Fortunate Aeon
At the end of the previous kalpa,
when the world was engulfed by
flood, one thousand golden lotuses
arose from the great ocean. Beings
residing in the heavens, seeing this
auspicious sign, understood it as a
harbinger of the thousand Buddhas
who would brighten the coming
aeon. This kalpa would be known
as the Fortunate Aeon, a time when
thousands of generations would
have the opportunity to free them
selves from all forms of suffering.
The Bhadrakalpa is our present
aeon, and Sakyamuni, the Buddha of
our present age, is the fourth of the
one thousand Buddhas. Appearing
in India twenty-five centuries ago,
the Buddha taught the Dharma for
nearly five decades. Through his
teachings on stupas and images he
presented the body of the Buddha;
through the Sutras he communi
cated the sound of enlightened
knowledge, the Buddhas speech;
through his own awakened aware
ness he transmitted the receptacle
of the inner light of Bodhicitta,
the mind established in the enlight
ened view. Thus he revealed the path
that purifies and transforms body,
speech, and mind.
Among the teachings given by
Sakyamuni Buddha is the Bhadra-
kalpika Sutra, a celebration of the
great procession of Buddhas who
will appear in the world. In its
teaching it reveals the inner heart of
liberation and the path followed by

PREFACE
Bhadrakalpika Sutra occupies a special place in the
hearts of the Tibetan people. Its teachings support the
efforts of all who seek enlightened knowledge, and its presen
tation of the one thousand Buddhas of our aeon inspires
confidence in the enduring nature of the Dharma. The teach
ings emphasize the paramitas, the perfections that culmi
nate in the prajnaparamita: the perfection of enlightened
knowledge, mother of all the Buddhas. The paramitas are
the keys that open our hearts to the meaning and value of
the Buddha, and reveal a direct channel to complete and
perfect enlightenment.
Reading, reciting, and listening to the Bhadrakalpika Sutra
invokes the blessings of all the Buddhas whose coming it
heralds; thus the Bhadrakalpika has always been counted
among the most auspicious of texts. So important has this work
been considered in Tibet, that the original compilers of the
Tibetan Buddhist Canon placed the Bhadrakalpika first in the
general Sutra section, immediately preceding the Lalitavistara
Sutra, the detailed account of the life and teachings of the
Buddha Sakyamuni.
The Bhadrakalpika Sutra was often read and recited in my
home, as it was in the homes of many Tibetan families upon
important occasions. We always felt very fortunate to hear these
auspicious verses and receive their benefits. My parents
edition was exceptionally beautiful, for it was illustrated with
fine drawings of the thousand Buddhas, as well as im
ages of Bodhisattvas, Arhats, Vidyadharas, Yidams, Dharma-
palas, and stupas, which do not appear in other printings of
this Sutra. In later years, remembering this unique edition and
concerned for its preservation, I made efforts to locate a
copy and, having found one, reprinted it as a special supple
mentary volume to the Nyingma Edition of the bKa-gyur and
bsTan-gyur, published in 1981.
In light of the special place occupied by the Bhadrakalpika
Sutra in the Tibetan Buddhist Canon and the power and
blessings of its teachings, we felt it would be auspicious to offer
a translation of this work for Western readers. We chose the
gSer-ljong edition as the basis for this translation, and have
placed the Tibetan text opposite the English. The gSer-ljong
editions 1175 depictions of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas have
been inserted into new frames to illustrate this combined text
and translation.
The Fortunate Aeon is one of the first publications to come
forth from the Yeshe De Buddhist Research and Translation
Project, established in 1983. For the immediate future, the
Yeshe De Project is focusing on developing basic reference
works and encouraging translation of the Sutras and sastras,
the foundation texts of Buddhist scholarship and practice. The
program has already attracted a number of Buddhist scholars,
whose translations will appear in future volumes of this series.
We have worked on this translation for four years. First, a
group of my students, as part of their study of the Tibetan
language, began to read the Bhadrakalpika while I was visiting
Tibet. Since translation was already underway, I felt it would be
auspicious for it to continue, and I worked with Deborah Black
to complete the initial manuscript. Samuel Price then helped to
produce this final draft.
Translation of the Bhadrakalpika Sutra presented certain
major challenges. The text itself presupposes a comprehensive
knowledge of many aspects of the Buddhas teachings:
familiarity with the Buddhas life and previous existences as set
forth in the Vinaya and Jataka; a knowledge of a wide range of
technical terms and the systematic teachings presented in the
Abhidharma, an understanding of the customs and institutions
of the Buddhas time, and much more.
Few additional resources were available to us: The Sanskrit
text is lost, and we do not have the expertise to make use of the
Chinese translation by Dharmaraksa. The Tibetan text is itself
difficult to read. Translated originally from the Sanskrit by
Vidyakarasimha and Bande dPal-dbyangs, it was revised in the
ninth century by sKa-ba dPal-brtsegs from earlier translations.
Even so, it has some usages in the old style that are not easily
understood today. Certain formulae representing specific San
skrit terms which are not found in modern Tibetan add to the
problems of translation.
Each time we go through the text we find better ways to
express terms for which there is no exact English equivalent,
and better phrasing to convey the meaning of the Tibetan. The
process of refining the translation could continue for many
years; the text is very long, and there are many areas in the
translation where the results are still not what we would wish.
Yet, with many other projects calling out to be completed, we
have decided to offer this work in its present form. We trust that
readers will appreciate the difficulties of preparing a first
translation of this valuable text, and look beneath the surface for
the inner meaning of the teachings presented.
To facilitate a meditative approach to the text, we have
presented this translation as it is, without footnotes, references,
or interpretations. However, we did compare the gSer-ljong
edition to the text in the sDe-dge edition of the bKa-gyur, and
inserted alternate words and phrases from the sDe-dge edition.
These appear in brackets in the Tibetan text. Words not found
in the sDe-dge appear in parentheses. The Sanskrit names of
the one thousand Buddhas are based upon the polyglot list of
the Buddhas names published in 1923 by Friedrich Weller. A
partial bibliography of useful resources is appended to the
glossary in volume IV.
We encourage students of the Dharma to regard this work
as a foundation for more precise efforts that will be possible
when the Dharma is better understood in the West, and when
Western languages have developed terms that express Buddh
ist views and meanings more clearly. Although our translation
is far from perfect, we trust that the power of the Stra will
transcend our shortcomings. If this translation inspires others
to investigate this teaching, or to further clarify its meaning, our
efforts will be well rewarded.
We offer this work as a gesture of blessing for those who
wish to read the sacred texts, and as a prayer for the Dharma to
sustain all humanity until the appearance of Maitreya, the next
Buddha of the Fortunate Aeon.

THE FORTUNATE AEON
/7 l ^ i t h i n the interplay of space and time, worlds are
WL/born, come to maturity, and end, governed by great
pulses in time that define the beginning and end of kalpas
aeons of so great an extent that they embrace the life cycles of
countless world-systems and innumerable millions of beings.
Wherever beings can look beyond survival and self to seek
a higher purpose and meaning in existence, Buddhas appear to
demonstrate the path to enlightenment. Through example and
through analysis of the nature of existence, the supremely
accomplished ones show how to break the cycle of suffering
and light the way to liberation for others. But many aeons are
dark: Possibilities are limited, and there are few opportunities
to develop the unbounded potential of human consciousness.
Ignorant of the implications of their existence and vulnerable to
all kinds of suffering, sentient beings can only repeat an endless
cycle of birth and death. Thus the appearance of even one
Buddha is an occasion for great rejoicing.
At the end of the previous kalpa, when the world was
engulfed by flood, one thousand golden lotuses arose from the
great ocean. Beings residing in the heavens understood that
this auspicious sign was a harbinger of the one thousand
Buddhas who would brighten the coming aeon. This kalpa
would be known as the Bhadrakalpa, the Fortunate Aeon, a time
when thousands of generations would hear the Dharma and
have the opportunity to become enlightened.
The Bhadrakalpa is our present aeon, and Sakyamuni, the
Buddha of our present age, is the fourth of the one thousand
Buddhas. Appearing in India twenty-five centuries ago, the
Buddha taught the Dharma for nearly five decades. On many
different levels he demonstrated the joys of enlightenment and
the dissatisfaction and suffering inherent in worldly pleasures.
Through his teachings on stupas and images he presented the
body of the Buddha; through the Sutras he communicated the
sound of enlightened knowledge, the speech of the Buddhas;
through his awakened awareness he established the minds of
others in the enlightened view, enabling them to develop the
inner light of Bodhicitta. Thus he revealed the path that purifies
and transforms body, speech, and mind.
Although many centuries have passed since the Buddhas
Parinirvana, it is still possible to study and practice the teach
ings he imparted, and to attain enlightenment by following the
path he set forth. The path of the Dharma is both clear and
systematic: If one follows it in the way the Buddha demon
strated, one will certainly reach the goal.
Among the many teachings offered by Sakyamuni was the
Bhadrakalpika Sutra, a celebration of the great procession of
Buddhas who bring such joy into the world. In its teaching it
reveals the inner heart of liberation and the path followed
by all who aspire to become Buddhas. Focusing on the fully
enlightened Buddha, the Bhadrakalpika Sutra clarifies the ten
strengths that distinguish a Buddha from all other beings. It
describes the samadhi that develops these strengths, and the
8,400 perfections that form the gateway to this samadhi.
The ten strengths of the Buddha are based on knowledge
knowledge of what is possible and impossible, knowledge of the
different propensities of beings, and knowledge of the intercon
nection of cause and effect, the karmic momentum that persists
over many lifetimes. This knowledge includes full understand
ing of previous lifetimes, as well as the causes and conditions
of all forms of existence.
Such knowledge is gained through samadhi, a transforma
tion of awareness in which understanding is internalized and
integrated. Arising from enlightened awareness, samadhi is the
culmination of the perfections of body, speech and mind an
open channel to full comprehension of all that is. Through this
channel flow the dharanls, the mental imprints of knowledge.
The realizations that culminate in samadhi are based on
practice of the six paramitas: giving, morality, patience, effort,
meditation, and wisdom. Through practicing the perfections,
Bodhisattvas (those in training to become Buddhas) develop
the qualities of enlightenment, while also benefiting living
beings two aspects of one integrated activity. Those who fol
low the teachings to gain enlightenment for others, not for
themselves, are those on the Bodhisattva path of the paramitas,
on the way to becoming fully enlightened Buddhas. Through
their practice, they mature in understanding, while exempli
fying to others the great value of the perfections and demon
strating how these perfections are developed.
The Bhadrakalpika Sutra contains extensive teachings on
the paramitas, setting forth their attributes and qualities.
Within these teachings are presented the essentials of the
systematic path to realization, often described as the Thirty-
Seven Wings of Enlightenment: the Four Applications of
Mindfulness, the Four Restraints, the Four Bases of Miraculous
Power, the Five Strengths, the Five Powers, the Seven Branches
of Enlightenment, and the Eightfold Path. Practicing this path
removes all impediments and allows the teachings to manifest
clearly in ones thoughts, words, and deeds.
The Sutra often illustrates the virtues of the paramitas by
referring to the Jataka, tales of the Buddha Sakyamuni in his
past lives as a Bodhisattva. Through these illustrations, the
focus returns to the Buddha, who embodies the culmination of
the practice that leads to liberation. These passages clarify that
the paramitas are not simply a conceptual system of knowl
edge, but a way of understanding to be internalized and then
practiced in life after life.
The Bhadrakalpika Sutra affirms this teaching by describ
ing the Buddhas who have already appeared during this aeon:
Krakucchanda, Kanakamuni, Kasyapa, and Sakyamuni. It is
Sakyamuni who discloses here the attributes of the thousand
Buddhas yet to come: the circumstances of their birth, their
special qualities, their disciples, their span of life and the
duration of their teachings, and the relics they will leave.
Since the activities of a Buddha are the basis for the
liberation of all beings, the Bhadrakalpika Sutra, which relates
the names and attributes of this great procession of Buddhas, is
revered as a highly auspicious teaching. The devotion ac
corded to the Bhadrakalpika Sutra arises from knowledge that
human awareness has the potential to become enlightened.
The presence of Buddhas in the world clearly demonstrates
this potential and the value of developing it to the fullest. When
we have understood what a Buddha is, and how one becomes
a Buddha, we recognize what is possible for us as well.
Honoring the Buddhas, and all that supports realization,
we expand our capacity for love and compassion. From this
ground can arise the aspiration to attain the Buddhas perfect
enlightenment. Although this aspiration might take lifetimes to
mature, practicing the perfections is inherently joyful and
satisfying, always beneficial to ourselves and to others. Appeal
ing equally to the heart and the mind, the Bhadrakalpika Sutra
heightens appreciation for the great value of a human exis
tence, and invites us to experience the full measure of our good
fortune by studying and practicing the way of the Buddhas.

