endless bhikṣus and bhikṣuṇīs attained the pure Dharma eyes regarding phenomena; and innumerable beings developed the enlightenment mind.

Then, at that time, the Bhagavat spoke this verse:

“The Dharma of the jinas⁵⁹⁰ repels saṃsāra.
It is profound, vast, supreme, and difficult to see.
Those who are blind, obscured by desire,
Do not see it and therefore acquire suffering.”

That great multitude then rose up together from their seats, bowed their heads to the Buddha’s feet, and said to the Buddha, “Bhagavat, wherever someone teaches,⁵⁹¹ reads, and recites this Supremely Victorious King of Sūtras, the Sublime Golden Light, we and the rest of this multitude will go there and be the assembly that listens. We will benefit that preceptor who teaches the Dharma, and make him blissful and happy, free of obscurations, and relaxed in body and mind. We and the others will sincerely make offerings to him and make the multitudes who listen happy.⁵⁹²

“We will make that land have no enemies, terror, fear, harm, famine, or tribulations. We will cause the people of that land to multiply and spread. We will not allow devas, nonhumans,⁵⁹³ or other beings to trample, walk, make dirty, and so on, the area that is the location of that Dharma teaching. Why is that? Because that place where the Dharma is taught is a shrine, and so we will offer incense, flowers, flags, and parasols to it. We and others will always protect it and keep it free from deterioration and decay.”⁵⁹⁴

Then the Bhagavat said to that multitude, “Noble ones, if you and others should meditate diligently on this supreme sūtra, then this sublime Dharma will remain for a long time in this world.”
