Bì Huá Jīng Juǎn Dì Wǔ (The Sutra of Compassion, Volume 5)

Translated by Tripiṭaka Master Dharmarakṣa (三藏曇無讖 [san cang tan wu chen]) from Northern Liang (北涼天竺 [bei liang tian zhu])

{4} Chapter Four: Predictions of Future Buddhahood for Various Bodhisattvas (Part 3)
[0196a07] The Buddha (佛 [fu]) told Jìyì Púsà (寂意菩薩 [ji yi pu sa]): "Good man! At that time, Baohai Fànzhì (寶海梵志 [bao hai fan zhi]) again spoke to the tenth prince, Ruǎnxīn (軟心 [ruan xin]), and his aspiration was just like that. The prince's (王子 [wang zi]) vows were all like those of Āchù Púsà (阿閦菩薩 [a chu pu sa]). He said to the Buddha (佛 [fu]): 'Bhagavān (世尊 [shi zun])! If my vows are fulfilled and I achieve benefit, may all sentient beings (一切眾生 [yi qie zhong sheng]) be able to contemplate the realms of the Buddhas (諸佛境界 [zhu fu jing jie]). May chándànxiāng (栴檀香 [zhan tan xiang]) and yōutuódá póluóxiāng (優陀婆羅香 [you tuo po luo xiang]) naturally arise in their hands, and with these fragrances, may they make offerings to the Buddhas (諸佛 [zhu fu]).'

[0196a13] "At that time, Baozang Rúlái (寶藏如來 [bao cang ru lai]) praised the prince (王子 [wang zi]), saying: 'Excellent! Excellent! Good man! Your vows are truly extraordinary. You vow that chándànxiāng (栴檀香 [zhan tan xiang]) and yōutuódá póluóxiāng (優陀婆羅香 [you tuo po luo xiang]) will naturally appear in the hands of sentient beings (眾生 [zhong sheng]), and that they will all be able to contemplate the realms of the Buddhas (諸佛境界 [zhu fu jing jie]) with pure mindfulness. Because of this, your name is now changed to Xiāngshǒu (香手 [xiang shou]).' The Buddha (佛 [fu]) told Xiāngshǒu (香手 [xiang shou]): 'Good man! In the future, after one Aṣaṃkhyeya Kalpa (阿僧祇劫 [a seng qi jie]) as numerous as the sands of the Ganges (恒河沙等 [heng he sha deng]), and in the latter part of the second Aṣaṃkhyeya Kalpa (阿僧祇劫 [a seng qi jie]), after Āchù Rúlái (阿閦如來 [a chu ru lai]) enters Parinirvāṇa (般涅槃 [ban nie pan]), and after the Right Dharma (正法 [zheng fa]) has been extinguished for seven days, you shall then attain Anuttarā Samyak Saṃbodhi (阿耨多羅三藐三菩提 [a nou duo luo san miao san pu ti]). Your Buddha-world (佛世界 [fu shi jie]) shall still be called Miàoyào (妙樂 [miao le]), and the Buddha (佛 [fu]) shall be named Jīnhuá Rúlái (金華如來 [jin hua ru lai]), Arhat (應 [ying]), Samyak-saṃbuddha (正遍知 [zheng bian zhi]), Vidyācaraṇa-saṃpanna (明行足 [ming xing zu]), Sugata (善逝 [shan shi]), Lokavid (世間解 [shi jian jie]), Anuttara (無上士 [wu shang shi]), Puruṣadamya-sārathi (調御丈夫 [diao yu zhang fu]), Śāstā Devamanuṣyāṇāṃ (天人師 [tian ren shi]), Buddha (佛 [fu]), Bhagavān (世尊 [shi zun]).'

Good man! At that time, Xiāngshǒu Púsà (香手菩薩 [xiang shou pu sa]) prostrated his head to the ground before Baozang Fó (寶藏佛 [bao cang fu]), and at that moment, in the Jambudvīpa (閻浮園 [yan fu yuan]), as he had spoken, zhānbóhuā (M蔔華 [bo hua]) rained down all around.

At that time, Shīzi Wángzǐ (師子王子 [shi zi wang zi]) offered a banner of precious jewels (珍寶幢 [zhen bao chuang]) to Baozang Rúlái (寶藏如來 [bao cang ru lai]).

