In that land there is a Buddha called Amitābha, who is teaching the Dharma even now. Śāriputra, for what reason is that land named Sukhāvatī? The sentient beings of that land have none of the manifold sufferings, but experience only manifold pleasures; therefore it is named Sukhāvatī.'" > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.15](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1979.2.15) - [Next: 2.17](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1979.2.17) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1979.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1979~en-mt.2.16) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (3) - [淨土五會念佛誦經觀行儀卷中．下](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2827.2.4) — Classical Chinese - [阿彌陀經要解](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1762.1.36) — Classical Chinese - [佛說阿彌陀經](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.sukhavativyuha-smaller*zh-kumarajiva.1.5) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1979.2.16](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1979.2.16) · Pramāṇa
