Myoho-renge-kyo see pagoda eleventh
At that time, there are seven pagodas in front of the Buddha, five hundred and ten years high, two hundred and fifty years in length, gushing out from the ground, living in the air, all kinds of treasures and Zhuang school. Five thousand columns, tens of millions of niches, countless flags are strictly decorated, and the treasure is a trillion treasure bells and hangs on it. On all sides, the fragrance of Tamara sandalwood comes out, filling the world. Its banners are covered with gold, silver, glass, clams, agate, pearls, roses, and seven treasures, and are as high as the palace of the four heavenly kings. Thirty-three days, rainy mandala flowers, offering pagodas. The rest of the heavenly dragons, the yakshas, the gandharvas, the asuras, the garudas, the kinaras, the maharajas, the non-human beings, and so on, the billions of billions of people, with all the flowers, incense, flowers, flags, and music, make offerings to the pagoda, respect, respect, and admiration.
At that time, a loud voice came out of the pagoda, and he sighed: 'Good, good, Shakyamuni, the world-honored one, can teach the Bodhisattva Dharma, the Buddha's protection, and the Mystic Lotus Sutra with equal great wisdom for the public. If this is the case, the Lord Shakyamuni, who said it, is true. Then the four people saw that the great pagoda dwelt in the air, and heard the sound of the pagoda, and they all rejoiced, and there was no wonder that there was no one, and they got up from their seats, and respectfully clasped their palms, but they lived on one side.
At that time, the Bodhisattva Mahasattva, the famous Great Happiness, said, knowing all the heavens, people, asuras, and so on in the world, and the heart doubted, and the White Buddha said, "By what cause is this pagoda gushing out of the earth, and in it is a sound?'" Then the Buddha said to the Bodhisattva: 'In this pagoda, there is a whole body, which is the world, the immeasurable trillions of monks in the east, the name of the country is pure, and there is a Buddha in it, called many treasures. When the Buddha practiced the Bodhisattva Path, he made a great vow: "If I become a Buddha and disappear, in the land of the Ten Directions, there is a Dharma Sutra, my pagoda and temple, in order to listen to the scriptures, emerge in front of it, to be a proof, praise and good." ”’
'When the Buddha has attained enlightenment, and when he is about to die, he will tell the bhikshus in the midst of the celestial beings that after I have attained the Buddha's enlightenment, he who wants to make offerings to my whole body should erect a great pagoda. Its Buddha has the power of divine power, the ten worlds, everywhere, if there is a person who says the Lotus Sutra, the pagoda of the other is pouring out in front of it, and the whole body is in the tower, and praises: "Good and good." ”’
Dale said, "Now many treasures are like the tower, hearing the Lotus Sutra, pouring out from the ground, and praised: "Good, good." ”’
At that time, Dale said that the Bodhisattva, with the divine power of Rulai, the White Buddha said: "World-honored, I would like to see this Buddha body." The Buddha said to the Bodhisattva Mahasattva: 'It is a Buddha with many treasures, and he has a deep wish, and if my pagoda is in front of the Buddhas for the sake of listening to the Lotus Sutra, and he wants to show the four beings in his body, then the Buddha will be the Buddhas and the Buddhas in the ten worlds, and they will all be gathered in one place, and then my body will appear in the ears.' ’
'Dale said, "I am the one who has been the Buddhas and is in the ten worlds, and I should gather now." ’
Dale said to the Buddha, "World-honored one, we also want to see the Buddhas of the World-Honored One, and worship and make offerings. Then the Buddha let go of the white light, and then he saw the five hundred billion Buddhas in the east of the land such as the Ganges River and the sand, and all the lands were made of glass, and the treasure trees and clothes were solemn, and countless billions of Bodhisattvas filled them, and they were covered with treasure curtains and treasure nets. The Buddhas of other countries speak the Dharma with great sounds, and see immeasurable trillions of Bodhisattvas, all over the countries, and speak the Dharma for all. The same is true of the south, northwest, four-dimensional, up and down, and white light illumination.
At that time, the Buddhas of the ten directions said to the Bodhisattvas, 'Good man, I should go to the world of Suva and the Buddha Shakyamuni Buddha and make offerings to the pagoda of many treasures. 'The world of the time is pure, the glass is the earth, the treasure tree is solemn, the gold is the rope, the boundary is the eight paths, there are no settlements, villages, cities, seas, rivers, mountains and rivers, forests. Burn the great treasure incense, the mandala flower, all over the land, with the treasure net curtain, Luo covered it, hanging all the treasure bells. But this congregation will be left behind, and the heavens and men will be placed in other lands. At that time, each of the Buddhas will be a great bodhisattva, as a waiter, to the world of sampa, and each will go to the treasure tree. One by one treasure tree, five hundred years high, branches, leaves, flowers, fruits, the second solemn, under the treasure tree, there is a master's seat, high five by ten years, also with a big treasure and school decoration. Then all the Buddhas sat on their knees. If it spreads all over the three thousand worlds, and the body divided into Shakyamuni Buddha and one side is still unfinished.
