3.29

At that time the Buddha told the prince Sudarśana and the three thousand people: "If you can disclose and repent in this way, without concealing your sins, you are true bodhisattvas. In future lives, you will definitely become buddhas. Furthermore, good sons, after my parinirvāṇa, if there are those who can wholeheartedly pay homage to these Buddhas of the ten directions, the twelve divisions of scriptures, and the Sangha of Bodhisattvas, this is called repaying the benevolence of the Three Jewels, and it immediately eradicates the ten evil deeds, the five unpardonable offenses, and slandering the vaipulya [sūtras]. Having eradicated these sins, to those who should be saved by becoming a srotaāpanna, the fruit of a srotaāpanna is conferred; to those who should be saved by becoming a sakṛdāgāmin, the fruit of a sakṛdāgāmin is conferred; to those who should be saved by becoming an anāgāmin, the fruit of an anāgāmin is conferred; to those who should be saved by becoming an arhat, the fruit of an arhat is conferred; to those who should be saved by becoming a pratyekabuddha, the fruit of a pratyekabuddha is conferred; to those who should be saved by becoming a bodhisattva, the fruit of a bodhisattva is conferred. Now, that the great bodhisattva-mahāsattvas in this sūtra attain the true nature of one birth is entirely due to paying homage to these Buddhas of the ten directions and the three times. Or there are bodhisattvas who attain the dharma-realm of two births, entirely due to paying homage to these Buddhas of the three times. Or there are bodhisattvas who attain ultimate wisdom, entirely due to paying homage to these Buddhas of the three times. Or there are bodhisattvas who attain awakening to the supreme truth, entirely due to paying homage to these Buddhas of the three times. Or there are bodhisattvas who attain the Śūraṅgama-samādhi, entirely due to paying homage to these Buddhas of the three times. Or there are bodhisattvas who attain the space samādhi and the wisdom-seal samādhi, entirely due to paying homage to these Buddhas of the three times. Or there are bodhisattvas who attain the non-regressive tolerance, the tolerance conforming to dharma, and the tolerance conforming to the dharma-realm, entirely due to paying homage to these Buddhas of the three times. Or there are bodhisattvas who attain dhāraṇī, great mindfulness, and unobstructed wisdom, entirely due to paying homage to these Buddhas of the three times. Or there are bodhisattvas who attain the lion's roar samādhi, the vajra samādhi, and the five-wisdom-seal samādhi, entirely due to paying homage to these Buddhas of the three times. Or there are bodhisattvas who attain the equanimity samādhi and the Buddha-practices of great benevolence, great compassion, and anuttarā samyaksambodhi, entirely due to paying homage to these immeasurable Buddhas of the ten directions and the three times."
