La grande assemblea
Così io ho udito
Una volta il Buddha si trovava sul monte Gridhrakuta nei pressi di Rajagriha. Era accompagnato da una moltitudine di dodicimila eccellenti monaci, tutti arhat che avevano sradicato ogni illusione e non avevano più alcun desiderio terreno. Avevano ottenuto ciò che andava a loro vantaggio e posto fine ai legami dell’esistenza e avevano conseguito la libertà della mente.
C’erano, tra gli altri, Makassiapa, Rahoula, Shariputra, Mogallana, Anirudda, Nanda e Ananda. C’erano inoltre Mahaprajapati e le sue seimila seguaci e Yashodara.
C’erano inoltre moltissimi bodhisattva, c’erano i figli del cielo, gli otto re draghi, i quattro re Kimnara, i quattro re ghandarva, i quattro re garuda e i quattro re asura.
C’erano inoltre Manjusri, Avalokitesvara e Maitreya.
L’onorato del mondo venne lodato e ricevette offerte e segni di rispetto. E per il bene dei bodhisattva espose il sutra del grande veicolo intitolato “Innumerevoli significati” (o anche “Grande esposizione”), una legge per istruire i Bodhisattva, custodita nel cuore dei Buddha.
Allorché il Buddha ebbe terminato di predicare questo sutra si sedette con le gambe incrociate nella posizione del loto ed entrò nella samadhi, immoto nel corpo e nella mente. Allora piovvero dal cielo fiori di Mandarava, di Manjushaka che si sparsero sopra il Buddha e la grande assemblea; in ogni luogo il mondo di Buddha si scosse tremando in sei modi diversi.
Allora tutti coloro che erano riuniti nell’assemblea, avendo ottenuto ciò che non avevano mai conosciuto, gioirono profondamente, congiunsero le mani devotamente e guardarono il Buddha.
Allora il Buddha emise un raggio di luce dalla ciocca di candidi capelli sopra le sue sopracciglia, illuminando diciottomila mondi verso oriente. Non vi era luogo che la sua luce non penetrasse, in basso fino Avici hell, and up to the sky Akanishatha.
From this world could be seen in all other lands living beings of the six paths. Likewise, you could see the Buddha found in those other lands and hear the teachings of the Buddha was explaining that those sutras. At the same time you could see the monks and nuns, and lay people who had completed the religious practices and had reached the street. And you could also see that the great being and Bodhisattva as a result of various causes and conditions and various types of faith and understanding, in various forms and aspects were completing the bodhisattva path. And you could also see the Buddha entered the paranirvana and see the towers adorned with the seven treasures erected for the spoils after entering paranirvana.
.
The great wonder and the question of Maitreya.
the bodhisattva Maitreya was this thought:
"Now the world has experienced the honor of these miraculous signs. But that is the cause of these portentous omens? I have to inform me of this fact. Who can I query on this matter? Who can give me an answer? "
Then he thought:
" Here lies the Prince Manjushri, son of a king of dharma, which has already personally witnessed and made offers to an immeasurable number of Buddha in the past. Certainly must have seen these rare predictions in the past and will know meaning. Now I ask of him. "
Seeing that even the monks, nuns, lay people, the secular, heavenly beings, dragons, spirits, and all the others had the same thought, Maitreya Manjushri asked, saying
" Manjushri, what is the cause of such portentous omens? Of these signs of supernatural powers, this issue of a large bright beam that illuminates the eighteen thousand eastern lands and allows us to see in those places all the majestic Buddha? Manjushri, why all this light coming from the master? We can see the Buddha preach and explain the sutras, each in their own world preaching the law correct, and using various devices introduced the law of Buddha guidando all’illuminazione gli esseri viventi. Se una persona è angosciata e detesta la morte la malattia e la vecchiaia i Buddha predicano il Nirvana spiegando come possa por fine ad ogni pena. Se una persona ha la fortuna di aver fatto offerte ai Buddha ed è decisa a cercare una legge superiore i Buddha espongono la via del pratyekabuddha. Se vi sono i figli del Buddha che si dedicano a varie pratiche religiose ricercando l’insuperata saggezza i buddha predicano la vie della purezza. Manjushri, vedo in queste terre Bodhisattva numerosi come le sabbie del Gange che ricercano la via del Buddha. Alcuni offrono elemosine, oro, corallo, argento, perle, gioielli, conchiglie, agate, diamanti e altre rarità, servi e serve, carrozze e palanchini jeweled. Hold out pleased to offer these gifts in the way of the Buddha, desiring to obtain the supreme vehicle in the triple world, praised by the Buddha. Or I see bodhisattvas who have cars with jeweled pair with double sides and a flower heads adorn the sides and roof. Manjushri, I see're going to visit the site of the Buddha on the road to question him supreme. Happy to leave their lands, buildings, the maids, orderlies and shave his beard and hair and wear the clothes of the dharma. Or I see bodhisattvas become monks live in solitude and quiet that you delight to recite the sutra. Still, I see bodhisattvas who practice with courage and diligence, that penetrate deep in the mountains with your mind on the path of Buddha, I want to get away from them, to dwell constantly in the air, and quiet dive in deep meditation until the five supernatural powers, absorbed in meditation and see Bodhisattva joined hands with thousands of verses praising the king of the doctrines. I see the sons of the Buddha in meditation is experienced in both the wisdom that use many similarities to expose the law to which joyfully preach the law converting the Bodhisattva, who defeated the legions of demons beating the drum of the dharma. And I see bodhisattvas who live in forests and give off light, save those who suffer in hell making access to the path of Buddha. I see the sons of Buddha who never fall asleep longing to stray through the forest looking for with diligence the path of Buddha. I see those who keep the commandments with a faultless conduct, as pure as gems and jewelry, thus seeking the path of Buddha.
