Those in prostitution should reflect to themselves: "To be born as a woman is already not a result of wholesome karma; how much worse is it that I dwell in prostitution, where the karma is exceedingly unwholesome! If I can awaken and sever the karma of sexual misconduct, that is best. If I cannot yet sever it, I should constantly recollect Amitābha Buddha and make a great vow: 'May my evil karma diminish day by day and my wholesome karma grow day by day; may my food and clothing be modestly sufficient so that I may quickly leave this gate. After seeing the Buddha and attaining the Way, I will completely deliver all people who engaged in sexual misconduct on my account, causing them all to be born in the Pure Land.'" Recite mindfulness after mindfulness without interruption; when mindfulness naturally matures, one will definitely be born in Sukhāvatī. If one further transforms others, having them mutually exhort and transform one another, in the present life disasters will surely be eliminated and sins extinguished, and after death the meritorious retribution will also be boundless.