When Shakyamuni Buddha wanted to accept the Buddhas of his own body, he changed each of the eight directions into two hundred billion other countries, all of which were pure, free of hells, hungry ghosts, beasts, and asuras, and moved the heavens, people, and places them in other lands. The country of the transformation, also to the glaze as the ground, the treasure tree is solemn, the tree is five hundred years high, the branches, leaves, flowers, fruits, the second strict decoration, there are treasure masters under the tree, five years high, all kinds of treasures are thought to be the Zhuang school. There is also no sea, no river, and the true Lintuo Mountain, Mahamo Zhenlintuo Mountain, Tiewei Mountain, Datiewei Mountain, Sumeru Mountain, etc., the king of the mountains, all are the land of one Buddha. The treasure land is flat, the treasure is exposed and covered all over it, the flags are hung and covered, the great treasure incense is burned, and the treasures of the heavens are all over the land.
Shakyamuni Buddha came and sat down for all the Buddhas, and returned to the eight directions, each changing into two hundred billion and other countries, all of which were pure, free of hells, hungry ghosts, beasts, and asuras, and moved the heavens, people, and places in other lands. The country of the transformation is also based on the glaze, the treasure tree is solemn, the tree is five hundred years high, the branches, leaves, flowers, fruits, and the second are solemn, and there are treasure masters under the tree, and the height is five by ten years, and it is also decorated with a great treasure. There is also no sea, no river, and the true Lintuo Mountain, Mahamo Zhenlintuo Mountain, Tiewei Mountain, Datiewei Mountain, Sumeru Mountain, etc., the king of the mountains, all are the land of one Buddha. The treasure land is flat, the treasure is covered with dew curtains, and the flags are hung on it, and the great treasure incense is burned, and the heavens are full of treasures.
At that time, the body of Shakyamuni Buddha in the East, hundreds of billions of Buddhas in the land of the Ganges River and other lands, each speaking of the Dharma, came to gather here, such as the Buddhas of the tenth party, all came to gather, sitting in the eight directions, and then one side, four hundred billion Buddhas from other lands, such as coming and filling it. At that time, all the Buddhas sat under the treasure tree, sitting on the master's seat, and they all sent attendants to inquire about Shakyamuni Buddha, and each of them was full of treasures, and said:
'Good man, go to the Buddha of Shakyamuni and the Buddha of Shakyamuni, as I say: "Less sickness, less annoyance, good spirit, and the Bodhisattva, the sound of the people, all the peace?" With this Baohua and scattered Buddha offerings, and as a saying: "He is a Buddha, and wants to open this pagoda", the Buddhas sent envoys, and the same is true. ’
At that time, Shakyamuni Buddha and the Buddha who saw the doppelganger had come to gather, and each sat on the seat of the master, and they all heard that the Buddhas and wanted to open the pagoda together. That is, from the seat, dwelling in the void. All the four congregations, stand up, put their palms together, and contemplate the Buddha with one mind. So Shakyamuni Buddha opened the door of the Seven Treasures Pagoda with his right finger, and made a loud sound, such as closing the key and opening the big city gate. Even when all the congregations are in the hall, they all see the many treasures such as coming, sitting on the master's seat in the pagoda, and the whole body does not disperse, as if entering meditation. I also heard his words: 'Good and good, Shakyamuni Buddha, quickly say that it is the Lotus Sutra, and I have come here to listen to the scriptures. At that time, the four congregations saw that the Buddha of the past had been destroyed by immeasurable trillions of eons and said so, and sighed that there had never been, and they gathered the Heavenly Treasure Huaju, the Buddha of Sanduo and the Buddha Shakyamuni.
