Scroll of Immeasurable Merit
“Even the offering of universes cannot compare to the merit of hearing and holding this Dharma.”
🪔 What Is This Scroll?
Chapter 11 of the Diamond Sutra shatters attachment to material virtue. The Buddha speaks to Subhuti and declares: the **highest offering** is not gold, not jewels, not universes filled with treasure—but the **transmission of Truth**. To hear, retain, and share even a **few lines** of the Sutra with clarity and love is to open the gate of **infinite merit**.
- Symbol Element 1: Diamond — Indestructible clarity
- Symbol Element 2: Empty Scroll — Formless wisdom transmitted
- Visual Cue: Moonlit teaching under the Bodhi Tree
✍️ Verse Reflections
- Buddha asks: “If someone filled the universe with seven treasures and gave them all away… would their merit be great?”
Meaning: The path begins with generosity—but there is a mirror beyond the form. - Subhuti replies: “Very great.”
Meaning: He affirms the scale of such a gift—but it is a setup for paradox. - Buddha declares: “Yet if someone receives, remembers, and teaches even four lines of this Sutra, their merit is greater.”
Meaning: Dharma transcends matter. **Wisdom shared dissolves suffering.**
