The Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara Sutra
I heard like this:
At one time, the Buddha was staying at Tien Nhan Deer Park near the city of Benares, having a meeting with 20,000 large groups of monks. There are also 12,000 bodhisattvas, whose names are:
- Lion Bodhisattva,
- The Bodhisattva Intent Lion,
- Peace of Mind Bodhisattva,
- No-Intention Bodhisattva,
- Earth Bodhisattva,
- The Bodhisattva Bodhisattva,
- God of Bodhisattvas,
- Truly Bodhisattva,
- The old-school Bodhisattva,
- The Bodhisattva Virtue,
- Minh Thien Bodhisattva,
- Compassion Bodhisattva,
- Manjushri Bodhisattva benefits,
- Wisdom Action Bodhisattva,
- Specialized in Bodhisattva Practice,
- Appearing No Fear Bodhisattva,
– and Maitreya Bodhisattva.
Along with such other Bodhisattva-Mahasattvas, who were the masters of the 12,000 Bodhisattvas who attended.
Another 20,000 heavenly sons. Among them were Thien Gioi Thien Son, Thien Tru Thien Son, and others who were masters, and they all remained in the Mahayana.
At that time, immeasurable hundreds of thousands of relatives surrounded the Blessed One and he preached the Dharma to them.
At that time in the assembly a bodhisattva named Hoa Duc Tsang rose from his seat, pulled off his right shoulder, knelt with his right knee close to the ground, folded his hands toward the Buddha, and spoke thus:
“World-Honored One! I have something to ask, I hope the Tathagata will allow it."
The Buddha told Flower Buddha Bodhisattva:
“If you have any doubts, just ask. I already know what you want to ask. The Tathagata will preach to make you happy."
At that time, Hoa Duc Tang said to the Buddha:
“World-Honored One! How can Bodhisattva-Mahasattva not turn back to Supreme Perfect Enlightenment, or lose the five kinds of supernatural powers? How to obtain As Illusion Tam-mu? Because when they have attained that samadhi, they, with their skillful means and methods, can transform according to the type of each living being, then preach the Dharma according to their good roots, and cause sentient beings to attain the samadhi. Unsurpassed Perfect Enlightenment."
The Buddha told Flower Buddha Bodhisattva Mahasattva:
“Good, good! You can be in front of the Tathagata, Perfectly Enlightened, and skillfully ask for the meaning.
Hey Tibetan Flower! He planted good roots in the Buddhas of the past, made offerings to innumerable hundreds of thousands of billions of Buddhas, World-Honored Ones, and aroused great compassion for sentient beings.
Good luck, Flower of Virtue! Listen, listen, and be smart! I will preach to you.”
Venerable Hoa Duc Tibetan said:
"Yes sir! I'd love to hear it."
The Buddha told Flower Buddha Bodhisattva Mahasattva:
“If anyone accomplishes this one dharma, they will attain the Tathagata Samadhi. When they have attained that samadhi, they, with their skillful means and methods, are able to transform according to the type of each living being, then preach the Dharma according to their good roots, and cause sentient beings to attain Nolessness. Supreme Chief Justice.
What is this one dharma? That is not to rely on. Do not rely on the Three Precepts, do not rely on the inside, and do not rely on the outside. When there is no place to take refuge, then there is right house. When there is right insight, it will lead to right end with undamaged perception. Then from the mind that is neither increasing nor decreasing will arise true wisdom.
When you reach this stage, you will understand all dharmas that arise from conditions and are due to falsehood. All dharmas arise from causes and conditions. If there are no causes and conditions, dharmas will not arise. Although all dharmas arise from causes and conditions, there is really nowhere to be.
Anyone who has mastered the dharma of no-birth in this way will at time enter into the bodhisattva's true Way, also known as the great compassion. So they will have compassion and want to save all sentient beings. When you can skillfully understand such profound meanings, then you will know that all dharmas are like illusions.
It is through remembrance and words that dharmas are created. But the dharmas formed from that remembrance and words have no end. When you can skillfully communicate the dharmas, then it is called the attainment of As Illusion Tam-mu.
When they have attained that samadhi, they, with their skillful means and methods, are able to transform according to the type of each living being, then preach the Dharma according to their good roots, and cause sentient beings to attain Nolessness. Supreme Righteous Perfect Enlightenment."
At that time, the Bodhisattva-Mahasattva Flower Buddha said to the Buddha:
“World-Honored One! Is there any bodhisattva in this assembly who has attained that samadhi?"
