The sentient beings of that Buddha-field will become those who feed on meditative absorption. Shariputra, even if one were to teach the Dharma for a kalpa or more, starting from the excellent qualities and array of a Buddha-field, the Tathagata's fearlessness would have no end. In brief, whatever sons or daughters of good families of the Bodhisattva Vehicle who have faith and excellent intention, if they hear this, they will completely accomplish it. Shariputra, if a bodhisattva possesses three qualities, they will quickly awaken to unsurpassed, perfect, complete enlightenment, and the Buddha-field they have in mind will be manifestly accomplished. What are the three? They are: abiding in mindfulness, diligently practicing the Dharma as it has been heard, and the distinction of aspiration. Shariputra, if a bodhisattva possesses these three qualities, they will quickly awaken to unsurpassed, perfect, complete enlightenment, and the Buddha-field they have in mind will be manifestly accomplished. Then, the venerable Shariputra said to the Blessed One: Blessed One, how wonderful are the things well spoken by the Tathagata! Blessed One, all the dharmas of the aspects of enlightenment abide in diligence. Enlightenment abides in diligence. The excellent qualities and array of a Buddha-field are accomplished by the distinction of aspiration. The Blessed One said: Shariputra, it is so, it is so. All the dharmas of the aspects of enlightenment abide in mindfulness. Enlightenment abides in diligence. The excellent qualities and array of a Buddha-field are accomplished by the distinction of aspiration. Shariputra, if one abides in carelessness, indulging in verbal activities, and is without diligence in speech, even a Shravaka cannot accomplish it, what need is there to mention unsurpassed, perfect, complete enlightenment? Shariputra, therefore, a bodhisattva who wishes to take the vow to be named a true bodhisattva should train in this, the way the bodhisattva's training is established. Then, from within that assembly, eighty-four thousand bodhisattvas
