Will be liberated from the birth place of evil destinies, and will be born in the place of good destinies and high heavens. Whether it is a man, or a woman, or a boy, or a girl, or any other belonging to the birth place of animals, whether it is a hungry ghost, or a bird, or an aquatic creature, etc., whoever drinks this water, all their sins and all obstacles will be purified, and they will go to the path of good destinies. Thus it is said. Similarly, relying on leftover food and widely known, the Dharani called "Good Form" (Tibetan: གཟུགས་ལེགས་, Sanskrit Devanagari: रूरूप, Sanskrit Romanization: rūpa, literal Chinese meaning: Form), and the "Great Power" Dharani spoken to Ananda (Tibetan: ཀུན་དགའ་བོ) in Kapilavastu (Tibetan: གྲོང་ཁྱེར་སེར་སྐྱ), and the "Flame in the Mouth" Dharani spoken to Ananda's younger brother, the benefits associated with the names of these four Dharanis, and the Dharani of "Interrupting Obstacles" spoken to the Supreme Pair, etc., in short, relying on small efforts and resources, are countless. Similarly, such as leaking body donations, and temples, and cleaning roads, etc. The Tathagata also swept the floor in the garden of the helpless food giver, our wisdom cannot reach it, so the increase of merit is weak. When wisdom is capable, with a vast intention, immeasurable merit increases. It is said in the sutra: Although the object of giving is small, a great intention is supreme. Therefore, until the waving of the hand, and even the arising of a single thought, strive to recognize its method, suppress the opposing aspects of merit, and strive to accumulate virtuous dharmas, which should be regarded as the path of the Great Vehicle.