hus I have heard: At one time the Lord Buddha was
dwelling in Srvast, in retreat for the duration of the
summer rains. The three summer months having passed, the
Buddha prepared his Dharma robes. Having done so, he then
donned his Dharma robes, took up his begging bowl, and set
out for the city of Vaisl accompanied by one hundred thou
sand monks and by some eight hundred million Bodhisattvas.
When they arrived at that city, they went to the great garden,
whereupon the Lord arose from his absorption. The Bodhisattva
Pramuditaraja, who had also been in deep contemplation,
likewise arose from his absorption. The circle of monks, the
circle of nuns, the circle of laymen, and the circle of laywomen,
together with great followings of gods, ngas, yaksas,
gandharvas, asuras, garudas, kinnaras, and mahoragas, all
gathered around and seated themselves upon mats spread out
upon the ground.
Now, the Bodhisattvas in the assembly were only such as
had obtained illumination. They had obtained the imprint of
the mental patterning of dharanl; they had obtained samdhi,
and were endowed with the five super-knowledges. They had

gained the ability of clear retention; they were free from artifice,
free from the thought to gain profit from knowledge, and free
from attachment. They taught the Dharma without being
distracted by worldly things. They had reached the perfection
of patient conviction with respect to the profound Dharma, and
obtained fearlessness. They had completely passed beyond the
reach of Maras actions, had cast off the defilement of karma,
and had obtained freedom from doubt concerning the nature of
all dharmas.
For innumerable kalpas they had amassed powerful aspira
tions for enlightenment. Their faces were smiling, their words
straightforward; they were never irritated, and they spoke in
musical cadences. Their minds were overwhelmingly brilliant,
and they had ceaseless inner confidence in their knowledge.
They had obtained patient conviction concerning the integral
sameness of all constituents of reality and with their fear
lessness overawed boundless assemblies. They had ways of
teaching across the furthest reaches of ten million kalpas with
a single word. They delighted in seeing how all dharmas are like
illusions, mirages, the moon in water, dreams, and echoes.
Immeasurably fearless was their knowledge, and they fully
understood all the intricacies of behavior and subtle moods of
living beings.
Vast was their virtue, their minds unhindered; they were
without egocentric pride, and were endowed with patience.
Their virtue was like a great wave billowing, and they embraced
all the holy aspirations existing within the limitless array of the
Buddha-fields. They were continuously present in the samadhi
that recollects the Buddhas of the innumerable world systems,
and they were wise in the ways of communicating with the
countless Buddhas. They were skilled in quieting all forms of
emotional turmoil, karmic propensities, and destructive belief-
systems. They were skilled in displaying by their samadhi
hundreds of thousands of playful actions.

Such were these Bodhisattvas, among whom were the
Bodhisattvas Maitreya; Manjusri the Youthful; Avalokitesvara;
Meghasvara; Kusumitobuddhi of the one hundred thousand
virtues; Nirghosa, of boundless achievement and intelligence,
whose voice was ornamented by lightning; Matimant with the
fine intelligence of the limitless far-reaches; Vighustaraja; the
one who has insight into what is in accord and what is not;
Rasmitejoraja of the light condensed into pure gold; the one
who could travel and see through hundreds of yojanas; the
Bodhisattvas Pratibhanakuta; Jnanaskandha; Amoghadarsin;
and Bhadrapala; as well as the eight holy ones: Gandhahasti;
Ratnakotigaftja; Prajnakuta; Mahitavyuha; Simhavighustaraja;
Mativyuha, dwelling in elegant array; Simhavikramin; and
Anantapratibhana, fearless in attainment. Also among them
was the Bodhisattva Pramuditaraja.
Also assembled were the Four Great Kings of the world
system of the three thousand great thousands of worlds, as well
as Sakra, Brahma, Adhipateya, Mahabrahma, the Lord of the
Nagas, the Lord of the Yaksas, the Lord of the Asuras, the Lord
of the Garudas, the Lord of the Kinnaras, the Lord of the
Mahoragas, and the Lord of the Gandharvas. All went before the
Lord, and, after tossing flower petals about the Bhagavat, seated
themselves near him.
The Bodhisattva Pramuditaraja then fasted for seven days.
Striving to throw off mental lassitude and the need for sleep, he
did not recline during this time, but remained alert and active.
It was on this occasion that the Bodhisattva Pramuditaraja
addressed the Buddha, asking:
Lord, what teaching is fully realized by Bodhisattvas in
that they arrive at the following: They come to know the wishes

Buddhas; they do not teach wrong doctrines; they know the 9

have no defects in their relationship with the Buddha of the
present, and are thus able to see and associate with all the
Buddhas; they gain true attainment through the Dharma; even
though they are involved in worldly activity, they are unsoiled
by worldliness.
Even though they dwell in the absorptions they do not
take birth accordingly; even though they practice the Dharma of
passing from sorrow they do not pass into Parinirvna; they do
not disparage the vehicles of the Srvakas and Pratyekabuddhas
even though the practice of these vehicles does not fulfill the
aspiration of perfect enlightenment; through recollecting the
Buddha their minds are pure; they are conversant with all sorts
of temperaments and are able to deal with everything; they are
invincible in their confident intentions and undeniable in their
requests; they embrace the boundless presentation of the
Buddha-fields and obtain all wisdom; they transform sentient

beings without dwelling in the concept of sentient being; they
teach the Dharma, yet never abide in object-oriented interplay;
they speak of nirvana but they never even focus on tranquility;
they do not become fixed in action even for the purpose of
enlightenment; they abandon being and not-being, yet remain
completely magnanimous. Lord, I do not ask this Teaching for
myself but so that the Lord may bestow this Doctrine.
The Bodhisattva Pramuditaraja then offered this request in
verse: Many are gathered here of gods, men, yaksas, and
gandharvas, and others whose merit and wisdom are as limit
less as their devotion. We ask that the Moon of Teachers, the
Lightmaker, the Protector of the Worlds, give to us an ordered
exposition of the Bodhisattvas activities, so that when they
have heard the qualities of the Bodhisattvas wondrous path of
action, these hosts of earnestly aspiring living beings will strive
for enlightenment.
Once faith has been generated in the great qualities of
enlightenment, we ask that you relate the full scope of these
qualities. You, of boundless renown, know our hearts who
other than the Conqueror could be our witness? Both gods and
men are thirsty for these qualities of the Jina. Please tell us the
ways you wield the ten strengths. Tell us of your knowledge and
deeds, and the way of your beauty and renown. Tell us of the
arising of the qualities of enlightenment; tell us of the arising of
your wonderfully virtuous actions.

finest of beings, leaders of beings, those who give aid how do
they become Jinas? Please speak to us of these things. And then
may those who have listened to you day and night, whose only

awareness, achieve the hundreds of gateways of virtue, and
become error-free in explaining the teachings? We request that
you explain all this, you who enact the Ten Strengths. We do not
ask in attachment to the joys of existence, nor do we ask for the
sake of changing realms. We yearn for the nectar of the

