因果經云。釋迦如來未成佛時。為大菩薩名曰善慧。功行滿已位登補處。生兜率天名曰聖善。為諸天主說補處行。亦於十方現身說法。期運將至當下作佛。

> The Sūtra of Cause and Effect states: "Before the Tathāgata Śākyamuni had attained Buddhahood, he was a great bodhisattva named Shan Hui (Sumati). His meritorious practices being complete, he ascended to the position of a \[bodhisattva\] destined to become a Buddha in the next life, and was born in Tuṣita Heaven with the name Sheng Shan. For the various celestial lords, he expounded the practices of a bodhisattva destined for Buddhahood in the next life, and also manifested bodies throughout the ten directions to preach the Dharma. When the predestined time was approaching, he was to descend and become a Buddha."
