“Treating a hundred wicked people to eat, is not equal to treating a good person to eat. Treating a thousand people who eat well is not equal to treating a person who maintains the Five Precepts. Giving a thousand people maintain the Five Precepts, not by offering to a Tu-da-complete. Offering an hundred thousand Tu-da-complete, not equal to offerings to a Tu-da-function. Offering a thousand thousand Tu-da function, not as an offering to an An-function. Offering an Ananda function, no

by making offerings to an Arhat. Offering offerings to the A-la-Han, not equal to the offering for a Bich-Chi-Buddha. Offering a hundred memories of Bich-Chi-Buddha, is not equal to making offerings to a Buddha. Offering a thousand memories of the Three Worlds Buddhas, is not equal to making offerings to an Infinite, Unconscious, Invisible, Immaculate One.
