English version Various kinds of musical instruments played music that was even more exquisite, each holding their instruments and coming to pay homage to Amitabha Buddha (无量清净佛), thus making offerings to Amitabha Buddha and all the Bodhisattvas and Arhats. The gods and humans also played grand music together, using it to praise Amitabha Buddha and all the Bodhisattvas and Arhats. At that time, the joy was beyond words. The gods and humans who arrived first would turn aside to make way for those who came later, and those who came later would make offerings as before, each making way for the others. ‘Then, countless Buddha lands in the East, beyond calculation—like the sands along the Ganges River, each grain of sand representing a Buddha, their number being so vast—each Buddha sent countless Bodhisattvas, beyond calculation, all flying to where Amitabha Buddha was, paying homage to Amitabha Buddha, touching their heads to the Buddha's feet, and then all sitting to one side to listen to the teachings. After listening to the teachings, all the Bodhisattvas were very joyful, rising to pay homage to Amitabha Buddha before departing.’ ‘Then, countless Buddha lands in the West—also like the sands along the Ganges River, each grain of sand representing a Buddha, their number being so vast—each Buddha sent countless Bodhisattvas, beyond calculation, all flying to where Amitabha Buddha was, paying homage to Amitabha Buddha as before, touching their heads to the Buddha's feet, and then all sitting to one side to listen to the teachings.

清净佛所，则前为无量清净佛作礼而去。 “则复四角无央数诸佛国——各复如恒水边流沙，一沙一佛，其数各如是——诸佛各复遣诸菩萨无央数都不可复计，皆飞到无量清净佛所，前为无量清净佛作礼已，头面着佛足，悉却坐一面听经。听经竟，诸菩萨皆大欢喜，起为无量清净佛作礼而去。” 佛言：“八方上下诸无央数佛，更遣诸菩萨飞到无量清净佛所，听经供养，转更相开避。 “如是，则下面诸八方无央数佛国——一方者各复如恒水边流沙，一沙一佛，其数复如是——诸佛各遣诸菩萨无央数都不可复计，皆飞到无量清净佛所，前为阿弥陀佛作礼，以头面着佛足，悉却坐听经。听经竟，诸菩萨皆大欢喜，起为无量清净佛作礼而去。 “上方诸佛更遣诸菩萨飞到无量清净佛所，听经供养相开避，前来者则去避后来者，后来者供养亦复如是，终无休绝极时。 “譬若如恒沙刹， 东方佛国如是， 各各遣诸菩萨， 稽首礼无量觉； 西、南、北面皆尔， 如是恒沙数土， 是诸佛遣菩萨， 稽首礼无量觉。 此十方菩萨飞， 皆以衣裓诸华， 天拘蚕种种具， 往供养无量觉。 诸菩萨皆大集， 稽首礼无际光， 绕三匝叉手住， 叹国尊无量觉。 现代汉语译本 在清净佛（指阿弥陀佛）的处所，他们就向前为无量清净佛（阿弥陀佛）顶礼，然后离去。 接着，在四角有无数的佛国——每个佛国都像恒河边的沙子一样多，每一粒沙子都代表一尊佛，数量如此之多——这些佛各自派遣无数的菩萨，多到无法计算，都飞到无量清净佛（阿弥陀佛）的处所，向前为无量清净佛（阿弥陀佛）顶礼后，头面触地礼拜佛足，然后都退坐在一旁听经。听经完毕，菩萨们都非常欢喜，起身向无量清净佛（阿弥陀佛）顶礼后离去。 佛说：‘八方上下无数的佛，也派遣菩萨飞到无量清净佛（阿弥陀佛）的处所，听经供养，他们之间互相避让。 ‘像这样，下面八方的无数佛国——每一方都像恒河边的沙子一样多，每一粒沙子都代表一尊佛，数量也是如此之多——这些佛各自派遣无数的菩萨，多到无法计算，都飞到无量清净佛（阿弥陀佛）的处所，向前为阿弥陀佛顶礼，头面触地礼拜佛足，然后都退坐听经。听经完毕，菩萨们都非常欢喜，起身向无量清净佛（阿弥陀佛）顶礼后离去。 ‘上方诸佛也派遣菩萨飞到无量清净佛（阿弥陀佛）的处所，听经供养，互相避让，先来的就避让给后来的，后来的供养也是如此，永远没有停止的时候。 ‘譬如像恒河沙数的世界，东方佛国也是如此，各自派遣菩萨，稽首顶礼无量觉（阿弥陀佛）；西、南、北面也是这样，像这样恒河沙数的世界，这些佛派遣菩萨，稽首顶礼无量觉（阿弥陀佛）。这十方的菩萨飞来，都用衣襟盛着各种鲜花，天上的各种供养品，前往供养无量觉（阿弥陀佛）。菩萨们都聚集在一起，稽首顶礼无际光（阿弥陀佛），绕佛三圈，合掌站立，赞叹国土尊贵的无量觉（阿弥陀佛）。’

