Transcript: 

Book 5, The Flower Bank World Then the Enlightened Being, universally good, again addressed the Great Assembly, saying, Children of Buddha, this flower-bank array ocean of worlds was adorned and purified by Vairochana Buddha, as in the remote past she cultivated enlightening practices for as many eons as atoms in an ocean of worlds, and each eon associating with as many Buddhas as there are atoms in an ocean of worlds, and the presence of each Buddha purely practicing great vows as numerous as atoms in an ocean of worlds. This flower-bank array ocean of worlds is supported by as many atmospheres as there are atoms in the polar mountain. The bottom-most atmosphere is called impartial abode.

[01:03]

It holds arrays of blazing flames of all jewels above it. The next atmosphere is called producing various precious adornments. It holds diamond banners radiant with pure light above it. The next higher atmosphere is called precious power. It holds chimes of all jewels above it. The next higher atmosphere is called impartial flavor. It holds diamond orbs of the appearance of sunlight above it. The next higher atmosphere is called various universal adornments. It holds flowers of light disks above it. The next higher atmosphere is called universal purity. It holds flaming lion thrones of all flowers above it. The next higher atmosphere is called sound pervading the ten directions.

[02:07]

It holds banners of all real pearls above it. The next higher atmosphere is called light of all jewels. It holds all diamond tree flowers above it. The next higher atmosphere is called high-velocity universal support. It holds mountainous clouds of all fragrant gems above it. The next higher atmosphere is called various mansions in motion. It holds clouds of pedestals of all precious colors and fragrances above it. The uppermost of those atmospheres as numerous as atoms in a mountain is called repository of supreme light. It holds an ocean of fragrant water adorned by radiant diamonds. In this ocean of fragrant water is an enormous lotus blossom

[03:10]

called banner of fragrance with pistils of all kinds of lights. This flower bank array ocean of worlds rests therein. This ocean of worlds is square and level, pure and stable, surrounded by diamond circular mountains. Its lands, seas, and trees each have distinct boundaries. Then universally good to recapitulate, looked over the ten directions with the power of the Buddha and said in verse. In the past, the Buddha, in all states of being, cultivated pure deeds with Buddhas as many as atoms. Thus she attained the flower bank array ocean of worlds with all kinds of jewel lights. Her vast clouds of mercy cover all.

[04:10]

She has given up her body innumerable times. Because of the power of her past eons of practice, this world now has no defilements. It emanates great light which abides throughout space. Held by atmospheric power, it doesn't tremble or quake. It is adorned everywhere by jewels of Buddha's treasury. The power of Buddha's vows has made it pure. Strewn about are flowers of beautiful minds of jewels, resting in the sky through the power of ancient vows. Over an ocean of various adornments, stable and strong, clouds of light spread, filling the ten directions. And all the jewels are clouds of enlightening beings, traveling to all quarters, blazing with light.

[05:12]

Rimmed with glowing flames, beautiful flower ornaments circulate throughout the universe, reaching everywhere. From all the jewels emanates pure light, which totally lumines the ocean of all beings, pervading all lands in the ten directions. It frees them from pain and turns them to enlightenment. The Buddhas and the jewels are equal in number to all beings. From their hair pores, they emanate phantom forms, celestial beings, world rulers, and so on, including forms of all beings, as well as Buddhas. Their magical light beams are as many as all things. In the light, they intone the names of all Buddhas. By various means, they teach and civilize, accommodating all the various minds everywhere.

[06:14]

In each atom of the flower bank world is seen the universe of the elemental cosmos. Jewel lights display Buddhas like masses of clouds. This is the Buddha's freedom in her field. The vast cloud of her vows extends throughout the cosmos, edifying all beings throughout all time. Having completed the practice of the state of knowledge of universal good, all the adornments there are emerge from here. Then universally good again address the great congregation, children of Buddha. The surrounding mountains of this flower bank array ocean of worlds rests on lotus blossoms of sun pearls. Their mass is made of sandalwood crystals, their peaks of majestic diamonds. Their curves are made of precious stones of exquisite fragrance.

