He observed standards of purity numerous as beings
Having practiced extensively for many eons
He served the boundless ocean of Buddhas
Accumulating virtue in the stage of radiance
His store of calm was firm and enduring
The vast cloud of teachings he had already learned
So it is told in the Gemstone Fruits.
The incomparable stage of clear intellect like an ocean of flames
Comprehending situations, he gave rise to compassion
With an equal physical presence in all lands
These accomplishments of the Buddha are all expounded.
Universal Store of Equanimity—The difficult to conquer stage
According with action and stillness, without contradiction
The realm of the Buddhist Teaching is completely impartial
How the Buddha Purified it, the jewels can tell.
Far reaching practice—The stage of oceanic wisdom,
Totally comprehending all aspects of the teachings,
Appearing in all lands like space:
The voice of these teachings comes from the trees.
The body of space, pervading the cosmos,
The lamp of wisdom, shining on all beings,
All practical methods completely purified:
His past long journey he causes to be told.
Adorned by execution of all vows,
Infinite oceans of lands are all pure;
Undisturbed by any discrimination,
This pear-less stage is fully explained
Mystic powers of infinite scope
Enter the illuminating power of the teachings;
This pure stage of beneficent wisdom
And it”s eons of practice are fully revealed.
The Far Reaching tenth stage of clouds of teaching
Engulfs everything, pervading all space;
The realm of the Buddha is told in the voice
This voice is the Buddha”s spiritual power

And understand all states which adorn it.
Each initiates pure vows and puts them into practice;
All have made offerings to innumerable beings
They are able to see the real true body of Buddha
As well as all his mystical displays.
Some can see the Buddha”s reality body
Incomparable, unhindered, pervading everywhere:
The nature of all the infinity of things
Is in that Body completely.
Some see the Buddha”s sublime body of form
Its boundless physical characteristics blazing with light;
According to the different understandings of various beings
It transforms into various appearances, everywhere.
Some see the body of Unobstructed knowledge
Equal in all times, like space;
According to the changes in beings inclinations
It causes them to see all kinds of differences.
Some can understand the Buddhas voice
Pervading all lands in the ten directions;
According to sentient beings abilities to understand,
It produces verbal sounds for them without any hindrance.
Some see the Buddha”s various lights
Variously shining throughout the world,
And some see too in the Buddhas light,
Buddhas displaying their mystic power.
Some see Buddhas oceans of clouds of light
Issuing from his pores of radiant hues
Showing the paths he practiced of yore,
Causing beings to deeply believe and enter Buddha”s knowledge.
Some see the Buddha”s adorning marks and blessings
And see where the blessings come from
The oceans of transcendent means he practiced of old
Are clearly seen in the Buddhas marks.
Buddhas qualities cannot be measured:
They fill the cosmos, without any bounds
These and the ranges of psychic powers
