BLESSINGS
AND WISDOM BEYOND COMPARE, TWENTY-FOUR
" Subhuti, suppose someone were to take mounds of the seven precious gems
piled as high as all the Sumerus, kings of mountains, in a threefold great
thousand world system and give them as an offering. And further suppose
someone else were to accept, uphold, read or recite and speak for others
as few as four lines of verse from this Prajna Paramita Sutra . The former
person's blessings and virtues would not equal one percent of the other
person's blessings and virtues, neither one tenth of a percent, nor one
hundredth of a percent, nor one thousandth of a percent, nor any fraction
that could be calculated or expressed by analogy."
