one will be loathed by one’s paternal and maternal relatives and the noble ones; one will ardently embrace what is not the true Dharma; one ardently abandons the true Dharma; one will not want to pay attention to the experts; one will indolent regarding what one should be careful about; one will be far away from nirvāṇa; one will do and accumulate actions that lead to intoxication; ³³⁶ and after one has died, one will fall into the lower realms of existence, into evil destinies—one will be reborn in the hell realms.  
  
³³⁷“There are ten³³⁸ blessings of paying homage at a tathāgata’s stūpa with one’s palms joined in reverence.³³⁹ What are the ten? One will obtain birth in a distinguished family,³⁴⁰ an excellent body, and a large entourage of servants, and one will receive plentiful offerings and veneration; one will obtain extensive wealth, great erudition, great faith, an excellent fragrance, great intelligence, and great wisdom. These are the ten blessings of paying homage at a tathāgata’s stūpa with one’s palms joined in reverence.³⁴¹  
  
“There are ten blessings of prostrating³⁴² to a tathāgata’s stūpa. What are the ten? One’s body will be pleasing and will have a color like that of gold; it will be attractive and lovely to behold; one will have a pleasant voice, and one’s words will be creditable;  one will move fearlessly in an assembly; one will be dear to gods and humans; one will be a very charismatic person with considerable prestige;³⁴³ the buddha-bhagavāns, the bodhisattvas, and the Buddha’s hearers will be one’s company; one will have great prosperity; one will be reborn in heaven; and one will quickly attain complete nirvāṇa. These are the ten blessings of prostrating at a tathāgata’s stūpa.  
  
³⁴⁴“There are ten blessings of sweeping at a tathāgata’s stūpa. What are the ten? One’s body will be pleasing, a pleasure to look at, and beautiful, and one will have a pleasant voice; one’s attachment, hatred, and ignorance
