Summary

The Buddha is residing in a garden and teaching a large assembly of monks and bodhisattvas when a monk named Immaculate Light breaks a vow after being tricked by a courtesan. Overcome with guilt, he seeks guidance from Manjushri Bodhisattva and ultimately the Buddha. The Buddha teaches him, and the assembly, that all phenomena are like dreams and illusions, lacking inherent existence and therefore free from defilement and karmic consequences. Immaculate Light understands the teaching, rejoices, and is prophesied to become a future Buddha. (AI generated)