English version At the place of the Pure Buddha (referring to Amitabha), they would go forward to pay homage to the Immeasurable Pure Buddha (Amitabha) and then depart. Then, in the four corners, there are countless Buddha lands—each land as numerous as the sands along the Ganges River, with each grain of sand representing a Buddha, their number being so vast—these Buddhas each send countless Bodhisattvas, beyond calculation, all flying to the place of the Immeasurable Pure Buddha (Amitabha), prostrating before the Immeasurable Pure Buddha (Amitabha), touching their heads to the Buddha's feet, and then sitting to one side to listen to the teachings. After listening to the teachings, the Bodhisattvas are all very joyful, rise to pay homage to the Immeasurable Pure Buddha (Amitabha), and then depart. The Buddha said, 'The countless Buddhas in the eight directions, above and below, also send Bodhisattvas flying to the place of the Immeasurable Pure Buddha (Amitabha), to listen to the teachings and make offerings, and they make way for each other. 'Like this, the countless Buddha lands in the eight directions below—each direction as numerous as the sands along the Ganges River, with each grain of sand representing a Buddha, their number being so vast—these Buddhas each send countless Bodhisattvas, beyond calculation, all flying to the place of the Immeasurable Pure Buddha (Amitabha), prostrating before Amitabha Buddha, touching their heads to the Buddha's feet, and then sitting to listen to the teachings. After listening to the teachings, the Bodhisattvas are all very joyful, rise to pay homage to the Immeasurable Pure Buddha (Amitabha), and then depart. 'The Buddhas above also send Bodhisattvas flying to the place of the Immeasurable Pure Buddha (Amitabha), to listen to the teachings and make offerings, making way for each other. Those who come first make way for those who come later, and those who come later make offerings in the same way, never ceasing. 'For example, like the worlds as numerous as the sands of the Ganges, the Buddha lands in the east are like this, each sending Bodhisattvas, bowing their heads in reverence to the Immeasurable Awakened One (Amitabha); the west, south, and north are also like this, like this, the worlds as numerous as the sands of the Ganges, these Buddhas send Bodhisattvas, bowing their heads in reverence to the Immeasurable Awakened One (Amitabha). These Bodhisattvas from the ten directions fly, all carrying various flowers in their robes, and various heavenly offerings, going to make offerings to the Immeasurable Awakened One (Amitabha). The Bodhisattvas all gather together, bowing their heads in reverence to the Boundless Light (Amitabha), circling the Buddha three times, standing with their palms together, praising the Immeasurable Awakened One (Amitabha), the honored one of the land.'

