大方便佛報恩經 2.6

2.6

爾時釋迦如來告一切大眾言：「是七十大菩薩摩訶薩，久於過去無量百千萬億微塵數阿僧祇劫中，已曾供養無量百千萬億恒河沙世界微塵數諸佛，於諸佛所常修梵行，供養諸佛，心不疲惓；以慈修身，善護佛法；不捨大悲，常於十方利益一切。若有眾生臨命終時，若聞一菩薩名，若二、若三、若四，乃至七十，稱名歸命者，命終即得往生有佛國土，蓮華化生，遠離婬欲；不處胞胎，離諸臭穢；其身清淨，有妙香氣；眾所恭敬，人所愛念。為人所恭敬愛念故，其心歡喜；以歡喜心故，即能發於阿耨多羅三藐三菩提心；以發阿耨多羅三藐三菩提心，能於一切眾生起大慈悲心；以發慈悲心已，次亦生於利益眾生心；以能利益眾生心已，復能發於不捨眾生心、利益眾生心、自利利彼心、滅除障礙心、寂靜煩惱心、能親近善友常生恭敬心、專意聽法心、憶持不忘思惟妙義心、願少聞多解義心、不願於多聞而不解義心；次生信如心、信如實義心；以生如實義心已，次生如說修行心；以生如說修行心已，次生不退轉心；以生不退轉心已，於諸眾生即生等對治心：

At that time, the Tathāgata Śākyamuni addressed the entire great assembly, saying: 'These seventy great bodhisattva-mahāsattvas, long ago in the past through immeasurable hundreds of thousands of myriads of koṭis of dust-mote-like numbers of asaṃkhyeya kalpas, have already made offerings to immeasurable hundreds of thousands of myriads of koṭis of dust-mote-like numbers of Buddhas across Ganges-sands of worlds. In the presence of those Buddhas, they constantly practiced brahmacarya and made offerings to those Buddhas without weariness in mind. Cultivating themselves with loving-kindness, they skillfully protected the Buddhadharma; not abandoning great compassion, they constantly benefited all [beings] throughout the ten directions. If there are sentient beings who, approaching the end of their lives, hear the name of even one bodhisattva, or two, or three, or four, up to seventy, and recite their names taking refuge in them, then at the end of their lives they will immediately attain rebirth in a land where a Buddha resides, being born by transformation from a lotus flower and keeping far away from lustful desire; they will not dwell in a womb, being free from foul impurities; their bodies will be pure, with wondrous fragrance; they will be revered by the multitudes and loved by people. Because of being revered and loved by people, their minds will be joyful; through a joyful mind, they will be able to arouse the mind set on anuttarasamyaksaṃbodhi; through arousing the mind set on anuttarasamyaksaṃbodhi, they will be able to give rise to great loving-kindness and compassion toward all sentient beings; having aroused loving-kindness and compassion, next they will give rise to the intention to benefit sentient beings; having gained the intention to benefit sentient beings, they will further be able to arouse the intention not to abandon sentient beings, the intention to benefit sentient beings, the intention to benefit oneself and benefit others, the intention to extinguish hindrances, the intention to pacify afflictions, the intention to approach good spiritual friends and constantly revere them, the intention to listen single-mindedly to the Dharma, the intention to remember and not forget while contemplating the wondrous meaning, the intention to wish to hear little yet understand much meaning, and the intention not to wish to hear much without understanding the meaning; next, they will give rise to the intention to have faith in Suchness, and the intention to have faith in the real meaning; having given rise to the intention toward the real meaning, next they will give rise to the intention to practice as taught; having given rise to the intention to practice as taught, next they will give rise to the intention of non-retrogression; having given rise to the intention of non-retrogression, toward all sentient beings they will immediately give rise to the mind of equal antidotes:
