'Suppose I attain Buddhahood, from the ground up to the void, palaces, pavilions, ponds, streams, and flowering trees—all things in the land—will be made of immeasurable mixed treasures and hundreds of thousands of kinds of fragrances, adorned with wondrous beauty surpassing all humans and devas. Its fragrance will pervade the ten directions, and Bodhisattvas who smell it will all cultivate the Buddha's path; if it is not so, may I not attain perfect enlightenment. 'Suppose I attain Buddhahood, beings in the immeasurable and inconceivable Buddha worlds of the ten directions, upon being touched by my light, will have their bodies and minds become soft and gentle, surpassing humans and devas; if it is not so, may I not attain perfect enlightenment.

'Suppose I attain Buddhahood, in the immeasurable and inconceivable Buddha worlds of the ten directions, if there are women who hear my name, rejoice and believe, generate the Bodhi mind (the mind of enlightenment), detest their female bodies, and after their lives end, are reborn as women again, may I not attain perfect enlightenment. 'Suppose I attain Buddhahood, in the immeasurable and inconceivable Buddha worlds of the ten directions, all Bodhisattvas who hear my name, after their lives end, will always cultivate pure conduct (brahmacarya) until they attain Buddhahood; if it is not so, may I not attain perfect enlightenment.
