2.53

如善恭敬經云。佛告阿難。若有從他聞一四句偈。或抄或寫書之竹帛。所有名字。於若干劫。取彼和上阿闍梨等。荷擔肩上。或時背負。或以頂戴常負行者。復將一切音樂之具。供養是師作如是事。尚自不能具報師恩。若當來世於師和上所。起不敬心恒說於過。我說愚癡極受多苦。於當來世必墮惡道。是故阿難。我教汝等。常行恭敬尊重之心。當得如是勝上之法。所謂愛重三寶甚深之法。

As the Shan gongjing jing says: 'The Buddha told Ānanda: "If someone hears from another even a single four-line verse, or transcribes or copies it on bamboo or silk, and for that many kalpas as there are words written, takes that upādhyāya, ācārya, and so forth, carrying them on their shoulders, or carrying them on their backs, or placing them on the crown of their heads, constantly walking while carrying them, and further brings all instruments of music to make offerings to this teacher and acts in this manner, they still cannot fully repay the teacher's kindness. If in future ages they give rise to an irreverent mind toward the teacher and upādhyāya, constantly speaking of their faults, I say that through such delusion they will suffer great torment and will certainly fall into the evil destinies in future ages. Therefore, Ānanda, I instruct you all to constantly practice a mind of reverence and veneration; you will then attain such superior dharmas, namely, the profound dharma of treasuring the Triratna."'
