Description
Apramitāyus Sūtra is associated with Mahāyāna Buddhism, which is one of the branch of Buddhism. This sutra is about the Buddha of Immeasurable Life and Wisdom. The Buddha was staying at the Jetavana Monastery and spoke to Mañjuśrī about a special buddha world high above our own. In that world lives the Buddha Aparimitāyurjñāna. The Buddha explained that people who recite, write down, listen to, or honor the praise and mantra (sacred words) of this Buddha will receive many blessings. These include a long life and being reborn in a better place after death. The text also repeats the sacred mantra, or dhāraṇī, of this Buddha many times because countless buddhas are said to chant it. The text appears to be incomplete.
