Would the merit of that son or daughter of good family increase greatly thereby?” They replied, “It would, Blessed One. It would, Well-Gone One.” The Blessed One said, “Kauśika, even more so, whichever son or daughter of good family extensively speaks about this Perfection of Wisdom, endowed with meaning and letters, to others, that is, teaches, explains, elucidates, clarifies, and correctly shows it, and says, ‘Come, son of good family, hold this Perfection of Wisdom, fully understand it, recite it, master it, attend to it properly, and diligently apply yourself to the Perfection of Wisdom as it has been taught,’ if they exhort in this way, then their merit will increase even more. Why is that? Kauśika, it is from this Perfection of Wisdom that non-returners come to be. Kauśika, let alone establishing the beings of a two-thousandfold intermediate world system in the fruit of non-returning, if a certain son or daughter of good family were to fully establish as many beings as there are in a three-thousandfold great thousand world system in the fruit of non-returning, Kauśika, what do you think?
