3.32

如菩薩本行經云。昔佛在世時。佛與阿難入舍衛城。而行乞食。時彼城中有一婆羅門。從外而來。見佛出城光相巍巍。時婆羅門。歡喜踊躍。遶佛一匝作禮而去。佛便微笑。告阿難言。此婆羅門見佛歡喜。以清淨心遶佛一匝。以此功德從是以後。二十五劫不墮惡道。天上人中快樂無極。竟二十五劫得辟支佛。名持儭那祇梨。以是因緣。若人旋佛及旋佛塔。所生之處得福無量也。

As stated in the Bodhisattva-caryā-sūtra: Long ago, when the Buddha was in the world, the Buddha and Ānanda entered the city of Śrāvastī to walk for alms. At that time, a brāhmaṇa in that city came from outside and saw the Buddha leaving the city, his radiant marks majestic and towering. Thereupon, the brāhmaṇa leaped for joy, circumambulated the Buddha once, made obeisance, and departed. The Buddha then smiled and said to Ānanda, 'This brāhmaṇa saw the Buddha with joy and, with a pure mind, circumambulated the Buddha once. By virtue of this merit, from now on, he will not fall into evil destinies for twenty-five kalpas, enjoying boundless happiness among gods and humans. After the completion of twenty-five kalpas, he will become a pratyekabuddha named Candanagiri.' Because of this cause and condition, if a person circumambulates the Buddha or circumambulates a Buddha stupa, wherever they are born, they will obtain immeasurable blessings.
