English version The Sutra of the Merits of Upholding the Names of the Seven Buddhas Translated by the Tripitaka Master Xuanzang of the Great Tang Dynasty under Imperial Decree Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha Bhagavan (World Honored One) was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park in Sravasti (an ancient Indian city), together with immeasurable and countless Shravakas (disciples who hear the Buddha's teachings), Bodhisattva Mahasattvas (great Bodhisattvas), and also Devas (gods), Asuras (demigods), and all the great assembly surrounding him. At that time, the World Honored One said to Sariputra (one of the Buddha's ten great disciples): 'I now, out of compassion for all sentient beings, will briefly speak of the merits arising from upholding the names of the Seven Buddhas, so that those who uphold them may obtain supreme benefits and happiness. You should listen attentively! Think very well, and I will explain it to you in detail.' Sariputra said: 'Yes, World Honored One, I am eager to hear.' The Buddha said to Sariputra: 'In the East, there is a Buddha land named Immaculate Virtuous Adornment (pure and adorned with merits). In that land, there is a Buddha named Sun-Wheel-Illuminating Auspicious Tathagata (the auspicious Tathagata who illuminates like the sun), Arhat (worthy of offerings), Samyak-sambuddha (perfectly and equally enlightened), Vidyacharana-sampanna (perfect in wisdom and conduct), Sugata (well-gone), Lokavid (knower of the world), Anuttara-purusha-damya-sarathi (unsurpassed tamer of men), Shastha devamanushyanam (teacher of gods and humans), Buddha, Bhagavan (World Honored One). He is now there, having compassion for the world, expounding the subtle Dharma for the great assembly, revealing the good in the beginning, the good in the middle, and the good in the end (good in the beginning, middle, and end), with skillful words and meanings, pure and complete, and pure Brahma conduct. If there are those who hear the name of that Buddha, they will transcend the long night of suffering in the cycle of birth and death for hundreds of thousands of kotis (billions) of great kalpas (eons), and wherever they are born, they will always remember their past lives; those who can uphold the name of that Buddha will not lose the merits previously obtained, and for hundreds of thousands of kotis of great kalpas, wherever they are born, their minds will be free from ignorance, and they will enjoy all kinds of wonderful pleasures among gods and humans; those who can establish the image of that Buddha, make offerings, respect, honor, and praise him, will not lose the merits previously obtained, and for immeasurable kotis of great kalpas, wherever they are born, they will always encounter the Buddha and quickly attain Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi (supreme perfect enlightenment).'
