Furthermore, King Sudarśana, / All people in the world / Whose minds are free of marks of discrimination, / Fully understanding the path of the One Vehicle, / That in past and future, / The ten directions and the present, / There is only the one Buddha Vehicle, / With neither two nor three— / If they can generate this intention, / Their minds free of marks of discrimination, / All such people / Are called repayers of the Buddha's kindness. / Furthermore, King Sudarśana, / If there can be a single person / Who, after my extinction, / Constantly gives rise to faith and understanding in their mind, / All saying that all sentient beings / Entirely possess the Tathāgata-nature— / All such people / Are also called repayers of the Buddha's kindness. / If one cultivates a single moment of wholesomeness, / Not seeking heavenly retribution, / But directly heading toward the unsurpassed path, / This is also called repaying the Buddha's kindness. / Furthermore, King Sudarśana, / After my extinction, / If there can be a single person / Who reads this sūtra even for an instant, / Revering the Buddha, Dharma, and Saṅgha, / And filially serving and making offerings to their teachers— / All such people / Are also called repayers of the Buddha's kindness. / If a person gives away a single piece of wealth, / Desiring food and clothing, / And universally bestows them upon the great assembly, / This is also called repaying the Buddha's kindness. / Furthermore, King Sudarśana, / In my Latter Dharma, / If there is one who can convert a single person / To listen to this sūtra for an instant, / It is superior to separately making offerings / To a hundred kotis of bodhisattva assemblies. / Such a Mahāyāna sūtra / Is the mother of the Buddhas and bodhisattvas; / Mindfulness of the Buddha and reverence for this sūtra / As well as the bodhisattva assemblies, / With an equal mind without this or that— / This is called repaying the Buddha's kindness. / Furthermore, King Sudarśana, / If there is one in the Latter Dharma / Who wishes to repay the Buddha's kindness, / A single thought in meditative absorption / Is superior to bringing to life all the people / Filling the three thousand realms. / Slandering dhyāna and disrupting the assembly / Is like killing all the people / Filling the three thousand realms, / As well as all classes of sentient beings; / Slandering dhyāna and disrupting the assembly, / Its sin is also like this. / If a person sees cultivation of wholesomeness / And slanders it, not accepting it with faith, / Severing and destroying the seed of the Three Jewels, / They are not called repayers of the Buddha's kindness.
