The Lotus sutra – translated by Burton Watson

At that time Shakyamuni Buddha emitted a beam of bright light from the knob of flesh [on top of his head], one of the features of a great man, and also emitted a beam of light from the tuft of white hair between his eyebrows, illuminating the Buddha worlds in the eastern direction equal in number to the sands of one hundred eighty thousand million nayutas of Ganges.

Beyond these numerous worlds was a world called Adorned with Pure Light.

In this realm there was a Buddha named Pure Flower Constellation King Wisdom Thus Come One, worthy of offerings, of right and universal knowledge, perfect clarity and conduct, well gone, understanding the world, unexcelled worthy, trainer of people, teacher of heavenly and human beings, Buddha, world-Honored one.

An immeasurably and boundlessly great multitude of bodhisattvas surrounded him and paid reverence, and for these he preached the Law. The beam of bright light from the white tuft of Shakyamuni Buddha illuminated the whole land.

With that, Bodhisattva Wonderful Sound vanished from his own land and, accompanied by eighty-four thousand bodhisattvas, appeared here [in the saha world]. The lands that he passed through on his way quaked and trembled in six different ways, and in all of them seven-jeweled lotus flowers rained down and the instruments of hundreds and thousands of heavenly musicians sounded of themselves without having been struck.

This bodhisattva's eyes were as big and broad as the leaves of the blue lotus, and a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand moons put together could not surpass the perfection of his face. His body was pure gold in colour, adorned with immeasurable hundreds and thousands of blessings. His dignity and virtue were splendid, his light shone brilliantly, he was endowed with many special marks and as stalwart in body as Narayana.
