Diamond Sūtra 32

‘And, O Subhhti, if a noble-minded Bodhisattva were to fill immeasurable and innumerable spheres of worlds with the seven treasures, and give them as a gift to holy and fully enlightened Tathagatas; and if a son or a daughter of a good family, after taking from this treatise of the Law, this Pragñaparamit, one Gatha of four lines only, should learn it, repeat it, understand it, and fully explain it to others, then the latter would on the strength of this produce a larger stock of merit, immeasurable and innumerable. And how should he explain it? As in the sky:

Stars, darkness, a lamp, a phantom, dew, a bubble.

A dream, a flash of lightning, and a cloud—thus we should look upon the world (all that was made). Thus he should explain; therefore it is said: He should explain.’

Thus spoke the Bhagavat enraptured. The elder Subhuti, and the friars, nuns, the faithful laymen and women, and the Bodhisattvas also, and the whole world of gods, men, evil spirits and fairies, praised the preaching of the Bhagavat.

Thus is finished the Diamond-cutter, the blessed Praaparamita.
