For the practice: in the second, third, or eighth month, begin cultivating the samādhi of buddha-mindfulness during the śuklapakṣa. From the eighth to the fifteenth day, one will see the Buddha sitting on a lotus flower. At the three times of day and three times of night, make offerings with fine fragrant flowers, and one will definitely see the Tathāgata seated on a lotus throne preaching the Dharma, attain dhāraṇī, attain mindfulness and wisdom, have firm mental awareness, and attain knowledge of past lives up to parinirvāṇa. All sūtras and all crafts and undertakings—one will be able to fully comprehend all such things. One will attain a pure mind, [transcending all] except the four noble truths. Why is this? This Dharma can encompass all that is with outflows. As for those who uphold, read, and recite this dhāraṇī, wherever they are born they will never fall into the wretched destinies and will always encounter buddhas. In life after life they will always be fully endowed with the seven treasures and will not be born lowly. In life after life they will encounter buddhas and bodhisattvas; in life after life they will never forget the mind of bodhi; roaming through the worlds of the ten directions, they will always see the Buddhas, the World-Honoured Ones, and will always obtain what they wish.
