Chapter 1000 Buddha Rice (I)
Vimala asked the Bodhisattvas, "All benevolent ones, who can give them Buddha's meal?"
With Manjushri's divine power, all the salts are silent.
Vimala said: There is no shame in being benevolent to the masses.
Manjushri said: As the Buddha said, don't take it lightly.
Therefore, Vimala could not sit in the seat, but in front of the assembly, turned into a bodhisattva, good and bright, and the virtue was special, and he was hidden from the assembly, and told him: Thou shalt divide it upward, and the degree is like the forty-two Ganges sand Buddha land, there are the names of the country and the incense, and the Buddha's name is incense, and the Bodhisattvas sit and eat together.
Thou shalt go to the other side, as I say: Vimala Sutra is the first to pay tribute to immeasurable, inquire about daily life, less sickness and less annoyance, and have no strength?
In addition to being eaten by the World-Honored One, he should perform Buddha deeds in the world of Suva, so that this happy little Dharma person can enjoy the great way, and also make the reputation of the Buddha be heard.
When the Bodhisattva is in front of the meeting, ascends above, everyone sees it, goes to the incense world, salutes the Buddha's feet, and hears his words: Vimala Jiji is the first to the feet, pay tribute to the immeasurable, inquire about life, less sick and less annoyed, and the strength is safe?
In addition to being eaten by the World-Honored One, I want to do Buddha deeds in the world of Suva, so that this happy little Dharma person can enjoy the great way, and also make the name of the Buddha come to the world.
He is a great priest, seeing the Bodhisattva, sighing that there has never been!
Where did the Venerable Master come from?
What is the world of Suva?
What is the name of the cloud? That is, to ask the Buddha, the Buddha said: The lower degree is like the forty-two Ganges River sand Buddha land, there is the world's famous Supo, the Buddha name Sakyamuni, now in the five turbid evil worlds, for the music of the small law of all beings perfunctory Taoism.
He has the bodhisattva's name Vimalaya, who lives in incredible liberation, and speaks the Dharma for all bodhisattvas, so he sends him to praise my name and praise this land, so that his bodhisattva can gain merit.
The Bodhisattva said, "What is a person, but what is it?"
Fearless, God-footed?
Buddha said: Very big! All the ten directions are sent to do Buddha deeds and benefit sentient beings. So the incense accumulated, and filled the fragrant rice with all the incense bowls, and turned into a bodhisattva.
At that time, the nine million bodhisattvas all declared: I want to go to the world of samva, make offerings to Shakyamuni Buddha, and want to see Vimala and other bodhisattvas.
Buddha said: You can go! The incense of your body does not confuse the hearts of all sentient beings.
And let you give up your true form, and do not let those who seek the Bodhisattva in other countries be ashamed of themselves.
and you are in the other, don't think about being contemptuous and obstructive.
So what? The land of the ten directions is like nothingness.
And the Buddhas are those who want to transform the small Dharma of all pleasures, and they do not fully manifest their pure ears.
At that time, the Bodhisattva received the bowl and rice, and the other nine million Bodhisattvas, inherited the Buddha's power and the power of Vimalaya, and suddenly disappeared in the other world, and in a moment, he went to Vimalaya.
At that time, Vimalaya was transformed into the seat of nine million masters, and all the bodhisattvas sat on it.
At that time, the Bodhisattva turned into a bowl full of fragrant rice and Vimalaya, and the rice incense was smoked by the city of Viya and the three thousand worlds.
At that time, Viya left the Brahmin monks and others, smelling the aroma, and the body and mind were happy, and sighed that there had never been. So the elder Lord Yuegai, from 84,000 people, came to Vimalaya, and saw that there were many bodhisattvas in his room, and all the teachers were very happy. Worship the bodhisattvas and the big disciples, but live on one side.
The gods of the earth and the gods of the void, when they smell this fragrance, also come to Vimalaya.
At that time, Vimalaya, Sariputta, and others heard loudly: The benevolent can eat, such as nectar flavored rice, smoked by great compassion, and eaten without limit, so that it will not disappear.
There are different voices and thoughts: it is a lack of food, and everyone should eat this public. The Bodhisattva said: Don't listen to the sound of small virtues and small wisdom, weigh the immeasurable blessings and wisdom.
There is no end to the four seas, and this meal is endless. so that all people can eat, if Sumeru, even a catastrophe, it will not be exhausted.
So what?
Those who have endless precepts, concentration, wisdom, liberation, and liberation and knowledge are full of merit, and what they eat will never be exhausted.
So the bowl and the rice were full, and the congregation was satisfied, and it was still unpleasant. Its bodhisattvas, shravakas, celestial beings, and those who eat this meal are safe and happy, just like all the bodhisattvas of the majestic kingdom are also happy.
And all the pores are full of wonderful fragrance, just like the fragrance of all the trees in the land of incense.
