Quotes from Gene Reeves

Even if someone were to give a three-thousand great thousandfold world full of the seven precious materials as an offering to the Buddha, great bodhisattvas, pratyekabuddhas, and arhats, the blessings such a person would gain would not equal those of someone who receives and embraces even a single four-line verse of this Dharma Flower Sutra. Happiness greater than this won't be found.

World-Honored One, You must know that in the muddied age Evil monks who do not understand The Buddha's skillful means— How the Dharma is taught In accord with What is appropriate— Will frown upon and abuse us. Repeatedly we will be driven out And exiled far from stupas and monasteries. Remembering the Buddha's orders, We will endure all such evils.