Buddha said:
"Have! Now in this assembly there are dignified persons with inconceivable great vows, such as Maitreya Bodhisattva, Manjushri Bodhisattva, and 60 Righteous Ones--who have attained the three-- that brat."
Again the Buddha said:
“World-Honored One! Is it only in this world that there are bodhisattvas who attain such samadhi, or are there bodhisattvas in other worlds who also achieve such illusory samadhi?"
The Buddha told Hoa Duc Tang:
“From here to the west, beyond the ten thousand million Buddha realms, there is a world called An Lac. In that land there is a Buddha named Amitabha, Devotion, Rightly Enlightened One, and he is currently preaching the Dharma there. That Buddha had two bodhisattvas as attendants. The first one is named Avalokitesvara. The second was named Dac Dai The. Both of them attained that samadhi.
Again, Flower of Virtue! If there are any bodhisattvas who hear and receive and uphold this Dharma for seven days and seven nights from the other two Righteous Masters, they will soon attain the Tathagata Samadhi."
Flower Buddha Bodhisattva said to the Buddha that:
“World-Honored One! There must be innumerable bodhisattvas attaining that samadhi in that land.
Why is that? For any bodhisattva who has been reborn in that land will go to the place of those two righteous beings and listen to and uphold this Dharma."
Buddha said:
“Like market, like market! Exactly what he said. In that land there are innumerable asthānas, bodhisattvas Mahasattvas, who obtained that samadhi from the other two righteous men."
Flower Buddha Bodhisattva said to the Buddha that:
“Well done, Venerable One! May the Tathagata, the Devoted, the Rightly Enlightened One, use his divine power to bring the other two righteous beings to this world and also make the peoples of both sides see each other.
Why is that? Because if the other two righteous people come to this world, then those good men and good women with good roots will mature and listen to them preach the Dharma, they will attain that samadhi. I also wish to see Amitabha Buddha's Happy World. Because of this cause, it will also cause good men, good men and women here to generate the mind of Supreme Perfect Enlightenment and vow to be born in that land. Once they are reborn in that land, they will no longer turn back to the Supreme Perfect Enlightenment."
At that time, the Blessed One accepted the above request, and then he released light from the white mark between his eyebrows. That light transforms the Three Thien Dai Thien World. All the grass, trees and rocks in this world, as well as the king of Dieu Cao mountain, Muc-chan-landa mountain, great Muc-chan-landa mountain, Chuoc-cala mountain, Dai Chuoc-ca mountain. -la, and even the dark places in this world are golden and there is no place that is not bright. The light of the sun and the moon and the auras of those with great power are absent. That light also shines throughout the hundreds of thousands of millions of countries in the west and even to the World of Peace, all of which are golden in color. Next, that great halo of light perturbed the right side of the other Buddha seven times, then suddenly disappeared in front of that Tathagata.
At that time the bodhisattvas, shravakas, and other sentient beings in that land all saw this world and large crowds surrounding Shakyamuni Buddha to listen to the Dharma. They could see it as clearly as if they were looking at an amala in the palm of their hand. Then, with love and joy, they uttered these words:
"Namo Shakyamuni Tathagata, Devotion, Right Understanding!"
At that time in the assembly here, bhikkhus, bhikkhunis, Upasakas, Upasakas, gods, dragons, yakshas, gandharvas, asuras- la, kala-la, urgent-nala, mah-la-ga, human and non-human, Indra, Brahma, the Four Heavenly Kings, Bodhisattvas, and Sravakas all see World Peace. Lac, along with the Bodhisattvas and Shravaka retinues are surrounding Amitabha Buddha. The light of that Buddha was as brilliant as a treasured mountain, with a peculiar brilliance, a majestic splendor, and shone throughout all the lands. This is like having a person with bright eyes and clearly seeing every feature of another person's face within their field of vision. The crowd here saw the same Buddha. When they had seen it, they rejoiced and rejoiced, and cried out like this:
"Namo Amitabha Tathagata, Devotion, Righteous Knowledge!"
At that time, in this assembly, there were 84,000 sentient beings who all generated the mind of Unsurpassed Perfection and Perfect Enlightenment, planted good roots together, and aspired to be born in that land.
When the Bodhisattvas and shravakas in the World of Bliss saw this land, they were delighted and surprised like they had never been before, then joined their hands and bowed down to Shakyamuni Tathagata, Appreciation, Righteousness. Turn Tri, and say the words thus:
“Namo Shakyamuni Buddha! He was able to preach such Dharma to Bodhisattvas and Shravakas."
