Summary
s.1The Buddha, while at the Jetavana in Śrāvastī, tells Mañjuśrī of a buddha realm far above the world, in which lives the Buddha Aparimitāyurjñāna. He states that those who recite, write, hear, and so on, the praise of this buddha, or make offerings to this text, will have numerous benefits, including a long life and a good rebirth. As vast numbers of buddhas recite it, the mantra, or dhāraṇī , of this buddha is repeated numerous times. This is the best known of the two versions of this sūtra in the Kangyur.
s.1佛陀在舍衛城的祇樹給孤獨園說法時，向文殊菩薩講述了一個遠在世界之上的佛剎，那裡住著無量壽佛陀。他說明了那些誦讀、書寫、聽聞這位佛陀的讚頌，或者對這部經文進行供養的人，將獲得許多利益，包括長壽和善的轉生。由於無數的佛陀都在誦讀這部經文，這位佛陀的真言或陀羅尼被重複念誦許多次。這是甘珠爾中這部經最為著名的兩個版本之一。
