仁王護國般若波羅蜜多經 1.72

1.72

「大王！此般若波羅蜜多功德無量，若有恒河沙不可說諸佛，是一一佛教化無量不可說有情，是一一有情皆得成佛，是諸佛等復教化無量不可說有情亦皆成佛，是諸佛等所說般若波羅蜜多，有無量不可說那庾多億偈，說不可盡。於諸偈中而取一偈分為千分，復於千分而說一分，句義功德尚無窮盡，何況如是無量句義所有功德。若有人能於此經中起一念淨信，是人即超百劫、千劫、百千萬劫生死苦難，何況書寫、受持、讀誦、為人解說所得功德，即與十方一切諸佛等無有異。當知此人，諸佛護念，不久當成阿耨多羅三藐三菩提。」

"Great King! The merit of this Prajñāpāramitā is immeasurable. If there were ineffable Buddhas as numerous as the sands of the Ganges, and each Buddha taught and transformed immeasurable, ineffable sentient beings, and each sentient being attained Buddhahood, and those Buddhas further taught and transformed immeasurable, ineffable sentient beings who also all attained Buddhahood, the Prajñāpāramitā spoken by those Buddhas would have immeasurable, ineffable nayuta billions of verses, inexhaustible in exposition. If one were to take a single verse from among those verses and divide it into a thousand parts, and further explain one of those thousand parts, the merit of its phrases and meanings would still be inexhaustible, how much more so all the merit of such immeasurable phrases and meanings! If someone is able to give rise to a single thought of pure faith in this sūtra, that person will immediately transcend the suffering and distress of birth and death for a hundred kalpas, a thousand kalpas, and hundreds of thousands of myriads of kalpas, how much more so the merit obtained from copying, receiving, upholding, reading, reciting, and explaining it to others, which will be equal and no different from that of all the Buddhas of the ten directions. You should know that this person will be protected and remembered by the Buddhas, and before long will attain anuttarā samyaksambodhi."
