“However, Subhūti, this round of teachings is inconceivable and incomparable.
The Realized One has preached this round of teachings for the benefit of living beings who have set out on the highest path, for the benefit of living beings who have set out on the best path.
Those who will learn, memorise, recite, and master this round of teachings, the Realized One knows them, Subhūti, the Realized One sees them, Subhūti.
All those living beings will come to be endowed with an immeasurable quantity of merit, they will come to be endowed with an inconceivable, incomparable, unreckonable, measureless quantity of merit. [Those living beings will all carry my awakening on their shoulders.]1
Why is that? This dharma, Subhūti, cannot be heard by those of inferior inclinations, nor can it be heard, or learned, or memorized, or recited, or mastered by those who hold the false view of a self, who hold the false view of a living being, who hold the false view of a soul, or who hold the false view of a person. That is an impossibility.
