Monks, the Thus-Gone Aparimitāyus’ great gathering of hearers contains sixty thousand great hearers.

“Monks, all the beings who think well of him should bear in mind the name of the Thus-Gone Aparimitāyus, practice for ten days with an undistracted mind that recollects the Buddha, and continually think of the Thus-Gone Aparimitāyus who dwells in the realm of Sukhāvatī.

“They should also continually recite the dhāraṇī of Śrī Amṛta­dundubhi­svara­rāja.¹² If all beings, three times a day and three times a night, prostrate with the five points of the body to the Thus-Gone Aparimitāyus while thinking of him, after ten days they will have a vision of the Thus-Gone Aparimitāyus and a vision of all the blessed buddhas dwelling in the ten directions. If they dedicate all their roots of virtue to rebirth in the realm of Sukhāvatī, when they die the Thus-Gone Aparimitāyus will be present before them, and they will be reborn in the buddha field of the Thus-Gone Aparimitāyus.

“Monks, this is the dhāraṇī called Amṛta­dundubhi­svara­rāja:
