(Buddha Spoken Infinite Life Sutra - 48)
With singleness of heart they seek the Dharma tirelessly. Always desiring to expound the doctrine, they never grow weary. Striking Dharma-drums and hoisting Dharma-banners, they cause the sun of wisdom to shine forth and dissipate the darkness of ignorance. They perform the six acts of accord and respect, and always provide others with the gift of the Dharma. Strong-willed and diligent, their determination never falters. Thus they become lamps to the world and fields of supreme merit; they always become teachers and harbor no thought of discrimination, aversion, or attachment. They seek only the right Path, finding neither joy nor sorrow in other matters. They extract thorns of passion and give peace of mind to multitudes of beings. Because of their supreme wisdom, there is no one who does not revere them. They have destroyed the hindrances of the three defilements and mastered the supernatural powers. They also possess the power of good karma from their past lives, the power of guiding others, of the will, of vowing, of employing skillful means, of continuous practice, of doing good, of meditation, of wisdom, of hearing the Dharma widely. They also possess the power of the Six Paramitas -- generosity, morality, patience, effort, meditation and wisdom -- and the power of right mindfulness, concentration, contemplation, the supernatural faculties, transcendent knowledge, and the power to tame and train living beings in the right way, as well as other powers. Fully possessed of all the physical characteristics and marks, virtues, and eloquence, they have no equals. They revere and worship innumerable Buddhas and are, in turn, always praised by them. They have completed the bodhisattva's course of Paramitas and practiced the samadhis of emptiness, non-form and non-desire, the samadhi of non-arising and non-ceasing and many other samadhis; they have gone far beyond the stages of shravakas and pratyekabuddhas. Ananda, bodhisattvas of that land have innumerable virtues such as these, of which I have given you only an outline. If I were to expound them in full detail, a thousand million kalpas would not be long enough to do so."
(佛說無量壽經 - 48)
專樂求法，心無厭足。常欲廣說，志無疲倦。擊法鼓，建法幢，曜慧日，除癡闇。修六和敬，常行法施，志勇精進，心不退弱。為世燈明，最勝福田。常為師導，等無憎愛，唯樂正道，無餘欣戚。拔諸欲刺，以安群生。功德殊勝，莫不尊敬。滅三垢障，遊諸神通。因力、緣力、意力、願力、方便之力；常力、善力、定力、慧力，多聞之力；施戒忍辱，精進禪定、智慧之力；正念止觀，諸通明力；如法調伏，諸眾生力。如是等力，一切具足。身色相好，功德辯才，具足莊嚴，無與等者。恭敬供養無量諸佛，常為諸佛所共稱歎。究竟菩薩諸波羅蜜，修空無相無願三昧，不生不滅諸三昧門，遠離聲聞緣覺之地。阿難！彼諸菩薩，成就如是無量功德，我但為汝略言之耳。若廣說者，百千萬劫不能窮盡。」
