English version ‘Śāriputra! From that Buddha-world, passing eastward through seven Ganges-river-sand-like worlds, there is a world named Gold-Gathering. In that land, there is a Buddha named Wonderful-Flower-Valiant-Tathāgata (Ratnakusumavikrāmin), worthy of offerings (Arhat), perfectly enlightened (Samyaksaṃbuddha), now teaching the Dharma. ‘Śāriputra! From that Buddha-world, passing eastward through eight Ganges-river-sand-like worlds, there is a world named Beautiful-Sound. In that land, there is a Buddha named Jewel-Lotus-Abiding-King-Tathāgata (Ratnapadmavyūharāja), worthy of offerings, perfectly enlightened, now teaching the Dharma. ‘Śāriputra! These eight Buddha-lands are all pure, without women and without the five turbidities (referring to the turbidity of the kalpa, views, afflictions, beings, and life).’ ‘Śāriputra! If good men or good women, abiding in the Mahāyāna, hear the names of these eight Buddhas, receive and uphold them without forgetting, and also speak of them to others, there is no possibility that they would be born in the three evil realms (hell, hungry ghosts, animals) or the eight difficulties (hell, hungry ghosts, animals, long-lived gods, border regions, blindness and deafness, worldly cleverness, and before or after a Buddha). If women hear the names of these eight Buddhas, can remember them, and also speak of them to others, there is no possibility that they would receive a female body again.’ ‘Śāriputra! If good men or good women, abiding in the Mahāyāna, hear the names of these eight Buddhas, having heard them, receive and uphold them, and speak of them to others, in this life and future lives they will always have supernormal powers, attain eloquent speech, deeply cultivate meditation, possess dhāraṇīs (mnemonic devices), have pure six senses, constantly encounter sages, and be without fear of devas (Deva-nāga), yakṣas (Yakṣa), humans and non-humans, thieves, water, fire, poison, etc. All fears will be completely eliminated, they will sleep and wake peacefully, have no bad dreams, and will always be protected by the devas.’ At that time, the World-Honored One spoke this verse: ‘If there are good men, and also all women, who hear the names of the eight Buddhas, remember and speak of them to others, their bodies and minds will always be peaceful, without any fears. If they keep their minds focused and do not forget, they will extinguish the sins of countless kalpas, and be reborn among devas and humans, far from all evil realms. Their six senses will always be pure, they will be upright and have dignity, and the eight classes of good deities will always protect them day and night.’
