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 lesser known of the two versions of this sūtra in the Kangyur, but possibly represents the earlier translation.
s.1佛陀在舍衛城祇樹給孤獨園時,向文殊菩薩述說一個位於世界之上的佛國,在那裡住著無量壽佛陀。他說那些誦讀、書寫、聆聽這位佛陀的讚頌,或對此經文做供養的人,將獲得眾多利益,包括長壽和良好的轉生。由於無數佛陀都在誦讀此經,這位佛陀的咒語或陀羅尼被反覆誦唸多次。這是甘珠爾中較少人知曉的該經兩個版本之一,但可能代表了較早的翻譯。
