佛告阿難：「無量壽佛，威神光明最尊第一，諸佛光明所不能及。或有佛光，照百佛世界、或千佛世界。取要言之，乃照東方恒沙佛剎、南西北方四維上下，亦復如是。或有佛光，照于七尺、或照一由旬。如是轉倍，乃至照一佛剎。是故無量壽佛，號無量光佛、無邊光佛、無礙光佛等。其有眾生遇斯光者，三垢消滅，身意柔軟，歡喜踊躍，善心生焉。若在三塗見此光明，無復苦惱，壽終之後皆蒙解脫。」

The Buddha told Ānanda: 'The awesome spiritual power and light of the Buddha of Immeasurable Life are supreme and foremost, unmatched by the light of any buddha. The light of some buddhas illuminates a hundred buddha worlds, or a thousand buddha worlds. To put it essentially, it illuminates as many buddha lands as the sands of the Ganges in the east, and the same is true for the south, west, north, the four intermediate directions, above, and below. The light of some buddhas illuminates seven feet, or one yojana; increasing by multiples in this way, it may even illuminate one buddha realm. For this reason, the Buddha of Immeasurable Life is named the Buddha of Immeasurable Light, the Buddha of Boundless Light, the Buddha of Unobstructed Light, and so forth. If any sentient beings encounter this light, the three defilements are eliminated, their bodies and minds become supple, they leap for joy, and a wholesome mind arises. If those in the three wretched paths see this light, they will have no more suffering and distress, and after their lives end, they will all receive liberation.'
