All will attain the positions of Śrāvaka (hearer, a practitioner who attains enlightenment by listening to the Buddha's teachings), Pratyekabuddha (a solitary Buddha who attains enlightenment independently), and Bodhisattva (a being who vows to attain Buddhahood for the benefit of all beings), and even the position of Anuttarā-samyak-saṃbodhi (unexcelled, complete and perfect enlightenment). 'Nāga Lord! What are wholesome dharmas? I will now explain them. The so-called ten wholesome actions are the fundamental basis for all; they are the fundamental basis for being born in the heavens and among humans; they are the fundamental basis for superior wholesome dharmas in the world and beyond the world; they are the fundamental basis for Śrāvakas, Pratyekabuddhas, and Bodhisattvas; they are the fundamental basis for Anuttarā-samyak-saṃbodhi. What is that fundamental basis? It is the ten paths of wholesome actions. If one can refrain from killing, stealing, sexual misconduct, false speech, frivolous speech, harsh speech, divisive speech, and even greed, hatred, and wrong views, if one can refrain in this way, this is the ten paths of wholesome actions; it is the fundamental basis for the world and beyond the world.' 'Nāga Lord! A masculine person (Śrāvaka), a Pudgala (person), who refrains from killing obtains ten kinds of wholesome dharmas. What are the ten dharmas? They are obtaining the gift of fearlessness; all other beings are able to abide in loving-kindness; obtaining right conduct; not giving rise to thoughts of the faults of all beings; having few illnesses; enjoying a long life; being protected by various non-human beings; being peaceful in sleep and wakefulness; and being guarded by the wise and noble, with a mind that does not tire of abandoning; in dreams, not seeing evil deeds or suffering; oneself not fearing all evil destinies; and after death, being born in the heavens. Nāga Lord! A masculine person (Śrāvaka), a Pudgala (person), who obtains these ten kinds of wholesome dharmas, practices the Bodhisattva path, obtains the abiding of a wholesome mind; wholesome roots mature, and one will attain Anuttarā-samyak-saṃbodhi (unexcelled, complete and perfect enlightenment).' 'Nāga Lord! A masculine person (Śrāvaka), a Pudgala (person), who refrains from stealing obtains ten supports. What are the ten? They are obtaining great wealth and freedom, being spared from royal troubles, being spared from the dangers of water, fire, thieves, and enemies; obtaining many relatives who are kind, obedient, and harmonious; being loved by many people, not causing suffering to each other, and all that is said is truthful and trustworthy; obtaining immeasurable treasures that are all gathered together; obtaining praise from all directions, both here and elsewhere; having no fear or dread in all places of conduct; and obtaining the good name of being praised by others.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
