(The Lotus Sutra - Chapter XV Bodhisattvas Emerging from the Earth 6)

Then the Bhagavat, after speaking these verses, addressed Bodhisattva Maitreya, saying: “I will now proclaim it to all of you in this assembly. O Ajita! All of you have never seen these immeasurable, innumerable, incalculable great bodhisattva mahāsattvas who have emerged from out of the earth. Having attained highest, complete enlightenment in this sahā world, I led, inspired, and instructed these bodhisattvas, restrained their thoughts, and caused the thought of the path to awaken in them. When these bodhisattvas lived in the space under the earth of this sahā world, they recited various sutras, became well versed in them, and contemplated, analyzed, and correctly remembered them. 

“O Ajita! All these sons of a virtuous family did not wish to be among the multitude where there is always much discussion. They always wanted to be in quiet places. They diligently strove without resting or relying upon devas or humans. They always desired the profound wisdom without obstructions; they always wanted the Dharma of the buddhas. They strove wholeheartedly in seeking the highest wisdom.” 

At that time the Bhagavat, wanting to elaborate on the meaning of this further, spoke these verses: 

O Ajita! You should know 

That all of these great bodhisattvas 

Have practiced the wisdom of the Buddha 

For innumerable kalpas. 

They have all been inspired by me, 

And the thought of the great path 

Has awakened in them. 

They are my heirs. 

Abiding in this world, 

They always cultivated ascetic practices, 

Wishing to be in quiet places. 

Rejecting the clamor of the multitude, 

They did not want to have much discussion. 

All my heirs such as these 

Constantly practiced my teaching 

With vigor, day and night. 

In order to seek the buddha path 

They lived in the space 

Under the earth of this sahā world. 

They were firm in recollection, 

And they always diligently sought wisdom. 

Explaining various subtle teachings 

Their minds were free from fear. 

Sitting under the bodhi tree 

In the city of Gayā, 

I attained highest, complete enlightenment, 

And turned the wheel of the highest Dharma. 

I then led and inspired them 

So that the thought of the path 

Awakened in them for the first time. 

All of them are now at the stage of nonretrogression, 

And will certainly become buddhas with no residue. 

I now teach the truth. 

You should wholeheartedly believe that 

From long, long ago I have been 

Leading and inspiring all these bodhisattvas

Then the Buddha Śākyamuni addressed Bodhisattva Maitreya, saying: “Splendid, splendid, O Ajita! You have asked the Buddha an important question. You should all singlemindedly don the armor of perseverance and be of firm will. The Tathāgata now wants to reveal the wisdom of the buddhas, the inherent transcendent powers of the buddhas, the lionlike dignified power of the buddhas, the majestic and mighty power of the buddhas.”

Thereupon the Bhagavat, wanting to elaborate on the meaning of this further, spoke these verses: 

You should be persistent 

And wholeheartedly attentive, 

For I want to explain it to you. 

Do not have any doubts, for the wisdom 

Of the Buddha is difficult to comprehend! 

You should now awaken the power of faith, 

And with perseverance abide in the good.

Now you will all be able to hear 

What you have never heard before.

I will now put you at ease. 

Have no doubts or fear! 

The Buddha never speaks false words. 

His wisdom is immeasurable. 

The foremost Dharma that he has attained 

Is profound and difficult to explain. 

I will now expound this difficult teaching, 

So you should listen wholeheartedly.

Thereupon the buddhas who were the magically created forms of Śākyamuni Buddha arrived from other incalculable thousands of myriads of koṭis of lands and sat cross-legged on lion seats under the jeweled trees in the eight directions. Each attendant of these buddhas had seen the great assembly of bodhisattvas as they emerged from out of the earth and floated in midair in the four directions of the great manifold cosmos. Each of them addressed his Buddha, saying: “O Bhagavat! Where has this great assembly of immeasurable, limitless, incalculable bodhisattvas come from?” 

Then the buddhas answered their attendants, saying: “O sons of a virtuous family! Wait a moment! There is a bodhisattva mahāsattva called Maitreya, who has received a prediction from the Buddha Śākyamuni that he will become a buddha after Śākyamuni in the future. Since he has already asked about this, the Buddha will now answer him. You shall be able to hear the reason yourselves.”

