寿量品第二
CHAPTER ON THE MEASURE OF LIFE OF THE TATHAGATA
尔时王舍城中，有菩萨摩诃萨名曰信相，已曾供养过去无量亿那由他百千诸佛，种诸善根。
Moreover, at that time, at that period, in the great city of Rajagrha there dwelled the Bodhisattva called Ruciraketu, a great being, who had rendered service to a previous Buddha, who had planted merit-roots, and who was revered by many hundreds of thousands of millions of Buddhas.
是信相菩萨作是思惟，何因何缘，释迦如来寿命短促方八十年，
Thus it occurred to him: " What is the cause, what is the reason, why the Lord Sakyamuni had such a short measure of life as eighty years? "'
复更念言，如佛所说有二因缘寿命得长，何等为二，
Then it occurred thus to him : " It has indeed been said by the Lord: " There are two causes, two reasons for long life.
What are the two?
而我世尊，于无量百千亿那由他阿僧祇劫，修不杀戒，
Now for many incalculable hundreds of thousands of millions of aeons the Lord Sakyamuni refrained from killing living beings.
具足十善，饮食惠施不可限量，乃至己身骨髓肉血，充足饱满飢饿众生，况余饮食，
He not only adhered to the course of action consisting in the ten merit-roots but he also gave up to beings food, and internal and external objects, until finally hungry beings were satisfied by the flesh, blood, bones and marrow of his own body, how much more by other food.
大士如是至心念佛、思是义时，其室自然广博严事，天绀琉璃，种种众宝，杂厕间错，以成其地，犹如如来所居净土，有妙香气过诸天香，烟云垂布遍满其室，
Now while this good man was thinking this and similar thoughts of mindfulness and concentration on the Buddha, his house became vast (and) extensive, made of beryl, adorned with numerous divine jewels, a transformation due to the Tathagata, filled with perfumes surpassing those of the gods.
其室四面，各有四宝上妙高座自然而出，
And in that house in the four directions there appeared four seats made of divine jewels.
纯以天衣而为敷具，是妙座上，各有诸佛，所受用华，众宝合成。
And on those seats mats made of divine jewels and line cotton cloth appeared spread out.
And on those mats appeared divine lotuses adorned with numerous jewels, transformations due to the Tathagata.