[07:19]

They are composed of fiery diamonds. Rivers of all perfumes flow between them. Their forests are made of all kinds of jewels. They are covered with beautiful flowers and fragrant herbs and studded with bright pearls. Nets of precious stones are draped all around. There are as many such beautiful adornments as there are atoms in an ocean of worlds. Then to recapitulate universally good, the enlightening being receiving spiritual power from the Buddha looked over the ten directions and said in verse, the great ocean of worlds has no bounds. Its circumference of jewels is pure and multicolored. All the adornments it has are of rare beauty. This comes from the spiritual power of the Buddha.

[08:20]

Rings of jewels, rings of exquisite incense, as well as rings of pearls and lamp flames, various beautiful treasures adorn it. Wherein rests a pure ring of mountains. Their minds are of solid jewels. They're decorated with rose gold. Their light blazes throughout the ten directions. Inside and out they shine, all pure and clear. Made of masses of diamonds, also raining beautiful jewels, their jewel atmospheres are unique and different. Radiating pure light, beautifying everywhere. The fragrant rivers divide into streams of infinite hues, scattering flower jewels and sandalwood. With lotuses thickly blooming like clothing spread, and rare plants abundantly growing, all of them aromatic.

[09:25]

Countless jewel trees adorn everywhere. The colors of their blooming flowers radiantly bright. Various kinds of fine raiment are placed thereon, with clouds of light shining everywhere, all round and full. Countless, boundless, great, enlightening beings holding canopies, burning incense, fill the universe, each producing all wonderful voices, everywhere expounding the Buddha's true teaching. The trees of precious elements have branches of jewels, each jewel branch emitting light. Vairochana's pure body enters therein, causing all to see. In all the adornments are manifest Buddha bodies of boundless forms and countless numbers, all going to all quarters, reaching everywhere.

[10:27]

The beings they teach also being limitless. All the adornments emit subtle sounds, expounding the circle of the Buddha's original vows. Buddha's independent power causes them to pervade all the pure oceans of lands there are. Then Universally Good also said, the land within the surrounding mountains of this ocean of worlds is all made of diamond. Its stable, strong adornments cannot be broken. It is clean and level. It is fringed by precious stones and contains repositories of jewels. It is arrayed at intervals with all kinds of gems in the various forms of all sentient beings. It is strewn with jewel dust and spread with lotus blossoms, with jewels from fragrant mines placed among them.

[11:31]

The various adornments fill everywhere like clouds. It is decorated with all the embellishments of all the Buddha lands of past, present, and future. It is webbed with beautiful, precious stones, which reflect the states of all the Buddhas, like the net of Indra, emperor of the heavens, hanging there. The ground of this ocean of worlds has adornments such as these, as many as atoms in an ocean of worlds. Then to recapitulate, Universally Good, receiving spiritual power from the Buddha, looked over the ten directions and said, that ground is level and utterly pure, firmly abiding, indestructible. It is adorned with jewels everywhere, with various gemstones interspersed. The diamond earth is most delightful,

[12:34]

embellished with jewel rings and nets, spread with lotus blossoms in full bloom, with exquisite raiment covering all. Enlightening beings' celestial crowns and jewel necklaces are spread all over the ground as decorations. Sandalwood-scented jewels are strewn about, all radiating pure, exquisite light. Jewel flowers flame, producing subtle light. Flames of light, like clouds, illuminate all. These flowers and myriad jewels are strewn over the ground for adornment. Dense clouds rise and fill the ten directions with tremendous rays of light that have no end, reaching all lands in the ten directions, expounding the Buddha's vivifying teaching. All the Buddha's vows are in the jewels, revealing boundless, vast eons.

