All phenomena that originate from causes,  
The Tathāgata has taught these causes;  
And also that which puts a stop to these causes,  
This too has been taught by the Great Śramaṇa.

Reciting this essence once will purify all misdeeds and pacify and avert all forms of adversity. An object that is focused upon while reciting this will become a form of the buddha or a support of veneration. An offering that is focused upon while reciting this will become the equivalent of a gift that fills the entire world.
