Since that land is called "Sukhāvatī" (Utmost Bliss), it should have no suffering sentient beings. For what reason, then, does it say that they gather in the realm of Sukhāvatī to deliver suffering sentient beings? Explanation: When it is said here that they "deliver suffering sentient beings", is it to deliver the suffering sentient beings of their own land, or to deliver the suffering sentient beings of other lands? > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 6.13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1960.6.13) - [Next: 6.15](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1960.6.15) - [Up: 6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1960.6) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1960~en-mt.6.14) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1960.6.14](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1960.6.14) · Pramāṇa
