Text on Receiving and Maintaining the Three Robes: (The three robes embody the virtue of the Way; the three holy ones treasure them. The scriptural texts venerate them similarly to a stūpa. Their designations and substance manifest unprecedented phenomena; their efficacy destroys the ninety-six non-Buddhist schools. In wearing, practicing, and guarding them, one must comply with the holy Dharma. If one does not formally receive them, the robe is treated as having no robe. Both other schools and our own school all rule that they must be received. The instructions of the steadfastly compassionate one should fortunately be received and borne in mind.)
