Summary
s.1After his attainment of buddhahood, the Buddha Śākyamuni is present in many locations simultaneously. The Ten Bhūmis takes place two weeks after his enlightenment, while he is sitting silently in meditation in the central palace in the highest paradise of the desire realm. Countless bodhisattvas have assembled there. Through the power of the Buddha, the bodhisattva Vajragarbha enters samādhi and is blessed by countless buddhas, also named Vajragarbha, to give a Dharma teaching to the bodhisattvas. In response to the questions of the bodhisattva Vimukticandra, Vajragarbha describes successively the ten bhūmis of a bodhisattva. Countless bodhisattvas arrive and report that this same event is occurring simultaneously in the highest paradises of all other worlds. The Buddha is pleased by Vajragarbha’s teaching.
s.1釋迦牟尼佛成就佛果後，同時出現在許多地方。《十地》經文發生在他菩提悟道後的第二週，當時他在欲界最高的天堂中央宮殿裡，寂靜地坐著禪修。無數菩薩聚集在那裡。通過佛的力量，菩薩金剛藏進入三昧，並受到無數同名為金剛藏的諸佛加持，向菩薩們傳授法教。為了回應菩薩解脫月的提問，金剛藏依次詳述了菩薩的十地。無數菩薩來臨並報告，同樣的事件同時發生在所有其他世界最高的天堂裡。佛對金剛藏的教導感到歡喜。
