"Subhuti , as many as there are sands in the Ganges River, so many Ganges rivers, what do you mean, are there many sands in the Ganges rivers?" Subhuti said: "Very many, World Honored One. But there are countless Ganges rivers, let alone their sands." "Subhuti, I tell you the truth now. If a good man or good woman fills the sands of the Ganges rivers with the seven treasures the number of sands in the Ganges rivers of the three thousand worlds , Will you get much blessing if you use your money to give? Subhuti said: "Very many, World Honored One." The Buddha told Subhuti: "If a good man or a good woman accepts and upholds even four verses of this sutra and preaches it to others, this merit will be greater than the previous merit." "

[Translation]

"Subhuti, just like the number of sands in the Ganges River, if there are the same number of Ganges rivers as the number of sands in the Ganges, you say, there are so many rivers Does the total amount of sand in it count?

Subhuti replied: "Very many, World Honored One." The number of these rivers alone is already too numerous to count, not to mention the sand in the rivers! "

" Subhuti, let me tell you the truth today, if a kind-hearted man or a kind-hearted woman uses the seven treasures as much as the sand in the river just now to give alms, will this person get much merit and retribution? ?

Subhuti replied: "Very many, World Honored One." "

The Buddha told Subhuti: "If there is a kind-hearted man or kind-hearted woman who memorizes the four lines of the Diamond Sutra from this " Diamond Sutra" and preaches the Dharma to others, then the merits and rewards this person will receive will be better than the previous person. "