Homage to Tathagata Sunetra and Homage to Tathagata Uttaraprathamakarin
This samadhi is shade for the weary; deliverance from the
river; constancy in the face of opposition; the staff of the gentle
ones; the honor paid to the spiritual friends of virtue; giving up
both sleep and mental dullness; passing beyond restlessness;
throwing off doubt; clearing away the longing to experience
desire. It is completely throwing off laziness; not focusing on
the self; never disavowing sentient beings; never dwelling on
ones own life; never forgetting the Dharma. This samadhi is
expressing matters correctly; speaking appropriately; and con
sidering well the motivational forces.
This samadhi is the very essence of expertise; the essence
of dauntlessness. It is zealous attention to pristine awareness
and giving. It is valiantly advancing into samsara. It is never
disparaging others; never extolling ones own virtues; living
always for the sake of enlightenment; commencing rigorous
application. It is acting in unlimited space and time.
This samadhi is completely giving up grasping. It is
genuinely acting in good fortune; the insubstantiality of the

body; the undaunted mind. It is skill in living; cultivating
mindfulness; being steadfast and without pride; seeking libera
tion; settling all doubts.
This samadhi is the generation of the state of purity
through the brahmaviharas. It is the ever-serene mind of love;
adhering to the course of compassion; experiencing inner joy
through joyfulness. It is anger and attachment being cleared
away through impartiality.
This samadhi is being accepted by others due to ones
moral conduct; coming into the attainment of samadhi; enter
ing complete liberation through wisdom in all dharmas; under
standing the mastery of words. It is skill in languages. It is truly
understanding what is expressed; comprehending sounds;
being intent upon the nature of wisdom. It is proclaiming the
giving of everything without attachment. It is taking no delight
in single-minded certainty; being totally without distress in the
solitary way; being without acceptance or rejection with regard
to enlightenment.
This samadhi is the inexhaustibility of all dharmas. It is
the complete teaching according to the way things are; it is
guilelessness toward any sentient being. It is what leads one to
fully accomplish the highest aspiration; it is ceaseless applica
tion both day and night. It is the activity of the Bodhisattva. It is
involvement in the realm of sentient beings. It is attaining
omniscience. Pramuditaraja, this is the samadhi known as
Showing the Way of All Dharmas.
Then the Lord Buddha presented the following teaching in
verse: This samadhi is the treasure of the Sugatas: It is the
system of the branches of enlightenment, the valiant heart of
self-assurance. This purifying practice is the path of the Saints,
the way of harmony, the purification of the mind.
This samadhi is the subjugation of Mara: As it is free of
defilement, it releases one from anger. It is the wisdom that cuts

through desire for existence; it is applying well the virtues of
fame and reputation. It is deliverance from the three realms,
reaching at last beyond all limits.
This samadhi is the treasure of the Sugatas. It is praised
by the Sugatas, for it frees one from samsara. It is the path of
virtue and the stage of pristine awareness; it is the lineage of the
Saints and the undoing of demons.
This samadhi is the action of the Sugatas which follows
the happiness of conquering sorrow: It is cutting through
obstacles, evoking contentment, and inferential understanding;
it is the ten million doors for entering great equanimity.
This wondrous samadhi, this teaching of the Buddhas so
pleasing to the Sugatas, produces realization and mindfulness,
the flowers of the branches of enlightenment. It gathers the
virtues residing in self-respect into the garland of the branches
of enlightenment.
This samadhi is the garland of the branches of enlighten
ment: It is liberation, crossing clear over the field where births
are generated. This wondrous Dharma is praised by the Moon
of All: the one who shines like the moon, radiating light as he
passes above the three realms.
Should you wish to truly attain this samadhi, apply the
three forms of application. After casting off all thought of gain
from knowledge, after throwing off every hypocrisy and
unsteadiness of mind, develop confidence in a place of retreat.
When you have bound the enemy and abandoned deceit, when
you have cast off all inclination to profit from knowledge,
without extolling your personal virtue, don the three Dharma
robes and apply yourself to the way of the almsman, never
accumulating possessions as you practice this way.
Take up the generous disposition of the Saints. If you
wish to obtain samadhi swiftly, know that the wise proceed to
ask about the teachings constantly. Having done so, they rest in
real accomplishment.

Homage to the Tathgata Mahbala and Homage to the Tathgata Naksatrarja
In coming to rejoice in the tranquility that comes from
amassing both merit and wisdom, you will find yourself being 45
friendly to all beings and treating them tenderly. So if you would
give up all that is known to be the basis of hypocrisy, seek out
this peaceful samdhi! Make modesty your clothing, the flavor
of solitude your food. Make meditation your seat and couch
and solitude your home. The wise do not desire those things
that others take delight in, for they have ceaseless happiness in
realizing self-lessness.
Should you wish to quickly obtain this samdhi, be
patient with others when they speak to you with anger; free
yourself from egoism, and never let your pride increase. Fully
transform your karma, and manifest true faith. Whenyou do not
rely on ordinary perception or the paths to lower states of
existence, when you commence strong effort both day and
night in this way not even taught to the thousands of Saints, you
will obtain this incomparable samdhi. Abandoning the two
extremes, the paths that are truly ill-favored, is the same as this
path, the noble way. Whoever sees that dharmas are unpro
duced and uncreated pleases the Buddhas by this attainment.

The Lord Buddha continued: Pramuditaraja, this is the
samadhi called Showing the Way of All Dharmas. Bodhisattvas
who obtain this samadhi correctly understand all dharmas.
They realize that all dharmas are non-abiding. They realize that
all dharmas are non-arising; they realize that the Buddha-
dharma is uncreated. They realize that all dharmas are ficti
tious; they realize that all dharmas are without substance; they
realize that all dharmas are without essence.
They are never overawed by others; they surpass the five
types of beings; they destroy Mara; they bring joy to all beings;
they are worshiped by the wise; they see the essence of
existence; they appear with moonlike splendor; they fully know
the course of the thoughts of all sentient beings; they exhort
those with pure thoughts.
They know all the world realms of the great trichiliocosm;
they obtain the stage of action; they enter into self-lessness;
they fully know the elements of transitory existence; they reach
the stage that is free of the arrogance of ordinary beings; they
pass beyond defilement.
They know the nature of name and form; they realize all
the teachings of the Buddhas presented through the gates of
language; they obtain the thirty-two marks; they are beyond
being touched by obtaining or not-obtaining; though in the
world, they are truly unsoiled.
They are the mainstay of sentient beings; they open the
door of nirvana; they are givers; they are the teachers of
immortality; they understand nirvana; they clear away the
torment of sentient beings; they cut through the doubts of all
beings; they are not soiled by the six senses; they obtain the
dharanls that apply the sixteen gate letters.

You may ask, what are the sixteen gate letters obtained by
Bodhisattvas? The sixteen are:
A, RA, PA, TSA, NA, DA, SA, KA,
THA, PA, BA, KSA, TSHA, PA, THA, DHA:
These are the sixteen. From the dharanls that apply these
sixteen forms, as they are boundless, Bodhisattvas gain even the
stage of Attainment; they know fully all of the minutest aspects
of the dharmas; they attain certainty; they produce full knowl
edge of the thoughts of all sentient beings.
The fettering passions do not exist for them. They under
stand fully the dharmas that foolish people accept as real; they
set things in motion; they satisfy sentient beings; they worship
by means of their fine speech; they establish eternal offerings;
acting in this omniscience, they perform the activities of the
Buddhas; they obtain full understanding; they cut through
their own and othershesitations; they take up the commitment
to clear away the griefs of sentient beings; they obtain a voice as
lovely as that of the kalabinka.
Through equanimity, they have great attainment. Theirs
is the roar of the lion. They are gentle. Having entered the
paramita of patience, they fully accomplish great compassion.
They pass from the land of Mara; they perfect the very essence
of melodic sound. Because they abandon pride, they obtain
patience. They are practitioners of profound meditations; they
teach the Dharma that conquers the karma of beings. They
attain deepness; they gain great strength and power with
respect to all dharmas.
Because their understanding is based on the viewpoint of
all dharmas, they are true sages. They are mindful of the actions
of all sentient beings; after innumerable kalpas, they have the
realization of the Dharma nature of all dharmas. They under
stand all controversies; they come to abandon all thought of
weariness. They quickly realize enlightenment, and they are

praised by the gods. They apply all dharmas with wisdom; they
are skilled in attaining their purposes. All dharmas appear
clearly to them, and their food is ambrosia.
They cut through all doubt; they throw off the chains of
the karmic propensities; they are wrapped in great compassion;
they are always mindful of the Buddhas intentions; they
cultivate the memory of their previous lives. They quickly
realize the virtuous actions that lead to passing from sorrow.
Through the accumulation of merit and wisdom they become
masters of worship. They break through all arrogance; they
definitively obtain the stage of strength; they are able to deal
with all situations; they understand what is to be accom
plished; they know all fruition; they extend the Buddha-fields;
they conquer the demon ofithe aggregates; they quickly realize
the teachings that are relevant; they quickly destroy Mara; they
quickly subdue all opponents.
They see the Buddhas of the immeasurable world realms,
and listen, likewise, to their teachings. They never forget the
holy Dharma; they easily attain the joyous play of samdhi
which accords with whatever is desired. Bodhisattvas who
obtain this samdhi are referred to, by those who are aware, as
being omniscient. Why is this so? Because if they so wish it, in
only one birth, or two births, or three or four, or up until a kalpa,
they will become Buddhas with fully perfected and complete
enlightenment.
If you ask, How can this be?it is because this samdhi is
itself omniscience.

