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.

Chi: 佛陀跋陀, T.666 459b15-25

金剛慧若有菩薩爲佛道故。勤行精進修習神通。入諸三昧欲殖徳本。供養過恒河沙現在諸佛。造過恒河沙七寶臺閣。高十由旬縱廣正等各一由旬。設七寶床敷以天繒。爲一一佛日日造立過恒河沙七寶臺閣。以用奉獻一一如來及諸菩薩聲聞大衆。以如是事普爲一切過恒河沙現在諸佛。如是次第乃至過五十恒沙衆寶臺閣。以用供養過五十恒沙現在諸佛及諸菩薩聲聞大衆。乃至無量百千萬劫。

Chi: 不空, T.667 464b8-18

或有善男子善女人或餘菩薩。爲於積集如來智故。精勤供養一切如來。於一一世界。成就如是色三摩地。由此色三摩地威力。過恒河沙諸佛世界。過恒沙數倶胝那庾多現在諸佛。於一一佛所供養承事。并及菩薩聲聞僧衆。如是乃至過五十恒河沙諸佛世尊。當於和暢安樂之時。各送百千珍妙樓閣。一一量高十踰繕那。縱廣正等一踰繕那。如是一切以寶成天妙香器。散種種花成辦種種受用之具。日日如是乃至千劫。

[Devaluation of external worship]
“Vajramati, a certain bodhisattva might apply [himself] to realize the tathāgata-knowledge, and for the purpose of venerating all buddhas without exception in every single world system (lokadhātu), [he] would, after achieving supernatural powers (ṛddhi), attain (samāpadyate) such an absorption (samādhi) that through the power created by [this] absorption [he could] day by day present (niryātayati) pavilions to every single existing tathāgata among the buddhas, the exalted ones, even more [numerous] than the sands of the Ganges River, in myriads (koṭīniyutaśatasahasra) of buddha-fields even more [numerous] than the sands of the Ganges River, together with [their] bodhisattvas and the communities of śrāvakas. [To reside in these pavilions would be] pleasant in [every] season. [Their] width [and length would each be] one yojana, [their] height ten yojanas. [They] would be made of all [kinds of] jewels, [and would be] heavenly fragrant, being strewn with a variety of fallen blossoms and furnished with all immaculate (anavadya) objects of enjoyment (bhoga). [The number of pavilions would be] as many as fifty [times] the sands of a hundred thousand Ganges Rivers. For fully a hundred thousand cosmic cycles (kalpas) [he] would show reverence in this way.
