持说法，获得多闻，得与如是法要相应？” 佛言：“庆喜！若善男子、善女人，于百佛所得加持说法，或有二百，或三、四、五百，或千，或二千，或三、四、五、六、七、八、九，或十千佛所加持说法。或有二百千，或有俱胝那庾多百千佛所，得说法闻持。庆喜！若有菩萨得此如来藏法，书写经卷、读诵受持、思惟其义、为他广说，而彼菩萨应作是念：‘我今获得无上菩提。’其人应受人、天、阿苏罗供养恭敬。” 佛说是已唯然欢喜，尔时世尊复说伽他曰： “菩萨闻此修多罗， 作是思惟获胜觉； 若有人手得此经， 人天礼拜应恭敬。 诸佛世尊大导师， 称赞彼人人中最， 亦名最胜之法王。 若经入于彼人手， 是人照曜如满月， 应受礼敬如世尊， 能持法炬为世雄， 由入此经于彼手。” 尔时世尊说是经已，金刚慧菩萨摩诃萨等，并诸菩萨、诸大声闻众、人、天、阿苏罗等，闻佛所说，欢喜奉行。 大方广如来藏经 现代汉语译本： 阿难（庆喜，Ananda）如何才能受持正法，获得广博的知识，并与这样的重要法门相应呢？' 佛说：'阿难（庆喜，Ananda）！如果善男子、善女人，在一百尊佛那里得到加持说法，或者两百尊，或者三百、四百、五百尊，或者一千尊，或者两千尊，或者三千、四千、五千、六千、七千、八千、九千，或者一万尊佛那里得到加持说法。或者有二十万尊，或者有俱胝那庾多（kotinayuta）百千佛那里，得到说法闻持。阿难（庆喜，Ananda）！如果菩萨得到这如来藏法，书写经卷、读诵受持、思维其中的意义、为他人广泛解说，那么那位菩萨应当这样想：‘我现在获得了无上菩提。’这个人应当接受人、天、阿修罗的供养恭敬。' 佛说完这些话后，阿难（庆喜，Ananda）非常欢喜。当时，世尊又说了偈颂： '菩萨听闻这部修多罗（sutra），这样思维就能获得殊胜的觉悟；如果有人手中得到这部经，人天都应礼拜恭敬。 诸佛世尊，伟大的导师，称赞那个人是人中最殊胜的，也称为最殊胜的法王。如果这部经进入那人的手中，那人就如满月般照耀，应当接受礼敬如同世尊，能手持法炬，成为世间的英雄，因为这部经进入了他的手中。' 当时，世尊说完这部经后，金刚慧菩萨摩诃萨（Vajra Wisdom Bodhisattva-Mahasattva）等，以及各位菩萨、各位大声闻众、人、天、阿修罗等，听闻佛所说，欢喜地信受奉行。 《大方广如来藏经》

English version: ‘Ananda (Joyful One)! How can one uphold the Dharma, acquire extensive learning, and be in accordance with such an essential Dharma teaching?’ The Buddha said: ‘Ananda (Joyful One)! If a virtuous man or virtuous woman receives the empowerment of Dharma teaching from one hundred Buddhas, or two hundred, or three, four, five hundred, or one thousand, or two thousand, or three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, or ten thousand Buddhas. Or if there are two hundred thousand, or kotinayuta (countless) hundreds of thousands of Buddhas, from whom one receives the Dharma teaching and upholds it. Ananda (Joyful One)! If a Bodhisattva obtains this Tathagatagarbha Dharma, writes the scriptures, recites and upholds them, contemplates their meaning, and widely explains them to others, then that Bodhisattva should think: ‘I have now attained unsurpassed Bodhi.’ That person should receive offerings and reverence from humans, devas, and asuras.’ After the Buddha spoke these words, Ananda (Joyful One) was very pleased. At that time, the World-Honored One spoke the following verses: ‘A Bodhisattva, hearing this sutra, by contemplating in this way, attains supreme enlightenment; if someone obtains this scripture in their hand, humans and devas should bow and revere them. The Buddhas, the World-Honored Ones, the great teachers, praise that person as the most excellent among humans, and also call them the most supreme Dharma King. If this scripture enters that person's hand, that person shines like the full moon, and should receive reverence like the World-Honored One, able to hold the torch of Dharma, becoming a hero of the world, because this scripture has entered their hand.’ At that time, after the World-Honored One spoke this scripture, Vajra Wisdom Bodhisattva-Mahasattva and others, along with all the Bodhisattvas, all the great Shravaka assembly, humans, devas, asuras, and others, hearing what the Buddha had said, joyfully accepted and practiced it.
