will be purified. In a single day, they will come to possess the root of virtue equal to that accumulated by one hundred thousand one hundred million tens of millions of buddhas. When their time of death has come, the buddhas and bodhisattvas will care for them, and, after they die, they will be born in Sukhāvatī.

“Thus, it goes without saying that the obscurations of whoever upholds, recites, focuses upon, and maintains it without relenting will be purified. They will close the doors to the lower realms and they will be very far away from lower rebirths and the lower realms.

“Any person who recites it once
In the morning when they wake,
And who fears the next life,
Will be free from all the misdeeds they have committed.

“Rākṣasas and the like, thieves,
Weapons, and enemies will not strike them,
They will be liberated from untimely death,
And they will always have good fortune.

“When their time of death has come,
They will be very far from the lower realms,
The buddhas will care for them, and
They will be reborn in Sukhāvatī.”

When he had said that, the world with its gods, humans, asuras, and gandharvas rejoiced and praised him.