hen the Lord Buddha expressed this in verse: None exist
who are as error free and unconfused as those who em- 53
brace this way, the practice of the ten strengths. Obtaining the
ambrosia of immortality, they commence matchless actions
that bring glory to the realm of the gods and the realm of men.
Those who possess the ten strengths and embrace this praise
worthy way conquer the fettering passions, both coarse and
subtle. Their clear words evoke joy in gods and men. In clearing
away the darkness of existence, they are worthy of the Jinas
qualities; and in practicing this samadhi to obtain the ten
strengths, they destroy all possibility of lower birth. With their
understanding of the lower realms, they clear away the harmful
sentiments of other gods and men, and make them joyful. They
distinguish the path of wisdom and the deeds of the wise.
Practicing this way, they abandon all samsaric ways and
subtly influence those who live harmful lives. Their eyes are
like the moon, pure, and powerful as they act in accord with
the desires of men and gods. Their peerless practice brings
continual delight to gods and men, for they can clearly dis
tinguish hundreds of ways of proclaiming to their followers

the error-free way for the wise, those who are unhappy with
the ways of samsara.
This way of immortality encompasses the qualities of the
Jinas, so that those who take up this way obtain the Benefactors
thirty-two most beautiful marks, and bring joy to men and gods.
The practice of this samadhi clears away all barbaric ways. It
also presents the myriad qualities needed for subduing many
beings, so that the dwellers in demon-lands as well as the wise
quickly become great sramanas whose qualities are praised by
gods and men. So if you desire to obtain the pure jewel of
immortality, do this practice, quickly becoming a Jina. You will
give off sweet fragrance and obtain wondrous virtues. Endowed
with gloiy, you will be delivered into the peaceful city of fearless
gods and men.
Those who practice this way abide joyfully in immortal
ity, and the Sugatas of the ten directions sing their praise
expressing to joyous gods and men the glories of this practice
of equanimity, its benefits and training. Those who practice this
way destroy Maras army and pass from the misery of the gods
and asuras who abide above the earth. Grown wise from
approaching the Jinas, from worshiping and associating with
them, they abandon samsaric activities and take up the virtues
of mindfulness, realization, and wisdom. Those who embrace
this most peaceful samadhi pacify the senses and develop great
awareness. Making their way alone like the rhinoceros, they
never hold onto an I. They shine brightly like shooting stars of
the Dharma. Demonstrating the ocean of awareness, they
instantly realize the way of all things the way that is like a
great parasol over the three realms, the way that is praised by
the many kings of the gods.
Those who make effort to attain this difficult vision of
tranquility clear away the exhausting fettering passions; they
express the cessation of going of those gone beyond. They
subdue the three realms, and cease the stream of emotionality.
Obtaining these excellent samadhis and mindful of the actions
of others, they begin to rely upon themselves. Coming to know

the vastness of the Sugatas wisdom, they abide in all its
manifestations. Those who achieve this samadhi are in the
Buddhas lineage and will perfect many ten millions of attain
ments. Such are the teachers of immortality: always clearing
away the pain of those in misery. These truly noble beings are
distinguished by the joy one feels in seeing them, by their
glorious qualities, by their sweet voices. When they enter the
assembly, they are like the August moon, shining full in the sky.
Those who rely upon these samadhis are known by the
Sugatas for their glorious descent, their wealth of enjoyments
and their following, even in the world. Wise, their self-assurance
is like an ocean. Those who practice this marvelous Sutra
quickly realize and demonstrate these ways of self-lessness, the
essence of the Dharma, and become the physicians of the three
thousand worlds. When they apply themselves to attaining
immortality, whatever beings there are in the three thousand
worlds even in realms of sentient beings numbering as many
as sands of the Ganges these beings will cross over and reach
the door of awareness.
Those who practice this way with the highest intentions
will never be harmed by fire, weapons, or poison; having no
reason to fear even the cannibal demon king, they will be
unafraid even if that king selects them. In apprehending the
four words [the Four Noble Truths] and in leaving the house
holders life, they will never exhaust the gem of immortality;
they will never be struck by fire, drought, or evil spirits; they
will never become blind, one-eyed, or mentally confused.
Those who apply themselves to this peaceful samadhi are
given the treasure of the dharanl. At the time they apply
themselves to this samadhi, sixty-two times ten million Sugatas
hold them in mind. If those who desire to gain enlightenment
quickly, if those who desire greatness and virtue, apply them
selves to the way of this most excellent Sutra, they will take
omniscience into their hands. Those beings listening now are
sure to find pleasure in the virtues leading to enlightenment;

Homage to Arya Tathagata Candra and Homage to Arya Tathagata Arcismant
and, as they have made good effort for four days, they are sure
to obtain the wealth of the ten strengths. As they enter this 59
wondrous samadhi, sixty times one hundred billion Jinas, as
well as eight hundred million great beings will always keep
them in mind. Those who have heard this teaching and
admired it, those who have listened to this teaching and truly
acquired it, will throw off all hesitation. Enlightened, they will
never look back to the world of doubts. Therefore, those who
hear this teaching and actually practice it will surely find
enjoyment in effort and virtue. Even from just transcribing this
Sutra, they will retain it, and they will certainly take all-
knowingness into their hands.
I have clear knowledge that one hundred kalpas past,
there came forth the Jina Pratibhanakuta, Summit of Self-
Assurance. He taught this great samadhi, and, hearing this
teaching, Prince Candrasrl, Glory of the Moon, left his kingdom
and quickly became a monk. After listening to this teaching for
only one day and one night, the prince passed from time in the
last watch of the night, producing emanations in other Buddha-

fields as many as the sands of the Ganges. With these emana
tions he made matchless offerings for many days and nights,
and, for the sake of realizing enlightenment, for a kalpa he
listened to this samadhi everywhere. The Jina Dipamkara
predicted that he would become the Jina known as Ratnasikhi,
Crest of Jewels, and that the fruit of his listening to this teaching
would be very great. Therefore, when you have heard this
teaching, do not procrastinate! Bring forth its realization
without delay! Worship with songs that are sweet to the hearing
of gods and men! I have opened this precious treasure now
memorize it! Take hold of this jewel of the ten strengths!
The Lord Buddha continued: Pramuditaraja, long ago,
even countless kalpas past, these extensive teachings appeared
in the world. At one time long ago there appeared the Tathagata
Arhat, the fully accomplished and perfect Buddha known as
Sound of Melodious Roaring Thunder Setting Forth the Orna
ment of Self-Assurance. Teaching his doctrine was a preacher
named Manifestation of the Victory Ensign of the Highest
Qualities of Boundless Self-Assurance.
At the time this Tathagata taught this samadhi, a prince
called Proclamation of the Maturation of Merit for Many Beings
offered a garment worth hundreds of thousands. Concentrat
ing on his gift, the prince thought: May all sentient beings
obtain this samadhi! From this root of virtue, from pleasing
Buddhas equal in number to the sands of eighty Ganges rivers,
he was able to listen to this samadhi from them all; and all
dharmas that had not been taught before were made manifest.
This prince, Proclamation of the Maturation of Merit for Many
Beings, remembered all of his previous incarnations in the
various realms. He became the completely and perfectly
enlightened Buddha known as Amityus, and established a
Buddha-field of boundless qualities.

The monk, the preacher known as Roar of the Manifesta
tion of the Victory Ensign of the Highest Qualities of Boundless
Self-Assurance, became the Tathagata known as Mahanetra,
Great-Eyed. The prince, through having heard this samadhi,
threw off the defilement of karma he had been compounding
for over seven million kalpas. Throughout all of his following
births, he never became separated from the dharanls he had
attained through the limitless doors such as have been laid
forth here not separated even for the duration of a finger-
snap, not even in any trifling way.
Subsequently, the Tathagata called Brilliant Heart of
Glory with the Pure Clear Face of the Moon appeared. He
demonstrated and explained this profound samadhi to others,
and a merchants son called Fine Mind Arrayed with Expansive
Beauty heard his teaching. Giving up the householders life to
become a homeless renunciate, this merchants son gave up his
seventy wives, as well as the four treasures of his domain that
extended for one yojana all around. He also gave away his
eighteen hundred pleasure gardens, and never again placed his
feet on cloth-covered ground. Having become a renunciate, for
ten thousand years he did not experience the comfort of
wearing clothes or shoes or of staying in a place that was not
covered with filth. Having freed himself from drowsiness and
need for sleep, he strove always to remain active.
After the passage of ten thousand years, he obtained the
samadhi called Understanding the Application of All Sounds
and obtained the dharanl called the Gathered Melodic Lan
guages and Precepts of All the Noble Buddhas. With these
accomplishments he strove to honor some six hundred thou
sand gods, and he then achieved the highest virtue of mind and
body. At the present time, he is a completely and perfectly
enlightened Buddha, the Tathagata known as Manonukula,
Pleasing to the Mind, who ornaments the world realms of the
South with all his virtues.

Then the Lord Buddha spoke this, in verse: Remembering
countless kalpas past, as many as there are sands in the Ganges, 65
this illustration presents itself: At one time, Pratibhanasvara,
Melody of Self-Assurance, came forth as protector of the world.
And a monk appeared who was skilled in upholding the
Dharma as set forth in the Protectors pure teachings.
A prince heard his exposition of this samadhi, and after
listening to this teaching, had a robe made. Having made a
dedication of this work, he saw the Buddha, the Protector, and
obtained enlightenment as Amitayus. And so it is that through
hearing this teaching that amasses awareness, the results of
actions previously performed are totally extinguished.
Then the Buddha called Vimalacandra, Stainless Moon,
taught this samadhi. A merchants son, hearing this teaching,
renounced the householders life to become a renunciate. He
was free from desire and need for sleep; he had no care for
clothes or footwear while for ten thousand years he practiced
this samadhi. Moreover, he never again took delight in worldly

amusements or desired the wealth of a householders life,
for indeed, just by hearing this samadhi, one will obtain the
highest enlightenment. Having seen the limitless Buddhas, he
requested teachings of them all, and, in completely penetrat
ing the way of this teaching, he quickly attained realization.
Through the practice of this samadhi he became the one
called Manonukula, Pleasing to the Mind. And so it is that
those who bring their thoughts to perfection quickly attain
enlightenment.
In the future, it will come to pass that although no
spiritual enjoyment or joy, or even the desire for renunciation
exists, those who defame one another, the scolds and trouble
makers, the debased, the vilifiers, will listen to this wisdom
mudra and will say, I will become a Buddha!Those who live as
householders experience thousands of miseries; when they see
the actions that cause desire, patience will emerge. So even
those who are slaves to emotionality will say: I will become a
Buddha!In their dreams they will see the Buddhas and will be
comforted. But growing proud, they will say, with no good
reason, There is no doubt I am enlightened!Yet once again, they
will listen to the words of this Sutra, which will give them joy
and comfort, and they will attain enlightenment before too
long. Having listened to and truly heard this way of truth, they
will be without grasping and without attachment like the wind
of the reaches of space. There are many such beings.
Others, although they have become monks for the
purpose of enlightenment, also do so to profit from knowledge,
and so produce many transgressions. Though they are worth
less and have little wisdom, they grow very proud just from
hearing this teaching; they treat others with great arrogance,
thinking they have reached enlightenment. They obtain relics
and see great light; when they worship the Jina, their hair
stands on end. Because of their knowledge about enlighten
ment, they make a great wonder out of these trifling things. For
such as these, enlightenment is very distant. Due to their

