Then the young Licchavi Ratnākara, having praised the Bless One with these stanzas, also said to him: Blessed One, the five hundred young Licchavis who are on the path to supreme and perfect enlightenment question me regarding the purification of the Buddha-fields and ask me what this the purification of the Buddha-fields is. May the Blessed Tathāgata the explain to these Bodhisattvas the purification of the Buddha-fields.

Now listen and engrave it on your mind: I shall begin by speaking to you of the purification of the Buddha-fields by the Bodhisattvas.

Sons of good family, the field of beings is the Buddhakṣetra of the Bodhisattvas. And why is it so? To the extent that Bodhisattvas favour beings do they acquire Buddhakṣetras. To the extent that beings are disciplined do Bodhisattvas acquire Buddhakṣetras. To the extent that beings, entering those Buddhakṣetras, penetrate the knowledge of the Buddhas do Bodhisattvas acquire Buddhakṣetras. To the extent that beings, entering those Buddhakṣetras, produce noble dominant faculties do Bodhisattvas acquire Buddhakṣetras. And why is it so? Sons of good family, the Buddhakṣetras of the Bodhisattvas draw their origin from the benefits rendered by them to beings. For example, O Ratnākara, if one desires to build on something which resembles space, it can be done; but, in space, nothing can be built, nothing can be adorned. Similarly, O Ratnākara, knowing that all dharmas are like space and to help beings ripen, the Bodhisattva who wishes to build something resembling a Buddhakṣetra can build a simulated Buddhakṣetra, but it is impossible to build a Buddhakṣetra in the void and it is impossible to adorn it.

Observing the rules of training oneself and not blaming the faults of others is the Buddhakṣetra of the Bodhisattva: the instant he obtains enlightnment, the word for fault is not even suggested in his Buddhakṣetra.

That is why, son of good family, the Bodhisattva who wishes to purify his Buddhafield should, first of all, skilfully adorn is own mind. And why? Because to the extent that the mind of a Bodhisattva is pure is his Buddhafield purified. At that moment, through the power of the Buddha, the Venerable Śāriputra had this thought:

If the mind of a Bodhisattva must be ppure in order for his Buddhakṣetra to be purified, then, when the Blessed Lord Śakyamuni exercised the practices as a Bodhisattva, his mind must have been impure, since today his Buddhakṣetra appears to be so impure.

The Blessed One, knowing the Venherable Śāriputra’s thought in his mind, said to him: What do you think of this, Śāriputra? Is it beacuse the sun and the moon are impure that those who are born blind cannot see them?

The Buddha continued: Similarly Śāriputra, if beings cannot see the virtues of the Buddhakṣetra of the Tathāgata, the fault is in their ignorance; the fault is not the Tathāgata’s. Śāriputra, my Buddhakṣetra is pure, but you cannot yourself see it.

Then the Brahmā Śikhin said to the Śāriputra the Elder: Honourable Śāriputra, do not say that the Buddhakṣetra of the Tathāgata is impure; the Buddhakṣetra of the Blessed One is pure. Brahmā Śikhin replied: On my part, Honourable Śāriputra, I can see that the splendour of the Buddhakṣetra of the Blessed Lord Śākyamuni equals the splendours of the dwellings of the Paranirmitavaśavartin gods.

If you see the Buddhakṣetra being so impure, it is because there are rises and dips in your mind, O Honourable Śāriputra, and because you have certainly not purified your intentions in the knowledge of the Buddha. On the contrary, those who possess sameness of mind regarding all beings and who have purified their intentions in the knowledge of the Buddha can see the Buddhakṣetra as being perfectly pure.

Then the Blessed One touched, with his toe, the trichiliomegachilocosm, and, as soon as he had touched it, that universe bacame like a heap of many jewels, a collection of several hundreds of thousands of jewels, a pile of several hundreds of thousands of jewels.

The whole assembly was astonished when it found itself sitting on a splendid seat of precious lotuses.

The Buddha continued: Śāriputra, my Buddhakṣetra is always as pure as this, but, to help inferior beings ripen, the Tathāgata makes it appear like a field vitiated with many flaws. For example, O Śāriputra, the sons of the gods take their food from one single precious receptacle, but thye ambrosia which is the food of the gods varies according to the diverse merits accumulated by the gods. Equally Śāriputra, beings born in the same Buddhakṣetra see, in proportion to their purity, the splendour of the Buddhakṣetra of the Buddhas.

The the Blessed One withdrew his psychic power, and the Buddha-field reappeared as it had been before. Then the gods and men who belonged ot the Listeners’ vehicle thought: Alas! Conditioned things are transitory, and knowing this, thirty-two thousand living beings obtained the pure eye of the Laws regarding dharmas, with out dust or stain. The minds of eight thousand monks were, through detachment, delivered from their impurities. Finally, in eigthy-four thousand living beings who nobly aspired to the Buddha-fields and who had understood the mark of all dharmas to be created by mental illusion, their minds turned to supreme and perfect enlightenment.
