3.65

是在家菩薩已慕尚出家,若入塔寺敬禮佛時,應生三心:一我當何時得於八部受諸供養;二何時當得神力,舍利流布世間利益眾生;三我今深心行大精進得大菩提,我作佛已入無餘涅槃。

When this lay bodhisattva who already admires and aspires to renunciant life enters a stūpa or monastery and pays homage to the Buddha, he should give rise to three thoughts: first, 'When will I receive offerings from the eight classes [of beings]?'; second, 'When will I obtain supernormal powers, so that relics are distributed throughout the world to benefit sentient beings?'; third, 'Practising great vīrya with deep resolve now to attain great bodhi, after becoming a Buddha, I shall enter remainderless nirvāṇa.'
