Maitreya Bodhisattva arose from his seat, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and said to the Buddha, "I remember when, as many Kalpas ago as there are fine motes of dust, a Buddha named Light-of-Sun-Moon-Lamp appeared in the world. Under that Buddha I left the home life; yet I was deeply committed to worldly fame and liked to fraternize with people of good family.
"Then the World Honored One taught me to cultivate consciousness-only concentration, and I entered that Samadhi. For many aeons I have made use of that Samadhi as I performed deeds for as many Buddha as there are sands in the Ganges. My seeking for worldly name and fame ceased completely and never recurred.
"When Burning Lamp Buddha appeared in the world, I finally accomplished the unsurpassed, wonderfully perfect Samadhi of consciousness.
"I went on until, to the ends of emptiness, all the lands of the Thus Come One, whether pure or defiled, existent or non-existent, were transformations appearing from within my own mind.
"World Honored One, because I understand consciousness-only thus, the nature of consciousness reveals limitless Thus Come One. Now I have received the prediction that I will be the next to take the Buddha's place.
"The Buddha asks about perfect penetration. I was intent upon the contemplation that the ten directions come only from consciousness. When the conscious mind is perfect and bright, one enters the perfection of the real. One leaves behind reliance on others and attachment to incessant calculating and attains the patience with the non-production of Dharmas. This is the foremost method." :)
