- notes
- synopsis
- Reader of the sutras: Sw Ananda Teertha.
- The sutra
- 'Because a bodhisattva
- Who gives a gift
- Should not be supported by a thing,
- Nor should he be supported anywhere.'
- 'The great being should give gifts
- In such a way
- That he is not supported by the notion of a sign.
- And why?
- Because the heap of merit of that bodhi-being,
- Who unsupported gives a gift,
- Is not easy to measure.'
- The lord continued:
- 'What do you think, Subhuti, can the Tathagata
- Be seen by the possession of his marks?'
- Subhuti replied:
- 'No indeed, o lord. And why?
- What has been taught by the Tathagata
- As the possession of marks,
- That is truly a no-possession of no-marks.'
- The lord said:
- 'Wherever there is possession of marks,
- There is fraud;
- Wherever there is no-possession of no-marks,
- There is no fraud.
- Hence the Tathagata is to be seen
- From no-marks as marks.'
- Subhuti asked:
- 'Will there be any beings in the future period,
- In the last time,
- In the last epoch,
- In the last five hundred years,
- At the time of the collapse of the good doctrine
- Who, when these words of the sutra
- Are being taught,
- Will understand their truth?'
- The lord replied:
- 'Do not speak thus, Subhuti!
- Yes, even then there will be beings who,
- When these words of the sutra are being taught,
- Will understand their truth.
- For even at that time, Subhuti,
- There will be bodhisattvas.
- And these bodhisattvas, Subhuti,
- Will not be such as have honored
- Only one single buddha,
- Nor such as have planted their roots of merit
- Under one single buddha only.
- On the contrary, Subhuti, those bodhisattvas who,
- When these words of the sutra are being taught,
- Will find even one single thought of serene faith,
- Be such as have honored
- Many hundreds of thousands of buddhas,
- Such as have planted their roots of merit
- Under many hundreds of thousands of buddhas.
- Known they are, Subhuti, to the Tathagata
- Through his buddha-cognition.
- Seen they are, Subhuti, by the Tathagata
- With his buddha-eye.
- Fully-known they are, Subhuti, to the Tathagata.
- And they all, Subhuti
- Will beget and acquire
- An immeasurable and incalculable heap of merit.'