[13:38]

What the Supreme Knower did in days gone by is all seen within these jewels. Into all the jewels of this ground come and enter all the Buddha fields, and into each atom of those Buddha fields also enter all lands. In the flower-bank world, adorned with wondrous jewels, enlightening beings travel throughout the ten directions, expounding the universal vows of the great hero. This is their power of freedom in enlightenment sites. The ground arrayed with beautiful, precious stones radiates pure light, replete with all adornments, filling the cosmos, equal to space. Buddha's power naturally manifests like this. Those who master the vows of universal good, those of great knowledge who enter the Buddha's realm,

[14:40]

can know in this ocean of lands all such mystic transformations as these. Then universally good also said to the assembly, in the land masses of this ocean of worlds are seas of fragrant waters, as numerous as atoms in unspeakably many Buddha fields. All beautiful jewels adorn the floors of those seas. Gems of exquisite fragrances adorn their shores. They are meshed with luminous diamonds. Their fragrant waters shine with the colors of all jewels. Flowers of all kinds of gems swirl on their surfaces. Sandalwood powder settles on the bottom of the seas. They emanate the sounds of Buddha's speech. They radiate jewel-like light, boundless enlightening beings holding various canopies

[15:44]

manifest mystic powers, causing the adornments of all worlds to appear therein. Stairways of 10 kinds of precious substances are set out in rows with balustrades of 10 kinds of jewels surrounding them. White lotuses ornamented with jewels, as many as atoms in four continents are spread over the waters in full bloom. There are unspeakable hundreds of thousands of billions of trillions of banners of 10 precious elements, banners of belt gauze of raiments of all jewels, as many as sand grains in the Ganges River. Jewel flower palaces of boundless forms, as many as sand grains in the Ganges River. A hundred thousand billion trillion lotus castles of 10 precious substances.

[16:45]

Forests of jewel trees, as many as atoms in four continents. Networks of flaming jewels, as many sandalwood perfumes as grains of sand in the Ganges. And jewels of blazing radiance emitting the sounds of Buddha's speech. Unspeakable hundreds of thousands of billions of trillions of walls made of all jewels surround all of them, adorning everywhere. Then to reiterate, universally good, spiritually empowered by the Buddha looked over the 10 directions and said, on the land masses of these worlds are seas of fragrant water adorned by jewels. Pure, beautiful gems line the seafloors resting on diamond, indestructible. Heaps of jewels of fragrant mines form the shores.

[17:47]

Orbs of sun flame pearls are spread like clouds. Garlands of lotuses and exquisite jewels adorn everywhere, pure without taint. The fragrant waters are clear and contain all colors. Precious flowers swirl, radiating light. Sounds that cause all to quake are heard far and near, expounding the subtle truth by the Buddha's mystic powers. The arrays of stairways contain all jewels and are studded at intervals with pearls. The surrounding balustrades are all made of jewels with nets of lotuses and pearls draped like clouds. Gemstone trees stand in rows. Flower buds blossom, their luster bright. Various music is always playing. Buddha's mystic power makes it so.

[18:51]

White lotuses of various superb jewels are spread in arrays on the fragrant water seas. Rays of fragrant flames never cease. Their vast auras fill everywhere. Banners of bright pearls, ever radiant, drapes of fine clothing ornamenting, nets of crystal bells intone the sound of truth, causing hearers to head for Buddha knowledge. Lotuses of jewels form castles adorned with multicolored gems, while clouds of pearls shade the four corners, thus adorning the seas of fragrant waters. Walls surround everything with facing towers arrayed on them. Countless lights are always shining, variously adorning the pure, clear seas. Vairochana in ancient times

[19:52]

beautified and purified various oceans of lands like this, vast, broad, without bounds, all as the Buddha's sovereign power. Then universally good went on to say to the great congregation, each one of the fragrant seas has as many rivers of fragrant waters as there are atoms in four continents, circling them to the right. All of them have diamond banks adorned with crystals of pure light, always manifesting clouds of jewel-color lights of the Buddha's, as well as the speech sounds of all sentient beings. The causal practices cultivated by the Buddhas, their various forms and characteristics, all emerge from the swirls in the rivers. There are networks of crystals and chimes of many jewels, wherein appear the adornments of all the oceans of worlds.

[20:57]

Clouds of jewels cover them above. Those clouds show all the phantom Buddhas emanated in the 10 directions by Vairochana of the flower bank world, as well as the deeds of psychic power of all Buddhas. They also produce miraculous sounds extolling the names of the enlightened and enlightening beings of past, present, and future. From those fragrant waters constantly emerge clouds of light with the radiance of all jewels, continuing uninterrupted. If the full story be told, each river has as many adornments as atoms in an ocean of worlds. Then to reiterate, Universally Good, with the psychic power she received from the Buddha, looked over the 10 directions and said, currents of pure fragrance fill the great rivers.

