that person then proceeded to the mountain,
where the supernatural person cultivates inside.
Having reached there,
he found a supernatural person,
then bowed deeply with his face touching the ground,
joined his palms and said:
”Please supernatural one, please save me.
I am in fear and worry,
because I have committed the weighty five karmas,
and will surely fall into the evil reincarnations,
how can I be reprieved
In days and nights,
when drinking, eating, sitting and lying,
I am always worrying,
without any little bit of happiness.
Now I believe and respect you supernatural one,
please tell me,
how to clear those evil karmas that I committed
”
The supernatural person said to him:
”Please sit down and listen,
you are so frightened and worrying,
you should confess your evil karmas.”
The supernatural person continued to say:
”You are so worrying, hungry, thirsty and helpless,
now I give you some food,
why not eat them first,
then I will speak Dharma for you,
to make all your sinful karmas cleared.”
After eating,
The regretful person washed his hands,
circumambulate the supernatural person clockwise,
bowed to the supernatural one,
withdrew and sat down.
The supernatural person asked:
”What evil karmas you have committed
”
he answered:
”I have killed my parents,
demolished the towers(stupa),
destroyed the solidarity of Sanghas,
disturbed the Samadhis of Bodhisattvas,
and mangled the Buddha Dharmas.”
The supernatural one then said:
”You are indeed an immoral person,
so that you have committed such evil karmas.”
After hearing those words,
the person became more worrying,
for fear that he was not savable,
and will surely fall into evil reincarnations.
He then arose from his seat,
bowed to the feet of the supernatural person,
and said:
”Supernatural one,
please pity me,
the one who have extremely weighty evil karmas.
I am agonizing and worrying so much,
please be my refuge.
Although I have confessed,
I do not know the way to escape.
Please supernatural one,
Show your great mercy,
to make my sins cleared.”
The supernatural person then comforted him:
”Do not fear,
I can save you,
and reduce your evil karma retributions.
Now you just listen,
have you ever heard of a Dharma-Gate called Sanghata
”
He replied:
”No I haven”t heard of it.”
The supernatural person said:
”Who can speak Dharma for a person burnt by fire
only the great compassionate ones can.”"

"”The supernatural person continued:
”In the distant past,
immeasurable and boundless Asamkhya kalpas ago,
there was a king named Pure-Moon (Vimala-candra),
who ruled the world according to correct Dharmas.
When the king Pure-Moon got a son,
he summoned an augural master,
to foretell the child”s signs of virtue and evil.
The augur told the king:
”According to my observation,
This child has very unpropitious signs.”
The king asked:
”What do the unpropitious signs mean
”
The augur said:
”When this child is seven years old,
he will kill his parents.”
The king said:
”I would rather let him kill me,
than kill my son.
A human body is difficult to obtain,
One has to cultivate for innumerable kalpas to obtain a human body,
thus one should not kill any living beings using his human body.”
One month after the birth of the child,
he was already like a one-year-old child.
Knowing that the son will kill him,
The king Pure-Moon abdicated the crown to the son, saying:
”You are the ruler of this kingdom from now on,

After his abdication,