皆持华散佛上， 心清净称无量， 于佛前住自说： ‘愿使我刹如此。’ 所散华止虚空， 合成盖百由旬， 其柄妙严饰好， 悉遍覆众会上。 诸菩萨都往至， 诸尊刹难得值， 如是人闻佛名， 快安隐得大利。 吾等类得是德， 诸此刹获所好， 计本国若如梦， 无数劫净此土。 见菩萨绕世尊， 威神猛寿无极， 国觉众甚清净， 无数劫难思议。 时无量世尊笑， 三十六亿那术， 此数光从口出， 遍照诸无数刹。 则回光还绕佛， 三匝已从顶入， 色霍然不复现， 天亦人皆欢喜。 廅楼亘从坐起， 正衣服稽首问， 白佛言：‘何缘笑？ 唯世尊说是意。 愿授我本空莂， 慈护成百福相。’ 闻是诸音声者， 一切人踊跃喜， 梵之音及雷霆， 八种音深重声。 佛授廅楼亘决： ‘今吾说，仁谛听。 众世界诸菩萨， 到须阿提礼佛， 闻欢喜、广奉行， 疾得至得净处。 已到此严净国， 便速得神足俱， 眼洞视、耳彻听， 亦还得知宿命。 无量觉授其决， 我前世有本愿， 一切人闻说法， 皆疾来生我国。 吾所愿皆具足， 从众国来生者， 皆悉来到此 间， 一生得不退转。 若菩萨更兴愿， 欲使国如我刹， 亦念度一切人， 令各愿达十方。 速疾超便可到， 安乐国之世界， 至无量光明土， 供养于无数佛。 其奉事亿万佛， 飞变化遍诸国， 恭敬已欢喜去， 便还于须摩提。’ 非有是功德人， 不得闻是经名； 唯有清净戒者， 乃逮闻此正法。 曾更见世尊雄， 则得信于是事， 谦恭敬、闻奉行， 便踊跃大欢喜。 恶骄慢、弊懈怠， 难以信于此法； 宿世时见佛者， 乐听闻世尊教。 譬从生盲冥者， 欲得行开导人， 声闻悉惑大乘， 何况于俗凡诸？ 天中天相知意， 声闻不了佛行， 辟支佛亦如是， 独正觉乃知此。 使一切悉作佛， 其净慧知本空， 复过此亿万劫， 计佛智无能及。 讲议说无数劫， 尽寿命犹不知， 佛之慧无边幅， 如是行清净致。 奉我教乃信是， 唯此人能解了， 佛所说皆能受， 是则为第一证。 人之命希可得， 佛在世甚难值， 有信慧不可致， 若闻见精进求。 闻是法而不忘， 便见敬得大庆， 则我之善亲厚， 以是故发道意。 设令满世界火。 过此中得闻法， 现代汉语译本 在这一生中就能达到不退转的境界。 如果菩萨进一步发愿，想要使自己的国土像我（佛）的刹土一样，也想着要度化一切众生，使他们各自的愿望都能通达十方世界。 那么他就能迅速地超越，到达安乐世界的国土，到达无量光明的净土，供养无数的佛。 他可以奉事亿万诸佛，飞身变化遍游各个佛国，恭敬供养后欢喜离去，然后返回须摩提（Sukhāvatī，极乐世界）。' 不是有这样功德的人，就不能听到这部经的名字；只有持守清净戒律的人，才能听闻到这部正法。 曾经见过世尊雄伟庄严的人，才能相信这些事，谦虚恭敬地听闻并奉行，就会踊跃欢喜。 那些傲慢、邪恶、懈怠的人，难以相信这部法；宿世曾经见过佛的人，才乐于听闻世尊的教诲。 譬如一个天生的盲人，想要引导别人走路一样，声闻乘的修行者都对大乘佛法感到迷惑，更何况是世俗的凡夫俗子呢？ 天中之天（佛）才能完全了解其中的含义，声闻乘的修行者不了解佛的修行，辟支佛（Pratyekabuddha，独觉）也是如此，只有独觉的佛才能明白这些道理。 即使让一切众生都成佛，他们以清净的智慧知道万法本空，再经过亿万劫的时间，用佛的智慧也无法完全理解。 即使讲说无数劫的时间，用尽寿命也无法完全了解，佛的智慧是无边无际的，只有像这样清净的修行才能达到。 奉行我的教诲才能相信这些，只有这样的人才能理解，佛所说的一切都能接受，这就是第一证明。 人身难得，佛在世时更是难得一遇，有信心和智慧更是难以获得，如果能听闻佛法并精进求法。 听闻佛法而不忘失，就会感到敬畏并获得巨大的庆幸，那么他就是我最亲近的善友，因此应当发起菩提心。 即使让整个世界都充满火焰，如果能从中听到佛法，
