[Faith has the power to dispel any of these four main sufferings. To illustrate how it dispels the suffering of old age, there is a story from ancient India about an old man of ninety years who requested ordination from Lilavajra. Lilavajra told him that since he was so old and did not even know how to read or write, it was too late for him to take ordination and to begin the path of Dharma in the usual way. But there was a special practice he could do, and he gave him the empowerment and instructions on the sadhana of White Mañjushri. Because the old man had great faith and possessed the appropriate karma, within seven days he had a vision of White Mañjushri and attained the accomplishment of immortal life. It is said that to this day he dwells in Payul Phakpachen.] [ZT, 2006, translator's notes]
