ཆོས་གནས་པ་རྣམ་པར་ཕྱེ་བ་ཡང་རབ་ཏུ་མཁྱེན་ཏོ། ། དབུགས་ཕྱི་ནང་དུ་རྒྱུ་བ་ཡང་རབ་ཏུ་མཁྱེན་ཏོ། ། ཟས་ཀྱི་མཆོག་གི་ལོངས་སྤྱོད་ཀྱང་རབ་ཏུ་མཁྱེན་ཏོ། ། སེམས་ཅན་ཐམས་ཅད་ཀྱི་འདས་པའི་རྣམ་པ་དང་། ཤི་འཕོ་བ་དང་། སྐྱེ་བ་ཡང་དེ་བཞིན་གཤེགས་པས་རབ་ཏུ་མཁྱེན་ཏོ། ། དབང་པོ་ཐ་དད་པ་དང་། སྤྱོད་པ་ཐ་དད་པ་དང་། བསམ་པ་ཐ་དད་པའང་རབ་ཏུ་མཁྱེན་ཏོ། །
“Moreover, Śāriputra, the Tathāgata’s vision of knowledge has unimpeded and unobstructed access to the future. The Tathāgata knows all the tathāgatas who in the future will appear or disappear, who will come into existence or not come into existence. The Tathāgata knows the fires that will burn at the end of an eon, the waters that will churn and the winds that will rage. He knows the buddha fields that will manifest, the earth element that will be present within these buddha fields, the minute particles of dust that will exist, and the grass, bushes, herbs, and woods that will grow there. He knows the constellations of stars that will be there. He knows the lords, the buddhas, who will appear in the buddha fields, each and every one. He knows the pratyekabuddhas, the śrāvakas, and the bodhisatvas who will appear. He knows the edible enjoyments, the in-breaths and the out-breaths, the journeys, the dwellings, and the spiritual practices that will appear. He knows the sentient beings who, being within the vast range of influence of any of the many tathāgatas, will be liberated through the Pratyekabuddhayāna or the Śrāvakayāna, and he knows the sentient beings who will be liberated through the Mahāyāna. He knows all this. He knows the places, the buddha fields—each and every one—where sentient beings will take birth, and the minds and mental states that appear and will appear. The Tathāgata knows all this. Even though the Tathāgata knows all this, the Tathāgata’s future mental stability is not disturbed. With this insight into the future, the Tathāgata teaches sentient beings. This, Śāriputra, is the seventeenth of the Tathāgata’s unique buddha qualities.