[22:01]

Beautiful diamonds form their banks. Rings of jewel dust are spread on the ground. The various ornaments are all rare and fine. Jewel stairways arrayed in rows, beautifully adorned, balustrades surrounding, all extremely fine. Flower decorations with stores of pearls and various garlands draped all around. The fragrant waters jewel-like luster is pure, always spewing crystals in rushing currents. The flowers undulate with the ripples, all producing music and toning sublime truths. The mud is made of sandalwood powder. All splendid jewels swirl together. Aromas of stores of scent spread therein, emitting flames circulating fragrance everywhere. In the rivers are produced wonderful jewels, all emitting lights of blazing color.

[23:04]

The lights cast reflections forming terrace seats, complete with canopies and garlands of pearls. In the diamonds appear bodies of Buddhas, their lights illumining the 10 directions lands. Circles of them decorate the riverbeds, always full of fragrant water, clear. Crystal nets, bells of gold, cover the rivers broadcasting Buddha's voice, preaching all ways to enlightenment and the sublime practice of universal good. The crystals of the jewel banks are extremely pure and always produce the tones of the Buddha's original vows, telling of and showing the past deeds of all Buddhas. From the whirls of those rivers, enlightening beings constantly emerge like clouds, all traveling in the vast extensive lands

[24:06]

till all the universe is filled. Pure pearls are spread like clouds, covering all the fragrant rivers. Those pearls are as many as the appearances from Buddha's brow, clearly showing the images of all enlightened ones. Then universally good also said to the great assembly, the land in between these rivers of fragrant waters is all variously adorned with beautiful jewels. Each land space has as many white lotuses decorated with jewels as there are atoms and four continents surrounding and filling everywhere. Each has as many forests of jewel trees as atoms and four continents standing in orderly rows with each tree constantly producing clouds of all ornaments, diamonds shining within them. The fragrances of all kinds of flowers fill everywhere.

[25:10]

Those trees also produce subtle sounds, speaking of the great vows practiced by all the Buddhas in all ages. They also scatter various kinds of diamonds all over the ground, diamonds with lotus auras, fragrant flame light cloud diamonds, variously embellished diamonds, diamonds reflecting the colors of inconceivably many adornments, diamonds like stores of raiment of sunlight, diamonds draping clouds of webs of light throughout the 10 directions, diamonds reflecting the spiritual metamorphosis of all Buddhas, diamonds reflecting the ocean of consequences of actions of all sentient beings. There are as many of such as these as there are atoms in an ocean of worlds. The lands in between the fragrant rivers

[26:12]

all have such adornments. Then to reiterate, universally good, receiving spiritual power from the Buddha looked over the 10 directions and said, the land is level and thoroughly pure, garnished with gold and jewels. Trees in rows shade the land with soaring trunks hung with branches and flowers like clouds. The twigs and stems are adorned with gems. The glow of their flowers make auras illumining all around. Their fruits of crystal hang like clouds, making all in the 10 directions visible. Diamonds are spread over the ground, adorning together with jewel pollen from the flowers. There are also crystal palaces showing the reflected images of all beings. Diamonds reflecting the images of Buddhas

[27:13]

are scattered all over the ground. Their luster pervades the 10 directions, revealing Buddhas in each and every atom. Arrays of exquisite jewels are distributed well, interspersed with networks of pearl lamps. Everywhere are crystal orbs, each showing the Buddha's powers. The arrays of jewels radiate light in which appear the phantom Buddhas, each one traveling everywhere and teaching with the 10 powers. White lotuses of jewels fill all the waters. Their blooms all various, each shining endless light. All adornments of all ages appear in the crystal fruits. Their essential nature, unborn, cannot be grasped. This is the sovereign power of Buddha. All the adornments on this ground manifest the vast body of Buddha.

