And who are patient, peaceful, and self-controlled:  
They will all of them attain enlightenment. {77}  
  
“Those who make offerings to the relics  
Of the jinas who have passed into nirvāṇa,  
And have built countless thousands of stūpas  
That are made of jewels, gold, and silver, {78}  
  
“And of crystals, and of emeralds,  
That are made from pearls and chrysoberyls,  
Of the best beryls and likewise sapphires:  
They will all of them attain enlightenment. {79}  
  
“Also those who make stūpas out of stone,  
Those who make them from sandalwood and agarwood,  
Those who make stūpas out of deodar cedar,  
Those who make them from a combination of woods, {80}  
  
“And those who with delight make stūpas of jinas  
From bricks or build them from clay,¹³⁶  
And those who for that purpose create them  
In remote forests from piles of earth, {81}  
  
“And those children playing here and there  
Who pile up sand  
So as to create stūpas of the jinas:  
They will all of them attain enlightenment.¹³⁷ {82}  
  
“Similarly those who have others work  
In order to create the precious images  
Of statues that possess the thirty-two signs:  
They will all of them attain enlightenment. {83}  
  
“Those who make them from the seven precious materials,  
Those who make them from copper and bronze,  
Those who have made statues of the sugatas:  
They will all of them attain enlightenment. {84}  
  
“Those who have representations of the sugatas made  
From lead, from iron, or from clay,  
Or beautifully painted on cloth:¹³⁸  
They will all of them attain enlightenment. {85}  
  
“Those who paint their representations in murals,  
Their entire bodies with a hundred signs of merit,  
Whether they paint them themselves or have others do so:  
They will all of them attain enlightenment. {86}

Who in learning, or for their own amusement  
Or to entertain others, draw those images
