From the Avīci Hell Avīci: The lowest and most agonizing level of the Buddhist hells, where suffering is said to be "uninterrupted."
Up to the Peak of Being Akanistha: The highest heaven in the Realm of Form, representing the topmost point of the material universe.,
Within all the worlds therein,
The sentient beings of the six paths The six realms of rebirth: gods, asuras (demigods), humans, animals, hungry ghosts, and hell-beings. This light reveals the totality of the cycle of reincarnation (Samsara).—
The destinations to which they go in birth and death,
The karmic conditions of their good and evil deeds,
And the retributions they receive, whether fair or foul—
All of these are fully seen here.
Moreover, I see the Buddhas,
The Holy Lords, the Lions among men original: 師子 (shīzi). A common metaphor for the Buddha, comparing his fearless preaching to the roar of a lion that silences all other beasts.,
Expounding the scriptures,

Their voices are pure,
Emitting soft and gentle tones,
Teaching countless billions of Bodhisattvas Spiritual seekers who have taken a vow to attain enlightenment for the sake of all sentient beings..
Their Brahma-sounds Brahma-voice: A divine, pure voice possessed by a Buddha, characterized by its clarity, depth, and ability to be understood by all listeners regardless of their language. are profound and marvelous,
Filling all who hear them with joy,
As in each of their own worlds,
They proclaim the True Dharma Saddharma: The authentic, correct teachings of the Buddha that lead to liberation from suffering..
