1.53

九、所益眾者，如諸會中天王、天女等是所益眾。又如〈發心功德品〉中，十方虛空法界等世界中，一一各有萬佛世界塵數眾生，是得益眾。〈性起品〉中，十方虛空法界等世界，一一各有一切佛剎微塵等眾生。又云「彼一一世界中，復各有百千佛剎微塵等菩薩，並是所益。」第八會初亦有所益無邊大眾。

Ninth, the assembly receiving benefit: such as the heavenly kings, heavenly maidens, and others in the various assemblies, who are the assembly that receives benefit. Also, as in the 'Merits of Arousing the Mind Chapter', where in worlds as numerous as the dharmadhātus of space throughout the ten directions, in each there are sentient beings as numerous as the atoms of ten thousand Buddha-worlds who constitute the assembly gaining benefit. In the 'Manifestation of Nature Chapter', in worlds as numerous as the dharmadhātus of space throughout the ten directions, in each there are sentient beings as numerous as the subtle atoms of all Buddha-lands. It also says: 'In each of those worlds, there are further bodhisattvas as numerous as the subtle atoms of a hundred thousand Buddha-lands, all of whom are those receiving benefit.' At the beginning of the eighth assembly, there is also a boundless great assembly that receives benefit.
