The Sanghata Sutra is considered a dharmakaya relic - the actual presence of the enlightened mind in the world. The Prajnaparamita Sutra contains the highest teachings of the Buddha and is among the most holy of texts.

Both sutras proclaim the benefits of writing them out in order to create vast amounts of merit.

According to Lama Zopa Rinpoche, one of the main causes to create the merit needed to build the Maitreya Statue is writing the Prajnaparamita Sutra in pure gold. Therefore, for over seven years, Rinpoche has been writing the 8000 verse Prajnaparamita himself, sometimes writing through the night.

Since then, at Rinpoche’s request, several students started a second copy of the Prajnaparamita, written on archival quality rainbow paper. Lama Zopa Rinpoche is also writing the Sanghata Sutra in gold, and a student is writing the Vajra Cutter Sutra in pure silver. When the Maitreya Statue is completed, these precious sutra texts will be enshrined in the very heart of the statue.
