The infinite stores, or treasuries, of virtue dedicated by the practitioners are attained by [...] removal of obstructions caused by past actions, by paying respect to all the enlightened, by requesting the enlightened to teach, by listening to the teachings and putting them into practice, and by rejoicing at the virtues of all [...] people in all times. (p. 1556)
