Description
The Buddha said to Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva: “This Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva has the most intimate relationship with sentient beings in Jambudvipa.

Therefore, Avalokitesvara, you must apply your miraculous power to circulate this Sutra so that sentient beings in the Saha World can forever enjoy blissful peace and happiness for hundreds and thousands of millions of kalpas.”
