Buddhist Stories: The Names of the Buddhas and the Merit and Virtue of Giving, Part 1 of 7, Aug. 11, 2015

If Thus Come One is making too much trouble for you to remember, just say Boundless Body Buddha. “If man or woman hears,” this is long, long time ago. This Buddha is long, long past already. Asamkhyeya eons ago already means countless, countless of Earth time. You cannot even measure how long ago. He already passed away. Even then, if any man or woman heard His name now, at the Buddha’s time, that means just 2,000 years, some years ago, almost 3,000 years, right? “… and have a momentary thought of respect, those people will overstep the heavy offenses involved in birth and death for 40 eons. How much more will that be the case for those who sculpt or paint this Buddha’s image?”