At that time in the World of Peace and Bliss, there were six ways of shaking, including: everywhere moving, everywhere simultaneously moving, everywhere shaking, everywhere at the same time, shaking everywhere, and everywhere at the same time. concussion.
At that time, Avalokitesvara and Dac Dai Bodhisattva Mahasattva said to the other Buddha that:
“How wonderful, Venerable Sir! Shakyamuni Tathagata was able to perform such a rare feat.
Why is that? Because Shakyamuni Tathagata, Devoted, Rightly Enlightened One, just manifesting his name, has caused the great earth to be shaken in six ways."
At that time Amitabha Buddha said to the other two bodhisattvas:
Shakyamuni Buddha did not instruct him to manifest his name in this country, but in the immeasurable worlds of other Buddhas, he also manifested his name. The same is true of the great luminous spectrum and the six-way earthquake.
When immeasurable asankhya beings in the other worlds hear His name, and then recite and praise it, then they will acquire the wholesome roots and all attain the Supreme Being. Righteous Perfect Enlightenment."
At that time there were forty kotis of Bodhisattvas in that assembly, and upon hearing the name of Shakyamuni Tathagata, Devotion, Perfectly Enlightened One, they simultaneously made vows and dedicated their good roots. I have reached the Supreme Perfect Enlightenment. The Buddha then prophesied that they would attain Supreme, Perfect Enlightenment.
At that time Avalokitesvara and Bodhisattva Mahasattva Mahasattvas went to the place of Amitabha Buddha, bowed their heads at his feet, respectfully clasped his hands together, stood aside, and spoke to Germany. The other Buddha said:
“World-Honored One! For what causes and conditions did Shakyamuni Buddha emit this light?"
At that time, the Buddha said to Avalokitesvara:
“The Tathagata, the Devoted One, the Perfectly Enlightened One, will not emit light without cause.
Why is that? Because today Shakyamuni Tathagata, Appreciative, Rightly Enlightened, is about to speak the Bodhisattva's Sutra on the Treasure of the Samadhi. So he first showed this sign.”
At that time Avalokitesvara and Dac Dai Bodhisattva Mahasattva said to the other Buddha:
“World-Honored One! We want to go to the Saha World to worship and make offerings to Shakyamuni Buddha, and then listen to him teach the Dharma."
That Buddha said:
“Hey good man! Know that now is the time.”
At that time the two Bodhisattvas said to each other:
"Today we will definitely hear that Buddha preach the wonderful Dharma."
When those two bodhisattvas had been taught by the other Buddha, each of them said to his forty million bodhisattvas and retinues:
“Good man! Let's go to Saha World to worship and make offerings to Shakyamuni Buddha, and then listen and uphold the Dharma there.
Why is that? Because Shakyamuni Buddha, Tathagata, Devoted, Perfectly Enlightened, was able to leave the wonderful and pure land to do difficult things. With the power of his original vows, he aroused great compassion to attain Supreme, Perfect Enlightenment, in the evil world with greed, anger, and delusion burning brightly, and sent beings of low merit and virtue, and then he preached the Dharma to them."
Having said these words, the Bodhisattvas and Sravakas all praised in unison, saying:
“When sentient beings in that land hear the name of Shakyamuni Tathagata, Devoted, Rightly Enlightened, they immediately receive good benefits. How much more than seeing him, then happy mind.
Dear World Honored One! We want to go together to the other world to worship and make offerings to Shakyamuni Buddha.”
That Buddha said:
“Hey good man! Know that now is the time.”
At that time in the other world, Avalokiteshvara was surrounded by Bodhisattva Mahasattva Mahasattva, each surrounded by 40 billion Bodhisattvas. At that time, each bodhisattva used his supernatural powers to make forty billion jeweled monuments for his relatives.
These magnificent and dignified treasures are 12 yojanas long and wide. On the radio:

– has a place made of white silver;

There is also a place on the treasure pedestal where red pearls, dandelions, blue lotuses, pink lotuses, yellow lotuses, and white lotuses are used for adornment.
In the air, it rained down on tumanna, ylang-ylang, balala, liberation, lani, islet, mandala, and ma--flowers. ha mandala flower, balsa flower, maha balsa flower, mandala flower, maha manthusa flower, logana flower, ghost flower -ha lo-gia-na, flower old-ca, flower-maha old-ca, flower-flower-to-loud-chi, flower chinna, flower maha chinna, flower to long-chi sheepna, sheep-nodal flowers, thala flowers, and maha-thala flowers.
