Right before Christmas, finally finished my reading of <Diamond Sutra>:
“Subhuti, if a person amasses enough of the seven jewels to fill
countless worlds and gives them away in charity, and if a good
man or good woman with the bodhisattva resolve takes as few
as a four-line verse of this sutra, recites, remembers, follows,
and expounds it to others, the latter’s merit would far exceed
that of the former. How should one teach it to others? Without
attachment, abiding in stillness and suchness. Why?
All conditioned phenomena
Are like a dream, an illusion, a bubble, a shadow,
Like dew or a flash of lightning;
Thus we shall perceive them.”
With this the Buddha concluded the sutra. The elder Subhuti, other
bhiksus, bhiksunis, upasakas, upasikas, heavenly and human
beings, asuras, and other beings of the world, having heard the
Buddha, were all filled with immense joy; they accepted and
followed the teaching faithfully. 1 reply
