Summary

The text recounts a conversation between the Buddha and a lay disciple named Chamoja regarding the practices that allow a Bodhisattva to quickly attain enlightenment. The Buddha emphasizes the importance of patience, moral conduct, loving the Dharma, avoiding women, and practicing generosity for achieving Buddhahood, and speaks against engaging in evil deeds, anger, and disrespect. The sutra concludes with assurances of great merit for those who believe and uphold this teaching and a warning to not dismiss it. (AI generated)