On each of these treasure platforms are all kinds of brilliant colors, pure brilliance, and such brilliant illumination.
On the treasure pedestals there are also 84,000 female jewels.
Or there is a jade female holding a harp, harp, iron, zither, flute, Pi Ba, drum, or conch. With so many musical instruments made of them, they stood majestically there and played wonderful music.
Or there is a jade woman holding a red sandalwood incense, a water sandalwood incense stick, or holding a black sandalwood incense stick and standing majestically there.
Or there is a jade woman holding a blue lotus, pink lotus, yellow lotus, or white lotus and standing majestically there.
Or there are female jewels holding mandala flowers, maha mandala flowers, balsa flowers, maha balassas flowers, logana flowers, maha flowers logana flower, danna flower, maha chenna flower, sage chienna flower, old cactus flower, maha old cactus flower, old tallow chien flower- singing, flower thala, flower maha tha-la, or flower to-long-chi-thala standing majestically there.
Or there is a jade woman holding all kinds of fruits and standing majestically there.
There are also lion buildings adorned with them. On each throne, there is a transforming Buddha with 32 good signs and 80 beauties that adorn themselves in the body.
Hanging above each treasure station are 84,000 mixed pearls with blue, yellow, red, and white colors.
On each treasure station there are 84,000 wonderful treasure vases filled with powdered incense and they are lined up on it.
On each treasure pedestal there are also 84,000 marvelous jewels and they cover it.
On each treasure platform there are 84,000 wonderful jewel trees and they flourish on it.
On each treasure station there are also net curtains and they are attached to the 84,000 treasure bells on it.
In the middle of the treasure trees there is a pond of seven treasures with the water of eight merits overflowing in it. In the pond there are many precious lotuses mixed with blue, yellow, red, and white; Their colors are vibrant and bright. When the gentle wind shakes the rows of precious trees, they emit wonderful sounds. The voice is gentle and more beautiful than the music of heaven.
On each treasure pedestal there are also 84,000 wonderful jeweled ropes and they are tied to the treasure trees.
Each treasure station emits light that shines up to 84,000 yojanas and there is nowhere that does not shine.
At that time Avalokitesvara and Bodhisattva Mahasattva, and with their 80 million bodhisattvas and their retinues, all entered the same dignified treasure pedestals. Then, in a flash, like a man stretching his arms, they disappeared in the other country and appeared in this world.
When they arrived at their destination surrounded by 80 billion Bodhisattvas and relatives, the two Bodhisattvas used their supernatural powers to make the land in this world as flat as water. With great meritorious accomplishment, their light shines throughout the Saha World, and their unique decency is indescribable.
Then these bodhisattvas went to the place of Shakyamuni Buddha, bowed their heads to the ground, circumambulated the right side seven times, stood aside, and said to the Buddha:
“World-Honored One! Amitabha Buddha asked that the Blessed One had no illness and no afflictions? Is it easy to walk? Does happiness make you happy?"
When the bodhisattvas and the shravakas in this world see the wonderful and wonderful ornaments in the other land, and also see the wonderful and magnificent jeweled platforms, they praise it as unprecedented, and then everyone thinks like this:
"Those magnificent and magnificent treasures have come from the Land of Peace to this world, by the Buddha's power or by the supernatural powers of the other two Bodhisattvas?"
At that time the Bodhisattva Flower Buddha took refuge in the Buddha's authority and said to the Buddha:
“How wonderful, Venerable Sir! This is unprecedented. Now, such magnificent and magnificent treasures are appearing in this Saha World, because of whose power?"
Buddha said:
"This is due to the miraculous power of Avalokitesvara and Dac Dai, so in this world such generous dignities appear."
“How wonderful, Venerable Sir! This is inconceivable. Because of the pure vows of the other two good men, we were able to use divine power to adorn the throne and make them appear in this world."
Buddha said:
“Like market, like market! Exactly what he said. The other two good men purified their wholesome roots for countless billions of na-dothas of hundreds of thousands of kalpas and attained the Asura Samadhi. Because they abide in that samadhi, they are able to manifest such things using their supernatural powers of transformation.
Again, Flower of Virtue! Now contemplate the worlds in the east. What do you see?”
At that time, Hoa Duc Tang used all of the Bodhisattva's celestial eyes to contemplate the world of the Buddhas in the East. He saw that in front of each of the other Buddhas, there were Avalokitesvara and Dac Dai The with the same dignities as above. They all respectfully made offerings to those Buddhas and said:
“Amitabha Buddha visited the Blessed One, is he not sick and has no affliction? Is it easy to walk? Does happiness make you happy?"
