		It is called Pratyutpanna Samadhi Sutra, and is translated as the "Sutra on the Samadhi of Being in the Presence of All Buddhas." According to this sutra, one who concentrates on Amida from seven days to three months can visualize him and all the other Buddhas.

		Indeed, a great deal of early Mahayana sutras advertise the boundless benefits and merits that are gained by memorising, worshiping, or simply reading a sutra.
		The Pratyutpanna Samadhi Sutra actually tends to efface distinctions between monks and the "bodhisattvas wearing white." The spiritual demands and requirements are equally stringent for both groups and on one occasion, the sutra even interchanges categories when referring to the chief protagonist, Bhadrapala.
		Once again, the Pratyutpanna Samadhi Sutra clarifies the issue: "they [bodhisattvas] never fail to be those among men who are going to achieve the attainment of Buddhahood for themselves, without ever turning back" (Harrison trans.
