Dharma and his Meaning

"Oh, good man! If the Bodhisattva-Mahasattva listens to this Great Nirvana Sutra, he will know all about the names and letters of all things. If he writes, copies, recites, and explains it extensively to others, and thinks about the meaning, he will know all the meanings of all things. Oh, good man! Someone who listens knows only the name, but not what it means. If someone really write, copies, holds, recites and explains it widely to others, and thinks about the meaning, then one can well know the meaning. Also, in addition, Oh good man! Someone who listens this sutra, hears that there is the Buddha Nature, but he can not see it easily. But if someone indeed writes, copies, recites, explains it widely to others, and thinks carefully about the meaning, such one can well see it. A person who listens this sutra, hears about dana, but does not yet see Danaparamita. If someone indeed writes, copies, recites, explains it widely to others and thinks about the meaning, that person will see well Danaparamita. The same applies to Prajnaparamita. Oh, good man! If a Bodhisattva listens well to this the Great Nirvana Sutra, he will come to know the Dharma and its meaning, he will become perfect in two unhinderednesses and will not be afraid of any Shramanas, Brahmins, the Devas, Maras, Brahma, or any (being) of the world. He will expound the 12 types of sutras. There will be nothing that differs. Not following and listening to others, he indeed knows and approaches of the unsurpassed Enlightenment."
