At that time, the Bhagavat said to all the great bodhisattvas, ghost and spirit kings, and the others: "So it is, so it is, just as you have said. Such a classic cannot even be heard of, let alone seen! If one wishes to accept, uphold, read, and recite this sūtra, one should bathe cleanly, wear pure clothing, and keep the chamber pure; adorn the interior of the room with silk banners and canopies; burn various wonderful incenses, such as sandalwood incense, powdered incense, and various ointment incenses; and make offerings and pay homage. In this way, at the six periods of the day, from the first day through the seventh day, during every single day, one should read and recite this sūtra, with right mind and right recollection, right mindfulness and right contemplation, right reflection, right deliberation, right acceptance and upholding, right practice, and right teaching. During the six periods of day and night, pay homage to the buddhas, bodhisattvas, and the twelve divisions of scriptures in this sūtra. If one can pay homage, read, recite, believe in, and revere it in this way, the grave offenses spoken of in this sūtra will all be eradicated without any doubt. Why is this? This Great Vaipulya classic is what the buddhas of the ten directions practice and what they guard and uphold. It is the mother of all buddhas, the king of all scriptures, the treasury of wonderful meanings, and the path of bodhisattvas. Now this Mahāyāna vaipulya profound and wondrous classic is also like the six inconceivable great elements in the world. What are the six? The first is the great earth; the second is great water; the third is great fire; the fourth is great wind; the fifth is the great sun; the sixth is great space. This sūtra is like the great earth, universally bearing everything pure, foul, good, and bad. This sūtra is like great water, washing away all defilements, evils, impuritites, and vile things. This sūtra is like great fire, universally burning away all afflictions, defilements, evils, impurities, and vile things. This sūtra is like great wind, universally blowing away all impurities, defilements, and evils. This sūtra is like the great sun, universally illuminating all darkness. This sūtra is like great space, fully capable of accommodating everything good and bad. This Mahāyāna vaipulya classic is vast and matchless; above to the bodhisattvas, in the middle to the śrāvakas, and below to all embodied beings, it can completely accommodate them all. Therefore, as you accept and uphold this sūtra, circulate this sūtra, and believe and revere this sūtra, it will constantly cause all of you great bodhisattvas to enter the Buddha's wisdom and clearly see the buddhadhātu; and it will cause all of you deva and spirit kings, as well as those who accept and uphold the sūtra, to always be able to see me and see all future buddhas turning the great wheel of Dharma and sitting in the bodhimanda."