Manjushri, the Buddha's son, give us now an answer and make us happy. Everything we have seen can not be the case for trivial reasons. A single beam has illuminated so many thousands of fields. Manjushri you must know. "

Buddha Candrasuryapradipa (Light of the moon and sun)
.
Manjushri then gave his answer: I remember that in a
epoca passata innumerevoli Kalpa or sono viveva un Buddha tenuto in sommo onore dagli uomini, chiamato Candrasuryapradipa. Questo Buddha esponeva la legge salvando innumerevoli esseri viventi e incommensurabili milioni di Bodhisattva facendoli accedere alla saggezza del Buddha. Egli aveva otto figli, tutti principi, che un giorno, vedendo che il padre aveva abbandonato la famiglia fecero lo stesso e intrapresero le pratiche di Brahma.
Un giorno, essi giunsero al cospetto del Buddha che si era appena svegliato dalla samadhi.
Il Buddha, vedendo Candrasuryapradipa e i suoi otto figli lo lodò dicendo:
“Tu sei l’occhio del mondo, in te ognuno può credere e avere fede, tu puoi onorare e sostenere il tesoro del dharma. La legge che expose, only you can witness it. "
Having uttered these words of praise expounded the Lotus Sutra for sixty small whole Kalpa. Never rose from his seat, and the supreme and wonderful law that he was exposed fully accepted and supported by the master of the dharma marvelous light.
After the Buddha had preached the Law of the Lotus, on the same day he announced his audience of heavenly beings and humans:
"I have already explained to you the meaning of true entity of all phenomena. Now, come midnight, I will enter into Nirvana. Practice diligently, and free from negligence and laziness. It is very difficult to find a Buddha, we can meet every one Kalpa million. "
Candrasuryapradipa's children, hearing that the Buddha entered Nirvana would be gripped by pain and anguish were surprised that the Buddha should be extinguished so soon. But he comforted the huge crowd, saying
"When I entered the Nirvana you will not have to have no concern or fear, among you there is a Bodhisattva named Srigarba (Casket of Virtue), which has already fully understood in his heart the true extent of illusions. He will be the next to become a Buddha. It will be called Vimalagranetra (Body Pure) and also he will save countless multitudes. "
That night, the Buddha entered Nirvana as the fire is extinguished when the wood è consumata.
I suoi discepoli divisero e ripartirono le sue reliquie ed eressero un numero incredibile di torri; monaci e monache numerosi come le sabbie del Gange praticarono con raddoppiato zelo ricercando in tal modo la via suprema. Questo maestro del dharma, Candrasuryapradipa, sostenne e onorò il tesoro del dharma del Buddha per la durata di ottanta piccoli Kalpa diffondendo ampiamente il Sutra del Loto.
Anche i suoi otto nobili figli si attennero fermamente alla via suprema e poterono perciò incontrare innumerevoli Buddha. Molti li seguirono nella pratica della grande via e uno dopo l’altro poterono diventare Buddha. L’ultimo a divenire essere celeste tra gli esseri celesti fu chiamato Buddha Dipankara (Fiaccola Ardente).
This master of the dharma, Candrasuryapradipa, had at that time a disciple whose mind was dominated by laziness, by greed for fame and profit. Insatiably sought fame and profit often people attending his and other families. Throw away what he had learned, the neglect, I forgot, did not understand. Precisely for this reason it was called Yasaskama, which means seeker of Fame. But he also made countless good deeds and because of that he could see countless Buddhas. He made offerings to Buddha and followed them in the practice of making big way and now all six paramita met the lion of the Shakya. Which will then become a Buddha named Maitreya and save every where living in number beyond any calculation. After the extinction of that Buddha, the man now you are lazy and that master of the dharma, Candrasuryapradipa, now I am.
I saw the show in the past Buddha Candrasuryapradipa strangely foreboding as this. And so now I know that this is going to expose the Buddha of the Lotus Sutra. Now the signs are the same as prodigious auspices past
Humans will now get to know: Clasp hands and wait. The Buddha will rain the rain of the law to satisfy all those who seek the path. Be
controlled, well arranged, with clasped hands.
you are looking for three vehicles, if you have doubts and regrets the Buddha solve them for you by placing the end so that nothing remains.