At that time, the Buddha of many treasures, in the pagoda, was divided into half a seat with Shakyamuni Buddha, and said, 'Shakyamuni Buddha, you can sit here.' Immediately Shakyamuni Buddha entered his pagoda, sat on half of it, and sat on his knees. At that time, the public saw that the two were sitting on the throne of the master in the Seven Treasure Pagoda, and each of them was reciting: 'The Buddha seat is lofty, but I hope that if you come to use the power of the gods, we will be in the void.' 'Instant Shakyamuni Buddha, with his divine power, connected to the multitude, all in the void. With a loud voice, he proclaimed to the four congregations: 'Now is the time for anyone who can speak the Lotus Sutra in this land of Suva.' If you come soon to enter Nirvana, the Buddha wants to use this wonderful Lotus Sutra to pay for it. ’
At that time, the Lord wanted to reaffirm this righteousness, and said:
The Holy Lord of the World, Although he has been extinguished for a long time, In the pagoda, it is still the Dharma,
Everyone is not diligent in the law. This Buddha extinction, without the central number of eons,
Listen to the law everywhere, and meet the dead. The Buddha wished, After I extinguished,
In the past, it is often to listen to the law. And I doppelgänger, immeasurable Buddhas,
Such as Hengsha, etc., come to listen to the Fa. and see the extinction, many treasures such as coming,
Each of his disciples, the celestials, the dragons, the gods, the offerings,
Lingfa has lived for a long time, so he has come here. For the Buddhas to sit, with the power of the gods,
Move the immeasurable multitude, and make the kingdom pure. All the Buddhas, under the treasure tree,
Such as the pure pool, lotus blossom solemn. Under its treasure tree, the seat of the masters,
The Buddha sits on it, bright and stern, like a torch in the night.
Out of the wonderful fragrance, all over the ten countries, all living beings are scented, overjoyed,
For example, a strong wind blows small branches. It is convenient to make the law live for a long time.
Tell the public, after I am extinguished, who can support and read the scriptures,
Now in front of the Buddha, say your vows. Its many treasures of the Buddha, although it has been extinguished for a long time,
With a great vow, and the master roared. Treasure as it comes, and with my body,
The Buddha who has gathered should know this meaning. Buddhas, etc., who can protect the Dharma,
Make a great wish, so that you can live for a long time. It has the ability to protect, the one who has this sutra,
then it is an offering, I and many treasures. This Buddha of many treasures, in the pagoda,
Traveling in all directions, for the sake of the scriptures, also re-offering, all come to the Buddha,
Solemn ornaments, Whoever is of the world, if he speaks this scripture, he sees me,
Many treasures such as lai, and all the Buddhas. All good men, each thinks,
This is a difficult matter, and it is advisable to make a big wish. The rest of the classics, the number is like constant sand,
That said, it is not difficult. If you take Sumeru, throw it to the other side,
Countless Buddha lands have not been embarrassed. If you use your fingers to move the worlds,
Throwing away other countries, there is no difficulty. If there is a top, for the multitudes to speak,
There is no immeasurable remnant, and there is no difficulty. If the Buddha is destroyed, in the evil world,
If you can say this scripture, it is difficult. If there were people who held the void in their hands,
And with the march, there is no difficulty. After I am destroyed, if I hold my own book,
If you make people write, it is difficult. If you put the earth on the armor of your feet,
Ascending to Brahma, there is no difficulty. After the Buddha's extinction, in the evil world,
Reading this sutra for the time being, it is difficult to do so. If you burn it, Bear the hay,
There is no burning in the middle, and there is no difficulty. After I have extinguished, if I hold this sutra,
If you say yes for one person, it will be difficult. If you hold 80,000 or 4,000 Dharma Tibets,
The Twelve Sutras, Speeches for People, so that all listeners, have six magical powers,
Even if it can be so, it is not difficult. After I am destroyed, listen to this scripture,
If you ask about its meaning, it is difficult. If people say the law, make billions,
Immeasurable, Hengsha sentient beings, Arhats, with six divine powers,
Although it is beneficial, it is not difficult. After I am destroyed, if I can be enshrined,
If it is classic, it is difficult. I am the Buddha's way, in the immeasurable land,
From the beginning to the present, the scriptures have been widely spoken, and among them, this sutra is the first.
If there is one that can hold it, then hold the Buddha body. Good men, after I have perished,
Who can take it, read and recite this sutra, and now say his vows before the Buddha.
This sutra is difficult to hold, but if you hold it temporarily, I will rejoice, and so will the Buddhas,
If so, the Buddhas sighed. Yes, it is brave, yes it is diligent,
Those who hold the precepts and do the first Buddha are the ones who have attained the disease and the supreme Buddha's path.
To be able to read and hold this sutra in the next life, is a true Buddha, and lives in a pure and good place.
After the Buddha is extinguished, he can understand its meaning, and he is the eye of the heavens and the world.
In fear of the world, it can be said for a moment that all celestial beings should be offered.
