(The Lotus Sutra - Chapter I Introduction 7)
Thereupon Mañjuśrī, wanting to explain the meaning of this further, spoke to the great assembly in verse:
I remember that in the past, 
Innumerable incalculable kalpas ago, 
There was a buddha, the Best of Humans, 
Called Candrasūryapradīpa. 
This Bhagavat taught the Dharma,
Leading and inspiring innumerable sentient beings
And incalculable numbers of bodhisattvas, 
To attain the wisdom of the buddhas. 
Before renouncing household life 
The Buddha fathered eight princes. 
Having seen the Great Sage 
Renounce household life, 
They also followed him 
And practiced the pure path of discipline and integrity. 
At that time the Buddha taught 
And extensively illuminated the Mahayana sutra 
Called Immeasurable Meanings 
To the great assembly. 
After having taught this sutra, 
The Buddha sat down cross-legged 
On the seat of Dharma and entered the samādhi 
Called the “abode of immeasurable meanings.” 
The heavenly māndārava flowers 
Fell down like rain; 
The heavenly drums resounded spontaneously. 
All the devas, nāgas, and yakṣas 
Paid homage to the Best of Humans.
All of the buddha worlds suddenly quaked greatly. 
And the Buddha emitted a ray of light 
From the tuft between his eyebrows 
And manifested various marvels. 
This ray of light illuminated 
The eighteen thousand buddha worlds in the east 
And revealed the conditions 
Resulting from the karma of each sentient being. 
Through this light of the Buddha 
All the buddha worlds appeared 
As if they were decorated with various jewels 
Such as lapis lazuli or crystal.
All the devas, humans, nāgas, 
Yakṣas, gandharvas, and kiṃnaras
Were each seen paying homage to the buddhas. 
All the Tathāgatas, who had spontaneously attained 
The path of the buddhas, 
Looked majestic and very beautiful 
With bodies like golden mountains. 
Each Bhagavat appeared like a golden image 
In the midst of lapis lazuli, 
Expounding the meaning 
Of the profound Dharma to the great assembly. 
There were innumerable śrāvakas 
In each of the buddha worlds,
And they saw all the great assemblies 
Because of the light of the Buddha. 
There were also monks 
Living in mountain forests, 
Who, through persistence, possessed purity of conduct, 
Which they protected like a precious jewel.
There were bodhisattvas, 
As numerous as the sands of the Ganges River, 
Practicing by giving (dāna), perseverance (kṣānti), and so on (i.e., the six perfections), 
Who also became visible through the light of the Buddha. 
There were bodhisattvas, who, 
Having entered deep samādhi, 
Were tranquil and undisturbed in body and mind, 
And who were seen seeking for the highest path. 
There were also bodhisattvas, 
Who, knowing the tranquil character of the Dharma, 
Were seen teaching the Dharma 
And seeking the path of the buddhas
In each of the buddha worlds. 
At that time the fourfold assembly, 
Having seen the Buddha Candrasūryapradīpa 
Manifest these great transcendent powers, 
Became delighted, and asked each other 
What the reason for this could be. 
The Noble One, revered by devas and humans, 
Then emerged from samādhi and 
Praised Bodhisattva Varaprabha, saying:
You are the Eye of the World. 
You are believed in by all and 
Possess the treasure house of the Dharma. 
You are the only one who can understand 
The Dharma that I have taught! 
The Bhagavat praised Varaprabha, delighting him, 
And taught this Lotus Sutra 
For the full period of sixty intermediate kalpas 
Without rising from his seat. 
This expounder of the Dharma, Varaprabha, 
Firmly and completely 
Preserved this most excellent Dharma 
That was taught by the Buddha. 
After having taught this Lotus Sutra 
And having then gladdened the assembly 
On that very day, 
The Buddha told the assembly of devas and humans: 
I have already taught you the meaning 
Of the essential character of all dharmas. 
Today I will enter nirvana In the middle of the night. 
Exert yourselves attentively 
And rid yourselves of negligence! 
The buddhas are extremely hard to meet 
And can be encountered only once In koṭis of kalpas! 
All the sons of the Bhagavat, 
On hearing that the Buddha was to enter nirvana, 
Became sad, thinking: 
Why will the Buddha enter nirvana so soon? 
The Noble Lord, the King of the Dharma, 
Consoled the innumerable beings saying: 
Do not fear after I enter nirvana!
This Bodhisattva Śrīgarbha has fully realized 
The true character of freedom from corruption 
And after me he will become 
A buddha named Vimalāṅganetra.
 And then he will bring Innumerable sentient beings to the path. 
And that night the Buddha entered nirvana,
Like a fire that goes out when the wood is exhausted. 
His relics were distributed 
And innumerable stupas were built. 
There were monks and nuns, 
As numerous as the sands of the Ganges River, 
Who increased their efforts 
And sought for the highest path. 
This expounder of the Dharma, Varaprabha, 
Possessed of the treasure house of the Buddha, 
Extensively proclaimed the Lotus Sutra
For eighty intermediate kalpas. 
All of the eight princes 
Led and inspired by Varaprabha, 
Became firmly established 
In the highest path, 
And met innumerable buddhas. 
After having paid homage to the buddhas 
And following them in their practice of the great path, 
They all in turn received their predictions, 
Becoming buddhas in succession. 
