Now, the fruit of Buddhahood is remote and peerless, yet there are steps to climb it; the Dharma cloud is lofty and towering, yet there is a gradual progress to reach it. Therefore, when great sincerity is first aroused, its mysterious virtue illuminates future times; when a grand vow is first established, its wondrous aspiration pervades the empty realm. A single thought of raising the resolve is the auspicious flower of dust-like kalpas; half a moment of reverently bowing the body is the ambrosia of the great chiliocosm. This is truly the foundation of the Mahāyāna, the ferry and highway of omniscience.
