제 24 · 복지무비福智無比 | 복과 지혜는 비교할 수 없나니Chapter 24. Uncomparable Happiness and Virtue "Subhuti, if there were someone who gave away to others all the piles of the seven precious treasures filled in the kings of all the Mount Sumerus in the 3,000 grand thousand worlds as an act of generosity, while on the other hand, there was another person who receives, understands, recites and explains the Sutra of Prajnaparamita, even if only a stanza of four lines of the Sutra, the happiness and virtue resulting from the former is not even close to one-hundredth, of one- billionth of that of the latter. In addition, no numbers in mathematics are comparable to that of the latter." The Incomparable Merit of This TeachingSubhuti, if there be one who gives away in gifts of alms a mass of the seven treasures equal in extent to as many mightly Mount Sumerus as there would be in three thousand galaxies of worlds, and if three be another who selects even only four lines from this Discourse upon the Perfection of Transcendental Wisdom,receiving and retaining them, and clearly expounding them to others, the merit of the latter will be so far greater than that of the former that no conceivable comparison can be made between them.  제 24,복과 지혜를 비교할 수 없다“수보리야, 어떤 사람이 모든 삼천대천세계에서 제일 큰 산인 수미산왕만한 칠보의 덩어리들을 가지고 널리 보시한다 해도, 만일 또 다른 어떤 사람이 이 반야바라밀경에서 내지 네 글귀의 계송만이라도 받아 지니고 읽고 외우고 남을 위해 연설해 주었다면, 앞의 복덕으로는 백분의 일에도 미치지 못하고 백천만억분의 일에도 미치지 못하며 내지 숫자가 있는대로 다 모아서 비교하더라도 미치지 못하느니라.”
