Summary

The Buddha is in the city of Rajagrha with a large assembly of monks and bodhisattvas. He enters a deep state of meditative concentration and emits a great light that illuminates the universe. This light illuminates the universe and prompts bodhisattvas from other worlds to come and listen to the Buddha, as he teaches the Tathāgata Wisdom Seal, a profound samadhi that enables the practitioner to understand the nature of reality and attain enlightenment. The Buddha emphasizes the importance of maintaining ethical conduct, cultivating compassion, and upholding the Dharma to realize the benefits of this samadhi, predicting the future achievements of those who embrace and protect his teachings.
