English: But good men, it has been immeasurable, boundless hundreds, thousands, ten thousands, millions of nayutas of kalpas since I in fact attained Buddhahood;" and the following continues.

English: "Suppose a person were to take five hundred, a thousand, ten thousand, a million nayuta asamkhya thousand-million-fold worlds and grind them to dust."
Japanese: 「たとえば、五百千万億那由他阿僧祇の三千大千世界を、仮に人ありて抹（す）りて微塵となす。」

Japanese: 「かくの如く、この微塵が尽きんが如き（無くなるまで）、東に行くとする。」
English: "Suppose, for example, that someone took all the earth particles in the thousand-million-fold world and ground them up to make ink powder, and as he passed through the thousand lands of the east, he dropped one grain of the ink powder."
Japanese: 「たとえば、三千大千世界のあらゆる地種を、仮に人ありて磨（す）りて墨となし、東方の千の国土を過ぎて、乃ち一点を下さん。]
English: In response, the 'five hundred, a thousand, ten thousand, a million nayuta asamkhya worlds' according to Juryo-hon (Honmon, or the last fourteen chapters of the Lotus Sutra) came to be called "gohyaku (oku) jin-tengo" (fifty billion Dust Particle Kalpas) to suggest that it was infinitely farther than the "sanzen jin-tengo" (three thousand Dust Particle Kalpas) according to Kejoyuhon (Shakumon, or the first fourteen chapters of the Lotus Sutra).
Japanese: これに対し、寿量品（本門）の「五百千万億那由他阿僧祇」を、五百（億）塵点劫と称して、化城喩品（迹門）の三千塵点劫よりもはるかに長遠であるかが示されるようになった。
English: It seems that the "gohyaku jin-tengo" was quoted only as a metaphor in the Lotus Sutra; however, Nichiren (founder of the Nichiren sect) gave the meaning of kaigon-ken-non (discarding the assumption that Shakyamuni attained enlightenment for the first time in India and revealing that he originally gained enlightenment in the immensely distant past) to the word "gohyaku jin-tengo" by saying things like "for as long as gohyaku jin-tengo, this land has been ruled by Buddha;" thus it came to be interpreted as the time of actual enlightenment of Buddha.
Japanese: この五百塵点劫は、法華経の経文を読む限りでは、たとえ話として引用しているだけであるが、日蓮は釈迦御所領御書などで、「過去五百塵点劫より、このかた、この娑婆世界は釈迦菩薩の御進退の国土なり」などと、五百塵点劫の言葉に開近顕遠の意味を持たせたことから、釈尊が本当に覚った時と解釈されるようになった。
English: After Nichiren's death, however, some of his disciples argued that Buddha was honbutsu (principal object of worship) while some others argued that Nichiren was honbutsu, due to split among disciples, etc.
Japanese: しかし日蓮の死後、弟子の対立などで釈迦を本仏とするか、日蓮を本仏とするか分かれた。
English: For example, Komon school, which preached goju sotai (five successive levels of comparison set forth by Nichiren) and montei hichin (literally, "hidden in the depths of the text"), combined the term "gohyaku jin-tengo" with the words," I have followed Bodhisattva's Path and attained a life which has not ended yet," also from Juryo-hon, and treated the same as referring to the time of "yushiyushu" (literally, "every beginning has an end") as realized by Buddha.
Japanese: 五重相対や文底秘沈を説く興門派などは、この五百塵点劫と、同じく寿量品の「我れ本の菩薩道を行じて成せし所の寿命は、今も猶（なお）未だ尽きず」を組み合わせて、釈迦が覚った有始有終の時を示す経文と捉えた。

Japanese: だが、行基の指導による墾田開発や社会事業の進展や地方豪族や民衆らを中心とした教団の拡大を抑えきれなかったこと、行基の活動が政府が恐れていた「反政府」的な意図を有したものではないことから、731年（天平3年）禁圧を緩め、翌年河内の狭山下池の築造に行基の技術力や農民動員の力量を利用した。

Japanese: 行基の活動と国家からの弾圧に関しては、奈良時代において具体的な僧尼令違反を理由に処分されたのは行基のみと言われている。
English: It was suspected, therefore, for the activities and crack-down by the Government, that there may have been relation to, and influence on, the activities of Sangaikyo (Sanjiejao), a cult that dominated in the same period in China, and the crack-down by the Tang Dynasty Government.
Japanese: そのため、それぞれに対して、同時代の中国で席捲していた三階教教団の活動と唐朝の弾圧との関連や影響関係が指摘されている。