[28:15]

It neither comes nor goes, but causes all to see by the power of Buddha's ancient vows. In each atom of this ground, all Buddha children cultivate the way. All see the lands predicted for their futures, all of them pure according to their wishes. Then universally good went on to declare, the adornments of the ocean of worlds of the Buddha are inconceivable. Why? Each object in this flower bank array ocean of worlds is adorned by as many pure qualities as there are atoms in an ocean of worlds. Then to reiterate this point, universally good, imbued with spiritual power from the Buddha, surveyed the 10 directions and said, every place in this ocean of lands is embellished with myriad jewels.

[29:18]

Their flames leaping into the sky, spreading like clouds. Their light penetrating, always covering all. Jewels spew clouds without end, wherein appear images of all Buddhas. Their mystic powers and metamorphoses never stop and all enlightening beings come and gather. All the jewels broadcast Buddha's voice, the sound exquisite, inconceivable. What Vairochana did in the past is always heard and seen within these jewels. The universal illuminators with pure auras all show their forms reflected in the ornaments, transforming, distributing their bodies, surrounded by congregations. They reach throughout all oceans of lands. Buddha's independent deeds of spiritual powers

[30:19]

all pervade the lands of the 10 directions. Thereby are the oceans of lands purely adorned. All of this is seen within the jewels. The mystic displays in the 10 directions are all like images in a mirror. They just come from the spiritual willpower exercised by the Buddha in the past. If any can practice the deeds of universal goodness and enter the awakening beings ocean of supreme knowledge, they can in a single atom manifest their bodies everywhere and purify many lands. For inconceivable billions of eons, having associated with all the Buddhas, everything they practice can be shown in a single instant. The Buddha's lands are like space, peerless, unborn, without any signs.

[31:21]

To aid living beings, they beautify and purify lands, dwelling therein by the power of their original vows. Then universally good went on to say, what worlds are there herein? I'll tell you. In these seas of fragrant waters, numerous as atoms in unspeakably many Buddha fields, rest an equal number of world systems. Each world system also contains an equal number of worlds. Those world systems in the ocean of worlds have various resting places, various shapes and forms, various substances and essences, various locations, various entryways, various adornments, various boundaries, various alignments, various similarities, and various powers of maintenance.

[32:23]

Some of these world systems rest on seas of gigantic lotuses. Some rest on seas of jewel flowers of boundless forms. Some rest on seas of ornaments of treasures from repositories of all pearls. Some rest on seas of perfume. Some rest on seas of all flowers. Some rest on seas of crystal webs. Some rest on seas of swirling light. Some rest on seas of awakening beings jeweled crowns. Some rest on seas of the bodies of all the various living beings. Some rest on diamonds emanating the sounds of the voices of all Buddhas. There are as many of these, if fully expounded, as atoms in an ocean of worlds. Some of these world systems are shaped like high mountains.

[33:27]

Some like rivers. Some like whorls. Some like whirlpools. Some like wheel rims. Some like altars. Some like forests. Some like palaces. Some like mountain banners. Some like all geometric figures. Some like wombs. Some like lotus blossoms. Some like baskets. Some like bodies of sentient beings. Some like clouds. Some like the distinguishing features of Buddhas. Some like spheres of light. Some like webs of various pearls. Some like all doors. Some like various ornaments. Their shapes, if fully told of, number as many as atoms in an ocean of worlds. As for the substances of these world systems,

[34:27]

some are made of clouds of jewels of all quarters. Some of multicolored flames. Some of light beams. Some of flames of precious scents. Some of cotton flowers adorned by all jewels. Some of images of enlightening beings. Some of auras of Buddhas. Some of physical forms of Buddhas. Some of the light of one precious element. Some of the lights of many precious elements. Some of the sounds of the sea of blessings and virtues of all living beings. Some of the sounds of the sea of actions of all living beings. Some of the pure sounds of the sphere of all Buddhas. Some of the sounds of the sea of great vows of all enlightening beings. Some of the sounds of the formation and disintegration of the adornments of all lands.

