金剛般若波羅蜜經略疏 1.43

1.43

須菩提白佛言：「世尊！頗有眾生，於未來世末世得聞如是修多羅章句生實相不？」佛告須菩提：「莫作是說：『頗有眾生於未來世末世得聞如是修多羅章句生實相不？』」佛復告須菩提：「有未來世末世，有菩薩摩訶薩，法欲滅時，有持戒修福德智慧者，於此修多羅章句能生信心，以此為實。」佛復告須菩提：「當知彼菩薩摩訶薩非於一佛二佛三四五佛所修行供養，非於一佛二佛三四五佛所而種善根。」佛復告須菩提：「已於無量百千萬諸佛所修行供養，無量百千萬諸佛所種諸善根，聞是修多羅乃至一念能生淨信。須菩提！如來悉知是諸眾生，如來悉見是諸眾生。」

Subhūti said to the Buddha, "World-Honored One, will there perhaps be any sentient beings in the future, in the final age, who upon hearing such sūtra passages and verses will give rise to [the notion of] the true mark?" The Buddha told Subhūti, "Do not speak thus: 'Will there perhaps be any sentient beings in the future, in the final age, who upon hearing such sūtra passages and verses will give rise to [the notion of] the true mark?'" The Buddha further told Subhūti, "There will be, in the future, in the final age, bodhisattva-mahāsattvas, at the time when the Dharma is about to be extinguished, who maintain the precepts, cultivate meritorious virtue, and possess wisdom, who will be able to give rise to faith in these sūtra passages and verses and take them to be real." The Buddha further told Subhūti, "You should know that those bodhisattva-mahāsattvas will not have practiced and made offerings before one Buddha, two Buddhas, three, four, or five Buddhas, nor will they have planted wholesome roots before one Buddha, two Buddhas, three, four, or five Buddhas." The Buddha further told Subhūti, "They will have already practiced and made offerings before immeasurable hundreds of thousands of myriad Buddhas, and planted wholesome roots before immeasurable hundreds of thousands of myriad Buddhas, so that upon hearing this sūtra, even for a single thought-moment they will be able to give rise to pure faith. Subhūti, the Tathāgata fully knows these sentient beings; the Tathāgata fully sees these sentient beings."
