Sakra: So far the Tathagata has not proclaimed all the qualities of perfection of wisdom, qualities which one acquires by learning, studying and repeating perfection of wisdom. For how else could the limited amount of perfection of wisdom which I learned from the Lord, have spread when just now heretics and Mara were turned away? The Lord: So it is, Kausika. Moreover, not only by learning, studying, and repeating perfection of wisdom does one develop these qualities, but also one who is reverent towards, and concentrating on a copy of this also is taught, and develops advantages here and now. Sakra: I also protect ones who are reverent towards and concentrating on a copy of this perfection of wisdom, and still more so ones who in addition learn, study and repeat this. ~ The Perfection of Wisdom in 8000 Lines or The Prajna Paramita Sutra on the Buddha-Mother' s Producing the Three Dharma Treasures Note: Sakra is the ruler of the Trayastrimsa Heaven according to Buddhist cosmology. Sometimes called Indra in Sanskrit and Inda in Pali. The name sakra means powerful. Source:www.purifymind.com/ThreeDharmaTreasures.htm
