「便於如來所成於信根，根本不移，豎高顯幢，不可移動。諸天、龍、神、阿須倫、沙門、婆羅門，或世人民，於中得歡喜，心意便正。此是如來、至真、等正覺、明行成為、善逝、世間解、無上士、道法御、天人師，號佛、眾祐，於中得歡喜，心意便正，亦復成就於法。如來法者，甚為清淨，不可移動，人所愛敬。如是智者當作是觀，便於中而得歡喜，亦復成就於眾。如來聖眾甚為清淨，性行純和，法法成就，戒成就、三昧成就、智慧成就、解脫成就、解脫見慧成就。聖眾者，四雙八輩，此是如來聖眾，可愛可貴，實可承事。於中得歡喜，心意便正。

“He then achieves the faculty of faith in the Tathāgata. Having planted a sturdy and tall banner, he’s unmoved by gods, nāgas, spirits, asuras, ascetics, priests, or worldly people. Having attained that joy, his mind is proper.

“‘This is the Tathāgata, Arhat, Completely Awakened One, Complete in Wisdom and Conduct, the Well Gone One, Understander of the World, the Unsurpassed Man, Trainer in the Path and Dharma, and Teacher of Gods and Humans, who is called a Buddha, a Bhagavān.’ Having attained that joy, his mind is proper.

“He accomplishes this regarding the Dharma: ‘The Tathāgata’s Dharma is quite pure, unchanging, and loved and respected by people.’ The wise should observe it in this way. Having attained that joy, [his mind is proper.]

“He also accomplishes this regarding the Saṅgha: ‘The Tathāgata’s Saṅgha is quite pure. In disposition and conduct, they are in harmony. They accomplish one thing and the next, accomplish the precepts, accomplish samādhi, accomplish wisdom, accomplish liberation, and accomplish seeing and knowing liberation. The Noble Saṅgha has four pairs and eight ranks. This is the Tathāgata’s noble Saṅgha that’s cherished, worthy of trust, and worthy of service.’ Attaining that joy, his mind is proper.
