The Sutra of the Vast, Great, Perfect, Full Unimpeded Great Compassion Heart Dharani: 7 of 7
When the Bodhisattva Who Regards the World’s Sounds had finished speaking this Mantra, the great earth trembled and moved in six ways. The heavens rained forth jeweled flowers, which fell in colorful profusion. All the Buddhas of the ten directions were delighted, while the heavenly demons and externalists were so afraid, their hair stood on end. Everyone in the entire assembly certified to the result. Some won the result of stream-winner, some won the result of a once-returner, some won the result of a never-returner, some won the result of an arhat. Others attained to the first ground of a Bodhisattva, the second, third, fourth and fifth ground, even up to the tenth Bodhisattva ground. Countless living beings brought forth the Bodhi heart.
