17.8

"The Buddha told the bhikṣu: "The number of those dust motes could be known, but the number of those Buddhas with the identical name of Śākyamuni, who had the identical names of mothers, identical names of fathers, identical names of cities, identical names of disciples, and identical names of attendants, cannot be known. Just as with Śākyamuni, so too with the Buddhas named Fushengzhuang (Invincible Banner); so too with the Buddhas named Luchena (Locana); so too with the Buddhas named Wugoushengyan (Undefiled Supreme Eye); so too with the Buddhas named Wugouguangmingyan (Undefiled Radiant Eye); so too with the Buddhas named Guangmingqingjingwang (Radiant Pure King); so too with the Buddhas named Shanwugouqingjing (Good Undefiled Purity); so too with the Buddhas named Chengjiuwubian-gongdeshengwang (Accomplished Boundless Merit Supreme King); so too with the Buddhas named Baoguangming (Treasure Radiance); so too with the Buddhas named Jixiu (Peaceful Cultivation); so too with the Buddhas named Shengde (Sound Virtue); so too with the Buddhas named Botuomosheng (Padma Supreme); so too with the Buddhas named Riyue (Sun and Moon); and so too with the Buddhas named Pubaogai (Universal Treasure Canopy). Bhikṣu! You should take refuge in all such asaṃkhyeyas of Buddhas of identical names.
