現在十方千五百佛名並雜佛同號 1.3

1.3

If there are good men, good women, and any other sentient beings who hear the names of these fifty-three Buddhas, such persons will not fall into the evil destinies for hundreds of thousands of myriads of koṭis of asaṃkhyeya kalpas. Furthermore, if there is anyone who can recite the names of these fifty-three Buddhas, wherever they are born they will constantly encounter the Buddhas of the ten directions. Furthermore, if there is anyone who can with utmost sincerity pay reverent homage to the fifty-three Buddhas, their four grave offenses, five heinous sins, and slander of the Vaipulya scriptures will all be eliminated and purified. Because of these Buddhas' fundamental vows, in thought-moment after thought-moment one will immediately have the aforementioned sins eradicated.
