By the power of Amitābha Buddha's primal vow, if someone hears his name and recites it, they will naturally take refuge in that land, just like a boat reaching water and encountering a favorable wind, traveling a thousand li in a single effort—is this not easy? Thus the royal father and relatives of Śākyamuni Tathāgata, the sixty thousand of the Śākya clan, were all reborn in the land of Sukhāvatī, for the Buddha's affinity with sentient beings of this realm is deep. Focusing exclusively on one object while perfectly penetrating the three times—is this not excellent?" > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1967.2.3) - [Next: 2.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1967.2.5) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1967.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1967~en-mt.2.4) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [樂邦文類](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1969a.4.144) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1967.2.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1967.2.4) · Pramāṇa
