20.18

又增一阿含經云。禮佛有五功德。一者端正（以見相好生尊上故）二得好聲（以見佛時三自稱曰南無如來至真等正覺故）三多饒財（以具華香燈明隨力供養故也）四生處高貴（以見佛時心無染著又能右膝著地長跪叉手禮故）五生天上（以念佛功德法爾故）。

Furthermore, the Ekottarika-āgama says: 'Prostrating to the Buddha has five merits: first, being upright and handsome (because of giving rise to reverence upon seeing the major marks and minor signs); second, obtaining a fine voice (because upon seeing the Buddha, one thrice proclaims oneself, "Homage to the Tathāgata, the Arhat, the Samyaksaṃbuddha"); third, possessing abundant wealth (because of fully offering flowers, incense, and lamps according to one's capacity); fourth, being born in high and noble places (because upon seeing the Buddha, one's mind has no defiled attachment, and one can touch the right knee to the ground, kneel, join the palms, and prostrate); fifth, being reborn in heaven (because mindfulness of the Buddha's merit is naturally so).'