[35:30]

Some of the sounds of the methods and techniques of all Buddhas. Some of the sounds of the voices of boundless Buddhas. Some of the voices of goodness of all sentient beings. Some of the sounds of the mystical demonstrations of all Buddhas. Some of the pure sounds of the ocean of virtue of all Buddhas. If fully told, there are as many of these as atoms in an ocean of worlds. Then Universally Good, to reiterate what she meant, looked over the 10 directions by the power bestowed on her by the Buddha and said in verse, the stable marvelous adornments of the systems of worlds, vast pure treasuries of light, rest on seas of lotus blossom jewels or on perfume seas and so on. Shaped like mountains, cities, trees, altars,

[36:34]

the world systems extend in all directions, their various adornments and shapes different, each set out in arrays. Pure light is the substance of some, some flower banks and some clouds of jewels. Some world systems are made of flames, resting in indestructible mines of jewels. Clouds of lamps, colored lights of flames and more, various boundless forms, all pure. Some are composed of sound of the inconceivable teachings of Buddha. Some are sound produced by the power of vows. Some of sounds of miraculous displays. Some are those of beings virtues or the sounds of Buddha's qualities. The individual different aspects of the world systems are inconceivable without end.

[37:36]

The 10 directions are filled with them, their vast adornments manifesting spiritual powers. All the immense lands of the 10 directions enter into this system of worlds. Though we see all in the 10 directions enter, really there is no coming and no entry. One world system enters all, and all completely enter one. Their substances and characteristics remain as before, no different. Incomparable, immeasurable, they all pervade everywhere. In the atoms of all lands are seen Buddha's existing there. The voices of their oceans of vows are like thunder, subduing all sentient beings. The Buddha's body pervades all lands, which are also filled by countless enlightening beings.

[38:37]

The Buddha's freedom has no equal, edifying all conscious creatures.

All of the worlds in each of these systems rest on various adornments connecting with each other forming a network of worlds set up with various differences throughout the flower bank array ocean of worlds.

[150:53]

Then to recapitulate the enlightening being universally good receiving power from the Buddha said in verse, The flower bank ocean of worlds is equal to the universe. Its adornments are extremely pure, resting peacefully in space. In this ocean of worlds are inconceivably many world systems, each one independent, they are not all mixed up. In the flower bank world ocean, the world systems are well arrayed with different shapes and adornments varying in appearance. The sounds of Buddha's displays are the substance of various systems, seeing according to the power of acts, the world systems are finally adorned. Polar mountain city networks, circular shapes of whirlpools, immense lotus flowers blooming, they circle one another.

[151:57]

Mountain banner palace shapes, whirling diamond shapes, like this are the inconceivable vast systems of worlds. Flames of pearls from the ocean, inconceivable nets of light, the world systems like this all rest on lotus blossoms. The webs of light of each system cannot be fully described. In the lights appear all the lands throughout the seas in ten directions. Into the ornaments adorning all the systems of worlds enter all the lands, making all visible everywhere. The world systems are inconceivable, the worlds are boundless. There are various fine establishments derived from the great sages power. In each of the systems of worlds, the worlds are inconceivably many, some forming, some decaying, some have already crumbled away.

[153:01]

Like leaves in a forest, some growing, some falling, so too in these systems thus do worlds form and decay. Like according to the forest, the various fruits are different. In these world systems too do various beings live. Just as when seeds are different, so are the fruits they produce. Because of differences in the force of acts, living beings' lands are not the same. Just as the mind king jewel appears in different colors to different minds, when beings' minds are pure, they can see pure lands. Like great dragon kings creating clouds filling the sky, so does the power of Buddha's vows produce the various lands. Just as the magician's arts can make various things appear due to the force of beings' acts, the number of realms is inconceivable.

[154:05]

Just like pictures drawn by an artist, so are all worlds made by the painter mind. Beings' bodies' differences arise from the mind's discriminations. Thus are the lands varied, all depending on acts. Just as the guide is seen in various different forms, so do beings see the lands according to their mental patterns. The borders of all the worlds are draped with lotus nets, their various features different, their adornments are all pure. In those lotus nets rest networks of lands with various adornments inhabited by various beings. Some lands are dangerous and uneven. Because of beings' afflictions, they see them in this way. Innumerable kinds of worlds, defiled as well as pure, develop according to beings' minds, maintained by enlightening beings' power.

[155:13]

In some lands is purity as well as defilement. This arises from the force of deeds under the influence of enlightening beings. Some lands are made of pure jewels radiating light, with various fine adornments purified by the Buddhas. In each system of lands are aeonic fires inconceivable. While it appears disastrous, the places always remain secure. By the force of beings' acts are many lands produced, supported by wind atmospheres or resting on water spheres. The phenomena of the worlds are thus variously seen, yet they really have no origination and also no disintegration. In each moment of mind are infinite lands produced. By the Buddhas' spiritual power, all are seen as pure.

[156:18]

Some lands are made of dirt, their substance very hard, dark, with no light shining. They're inhabited by evildoers. Some lands are made of thunderbolts, mixed up and terrifying, with much misery and little happiness, the abodes of those of scant virtue. Some are made of iron, some of ruddy copper, with stone mountains steep and fearsome, full of animals. Among the lands are hells where beings cannot be saved from pain, always in the dark, burnt by seas of flame. Some, again, have animals of various wretched forms. Because of their own evil deeds, they always suffer affliction. Some see a netherworld, oppressed by hunger and thirst. Climbing great mountains of fire, they suffer extreme pain.

[157:20]

There are also some lands composed of precious elements, with various kinds of mansions. These are realized by pure deeds. You should observe these worlds, the humans and celestials therein, developed by results of pure deeds. They feel happiness all the time. In each and every pore are unthinkable billions of lands, adorned in various ways, with never any cramp. By the individual acts of beings, these worlds are infinite in kind. Therein are born attachments and differences of misery and happiness. Some lands are made of jewels, always radiating boundless light. Diamond lotus flowers adorn them, totally pure. Some lands are made of light resting, too, on spheres of light.

[158:23]

Golden with sandalwood scent, flaming clouds illumining all. Some lands are made of lunar disks, draped with fragrant robes, in a lotus blossom filled with enlightening beings. Some lands are made of many jewels, their colors without impurities, like the imperial net of Indra, always shining with light. Some lands are made of fragrance, some are diamond flowers. Their forms of crystal light are most pure when looked into. There are also inconceivably many lands made of flower wreaths, filled with phantom Buddhas and radiance of enlightening beings. There are some pure lands all of flowering trees. Beautiful boughs spread over sanctuaries, shaded by crystal clouds. Some lands are made of diamond flowers with pure light.

[159:24]

Some are sounds of Buddha's teaching, forming boundless networks of arrays. Some lands are like the jeweled crowns of enlightening beings. Some are shaped like thrones issuing from magical light. Some are sandalwood powder, some like emanated light from the sounds in Buddha's aura, formed into a wondrous land. Some see pure lands adorned with a single light. Some see many ornaments, all variously superb. Some have for adornments the marvelous things of ten lands. Some are adorned with everything in a thousand lands. Sometimes one land is embellished with the things of a billion lands. Their various features unalike, all appearing as reflected images. The things of unspeakably many lands adorn a single land,

[160:30]

each radiating light produced by the Buddha's vows. There are some lands purified by the power of vows, and each of their adornments are seen all oceans of worlds. The pure lands realized by those who practice the vows of universal good manifest within themselves the adornments of past, present, and future lands. You should observe, O children of Buddha, the spiritual power in the system of worlds. The worlds of the future, all, they'll show you like in a dream. The worlds of the ten directions, the oceans of lands of the past, all within a single land show their forms like phantoms. All Buddhas of past, present, and future, as well as their lands, can all be observed in a single world system. The spiritual power of all Buddhas shows many lands in an atom,

[161:34]

of various kinds, all clearly seen, like reflections, they have no true reality. There are many lands whose forms are like oceans, and lands like polar mountains are inconceivable in number. Some lands are well disposed, formed like Indra's net, some are shaped like forests, with Buddhas filling them. Some are shaped like jewel disks, some like lotus blossoms, or octagonal with all dark decorations, they're various and all pure. Some are shaped like seats, some again are triangular, some are like pure jewels, castle walls, or celestial bodies. Some are like God's top knots, some like the half moon, some are like crystal mountains, some like the solar orb. The shape of some of the worlds is like whirlpools in a fragrant sea,

