而說是言。布施畜生。得百福報。布施闡提。得千福報。善男子。斷善根者。死趣闡提。無慚愧者。死趣畜生。畜生闡提。果報熟者。尚能受供。種人福田。何況此人。以是義故。今此大乘。大通方廣。威德力大。不可思議。能使破戒五逆。誹謗正法。邪見煩惱。悉得除滅。能受供養。
And I have spoken these words: Giving to an animal yields a hundredfold retribution of merit; giving to an icchantika yields a thousandfold retribution of merit. Good man, one who severs the roots of goodness goes to the icchantikas at death; one without shame and remorse goes to the animals at death. If animals and icchantikas, when their retributions ripen, can still receive offerings and plant fields of merit for people, how much more so this person! For this reason, now this Mahāyāna, the Great Universal Vaipulya, has great and inconceivable awe-inspiring power, and can cause [the sins of] broken precepts, the five unpardonable offenses, slandering the True Dharma, false views, and defilements to be wholly eliminated, so that they are able to receive offerings."