Southwest and north, the four directions at the four corners, the same way above and below.
When Flower Buddha Bodhisatta had seen such things, he was overjoyed and obtained something he had never had before, and said to the Buddha:
“How wonderful, Venerable Sir! How did those two Great Beings cultivate to achieve such samadhi?
Why is that? Because today those two Chiefs were able to display such dignities in the lands of those Buddhas.”
At that time the World-Honored One immediately used divine power to cause this assembly to see things that the Bodhisattva Flower Buddha had seen. When they finished seeing it, there were 32,000 people who generated the mind of Supreme Perfect Enlightenment.
At that time Flower Buddha Bodhisattva said to the Buddha:
“World-Honored One! These two righteous monks must have developed the mind of Supreme Perfect Enlightenment a long time ago. If so, in which Buddha's place did you generate your mind? May the Blessed One say it, at such a time it will be possible for all bodhisattvas to practice those vows and soon be fully accomplished."
Buddha said:
“Listen and think wisely! I will tell you clearly.”
“Very good, Lord. I'd love to hear it."
Buddha said:
“In the distant past, inconceivable, inconceivable, inconceivable, aeons ago, at that time I was king 100,000 times. The first time was near the end of the Great King's life. At that time, there was a world called Immeasurable Virtue Condensation An Lac Thi Vi. In that land, there was a Buddha named Kim Quang Lion, Tzuyu Hi Tathagata, Devotion, Rightly Enlightened One, Perfectly Knowledgeable, Well-versed in the World, Unsurpassed One, Ruler, Master of Heaven and Humanity, Buddha, The Ton. Now I will tell you about the magnificence and purity of that Buddha's land.
What do you think? Are the dignified and pure things in Amitabha Buddha's World of Bliss many?"
Venerable Hoa Duc Tibetan said:
“Very much, Venerable One! It is inconceivable and indescribable.”
The Buddha told Hoa Duc Tang:
“Suppose someone cut a hair into a hundred parts, and then dipped that part into the water of the sea.
What do you think? The drop of water on the tip of that hair, but compared to the capacity of the water in the great sea, which side has more?
Venerable Hoa Duc Tibetan said:
“Lord World Honored One! There is so much more water in the sea that it is impossible to give an example.”
“In the same way, Flower Virtue! You should know this. The dignities of Amitabha Buddha's land are like a drop of water on the tip of a hair, and the kingdom of the Golden Light Lion, Tu Du Hi Tathagata, is like the capacity of water in a great ocean. The number of bodhisattvas and shravakas between the two countries is also not the same.
The other Tathagata, the Golden Light Lion, Tu Du Hi Tathagata, also preached the Dharma of the Three Vehicles to sentient beings. Even if I talk about the dignified merits, the blessings, and the shravaka Bodhisattvas in that Buddha's land for the eons of aeons, it cannot end.
At that time, during the teaching period of Kim Quang Lion, Tu Du Hi Tathagata, there was a king named Uy Duc Vuong. He used the Dharma to rule over 1,000 worlds. That is why he is called the Dharma King. This Uy Duc Vuong had many sons. All of his princes had all the 28 marks of great men and all abided in the unsurpassed Way. The king has 76,000 parks and his princes play in them."
Venerable Hoa Duc Tibetan said to the Buddha:
“World-Honored One! Are there any women in that Buddha's land?"
Buddha said:
“Hey good man! The name of the woman in the other Buddha's land does not exist, let alone real. The sentient beings in that land all practice the pure holy life, have a pure rebirth, and they take the joy of meditation as food. For 84,000 years, that King Uy Duc always served the other Tathagata and did not practice any other Dharma. Knowing the king's sincere heart, the Buddha immediately expounded immeasurable Dharma seals to him.
What is the Immeasurable Dharma Seal? Hey Flower Buddha Bodhisattva! Every cultivator should make immeasurable vows.
Why is that? Because as a bodhisattva Mahasattva always cultivates immeasurable giving, immeasurable precepts, immeasurable patience, immeasurable effort, immeasurable meditation, and immeasurable wisdom. They have always practiced the Six Paramitas for immeasurable kalpas of birth and death, boundless compassion for sentient beings, adorned the immeasurable pure land, uttered immeasurable sounds, and practiced immeasurable eloquence.
Hey Tibetan Flower! Even their single dedication is immeasurable.
