Previously, it already clarified that after the Buddha's passing, the merit of propagating the sūtra is deep: past buddhas verified the sūtra, and the present Buddha attained the path; the benefit of proclaiming and circulating it in this land and other directions across twenty thousand and eighty myriad kotis \[of lands\] is immeasurable. That persons obtain wondrous merit is truly due to the reality of the Dharma; therefore at the end of the transmission section it re-distinguishes what is transmitted. What is transmitted? It is the opening and revealing of the three cycles; hence it raises the wheel-turning king subduing the army with awe and gaining merit: because merits have large and small, what is bestowed is not the same. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 9.88](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1719.9.88) - [Next: 9.90](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1719.9.90) - [Up: 9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1719.9) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1719~en-mt.9.89) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1719.9.89](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1719.9.89) · Pramāṇa
