"Those who wish to be born in that land should cultivate the three blessings: first, to be filial and support their parents, serve their teachers and elders, possess a compassionate mind and not kill, and cultivate the ten wholesome karmas; second, to receive and uphold the three refuges, be complete in all the precepts, and not violate the deportments; third, to generate the bodhicitta, deeply believe in cause and effect, read and recite the Mahāyāna, and encourage practitioners to advance. These three kinds of karma are the proper causes of pure karma for all buddhas of the three periods of time—past, future, and present."
