Summary

One time, the Buddha was in the land of Magadha, surrounded by a great assembly of bodhisattvas, including Maitreya, monks, nuns, laymen, laywomen, celestial beings, dragons, spirits, and asuras. A laywoman respectfully asked the Buddha to reveal the names of Buddhas, bodhisattvas, and their lands in the ten directions. The Buddha listed them, describing their attributes.