self-deception, their decline is steady, and it is long before they
will truly conquer.
Such as these, knowing that they will gain enlightenment
from listening to these Sutras, start to think, It should be clear
that I have become Amitayus! And they think, It will be seen
how quickly I become a Buddha !They rest on such conceptions,
and so enlightenment is long to come, for they do not strive for
the highest ends. For such as these there is no prediction. But
as for this merchants son, he saw to give whatever wealth he
had; and renouncing everything, he humbly went to a house
hold that gave him alms.
Long ago, I heard the teachings of just such a samadhi
from DIpamkara. But for those who do not understand it
genuinely, nothing will come forth. It is like officials who
become monks expecting to gain great profit from knowledge
or like those who cariy a load of hemp over the ocean to
exchange for a priceless gem.
It is not just from hearing this teaching, not just from
following the rules or from ordination that one grows pure. For
to attain the path of enlightenment, one must abide in vigilance.
In the future, there will be those who, having gained some sort
of attainment from listening to these teachings explained, will
feel free to find fault with these teachings. Although they will
bow in their teachers presence and give praise such as: Well
done! and offer their teacher Dharma robes, they will also be
critical of the teachings.
Although they shed tears of joy upon hearing the teach
ings and even make an offering of themselves by living within
the Sangha, by finding fault, I say again that they act wrongly.
There will even be those who do not honor the Masters, who do
not venerate the Lamas, who let trifles enrage them, who
disrupt the household, who do not have faith in the future
results of merit, who are not conscious of their own faults, who

are impatient and jealous from knowing that others are re
ceiving honors. Yet when they worship stupas with offerings
of parasols and victory banners, flowers, and Dharma robes,
they will say, By this I will obtain enlightenment!
But the ones who have true reverence for me are those
who, after having listened to these Sutras, give up all pleasures
and abide in the pure attainments. For example, the way
Subhuti worshiped me: rejecting the need for my physical
presence, he worshiped the Dharma itselffor why should
there be veneration of my material body? So if you truly
contemplate this Sutra, you will throw off the pleasures of life;
finished with worldly living and worldly things, you will abide
always in the wilderness.
Pramuditaraja, having listened to these attainments from
me, I say that when you go among men you must never again
put your trust in them. They will declare, This is true; this is not
true,and with delight they will criticize what I say. At that time,
what I am teaching will be corrupted, and even those with great

respect for enlightenment and who have no inclination to profit
from the knowledge of great enlightenment will be far from
complete liberation.
Through great commitment I obtained Attainment; I am
the One of Mastery of all forms of manifestation. Having thrown
off all desire for gain or to profit from knowledge, through
staying in the wilderness, like a gazelle, depending upon
seclusion, practicing morality and the dharanls, I moved
through the stages. I have never said what is not the truth. Such
are the blessings I give to you: In the future, when times are
terrible, there will be this Sutra for you.
Amitayus, Lokanatha, and Aksobhya will send forth rays
of light, and on these rays of light one will be able to see all the
sixty times ten million Buddhas together with their attendants.
In the future, these teachers and attendants will guard the
Dharma, and this Sutra, the Dharmamudra, in times to come
will lead to Attainment.
At the time of listening to this prophecy, the gods called
out, Well done! and rained down flowers as the three thou
sand great thousands of worlds shook and trembled.
Just then the Bodhisattva Pramuditaraja, together with the
thirty thousand other Bodhisattvas, began to shake uncontrol
lably. Trembling, soaked in perspiration, they rose from their
seats, their faces wet with tears. Facing the Lord Buddha, with
folded palms, they bowed before him and offered these seemly
words to the Lord:
Lord, in times to come, when we are faced with threats
and beatings; when we are despised for speaking the Dharma;

when pristine awareness which is all-knowing no longer exists;
when the Doctrine has perished and there is little sight of
wisdom; when the white dharmas have been destroyed and
our way of life is at an end; at that time we will completely give
up both body and life. We will transcribe and then uphold and
teach the Sutras of realization such as this one cutting like a
sword all glorification of renown; realizing the various treasures
of the path of the Tathagatas; realizing the mudras of true
self-assurance; realizing the way of the dharanis, the ocean
which gathers so well the roots of virtue; and we will achieve
omniscience and overcome Mara. Lord, with this precious
samadhi, we will make joyful even all those sentient beings who
are in hell.
The Bodhisattva Pramuditaraja then offered these verses:
Except for the Protector of the World, who else is there who
can be my witness, who knows my thoughts and desire for
enlightenment? Great Jina, in the future, at the time of great
devastation, I will give up my life and my body, everything
without exception, and will take up this samadhi.
Even though I live in hellish places for innumerable
kalpas, in holding to this samadhi, I will always be happy. While
taking care of all sentient beings, I will demonstrate the
Dharma, unconcerned with worldly things. And having thrown
off all worldly motivations, I will act for the sake of all living
creatures. In that future time I will take my stand, and I will use
whatever I can of body and life, of flesh and bones, of sinews
for I will never waste my time.
I will give up all my loving friends and go into the
wilderness where I will envelop all living beings with love and
give them medicine to make them healthy. I will train all those
who are caught up in wrong modes of behavior, and I will
practice this Sutra, following right ways of action. I will always
take care to act in accord with the knowledge of the Buddhas;

and I will bring joy to those who have been traveling from time
out of mind. To help sentient beings I will even jump into heaps
of burning embers, and I will also seek the great medical
Dharmas for the time of great devastation. But I will never teach
of enlightenment for the sake of honor or gloiy.
While this extensive teaching was being explained, there
approached from the numberless world systems of the
universe, living beings as numerous as the sands of seventy
Ganges rivers. Just from hearing these teachings, these beings
became irreversible from perfect unexcelled enlightenment,
and all the many thousands of Bodhisattvas obtained this
samadhi. Ten times one hundred thousand gods, who would
later preach this Dharma, were filled with exultation, and
became irreversible from enlightenment. With regard to these
teachings seven hundred million gods purified the Dharma eye,
and with respect to these same teachings, eighteen times ten
million human beings of the four groups of the Sangha
produced the Dharma eye. All the beings in the three lower

states grew peaceful. And the radiance of the Blessed One
illumined all the world systems of the ten directions, as many as
there are sands of the river Ganges.
Instantaneously, from the pinnacle of existence to the Avici
hell, all sentient beings experienced happiness. From the
radiance of the Lord Buddha there appeared hundreds of
billions of tens of millions of lotuses that displayed hundreds of
thousands of petals in boundless jeweled array; and on all of
the lotuses were seated Sakyamuni Buddhas all alike, with
attendants like those of the Tathagatas. Pramuditaraja prayed
to all of these Buddhas, at which all the Buddhas gave this
samadhi, causing countless sentient beings to become irrev
ersible from complete, unexcelled, and perfect enlightenment.
This completes the first chapter: the teachings of taking up
the Bodhisattvasactivities, the completely purifying actions.

A
t this time, the Lord Buddha spoke to the Bodhisattva
Pramuditaraja: 81
Thus, Pramuditaraja, to show respect for the Dharma,
one should make offerings to the Dharma, giving freely and
effortlessly. Pramuditaraja, once, long ago, many countless
kalpas past, there came forth a Tathagata Arhat, a fully accom
plished Buddha known as King of the Glorious Light of
Certainty as Beautiful as Gold. The span of his life was incal
culable; the array of his Buddha-field was boundless, and his
attendants were innumerable.
At the time of the last five hundred years of the Dharma,
there appeared a Dharma teacher called Treasury of Activity of
Boundlessly Glorious Gemlike Body. At the time he taught this
samadhi, the other monks had fallen away from all the teach
ings. But this intrepid Dharma teacher, without regard for life or
body, went to live in a cemetery, where he subsisted on fruit and
roots and taught this samadhi. The gods from the heaven realm
of the Four Great Kings up to the gods of the Akanistha realm
approached him so as to listen to the Dharma.

Now, at that time, there also lived a chakravartin king
named Voice Without Sorrow That Gladdens Many Beings. He
listened to this samadhi from that Dharma teacher, and having
heard these teachings, promised to protect the Dharma master:
O Reverend Monk, teach this samadhi, the true gift of the
Buddhas! I will protect and support you. He then established
his one thousand sons as guardians of this teaching.
Some thirty thousand living beings with all-penetrating
minds undertook to provide the requisites for the Dharma
teachers comfort; and with his life thus made most joyful, he
taught this samadhi for half of one kalpa. By having produced
these roots of virtue, the Dharma teacher, together with the king
and his sons and the whole rest of the assembly, all together
delighted thirty thousand times ten million times one hundred
thousand billion Buddhas for eighty kalpas; and they obtained
this samadhi from them all. They even embraced the Buddha-
fields, according to their deepest resolves.
Pramuditaraja, the Tathagata Amityus was that Dharma
teacher; if you think that Dharma teacher was some other, do
not think in such a way. The Tathagata Aksobhya was the
chakravartin king; and the one thousand Buddhas of the
Bhadrakalpa were the kings sons.
Pramuditaraja, you and these other thirty thousand
Bodhisattvas were those who became protectors and support
ers of the teaching, providing the requisites of happiness
according to the eveiy wish of that Dharma master.
Pramuditaraja, this is the samadhi of Bodhisattvas. As this
is so, let those who abide in genuine attainment embrace and
honor this samadhi of the Bodhisattvas. Let them approach it,
let them transcribe it, let them teach it.

