Before the Buddha, each made this vow: 'After the Bhagavat's parinirvāṇa, we will protect and uphold the Buddhadharma and cause it to be widely distributed throughout the realms of the ten directions so that it is never cut off. Why is this? We now behold the Tathāgata's inconceivable, wondrously colored radiant light—and within that light, we are all able to hear the inconceivable Buddhadharma. Having heard the Dharma, we are freed from mental hindrances, our binding fetters are extinguished forever, and body and mind are purified—shining like heavenly gold, illuminating the myriad types [of beings]. Because we contemplate such benefits of merit, we give rise to the thought of the Great Teacher and the thought of a compassionate father toward the Tathāgata. We constantly remember the Buddha's kindness and shall repay the Buddha's kindness. Why is this? Having been able to hear the saddharma, before long we shall sit on the bodhimaṇḍa, turn the wheel of the saddharma, and liberate all sentient beings, causing all of them, by hearing the Dharma, to achieve anuttarasamyaksaṃbodhi.'