[162:40]

some are spheres of light, purified by Buddhas past. Some are shaped like wheel rims, some are altar shaped, some are like Buddhas hair curl, his flesh top knot, or large long eyes. Some are like Buddhas hand, some like thunderbolts, some are like mountains of flames, and lightning beings fill them all. Some are shaped like lions, some like seashells, of infinite colors and forms, their substances are each distinct. In one system of worlds are endless forms of lands, all depend on Buddhas vow power for protection and stability. Some lands last an eon, some exist for ten eons, or for more eons than atoms in a hundred thousand lands. In a single eon, lands are seen to dissolve,

measureless or countless, or inconceivably many of them. Some lands have a Buddha, and some lands do not. Some have just one Buddha, and some have countless Buddhas. If a land has no Buddha, then a Buddha from another world will mystically appear there to manifest the works of Buddhas, dying in heaven and descending in spirit, residing in a womb and being born, vanquishing demons and becoming enlightened, turning the wheel of the unexcelled teaching according to the inclinations of beings' minds. Buddha manifests various forms, teaching them the sublime truth in accord with each of their faculties. In each Buddha field, a Buddha appears in the world, spending billions of years expounding unexcelled truths.

[164:43]

If beings are not vessels of truth, they cannot see the Buddhas. If any have the will, they see Buddha everywhere. In each individual Buddha field is a Buddha appearing in the world. The Buddhas in all lands are inconceivable in number. Herein, each and every Buddha shows countless mystic transformations, pervading the entire universe, taming the ocean of beings. Some lands have no light. They're dark and full of fear, with pains like knives and swords. Those who see them suffer by themselves. Some have heavenly lights, some lights of palaces. Some have sun and moon lights. Inconceivable are the networks of lands. Some lands are inherently luminous. In some, the trees emit pure light.

[165:45]

There has never been suffering there due to the power of beings' virtue. Some have lights of mountains. Some have crystal lights. Some are lit by lamps, all the force of beings' deeds. Some have Buddha's auras, filled with enlightening beings. Some are lotus blossom lights with magnificent blazing colors. Some lands are lit by flower lights, some by the sheen of fragrant waters, or by perfumes and burning incense. All comes from the force of pure vows. Some are lit by cloud lights, some by jewel oysters lights. The light of Buddha's mystic power can intone gladdening sounds. Some are lit by jewel lights, some by diamond flames. Their pure sounds can shake far-off realms.

[166:46]

Wherever they reach, there are no pains. Some have crystal lights, or lights from ornaments, or from enlightenment scenes shining in the crowds. Buddha emanates a great light filled with phantom Buddhas. That light touches all with its glow, pervading the whole cosmos. Some lands are terrifying, with great howls of pain, those voices most bitter and harsh, frightening all who hear. The realms of hells and beasts, as well as the netherworlds, these are polluted, evil worlds, from which always come cries of pain and distress. There are some lands that always produce enjoyable sounds, pleasing in accord with the teaching. This is attained by pure deeds. In some lands are always heard heavenly sounds of various gods,

[167:49]

pure sounds of celestial realms, or the voices of leaders of the worlds. There are some lands that produce wonderful sounds from clouds. In some lands, they're filled with jewel seas, crystal trees, and music. In the auras of the Buddhas are endless magical voices, and those of enlightening beings heard throughout all lands, the voices expounding the teaching in inconceivably many lands, the voices produced by the ocean of vows, the wondrous tales of practical action. The Buddhas of past, present, and future are born in the various worlds, fulfilling all their epithets, their voices without any end. In some lands is heard the voice of all Buddha's powers, the stages, the transcendent ways, and such teachings are all expounded. The power of the vows of universal good

[168:53]

intones wondrous sayings in billions of worlds that sound like thunder shaking, remaining for endless ages. The Buddhas in pure lands manifest independent speech heard by one and all throughout the cosmos, everywhere.
