2.7
Sūtra: 'How much more so if there is a person […] [achieve] the rarest dharma.' Praise says: Being able to do what is difficult to do. Even the merit of a single gāthā still surpasses the former, how much more so is fully receiving and upholding [the sūtra] truly rare! Receiving and upholding four lines is already difficult to attain; if one can fully uphold the verses, it is doing what is difficult to do. Since one can do what is difficult to do, one should know that this person can manifest the Dharma body, accomplish the reward body, and arise as the transformation body. Because one attains such fruit dharmas of the three bodies, it is said that one 'achieves the supreme, foremost, and rarest dharma.' Since the person who receives and upholds it is venerable, the merit of upholding the sūtra surpasses the merit of giving.
