又梵網經云。爾時智者向十方佛為受戒人。唱說羯磨已。十方諸佛及諸菩薩。遙見是人生子想弟想。咸皆垂心憐愍護念。由佛菩薩遙護念故。使受戒之人功德增長。不失善法。令受戒人舉身毛孔從頂至足。如涼風入體舉身悚慄。當知受者具其戒相冥中。爾時應有十方諸佛。以正法眼見此行者有實真心。釋迦牟尼佛於聖眾中。應唱如是言。告諸大眾。彼世界中某甲國土某甲菩薩。從某甲智者請菩薩戒。此人無師。我為作師。憐愍故。

Furthermore, the Fanwang jing states: 'At that time, the wise person, facing the Buddhas of the ten directions, recites and performs the karmavācanā for the precept-receiver. The Buddhas and bodhisattvas of the ten directions, beholding this person from afar, conceive thoughts of a son or a younger brother toward them, and all incline their minds with pity, protection, and mindfulness. Because the Buddhas and bodhisattvas protect and are mindful of them from afar, they cause the merit of the person receiving the precepts to increase and not lose good dharmas, causing the precept-receiver's entire body of pores from head to foot to be like cool wind entering the body, with the whole body trembling in awe. One should know that the recipient is endowed with the characteristics of the precepts in the unseen realm. At that time, the Buddhas of the ten directions, with the Dharma-eye, should see that this practitioner has a true and sincere mind. Śākyamuni Buddha among the assembly of sages should proclaim these words, addressing the great assembly: "In that world, in such-and-such a land, such-and-such a bodhisattva requests the bodhisattva precepts from such-and-such a wise person. This person has no master; out of pity, I shall act as their master."'
