"In the future, it will come to pass that although no
spiritual enjoyment or joy, or even the desire for renunciation
exists, those who defame one another, the scolds and troublemakers,
the debased, the vilifiers, will listen to this wisdom
mudra and will say, ‘I will become a Buddha!’ Those who live as
householders experience thousands of miseries; when they see
the actions that cause desire, patience will emerge. So even
those who are slaves to emotionality will say: ‘I will become a
Buddha!’ In their dreams they will see the Buddhas and will be
comforted. But growing proud, they will say, with no good
reason, ‘There is no doubt I am enlightened!’ Yet once again, they
will listen to the words of this Sutra, which will give them joy
and comfort, and they will attain enlightenment before too
long. Having listened to and truly heard this way of truth, they
will be w ithout grasping and without attachment like the wind
of the reaches of space. There are many such beings."
