The Diamond Sutra - Section 6
Manage episode 451927729 series 3309962
Subhuti asked the Buddha:
Honored throughout the world,
in the future, will there be beings who,
upon hearing these teachings,
will have true confidence in them?
The Buddha replied:
Subhuti, do not speak like that.
Two thousand five hundred years after the
passing away of the Tathagata,
there will be beings who, having practiced
the rules of morality and, therefore,
being possessed of merit, will hear these statements
and understand their truth.
You should know that such beings
have planted their root of merit
not only under one, two, three,
four or five Buddhas,
but under innumerable Buddhas.
When such beings, upon hearing
these statements, awaken even
for a moment of pure and clear confidence,
the Tathagata will see them and recognize
their immeasurable amount of merit.
