Good-Wealth Names Himself Twice
Watching Unsurpassed Victory teach a crowd he had just finished judging, Good-Wealth throws himself to the ground and announces his own name twice before asking his question — and the elder answers with a practice reaching every corner of the desire realm, from the highest heavens down to prisons and battlefields.
"I Am Good-Wealth! I Am Good-Wealth!"
For the first time in this pilgrimage, Good-Wealth introduces himself by naming his own name twice in a row — a small but striking break from the usual formula, before asking his question in an unusually elaborate form.
爾時，善財童子觀彼長者為眾說法已，以身投地，頂禮其足，良久乃起，白言：「聖者！我是善財！我是善財！我專尋求菩薩之行，菩薩云何學菩薩行？菩薩云何修菩薩道？隨修學時，常能化度一切眾生，常能現見一切諸佛，常得聽聞一切佛法，常能住持一切佛法，常能趣入一切法門，入一切剎學菩薩行，住一切劫修菩薩道，能知一切如來神力，能受一切如來護念，能得一切如來智慧？」
At that time, having observed that elder teaching the dharma to the assembly, Good-Wealth threw his own body to the ground, bowed his head at his feet, and only after a long while rose, saying: "Noble one, I am Good-Wealth! I am Good-Wealth! I single-mindedly seek the bodhisattva practices — how does a bodhisattva learn the bodhisattva practices? How does a bodhisattva cultivate the bodhisattva path? As I follow this learning and cultivation, may I constantly be able to transform and liberate every being, constantly be able to behold every buddha, constantly be able to hear every buddha-dharma, constantly be able to uphold every buddha-dharma, constantly be able to enter every dharma-gate, enter every land to learn the bodhisattva practices, abide throughout every kalpa to cultivate the bodhisattva path, be able to know every tathāgata's own spiritual power, be able to receive every tathāgata's own protective mindfulness, and be able to attain every tathāgata's own wisdom?"
我是善財！我是善財！ — I am Good-Wealth! I am Good-Wealth! No prior teacher in this pilgrimage has been greeted with Good-Wealth naming himself twice — a small but real change in register, as though the weight of everything witnessed since the pilgrimage began has made simple identification itself feel urgent.
Teaching Every Corner of the Desire Realm
Unsurpassed Victory's own liberation reaches into every heaven of the desire realm and every lowly circumstance alike — prisons, battlefields, bondage, and fear — matching a specific remedy to each, before turning even to those of other paths entirely.
時，彼長者告善財言：「善哉善哉！善男子！汝已能發阿耨多羅三藐三菩提心。「善男子！我成就至一切處菩薩行門無依無作神通之力。善男子！云何為至一切處菩薩行門？善男子！我於此三千大千世界，欲界一切諸眾生中，所謂：一切三十三天、一切須夜摩天、一切兜率陀天、一切善變化天、一切他化自在天、一切魔天，及餘一切天、龍、夜叉、羅剎娑、鳩槃荼，乾闥婆、阿脩羅、迦樓羅、緊那羅、摩睺羅伽、人與非人，村營、城邑、一切住處諸眾生中而為說法，令捨非法，令息諍論，令除鬪戰，令止忿競，令破怨結，令解繫縛，令出牢獄，令免怖畏，令斷殺生乃至邪見一切惡業，不可作事皆令禁止；令其順行一切善法，令其修學一切技藝，於諸世間而作利益；為其分別種種諸論，令生歡喜，令漸成熟；隨順外道，為說勝智，令斷諸見，令入佛法。
At that time, that elder said to Good-Wealth: "Excellent, excellent! Good son, you have already been able to give rise to the mind of anuttara-samyak-sambodhi. Good son, I have accomplished the bodhisattva practice-gate of reaching every place, through a spiritual power that relies on nothing and acts from nothing. Good son, what is this bodhisattva practice-gate of reaching every place? Good son, throughout this great trichiliocosm, among every being of the desire realm — namely, every being of the Trāyastriṃśa heaven, every being of the Suyāma heaven, every being of the Tuṣita heaven, every being of the Nirmāṇarati heaven, every being of the Paranirmita-vaśavartin heaven, every being of the Māra heavens, and every remaining deva, nāga, yakṣa, rākṣasa, kumbhāṇḍa, gandharva, asura, garuḍa, kiṃnara, mahoraga, human and non-human, in every village, town, city, and every dwelling-place — I teach the dharma among these beings, causing them to abandon what is contrary to the dharma, causing them to cease disputes, causing them to eliminate fighting and warfare, causing them to stop anger and contention, causing them to break the knot of enmity, causing them to be released from bondage, causing them to emerge from prison, causing them to escape fear, causing them to cut off killing and every evil karma down to wrong views, prohibiting entirely whatever should not be done; causing them to accord with and practice every wholesome dharma, causing them to learn and study every skill and craft, so as to bring benefit throughout every world; I distinguish for them every kind of doctrine, causing them to give rise to joy, causing them to gradually mature; I accord with those of other paths, teaching them supreme wisdom, causing them to cut off every wrong view, causing them to enter the buddha-dharma.
Part 1052 Complete
This continues chapter thirty-nine, 入法界品, in fascicle sixty-seven. Part 1053 follows Unsurpassed Victory's own practice extending from the Brahmā heavens to every world in the ten directions, teaching each realm of existence — hell, the animal realm, King Yama's own world, and the human world — a dharma matched exactly to its own condition.
