Every Buddha Within a Single Thought
The verse turns to scale — a single thought that beholds countless buddhas, a single hair's tip that gathers in every dharma, a single pore where every buddha is clearly seen — before an extended meditation on offering: incense, flowers, and jeweled canopies given to every buddha, for as many kalpas as there are sentient beings, without a single moment of weariness.
Within a Single Thought, Every Buddha Beheld
The bodhisattva's own scope of perception is stated first — a single thought that beholds countless buddhas, a single hair's tip that gathers every dharma, a single pore in which every buddha is clearly seen — before the verse turns to the first offerings: every kind of incense and flower, distributed throughout the whole dharma-realm.
諸佛菩薩所成就,種種差別諸功德,如是功德無有邊,願使眾生悉圓滿。
菩薩具足自在力,所應學處皆往學,示現一切大神通,普詣十方無量土。
菩薩能於一念頃,覲等眾生無數佛,又復於一毛端中,盡攝諸法皆明見。
世間眾生無有量,菩薩悉能分別知,諸佛無量等眾生,大心供養咸令盡。
種種名香上妙華,眾寶衣裳及幡蓋,分布法界咸充滿,發心普供十方佛。
一毛孔中悉明見,不思議數無量佛,一切毛孔皆如是,普禮一切世間燈。
舉身次第恭敬禮,如是無邊諸最勝,亦以言辭普稱讚,窮盡未來一切劫。
一如來所供養具,其數無量等眾生,如是供養一如來,一切如來亦復然。
供養讚歎諸如來,盡彼世間一切劫,世間劫數可終盡,菩薩供養無休懈。
一切世間種種劫,於爾所劫修諸行,恭敬供養一如來,盡一切劫無厭足。
如無量劫供一佛,供一切佛皆如是,亦不分別是劫數,於所供養生疲厭。
法界廣大無邊際,菩薩觀察悉明了,以大蓮華遍布中,施等眾生無量佛。
寶華香色皆圓滿,清淨莊嚴甚微妙,一切世間無可諭,持以供養人中尊。
眾生數等無量剎,諸妙寶蓋滿其中,悉以供養一如來,供一切佛皆如是。
塗香無比最殊勝,一切世間未曾有,以此供養天人師,窮盡眾生數等劫。
Whatever every buddha and bodhisattva has accomplished, every kind of distinct merit, merit such as this is without any boundary, and he wishes every sentient being to fully complete it. The bodhisattva, fully possessing sovereign power, goes to study wherever there is something to be studied; manifesting every kind of great spiritual power, universally going forth to the immeasurable lands of the ten directions. The bodhisattva is able, within the span of a single thought, to behold countless buddhas equal to the number of sentient beings; and further, within a single hair's tip, to entirely gather in every dharma and behold it all clearly. Sentient beings throughout the world are without measure, yet the bodhisattva is entirely able to discriminate and know them; buddhas immeasurable, equal to sentient beings, he makes offerings to them all with a great mind, entirely exhausting the possibility of leaving any out. Every kind of renowned incense and supreme, wondrous flower, every kind of jeweled garment, streamer, and canopy, distributed and filling the whole dharma-realm, giving rise to the mind to universally make offerings to every buddha of the ten directions. Within a single pore he clearly beholds an inconceivable number of immeasurable buddhas; every pore is exactly the same, universally bowing before every lamp of the world. Raising his whole body, he bows in reverence one after another to every supreme one such as these, boundless in number, and also praises them universally in speech, to the very end of every future kalpa. The offerings made at the place of a single Tathāgata are immeasurable in number, equal to sentient beings; and just as he makes offerings to that one Tathāgata, so too does he make offerings to every Tathāgata in exactly the same way. Making offerings and praising every Tathāgata, to the very end of every kalpa in that world; even should the number of kalpas in the world come to an end, the bodhisattva's own offerings never cease or grow weary. Throughout every kind of kalpa in every world, for as many kalpas as there are he cultivates every practice; reverently making offerings to a single Tathāgata, to the very end of every kalpa, never growing tired. Just as he makes offerings to a single buddha throughout immeasurable kalpas, so too does he make offerings to every buddha in exactly the same way, never discriminating the number of kalpas, nor ever growing weary of the offerings he makes. The dharma-realm, vast and without any boundary, the bodhisattva contemplates and comprehends entirely; with a great lotus flower spread throughout it, he gives to immeasurable buddhas equal to sentient beings. The jeweled flower's fragrance and color are both fully complete, purely adorned and utterly subtle; nothing in the whole world can compare to it, and he holds it to make offerings to the honored one among humankind. Lands as numerous as sentient beings, immeasurable in number, every wondrous jeweled canopy filling them entirely; he offers them all to a single Tathāgata, and makes offerings to every buddha in exactly the same way. Anointing incense incomparable, most supreme, such as the whole world has never known; with this he makes offerings to the teacher of devas and humans, to the very end of kalpas as numerous as sentient beings.
"Never discriminating the number of kalpas, nor ever growing weary of the offerings he makes" names directly what the whole passage has been building toward — not the sheer scale of the offering, but the absence of any accounting behind it. The bodhisattva is not keeping track of how long this has taken; the verse insists there is no moment where fatigue or tally-keeping enters in.
Part 395 Complete
This continues the tenth dedication's verse recapitulation. Chapter 25 continues in Part 396 as the hymn's meditation on offering continues through powdered and burning incense, jeweled garments, and lamps equal in number to every sentient being, before turning to a closing wish: that the bodhisattva himself swiftly abides in Samantabhadra's own ground.