At that time the Bhagavat praised the foremost of the great bodhisattvas, saying: “Splendid, splendid, O sons of virtuous family! Thoughts of joy regarding the Tathāgata have awakened in you.” 

Then Bodhisattva Maitreya and the assembly of bodhisattvas equal in number to the sands of eight thousand Ganges Rivers thought this: Looking far into the past, we have never seen or heard of such an assembly of great bodhisattva mahāsattvas, who have now emerged from the earth and are standing before the Bhagavat with their palms pressed together in reverence, asking the Tathāgata questions. 

Then Bodhisattva Mahāsattva Maitreya, knowing the minds of the bodhisattvas whose number was equal to the sands of eight thousand Ganges Rivers, and wanting to clear up their confusion, faced the Buddha with the palms of his hands pressed together and addressed him in verse, saying:

We have never seen such a great assembly 

Of incalculable thousands of myriads of koṭis 

Of bodhisattvas before. We entreat you, 

O Best of Humans, 

To explain it to us! 

Where have they come from? 

For what reason have they gathered here? 

They look magnificent 

And have great transcendent powers. 

Their wisdom is beyond our comprehension. 

They are firm in their resolve, 

Have the power of great perseverance, 

And an appearance that sentient beings 

Desire to see. 

Where have they come from? 

Each of these bodhisattvas is leading 

A retinue whose number is incalculable, 

Like the sands of the Ganges River. 

Some great bodhisattvas are leading retinues 

Equal in number to the sands 

Of sixty thousand Ganges Rivers. 

Great are the assemblies, 

Singlemindedly seeking the buddha path. 

These great leaders, equal in number 

To the sands of sixty thousand Ganges Rivers, 

Have come all together to pay homage to the Buddha 

And preserve this sutra. 

The number of bodhisattvas leading retinues 

Equal in number to the sands of fifty thousand

Ganges Rivers is even greater; 

And the number of bodhisattvas who lead retinues 

Equal in number to the sands of forty thousand, 

Thirty thousand, twenty thousand, ten thousand, 

One thousand, one hundred, even one, one half, 

One third, one fourth, one myriadth of a koṭi 

Of the sands of a Ganges River exceeds even these. 

There are disciples who number 

Thousands of myriads of nayutas, 

Myriads of koṭis, or even half a koṭi. 

Their numbers also exceed that mentioned above. 

There are also disciples in retinues 

Of one million, ten thousand, 

One thousand, one hundred, fifty, ten, 

Even three, two, or one in number. 

There are also great bodhisattvas 

Who have come without retinues, 

Desiring to be in solitude. 

The number of those 

Who have come before the Buddha 

Is far beyond any calculation. 

If anyone counted the number of such a great assembly 

With bamboo counting-sticks, he would not finish 

Even after exhausting kalpas greater in number 

Than the sands of the Ganges River. 

Who has taught the Dharma 

To this assembly of bodhisattvas, 

Endowed with great dignity and perseverance? 

Who has inspired and perfected them? 

Under whom did the thought of enlightenment 

First awaken in them? 

Which Buddha-Dharma do they praise? 

Whose sutra have they preserved and practiced? 

And which buddha path have they followed? 

Such bodhisattvas as these, 

Endowed with transcendent powers 

And the power of great wisdom, 

Have all emerged out of the earth, 

Which quaked in the four directions 

And split asunder. 

O Bhagavat! We have never seen 

Such a thing before. 

We entreat you to tell us the name 

Of the land from where they have come. 

We have been constantly traveling 

In various regions, 

Nevertheless we have never seen 

Such a thing before. 

We do not know even a single person 

In this assembly.

All of a sudden 

They have emerged from the earth. 

We entreat you to explain the reason why. 

All of the immeasurable hundreds of thousands 

Of koṭis of bodhisattvas in this great assembly 

Now wish to know about this matter. 

There must be underlying causes for this, 

To explain all of these bodhisattvas. 

O Bhagavat, He of Immeasurable Qualities! 

We entreat you to clear up 

The confusion of the assembly!

