摩訶止觀 2.36

2.36

勸修者，《普賢觀》曰：「若七眾犯戒，欲一彈指頃，除滅百千萬億阿僧祇劫生死之罪者。」「欲發菩提心，不斷煩惱而入涅槃，不離五欲而淨諸根見障外事。」「欲見分身、多寶、釋迦佛者。」「欲得法華三昧、一切語言陀羅尼。」「入如來室、著如來衣、坐如來座。」「於天龍八部眾中說法者。」「欲得文殊、藥王、諸大菩薩，持華香住立空中侍奉者。」「應當修習此《法華經》，讀誦大乘，念大乘事。」「令此空慧與心相應。」「念諸菩薩母，無上勝方便，從思實相生。」「眾罪如霜露，慧日能消除。」「成辦如此諸事，無不具足。」「能持此經者，則為得見我，亦見於汝，亦供養多寶及分身，令諸佛歡喜。」如經廣說。誰聞如是法，不發菩提心？除彼不肖人，癡瞑無智者耳。

As for exhorting cultivation, the Samantabhadra Contemplation Sūtra states: 'If members of the seven assemblies break the precepts, and wish in the snap of a finger to eliminate the sins of samsāra accumulated over hundreds of thousands of myriads of koṭis of asaṃkhyeya kalpas;' 'if they wish to generate the bodhicitta, enter nirvāṇa without cutting off afflictions, and purify the sense faculties to see things beyond obstructions without abandoning the five desires;' 'if they wish to see the emanations, Prabhūtaratna, and Śākyamuni Buddha;' 'if they wish to attain the Lotus Samādhi and the dhāraṇī of all languages;' 'to enter the Tathāgata's room, wear the Tathāgata's robes, and sit on the Tathāgata's seat;' 'to expound the Dharma among the assembly of the eight classes of devas and nāgas;' 'if they wish to have Mañjuśrī, Bhaiṣajyarāja, and all great bodhisattvas holding flowers and incense, standing in the air to attend upon them;' '[they] should cultivate this Lotus Sūtra, read and recite the Mahāyāna, and be mindful of Mahāyāna matters;' 'cause this wisdom of emptiness to correspond with the mind;' 'be mindful of the mother of all bodhisattvas, the supreme and excellent expedients born from contemplating true reality;' 'the multitude of sins are like frost and dew, which the sun of wisdom can eliminate;' 'bring such matters to accomplishment so that none are not fulfilled;' 'one who can uphold this sūtra will behold me, and also behold you, and also make offerings to Prabhūtaratna and the emanations, causing all Buddhas to rejoice'—as the sūtra explains at length. Who, having heard such a Dharma, would not generate the bodhicitta? Except for those worthless people who are ignorant, blind, and devoid of wisdom.
