With one day or seven days, because the count of recitations is many, the merit is also great; therefore it is the highest level of the highest grade. Furthermore, one thought-moment or ten thought-moments is an analogy for those who arouse the mind late; one day or seven days is an analogy for those who arouse the mind early. Therefore, whether in one thought-moment, ten thought-moments, one day, or seven days, one is immediately reborn in the pure land, abides in the stage of non-retrogression, and proceeds straight to unsurpassed bodhi. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.31](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1966.1.31) - [Next: 1.33](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1966.1.33) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1966.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1966~en-mt.1.32) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1966.1.32](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1966.1.32) · Pramāṇa
