3.6

The Larger Sukhāvatīvyūha Sūtra says: Maitreya addressed the Buddha: 'In this world, how many bodhisattvas attain rebirth in Sukhāvatī?' 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.'
