Samantabhadra, the Bodhisattva Assembly, and the Lion-Throne

"The vast lands the Buddha has adorned are equal in number to every fine mote of dust, and pure children of the Buddha fill them entirely,
raining down the inconceivable, most wondrous Dharma. Just as in this very assembly the Buddha is seen seated, so it is within every single mote of dust as well;
the Buddha's body neither goes anywhere nor comes from anywhere, and yet every land is made manifest with total clarity.

Revealing the practice cultivated by bodhisattvas, the skillful means of immeasurable grounds approached, and teaching the true principle hard to conceive,
he causes every child of the Buddha to enter the Dharma-realm. Bringing forth conjured buddhas as numerous as motes of dust, responding universally to whatever the multitude of beings desires,
entering the skillful gateway of the profound Dharma-realm, vast and boundless, he opens and expounds it all.

The Tathāgata's names are equal to the whole world, filling every land of the ten directions entirely, and every skillful means is never wasted,
taming living beings so all depart from defilement. The Buddha, within every single mote of dust, reveals boundless, great spiritual power,
sitting entirely at the awakening-site, able to expound just as the Buddha's own conduct of bodhi did in ages past.

Every vast kalpa that exists across the three periods of time, the Buddha manifests entirely within every single thought,
and every matter of their arising and passing away his inconceivable wisdom understands without exception. The assembly of the Buddha's children is vast without limit, wishing together to fathom the ground of every buddha;
yet the Dharma-gateway of every buddha is without any bound, and to understand it entirely is exceedingly difficult.

The Buddha is like empty space, without any discrimination, equal to the true Dharma-realm, relying on nothing, his conjured forms circulating everywhere without exception,
sitting entirely at the awakening-site to accomplish true awakening. The Buddha, with his wondrous voice, broadly proclaims it, and every ground is made clear entirely,
manifesting universally before each and every living being, bestowing entirely the Tathāgata's own equal Dharma."

"Every land that exists throughout the ten directions, within a single instant, he adorns and purifies entirely,
turning the Dharma-wheel with his wondrous voice, pervading the world universally, unequaled by anything.
The Tathāgata's domain is without any bound, and within a single thought the Dharma-realm is filled entirely;
within every single mote of dust he establishes an awakening-site, realizing bodhi entirely and rousing spiritual transformation.

The World-Honored One, in ages past, cultivated every practice, passing through a hundred thousand immeasurable kalpas,
adorning every buddha-land entirely, appearing unobstructed like empty space itself.
The Buddha's power of spiritual transmutation is without any limit, filling every boundless kalpa entirely;
even were one to pass through immeasurable kalpas, contemplating it in every single thought, one would never grow weary.

You should behold the Buddha's domain of spiritual transmutation: every land of the ten directions he adorns and purifies entirely,
and all of it appears here completely, distinct in every single thought, immeasurable in kind.
Contemplating the Buddha for a hundred thousand immeasurable kalpas, one could not grasp even the measure of a single hair;
the Tathāgata's unobstructed gateway of skillful means, this very light shines universally upon lands hard to conceive.

The Tathāgata, across kalpas in ages past, dwelling in the world, served the whole boundless ocean of every buddha;
and so all beings, like rivers rushing forward, come together to make offerings to the World-Honored One.
The Tathāgata appears throughout the ten directions, and within every single mote of dust are immeasurable lands,
their every domain immeasurable, abiding entirely across boundless, inexhaustible kalpas.

The Buddha, across kalpas in ages past, for the sake of living beings, cultivated the boundless ocean of great compassion,
following living beings into birth-and-death, universally transforming the assembly and causing it to become pure.
The Buddha abides in the treasury of the Dharma-realm, suchness itself, without mark, without form, free of every defilement;
and living beings, beholding his every kind of body, have every calamity and difficulty extinguished entirely."

"Every pāramitā and every ground, vast and hard to conceive, is entirely fulfilled; immeasurable living beings are tamed entirely,
and every buddha-land is adorned and purified entirely. Just as the Buddha teaches and transforms the realm of living beings, every land of the ten directions is filled entirely,
and within a single thought he turns the Dharma-wheel, responding universally to every disposition without exception.

The Buddha, across immeasurable, vast kalpas, manifests universally before every living being, just as he broadly cultivated in ages past,
showing them the pure place of his own conduct. I behold the ten directions entirely, without exception, and see also every buddha manifesting spiritual transmutation,
sitting entirely at the awakening-site to accomplish true awakening, the assembly gathering around, hearing the Dharma together.

The Buddha's Dharma-body, vast and bright, is able through skillful means to appear in the world, following universally what living beings' minds delight in,
raining down the Dharma entirely suited to their capacity. The body of suchness, equal and without mark, the pure Dharma-body of light free of defilement,
the immeasurable body of tranquil wisdom — he responds universally to the ten directions to expound the Dharma.

Every power of the Dharma-King is entirely pure, his wisdom like space, without any bound, revealing it all entirely, hiding nothing,
universally causing living beings to awaken and enter it together. Just as the Buddha cultivated in ages past, even to accomplishing omniscience,
now he emits light pervading the Dharma-realm entirely, and within it everything is revealed with total clarity.

The Buddha, through his fundamental vow, manifests spiritual transmutation, and there is nowhere in the ten directions it fails to illumine;
just as the Buddha cultivated his conduct in ages past, within the net of light he expounds it all entirely.
The domains of the ten directions are without end, unequaled, boundless, each distinct;
the Buddha's unobstructed power emits great light, and every land is made manifest with total clarity."

