First, merely being able to be undaunted in this manner will certainly result in receiving a prophecy from a Tathāgata at another time, just as the Buddha Ratnagarbha stated that Śākyamuni would in a later time certainly receive a prophecy from the Tathāgata Dīpaṃkara. Second, when one's noble conduct is like this, it is fitting in principle that one should receive a prophecy, as the end of the chapter on Śuddhamati in the Yuanjue jing states: 'If a person hears this Dharma gateway and does not give rise to alarm and fear, this is called following pure enlightenment. You should know that such a sentient being has already made offerings to Buddhas as numerous as the sands of hundreds of thousands of myriads of koṭis of Gaṅgā rivers and planted many roots of virtue; the Buddha says that this person is called one who accomplishes the wisdom of all modes.' The meaning is identical to this. Furthermore, as the Lotus Sūtra states: 'After the Tathāgata's parinirvāṇa, if there is a person who hears the Saddharmapuṇḍarīka-sūtra, even a single verse or a single gāthā, and rejoices for a single thought-moment, I also confer upon him the prophecy of anuttarā samyaksaṃbodhi.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 20.37](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1848.20.37) - [Next: 20.39](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1848.20.39) - [Up: 20](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1848.20) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1848~en-mt.20.38) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (2) - [妙法蓮華經](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.saddharmapundarika*zh-kumarajiva.4.40) — Classical Chinese - [添品妙法蓮華經](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.saddharmapundarika*zh-jnanagupta.4.36) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1848.20.38](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1848.20.38) · Pramāṇa
