REVERING
THE PROPER TEACHING, TWELVE
" Moreover, Subhuti, know that all the gods, humans and asuras of the
world should make offerings to any place where even as few as four lines
of verse from this Sutra have been spoken, just as they would make offerings
to a Buddha, a stupa or a temple. How much the more should they make offerings
to any place where there are people who can completely accept, uphold,
read and recite this Sutra. Subhuti you should know that such people accomplish
the supreme, foremost and most rare of dharmas. Wherever this Sutra is
found, there is a Buddha or reverent disciple."
