The Formation of the World 世界成就品 part 14


  時,普賢菩薩復告大眾言:諸佛子!應知世界海有世界海微塵數劫轉變差別。所謂:法如是故,世界海無量成、壞劫轉變;染污眾生住故,世界海成染污劫轉變;修廣大福眾生住故,世界海成染凈劫轉變;信解普薩住故,世界海成染凈劫轉變;無量眾生發菩提心故,世界海純清靜劫轉變;諸菩薩各各遊諸世界故,世界海無邊莊嚴劫轉變;十方一切世界海諸菩薩雲集故,世界海無量大莊嚴劫轉變;諸佛世尊入涅槃故,世界海莊嚴滅劫轉變;諸佛出現於世故,一切世界海廣博嚴凈劫轉變;如來神通變化故,世界海普清靜劫轉變。如是等,有世界海微塵數。
  At that moment, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva besides preached to the present bodhisattvas, “Every disciple, know that there are differences in changes of period/Kalpa, as many as particles in oceans of worlds. That is to say, because of Dharma itself, the oceans of worlds have innumerable changes in time, turning from establishment to destruction; because of contaminated sentient beings’ dwelling, the oceans of worlds have changes in time, becoming contaminated ones; because of those sentient beings who devoted themselves to various kind deeds living there, the oceans of worlds have changes in time, turning from contaminated into not yet clean ones; because of bodhisattvas with belief and realization living there, the oceans of worlds have changes in time, turning from contaminated into fairly clean ones; because of boundless sentient beings’ developing their Budhi Mind(菩提心),the oceans of worlds have changes in time, turning out to be pure and unsoiled ones; because of each bodhisattva ’s cultivating and adorning every world, the oceans of worlds have changes in time, becoming supreme solemn ones; because of Maha bodhisattvas from all worlds in ten directions gathering together, the oceans of world have changes in time, developing into infinite and great solemn ones; because of every Buddha or the World Honored One entering Nirvana, the oceans of worlds have changes in time, turning from solemnness into destruction; because of every Buddha’s advent, the oceans of worlds have changes in time, becoming the extensively solemn and pure ones; because of Tathagatas’ miraculous deeds, the oceans of worlds have changes in time, becoming prevalently pure ones. There are as many changes as particles in oceans of worlds.” 待續...