What is immeasurable dedication? It is the dedication of merit to all sentient beings in order to cause all sentient beings to attain birthlessness and enter the Buddhas' Parinirvana. This is called Immeasurable Devotion.
There is also immeasurable emptiness, immeasurable formlessness, and immeasurable wishlessness. As well as the immeasurable of non-action, the truth of celibacy, the unborn of Dharma-nature, non-attachment to the place of liberation, and Nirvana.
Hey good man! We now speak only briefly of such immeasurable dharmas.
Why is that? Because all dharmas have no limit.
Again, Flower of Virtue! There was a time when the King Uy Duc Vuong was entering the samadhi in his garden, when on the left and right sides of the king, two lotus flowers burst out from the ground. They have a dignified mixed color, a sweet fragrance like the heavenly flock. In each lotus flower there is a medium that transforms into birth and is sitting cross-legged. The first is named Bao Y. The second is named Bao Thuong.
When the King Uy Duc got up from meditation, he saw two pupils sitting in a lotus, so he asked in a verse:
'You are the heavens and the dragons
Yaksha-cut-table-map
Human or non-human?
Please specify your name.
Then the king's right pupil replied in verse:
'All dharmas are empty
Why are you asking for the name?
The Dharma of the past has perished
The future Dharma has not yet been born
France is not present
The fake asked whose name?
Neither law nor humanity
No dragons, no shahs
Whether human or non-human
Can't grasp at all'
The pupil on the left said in verse:
'All names are empty
Unbeatable name
All nameless dharmas
I want to ask the name again
Want to pray for truth?
Never heard of
The newly born Dharma is immediately destroyed
So why ask for a name?
Speak the name of the language
It's all fake
My name is Bao Y
That friend is Bao Thuong'
Hey Tibetan Flower! After saying that verse, the two mediums with Uy Duc Vuong went to the other Buddha's Dao Trang. When they arrived, their heads bowed at the Buddha's feet, circumambulated the right seven times, clasped their hands respectfully, and then stood aside.
At that time, the two pupils simultaneously asked the Buddha in verse:
'How to make offerings?
Supreme Two Tuc Ton
Please explain the meaning of animals
Listeners will obey
The scent of flowers and music
Food and medicine bed
Such offerings
Which type is the winner?'
At that time the other Buddha said in verse for the sake of his two pupils:
'Who generates bodhicitta?
Widely save sentient beings
Is an offering to Right Enlightenment
With three or two good generals
Even if you take Hang Ha
Cherish the dignified object vật
Devotion to the Tathagatas
Let's celebrate life together
Not equal to the heart
Devotion to Bodhi
This blessing is victory
Boundless and boundless
No more offering
Transcendence does not count tính
Such bodhicitta
All to Perfect Enlightenment'
At that time the two mediums said in verse:
'Demon Gods and Demons
Listen to the lion roar
Now in front of the Tathagata
Vow to generate bodhicitta
Infinite birth and death
Never knew
For only one being một
How many lifetimes of practicing Dao?
In these lifetimes
Their limitless escape
Practicing the Bodhi Way
Tired again
I am from now on
If the desire arises
That means cheating
All ten directions Buddha
Playground with fools
And so is the riddle
Now I'm telling the truth
Abandon lies
I am from now on
If you start Thanh Van mind
I don't like to practice Bodhi
That is to deceive the Blessed One
Don't ask for Duyen Giac
Only save yourself
Will in thousands of lifetimes
Great compassion for sentient beings
Like Buddhism today
Tranquility and dignified
When I attained the Dao fruit Đạo
Surpassing hundreds of thousands of thousands
The Land of No Thanh Van
Also not Pratyekabuddha
Purely Bodhisattvas
That number is infinite
Beings are pure and formless
Full of sublime bliss
Born in Right Enlightenment
Abbot of all Dharma Organs
This wish if it's true
Shocked throughout Dai Thien'
When he finished saying such a verse, there was a commotion everywhere. Hundreds of thousands of kinds of gentle music resound. The beautiful shining clothes swirled and fell. And in the air, the gods poured down powdered incense; That fragrance pervades everywhere and delights the minds of sentient beings.”
The Buddha told Hoa Duc Tang:
“What do you think? The old Uy Duc Vuong who had no one else was my predecessor. The other two pupils, now are Avalokitesvara and Dak Dai Bodhisattva Mahasattva.
Hey good man! In that Buddha's place, those two bodhisattvas first developed the mind of unsurpassed, perfect enlightenment."
