Indra replied:
Venerable sir, very much! Bach Thien The, a lot!
Buddha taught:
Hey Kāśika, if good men and good women copy Prajna
If such a profound paramita is given to others to read, recite, or pass around to copy and spread widely, those good men and good women will have much more merit and virtue than before. Why? Kāśika, because all the outflow-free dharmas have been extensively mentioned in the secret collection of Prajnaparamita, Bodhisattvas of the Sravaka nature who practice this dharma quickly enter the Sravaka’s right nature of separation from birth, attain Stream-winner fruition, once-returner fruition, non-returning fruition, and Arahant fruition; The Bodhisattva of the Single Enlightened nature, practicing and studying this dharma, quickly enters the right nature of separation from the Solitary Enlightenment, and in turn attains the state of Solitary Enlightenment; Bodhisattvas of the Bodhisattva nature who practice and study this dharma quickly enter the Bodhisattva’s right nature of separation from birth and attain the highest level of Enlightenment.

Kāśika, if good men and good women teach one sentient being to attain Stream-entry, the merit and virtue they gain will be greater than teaching all kinds of sentient beings in the ten directions of the world like the sands of the Ganges River, making them all practice the ten paths of good karma.

Kāśika, if good men and good women teach all kinds of sentient beings in the ten directions worlds like the sands of the Ganges River, all of them attain the fruition of Stream-winner, Once-returner, Non-returner, and Arhat, then the merit and virtue they will gain is not as good as having someone who teaches a single sentient being, allowing them to reside in the state of Solitary Enlightenment. Why? Kāśika, because the merit of Solitary Enlightenment is better than that of Stream-winner? hundreds, thousands of times.

Why? Kāśika, because if we educate sentient beings towards the highest level of Enlightenment, the Buddha’s eyes in the world will never end. Why?
