3.33

文殊師利問佛言。世尊。行此法時。得多人不。佛言。一人以上。二十人以下。行此法時。亦勿曾念諸餘經典。從此悔已。後更莫造。是名悔法。應作是念。我等今者。如死還活。我當持戒。我當精進。我當讀誦大乘方等。是人爾時。應作是念。從今日始。堅持禁戒。願如金剛。是人作是念時。維摩大士。復與無量菩薩。立其人前。為作時證。大德普賢。為作羯磨。大德迦葉。與作依止。佛告文殊。是名滅罪。是名解脫。是名具戒。是名得住。

Mañjuśrī asked the Buddha: "Bhagavat, when practicing this dharma, can there be many people?" The Buddha said: "From one person or more, up to twenty people or fewer. When practicing this dharma, one should also never contemplate other scriptures. From this repentance onward, do not commit [the offenses] again later; this is called the method of repentance. One should make this reflection: 'We are now like those who have returned to life from death. I shall uphold the precepts, I shall be diligent, and I shall read and recite the Mahāyāna vaipulya [sūtras].' That person, at that time, should make this reflection: 'Beginning from this day forward, I shall firmly uphold the restrictive precepts, vowing to make them like vajra.' When this person makes this reflection, the Great Being Vimalakīrti, along with immeasurable bodhisattvas, stands before that person to bear timely witness for them. The Venerable Samantabhadra performs the karma for them. The Venerable Kāśyapa acts as their preceptor of reliance. The Buddha told Mañjuśrī: "This is called the eradication of sins, this is called liberation, this is called possessing the precepts, and this is called attaining stability."