His son then said: 'As for my present vow, shall I choose a pure world, or an impure one?' His father replied: 'If there is a Bodhisattva (菩薩 [pu sa]) who has achieved great compassion (大悲 [da bei]), then he may choose an impure world. Why? Because he desires to skillfully tame and purify the defilements of sentient beings (眾生 [zhong sheng]). Such matters you know yourself.'

As the Buddha (佛 [fu]) has said, the auxiliary dharmas of Bodhi (助菩提法 [zhu pu ti fa]) are the Dharma-gates for acquiring purity and transcending saṃsāra (生死 [sheng si]). Good man!

Youth! These are called the auxiliary dharmas of Bodhi (助菩提法 [zhu pu ti fa]). Such practice is the mindfulness that leads to Bodhi (菩提 [pu ti]). Youth! Such Bodhi (菩提 [pu ti]) should now be desired. This path is pure, and one should single-mindedly make vows. This path is undefiled, for the mind is pure. This path is straight and without deceit, for defilements are cut off. This path is peaceful, even leading to the city of Nirvāṇa (涅槃城 [nie pan cheng]).

At that time, I shall attain the unsurpassed path. Bhagavān (世尊 [shi zun])!

At that time, the third youth, named Píshèjūduō (毘舍掬多 [pi she ju duo]), was before the Buddha (佛 [fu]), with a seven-jeweled couch—on which was spread a valuable cushion worth ten million taels of gold. On the couch, a pure gold vessel filled with seven treasures and a pure gold ewer with a wonderful seven-jeweled staff were placed—making offerings to the Bhagavān (世尊 [shi zun]) and the Bhikṣu-saṅgha (比丘僧 [bi qiu seng]). Having made this offering, he said to the Buddha (佛 [fu]): 'Bhagavān (世尊 [shi zun])! In my future life, after one Aṣaṃkhyeya Kalpa (阿僧祇劫 [a seng qi jie]) as numerous as the sands of the Ganges (恒河沙等 [heng he sha deng]), and in the latter part of the second Aṣaṃkhyeya Kalpa (阿僧祇劫 [a seng qi jie]) as numerous as the sands of the Ganges, entering the Xián Jié (賢劫 [xian jie]), I vow to attain Anuttarā Samyak Saṃbodhi (阿耨多羅三藐三菩提 [a nou duo luo san miao san pu ti]). At that time, the lifespan of humans will decrease, entering the initial five defilements. All sentient beings (所有眾生 [suo you zhong sheng]) will be heavily afflicted with greed (貪婬 [tan yin]), hatred (瞋恚 [chen hui]), ignorance (愚癡 [yu chi]), stinginess, and jealousy, practicing wrong views, following evil companions, with unwholesome roots covering their minds, their minds sinking and losing wholesome roots, far from right view, living by wrong livelihood. After Jiānàjiāmóuní (伽那迦牟尼 [jia na jia mou ni]) enters Parinirvāṇa (般涅槃 [ban nie pan]), and after the Right Dharma (正法 [zheng fa]) has been extinguished, all sentient beings (一切眾生 [yi qie zhong sheng]) will be blind, without the eye of wisdom, without a teacher to follow.

[0201b06] "'Furthermore, there are four dharmas that cause the mind to be tireless. What are the four? First, giving (行施 [xing shi]); second, listening to Dharma (聽法 [ting fa]); third, cultivating; and fourth, embracing sentient beings (攝取眾生 [she qu zhong sheng]). These four dharmas cause the mind to be tireless, and Bodhisattvas (菩薩 [pu sa]) should learn them.

Purity of precepts due to egolessness; purity of samādhi due to the absence of sentient beings (眾生 [zhong sheng]); purity of wisdom due to the absence of life; and purity of liberation and insight due to the absence of self. These are the four pure dharmas that, when cultivated by a Bodhisattva (菩薩 [pu sa]), enable them to quickly attain Anuttarā Samyak Saṃbodhi (阿耨多羅三藐三菩提 [a nou duo luo san miao san pu ti]), turn the Dharma wheel (法輪 [fa lun]) of emptiness, turn the inconceivable Dharma wheel (法輪 [fa lun]), turn the immeasurable Dharma wheel (法輪 [fa lun]), turn the egoless Dharma wheel (法輪 [fa lun]), turn the inexpressible Dharma wheel (法輪 [fa lun]), turn the supra-mundane Dharma wheel (法輪 [fa lun]), turn the all-pervading Dharma wheel (法輪 [fa lun]), and turn the subtle wheel that gods and humans (天人 [tian ren]) cannot turn.