At that time the Bhagavat spoke to the great assembly of bodhisattvas, saying: “It is exactly like this, O sons of a virtuous family! It is exactly so! The Tathāgata is at ease and without illness or pain. It is easy to save sentient beings, and I am not fatigued. Why is this? Because sentient beings have continually received my guidance throughout many lives, and they have also planted roots of good merit by revering and honoring the buddhas of the past. “When these sentient beings first saw me and heard my teaching, all, except for those who had previously practiced and studied the inferior vehicle, immediately believed and accepted it and entered the Tathāgata’s wisdom. Now I enable even such people as these to listen to this sutra and enter the Buddha’s wisdom.” 

Then the great bodhisattvas spoke these verses: 

Splendid, splendid! 

O Bhagavat, 

Great Hero! 

All the sentient beings 

Can easily be brought to the path. 

They can ask about 

The profound wisdom of the buddhas. 

Hearing about it, they trust and accept it. 

We rejoice about this.

(The Lotus Sutra - Chapter XV Bodhisattvas Emerging from the Earth 1)

At that time the bodhisattva mahāsattvas, who had arrived from other lands and whose number exceeded that of the sands of eight Ganges Rivers, stood up in the great assembly, bowed with their palms pressed together, and then spoke to the Buddha, saying: “O Bhagavat! If you give us permission to diligently strive to preserve, recite, copy and pay homage to this [Lotus] Sutra after the parinirvāṇa of the Buddha in this sahā world, then we will extensively teach it in this land.” 

Then the Buddha addressed the assembly of bodhisattva mahāsattvas, saying: “Enough, O sons of a virtuous family! There is no need for you to preserve this sutra. Why is this? In my sahā world there are bodhisattva mahāsattvas, equal to the sands of sixty thousand Ganges Rivers in number; and each of these bodhisattvas, in turn, has a retinue equal to the sands of sixty thousand Ganges Rivers. After my parinirvāṇa they can preserve, recite, and extensively teach this sutra.” 

When the Buddha said this all the lands of the great manifold cosmos in the sahā world quaked and the earth split. From out of this crevice there simultaneously appeared incalculable thousands of myriads of koṭis of bodhisattva mahāsattvas. All of these bodhisattvas had golden bodies endowed with the thirty-two marks and radiating immeasurable rays of light. They had all previously been living in the space under the earth of the sahā world. Having heard the sound of Śākyamuni’s teaching, all of these bodhisattvas emerged from below. Each of those bodhisattvas presided over a great assembly and each led a retinue equal to the sands of sixty thousand Ganges Rivers in number. How much more numerous were the bodhisattvas who emerged leading retinues equal in number to the sands of fifty thousand, forty thousand, thirty thousand, twenty thousand, or ten thousand Ganges Rivers! How much more numerous were the bodhisattvas who emerged leading retinues even equal to the sands of one Ganges River, half a Ganges River, a quarter of a Ganges River, or even just one thousandth of a myriad of a koṭi of a nayuta of the sands of a Ganges River! How many more retinues were there numbering thousands of myriads of koṭis of nayutas! How many more retinues were there numbering myriads of koṭis! How many more were those numbering ten million, one million, or even ten thousand! How many more were those numbering one thousand, one hundred, or even ten! How much more numerous were bodhisattvas leading disciples numbering five, four, three, two, or even one! And how many more bodhisattvas were there who had eagerly practiced alone and far from the worldly life! The number of such bodhisattvas as these is incalculable and limitless, beyond all calculation and metaphor. 

Having emerged from the earth, each of these bodhisattvas approached the Tathāgatas Prabhūtaratna and Śākyamuni, still seated in the beautiful seven-jeweled stupa in the air. Going up to them, they bowed until their foreheads touched the feet of both Bhagavats. Then, having bowed to the other buddhas, each sitting on a lion seat under the jeweled trees, they circumambulated them to the right three times, honoring them with their palms pressed together. Having praised them with various bodhisattva eulogies, they withdrew to one side and joyfully gazed at the two Bhagavats. All these bodhisattva mahāsattvas, having emerged from the earth, praised the buddhas with various bodhisattva eulogies. While they did, fifty intermediate kalpas passed. During this time the Buddha Śākyamuni sat in silence; and the fourfold assemblies were also silent while the fifty intermediate kalpas passed. Because of the Buddha’s transcendent powers, the great assemblies believed that the time that had passed was only half a day. 

