45.9

May he also teach us how he has a tathāgata’s miraculous manifestation of entering into the existences of beings. May he also teach us how he receives the offerings of beings for a tathāgata. May he also teach us how he has a tathāgata’s miracle of teaching merit and offerings⁷⁷ to all beings. May he also teach us how the Tathāgata has created the perceived image of a buddha within the mental processes of all beings. May he also teach us how the Tathāgata has created magical manifestations for all beings. May he also teach us how the Tathāgata has created the magical appearances of teachings and instructions for all beings. May he also teach us the Tathāgata’s manifestations of the inconceivable range of the samādhis of buddhahood for all beings.”
