宝池德水第十九
Nineteenth [Chapter On] Treasure Ponds [And] Virtues’ Water
内外左右，有诸浴池。或十由旬，或二十三十，乃至百千由旬。纵广深浅，皆各一等。
Inside [and] outside, [on the] left [and] right, are many bathing ponds. Perhaps [of] ten yojanas, perhaps twenty, thirty, and even [a] hundred thousand yojanas. [With] lengths [and] breadths, depths [and] shallowness, each [and] every one equal.
八功德水，湛然盈满，清净香洁，味如甘露。黄金池者，底白银沙。白银池者，底黄金沙。水精池者，底琉璃沙。琉璃池者，底水精沙。珊瑚池者，底琥珀沙。琥珀池者，底珊瑚沙。砗磲池者，底玛瑙沙。玛瑙池者，底砗磲沙。白玉池者，底紫金沙。紫金池者，底白玉沙。或有二宝三宝，乃至七宝，转共合成。
[Their] eight meritorious virtues’ water [is] clear, peaceful [and] filled fully, pure, fragrant [and] clean, [with] taste like ambrosia. Those yellow-gold ponds [have] bottoms [with] white-silver sands. Those white-silver ponds [have] bottoms [with] yellow-gold sands. Those crystal quartz ponds [have] bottoms [with] lapis lazuli sands. Those lapis lazuli ponds [have] bottoms [with] crystal quartz sands. Those coral ponds [have] bottoms [with] amber sands. Those amber ponds [have] bottoms [with] coral sands. Those tridacna ponds [have] bottoms [with] carnelian sands. Those carnelian ponds [have] bottoms [with] tridacna sands. Those white jade ponds [have] bottoms [with] purple-gold sands. Those purple-gold ponds [have] bottoms [with] white jade sands. Perhaps having two treasures, three treasures, and even seven treasures, [in] turn together composed.
其池岸上，有栴檀树，华叶垂布，香气普熏。天优钵罗华、钵昙摩华、拘牟头华、分陀利华，杂色光茂，弥覆水上。
Above these ponds’ banks are sandalwood trees, [with] flowers [and] leaves drooping [and] spreading, [their] fragrances universally perfuming. Heavenly utpala flowers, padma flowers, kumuda flowers [and] puṇḍarīka flowers, [with] various colours [and] lights magnificent, fully cover [their] waters above.
彼诸菩萨，及声闻众，若入宝池，意欲令水没足，水即没足。欲令至膝，即至于膝。欲令至腰，水即至腰。欲令至颈，水即至颈。欲令灌身，自然灌身。欲令还复，水辄还复。调和冷暖，自然随意。
All those Bodhisattvas and Voice-Hearers’ assemblies, if entering [the] treasure ponds, [with the] wish desiring [to] enable [the] water [to] cover [the] feet, [the] water immediately covers [the] feet. Desiring [to] enable reach [of the] knees, immediately [with] reaching of [the] knees. Desiring [to] enable reach [of the] waist, [the] water immediately reaches [the] waist. Desiring [to] enable reach [of the] neck, [the] water immediately reaches [the] neck. Desiring [to] enable pouring [over the] body, naturally pouring [over the] body. Desiring [to] enable return again, [the] water immediately returns again. Harmonious [in] coolness [and] warmth, naturally [and] accordingly [as] wished.
开神悦体，荡除心垢。清明澄洁，净若无形。宝沙映彻，无深不照。微澜回流，转相灌注。安详徐逝，不迟不疾。波扬无量自然妙声，随其所应，莫不闻者。
Opening up [the] consciousness [and] delighting [the] body, washing [to] eliminate [the] mind’s defilements. Clear [and] bright, still [and] clean, pure [as] if without form. Treasure sands shine through, [with] no depths not illuminated. Little ripples return [in] flow, [in] turn pouring into one another. Serenely [and] gently departing, neither slowly nor quickly. [With] ripples propagating immeasurable natural [and] wonderful sounds, that according [to] them respond, [with] none not hearing them.
或闻佛声，或闻法声，或闻僧声，或寂静声、空无我声、大慈悲声、波罗蜜声，或十力无畏不共法声、诸通慧声、无所作声、不起灭声、无生忍声，乃至甘露灌顶，众妙法声。如是等声，称其所闻，欢喜无量。随顺清净离欲寂灭真实之义，随顺三宝力无所畏不共之法，随顺通慧菩萨声闻所行之道。无有三塗苦难之名，但有自然快乐之音。是故其国，名曰安乐。
Perhaps hearing Buddhas’ sounds, perhaps hearing [the] Dharma’s sounds, perhaps hearing [the] Saṃgha’s sounds, perhaps tranquillity’s sounds, emptiness [and] non-self’s sounds, great loving-kindness [and] compassion’s sounds, pāramitās’ sounds, perhaps [the] Ten Powers, Fearlessnesses [and] Uncommon Dharmas’ sounds, all [supernormal] powers [and] wisdom’s sounds, without that [with] doing’s sounds, non-arising [and] ceasing’s sounds, Non-Arising Forbearance’s sounds, and even ambrosia anointments, all wonderful Dharmas’ sounds. Such [and] other sounds, suit those [who] hear them, [who have] joy immeasurable. Accordingly complying [with the] true meaning of pure departure [from] desires’ tranquillity [and] extinguishment, accordingly complying [with the] Triple Gem, Powers, Fearlessnesses [and] Uncommon Dharmas, accordingly complying [with the] paths of [supernormal] powers [and] wisdom, that Bodhisattvas [and] Voice-Hearers practise. Not having names of [the] three paths, [their] suffering [and] difficulties, only having [the] sounds of natural happiness [and] bliss. Therefore, that land [is] named “Peace [And] Bliss”.
