Review: Avatamsaka Sutra Book 6 - Vairocana 华严经 - 毗卢遮那品第六

http://www.dizang.org/bk/zhy/011.htm


“诸佛子!时,大威光菩萨,以见一切功德山须弥胜云佛,承事供养故,于如来所心得悟了,为一切世间,

显示如来往昔行海,

显示往昔菩萨行方便,

显示一切佛功德海,

显示普入一切法界清净智,

显示一切道场中成佛自在力,

显示佛力无畏、无差别智,

显示普示现如来身,

显示不可思议佛神变,

显示庄严无量清净佛土,

显示普贤菩萨所有行愿,

令如须弥山微尘数众生发菩提心,佛刹微尘数众生成就如来清净国土

The above is an excerpts from Book 6 detailing the Attainment of 大威光菩萨, Great Power Light Boddhisattva.

Book 6 - Vairocana details the Appearance of the First Three Buddhas, one after another's Nirvana.


其第一佛,号:一切功德山须弥胜云


诸佛子!彼一切功德须弥胜云佛,寿命五十亿岁。彼佛灭度后,有佛出世,名:波罗蜜善眼庄严王

诸佛子!波罗蜜善眼庄严王如来入涅槃已,喜见善慧王寻亦去世,大威光童子受转轮王位。彼摩尼华枝轮大林中第三如来出现于世,名:最胜功德海


The First Buddha, Name: All Virtuous Mountains Supreme Sumeru Cloud lived for fifty billion years; after he entered Nirvana, the Second Buddha, named King of Paramita Kind Eye Dignified appeared in the world.  

Subsequently, the 3rd Buddha named: Most Supreme Virtue Sea.


This Book 6 is a good read.
Slowly stroll through it and enjoy the scenes described.

You have no need to pressure yourself to memorize anything within, but the various attainment and how these attainment come about. 

Determine Efforts in Cultivation is one of  the Keys! 
If you don't agree, then find your own and share with us all! :)

Sharing Buddha Dharma is a Great part of Boddhicitta.


Cheers all.
