And again the Buddha spoke:

O Subhuti, in the future, in the days of the last five hundred, when the holy teaching of the Buddha is approaching its final destruction, there will come warrior saints who are great beings, who possess morality, who possess the fine quality, and who possess wisdom.

And these warrior saints who are great beings, O Subhuti, will not be ones who have rendered honor to a single Buddha, or who have collected stores of virtue with a single Buddha. Instead, O Subhuti, they will be ones who have rendered honor to many hundreds of thousands of Buddhas, and who have collected stores of virtue with many hundreds of thousands of Buddhas. Such are the warrior saints, the great beings, who then will come.