Then, through the transcendent powers of the Buddha, the fourfold assemblies also saw the bodhisattvas filling the air throughout immeasurable hundreds of thousands of myriads of koṭis of lands. There were four leaders among those bodhisattvas gathered there. They were called Viśiṣṭacāritra, Anantacāritra, Viśuddhacāritra, and Supratiṣṭhitacāritra. These four bodhisattvas were the foremost leaders in the assembly. At the head of the great assembly, they each pressed their palms together, gazed at Śākyamuni Buddha, and inquired of him, saying: “O Bhagavat! Are you without illness or pain? Are you at ease in practice or not? Do those who should be saved accept your teaching easily or not? Do they not make you weary, O Bhagavat?” 

Thereupon the four great bodhisattvas spoke these verses: 

O Bhagavat! Are you at ease? 

Are you without illness or pain? 

Are you fatigued with leading 

And inspiring sentient beings? 

Do the sentient beings accept 

Your guidance easily or not? 

Do they not tire the Bhagavat?

(妙法蓮華經第十五品 安樂行之1)

爾時他方國土諸來菩薩摩訶薩。過八恒河沙數。於大眾中起立合掌作禮。而白佛言。世尊。若聽我等於佛滅後在此娑婆世界懃加精進護持讀誦書寫供養是經典者。當於此土而廣說之。爾時佛告諸菩薩摩訶薩眾。止善男子。不須汝等護持此經。所以者何。我娑婆世界。自有六萬恒河沙等菩薩摩訶薩。一一菩薩各有六萬恒河沙眷屬。是諸人等能於我滅後。護持讀誦廣說此經。佛說是時。娑婆世界三千大千國土地皆震裂。而於其中有無量千萬億菩薩摩訶薩同時踊出。是諸菩薩身皆金色。三十二相無量光明。先盡在此娑婆世界之下。此界虛空中住。是諸菩薩聞釋迦牟尼佛所說音聲從下發來。一一菩薩。皆是大眾唱導之首。各將六萬恒河沙眷屬。況將五萬四萬三萬二萬一萬恒河沙等眷屬者。況復乃至一恒河沙半恒河沙四分之一。乃至千萬億那由他分之一。況復千萬億那由他眷屬。況復億萬眷屬。況復千萬百萬乃至一萬。況復一千一百乃至一十。況復將五四三二一弟子者。況復單己樂遠離行。如是等比。無量無邊算數譬喻所不能知。是諸菩薩從地出已。各詣虛空七寶妙塔多寶如來釋迦牟尼佛所。到已向二世尊頭面禮足。及至諸寶樹下師子座上佛所。亦皆作禮右繞三匝合掌恭敬。以諸菩薩種種讚法。而以讚歎住在一面。欣樂瞻仰於二世尊。是諸菩薩摩訶薩從初踊出。以諸菩薩種種讚法而讚於佛。如是時間經五十小劫。是時釋迦牟尼佛默然而坐。及諸四眾亦皆默然。五十小劫。佛神力故。令諸大眾謂如半日。爾時四眾亦以佛神力故。見諸菩薩遍滿無量百千萬億國土虛空。是菩薩眾中有四導師。一名上行。二名無邊行。三名淨行。四名安立行。是四菩薩於其眾中。最為上首唱導之師。在大眾前各共合掌。觀釋迦牟尼佛。而問訊言。 世尊。少病少惱安樂行不。所應度者受教易不。不令世尊生疲勞耶。爾時四大菩薩。而說偈言。

　世尊安樂　　少病少惱　　教化眾生

　得無疲惓　　又諸眾生　　受化易不

　不令世尊　　生疲勞耶

(The Lotus Sutra - Chapter XIV Ease in Practice 10)

At that time the Bhagavat, wanting to elaborate on the meaning of this further, spoke these verses: 

Always practice patience 

And be compassionate toward all, 

Since only then can one expound

A sutra praised by the Buddha! 

In the future those who preserve this sutra 

Should be compassionate and kind toward 

Lay Buddhists, renunciants, and non-bodhisattvas, 

Saying: Those who have not heard this sutra 

Or who do not believe in it 

Have consequently lost a great opportunity. 

When I attain the buddha path 

I will expound this teaching 

Through various skillful means 

And enable them to abide in it. 

