Therefore, we exclusively practice mindfulness of Amitābha Buddha, and do not practice mindfulness of other buddhas." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.55](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1966.2.55) - [Next: 2.57](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1966.2.57) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1966.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1966~en-mt.2.56) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1966.2.56](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1966.2.56) · Pramāṇa
