菩薩復有四事法。得化生千葉蓮華中立法王前。何等為四。一細擣紅青黃白蓮華。合此四種末之如塵。使滿軟妙華。持是供養世尊。若塔及舍利。二不令他人起瞋恚意。三作佛形像使坐蓮華上。四得最正覺便歡喜住。

"A bodhisattva further has four practices to obtain apparitional birth within a thousand-petaled lotus, standing before the Dharma King. What are the four? First, finely crushing red, blue, yellow, and white lotuses, combining these four kinds and powdering them like dust to fill soft, wondrous flowers, and using these to make offerings to the World-Honoured One, or to stupas and śarīra. Second, not causing others to give rise to thoughts of anger. Third, making images of the Buddha, seating them on lotuses. Fourth, upon attaining supreme right awakening (saṃbodhi), abiding in joy."
