English

English version: If these beings can all achieve the merits possessed by a Bodhisattva in their last life, accumulating such merits to an immeasurable, boundless, billion-fold extent, it would amount to the merit contained within a single pore of a Tathagata's (如来,another name for Buddha) body. Manjushri (文殊师利, a Bodhisattva)! You should know that the number of pores on a Tathagata's (如来,another name for Buddha) body is exactly nine billion nine hundred million, and each pore possesses immeasurable merits as described above.
