Then Maha- maudgalyayana flew as swift as a hawk to the king Day after day he came like this to give him the eight precepts The World-Honored One also sent the Venerable Purna likewise to the palace to expound the Dharma to the king Three weeks passed in this way Because he had eaten the flour-paste and heard the Dharma, he appeared peaceful and contented (3) Lúc ðó, A Xà Thª ðªn hửi ngòải giổ cỉa rÂng: "Phứ vòẵng ta hụm cũn sng chồng?"

The guard replied, "Great king, his consort spreads flour paste over her body and fills her ornaments with grape juice and offers these to the king The monks Mahamaudgalyayana and Purna come here through the air to expound the Dharma to him It is impossible to stop them." Hearing this, Ajatashatru became furious with his mother and said, "Because you are an accomplice to that enemy, mother, you too are an enemy Those monks are evil, for with their delusive magic they have kept this wicked king alive for many days." So saying, he drew his sharp sword, intending to kill her At that time the king had a minister named Candraprabha who was intelligent and wise Together with Jivaka he made obeisances to the king and said, "Great King, according to a certain Vedic scripture, since the beginning of this cosmic period, there have been eighteen thousand wicked kings who have killed their fathers out of their desire to usurp the throne, but we have never heard of anyone who has committed the outrage of killing his mother Your Majesty, if you commit such an outrage, you will bring disgrace upon the ksatriya class As your ministers, we cannot bear to hear what people will say As this would be the act of an outcaste, we could no longer remain here." Having spoken these words, the two ministers grasped their swords and stepped back Agitated and frightened, Ajatashatru said to Jivaka, "Are you not on my side?" Jivaka replied, "Your Majesty, please restrain yourself and not kill your mother." Hearing this, the king repented and begged their forgiveness Having thrown away his sword, he stopped short of killing his mother and, instead, ordered the court officials to lock her in an inner chamber and not to allow her to leave (4) Vi Ы Hy phu nhẵn bá u cÔm, sƠu lo tiôu tứy, xa trụng vô nỳi Kẽ X QuĐt ọnh l PhĐt v bếch rÂng: "éẹc Nhò Lai Thê Tụn!

Calling the name of the Buddha extinguishes the evil karma that the dying person has committed during fifty kotis of kalpas of Samsara "The Buddha then sends his transformed body and those of Avalokiteshvara and Mahasthamaprapta to the aspirant; they praise him, saying, 'Well done, man of good deeds! By calling the Name of the Buddha your evil karma has been extinguished, and so we have come to welcome you.' When these words are uttered, the aspirant sees a flood of light from that transformed Buddha fill his room Having 69 seen this, he rejoices and dies Seated on a jewelled lotus-flower, he follows the transformed Buddha and is born on a jewelled pond In seven weeks the lotus-bud opens and Avalokiteshvara, the Bodhisattva of Great Compassion, and Mahasthamaprapta appear before him, releasing great floods of light, and explain to him the extremely profound teachings of the twelve divisions of the scriptures Having heard these, the aspirant accepts them in faith, and awakens aspiration for the highest Enlightenment After ten smaller kalpas, he acquires clear understanding of the one hundred dharmas and enters the First Stage of Bodhisattvahood Such a person is called one who attains birth on the highest level of the lowest grade Thus he is born by hearing the Name of the Buddha, the Dharma and the Sangha that is, the Three Treasures."

In this way, he sincerely and continuously says 'Homage to Amitayus Buddha' [Na-mo-o-mi-t'o-fo] ten times Because he calls the Buddha's Name, with each repetition, the evil karma which he has committed during eighty kotis of kalpas of Samsara is extinguished When he comes to die, he sees before him a golden lotus-flower like the disk of the sun, and in an instant he is born within a lotus-bud in the Land of Utmost Bliss After twelve great 74 kalpas the lotus-bud opens When the flower opens, Avalokiteshvara and Maha- sthamaprapta teach him with voices of great compassion the method of extinguishing evil karma through the realization of Suchness of all dharmas Hearing this, he rejoices and immediately awakens aspiration for Enlightenment Such a person is called one who attains birth on the lowest level of the lowest grade These three together are known as the contemplation of the lowest grade of aspirants and the sixteenth contemplation."

The Buddha answered, "Ananda, this sutra is called the Visualization of the Land of Utmost Bliss, of the Buddha Amitayus, and of the Bodhisattvas Avalokiteshvara and Mahasthamaprapta It is also called the Purification and Elimination of Karmic Hindrances for Attaining Birth in the Presence of All the Buddhas Hold fast to this sutra and not forget it Those who practice this samadhi will be able to see, during their lifetime, the Buddha Amitayus and the two Mahasattvas If good men or women simply hear the Name of this Buddha or the names of those two bodhisattvas, the evil karma which they have committed during innumerable kalpas of Samsara will be extinguished And so, how much more merit will 78 they acquire if they concentrate on them! You should know that all who are mindful of that Buddha are like white lotus-flowers among humankind; the Bodhisattvas Avalokiteshvara and Mahasthama- prapta become their good friends They will sit in the place of Enlightenment and be born into the family of the Buddhas." The Buddha further said to Ananda, "Bear these words well in mind To bear these words in mind means to hold fast to the Name of the Buddha Amitayus." When the Buddha had spoken thus, the Venerable Maha- maudgalyayana, Venerable Ananda, Vaidehi and all the others greatly rejoiced to hear the Buddha's discourse (33) BÔy giả éẹc Thê Tụn bòắc trờn hò khụng, trà lếi nỳi Kẽ 79 X QuĐt Khi vô ên nẵi, Tụn giä A Nan lÕi ðÕi chúng trùng tun vi®c Ôy Vụ lòỵng chò Thiờn, long, dế xoa nghe lải cỹa PhĐt núi, ôu rÔt vui mìng, ọnh l éẹc Thê Tụn ri lui bòắc trà vô [33] Then the World-Honored One returned to the Vulture Peak through the air There Ananda fully explained to the assembly what had happened Innumerable humans, devas, nagas, yaksas and all the other beings greatly rejoiced to hear the Buddha's teaching Having worshipped the World-Honored One, they departed 80
