| 摘要 | The Fortunate Aeon, the first English translation of the Bhadrakalpika Sutra, recounts the stories of the thousand Buddhas who will reach enlightenment in this fortunate era (Bhadrakalpa). Shakyamuni, fourth Buddha of the fortunate era, offers detailed descriptions of the nature of enlightenment, the practice of the perfections, and the inner qualities of different samadhis. Thought nearly unknown in the West, this Sutra is beloved by all Buddhist schools. An essential text for understanding the true vastness of the Mahayana vision. Expressive, readable English translation, a valuable resource for students of Tibetan language. An elegant four-volume edition with Tibetan text on facing pages, and 1,174 blockprint Buddha images in gold. From Vol. III "The Extensive Teaching on the 1,000 Buddhas.": The Tathagata Aksobhya will be born in the place called Land of Light. He will be of princely descent, and his light will extend for seven thousand yojanas. His father's name will be Abiding Love; his mother's, Persevering by Means of Compassion. His son will be known as Imperturable; his principal attendant will be known as Mind of Serenity. The follower foremost in wisdom will be known as Unerring; the follower foremost in miraculous abilities will be known as Genuinely Noble Virtue. He will hold 16 assemblies, each numbering 34 times 10 million. His life will span 86,000 years, and the holy Dharma will remain a further 14,000 years. His relics will be extensive. |
