Amitœbha said, “The Noble Ones can give an account of the merits of saving the lives of [all] the sentient beings of [this] world; but how can the virtues of reciting the seven syllables [even] once be enumerated? The attributes of establishing all sentient beings of the three realms without exception in the state of buddhahood can be related; but the benefits of uttering the seven syllables [even] once are inexpressible. The accumulation of merit from making offerings to the Victorious Ones filling space can be calculated;

but the qualities of uttering the seven syllables [even] once are incalculable.”
