English version: The Buddha said, 'What is called a “day” is just one month; there is no five months, ten months; there is no five years, ten years; there is no hundred years, thousand years; there is no ten thousand years, hundred million years, hundred million million years, ten hundred million million years; there is no hundred thousand million million years, nor a thousand million million million years. There is no one kalpa, ten kalpas; there is no hundred kalpas, thousand kalpas; there is no ten thousand kalpas, hundred thousand kalpas; there is no ten million kalpas; there is no hundred thousand million million kalpas.' The Buddha said, 'The light of Amitabha Buddha (无量清净佛), is immeasurable and boundless. The light of Amitabha Buddha, after countless kalpas, countless kalpas, repeated countless kalpas, countless kalpas, incalculable kalpas, kalpas without end, will ultimately never have a time of darkness.' 'The pure land of Amitabha Buddha and the heavens, will ultimately never have a time of decay. Why is this so? Because the lifespan of Amitabha Buddha is extremely long, and the land is very beautiful, therefore it can be so.' The Buddha said, 'The lifespan of Amitabha Buddha, after countless kalpas, is still long and endless, there is no time of Nirvana.' 'Amitabha Buddha teaches in the world, desiring to appropriately teach the countless heavens, people, and creatures that crawl and fly (蜎飞蠕动) in the countless Buddha lands in the eight directions, above and below, wanting them all to be reborn in his land, and all attain the path of Nirvana; those who practice the Bodhisattva path, he wants them all to become Buddhas, and after becoming Buddhas, he wants them to teach others. He also teaches the heavens, people, and creatures that crawl and fly in the eight directions, above and below, wanting them all to become Buddhas; when they become Buddhas, he again teaches countless heavens, people, and crawling creatures, wanting them all to attain the path of Nirvana. Those disciples who can be taught, teach each other in turn, and liberate each other, until they attain the stages of Srotaapanna (须陀洹), Sakrdagamin (斯陀含), Anagamin (阿那含), Arhat (阿罗汉), and Pratyekabuddha (辟支佛). They liberate each other in turn, all attain the path of Nirvana, it is all like this. Amitabha Buddha never desires to enter Nirvana. The beings liberated by Amitabha Buddha continue in this way, and remain for countless kalpas, countless kalpas, incalculable kalpas, and ultimately there will be no time of Nirvana.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

般泥洹时也。八方上下无央数诸天、人民、蜎飞、蠕动之类其生无量清净佛国者不可复胜数；诸作阿罗汉得泥洹之道者亦无央数，都不可复计也。 “无量清净佛恩德、诸所布施八方上下无穷无极，甚深大无量，快善不可言也。无量清净佛智慧教授所出经道，布告八方上下诸无央数，天上、天下甚多不原，其经卷数甚大众不可复计，都无极也。” 佛告阿逸菩萨：“若欲知无量清净佛寿命无极时不也？” 阿逸菩萨言：“愿皆欲闻知之。” 佛言：“明听。悉令八方上下诸无央数佛国中诸天、人民、蜎飞蠕动之类皆使得人道，悉令作辟支佛、阿罗汉，共坐禅一心，都合其智慧为一勇猛，共欲计知无量清净佛寿命、知寿几千亿万劫岁数，皆无有能计知极无量清净佛寿者也。” 佛言：“复令他方面各千须弥山佛国中诸天、人民及蜎飞蠕动之类皆复得人道，悉令作辟支佛、阿罗汉，皆令坐禅一心，共合其智慧都为一勇猛，共欲数无量清净佛国中诸菩萨、阿罗汉计千亿万人，皆无有能数者也。” 佛言：“无量清净佛年寿甚长久浩浩，浩浩照明善甚深，无极无底。谁当能信知其者乎？独佛自知耳。” 阿逸菩萨闻佛言即大欢喜，长跪叉手言：“佛说无量清净佛寿命甚长，威神大 现代汉语译本：当他般涅槃（parinirvana，指佛陀的最终寂灭）的时候，八方上下无数的天人、人民、飞禽、蠕动之类，他们往生到无量清净佛国的人数多得无法胜数；那些证得阿罗汉（arhat，佛教修行者所能达到的最高境界）果位，获得涅槃之道的人也数不胜数，根本无法计算。 无量清净佛的恩德、他所布施的八方上下无穷无尽，极其深远广大，美好得难以言说。无量清净佛以智慧教导所传出的经典教义，遍布八方上下无数的世界，天上、天下非常之多，无法穷尽，其经卷数量众多得无法计算，根本没有边际。 佛陀告诉阿逸（Ajita，弥勒菩萨的别名）菩萨：‘你们想知道无量清净佛的寿命有多长吗？’ 阿逸菩萨说：‘我们都想知道。’ 佛陀说：‘仔细听着。假设让八方上下无数佛国中的所有天人、人民、飞禽、蠕动之类都获得人身，都修成辟支佛（pratyekabuddha，独觉佛）和阿罗汉，一起禅坐一心，将他们的智慧合为一体，共同想要计算无量清净佛的寿命，想知道他活了多少千亿万劫，也没有人能够计算出无量清净佛的寿命。’ 佛陀说：‘再假设让其他方面各千个须弥山（Sumeru，佛教宇宙观中的中心山）佛国中的天人、人民以及飞禽蠕动之类都获得人身，都修成辟支佛和阿罗汉，让他们都禅坐一心，将他们的智慧合为一体，共同想要计算无量清净佛国中的菩萨和阿罗汉，即使计算千亿万人，也没有人能够数得清。’ 佛陀说：‘无量清净佛的寿命非常长久，浩瀚无边，光明照耀，极其深远，没有边际，没有底线。谁能够相信并知道他的寿命呢？只有佛自己知道罢了。’ 阿逸菩萨听了佛陀的话，非常欢喜，长跪合掌说：‘佛陀您说无量清净佛的寿命非常长，威神广大。’

