Good-Wealth's Body Travels to Ten Buddha-Lands' Worth of Worlds
The instant Bhīṣmottaranirghoṣa touches him, Good-Wealth sees his own body carried to worlds beyond counting, standing before buddha after buddha, understanding every word they speak, and remaining in their presence for spans that stretch from a single night to kalpas this sūtra has no larger name for.
Every Buddha, Every Word Understood
Good-Wealth's vision does not simply show him buddhas from a distance — he sees their lands, their assemblies, their marks, their light; he hears them teach according to what each listener's own mind desires, and understands every single word without any confusion at all.
即時，善財自見其身往十方十佛剎微塵數世界中，到十佛剎微塵數諸佛所，見彼佛剎及其眾會、諸佛相好、種種莊嚴；亦聞彼佛隨諸眾生心之所樂而演說法，一文一句皆悉通達，各別受持無有雜亂；亦知彼佛以種種解淨治諸願；亦知彼佛以清淨願成就諸力；亦見彼佛隨眾生心所現色相；亦見彼佛大光明網，種種諸色清淨圓滿；亦知彼佛無礙智慧大光明力；
At once, Good-Wealth saw his own body traveling to worlds throughout the ten directions, numbering as many as the fine motes of dust in ten buddha-lands, arriving before that same number of buddhas. He saw those buddhas' own lands and their assemblies, the marks and signs of every buddha, and every kind of adornment; he also heard those buddhas expounding the dharma in accordance with what every being's own mind delighted in, and every single word and phrase was entirely understood by him, each one upheld distinctly without any confusion; he also knew how those buddhas purified every vow through every kind of understanding; he also knew how those buddhas accomplished every power through pure vows; he also saw how those buddhas manifested form in accordance with every being's own mind; he also saw those buddhas' own great net of light, its every color pure and complete; and he also knew those buddhas' own unobstructed power of the great light of wisdom.
From a Single Night to Kalpas Beyond Telling
Time itself becomes elastic in this vision — Good-Wealth remains in the presence of these buddhas for spans that climb from a night, to a month, to a year, to ayutas and nayutas of years, to kalpas whose number this sūtra can only gesture toward.
又自見身於諸佛所，經一日夜或七日夜、半月、一月、一年、十年、百年、千年，或經億年，或阿庾多億年，或那由他億年，或經半劫，或經一劫、百劫、千劫，或百千億乃至不可說不可說佛剎微塵數劫。
He further saw his own body, in the presence of those buddhas, passing a day and a night, or seven days and nights, half a month, a month, a year, ten years, a hundred years, a thousand years, or a hundred million years, or an ayuta of hundred millions of years, or a nayuta of hundred millions of years, or half a kalpa, or one kalpa, a hundred kalpas, a thousand kalpas, or a hundred thousand million kalpas, up to kalpas numbering as many as the fine motes of dust in a Turning of the Unspeakably Unspeakable buddha-lands.
經一日夜或七日夜 — passing a day and a night, or seven days and nights. This entire vision unfolds in the instant of a single touch from Bhīṣmottaranirghoṣa's hand — the very next Part reveals Good-Wealth still standing in the same spot, his hand still held, none of these vast spans of time having actually passed at all.
Part 960 Complete
This continues chapter thirty-nine, 入法界品, in fascicle sixty-four. Part 961 turns to five samādhi-lights Good-Wealth attains within this same vision, before Bhīṣmottaranirghoṣa releases his hand and he finds himself back exactly where he started.
