The Buddha told Maitreya: 'In this world, there are 6.7 billion non-retrogressing bodhisattvas who will attain rebirth in that land. Each and every bodhisattva has already made offerings to countless buddhas, being second only to one such as Maitreya. Bodhisattvas of minor practices and those who have cultivated a little merit are beyond counting, and all will attain rebirth. Moreover, not only will the bodhisattvas of my realm attain rebirth, but in other buddha lands, such as the Far-Shining Buddha's realm, there are eighteen billion bodhisattvas who will all attain rebirth. Furthermore, not only do bodhisattvas from these fourteen buddha lands attain rebirth, but those who attain rebirth from immeasurable buddha lands throughout the worlds of the ten directions are exceedingly numerous and beyond count. If I were to explain this fully, a whole kalpa would not be enough to exhaust it; I have now only spoken of it briefly.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.188](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1969a.1.188) - [Next: 1.190](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1969a.1.190) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1969a.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1969a~en-mt.1.189) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (2) - [往生集](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2072.3.6) — Classical Chinese - [佛說無量壽經](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.sukhavativyuha*zh-sanghavarman-wei.2.72) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1969a.1.189](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1969a.1.189) · Pramāṇa
