the boundless ocean of vast kalpas of the past

He cultivated the pāramitā of pure precepts;

Therefore he gained a pure body that pervades the ten directions,

Universally ending all the world’s grievous sufferings.　

往昔修行忍清淨，　　 信解真實無分別，　 是故色相皆圓滿，　　 普放光明照十方。　

In former times he cultivated purity in patience,

With faith and understanding of the true, undifferentiated;

Therefore his marks and features are all perfected,

Universally emitting light that shines through the ten directions.

往昔勤修多劫海，　　 能轉眾生深重障，　 故能分身遍十方，　　 悉現菩提樹王下。

Through diligent cultivation across oceans of kalpas,

He could transform beings’ deep and heavy obstacles;

Thus he can manifest bodies throughout the ten directions,

All appearing beneath the king of Bodhi trees.　

佛久修行無量劫，　　 禪定大海普清淨，　 故令見者深歡喜，　　 煩惱障垢悉除滅。　

For immeasurable kalpas the Buddha cultivated long,

The great ocean of meditative concentration made wholly pure;

Therefore those who behold him rejoice profoundly,

And the stains and obstacles of affliction are all extinguished.

如來往修諸行海，　　 具足般若波羅蜜，　 是故舒光普照明，　　 克殄一切愚癡暗。　

Across the ocean of practices the Tathagata once cultivated,

He perfected the pāramitā of prajñā;

Therefore he spreads light to illumine universally,

Cutting down all the darkness of ignorance.

種種方便化眾生，　　 令所修治悉成就，　 一切十方皆遍往，　　 無邊際劫不休息。

By manifold expedients he transforms living beings,

Bringing every cultivated practice to completion;

He goes everywhere to the ten directions,

Through boundless kalpas without repose.　

佛昔修行大劫海，　　 淨治諸願波羅蜜，　 是故出現遍世間，　　 盡未來際救眾生。　

In former ages the Buddha cultivated across great kalpas,

Purifying and fulfilling the pāramitā of vows;

Therefore he appears throughout the world,

Saving beings to the very end of future time.

佛無量劫廣修治，　　 一切法力波羅蜜，　 由是能成自然力，　　 普現十方諸國土。　

Across immeasurable kalpas the Buddha broadly cultivated

The pāramitā of the powers of all dharmas;

Thus he attained spontaneous mastery,

Universally manifesting in the lands of the ten directions.

佛昔修治普門智，　　 一切智性如虛空，　 是故得成無礙力，　　 舒光普照十方剎。」

Formerly the Buddha cultivated the wisdom of the Universal Gate;

His omniscient nature is like space;

Therefore he attained unobstructed power,

Extending light that universally illumines the realms of the ten directions

爾時，雲音淨月菩薩摩訶薩，承佛威力，普觀一切道場眾會海已，即說頌言：At that time, the Bodhisattva Mahāsattva Cloud-Sound Pure Moon, empowered by the Buddha’s spiritual power, surveyed the ocean-like assemblies at all bodhimaṇḍas and spoke in verse:

神通境界等虛空，　　 十方眾生靡不見，　 如昔修行所成地，　　 摩尼果中咸具說。

The realm of spiritual powers is equal to space;

Beings of the ten directions all behold it.

The stages accomplished by former cultivation

Are fully proclaimed within the maṇi fruits.　

清淨勤修無量劫，　　 入於初地極歡喜，　 出生法界廣大智，　　 普見十方無量佛。　

Through pure, diligent practice for immeasurable kalpas,

One enters the First Ground, the ground of extreme joy,

Bringing forth vast wisdom of the Dharmadhātu,

Universally seeing immeasurable Buddhas in the ten directions.

一切法中離垢地，　　 等眾生數持淨戒，　 已於多劫廣修行，　　 供養無邊諸佛海。　

On the Stainless Ground among all dharmas,

One upholds pure precepts equal in number to beings;

Across many kalpas one has broadly cultivated,

Making offerings to a boundless ocean of Buddhas.

積集福德發光地，　　 奢摩他藏堅固忍，　 法雲廣大悉已聞，　　 摩尼果中如是說。

On the Luminous Ground where amassed merit gives forth light,

With the treasury of śamatha and firm patience,

The vast Dharma-cloud has been fully heard—

Thus is it spoken within the maṇi fruits.　

