尔时，如来师子之座，众宝、妙华、轮台、基陛，及诸户牖，如是一切庄严具中，一一各出佛刹微尘数菩萨摩诃萨，

At that time the Buddhas Lion Seat, It’s round platform of exquisite flowers of many jewels, it’s base, steps, doors, and all of its embellishments, each produced as many great enlightening beings as there are atoms in a Buddha Land.  

其名曰：海慧自在神通王菩萨摩诃萨、雷音普震菩萨摩诃萨、众宝光明髻菩萨摩诃萨、大智日勇猛慧菩萨摩诃萨、不思议功德宝智印菩萨摩诃萨、百目莲华髻菩萨摩诃萨、金焰圆满光菩萨摩诃萨、法界普音菩萨摩诃萨、云音净月菩萨摩诃萨、善勇猛光明幢菩萨摩诃萨。如是等而为上首，有众多佛刹微尘数同时出现。

There Names were Oceanic Wisdom, Sovereign King of Occult Powers; Thunder Shaking All; Topknot of Lights of Many Jewels; Bold Intelligence of the Son of Knowledge; Seal of Knowledge made of Jewels of Inconceivable Qualities; Hundred Eye Lotus Topknot; Light Spheres of Golden Flames; Universal Sound of the Cosmos; Cloud Sound Pure Moon; Banner of Light of Benevolent Courage: These were the leaders, and there were as many of them as atoms in many Buddha Lands.

此诸菩萨，各兴种种供养云，所谓：一切摩尼宝华云、一切莲华妙香云、一切宝圆满光云、无边境界香焰云、日藏摩尼轮光明云、一切悦意乐音云、无边色相一切宝灯光焰云、众宝树枝华果云、无尽宝清净光明摩尼王云、一切庄严具摩尼王云。如是等诸供养云，有佛世界微尘数。

At the same time as they appeared, these enlightening beings each produced clouds of various offerings: For example, clouds of flowers of all jewels, clouds of all subtle fragrances of Lotus Blossoms, Clouds of orbs of jewel lights, clouds of fragrant flames of boundless realms, clouds of jewel like light spheres from the treasury of the sun, clouds of all pleasing musical sounds, clouds of flames of light from all jewel lamps, with boundless colors and forms, clouds of branches, flowers, and fruits from trees of many jewels, clouds of regal jewels with inexhaustible pure radiance, clouds of all the finest decorative gems; there were as many such clouds of various offerings as there are atoms in a Buddha World. 

彼诸菩萨，一一皆兴如是供养云，雨于一切道场众海，相续不绝。

Each of these enlightening beings produced such clouds of offerings unceasingly, raining on the oceanic assemblies at all enlightenment sites.

现是云已，右绕世尊，经无量百千匝，随其方面，去佛不远，化作无量种种宝莲华师子之座，各于其上结跏趺坐。

Having manifested these clouds, they circled the Buddha to the right, circling him countless hundreds of thousands of times.  In whatever direction they came from, there, not far from the Buddha, they magically produced innumerable Lotus Lion Seats of various Jewels, and each sat cross legged thereon.

是诸菩萨所行清净广大如海，得智慧光照普门法，随顺诸佛，所行无碍；能入一切辩才法海，得不思议解脱法门，住于如来普门之地；已得一切陀罗尼门，悉能容受一切法海，善住三世平等智地；已得深信，广大喜乐，无边福聚，极善清净；虚空法界靡不观察，十方世界一切国土所有佛兴，咸勤供养。

The spheres of actions of these enlightening beings were pure and vast as the sea.  They had attained the state of universality of illumination of knowledge and wisdom.  Following the Buddhas, They were unhindered in their actions.  They were able to enter the ocean of all principles of discernment and elucidation, and had mastered the teaching of inconceivable liberation.  They dwelt in the state of all sided-ness of the Buddhas.  They had already mastered all techniques of concentration formulae, and were able to contain the ocean of all the teachings.  They dwelt in the stage of equanimous knowledge of past, present, and future.  They had attained the immense joy of profound faith.  Their boundless stores of blessings were most pure.  They observed everywhere in space throughout the cosmos.  They diligently made offerings to all Buddhas appearing in any land in all worlds.
