Then ten great bodhisattvas from the ten directions arrive, each attended by bodhisattvas as numerous as the atoms in a buddha kṣetra. Their names were:
- Vajra-dhvaja Bodhisattva (Vajra Banner) - the leader of the Fifth Assembly
- Dṛḍha-dhvaja (Steadfast Banner)
- ‘Brave’-dhvaja
- Prabhā-dhvaja (Banner of light)
- Jñāna-dhvaja (Knowledge Banner)
- Ratna-dhvaja (Jewel Banner)
- Virya-dhvaja (Banner of Determination)
- Vimala-dhavaja (Stainless Banner)
- Nakṣatrā-dhavaja (Constellation Banner)
- Dharma-dhavaja
The physical body is not the Buddha, Neither is the audible voice: Yet not apart from form and sound Can Buddha's mystic power be perceived
By comprehending (通達) all things Does one become a true child of Buddha: Such a person can know The Buddhas' sovereign power (自在力)
Infinite physical characteristics Adorn the Buddha's body; Yet it is not in physical form That the Buddha can be seen.
The Buddha's bodies are not emanations And yet not other than emanations: In the reality where there are no emanations He appears to have emanated forms.
Just as the clear full moon Appears in all bodies of water And while the reflections are numberless The real moon is not two,
Like what is seen by clouded eyes Is neither internal nor external, The world, seeing all the buddhas You should know, is also like this.
Just as all things Originate due to multiple conditions, So also does seeing Buddha Necessarily depend on many good works.
The bodies of Buddha and the worlds' beings Are all without self: Realizing this, one attains true awakening And also explains it to others.
Sentient beings erroneously discriminate: "This is Buddha," "this is the world." For one realizing the true nature of things 了達法性者 There's no Buddha and no world.
If you hear Dharma such as this, The Buddhas are born from this; Though you experience countless pains You'll not quit enlightening practices.
