金光明最勝王經疏 6.304

6.304

經　爾時世尊見諸菩薩人天大眾各各發心，於此經典流通擁護，勸進菩薩廣利眾生。讚言：「善哉善哉！汝等能於如是微妙經王虔誠流布，乃至於我般涅槃後不令散滅，即是無上菩提正因，所獲功德於恒沙劫說不能盡。若有苾芻、苾芻尼、鄔波索迦、鄔波斯迦，及餘善男子善女人等，供養、恭敬、書寫、流通、為人解說，所獲功德亦復如是。是故汝等應勤修習。」

Sūtra: At that time, the World-Honoured One, seeing that the bodhisattvas, humans, devas, and the great assembly each resolved their minds to propagate and protect this scripture, and to encourage bodhisattvas to broadly benefit sentient beings, praised them, saying: "Well done, well done! That you are able to piously propagate such an exquisite king of sūtras as this, even preventing it from scattering and disappearing after my parinirvāṇa, is itself the direct cause of unsurpassable bodhi; the merit acquired cannot be fully told even in kalpas numerous as the sands of the Ganges. If there are bhikṣus, bhikṣuṇīs, upāsakas, upāsikās, and other good men and good women who make offerings, revere, transcribe, circulate, and explain it to others, the merit acquired will also be just like this. Therefore, you all should diligently practice it."