The last Buddha, the Highest of Devas, 
Was called Dīpaṃkara, 
And, as the leader of all the sages, 
Had brought innumerable sentient beings to the path. 
This expounder of the Dharma, Varaprabha, 
Had one disciple who was lazy
And attached to fame and fortune. 
This disciple ceaselessly sought these things 
And amused himself from house to house. 
He abandoned recitation of the sutras, 
And, forgetting them,
Never became versed in them. 
For this very reason he was named Yaśaskāma. 
But since he had also performed many good deeds,
He was able to meet innumerable buddhas. 
He paid homage to all these buddhas 
And having practiced the great path after them, 
Acquired all the six perfections and 
Now meets the Lion of the Śākyas. 
He shall subsequently become a buddha called Maitreya 
Who will extensively bring Innumerable sentient beings to the path. 
After the parinirvāṇa of that Buddha Candrasūryapradīpa, 
The lazy one was none other than you; 
And the expounder of the Dharma, Varaprabha, 
Was no one but myself. 
When I saw the Buddha Dīpaṃkara 
He also revealed this marvel of light. 
That is why I know that this buddha 
Will now teach the Lotus Sutra. 
This sign is just like the previous marvel.
It is the skillful means of all the buddhas. 
The Buddha has now emitted this ray of light In order to reveal 
The essential character of dharmas. 
Now it should be clear to everyone. 
Wait attentively with palms pressed together! 
Having rained the Dharma, 
The Buddha will satisfy those seeking the path. 
If there is anyone seeking the three vehicles 
Who still has any doubts, 
The Buddha will completely remove them, 
Extinguishing them with none left over.
(妙法蓮華經第一品 序之7)  
爾時文殊師利。於大眾中。欲重宣此義。而說偈言。
    我念過去世  無量無數劫
 有佛人中尊  號日月燈明
 世尊演說法  度無量眾生
 無數億菩薩  令入佛智慧
 佛未出家時  所生八王子
 見大聖出家  亦隨修梵行
 時佛說大乘  經名無量義
 於諸大眾中  而為廣分別
 佛說此經已  即於法座上
 加趺坐三昧  名無量義處
 天雨曼陀華  天鼓自然鳴
 諸天龍鬼神  供養人中尊
 一切諸佛土  即時大震動
 佛放眉間光  現諸希有事
 此光照東方  萬八千佛土
 示一切眾生  生死業報處
 有見諸佛土  以眾寶莊嚴
 琉璃頗梨色  斯由佛光照
 及見諸天人  龍神夜叉眾
 乾闥緊那羅  各供養其佛
 又見諸如來  自然成佛道
 身色如金山  端嚴甚微妙
 如淨琉璃中  內現真金像
 世尊在大眾  敷演深法義
 一一諸佛土  聲聞眾無數
 因佛光所照  悉見彼大眾
 或有諸比丘  在於山林中
 精進持淨戒  猶如護明珠
 又見諸菩薩  行施忍辱等
 其數如恒沙  斯由佛光照
 又見諸菩薩  深入諸禪定
 身心寂不動  以求無上道
 又見諸菩薩  知法寂滅相
 各於其國土  說法求佛道
 爾時四部眾  見日月燈佛
 現大神通力  其心皆歡喜
 各各自相問  是事何因緣
 天人所奉尊  適從三昧起
 讚妙光菩薩  汝為世間眼
 一切所歸信  能奉持法藏
 如我所說法  唯汝能證知
 世尊既讚歎  令妙光歡喜
 說是法華經  滿六十小劫
 不起於此座  所說上妙法
 是妙光法師  悉皆能受持
 佛說是法華  令眾歡喜已
 尋即於是日  告於天人眾
 諸法實相義  已為汝等說
 我今於中夜  當入於涅槃
 汝一心精進  當離於放逸
 諸佛甚難值  億劫時一遇
 世尊諸子等  聞佛入涅槃
 各各懷悲惱  佛滅一何速
 聖主法之王  安慰無量眾
 我若滅度時  汝等勿憂怖
 是德藏菩薩  於無漏實相
 心已得通達  其次當作佛
 號曰為淨身  亦度無量眾
 佛此夜滅度  如薪盡火滅
 分布諸舍利  而起無量塔
    比丘比丘尼  其數如恒沙
 倍復加精進  以求無上道
 是妙光法師  奉持佛法藏
 八十小劫中  廣宣法華經
 是諸八王子  妙光所開化
 堅固無上道  當見無數佛
 供養諸佛已  隨順行大道
 相繼得成佛  轉次而授記
 最後天中天  號曰燃燈佛
 諸仙之導師  度脫無量眾
 是妙光法師  時有一弟子
 心常懷懈怠  貪著於名利
 求名利無厭  多遊族姓家
 棄捨所習誦  廢忘不通利
 以是因緣故  號之為求名
 亦行眾善業  得見無數佛
 供養於諸佛  隨順行大道
 具六波羅蜜  今見釋師子
 其後當作佛  號名曰彌勒
 廣度諸眾生  其數無有量
 彼佛滅度後  懈怠者汝是
 妙光法師者  今則我身是
 我見燈明佛  本光瑞如此
 以是知今佛  欲說法華經
 今相如本瑞  是諸佛方便
 今佛放光明  助發實相義
 諸人今當知  合掌一心待
 佛當雨法雨  充足求道者
 諸求三乘人  若有疑悔者
 佛當為除斷  令盡無有餘
