(15) Having thought thus he entered a contemplation and exercising his supernatural power, he transferred the land Abhirati into this world. The Bodhisattvas, Sravakas, deities and men in that world who possessed the supernatural power, cried out together and said: “O lord, we are being carried away! ’ ’ Buddha Akshobhya said: “ It is not I that is doing this; it is due to the supernatural power of Vimalakirti. ’ ’ The other beings who did not possess the supernatural power did not recognise it and knew nothing about their being carried away; there was neither increase nor decrease in the land of Abhirati though it was transferred into this world; there was also no squeezing or compression in this world; it remained as before.

(48) Thence comes the power swift as thought, independent of instruments, and the mastery over matter.

(23) Adoration to thee who possessest the ten powers and art ever diligent. Adoration to thee who hast obtained the four kinds of fearlessness. Adoration to thee who hast obtained the supernatural power. Adoration to thee who art the great leader.

(13) “ Though he understands that there is neither birth nor death, yet he manifests himself in all lands as the sun is seen from every quarter. “ Honouring countless millions of Tathagatas in all the ten quarters, in him there is no idea of partiality because he distinguishes not between those Buddhas and himself. “ Though he comprehends the emptiness of the nature of those Buddha-lands and beings therein, yet he ever realises the land of purity for the sake of beings who ought to be taught. “ He is the Bodhisattva who possesses the power of fearlessness and manifests even in one moment all beings with their forms, voices, and behaviour. “ Though being conscious of evil yet he follows evil deeds of evil; and he manifests those evils according to his will, through his wisdom of the necessary means. “ He shows himself as subject to old age, disease, and death in order to teach all beings; though he knows that [things are] even as a phantom, yet he understands their real nature in a most thorough manner.

(10) The Bodhisattva asked: “What wonderful virtue is possessed by him who is able to make an incarnate Bodhisattva fearless in virtue and endowed with such supernatural power ?” Buddha said: “ Great indeed [is his virtue] ! He sends the incarnate Bodhisattva to all the ten quarters in order to perform religious work and benefit all beings.

(25) “ Again, Sariputra, a Bodhisattva who has realised the Inconceivable Emancipation makes himself visible by his supernatural power, as a Buddha body, or a Pratyeka-Buddha body, or a Sravaka body, or Sakra body, or a Brahman body, or a Sahampati body, or a sacred Cakravartin body; again he can produce all the sounds, from the highest to the lowest through all the middle grades, which can be produced in all the worlds of the ten quarters, and he turning them even into the voice of a Buddha, can produce the sounds of impermanency, pain, emptiness, and selflessness in which all the teachings proclaimed by all the Buddhas in the ten quarters can universally be heard.
