大通方廣懺悔滅罪莊嚴成佛經 1.14

1.14

At that time, the Buddha told the bodhisattva mahāsattva Xīnxiàng: "Good man, if I were to expound in full the names of all the buddhas of the ten directions, I could not finish speaking them in hundreds of thousands of myriad kalpas. The drops of all waters could be counted, but no one could know the names of the buddhas. Mount Sumerus could have their weight known, but no one could know the names of the buddhas. The particles of dust of all the great earths could be known, but no one could know the names of the buddhas. The limits of the divisions of space could be fully known, but no one could know the names of the buddhas. I will now briefly speak for you the names of the buddhas of the three times. If a person hears them and they pass through their ears but once, that person, at the end of life, will also be born in heaven. If, having heard them, they believe and revere them, and furthermore can copy them, recite the names, and pay homage for the rest of their lives, they will eradicate boundless grave sins of birth and death and obtain boundless merit. When that person's life comes to an end, they will be reborn at will in the worlds of the ten directions, and will also see me and see all the buddhas of the future Bhadrakalpa."
