"‘They will sit in the place of enlightenment and be born in the household of all Buddhas.’" "Sitting in the place of enlightenment" means attaining Buddhahood. The place where one attains the Way is therefore called the "place of enlightenment" (bodhimaṇḍa). All Buddhas sit cross-legged beneath the bodhi tree, severing delusions, crushing Māra, and attaining the Way. The Dharma body is of one substance, jointly realized by all Buddhas; hence it is the "household of the Buddhas." The "Chapter on Mahāsthāmaprāpta" says: "Not far from the Buddha." The Smaller Sūtra says: "All will attain non-retrogression from anuttarā-samyak-saṃbodhi." These all share this meaning. Third, entrusting for remembering and upholding.
