3.4

The Amitāyurdhyāna Sūtra says: At that time, Vaidehī wept aloud and said to the Buddha: 'Bhagavat, please describe for me in detail a place free from sorrow and distress; I wish to be reborn there, having no joy in this defiled and evil world of Jambudvīpa.' Thereupon the Bhagavat emitted light from between his eyebrows, illuminating the worlds of the ten directions everywhere, and the Buddha-lands all appeared within it. When Vaidehī saw them, she said to the Buddha: 'Although these Buddha-lands are pure and all possess radiance, I now wish only to be born in the Sukhāvatī world system, where Amitābha Buddha resides.'