焰海慧明無等地，　　 善了境界起慈悲，　 一切國土平等身，　　 如佛所治皆演暢。

On the Incomparable Ground of blazing ocean-like wisdom,

Well understanding realms, one gives rise to compassion;

With a body equal throughout all lands,

One proclaims all as the Buddha has taught.　

普藏等門難勝地，　　 動寂相順無違反，　 佛法境界悉平等，　　 如佛所淨皆能說。

On the Hard-to-Conquer Ground of universal treasuries and equal gates,

Movement and stillness accord without conflict;

The Buddha-Dharma’s realms are utterly equal—

As the Buddha has purified, so can one expound.　

廣大修行慧海地，　　 一切法門咸遍了，　 普現國土如虛空，　　 樹中演暢此法音。

On the Far-Going Ground of vast cultivation, a sea of wisdom,

All Dharma-gates are thoroughly understood;

Lands appear universally like empty space,

And within the tree this Dharma-sound is proclaimed.　

周遍法界虛空身，　　 普照眾生智慧燈，　 一切方便皆清淨，　　 昔所遠行令具演。　

With a body pervading the Dharmadhātu and empty space,

One universally illumines beings with the lamp of wisdom;

All expedients are made pure,

And the Far-Wandering practices of old are fully displayed.

一切願行所莊嚴，　　 無量剎海皆清淨，　 所有分別無能動，　　 此無等地咸宣說。

Adorned by all vows and practices,

Measureless oceans of realms are purified;

No discriminations can disturb them—

Thus is the Peerless Ground universally declared.　

無量境界神通力，　　 善入教法光明力，　 此是清淨善慧地，　　 劫海所行皆備闡。

With spiritual powers over measureless realms,

Well entering the luminous power of the teaching,

This is the Pure Good-Wisdom Ground,

Where deeds across oceanic kalpas are fully expounded.　

法雲廣大第十地，　　 含藏一切遍虛空，　 諸佛境界聲中演，　　 此聲是佛威神力。」

On the Tenth Ground, the Great Dharma-Cloud,

Containing all and pervading space,

It is proclaimed within the voices of the Buddhas’ realms—

This voice is the Buddha’s awesome spiritual power.

爾時，善勇猛光幢菩薩摩訶薩，承佛威神，觀察十方，即說頌言：

At that time, the Bodhisattva Mahāsattva Good and Valiant Radiant Banner, empowered by the Buddha’s awesome spiritual power, surveyed the ten directions and spoke in verse:

無量眾生處會中，　　 種種信解心清淨，　 悉能悟入如來智，　　 了達一切莊嚴境。　

Within assemblies where immeasurable beings gather,

Their various understandings pure at heart,

All can awaken and enter the Tathagata’s wisdom,

Comprehending every realm of adornment.

各起淨願修諸行，　　 悉曾供養無量佛，　 能見如來真實體，　　 及以一切諸神變。

Each raises pure vows and cultivates many practices,

All having made offerings to immeasurable Buddhas;

They can behold the Tathagata’s true body

And all his manifold spiritual transformations.　

或有能見佛法身，　　 無等無礙普周遍，　 所有無邊諸法性，　　 悉入其身無不盡。

Some can see the Buddha’s Dharma Body,

Peerless, unobstructed, pervading everywhere;

All boundless natures of dharmas

Enter his body without remainder.　

或有見佛妙色身，　　 無邊色相光熾然，　 隨諸眾生解不同，　　 種種變現十方中。

Some behold the Buddha’s wondrous form-body,

Its boundless marks ablaze with light;

According to beings’ differing understandings,

He manifests in many ways throughout the ten directions.　

或見無礙智慧身，　　 三世平等如虛空，　 普隨眾生心樂轉，　　 種種差別皆令見。

Some behold the unobstructed body of wisdom,

Equal to the three times, like empty space;

Universally following beings’ heart-delights,

He shows every diverse appearance to be seen.　

或有能了佛音聲，　　 普遍十方諸國土，　 隨諸眾生所應解，　　 為出言音無障礙。　

Some can discern the Buddha’s voice in Dharma,

Pervading the lands of the ten directions;

According to each being’s apt understanding,

His uttered speech is free of all obstruction.