English version: At the time of his parinirvana (the final passing away of a Buddha), the number of heavenly beings, people, flying creatures, and crawling beings from the eight directions, above and below, who were born into the immeasurable pure Buddha-lands was beyond counting; the number of those who attained the path of arhatship (the highest state attainable by Buddhist practitioners) and achieved nirvana was also countless, completely beyond calculation. The immeasurable pure Buddha's grace and virtues, his giving in the eight directions, above and below, are endless and boundless, extremely profound and vast, and wonderfully good beyond words. The teachings and doctrines that the immeasurable pure Buddha imparted through his wisdom, spread throughout the countless worlds in the eight directions, above and below, are so numerous in the heavens and on earth that they cannot be exhausted. The number of scriptures is so vast that it cannot be calculated, and is truly limitless. The Buddha said to Ajita (another name for Maitreya Bodhisattva) Bodhisattva, 'Do you wish to know the immeasurable length of the life of the immeasurable pure Buddha?' Ajita Bodhisattva said, 'We all wish to know it.' The Buddha said, 'Listen carefully. Suppose that all the heavenly beings, people, flying creatures, and crawling beings in the countless Buddha-lands in the eight directions, above and below, were to attain human form, and all were to become pratyekabuddhas (solitary Buddhas) and arhats, and they were to sit in meditation with one mind, combining their wisdom into one powerful force, and they all wished to calculate the lifespan of the immeasurable pure Buddha, to know how many trillions of kalpas (eons) he lived, there would still be no one who could calculate the lifespan of the immeasurable pure Buddha.' The Buddha said, 'Suppose further that the heavenly beings, people, flying creatures, and crawling beings in each of the thousand Sumeru (the central mountain in Buddhist cosmology) Buddha-lands in other directions were to attain human form, and all were to become pratyekabuddhas and arhats, and they were all to sit in meditation with one mind, combining their wisdom into one powerful force, and they all wished to count the bodhisattvas and arhats in the immeasurable pure Buddha-lands, even if they counted trillions of people, there would still be no one who could count them all.' The Buddha said, 'The lifespan of the immeasurable pure Buddha is extremely long, vast and boundless, shining with light, extremely profound, without limit, and without end. Who can believe and know his lifespan? Only the Buddha himself knows it.' Ajita Bodhisattva, upon hearing the Buddha's words, was greatly delighted, knelt down with his palms together, and said, 'Buddha, you have said that the lifespan of the immeasurable pure Buddha is extremely long, and his divine power is great.' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ，智慧光明，巍巍快善。乃独如是乎？”

