The Buddha told Maitreya: 'In this world, sixty-two hundred million non-retrogressing bodhisattvas attain rebirth in that land. The bodhisattvas of minor practice are beyond calculation. Not only in this land: in other Buddha-lands, such as the Far-Shining Buddha-field, one hundred and eighty hundred million bodhisattvas will all attain rebirth. Furthermore, in the Buddha-fields of the ten directions, those who attain rebirth are exceedingly numerous and beyond count. If I were to describe them fully, an eon would still not suffice.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2072.3.5) - [Next: 3.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2072.3.7) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2072.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2072~en-mt.3.6) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [樂邦文類](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1969a.1.189) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2072.3.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2072.3.6) · Pramāṇa
