All the beings who reach the Buddhaland of the
Buddha of Limitless Life--Amita Buddha-- are
irreversible in position, thought, and conduct. They
never retreat from their quest for Bodhi, and many of
them will in this very life realize Buddhahood, being
tied by their very last single lifetime only. How
many of them are there?
