1. End of the story of Sadaprarudita In conjunction with the acquisition of the six million concentration doors, the Bodhisattva Sadaprarudita saw the Buddhas and Lords, - in all the ten directions in countless trichiliocosms – surrounded by their congregations of monks, accompanied by multitudes of Bodhisattvas, teaching just this perfection of wisdom, through just these methods, in just these words, in just these letters, even as I just now in this great trichiliocosm demonstrate dharma, - surrounded by the congregation of monks, accompanied by multitudes of Bodhisattvas, and teaching just this perfection of wisdom, through just these methods, in just these words, in just these letters. He became endowed with inconceivable learning and a sacred knowledge vast like the ocean. In all his births he never again was deprived of the Buddha. He was reborn only where he could be face to face with the Buddhas, the Lords. Even in his dreams he was not lacking in the Buddhas, the Lords. All unfortunate rebirths he had abandoned, and he had secured the circumstances which allowed him to accomplish one auspicious rebirth after another.

2. The perfection of wisdom entrusted to Ananda The Lord thereupon said to the Venerable Ananda: In this manner also should you know this perfection of wisdom as the one who nurses the cognition of the all-knowing in the Bodhisattvas. Therefore then, Ananda, a Bodhisattva who wants to acquire the cognition of the all-knowing should course in this perfection of wisdom, (528,1) hear it, take it up, study, spread, repeat and write it. When, through the Tathagata’s sustaining power it has been well written, in very distinct letters, in a great book, one should honour, revere, adore and worship it, with flowers, incense, scents, wreaths, unguents, aromatic powders, strips of cloth, parasols, banners, bells, flags and with rows of lamps all round, and with manifold kinds of worship. This is our admonition to you, Ananda. For in this perfection of wisdom the cognition of the all-knowing will be brought to perfection. What do you think, Ananda, is the Tathagata your teacher? Ananda: He is, O Lord. The Lord: The Tathagata is your teacher, Ananda. You have ministered to me, Ananda, with friendly acts of body, acts of speech, acts of mind. Therefore then, Ananda, just as you have given affection, faith and respect to me as I am at present in this incarnation, just so, Ananda, should you act after my decease towards this perfection of wisdom. For the second time, for the third time, I entrust and transmit to you this perfection of wisdom, so that it may not disappear. No other man would be as suitable as you are. (529) As long as this perfection of wisdom shall be observed in the world, one can be sure that “for so long does the Tathagata abide in it,” that “for so long does the Tathagata demonstrate dharma,” and that the beings in it are not lacking in the vision of the Buddha, the hearing of the dharma, the attendance of the Samgha. One should know that those beings are living in the presence of the Tathagata who will hear this perfection of wisdom, take it up, study, spread, repeat and write it, and who will honour, revere, adore and worship it.

Thus spoke the Lord. Enraptured, the Bodhisattvas, headed by Maitreya, and the Venerable Subhuti, and the Venerable Ananda, and Sakra, Chief of Gods, and the entire world with its Gods, men, Asuras, Garudas and Gandharvas delighted in the Lord’s teaching.
