Answer: A hundred and one arisings and ceasings is called a kṣaṇa; sixty kṣaṇas are called a single thought (eka-citta). What is called 'thought' here does not take this measurement of time; it simply means keeping Amitābha Buddha in mind, either in his general marks or specific marks, following the conditions of contemplation with no other thoughts in mind. A succession of ten such thoughts is called 'ten recitations.' Merely calling the name is also like this. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.90](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1819.1.90) - [Next: 1.92](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1819.1.92) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1819.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1819~en-mt.1.91) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1819.1.91](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1819.1.91) · Pramāṇa
