It trembled, trembled strongly, and trembled intensely; it quivered, quivered strongly, and quivered intensely; it shook, shook strongly, and shook intensely; it shuddered, shuddered strongly, and shuddered intensely; it quaked, quaked strongly, and quaked intensely; the east sank and the west rose, the west sank and the east rose, the north sank and the south rose, the south sank and the north rose, the perimeter sank and the center rose, and the center sank and the perimeter rose. In all the world there shone an immeasurable radiance, there fell a great rain of divine incense, the devas threw down a great rain of flowers, hundreds of thousands of divine musical instruments were played up in the sky, the sky above was covered with divine food, and these words were spoken:
40.153這個千百萬世界的宇宙以六種方式震動。它震顫、強烈地震顫、劇烈地震顫；它晃動、強烈地晃動、劇烈地晃動；它搖晃、強烈地搖晃、劇烈地搖晃；它顫抖、強烈地顫抖、劇烈地顫抖；它搖撼、強烈地搖撼、劇烈地搖撼；東邊下沉西邊上升，西邊下沉東邊上升，北邊下沉南邊上升，南邊下沉北邊上升，周邊下沉中心上升，中心下沉周邊上升。整個世界閃耀著無量的光芒，降下大量的天香雨，天神拋下大量的花雨，數百千種天樂器在空中演奏，空中被天食覆蓋，並說出了這些言語：
40.154“The beings who hear this Dharma teaching on entering great compassion will easily reach attainment, and those beings will serve and honor many buddhas. [F.170.b]
40.154「那些聽聞這部關於大悲的法教的生命將會輕易地達到成就，那些生命將會侍奉和恭敬許多佛陀。」
40.155“Those who hear this samādhi, the revealed equality of the nature of all phenomena, and, having heard it, write it out, possess it, keep it, recite it to others, promote it, meditate on it with unadulterated meditation, promulgate it, and teach it extensively to others will become the subject of offerings from all beings.”
40.155「那些聽聞這個三摩地，一切現象本性顯露的平等性，並且聽聞之後，將它寫下來、擁有它、保持它、向他人誦讀它、推廣它、用純淨的禪修來禪修它、宣揚它，並廣泛地向他人教導它的人，將成為一切生命的供養對象。」
40.156Then the Bhagavān said to Brother Ānanda, “Ānanda, you must hold this Dharma teaching, recite it, promulgate it, and teach it extensively to others.”
40.156薄伽梵對阿難說道：「阿難，你應當受持這個法教，誦讀它，廣泛傳播它，並將它詳盡地教導給他人。」
40.157Then Brother Ānanda asked the Bhagavān, “What is the name of this teaching? In what way shall I keep it?”
40.157隨後，阿難問薄伽梵："這個法教叫什麼名字？我應該如何去受持它？"
The Bhagavān said, “Ānanda, you should keep this sūtra as having the name Entering Great Compassion. You should also keep this sūtra as having the name The Samādhi, the Revealed Equality of the Nature of All Phenomena.”
薄伽梵對阿難說：「阿難，你應當把這部經視為名叫《入於大悲》來受持。你也應當把這部經視為名叫《三摩地，顯示一切現象本性的平等》來受持。」
Ānanda said, “Bhagavān, I shall keep this Dharma teaching.”
阿難說：「薄伽梵，我將受持此法教。」
40.158The Bhagavān, having spoken those words, the youth Candraprabha, Brother Ānanda, the fourfold assembly of bhikṣus, bhikṣuṇīs, upāsakas, and upāsikās, the devas of Śuddhāvāsa, and the world with its devas, humans, asuras, and gandharvas rejoiced and praised the words of the Bhagavān.
40.158薄伽梵說完這些話後，月光少年、阿難比丘、四眾比丘、比丘尼、優婆塞、優婆夷，淨居天的諸天神，以及世間的天神、人類、阿修羅、乾闥婆都歡喜踴躍，讚歎薄伽梵的言語。
40.159“The Samādhi, the Revealed Equality of the Nature of All Phenomena,” is concluded.
