People commemorate the Buddha and bathe the image of the Buddha (from the \*Mahācātusparṣad-sūtra\*). When bathing the image, one recites the verse: 'I now bathe all the Tathāgatas, / An assemblage of merit adorned with pure wisdom; / May living beings of the five defilements be freed from defilement, / And vow to realize the Tathāgata's pure Dharma-body' (from the \*Bathing the Buddha Sūtra\*). > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 33.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.33.7) - [Next: 33.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.33.9) - [Up: 33](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.33) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035~en-mt.33.8) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.33.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.33.8) · Pramāṇa
