The first is an eye of wisdom, and the latter is worthy of receiving offerings. The Avataṃsaka-sūtra says: / "If one were to bear the trichiliocosm on one's head / without moving for a kalpa, / what he does would not yet be difficult; / to believe this Dharma is extremely difficult. / To all classes of sentient beings as numerous as the dust motes of a great chiliocosm, / if one made all offerings of pleasurable articles, / the merit of that would not yet be difficult; / to believe this Dharma is far superior. / If one were to hold the lands of the ten directions in one's palm / and remain in empty space for a kalpa, / what he does would not yet be difficult; / to believe this Dharma is exceedingly difficult. / To all classes of sentient beings as numerous as the dust motes of ten buddha-lands, / if one made all offerings of pleasurable articles, / the merit of that would not yet be difficult; / to believe this Dharma is far superior." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 8.556](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.8.556) - [Next: 8.558](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.8.558) - [Up: 8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.8) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723~en-mt.8.557) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [大方廣佛華嚴經](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.avatamsaka*zh-buddhabhadra.7.3.5) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.8.557](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.8.557) · Pramāṇa
