Chapter 21 The Precious Jewelled Lotus And The Buddha's Lights

"Also there are all kinds of precious lotus flowers that grow pervasively in the Land of Ultimate Bliss. Everyone of the precious lotus consists of hundreds and thousands of billions of petals. The flowers are bright and shining with immeasurable types of colours. The green colour will reflect green lights while the white colour will reflect white lights. Each of the black, yellow, red and purple colours will also produce the lights just as the reflected colours.

Also there are uncountable precious gems and hundreds of thousands of mani gems that reflect their decorations upon one another. These precious jewellery and gems are as brilliant as the sun and moon. The lotuses are also of different sizes. Some are half yojanas, others are one, two, three or four until hundreds and thousands of yojanas. Everyone of the lotus will produce thirty-six hundreds thousands of billions lights. And everyone of the lights will produce thirty-six hundreds thousands of billions of Buddhas, each with the form body in the golden purplish hues and the face features which are specially and handsomely adorned. Everyone of those Buddhas will again emit hundreds and thousands of brilliant lights. Pervasively they will speak the subtle and wonderful Dharmas to the living beings in the ten directions. And the Buddhas like these will each teach and transform uncountable lining beings so as to dwell on the Proper Path of Buddha."
