15.185

Now, the aspirations of the Small Vehicle are inferior, concerning only oneself; the intention of the Great Being is impartial, encompassing the six destinies. Today's donor of alms has faith like a bright pearl, needing no side mirror; his substance is like jade tablets, requiring no external light. He constantly wishes to view self and others with an equal mind, and to regard foes and kin with parity. Let the assembly each turn their sincerity, on behalf of the twenty-eight heavens, the Four Heavenly Kings, Śakra, and Brahmā, as well as the poor and sick in the human realm and those suffering agony in the hells, to pay homage to the revered forms, spiritual images, and bodhi jewel-stupas, and so forth.
