大通方廣懺悔滅罪莊嚴成佛經 3.44

3.44

The three thousand people led at that time have now all become buddhas. Of the first thousand, Padmaprabha is the foremost. Of the middle thousand, Ruci is the foremost. Of the last thousand, Maitreya is the foremost. Therefore, you should revere and bow to the names of these buddhas of the ten directions and the three times. In future ages, you shall elucidate and proclaim the teachings of the Path for the great assembly, broadly rescuing the multitudes of the blind, causing them to leave the three realms, to dwell tranquilly in quietude, and to abide securely in the place of enlightenment, no different from me."
