Bab 1230: 1230 sections come to the door

Looking at Ishida Hideko's solemn expression, Shen Yue's brows furrowed slightly, "The sayings of predecessors?" Pondering over it, the answer came to him, and Shen Yue counter-asked, "Is it Shakyamuni?"

He was never one to sit and wait for answers.

Ishida Hideko let out a sigh, "You've thought of it too."

Shen Yue murmured, "Yes, I should have thought of it earlier." He instantly felt enlightened upon hearing Ishida Hideko's affirmation, "In the 'Diamond Sutra,' it has been said—If a virtuous man or woman were to fill worlds as numerous as the sands of the Ganges with the seven treasures and give them as alms, they would acquire a great merit."

He suddenly recited a passage from the scriptures, prompting both Ishida Hideko and Nuanyu to exhibit thoughtful expressions.

Shen Yue went on to say, "But Shakyamuni subsequently added—If a virtuous man or woman were to expound even a four-line gatha of this scripture to others, the merit gained would surpass the former."
