Document Summary
The buddha was at rajagrha with all the monks and arhats and nuns. Buddha emitted a ray of light that reached even the lowest hell. Bodhisattva maitreya asks manjusri, prince of the dharma, why the. Then he talks about how the light from his eyebrows is emitting it through the whole world, everyone can see and hear it. Then he says he sees all different kinds of bodhisattvas. Manjusri says that the buddha will teach the great dharma. He saw other buddhas in the past do the same thing and then teach the dharma. Then says candrasuryaprandipa (many buddhas with the same name) taught the dharma is this way. They all abandoned their kingdom when their father left the household. Candras taught the mahayana sutra called immeasurable meanings, the instruction for the bodhisattvas and treasured lore of the buddhas. He proclaimed that the tathagata will reach nivana.
