Dragon King, for example, all cities [and] villages, all rely [on the] great earth, [to] then attain peaceful abiding. All medicinal herbs, grasses, trees [and] forests, likewise rely [on the] earth, [to] then attain growth. These Ten Goodnesses’ path [is] likewise thus, [for] all human [and] heavenly [beings to] rely [on] it, [to] then [be] established. All Voice-Hearers, Lone Awakeners’ Bodhi, all Bodhisattva practices, [and] all Buddhas’ Dharma [teachings], all together rely [on] these Ten Goodnesses’ great earth, [to] then attain accomplishment.’
