Quotes from The Diamond Sutra, Chapter 16
Karmic Obstructions can be Purified
“Moreover, Subhūti, if a good man (or woman) receives, holds, reads, and recites this sutra, and if people ridicule him, that man has karmic offenses from his previous lives that destine him for evil paths. However, because in his present life he is ridiculed by others [while abiding by this sutra], his previous karmic offenses are destroyed, and he will attain Anuttarasaṃyaksaṃbodhi.”
金剛經〈能淨業障分〉第十六
「復次，須菩提！善男子、善女人受持讀誦此經，若為人輕賤，是人先世罪業應墮惡道，以今世人輕賤故，先世罪業則為消滅，當得阿耨多羅三藐三菩提。」
