The diamond-pounder was originally a kind of weapon used in ancient India. In Buddhism it is regarded as a symbol of the bodhi-mind because it can destroy all defilement and false views. Therefore the phrase “pointing his diamond-pounder at the six organs” indicates the believer’s power to destroy the defilement of his six organs. It bears witness to the fact that his mind is moving toward repentance. The expression “the Bodhisattva Universal Virtue will preach to the follower the law of repentance to obtain the purity of the six organs” means that through his practice of repentance the believer can gain the awareness of being purified in body and mind.

Another noteworthy expression is: “When these words are spoken, the follower sees all the innumerable worlds in the eastern quarter. …”

This indicates that if everyone deeply understands the holiness of the Buddha’s teachings and the preaching of them (jewel trees and jewel thrones), and if the Buddha’s teachings spread universally, all people, society, and the whole world will become beautiful.
