제 11 · 무위복승無爲福勝 | 무위의 수승한 복Section 11: Unconditioned merits surpass allChapter 11. True Happiness"Subhuti, if there were as many Ganges Rivers as the number of grains of sand in the Ganges, would you say that the total number of grains of sand in all those Ganges Rivers is very many?" Subhuti replied, "Very many indeed, World Honoured One! The number of Ganges Rivers as many as the number of sand grains in the Ganges River are innumerable how much more so the number of grains of sand in all those Ganges Rivers.""Subhuti, I now sincerely ask you this: 'If a virtuous man or woman were to fill the 3,000 chiliocosms as the number of grains of sand in all the Ganges Rivers with the seven precious jewels, and give them all away to others as an act of generosity, would that person gain much happiness?" Subhuti replied, "Very much, World Honoured One!"The Buddha said to Subhuti, "If a virtuous man or woman accepts, practices, and explains this sutra to others, even if only a stanza of four lines, the happiness and virtue that results from this virtuous act would be far greater than the happiness and virtue resulted from the former." 제11 절대한 큰 복덕“수보리야, 항하에 있는 모래 수처럼 그렇게 많은 항하가 있다면 네 생각이 어떠하냐. 그 모든 항하 가운데 있는 모래가 얼마나 많겠느냐.” 수보리가 사뢰었다. “아주 많사옵니다. 세존이시여, 저 모든 항하의 수만 하여도 한없이 많을 것이온대 하물며 그 가운데 있는 모래이겠나이까.” 수보리야, 내가 이제 진실한 말로 너에게 이르노니, 만약 선남자 선녀인이 있어 저 항하의 모래 수처럼 많은 삼천대천세계에 가득찬 7보를 가지고 널리 보시하였다면 그 복이 얼마나 많겠느냐.” 수보리가 사뢰었다. “심히 많사옵니다. 세존이시여.” 부처님께서 수보리에게 말씀하셨다. “만약 선남자 선녀인이 이 경 가운데서 네 글귀만이라도 받아지니고 남을 위하여 말해 준다면 그 복덕이 앞에서 말한 복덕보다 더 없이 뛰어나리다.” 제 11 · 무위복승無爲福勝 | 무위의 수승한 복"Subhuti, if there were as many Ganges rivers as the number of grains of sand in the Ganges, would you say that the number of grains of sand in all those Ganges rivers would be very many?" Subhuti answered, "Very many indeed, Most Honored One. If the number of Ganges rivers were that large, how much more so would be the number of grains of sand in all those Ganges rivers." "Subhuti, I will declare a truth to you. If a good man or a good woman filled over ten thousand galaxies of worlds with the seven treasures for each grain of sand in all those Ganges rivers, and gave it all away for the purpose of compassion, charity and giving alms, would this man or woman not gain great merit and spread much happiness?" Subhuti replied, "Very much so, Most Honored One." "Subhuti, if after studying and observing even a single stanza of this Sutra, another person were to explain it to others, the happiness and merit that would result from this virtuous act would be far greater." <11> 無爲福勝The superiority of Unformulated TruthSubhuti, if there were as many Ganges rivers as the sand-grains of the Ganges, would the sand-grains of them all be many? Subhuti said: Many indeed, World-honoured One! Even the Ganges rivers would be innumerable; how much more so would be their sand-grains? Subhuti, I will declare a truth to you. If a good man or good woman filled three thousand galaxies of worlds with the seven treasures for each sand-grain in all those Ganges rivers, and gave all away in gifts of alms,would he gain great merit? Subhuti answered: Great indeed, World-honoured One! Then Buddha declared: Nevertheless, Subhuti,if a good man or good woman studies this Discourse only so far as to receive and retain four lines,and teaches and explains them to others,the consequent merit would be far greater.
