二、得因利中復二：初得出世因、後得世間因。出世因利有十五類。一、〈壽量品〉有二，云「爾時會中三萬二千天子皆發阿耨菩提之心。」二、又云「說是如來壽量品時，無量無數無邊眾生皆發阿耨菩提之心。」三、〈懺悔品〉云「若有善男子善女人聞是寶王大光照如來名號者，於菩薩地得不退轉，至大涅槃。」時會既聞，明得此益。四、品末云「時諸大眾聞佛說已，皆蒙勝益，歡喜奉行。」五、〈淨地陀羅尼品〉云「說是法時，三萬億菩薩摩訶薩得無生法忍。」六、又云「無量諸菩薩不退菩提心。」七、又云「無量無邊苾芻苾芻尼得法眼淨。」八、又云「無量眾生發菩薩心。」九、〈蓮華喻讚品〉云「大眾聞是說，皆發菩提心，願現在未來，常依此懺悔。」十、〈重顯空性品〉云「時諸大眾聞佛說此甚深空性，有無量眾生悉能了達四大五蘊體性俱空、六根六境妄生繫縛，願捨輪迴正修出離。」十一、〈依空滿願品〉云「說是法時，有三千億菩薩於阿耨菩提得不退轉。」十二、又云「會中有五十億苾芻行菩薩行，欲退菩提，聞如意寶光燿菩薩說是法時，皆得堅固不可思議滿足上願，更復發菩提之心。」十三、〈四天王護國品〉云「無量無邊眾生登出離道，不復退轉，速證菩提。」具如前引。十四、〈流水品〉云「汝等皆應勤求出離，勿為放逸。大眾聞已悉皆悟解，由大慈悲救護一切，勤修苦行方能證獲無上菩提，咸發深心，信受歡喜。」十五、〈捨身品〉云「說是往昔因緣之時，無量阿僧企耶人天大眾皆大歡喜，歎未曾有，悉發阿耨菩提之心。」

Second, within the attainment of casual benefits, there are again two: first, attaining supramundane causes, and second, attaining mundane causes. The supramundane casual benefits comprise fifteen categories. 1. In the "Chapter on the Lifespan," there are two: it says, "At that time, in the assembly, thirty-two thousand devaputras all gave rise to the aspiration for anuttarā [samyak]sambodhi." 2. It also says, "When this 'Chapter on the Tathāgata's Lifespan' was preached, immeasurable, countless, and boundless sentient beings all gave rise to the aspiration for anuttarā [samyak]sambodhi." 3. The "Chapter on Repentance" says, "If any good man or good woman hears the name of this Tathāgata Ratnarājamahāprabhāsa, they will attain non-retrogression on the bodhisattva grounds, up to mahānirvāṇa." Since those in the assembly at that time heard it, it is clear they attained this benefit. 4. At the end of that chapter, it says, "At that time, the great assembly, having heard the Buddha's preaching, all received superior benefits, rejoiced, and practiced accordingly." 5. The "Chapter on the Dhāraṇī for Purifying the Bhūmis" says, "When this Dharma was preached, thirty thousand billion bodhisattva-mahāsattvas attained anutpattikadharmakṣānti." 6. It also says, "Immeasurable bodhisattvas did not regress from the aspiration for bodhi." 7. It also says, "Immeasurable and boundless bhikṣus and bhikṣuṇīs attained dharmacakṣurviśuddhi." 8. It also says, "Immeasurable sentient beings gave rise to the bodhisattva mind." 9. The "Chapter on the Lotus-Metaphor Praise" says, "When the great assembly heard this teaching, they all gave rise to the aspiration for bodhi, vowing to always rely on this repentance in the present and the future." 10. The "Chapter on Re-illuminating Emptiness" says, "At that time, when the great assembly heard the Buddha preach this profound emptiness, there were immeasurable sentient beings who were all able to thoroughly comprehend that the nature of the four great elements and five skandhas is entirely empty, and that the six sense organs and six sense objects falsely give rise to bondage; they vowed to abandon saṃsāra and genuinely cultivate renunciation." 11. The "Chapter on Fulfilling Vows by Relying on Emptiness" says, "When this Dharma was preached, three thousand billion bodhisattvas attained non-retrogression in anuttarā [samyak]sambodhi." 12. It also says, "In the assembly there were five billion bhikṣus practicing the bodhisattva path who wished to regress from bodhi; hearing Bodhisattva Ratnacandrodbhāsa preach this Dharma, they all attained firm, inconceivable fulfillment of their supreme vows and once again gave rise to the aspiration for bodhi." 13. The "Chapter on the Four Heavenly Kings Protecting the State" says, "Immeasurable and boundless sentient beings ascended the path of renunciation, never again regressed, and quickly realized bodhi," fully as cited above. 14. The "Chapter on Jalavāhana" says, "You should all diligently seek renunciation and not be negligent. Having heard this, the great assembly all awakened and understood that by great compassion one rescues and protects all, and only by diligently practicing austerities can one realize and attain unexcelled bodhi; they all gave rise to a deep mind, faithfully accepted it, and rejoiced." 15. The "Chapter on Sacrificing the Body" says, "When these past causes and conditions were preached, immeasurable asaṃkhyeyas of humans and devas in the great assembly all greatly rejoiced, marveled at what was unprecedented, and all gave rise to the aspiration for anuttarā [samyak]sambodhi."
