Chapter 6 - The Right Faith is Extremely Rare

Subhuti asked the Buddha, “World-honored One, if sentient beings hear words and phrases of this teaching, will they truly believe in it?”

The Buddha told Subhuti, “Do not speak this way. There will be precept-holding people who are blessed during the five hundred years after the Tathagata’s parinirvana. They will have faith in this truth and regard it as reality.

“Know that these people have planted good seeds not only with one buddha, two buddhas, or three, four, five buddhas, but countless buddhas. They will immediately give rise to pure faith when they hear these statements. Even if only for a moment, they will be seen and known by the Tathagata.

“Subhuti, they will obtain immeasurable blessings and merits. Why? Because they do not hold onto any phenomena of self, others, sentient beings, and lifespan.