Suppose there was a powerful, noble emperor 

Who bestows upon those soldiers meritorious in battle 

Various gifts of elephants, horses, chariots, conveyances, 

Ornaments, estates, villages, cities, garments, 

Various treasures, servants, and wealth. 

He gives these gifts with joy. 

If there is anyone who has been brave 

And has performed difficult deeds, 

The noble emperor gives 

The precious jewel in his topknot. 

The Tathāgata is exactly like this. 

He is the emperor of all the teachings. 

Out of his great compassion, 

And through his treasury of wisdom 

And great power of patience, 

He inspires the world according to the Dharma. 

Seeing all the sentient beings suffering, 

Seeking liberation 

And doing battle with the māras, 

He explains various teachings for the beings 

And teaches various sutras 

With his great skillful means. 

Knowing that the sentient beings have 

Finally attained the power to understand, 

He teaches this Lotus Sutra only at the very end, 

Just like the noble emperor 

Who gave the jewel in his topknot. 

This sutra is the utmost, 

Superior to all the sutras. 

I have constantly preserved it 

And have not revealed it indiscriminately. 

Now is the right time to teach it to you. 

After my parinirvāṇa 

Those seeking the buddha path, 

Who want to attain ease and expound this sutra, 

Should become familiar with these four spheres 

Of the teaching concerning ease in practice. 

Those who recite this sutra will always 

Be free from anxiety and illness, 

And will have a noble countenance. 

They will not be born into poverty, 

Lowliness or ugliness. 

Sentient beings will want to meet them 

Just as they long to meet a wise seer, 

And all of the devaputras will serve them. 

Sticks and swords cannot hurt them, 

And poison cannot harm them. 

If people slander them 

Those slanderers’ mouths will be sealed up. 

They will travel fearlessly Like a lion king, and 

The light of their wisdom 

Will illuminate just like the sun. 

If they dream they see only subtle things. 

They see the Tathāgatas seated on lion seats, 

Teaching the Dharma to the assembly 

Of monks surrounding them. 

They see nāgas and asuras, 

As numerous as the sands of the Ganges River, 

Honoring the Tathāgatas 

With their palms pressed together. 

Revealing themselves, 

They teach the Dharma to these beings.

They also see the buddhas, with golden bodies, 

Emitting immeasurable rays of light 

Which illuminate universally, 

And expounding various teachings 

With beautiful voices like Brahma’s. 

To the fourfold assembly 

The Buddha teaches the highest Dharma. 

Revealing themselves among them, 

They praise the Buddha 

With palms pressed together. 

Hearing the Dharma they rejoice 

And pay homage to the Buddha. 

They attain the power of recollection 

And achieve the wisdom of nonretrogression. 

The Buddha, knowing their minds, 

And that they have deeply entered the buddha path, 

Gives them a prediction of the highest, 

Complete enlightenment, saying: 

O son of a virtuous family! 

In the future you will attain immeasurable 

Wisdom and the great path of the Buddha. 

Your land will be pure and vast, 

Beyond all comparison. 

The fourfold assembly will also be there 

Listening to the Dharma with their palms

Pressed together. 

They who recite this sutra also see themselves 

In mountain forests, practicing excellent teachings, 

Experiencing the real aspect, 

Deeply entering into concentration, 

And looking at the buddhas in the ten directions, 

All of whom have golden bodies 

Adorned with a hundred auspicious marks. 

They will always have such pleasant dreams 

And, hearing the Dharma taught, 

They will teach it to others. 

They will also dream about becoming 

The king of a realm who abandons his palace 

And retinue, and the highly pleasing 

Desires of the five senses, 

Approaches the terrace of enlightenment, 

Sits on the lion seat under the bodhi tree, 

Attains the wisdom of all the buddhas 

After seeking the path for seven days, 

And who, arising, turns the wheel of the Dharma 

After having attained the highest path. 

They will teach the Dharma to the fourfold assembly 

For thousands of myriads of koṭis of kalpas. 

Explaining the true and incorruptible Dharma, 

They will save innumerable sentient beings. 

Later they will enter nirvana 

Just as smoke dies away 

When the flame of a candle is extinguished.

If anyone in the troubled world to come 

Teaches this highest Dharma 

They will attain great benefits 

Like the merits mentioned above.

