He said, "Blessed One, when I listen to the great Sanghata sutra dharma-paryaya, I can't get enough of it."
The Blessed One spoke: "Sarvashura, it is good, very good, that you are unable to get enough of the Dharma teachings. Sarvashura, I too am unable to get enough of the Dharma teachings. Therefore, Sarvashura, what need is there to mention that ordinary beings do not get enough? Sarvashura, a son or daughter of the lineage, anyone who generates faith in the Mahayana, will not go to wrong destinies for a thousand aeons; will not become an animal for 5,000 aeons; will not be evil-minded for 12,000 aeons; will not be born in a remote province for 18,000 aeons; will be a major sponsor of the Dharma for 20,000 aeons; will be born in the world of gods for 25,000 aeons; will be celibate for 35,000 aeons; will renounce the householder's way of life for 40,000 aeons; will uphold the Dharma for 50,000 aeons and will meditate on the recollection of former lives for 65,000 aeons. ~ Sanghata sutra