At that time, Hoa Duc Tang said to the Buddha:
“How wonderful, Venerable Sir! Although these two good men had never generated bodhicitta, they had attained such profound wisdom and attained the title that they could not grasp.
White World Honored One! These two Righteous Ones must have made offerings and made merit at the places of the Buddhas of the past."
“Hey good man! The number of sands of the other Ganges can still be counted. However, the number of Buddhas of the past to which these two Great Beings made offerings and cultivated good roots is incalculable. Although they have not yet generated bodhichitta, they are already able to do inconceivable things to dignify themselves. Among sentient beings, they are the most mighty.”
At that time Flower Buddha Bodhisattva said to the Buddha:
“World-Honored One! Where is the Land of Boundless Virtues Gathering An Blissful Appearance of the past, where is it now?"
Buddha said:
“Hey good man! The World of Peace in the West now, in the old days called Immeasurable Virtue Gathering An Blessing Show."
Flower Buddha Bodhisattva said to the Buddha that:
“World-Honored One! May you preach so that immeasurable beings can benefit greatly. In which country will this Avalokitesvara be able to attain Supreme, Perfect Enlightenment? How is the world dignified? What will be His glorious title? What about the life spans of the sravakas and bodhisattvas there, up to their work until they become buddhas, how is that?
If the World-Honored One spoke out about this bodhisattva's vows and vows, when the other bodhisattvas heard those vows, they would definitely practice in order to be fulfilled."
Buddha said:
“How good! Listen! I will preach to you.”
Venerable Hoa Duc Tibetan said:
"Yes sir! I'd love to hear it."
Buddha said:
“Hey good man! Amitabha Buddha's immeasurable life span is hundreds of thousands of kotis of kalpas, and it will eventually end.
Hey good man! In the incalculable future in the future, Amitabha Buddha will enter Parinirvana.
After entering Parinirvana, the duration of the Dharma stay will be the same as the life span of that Buddha. The number of sentient beings liberated is the same as when he was still alive.
After that Buddha enters Nirvana, there will be sentient beings who do not see the Buddha. However, there will be bodhisattvas who attain the Samadhi of Remembrance and they always see Amitabha Buddha.
Again, good man! After that Buddha passes away, all the treasures, bathing ponds, lotus flowers, and rows of precious trees will often perform the Dharma sound and will be exactly the same as when that Buddha was alive.
Hey good man! On the night that Amitabha Buddha's Dharma is completely destroyed, right after midnight, when the dawn is about to break, Bodhisattva Avalokitevara sits cross-legged under the seven-jeweled Bodhi tree and will become a bodhisattva. Unsurpassed Perfection, Perfect Enlightenment, alias Universal Light Duke of Virtue, Son King Tathagata, Devotion, Right Understanding, Wisdom and Happiness, Worldly Comprehension, Unsurpassed One, Master of Master, Master of Heaven and Humanity, Buddha, The Ton.
The land of that Buddha will naturally have seven wonderful and wonderful treasures. Even if the Buddhas, World-Honored Ones, in the kalpas of the Eternal City, talked about the dignities of that place, it would not be over.
Hey good man! I will now give an example for you to understand. Like the dignities in the land of the Golden Light Lion, Tzuyu Hi Tathagata, so the land of the Buddha Pho Quang Duc Son King Tathagata is hundreds of thousands of times, billions of times, billions of times, and even more The number of examples is also unknown.
The land of that Buddha does not have the names of Thanh Van and Pratyekabuddha; There are only bodhisattvas who fill that land.”
Flower Buddha Bodhisattva said to the Buddha that:
“World-Honored One! Will the land of that Buddha still be called An Lac?"
Buddha said:
“Hey good man! The land of that Buddha will be called the Ornamental Collection of Universal Treasures.
Hey good man! During the time when Buddha Pho Quang Duc Son King Tathagata lived in the world, Dac Dai The Bodhisattva would stay close and make offerings until he entered Nirvana.
After the other Buddha has entered Nirvana, the Bodhisattva Mahasattva will uphold the Dharma until its extinction.
After the extinction of the Dharma, the Bodhisattva Mahasattva Buddha will live in that land and become the Supreme, Perfect Enlightenment, with the name of Goodness, Virtue and Virtue, Treasure King Tathagata, Devotion, Right Understanding, and Perfect Conduct. , The Worldly Companion, the Supreme Being, the Master of the Law, the Master of Heaven, the Master, the Buddha, the World-Honored One.