The Lord Buddha then presented the following teaching in
verse: 85
Not even the merit of those who have given joy to all
sentient beings for a full thousand times ten million kalpas can
compare with the merit of those who have generated one
thought of great enlightenment.
Suppose all sentient beings in the ten directions became
Pratyekabuddhas, and one honored them with all good things
for a kalpa compared to great enlightenment; this has no
merit.
Suppose all the beings in the universe became Buddhas
and one worshiped them for a kalpa according to their every
wish not even this could compare with having one thought of
great enlightenment.
In order to preserve the Buddhadharma, there are those
who recite the verses of the Teachings. But although they are

highly regarded by mankind, their merit cannot compare to the
merit of those who have the thought of Bodhicitta in order to
watch over enlightenment. Though one may have established
in enlightenment all the sentient beings of this universe, far
nobler is the merit of those who have heard that the aggregates
do not exist, and yet are not afraid.
Though a Bodhisattva may have given gifts that filled the
Buddha-fields with all the precious things that might exist for
kalpas as many as ten million times the sands of the Ganges
river, those who have supported enlightenment are nobler still.
All the words of those who preserve the scriptures by recitation
cannot begin to express this inconceivable samadhi, which is
the support of enlightenment as set forth by the Jinas.
Those who transcribe this samadhi and uphold it will see
the great host of Buddhas when their time of death arrives.
Recalling this samadhi to memory, their confusion will disap
pear, and they will take rebirth wherever they desire. Those
who rejoice in this king of samadhis will proceed to the higher
realms, with joyful mind and joyful body, until they obtain
enlightenment. They will meet with the saints, and never again
experience suffering.
This samadhi is the treasury of the Jinas. For entering its
thousand times ten thousand portals of boundless light, I have
shown the place of wonderful strengths. Now apply yourselves
to this enlightenment samadhi. The powers expressed with
these words should thus be gained.
Apply yourself to entering this samadhi for as long as you
exist, and in the future you will never grieve. I have expressed
this just as it came to hand; now apply yourself to practice with
the highest mind. Out of love, I have done many deeds: Now act
as if this advice were from father to son.

The Lord Buddha, having taught this samadhi, then
entered into this samadhi. The Bodhisattva Pramuditaraja
likewise entered this samadhi, and in seven days, through the
process of distinguishing the dharmas, he finely distinguished
this samadhi.
At that time, eighty four thousand Licchavis were living
within the city of Vaisall, and eighty four thousand Licchavis
were living outside the city. And they were all thinking the
following: The Tathagata, Arhat, fully accomplished Buddha,
came into this world in order to help many beings, in order to
bring joy to many beings. He came out of loving-kindness for the
world, in order to bring happiness and benefit to gods and men.
This Tathagata, Arhat, fully accomplished Buddha has entered
into meditation; now who among us will request that he arise
from the samadhi of the Tathagatas?
At this, the Licchavis from inside the city proceeded to the
location where the Elder Sariputra was staying. When they
arrived at that place, they said to the Elder Sariputra, Reverend
Sariputra, it is exceedingly rare for a Buddha to appear in the
short span of a lifetime, and faith, too, is also rare. Now, the
Tathagata, the Arhat, the complete and perfect Buddha, is
absorbed in contemplation. Out of compassion for us, please
request that the Tathagata, Arhat, fully accomplished Buddha
arise from his samadhi.

Upon hearing this request from the people of the Licchavi,
the Elder Sriputra approached the Lord. Now the Buddha, by 91
meditation, had entered meditation; by samdhi, had entered
samdhi. Sriputra, search as he would, could not discern the
abode of the Tathgata. So the Elder Sriputra approached the
venerable Mahmaudgalyyana and told him of the thoughts
and disposition of the Licchavis. In response, by the miraculous
power of the great Maudgalyyana, the three thousand great
thousands of worlds shook and trembled.
Due to such intense vibrations everywhere, the Tathagata
understood that the melody emanating from below the world
of Brahma was a request for him to arise from samadhi, but he
did not yet arise. And so the Elder Sariputra, the Elder
Mahamaudgalyayana, the all-knowing Kaundinya, and the
Elder Bhadra; and Subahu, Mahanama, Gavampati, Rahula,
Purna, Subhuti, Katyayana, Kasyapa, Ananda, Purnavara,
Mahakapphina, and Upali, as well as the Bodhisattva Maitreya
together with five thousand other Bodhisattvas, approached

the Lord. Having circumambulated the Buddha, they then
seated themselves at their places.
The Four Great Kings, Sakra the Lord of the Gods, and the
devaputras of Yama, of Tusita, of Nirmanarati, and of
Paranirmitavasavartin, together with the innumerable deva
putras of the desire realm, all approached the Lord. They
prostrated themselves with their heads at his feet, and after
bowing to the Lord, stood to one side. The gods of the realm of
Brahma, of Abhasvara, of Subhakrtsna, and of Brhatphala
all the gods up to and including the gods of Suddhavasa
assembled; and with innumerable devaputras, they bowed to
the Lord and stood to one side.
At that time, the Bodhisattva Pramuditaraja, unconcerned
with anything else, had been wholly absorbed in meditation for
seven days. Upon the passage of these seven days, having
thoroughly analyzed his thoughts, he arose from his absorp
tion. He approached the courtyard; and having drawn near the
Bodhisattvas those who had gained mastery over virtuous
qualities he bowed low. After joining his palms reverently
before the Lord, he took his seat.
The Buddha, with full knowledge of what had come to
pass, then arose from that samadhi. He looked upon the whole
assembly with the glance of an elephant, but remained seated
without speaking. At this time the Bodhisattva Pramuditaraja
made this request to the Buddha: Surely the time has come to
pass for the Lord to give us teachings, for him to speak to us of the
Dharma. If this is so, and the Lord chooses this opportunity to
grant us the requested teaching, we will ask something of the
Lord.

Thus he spoke, and the Lord Buddha replied to the
Bodhisattva Pramuditaraja, Noble son, ask of the Tathagatha
whatever questions you may wish, and may you delight in my
answer to each of your questions.
The Bodhisattva Pramuditaraja then said to the Lord
Buddha: Lord, during my stay alone in retreat, when I entered
into deep absorption, I had the thought that all those who are
Bodhisattvas become perfected for the sake of enlightenment,
and such Bodhisattvas, by means of the paramitas performed
for the sake of enlightenment, amass the roots of virtue. And I
thought, Lord: Is a paramita something that benefits living
beings, or is a paramita something that helps one to gain
enlightenment? Is a paramita something impure, or is a
paramita something pure?
My thoughts were like this. However that may be, would
the Lord please explain to us at length: In what paramitas do
Bodhisattvas truly develop, and in what paramitas do they
generate a firm grasp of the Dharma-way of the Bodhisattva
the beginning, the middle, and through to the end? Would the
Lord please explain to us the practice of those of skillful means?
So that we may obtain an overflowing abundance of the highest
joy, I pray that the Lord grant us this extensive teaching.

very question of the Tathagata, it is most wonderful. Moreover,
you have asked this very question from ninety times ten million
past Buddhas. Thus, Pramuditaraja, listen well, engrave it
properly in your mind , and I will explain.
Lord, this is just as I would wish.
A
nd so the Lord spoke the following to the Bodhisattva
Pramuditaraja:

And so it is, Pramuditaraja, that Bodhisattvas, by dwelling
on these twenty-one hundred paramitas, gain proficiency in all
the Dharmas of the Bodhisattva Mahasattvas; they obtain
peerlessness; they obtain the very essence of knowledge that
does not depend on others; in subduing all conditioned things,
they bring existence to perfection; they achieve full knowledge
that cuts through all doubts.
They come to attain actual omniscience. By fully and
completely accomplishing these paramitas, they obtain the
eighty-four thousand samadhis. They attain the eighty-four
thousand portals of the dharanls; they achieve the five hundred
forms of playfulness of the Buddhas; they become wise in the
range of actions of all sentient beings.
The Bodhisattva Pramuditaraja then replied to the Lord
Buddha: The Lord has presented the concise form of the
Dharma exposition called Showing the Realm of the Buddhas.
As the Lord Buddha has not yet taught us the extensive
meaning of this teaching, we beg him to do so not for
ourselves alone, but so that the Lord may benefit many beings,
may bring joy to many beings, may show kindness to many
beings. May he clearly explain to us these vast teachings for the
happiness, benefit, and well-being of gods and men.
Then the Lord Buddha replied to the Bodhisattva
Pramuditaraja: Pramuditaraja, for just these reasons, listen
well. Remember what I say, and I will explain at length.
Having expressed: Lord, that is just my wish! the Bodhi
sattva Pramuditaraja listened as the Lord Buddha had in
structed, and the Buddha continued:

/^Nramuditaraja, you ask what are the six paramitas that
I T purify?
The six purifying paramitas are the paramitas of those who
have not yet generated the Enlightened Mind of the Bodhi-
sattva, although their nature rejoices in giving, morality, pa
tience, effort, meditation, and wisdom for the sake of gaining
enlightenment. They have the aspiration for enlightenment,
without having expressed themselves concerning enlighten
ment to any other sentient being or to the previous fully
accomplished and perfect Buddhas.
What are the six paramitas that illuminate?
The six illuminatingparamitas are the paramitas of those who,
through having generated the mind of enlightenment and
through the teachings of the paramitas, carefully examine the
role of their previous practice of giving, previous practice of
morality, previous practice of patience, previous practice of
effort, previous practice of meditation, and previous practice of
wisdom in producing the mind of enlightenment.