或見如來種種光，　　 種種照耀遍世間，　 或有於佛光明中，　　 復見諸佛現神通。

Some behold the Tathagata’s various lights,

In myriad radiances that illumine the world;

And some, within the Buddha’s very light,

See other Buddhas displaying spiritual powers.　

或有見佛海雲光，　　 從毛孔出色熾然，　 示現往昔修行道，　　 令生深信入佛智。

Some behold the Buddha’s ocean-cloud light,

Issuing blazing hues from every pore,

Revealing the paths he cultivated of old,

Arousing deep faith to enter Buddha-wisdom.　

或見佛相福莊嚴，　　 及見此福所從生，　 往昔修行諸度海，　　 皆佛相中明了見。

Some behold the Buddha’s marks, adorned by merit,

And see as well the source from which that merit springs—

The oceans of perfections he once cultivated—

All clearly visible within the Buddha’s marks.　

如來功德不可量，　　 充滿法界無邊際，　 及以神通諸境界，　　 以佛力故能宣說。」

The Tathagata’s merits are beyond measure,

Filling the boundless Dharmadhātu;

As for the realms of his spiritual powers,

By the Buddha’s power they can be proclaimed.

爾時，華藏莊嚴世界海，以佛神力，其地一切六種、十八相震動。所謂：動、遍動、普遍動；起、遍起、普遍起；涌、遍涌、普遍涌；震、遍震、普遍震；吼、遍吼、普遍吼；擊、遍擊、普遍擊。此諸世主，一一皆現不思議諸供養雲，雨於如來道場眾海。所謂：一切香華莊嚴雲、一切摩尼妙飾雲、一切寶焰華網雲、無邊種類摩尼寶圓光雲、一切眾色寶真珠藏雲、一切寶栴檀香雲、一切寶蓋雲、清淨妙聲摩尼王雲、日光摩尼瓔珞輪雲、一切寶光明藏雲、一切各別莊嚴具雲……。如是等諸供養雲，其數無量不可思議。此諸世主，一一皆現如是供養雲，雨於如來道場眾海，靡不周遍。如此世界中，一一世主，心生歡喜，如是供養；其華藏莊嚴世界海中，一切世界所有世主，悉亦如是而為供養。其一切世界中，悉有如來坐於道場；一一世主，各各信解，各各所緣，各各三昧方便門，各各修習助道法，各各成就，各各歡喜，各各趣入，各各悟解諸法門，各各入如來神通境界，各各入如來力境界，各各入如來解脫門。如於此華藏世界海，十方盡法界、虛空界、一切世界海中，悉亦如是。

At that time, through the Buddha's spiritual power, the ground of the Flower Treasury Adornment Ocean of Worlds shook in six ways and eighteen aspects, namely: moving, universally moving, completely moving; rising, universally rising, completely rising; surging, universally surging, completely surging; quaking, universally quaking, completely quaking; roaring, universally roaring, completely roaring; striking, universally striking, completely striking.

All these world leaders each manifested inconceivable clouds of offerings, raining down upon the ocean of assemblies at the Buddha's site of enlightenment. These included: clouds of all fragrant flowers and adornments, clouds of all wonderful mani jewel ornaments, clouds of all jeweled flame flower nets, clouds of boundless types of mani jewel perfect lights, clouds of all colored jewels and pearl treasuries, clouds of all jeweled sandalwood incense, clouds of all jeweled canopies, clouds of pure wonderful sound mani kings, clouds of sun-light mani pearl necklace wheels, clouds of all jewel light treasuries, clouds of all distinct ornaments...

Each of these world leaders manifested such offering clouds, raining them down upon the ocean of assemblies at the Buddha's site of enlightenment, pervading everywhere. Just as the world leaders in this world made such offerings with joyful hearts, all the world leaders in every world within the Flower Treasury Adorned World Ocean also made offerings in this way.

In all these worlds, there was a Buddha seated at the site of enlightenment. Each world leader had their own faith and understanding, their own objects of focus, their own samadhi gateways, their own cultivation of auxiliary practices, their own accomplishments, their own joys, their own entries, their own comprehension of dharma gates, their own entry into the Buddha's spiritual powers, their own entry into the Buddha's powers, and their own entry into the Buddha's liberation gates.

Just as in this Flower Treasury Ocean of Worlds, so too was it in all world oceans throughout the ten directions to the ends of the Dharmadhātu and space.