佛言：“无量清净佛至其然后般泥洹者，其廅楼亘菩萨便当作佛，总领道智，典主教授世间八方上下，所过度诸天、人民、蜎飞蠕动之类，皆令得佛泥洹之道。其善福德当得复如大师无量清净佛，住止无央数劫、无央数劫、不可复计劫、不可复计劫，准法大师，尔乃般泥曰。 “其次摩诃那钵菩萨当复作佛，典主智慧，都总教授，所过度福德当复如大师无量清净佛，止住无央数劫，常复不般泥洹。展转相承，受经道甚明，国土极善，其法如是，终无有断绝，不可极也。” 阿难长跪叉手问佛言：“佛说无量清净佛国中无有须弥山者，其第一四天王、第二忉利天皆依因何等住止乎？愿欲闻之。” 佛告阿难：“若有疑意于佛所耶？八方上下无穷无极、无有边幅，其诸天下大海水，一人升量之尚可枯尽得其底；佛智亦如是，八方上下无穷无极、无有边幅。” 佛言：“我智慧所知见，诸已过去佛如我名字释迦文佛者，复如恒水边流沙，一沙一佛。甫始诸来欲求作佛者，如我名字释迦文佛者，复如恒水边流沙，一沙一佛。佛正坐直南向，视见南方今现在佛如我名字释迦文佛者，复如恒水边流沙，一沙一佛。八方、上下，去来、现在诸佛如我名字释迦 现代汉语译本：‘智慧光明，如此巍峨快速而又善良，难道只有这样吗？’ 佛说：‘当无量清净佛入涅槃之后，其廅楼亘菩萨（菩萨名）便会成佛，总领道智，主管教化世间八方上下，所度化的诸天、人民、飞禽走兽等，都令他们得到佛的涅槃之道。他的善福德将如同大师无量清净佛一样，住世无量数劫、无量数劫、不可计数劫、不可计数劫，作为准则的大师，然后才入涅槃。 ‘其次，摩诃那钵菩萨（菩萨名）将再次成佛，主管智慧，总领教化，所度化的福德也将如同大师无量清净佛一样，住世无量数劫，常常不入涅槃。他们辗转相承，接受佛经教义非常明了，国土极其美好，他们的法就是这样，终究不会断绝，不可穷尽。’ 阿难长跪合掌问佛说：‘佛说无量清净佛国中没有须弥山（佛教中的圣山），那么第一四天王（佛教护法神）、第二忉利天（佛教欲界第二天）都依靠什么而住呢？希望能够听闻。’ 佛告诉阿难说：‘你对佛的智慧有所怀疑吗？八方上下无穷无尽、没有边际，所有天下的大海水，一个人用升来量，尚且可以枯竭见底；佛的智慧也是如此，八方上下无穷无尽、没有边际。’ 佛说：‘我智慧所知所见，过去诸佛如我名字释迦文佛（佛名）的，如同恒河边的沙子一样，一沙一佛。刚刚开始想要成佛的，如我名字释迦文佛的，也如同恒河边的沙子一样，一沙一佛。佛正坐面向南方，看到南方现在诸佛如我名字释迦文佛的，也如同恒河边的沙子一样，一沙一佛。八方、上下，过去、未来、现在诸佛如我名字释迦’

English version: 'Wisdom and light, so majestic, swift, and virtuous, is it only so?' The Buddha said, 'When the Immeasurable Pure Buddha enters Nirvana, his 廅楼亘 Bodhisattva (Bodhisattva's name) will then become a Buddha, leading all the wisdom of the path, governing and teaching the world in all eight directions, above and below. All those he saves, including gods, people, and all kinds of creatures, will attain the path of Buddha's Nirvana. His virtuous merit will be like that of the great master Immeasurable Pure Buddha, dwelling for countless kalpas, countless kalpas, immeasurable kalpas, immeasurable kalpas, as a master of the standard, and then enter Nirvana. 'Next, the Mahānāpaka Bodhisattva (Bodhisattva's name) will again become a Buddha, governing wisdom, leading all teachings. The merit of those he saves will also be like that of the great master Immeasurable Pure Buddha, dwelling for countless kalpas, and never entering Nirvana. They will pass on the teachings, receiving the scriptures with great clarity. Their lands will be extremely good, and their Dharma will be like this, never ceasing, and inexhaustible.' Ananda, kneeling with his palms together, asked the Buddha, 'The Buddha said that in the land of the Immeasurable Pure Buddha, there is no Mount Sumeru (sacred mountain in Buddhism). Then, what do the first Four Heavenly Kings (Buddhist guardian deities) and the second Trayastrimsa Heaven (second heaven in the Buddhist realm of desire) rely on to dwell?' I wish to hear about this.' The Buddha told Ananda, 'Do you have doubts about the Buddha's wisdom? The eight directions, above and below, are infinite and boundless. All the great ocean waters of the world, if one person were to measure them with a 'sheng' (a unit of volume), they could still be dried up and their bottom reached. The Buddha's wisdom is also like this, the eight directions, above and below, are infinite and boundless.' The Buddha said, 'With my wisdom, what I know and see, the Buddhas of the past who had names like mine, Shakyamuni Buddha (Buddha's name), are like the sands of the Ganges River, one Buddha for each grain of sand. Those who have just begun to seek Buddhahood, with names like mine, Shakyamuni Buddha, are also like the sands of the Ganges River, one Buddha for each grain of sand. The Buddha sits facing south, and sees the Buddhas of the present in the south who have names like mine, Shakyamuni Buddha, also like the sands of the Ganges River, one Buddha for each grain of sand. The Buddhas of the eight directions, above and below, past, future, and present, who have names like mine, Shakya' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