Homage to Tathagata Laditavikrama and Homage to Tathagata Simhapaksa
he Buddha then said to Pramuditaraja: Pramuditaraja,
I subdued the demon Mara at the tree of enlightenment,
at Bodhimanda. Having become a Buddha with perfect and
complete enlightenment, for seven days I remained seated
without uncrossing my legs, maturing in delight of the Dharma.
Then Brahma appeared, calling out: Alas! This world is lost!
Although the Tathagata has awakened to a clear and perfect
realization of the vast Dharma, instead of teaching the Dharma,
he remains engaged in contemplation. May this last no longer!
This was his entreaty.
Then the gods of Suddhavasa, gazing from their great
heaven realm, saw me sitting in glory and brilliance at
Bodhimanda. They saw that I was of beautiful appearance and
manner, with light of many colors, upright in posture, clearly a
fortunate being, worthy of being approached, most beautiful,
elegant, shining with great and glorious iridescence, lovely to
behold, nobly formed, more truly noble than any in the world,
pleasingly arrayed, master of pristine awareness, a treasure to

behold; immeasurably glorious, praiseworthy, appearing as
lovely in color as in wisdom. Even as they appeared and saw me,
they arranged themselves suitably in my presence, and offered
the following in verse:
Tamer of the demon Mara, conqueror of the fettering
passions, the foundations of the three thousand worlds shake
at your deeds. You have thrown off the misery of the lower
stages, yet you remain seated in front of the Bodhi tree! Seated
at ease: your body straight, completely beautiful, unshakable,
like Mount Meru, your light shines throughout all the Buddha-
fields Protector, seated in shining light before the great tree.
By the power of your equanimity, you sit cross-legged,
unmoving, like a lion: the Protector, gazing with the mastery
none can equal, seated in shining glory on the Conquerors
throne. You bring peace to the miserable creatures in the lower
states of existence, and make accessible the paths to the higher
states of being. Thus you extinguish all that is unwished for in
the world as you sit in shining light in front of the great sala tree.
Seated in practice of perfect equanimity, you understand
the way of truth to benefit the world. In your intent to indicate
the power of truth, O Protector, you sit in shining light on the
Conquerors throne. Reflecting upon the very essence of all
aspects of the three times, you purify the three types of beings.
Such is your knowledge of time, that when you intend to teach,
it will be time it is as part of your being to teach as it is for the
moon to shine where you are seated.
O Holy One of the world, wise in the ways of sentient
beings, you who are graced with the glorious body having the
thirty-two marks, you who are the great rishi, most beautiful of
the world Brahma, worried, has himself drawn near, praying
that you look upon the world, which has fallen into the three
fires. We pray that with the boat made of the branches of
enlightenment, you will indicate to us the way. Protector,
please show us the seven branches of enlightenment. Let fall
the rain of ambrosia! This is the time!

We ask that you look upon the beings who live like
demons those with wrong ways of thinking, who are lost and
blind. You, the Teacher, immutable one, graced with vision,
please show your compassion now, at this your time! Please
pull from the ocean of existence these poor sentient beings who
are swept away by the ocean of existence: the abyss of bad states
of being for those who hold extreme views. Surely you, who act
for the sake of all beings, will carry these beings across by the
boat of the branches of enlightenment!
These beings, bound by belief in existence of a self, injured
by this view, are slaves of existence. Long have they been
hindered, never free from bondage. Why do you not lead these
beings forth and free them? Through the power of the fettering
passions they have turned to great error. Covered by defile
ments, they have been too long asleep. Why do you not sound
the drum of the Dharma so that they will obtain the samadhi of
firm spiritual and moral practice?
The destitute in these worlds, the gods, men, animals,
hungry ghosts, and dwellers in hell all who have lost hope
should be awakened. Today you have obtained the seven
jewels; why do you not set forth the most holy of offerings?
Thousands of sentient beings lack the ambrosia of the doctrine,
yet bear the seeds of great faith. Why do you not rain down the
factors of enlightenment from the billowing clouds of compas
sion flashing the lightning of liberation?
For those in the three realms so sick with pain and aching
troubles, destitute in their inner hearts, and tormented by emo
tionality why do you not use the great medicine you have ob
tained, the factors of enlightenment, to free these beings who
have been ill for so long? These beings have entered a thick
cloud of darkness; these beings are covered over with ignorance
and sick with great sorrow. Why do you not clear away this un
bearable darkness with the lamp of wisdom of the thousand
fold world-system?

Homage to the Tathagata Sumati and Homage to the Tathagata Lokaprabha
These beings have fallen into the abyss and are sucked into
the four pools of the foulest of swamps. In order to help the
worlds of men and gods, why do you, the merciful Protector,
not pull them free? Why do you not demonstrate the precious
path with clearly upright and unswerving joyfulness to
these men and gods who are so completely set at odds by the
many dogmatists attached to wrong views? Brahma himself has
prayed to the Lion of Lords. So let the Perfect Buddha turn his
eyes upon these three worlds, and having looked upon them,
may he have compassion for sentient beings and turn the
faultless Dharma Wheel.
These gods, having praised me in this fashion while I was
seated upon the lion throne at Bodhimanda, then joyfully
dispersed as I turned the Wheel of the Dharma.
After the Buddha had thus spoken, the Bodhisattva
Pramuditaraja then asked: Lord, among this assembly of
Bodhisattva Mahasattvas, are there those who will undertake
these samadhis, undertake these paramitas, and obtain these
eighty-four thousand entries to the doors of samadhi?

The Buddha replied to the Bodhisattva Pramuditaraja:
Pramuditaraja, here among this assembly of Bodhisattva
Mahasattvas (which does not include the four Tathagatas who
have already manifested perfect and unexcelled enlightenment
and have attained Buddhahood in this Bhadrakalpa) there are
those Bodhisattvas who, also in this Bhadrakalpa, will become
Buddhas, manifesting perfect, unexcelled enlightenment. And
they will undertake these samadhis, undertake these
paramitas, and obtain these eighty-four thousand entries to the
doors of samadhi.
The Bodhisattva Pramuditaraja then replied to the
Buddha: What you say is wonderful, wonderful! May the Lord
Buddha please give us the names and lineages of these Bodhi
sattvas as medicine for many beings; for the happiness of
many beings; out of compassion for the world; for the welfare,
happiness, and healing of gods and men; so that all beings
might embrace the holy Dharma; so that the holy Dharma
might last a very long time; so that in the future, Bodhisattvas
will be filled with light; so that they will never hold back their
energy as they act for the sake of attaining fully accomplished,
perfect, and unexcelled enlightenment.
The Buddha replied to the Bodhisattva Pramuditaraja:
Pramuditaraja, for all these reasons, listen with your full
awareness, imprinting what I say upon your mind.
The Bodhisattva Pramuditaraja replied: Lord, so be it.
And as the Lord Buddha had instructed, he listened with full
attention. Then the Buddha, speaking in verse, gave the names
of the perfect Buddhas, the Tathagata Arhats, and the names of
these Bodhisattvas.

/^ ^ ' h e s e are the Buddhas of this Bhadrakalpa, and these the
W n a m e s by which they have been proclaimed. Whoever lis
tens to the names of these beings who will gain the fruit called
nirvana, will never again be obscured in mind. The wise, those
who are conscientious, are always humble and reverent so
listen to the names of these Jinas, the Conquerors!
Onceyou have truly heard their names,you will never again
experience the suffering of the lower states of being. Those who
persevere in moral practice and keep their spiritual commit
ments, those who gain realization through devotion to the
teachings, in developing profound patience, will see all these
protectors of the world.
For tens of millions of kalpas, the ignorant have ripened
the karmic fruit of harmful actions. But all those who embrace
the names of these Jinas these conquerors who have extin
guished all imperfections will also be victorious. So seek
from this samadhi the entrance to the many ten thousands
of Sutras seek out realization of the samadhis, miraculous
activities, and analytical knowledges; seek out realization
of the many forms of speech, seek out pristine awareness.
By striving for a life that is honest and pure, by striving to
be without envy and for knowledge of maturity, and by striving
to assimilate knowledge and the dharani, you will understand
this samadhi well.

The Bodhisattva Pramuditaraja replied to the Buddha:
Lord, what you have said is truly wonderful, a medicine for
many beings, both gods and men! It will bring many beings joy.
In the future, Bodhisattvas, even simply by hearing these words,
will renew their zeal and will develop especially noble aspira
tions in the holy Dharma. They will increasingly be filled with
light. So that this may come to be, may the Lord explain all
aspects of these Buddhas of the Bhadrakalpa the land, the
descent, the light, the father and mother, the son, the principal
attendant, the foremost follower of greatness and foremost of
goodness, the complement of their monastic assemblies, the
extent of their life span, the duration of the holy Dharma in the
world, and the extent of the relics.
The Buddha answered the Bodhisattva Pramuditaraja:
uO noble son, for all of these reasons, listen with your complete
awareness, listen closely, and imprint all that I shall say upon
your mind.

1733
Then the Bhagavat proclaimed these verses:
Such is the maturation of small offerings to the Buddhas.
When this can be the fruit of ones life in samsara, what wise one
would not generate the mind of enlightenment? Even if one had
the ability to measure the sky or to measure the extent of the
vast ocean, it would still be difficult to measure the merit of even
the slightest faith in the Buddhas.
With such faith, one will never again experience, for as
long as it takes to touch the joys of nirvana, the sufferings of the
leisureless states. Therefore, having gained the field of merit of
the Jinas, let the prudent honor and respect the Buddhas.
When one has great devotion for the Buddhas, the boundless
virtue of making even the smallest offerings to the relics of the
nirvana of the Sugata is inconceivable. So do likewise!

To offer the qualities of the Jinas with the mind of en
lightenment, to offer the Dharmas of the four immeasurables
and the realm of sentient beings and the realm of the sky
only the Teacher can understand this. If a pauper were to find a
treasure one yojana all around, there would be no joy in it like
the joy found in striving to generate enlightenment to up
hold all sentient beings with great compassion.
The enlightenment of a Buddha involves: the eight sports
of the Jina; the ten strengths; the four productions of joy for the
five hundred gatherings of sentient beings. It also involves: the
eighty thousand approaches to realization; the eighty-four
thousand difficult realizations; the sixty thousand doors that
are unexcelled; the divisions of the stages and the seventy-six
awarenesses. It involves the eighteen actions characteristic of
the Buddha; the five heroisms; the ten foundations; and the
eleven billion modes of conduct. Moreover, it involves the
special qualities of the Buddhas, the signs and marks, and the
path of action.

