As the Sūtra of the Dhāraṇī of Flower Gathering Spoken by the Buddha states: The Buddha said, “Furthermore, if after the Tathāgata’s parinirvāṇa, someone traveling on an open road sees a Tathāgata stūpa or shrine, and is able to bring a single flower, a single lamp, or a lump of mud to apply before the image as an offering, or even can bring a single coin to give to the Buddha image for repairs, or if with a handful of water cleanses a Buddha stūpa to remove impurity, offers flowers and incense, raises a foot to take a step toward a stūpa or temple, or utters ‘Namo Buddhāya’ just once—for this person to fall into the three evil paths for hundreds of thousands of myriads of kalpas, there is utterly no such possibility.”
