They will be undeluded in this regard until reaching final awakening. When they die, ten million buddhas will come from the east and reveal themselves, and the same will occur from all other directions. They will retain the Dharma that these blessed buddhas teach. Until they reach awakening they will not lose this Dharma way. Having worked to turn away from cyclic existence for five hundred eons starting from the time they began as bodhisattvas, they will reach unsurpassed and perfect awakening.”
The Blessed One then expressed this in verse:
“Hearing the name of this protector,
The lord of humans, the world protector,
They will eliminate five hundred eons
Of cyclic existence.
“When death comes to those noble sons and daughters,
Millions of buddhas will appear to them.
Having seen them, paying homage with their faculties,
They will listen to the Dharma and retain it.
“When they hear that thus-gone one’s name
And engage in sacred practice,
They will not waste the Dharma taught by them—
Even for millions of eons.
“By proclaiming the name of this buddha,
They will attain seventy thousand
Absorptions known as precious,
And they will proclaim millions of virtues.
“Those who apprehend the name of this sage
Will come to abide
In countless millions
Plus sixty million absorptions.
“Thus, when heroes of equilibrium
Engage in bodhisattva conduct,
They establish many thousands of beings
In supreme awakening.
“Until reaching perfect awakening,
They will not engage in desirous conduct.
The beings to whom they teach the name of this buddha
Will also turn away from desire.
“Those who hear the name of this buddha