Since none of these are the mode of conduct of the
Pratyekabuddha, what need one say of the Sravakas way of
pursuit? The Buddhas are unexcelled and have no equal, and
thus they are called the Inconceivable.
Those with the mind of excellent enlightenment act
faultlessly, incomparably. They, today, have gained the great
jewel of the world. They are the finest healers, healing and
giving sustenance to the world; they have conquered Mara,
and gained immortality. They bring the promise of abundance
like the beautiful billowing rain clouds. Having entered enlight
enment, they are the refuge of the world; they gather beings
by means of the seven precious gems.
Having patiently endured many hundreds of miseries,
they enter enlightenment how could they have regrets? They
quickly obtain these wondrous qualities, even becoming the
finest beings of all the world. It is by the cause of desire that one
experiences much suffering and with the maturation of
such suffering, one falls into bad states of being. Therefore, to
gain the qualities of enlightenment and high states of being,
those who are wise would break off from the foolish. The
childish create disharmony; the wise do not. The ignorant are
confused; those with understanding obtain mindfulness. Fools
sink in the swamp; the wise abide on high ground.
Those who practice the Dharma are patient. Therefore,
abandon what is not suitable, and depend on all suitable
objects of knowledge. Having abandoned the attainment of
glory and renown, cultivate the practice of this samadhi. Even
by keeping in mind the qualities of each Buddha, you will pro
duce patience for immeasurable tens of thousands of kal-
pas. What more can be said of the inconceivable qualities of
the Buddhas?
1737
Therefore, persevere through fear and suffering; clothe
yourself in the armor of patience and samadhi. Mount the

chariot of morality, and fly the victory banner of effort. Conquer
Mara with the strength of giving and the arrows of wisdom.
Having conquered, you will touch upon enlightenment!
Find your enjoyment in the paramitas, inseparable from
spiritual friends of attainment and the friends of love. Partake of
the food of strength, staying in the abode of emptiness. At such
a time, obtain the qualities of all-knowingness; always apply
yourself with care to the sure and certain teachings I have
spoken here. Quickly obtain all-knowingness be joyful, like
the geese calling in the sky.
Pramuditaraja, long ago there came forth, together with
one billion attendants, the Tathagata called Boundless Effort,
who also taught this samadhi. At the time he taught this
samadhi, it was heard by King Flower of Merit who said to his
one thousand queens and one thousand sons: I do not
understand the purpose of this all-illumining samadhi. Not
having understood it, I am also not able to apply it with
understanding. But still, we can rejoice in this wonderful
sermon of the Tathagata!
By having rejoiced at this samadhi so well explained and
spoken by the Bhagavat, at the instant of elation, he destroyed
samsaric tendencies for eighty thousand kalpas, turning from
his own self-interest. He also obtained the dharanl called
Khyim-can, the Asset of Householder, and completely lost all
skepticism concerning the doctrine of enlightenment. From
that root of virtue, he pleased three hundred thousand
Buddhas, and obtained this samadhi from them all.
He never again fell into error, or experienced lack of
opportunity. From this very cause does the full and complete
enlightenment of the Buddha come forth. And so he will
become a fully enlightened and perfect Buddha.

Pramuditaraja, do you think that this King Flower of Merit
was someone else? Is it not clear that the Tathagata Amitayus,
at that time, was indeed the king called Flower of Merit? And
these Tathagatas of the Good Kalpa were his one thousand
sons of that time.
Such is the power of this samadhi, even from merely
rejoicing in it. What need to speak of the power of reading it, of
giving instructions in it, of achieving this samadhi?
Pramuditaraja, at a time long ago, a Tathagata called Joy
of Ambrosia came forth with his retinue of one hundred
thousand. At that time, a chakravartin king called Expansive
Mind offered a mansion filled with golden light, sprinkled with
the essence of red sandlewood, and perfumed with burning
agaru incense. He made a like offering to all the monks of the
Sangha for the sake of their enjoyment; he even offered a
pleasure garden to each one. And he listened to the doctrine of
this samadhi from that Buddha.

Now, the Bhagavat of that time had an attendant, the
finest of his learned disciples, who was known as Perfected
Wisdom. It was to him that the king said: If I am to understand
this samadhi, it is difficult to realize it while I am living as a
householder. Surely I must shave my head and beard and
renounce the householders life.Then, having shaven his head
and beard, he dressed himself in the saffron robes and left his
home to become a homeless renuncate, and his ten thousand
sons and eighty-four thousand queens became renunciates
along with him. All of them wished to request the purity of this
samadhi, and the Buddha, understanding their thoughts,
taught this samadhi exclusively for seven days. Having heard
this teaching, they said to each other: Alas! This samadhi is
difficult to envision. Nevertheless, we will carefully transcribe it
and uphold it. Then all of them, having transcribed this
samadhi, worshiped it. They comprehended this samadhi, and
they taught it.
After they all had passed from that lifetime, again they
became part of a holy assembly, and brought delight to six
hundred thousand Buddhas. They heard this samadhi from all
these Buddhas; they all became renunciates and obtained this
samadhi. And according to their prayers of aspiration, by this
root of virtue alone, they all would obtain enlightenment.
Pramuditaraja, do you think that the chakravartin king
Expansive Mind was someone else? Is it not clear that the
Tathagata DIpamkara was, at that time long ago, the chakravar
tin king called Expansive Mind? The Tathagata Vipasyin was the
attendant called Perfected Wisdom.
As for the ten thousand sons, they will not become
Buddhas until sixty-five kalpas following this kalpa. After that,
there will come forth the kalpa called Great-Renown; and in this
one kalpa, all of them will become Buddhas with fully accom
plished and complete enlightenment.

The eighty thousand ministers will not become Buddhas
until another eighty kalpas after the kalpa of Great-Renown
when there will come forth the kalpa called Starlike. At this
time, these eighty thousand ministers will become Buddhas
with fully perfect and complete enlightenment. The kalpa
Starlike having passed, for three hundred kalpas no Buddhas
will appear. After that, there will be the kalpa called Array of
Virtue, Gunavyuha. During this kalpa the eighty-four thousand
queens will become Buddhas, manifesting complete and
perfect enlightenment.
Pramuditaraja, this samadhi is thus great in its fruition.
Pramuditaraja, as this is so, those who perfect the highest
aspirations of the Bodhisattva seek this samadhi without con
sidering either their bodies or even their lives. As you desire to
become a Buddha with fully accomplished and complete
perfect enlightenment, apply yourself to the yoga of this
samadhi.
1745
Then the Lord Buddha bestowed this in verse: Whoever is
intent on gaining the enlightenment of a Buddha should learn
from that king. For apart from those who abide in the attain
ment of this samadhi, there are none who will attain supreme
enlightenment. And so, generating the slightest faith in this
samadhi will accordingly lead to vast results. Therefore, with
the highest unwavering aspirations reverently practice this
samadhi as much as you can.
Whoever wishes to see the Jinas who have here been
proclaimed, whoever desires the extensive explanation of this
doctrine, should do this practice as has been expressed. Merely
by ones delight in this teaching there will arise wonders what
need is there to speak of the results of reading and understand
ing it! One cannot even conceive of such boundless virtues.
Who, upon hearing this, would not then apply themselves to
this practice?

So seek from this samadhi, the Buddhadharma: the
marks of the exact knowledge of enlightenment; the teaching;
the discourse of the mind of transcendence; the attainments;
and light; purification of karma that thereby conquers the
demons; purification of view that thereby exhausts existence;
playfulness; and establishing the array of a Buddha-field for
those endowed with this samadhi, these are not rarities!
Likewise, liberation and perfect inspiration; a pure body
purifying all action; awakening to enlightenment according to
ones desire. Indeed, all these abide in this samadhi. As I am
able to express this in words, therefore gain attainment in all
these. If you do not find joy in the Dharma of all-knowingness,
later you will surely mourn. I have demonstrated all the
paramitas and the path of applying the ocean of awareness. But
those who persevere in foolish actions, depending on the body,
are not able to understand them. When times are very bad and
sentient beings are destructive, in the final days of the decline
of the Dharma when bad states of being increase, the wise, who
have become weary, will grow fearful, like deer on the alert.
Pramuditaraja, there are some Bodhisattvas who practice
the six paramitas along with skillful means for a thousand
kalpas. But the merit they amass cannot approach, nor can this
previous merit be compared with, even a hundredth part of the
merit amassed by having heard this samadhi and having
rejoiced in it.
While this Dharma teaching was being presented,
countless Bodhisattvas generated minds of completely perfect,
unexcelled enlightenment, and all became irreversible from
complete and perfect and unexcelled enlightenment. Some
eight hundred thousand assembled beings, both gods and
men, being free of defilement and without taint, purified the eye
of the Dharma with relation to the dharmas. And the gods who
had purified the eye of the Dharma, because of their manifest

delight in the Dharma of the Lord Buddha, scattered flowers
over the world system of the trichiliocosm.
And the world system of the three thousand great thou
sands of worlds quaked in six ways. Even from the celestial
spaces the sound of drums of the gods resounded, and
Pramuditaraja, as well as all the ten million Bodhisattvas,
obtained this samadhi. When the Lord Buddha had bestowed
this teaching, Pramuditaraja, as well as the other Bodhisattva
Mahasattvas, and the whole world with its gods, men, asuras,
and gandharvas, all rejoiced in the words of the Lord, and
greatly praised these teachings.
The Aiya-bhadrakalpika-nama-mahayana-sutra is thus com
pleted. It was translated by the Indian Abbot Vidyakarasirhha
and the lo-tsa-ba Bande dPal-gyi-sbyangs, and later revised by
lo-tsa-ba Bande dPal-brtsegs.
Subham astu sarvaja gatam
This new edition [of the Bhadrakalpika-Sutra] was published in
the water male monkey year of the sixteenth rab-byung [1932]
at Ku-se gSer-ljong dgon near sDe-dge lHun-grub stong in
Greater Tibet.

APPENDIX
NAMES OF THE BUDDHAS OF THE BHADRAKALPIKA
1752
There are three passages in the Bhadrakalpika Stra where
the approximately 1000 Buddhas of the Bhadrakalpa are
named. All three sets of names differ slightly, while the iconogra-
phical representations of the gSer-ljong edition present a fourth
list. The first set (p.488ff) is a simple list of the names of the
Buddhas; the second set of names are those found in the
descriptions of the Buddhas that form the substance of
volumes II through IV. The third set appears in volume IV, in the
descriptions of the conditions under which each Buddha first
generated the thought of enlightenment.
In the first list we have indicated the major differences
between the first and second set of names. We have given the
names in groups of ten, with each name marked off with a
comma. Major variations from list two appear in parentheses.
When the name is a significant variant, it is given immediately
after the corresponding name from list one, with no comma
separating the two names. When there is a lacuna in a group in
list one, the corresponding name from list two is inserted, also
in parentheses, but between the commas marking off the ten
names.
The third list lacks seventeen of the names given in the
second list, and has seven names that are not found on the
second list. These seven names also appear on the first list and
on the gSer-ljongs iconographical depictions.
