practice the holy life, and maintain the sacred Dharma. After seven thousand five hundred incalculable eons, he will become the thus-gone, worthy, perfect buddha named Anavatapta. Ānanda, when the Thus-Gone Anavatapta attains awakening, beings will no longer be afflicted by desire, aversion, or delusion, nor will they be tormented by opponents, and all beings will be secure and live out their full lifespans. Ānanda, the lifespan of the Thus-Gone Anavatapta will be eight hundred million years.

“Ānanda, the buddha field of the Thus-Gone Anavatapta will be made from beryl, and its land will be covered with lotuses made of gold from the Jambū River. There, the luxuries, pleasures, foods, and drinks of gods and humans will be available by merely thinking of them. All humans living there will fly through the sky by the power of the five higher perceptions. The luxuries and pleasures of those humans will be like those of the gods in the Heaven of Joy. Those beings will not engage in sexual acts; instead, they will all enjoy and aspire to the joy of the Dharma, and their afflictions will be pacified.

“That thus-gone one will tirelessly teach the Dharma. Just as I now teach the Dharma using all kinds of miraculous displays, he, too, will have no difficulty teaching the Dharma. He will tame beings by merely speaking the Dharma. Why? Because the same Dharma discourse taught here will be taught to both the gods and the humans in that buddha field. In that buddha field, there will be no distinction between day and night.
