By meditating & giving offerings to images of the Buddha & other Buddhist deities.
While I cannot give you a sutra, I can comment on the question. When Buddha says he was a buddha before he started meditating, what he means is his buddha-nature exists here and now. However, before he became enlightened, he had forgotten it. He was not aware of it. The mind created a fog, so that he could not see his buddha-nature. Meditation is the process of clearing the fog, so that you may remember (become conscious of) that which already is.
