得道梯橙錫杖經 1.24

1.24

If it tilts, all myriad things will also tilt; if it is level and upright, all sentient beings will be caused to be tranquil and unconditioned. If the lower platform touches the ground, the suffering of sentient beings in the three wretched realms will increase even more intensely; if it does not touch the ground, sentient beings in the three wretched realms will be rescued on account of it. If it is inverted, it goes contrary to the world, and will also cause the practitioner's mind to be bewildered and confused; if one can carry it properly, both oneself and others will be benefited. If one holds it in this way, one will presently possess the proper deportment, being protected and assisted in going out and entering, and will later attain the fruit, swiftly accomplishing correct awakening.
