Chapter 39 The Description Of What The Compassionate One Had Seen

At that time, The Buddha told Ananda and The Compassionate Maitreya Bodhisattva,
"Do you not see The World of Ultimate Bliss, with the palaces, towers and attics, streams, ponds and woodlands which are pure, completely and wonderfully adorned? Do you not see the heavens in the desire realms up to the Heavens of Ultimate forms are raining down fragrant flowers pervasively all over The Buddhaland?

Ananda answered, "Indeed, I do see that!"

"Do you not hear the great voice of Amitabha Buddha who is teaching and transforming the living being in all the worlds?"

Ananda answered, "Indeed, I do hear that."

The Buddha said, "Do you not see the pure assembly in that land who travel in their palaces in empty space with no obstruction to make offering pervasively to The Buddhas in the ten directions? And do you not see them mindful of The Buddha and call upon His Name unceasingly? There are also birds that sing and talk in different tunes and dwell in the realm of empty space? These birds are the transformation bodies of Amitabha Buddha. Do you see them or not?

The Compassionate Maitreya answered, "Just as The Buddha has mentioned, I can see every one of those adornments."

The Buddha told Maitreya Bodhisattva, "There are also beings that are born from the wombs in that land, do you see them or not?"

Maitreya Bodhisattva answered, "Indeed, World Honoured One. I can see the beings who dwell in the wombs in The World of Ultimate Bliss. They are just like living beings in the palaces on the Trayastrimsha Heaven. And also I can see the living beings who are born from transformation naturally and they sit in the lotus position inside the lotus. What are the causes and conditions that enable the people to be born from the wombs or from transformation in that land?"
