It is also said that in the past he was the Buddha Supreme Wisdom Respected King of the Nāga Race, and it is said that he will become a buddha in the future as well; the Avataṃsaka-sūtra says he is here on Mount Qingliang (Wutai), together with ten thousand bodhisattvas. Avalokiteśvarāya means 'Contemplator of Sovereignty'; contemplating the three karmas \[of those who\] take refuge and removing the suffering of sentient beings, in abbreviated form he is called Guanyin. The Guanyin shouji jing says: 'After Amitābha Buddha passes into extinction, he will next become a buddha named King of the Mountain of Universal Radiant Merit. After this Buddha passes into extinction, Mahāsthāmaprāpta Bodhisattva will next become a buddha named King of the Well-Abiding Treasure of Merit.' As for 'Obtaining Great Strength' (Mahāsthāmaprāpta), wherever he arrives, worlds tremble and there is great majesty; sentient beings who encounter him naturally have their suffering cease and obtain great, superior joy; he possesses the preceding two abilities. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.31](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.2.31) - [Next: 2.33](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.2.33) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723~en-mt.2.32) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [阿彌陀經通贊疏](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1758.1.86) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.2.32](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.2.32) · Pramāṇa
