Note on the transliteration:
The transliteration system of the BP/TLB is based on the Unicode/UTF-8 system. However, there may be difficulties with some of the letters – particularly on PC/Windows-based systems, but not so much on the Mac. We have chosen the most accepted older and traditional systems of transliteration against, e.g, Wylie for Tibetan, since with Unicode it is possible, in Sanskrit and Tibetan, etc., to represent one sound with one letter in almost all the cases (excepting Sanskrit and Tibetan aspirated letters, and Tibetan tsa, tsha, dza). We thus do not use the Wylie system which widely employs two letters for one sound (ng, ny, sh, zh etc.).
 
Important:
We ask you in particular to note the use of the ’ apostrophe and not the ' representing the avagrāha in Sanskrit, and most important the ’a-chuṅ in Tibetan. On the Mac the ’ is Alt-M.

3. The buddhas praise the bodhisattva    For the Buddhas and Lords, who reside in the countless world-systems, and who, surrounded by the congregation of monks and attended by a multitude of Bodhisattvas, demonstrate dharma, will proclaim the name, clan, power, appearance and form of a Bodhisattva who courses and dwells in perfect wisdom, and who is endowed with the virtues of roaming in perfect wisdom. And they will, when they demonstrate Dharma, exult over that Bodhisattva, proclaiming his name, clan, power, colour and form.  Just here and now I demonstrate dharma, and I proclaim the name, etc., of the Bodhisattva Ratnaketu, and of the Bodhisattva Sikhin. (450) I exult over them, and also over the other Bodhisattvas who just now lead the holy life with the Tathagata Akshobhya.  In a similar way, the Buddhas in other Buddha-fields proclaim the name, etc., of those Bodhisattvas who just now lead the holy life here in my Buddha-field, and who dwell in the dwelling of perfect wisdom. And they exult over them.

Subhuti: Do the Buddhas honour all Bodhisattvas in such a manner? The Lord: No, Subhuti.  But only those who are irreversible and free from all attachment.  Subhuti: Are there, apart from the irreversible Bodhisattvas, any other Bodhisattvas whom the Buddhas honour in such a manner? The Lord: Yes, there are. They are persons belonging to the vehicle of the Bodhisattvas, who are strong in resisting the enemy.  They are (451) just now engaged in learning the course of a Bodhisattva under the Tathagata Akshobhya, and the Bodhisattva Ratnaketu, course there on the pilgrimage of a Bodhisattva, and dwell engaged in learning it.

In addition, those Bodhisattvas who course in perfect wisdom, and who resolutely believe that “all dharmas fail to be produced” without, however, having so far acquired definitely the patient acceptance of dharmas which fail to be produced;  as well as those who resolutely believe that “all dharmas are calmly quiet,” without, however, having entered into the attainment of the irreversible domain over all dharmas;  those Bodhisattvas who dwell in this dwelling are honoured by the Buddhas in the above manner.  (452) But Bodhisattvas of whom the Buddhas proclaim the name, etc., and over whom they exult, must have forsaken the level of the Disciples and Pratyekabuddhas,  and one must expect them to be on the level of the Buddha.  And they shall be predicted to full enlightenment.  For Bodhisattvas of whom the Buddhas proclaim the name, etc., and over whom they exult, they also shall stand in irreversibility.
