佛語阿難:「人眼所見,四十二萬由旬。何以知之?日月去地,四十二萬由旬,人眼見日月,以是知眼所見者。十方廣遠之處,日月億億萬倍,譬如大海中沙,億億萬倍不能計知。人所作善惡殃福,即前後所作殃福,億萬不可復計。一切善惡要在命盡時,作惡逢惡處,作善得善處,殃福皆豫,有處皆豫。有父母、兄弟、妻子得道便止,不得道不斷絕也。」

The Buddha told Ānanda: "What the human eye sees covers four hundred and twenty thousand yojanas. How is this known? The sun and moon are four hundred and twenty thousand yojanas away from the earth; human eyes can see the sun and moon, and by this it is known what the eyes can see. In the broad and distant regions of the ten directions, the suns and moons are hundreds of millions of times more numerous, like the sands in the great ocean, hundreds of millions of times beyond count. The good and bad, disasters and blessings created by human beings—that is, the disasters and blessings created earlier and later—are hundreds of millions and beyond reckoning. All good and bad essentially culminate when life ends: doing bad, one meets bad realms; doing good, one attains good realms. Disasters and blessings are all prepared in advance; their realms are all prepared in advance. If one's parents, brothers, wife, and children attain the Way, it ceases; if they do not attain the Way, it never ends."
