Having last month considered the specific tasks that śrāvakas, laypeople and people in leadership roles should accomplish, we conclude The Sutra of Contemplation of the Dharma Practice of Universal Sage Bodhisattva.

The Buddha spoke thus to Ānanda:

“If there are any in future worlds who pursue mastery of these methods of self-amendment as such, it should be known that they don the clothes of humility, that buddhas will watch over and inspire them, and that it will not take a long time for them to achieve the full dynamic of ultimate enlightenment.”

When these words were spoken, ten thousand heavenly beings attained the Dharma eye that clearly sees the truth of all things; and Maitreya Bodhisattva, the other eminent bodhisattvas, and Ānanda, hearing the Buddha’s teachings, rejoiced and faithfully followed them.

And in humility I recognize the completion of another cycle through the Threefold Lotus Sutra. See Great Vows and Magnificent Aspirations