"Everything every buddha has awakened to, he understands entirely, illumining it all with total clarity, unobstructed like space itself;
his light pervades every immeasurable land of the ten directions, and, dwelling amid the assembly, everything is universally adorned and pure.
The Tathāgata's merit cannot be measured, filling the Dharma-realm of the ten directions entirely;
he sits universally beneath every royal tree, and every great, sovereign being gathers together like clouds.

The Buddha possesses such power of spiritual transmutation, manifesting inexhaustible forms within a single thought;
the Tathāgata's domain is without any bound, and each being, according to their own liberation, is able to behold it.
The Tathāgata, in ages past, passed through an ocean of kalpas, diligently practicing amid every state of existence,
transforming living beings through every kind of skillful means, causing them to accept and practice the Dharma of every buddha.

Vairocana, fully adorned and excellent, sits upon the lion-throne of the lotus-treasury,
and the whole assembly is entirely pure, dwelling in stillness, gazing up at him together.
The treasury of maṇi jewels emits light, universally sending forth clouds of boundless fragrant flame,
and immeasurable flower-wreaths hang draped together — upon such a throne the Tathāgata sits.

Every kind of auspicious, adorning gate forever emits clouds of lamp-light and jeweled flame, vast and blazing, illumining everything without exception,
and the Sage, dwelling above it, increases in adornment and excellence.
Every kind of maṇi forms beautiful, ornate windows, adorned with wondrous jeweled lotus flowers hanging down,
forever uttering a wondrous sound that delights all who hear it, and the Buddha, seated above it, is especially manifest with clarity.

A jeweled wheel upholds the throne in the shape of a half-moon, its dais formed of vajra, its color blazing bright,
and bodhisattvas bearing topknots forever encircle it, the Buddha, dwelling in their midst, shining most radiantly.
Transformations of every kind fill the ten directions, expounding the Tathāgata's vast vow,
and every reflected image appears within it — upon such a throne the Buddha sits at ease."

"The World-Honored One, in the past, gathered the conduct of bodhi, making offerings to immeasurable buddhas of the ten directions;
through the empowerment of the Well-Gone One's majestic power, there is nothing not seen within the Tathāgata's very throne.
The wish-fulfilling king of fragrant-flame maṇi fills and adorns the wondrous lion-throne of flowers,
and every kind of adornment is reflected within it, beheld with total clarity by the whole assembly.

The Buddha's throne universally manifests every adorning mark, its forms and kinds each distinct in every single thought,
and, according to each living being's own understanding, each beholds the Buddha seated upon it differently.
Jeweled branches hang draped in nets of lotus flowers, and as the flowers open, bodhisattvas leap forth and appear,
each uttering a subtle, delightful voice, praising the Tathāgata seated upon the throne.

The measure of the Buddha's merit is like empty space, and every adornment arises from it;
the adorning work within every single ground, not one living being is able to fathom.
Vajra forms the ground, indestructible, vast, pure, and utterly level;
nets of maṇi hang draped through space, pervading the whole area beneath the bodhi tree.

That ground, boundless, is distinct in every color and form, strewn with the dust of true gold,
universally scattered with renowned flowers and every jewel, illuminating and gracing the Tathāgata's throne entirely with light.
The earth-spirits, joyful, leap up in delight, manifesting inexhaustibly within every instant,
universally raising every cloud of adornment, forever dwelling before the Buddha, gazing up at him.

Jeweled lamps, vast and utterly blazing, their fragrant flame flowing with light without interruption, manifest distinctly according to the moment —
the earth-spirits offer this as their very offering. Every adornment possessed by the ground of every land throughout the ten directions
is manifest entirely within this very awakening-site — it is thus through the Buddha's own majestic, spiritual power."

"When the World-Honored One practiced in ages past, he beheld every buddha-land entirely perfect;
the very ground he thus beheld, without end, is manifest entirely within this awakening-site.
The World-Honored One's vast power of spiritual transmutation unfurls light, raining down maṇi jewels universally;
such a treasury of jewels scatters across the awakening-site, and the ground all around is adorned and resplendent entirely.

The Tathāgata's power of merit and spiritual transmutation adorns everything universally with wondrous maṇi;
that ground and the bodhi tree alike, in turn, emit light and voice to expound the Dharma.
Immeasurable jeweled lamps rain down from the sky, sovereign jewels interspersed as adornment,
all uttering a subtle voice to expound the Dharma — this the earth-spirits manifest.

The jeweled ground universally manifests clouds of wondrous light, jeweled torches blazing bright like flashing lightning,
nets of jewels stretched far to cover it above, jeweled branches scattered about for its adornment and excellence.
You should all universally behold this ground, adorned by every kind of wondrous jewel,
revealing the ocean of every living being's karma, causing them to understand the true nature of the Dharma.

Universally, throughout the ten directions, every buddha's own perfect bodhi tree
is manifest entirely within this awakening-site, expounding the Tathāgata's pure Dharma.
According to what the minds of living beings delight in, this ground universally utters a wondrous voice,
expounding, just as it should be expounded upon the Buddha's own throne, every single Dharma-gateway in full.

This ground forever emits wondrous, fragrant light, and within that light a pure voice is universally proclaimed;
if there is any living being fit to receive the Dharma, it causes them all to hear it and have their affliction extinguished.
Every single adornment is entirely perfect, and even across a hundred million kalpas it could not be fully told;
the Tathāgata's spiritual power pervades everything without exception, and so this ground is adorned and pure entirely."