At that time, among the one thousand youths of Baohai Fànzhì (寶海梵志 [bao hai fan zhi]), all except one had been exhorted to arouse the Anuttarā Samyak Saṃbodhi (阿耨多羅三藐三菩提 [a nou duo luo san miao san pu ti]) mind, like Jūliúsūn (拘留孫 [ju liu sun]), Jiānàjiāmóuní (迦那伽牟尼 [jia na jia mou ni]), Jiāshè (迦葉 [jia ye]), and Mílè (彌勒 [mi lei]). The fifth, named Shīzi Guāngmíng (師子光明 [shi zi guang ming]), was also like this. Among the thousand people, except for one, all the others vowed to attain Anuttarā Samyak Saṃbodhi (阿耨多羅三藐三菩提 [a nou duo luo san miao san pu ti]) in the Xián Jié (賢劫 [xian jie]). The youngest among them was named Chílìjiéjí (持力捷疾 [chi li jie ji]). Baohai Fànzhì (寶海梵志 [bao hai fan zhi]) again taught him to arouse the Anuttarā Samyak Saṃbodhi (阿耨多羅三藐三菩提 [a nou duo luo san miao san pu ti]) mind, saying: 'Good man! Do not now consider the distant future. You should abandon mental activity and give rise to great compassion (大悲心 [da bei xin]) for all sentient beings (諸眾生 [zhu zhong sheng]).' At that time, Fànzhì (梵志 [fan zhi]) spoke verses to Chílìjiéjí (持力捷疾 [chi li jie ji]), saying:

"'Sentient beings (眾生 [zhong sheng]) encompassed by the aggregates, elements, and sense-fields,
Fearing aging, sickness, and death,
Falling into the ocean of craving,
Imprisoned in the terrifying prison of the three realms of existence,
Drinking the poison of defilements,
Harm each other.
For a long night, they fall into
The ocean of suffering,
Blind and without eyes,
Losing the right path,
Long abiding in saṃsāra (生死 [sheng si]),
Covered by the mechanism,
Sentient beings (眾生 [zhong sheng]) in the three realms of existence,
Burn with various sufferings.
Having abandoned right view,
They abide in wrong views,
Revolving in saṃsāra (生死 [sheng si]),
Among the five paths,
Without rest,
Like a chariot wheel.
There are sentient beings (眾生 [zhong sheng])
Who have lost the Dharma eye,
Blind and unable to see,
And without protector.
You should cultivate
Immeasurable wisdom,
To free them from ignorance and delusion,
And cause them to arouse Bodhi (菩提 [pu ti]),
You should be a good friend
To sentient beings (眾生 [zhong sheng]),
To burn away the bonds of craving,
And untie the bonds of defilement (煩惱縛 [fan nao fu]).
You should, for these,
Arouse the Bodhi-mind (菩提心 [pu ti xin]).
Those who have lost the Dharma eye,
Are covered by ignorance,
To free them from ignorance,
You should give them the supreme path.
The prison of saṃsāra (生死有獄 [sheng si you yu]),
Burns with great fire,
Give them the sweet dew (甘露 [gan lu]) of Dharma,
To make them fully satisfied.
You should now quickly go
To the Buddha's (佛 [fu]) place,
Prostrate at his feet,
And achieve great benefit.
You should, at the Buddha's (佛 [fu]) place,
Make excellent and supreme vows,
The vows are excellent and subtle,
Remember them well.
In the future, you shall
Tame gods and humans,
And also vow to bestow
Fearlessness upon sentient beings (眾生 [zhong sheng]),
Deliver and liberate all of them,
And also enable them to be complete
In faculties, powers, and enlightenment factors,
Rain down the great Dharma rain,
Bestow the water of wisdom,
And extinguish the fire of suffering
Of sentient beings (眾生 [zhong sheng]).'
