佛說觀佛三昧海經 7.6

7.6

佛告大王：「佛滅度後佛諸弟子，欲知如來伏曠野鬼自在神通，如是觀者名為正觀，若異觀者名為邪觀。佛滅度後若有眾生，思是法者、觀是法者、得此想者，除百千億劫生死之罪，生生之處不受鬼身，值遇諸佛間無空缺。設無佛時遇辟支佛，無辟支佛恒遇仙人為說正道。」

The Buddha told the great king: "After the Buddha's parinirvāṇa, if the Buddha's disciples wish to know the Tathāgata's sovereign divine powers in subduing the Wilderness Demon, contemplating in this way is called correct contemplation; if they contemplate otherwise, it is called false contemplation. After the Buddha's parinirvāṇa, if there are sentient beings who reflect on this teaching, contemplate this teaching, and attain this thought, they will eliminate the sins of birth and death for hundreds of thousands of billions of kalpas, will never take on the body of a spirit life after life, and will meet Buddhas without intermission. Even when there is no Buddha, they will meet pratyekabuddhas; and when there is no pratyekabuddha, they will constantly meet ṛṣis who will preach the correct path for them."
