"If there are those who copy this Sutra of the Infinite-Life Resolute Radiance King Tathagata Dharani, make offerings, uphold it, and read and recite it, the limit of the merit they have achieved cannot be known by measurement." -- Buddha Pronounces the Mahayana Sutra of the Holy Infinite-Life Resolute Radiance Source:www.buddhism.org/Sutras/2/Sutras35.htm |

Continued:
If there are those who copy this Sutra of the Infinite-Life Resolute Radiance King Tathagata Dharani, the place where they are has the status of a treasure pagoda containing the relics of the bodies of Buddhas. Their place is worthy of paying respects and making obeisance.

Continued:
If there are sentient beings that have heard this Dharani, they will never again assume unfortunate life forms, such as birds, four-legged creatures, or multi-legged creatures. They will quickly attain anuttara-samyak-sambodhi, from which there will be no regress.

If those who expect to live a short life earnestly copy and uphold this sūtra, read and recite it, and make offerings and obeisance, they will have their lifespan lengthened to one hundred years. For your sake, I now pronounce the 108-syllable dhāraṇī of the Infinite-Life Resolute Radiance King Tathāgata: namo bhagavate aparimita-āyur-jñāna-suviniścita-tejo-rājāya | tathāgatāya-arhate samyak-saṁbuddhāya | tad-yathā [oṁ puṇya mahā-puṇya | aparimita-puṇya | aparimita-āyuḥ-puṇya-jñāna-saṁbhāro'pacite |]1 oṁ sarva saṁskāra pariśuddha dharmate gagana samudgate | svabhāva viśuddhe mahānaya parivāre svāhā || Source:www.buddhism.org/Sutras/3/sutra04.html |

If there are those who copy or have others copy this Sūtra of the Infinite-Life Resolute Radiance King Tathāgata Dhāraṇī, because of this merit, their [evil] karmas, which would lead them into the hell of uninterrupted suffering, will all be obliterated.

If there are those who copy or have others copy this Sūtra of the Infinite-Life Resolute Radiance King Tathāgata Dhāraṇī, they will neither fall under the rule of the māra-king and his retinue nor take the life-paths of yakṣas and rakṣasas They will not die an accidental death and will never receive those evil requitals mentioned before.

If there are those who copy or have others copy this Sūtra of the Infinite-Life Resolute Radiance King Tathāgata Dhāraṇī, at the end of their lives, 99 koṭi Buddhas will appear before them to receive them to be reborn in the land of that Buddha.
