Explanation: According to this sūtra, through seven days of mindfulness of the Buddha, even if one gives rise to regret, upon hearing the name of the Buddha Bhaiṣajyaguru, one still attains rebirth. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.31](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1963.2.31) - [Next: 2.33](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1963.2.33) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1963.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1963~en-mt.2.32) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [釋淨土群疑論](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1960.2.43) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1963.2.32](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1963.2.32) · Pramāṇa
