Note on the transliteration:
The transliteration system of the BP/TLB is based on the Unicode/UTF-8 system. However, there may be difficulties with some of the letters – particularly on PC/Windows-based systems, but not so much on the Mac. We have chosen the most accepted older and traditional systems of transliteration against, e.g, Wylie for Tibetan, since with Unicode it is possible, in Sanskrit and Tibetan, etc., to represent one sound with one letter in almost all the cases (excepting Sanskrit and Tibetan aspirated letters, and Tibetan tsa, tsha, dza). We thus do not use the Wylie system which widely employs two letters for one sound (ng, ny, sh, zh etc.).
 
Important:
We ask you in particular to note the use of the ’ apostrophe and not the ' representing the avagrāha in Sanskrit, and most important the ’a-chuṅ in Tibetan. On the Mac the ’ is Alt-M.

4. Merit from perfect wisdom  Therefore then, Subhuti, a Bodhisattva who wants to take hold of all perfections should train in the perfection of wisdom.  When he trains in the perfection of wisdom, a Bodhisattva trains in that which is the highest possible degree of perfection for any being.  For his merit is the greatest possible.  Subhuti, if you consider all the beings in the great trichiliocosm, are they many? Subhuti: Even in Jambudvipa alone there are many beings, how many more would there be in the great trichiliocosm?  The Lord: If one single Bodhisattva were, during his entire life, to furnish all those beings with robes, alms bowl, lodging, medicinal appliances for use in sickness, and all that brings them happiness, - (432) would such a Bodhisattva on the strength of that beget a great deal of merit? Subhuti: He would, O Lord.  The Lord: A much greater merit still would that Bodhisattva beget who would develop this perfection of wisdom for even the duration of a finger-snap.  So greatly profitable is the perfection of wisdom of the Bodhisattvas, because she feeds the supreme enlightenment.  A Bodhisattva should therefore train in perfect wisdom if he wants to know full enlightenment, to arrive at the supreme position among all beings, to become a protector of the helpless, to reach the sphere of the Buddha, to emulate the manliness of the Buddha, to sport with a Buddha’s sport, to roar a Buddha’s lion roar, to reach the accomplishment of a Buddha, and to explain the dharma in the great trichiliocosm.  When a Bodhisattva trains in the perfection of wisdom, I do not see the accomplishment in which he has not been trained.
