Within it there are three occurrences of "furthermore." Why is giving an abundance of wealth inferior to receiving and upholding even a small portion? It is in order to explain this point that there are three occurrences of "furthermore." Namely: first, because the place is superior wherever it is, and the person is venerated wherever they are; second, from "What should this sūtra be named" onward, it is superior because it can shatter the two hindrances; third, from "trichiliocosm" onward, it is superior because it clarifies that material giving is a defiled cause while the gift of Dharma is a pure cause. This is the first. Within it there are also two parts: first, clarifying that the place is superior wherever it is; next, clarifying that the person is venerated wherever they are. "Just like a Buddha's stūpa or shrine": this is because it is the true dharmakāya of the Buddhas of the ten directions. This means broken-body relics are merely the body of a single nirmāṇabuddha, whereas this Prajñā Sūtra is the true dharmakāya of all Buddhas.
