These precepts are the precepts upon which all bodhisattvas of the past, future, and present dwell; all bodhisattvas of the past have already trained in them, all bodhisattvas of the future will train in them, and all bodhisattvas of the present are now training in them." (Said three times.) The Fanwang jing states: If one receives them from a master, there is no need for an auspicious sign, because the successive transmission of the precept masters possesses efficacy. If one takes the vow by oneself before an image of the Buddha, one must pray for and obtain an auspicious sign before one can obtain the precepts, because not receiving them from a master, one lacks efficacy by oneself. One must definitely pray for the empowerment of the sages. If in meditative concentration, or in a dream, or while awake, one resonates and obtains an auspicious sign that accords with the sacred teachings, only then is it obtained. If one receives the precepts in this way, one simply utters the solemn vow from one's own mouth, and the procedure and formula for receiving are entirely the same as receiving the Dharma from a master. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 89.62](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.89.62) - [Next: 89.64](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.89.64) - [Up: 89](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.89) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122~en-mt.89.63) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.89.63](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.89.63) · Pramāṇa
