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.

1. Prediction of Avakirnakusuma  Thereupon, at that time, one of the Gods of the Thirty-three seized Mandarava flowers, magnificent Mandarava flowers, and came to where the Lord was.  And just at that time, six thousand monks were assembled and seated in that assembly.  They rose from their seats, put their upper robes over one shoulder, placed their right knees on the earth, and saluted the Lord with their folded hands.  Through the Buddha’s might their hands were then filled with Mandarava flowers, with magnificent Mandarava flowers.  They scattered those flowers over the Lord, and said: “We, O Lord, shall course in this perfection of wisdom! We, O Lord, shall dwell in the supreme dwelling of perfect wisdom!”

Thereupon, on that occasion, the Lord smiled.  But such is the nature of the Buddhas and Lords that, when they manifest a smile [in an assembly of Bodhisattvas], then various-coloured rays issue from the Lord’s mouth, - rays blue, yellow, red, white, crimson, crystal, silverfish and golden.  These rays illuminate endless and boundless world systems with their lustre, they rise right up to the world of Brahma, again return from there to the Lord, circulate thrice round the Lord, and then vanish again in the head of the Lord.

(458) Thereupon the venerable Ananda rose from his seat, put his upper robe over one shoulder, placed his right knee on the earth, bent his folded hands towards the Lord, and said: It is not without reason that the Tathagatas manifest a smile.  What is the reason for your smile, O Lord? The Lord: Those six thousand monks, Ananda, shall in a future period, in the Starlike aeon, know full enlightenment, and after that demonstrate dharma to beings.  They all shall bear the same name. With Avakirnakusuma for their name  these Tathagatas shall be teachers in the world.  They shall all have an equal congregation of disciples.  They shall all live the same length of time, i.e. twenty thousand aeons.  Each one of them shall have an extensive holy writ, that shall spread widely among Gods and men.  In each case their good law shall abide for the same length of time, for twenty thousand aeons.  And showers of flowers, of all the five colours, shall descend on all of them - wherever they may leave the home which they had in village, town or marketplace, wherever they may turn the wheel of dharma, wherever they may dwell, wherever they may appear [among people]. (459,1)
