金剛般若經贊述 1.282

1.282

The Commentary states: This is the third, the conclusion. It means that if there is discrimination, then karmic saṃsāra arises; since marks of discrimination are removed, false conceptualization and saṃsāra are entirely gone, and thus one is called a Buddha. The meaning here is: even if one relinquishes many bodies and lives, it is not the cause for realizing the principle; but if one temporarily listens to the sūtra, that is the merit of freeing oneself from marks. This means that because of receiving, upholding, and listening to it, one will realize the principle of the two kinds of selflessness; since this is an excellent cause, its merit exceeds that of relinquishing one's life.