The kingdom, the light, the longevity, the bodhisattvas, and until that Buddha's reign of Dharma is the same as that of Universal Light, the Son King Tathagata—no difference.
If there are good men, good men and women who hear the name of the Blessed One, the Virtuous Virtue Treasure King Tathagata, then they will all attain unreturnable in Supreme, Perfect Enlightenment.
Again, good man! If any woman hears the names of the past Golden Light, Lion King, Tu Du Hi Tathagata and the future Thien Chu Cong Duc Bao Vuong Tathagata, they will eliminate 40 billion kalpas of karma and never live again. female body. They will not turn back from the Supreme Perfection of Perfect Enlightenment, always seeing the Buddha, hearing and upholding the Dharma, and making offerings to the Sangha. After giving up that body, in the next life they can go forth from the home life, achieve without hindrance in eloquence, and quickly attain the monastic disciplines."
At that time in the Dharma Assembly, there were 60 million people in the assembly, exclaiming in unison:
"Namo Ten Directions Eight Nirvana Buddha!"
Then they unanimously decided to generate the mind of Supreme Perfect Enlightenment. At that time, the Buddha prophesied that they would attain Supreme, Perfect Enlightenment
Again there are 84,000 na-dotha sentient beings who are far from the dust, and in the dharmas, they attain the pure Dharma eye. 7,000 Bhikkhu-stilts are smuggled to the mind.
At that time, Avalokitesvara and Bodhisattva Dac Dai used their divine power to make the assembly here see innumerable Buddhas, World-Honored Ones in the ten directions, and prophesied to them the Supreme Perfect Enlightenment. When they finished, they all praised:
“How wonderful, Venerable Sir! All the other Tathagatas gave such predictions to those two Great Beings."
At that time Flower Buddha Bodhisattva said to the Buddha:
“World-Honored One! If there were good men, good sons, and women who, with respect to this profound Sutra of the Tathagata, would receive, uphold, read, recite, preach, copy, and spread it widely, how many blessings would they receive? Only the Tathagata should distinguish and explain.
Why is that? Because in the future evil lives, virtuous and silver sentient beings will not believe and uphold this profound sutra of the Tathagata. Because of that condition, they will have to endure suffering all night long and it is very difficult to be liberated.
White World Honored One! May you have mercy and preach to benefit sentient beings.
Again, Venerable One! In today's assembly there are many good men, good men, good women with a sharp mind, and they will make a vast dome of light in the future life."
Buddha said:
“Blessed, Flower Virtue! Listen! I will preach to you.”
Venerable Hoa Duc Tibetan said:
“May the Blessed One teach! I'd love to hear it."
Buddha said:
“If there were any good man who would put all the sentient beings in the Three Thousand Great Thousand Worlds on his shoulders for the rest of his life, and then make offerings according to their desires, such as clothes, food, and medicine. ladders, and beds, how much merit is there in that person's time?"
“Very much, Venerable One! If, with loving-kindness and compassion, made offerings according to the wishes of just one sentient being, then that merit would already be immeasurable, let alone all."
Buddha said:
“If there are good men, good sons, good women, with respect to this sutra, who receive, uphold, read, recite, preach, transcribe, spread it widely, and make all kinds of offerings, then generate bodhicitta, then merit merit. Their get will be hundreds of thousands of thousands of times more than above. It is impossible to give an example.”
Flower Buddha Bodhisattva said to the Buddha that:
“World-Honored One! From this day on, I will regard this sutra preached by the Tathagata, and the three names of the Buddhas above—one of the Buddha of the past and two of the Buddhas of the future—and always uphold, read, recite, preach, transcribe, and propagate widely. I will give up greed, hatred and delusion and develop the mind of Supreme Perfect Enlightenment. This vow will never lie!
White World Honored One! I pray that when I become a Buddha, if any woman hears the Dharma like this, in the next life they will never take the female body again. After I have transferred my female body, I will prophesy to them the Unsurpassed Perfect Enlightenment with the title of Separation of Tathagata, Devotion, Perfect Enlightenment."
When the Buddha finished preaching this sutra, Flower Buddha Bodhisattva Mahasattva, together with the bhikkhus, bhikkhunis, bodhisattvas, shravakas, gods, dragons, yakshas, and gandharvas , asura, kalala, urgent-nala, mahal-la, human and non-human, when they heard the Buddha's teaching, they all generated great joy.END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).BUDDHIST DHARMA WHEEL.GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THE WOMEN OF THE SAKYA CLAN CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.7/7/2021.
