Summary

The text describes a scene where the Buddha is teaching about the merits of making offerings to the Buddha, whether directly or to relics after the Buddha's passing. It emphasizes that even small acts of devotion, such as offering a single flower with sincere faith, can lead to immense blessings and prevent rebirth in lower realms. The Buddha then introduces the "Flower Accumulation Dharani" (華積陀羅尼), promising that those who uphold, recite, and practice this mantra will gain wisdom, perfect memory, and ultimately achieve enlightenment, seeing the Buddha in dreams and understanding all teachings.
