Buddha practiced for innumerable eons,

His joy is deep and vast as the sea.
His spiritual powers, active every moment, are immeasurable--
He produces lotuses of various fragrances,
With Buddhas sitting on them, traveling all over:
Lotus Light sees it all.
The teaching of the Buddhas is thus:
The Vast assemblies fill all directions
They show mystic powers which can”t be assessed:
This Supreme Flower clearly perceives.

Extolling the names of Buddhas of all times;
All who hear these sounds are delighted:
Thus does Lotus Light see.
The disguised appearances of the Buddha are inconceivable--
His physical forms are like the ocean,

Fine Flowers, seeing this truth,
Becomes joyful at heart.