(The Lotus Sutra - Chapter XIV Ease in Practice 9)

“O Mañjuśrī! Suppose a very powerful noble emperor wanted to subdue other countries with his might, but the lesser kings would not obey his command. In such a case the noble emperor gathers an army together to overcome them. He recognizes the soldiers who have committed brave deeds in war and, greatly rejoicing, he bestows boons according to their merit, such as estates, villages, cities, garments, ornaments, various treasures, gold, silver, lapis lazuli, mother-of-pearl, agate, coral, amber, elephants, horses, chariots, servants, and subjects, but he never gives them the precious jewel in his topknot. Why is this? Because only the noble emperor has this precious jewel in his topknot. If the emperor gives it away his attendants would certainly be very surprised and mistrustful. 

“O Mañjuśrī! The Tathāgata is exactly like this. He has attained the land of the Dharma through his powers of concentration and wisdom. Thus he has become the king of the triple world. Since the māra kings will not obey him, the wise and noble generals of the Tathāgata come to do battle with them. The Tathāgata rejoices at the meritorious ones and teaches various sutras to the fourfold assembly, gladdening them. He bestows upon them the property of all the teachings about concentrations, liberations, faculties without corruption, and powers. He also bestows upon them the city of nirvana. Saying that they have attained nirvana, he leads their minds onward and gladdens them all. And yet he does not teach them the Lotus Sutra. 

“O Mañjuśrī! It is just as if the noble emperor finally gives the jewel that has been long concealed in his topknot. Although he perceived the great merit of those soldiers and was deeply pleased, he did not rashly give them the marvelous jewel. The Tathāgata is also exactly like this. Since he is the great King of the Dharma in the triple world he inspires all the sentient beings through the Dharma. When he sees the wise and noble soldiers who have done battle with the māra of the five aggregates, the māra of desires, and the māra of death, who have great merit in battle, and have extinguished the three poisons, left the triple world, and broken out of Māra’s net, he then rejoices greatly. He now teaches the Lotus Sutra, which is treated with hostility by the entire world and is difficult to believe in, and which he has never taught before, and enables sentient beings to attain omniscience. 

“O Mañjuśrī! This Lotus Sutra is the ultimate teaching of all the Tathāgatas, the most profound among all the teachings, and conferred at the very end. It was in the same way that the very powerful and noble emperor gave the jewel after having preserved it for a long time. 

“O Mañjuśrī! This Lotus Sutra is the secret treasure house of all the Buddha Tathāgatas, and the foremost among all the sutras. The Buddha has preserved it for a long time and he has not taught it indiscriminately. Now, for the first time he teaches it.”

(妙法蓮華經第十四品 安樂行之9)

文殊師利。譬如強力轉輪聖王。欲以威勢降伏諸國。 而諸小王不順其命。時轉輪王。起種種兵而往討罰。王見兵眾戰有功者。即大歡喜隨功賞賜。或與田宅聚落城邑。或與衣服嚴身之具。或與種種珍寶金銀琉璃車磲馬腦珊瑚虎珀象馬車乘奴婢人民。唯髻中明珠不以與之。所以者何。獨王頂上有此一珠。若以與之。王諸眷屬必大驚怪。文殊師利。如來亦復如是。以禪定智慧力得法國土。王於三界。而諸魔王不肯順伏。如來賢聖諸將與之共戰。其有功者心亦歡喜。於四眾中為說諸經令其心悅。賜以禪定解脫無漏根力諸法之財。又復賜與涅槃之城言得滅度。引導其心令皆歡喜。而不為說是法華經。文殊師利。如轉輪王見諸兵眾有大功者心甚歡喜。以此難信之珠久在髻中。 不妄與人。而今與之。如來亦復如是。於三界中為大法王。以法教化一切眾生。見賢聖軍與五陰魔煩惱魔死魔共戰有大功勳。滅三毒出三界破魔網。爾時如來亦大歡喜。此法華經。能令眾生至一切智。一切世間多怨難信。先所未說而今說之。文殊師利。此法華經。是諸如來第一之說。於諸說中最為甚深。末後賜與。如彼強力之王。久護明珠今乃與之。文殊師利。此法華經。諸佛如來祕密之藏。於諸經中最在其上。長夜守護不妄宣說。始於今日。乃與汝等而敷演之。
