Description
At that time, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva-Mahasattva expressed His wish to the Buddha: “O Bhagavat! Today I would like to disclose the ways and means, for the good of future sentient beings, of how they can obtain great benefits between their births and deaths…
If all sentient beings of the present and future, whether they are celestial beings, or humans, or men, or women, can chant even one of the Buddhas’ names, they will gain infinite merits. And how much better will it be to invoke many Buddhas’ names!
These sentient beings will gain great benefits while living, and at the time of their deaths, they will not fall into evil paths.”
