Simultaneously, contemplate Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva, eighty million nayutas of yojanas tall, purple-gold in body, the palms of the hands displaying the colors of five hundred billion mixed lotuses, with eighty-four thousand rays of light, which are soft and pliable, using these jeweled hands to guide and receive sentient beings. Next, contemplate Mahāsthāmaprāpta Bodhisattva, eighty million nayutas of yojanas tall, the light of his entire body purple-gold in color, visible to all sentient beings who possess the karmic affinity. Next, visualize oneself being born in the Western Sukhāvatī, sitting cross-legged within a lotus flower, forming the thought of the lotus closing and the thought of it opening, and seeing the Buddhas and bodhisattvas filling empty space.
