"Blessed One, we had approached the Blessed One in order to cause confusion. Blessed One, having heard this dharma-paryaya, we have become inspired with faith in both the Buddha and the Dharma. Blessed One, all of us then wish to gain the same sort of Buddha-happiness as that of the Blessed One. We wish to become the same sort of Tathagatas, Arhats, perfectly completed buddhas, in the world."
The Blessed One said, "Just so, good sirs, just so. As you have approached the Tathagata, the Arhat, the perfectly completed Buddha, and generate thoughts of unsurpassed, perfectly completed enlightenment after hearing the Sanghata sutra dharma-paryaya, by that root of virtue, good sirs, you will soon awaken into the unsurpassed, perfectly completed enlightenment. " ~ Sanghata sutra
...ooOoo...
