The 10 Virtues of Loudly Reciting Amitā’s Name (from The Amitābha Sūtra)
Hail to Amitābha Buddha!
A-mye-ta-pur (Tibetan) Ā-mí-tuó-fó 阿彌陀佛 (Chinese)
English
Silk translation —
With regard to the ten virtues of uttering Amita Buddha!
1) Sleep is cast away from the eyes, and
2) Māra is shocked, and
3) The fame of the voice pervades [the world], and
4) The defilements of the evil states are pacified, and
5) External sounds are suppressed, and
6) The mind is unagitated, and
7) One is endowed with the armor of energy, and
8) All buddhas and bodhisattvas are pleased, and
9) All samādhis are made manifest, and
10) One is born in a purified buddha-field.
Sharf translation —
(1) evil voices will not be heard; (2) your invocation of the Buddha will not be scattered; (3) it eliminates sleepiness; (4) it brings courage and energy; (5) it pleases all the devas; (6) it scares away demons; (7) your voice will stir the ten directions; (8) it eliminates suffering; (9) all samādhis appear before you; (10) rebirth is attained in the Pure Land.

Stein Tibetan 724 is a list of the virtues of invoking the Buddha Amitābha in a loud voice. This manuscript is found in the Stein Tibetan Collection, with the shelfmark IOL Tib J 724, numbered folio ka 78 (ka don brgyad); the verso is blank. It was earlier catalogued as Ch. 73 viii, fragment 3. In poṭhi format, 37 × 6.5 cm, it is written in a clear dbu can, with several interlinear corrections in a quicker hand. The entry in La Vallée Poussin 1962: 232 has the title: “Contains the enumeration of the ten qualities of the Amitābha’s (?) magical nail.” This is based on the assumption that the syllable phur is Tibetan, rather than Chinese.
According to Joanthan A. Silk:
The source of this list is… found in a work attributed (wrongly) to the Tang dynasty scholar Kuiji 窺基 (632–682), a commentary on the Smaller Sukhāvatīvyūha sūtra (Amituo jing 阿彌陀經), the Amituojing tongzan shu 阿彌陀經通賛疏.3 There we find the following: 4
有十種功徳。一, 能排睡眠。二, 天魔驚怖。三, 聲遍十方。四, 三塗息苦。五, 外聲不入。 六, 心不散亂。七, 勇猛精進。八, 諸佛歡喜。九, 三昧現前。十, 往生淨土。
3 – Here I understand zàn 賛 in the sense of clarification or summation, and thus tōngzàn as something like comprehensive clarification or summation. 4 – T. 1758 [XXXVII] 341c13–16.
… The most easily accessible version is that in T. 2832 (LXXXV) 1270c1–5. A number of Dunhuang copies in Chinese are known; seven are listed by Tanaka and Zeng 2012: 536, including Stein 2583, 2669, 6958, and Pelliot 2058c, and the text has been studied a number of times. The best round-up is found in Tanaka and Zheng 2012: 536–534 [sic]… Sharf (2003: 305–6 and n. 83) translates the ten items, stating in the note that “the origin of this list of ten benefits is unclear.” Aside from this text, however, he refers only to a later version in T. 2017 ([XLVIII] 962b7–11). Despite the suggestion of several scholars that the list of ten merits is a later addition to the Nantianzhuguo Putidamo chanshi guanmen, Tanaka (1965: 133 = 1983: 224, and see 1980: 228) points out its near ubiquity in the manuscripts… In the end, then, based on the evidence available at present, it seems almost certain that the text contained in IOL Tib J 724 reflects the Chinese list contained in the Smaller Sukhāvatīvyūha commentary titled Amituojing tongzan shu. Whether this was the proximate source, or there was some still-undiscovered intermediary, is not known, but that this text, or something very much like it, was the source does seem to be clear.
Silk notes:
Embedded in a longer text we find a short work, in verse, the Praise of Loudly Reciting the Buddha’s Name, Gaosheng nianfo zan 高聲念佛讃, attributed to the eighth-century monk Fazhao 法照 (c. 747–821?).15 In addition, in this text the ten items are found within a denser context. The ten items read as follows, with the relevant portions underlined:
第一能排除睡障 意令諸子離重昏 障滅身心亦清淨 便見西方百寶門 [1] 第二振動天魔界 令遣心歸念佛門 但使魔宮聞一念 因慈永劫奉慈尊 [2] 第三聲遍十方界 爲令惡趣苦皆停 一一能聞無量壽 咸登淨國任經行 [3] 第四三途幽苦息 須臾變作寶蓮城 罪人盡處花間坐 登時聞法悟無生 [4] 第五無令外聲入 心心直往法王家 光明長照琉璃殿 化生童子散金花 [5] 第六安念心無散 彌陀淨刹想中成 寶樹林間宣妙法 聲聲唯讃大乘經 [6] 第七勇猛勤精進 無明塵埃自消除 念念常觀極樂國 彌陀慈主贈明珠 [7] 第八諸佛皆歡喜 當來護念信心人 一一咸令不退轉 臨終證得紫金身 [8] 第九能入深三昧 寂滅無爲無漏禪 念時無念見諸佛 永超生死離人天 [9] 第十由具諸功徳 恒沙福智果圓明 臨終淨國蓮花座 彌陀聖衆自親迎 [10]

[The loud voiced recitation of the name of the Buddha Amitābha]:
- Can push away the impediment of sleep. Contemplation causes everyone to become free of heavy darkness. Through destroying the impediments, the body and mind become clear. Then one can see the hundred jeweled gates in the Western direction.
- Shakes the realm of Māras. It makes the mind take refuge in the practice of recitation of the name of the Buddha. If [beings of] the palace of Māra hear even a single recitation [of the name of the Buddha], they will compassionately honor the Lord of Compassion forever.
- Makes one’s voice penetrate the entire universe. It stops all sufferings of the evil realms. Everyone able to hear the name of [the Buddha of] Immeasurable Lifespan will all attain the Pure Land and wander there at will
- Pacifies the sufferings of the three evil realms. Instantly [the three realms] transform into a jeweled lotus palace. Evil-doers without exception are located within a flower [before it opens]. Immediately [after it opens] they hear the teaching and awaken to [the fact that all things are] unproduced.
- Prevents external sounds from entering [one’s mind]. In every thought one approaches the home of the Dharma King, the bright light shines for a long time on the Lapis Lazuli Palace, and the transformationally produced children born there scatter golden flowers.
- Pacifies one’s mind making it undisturbed. The Pure Land of Amitābha is perfected in thought. Between the trees of the jeweled forest he proclaims the magnificent teaching. Every voice only praises the scriptures of the Great Vehicle.
- Makes one bravely energetic. The dust of ignorance disappears on its own. Every moment of thought always contemplates the Land of Ultimate Bliss. Amitābha, the Lord of Compassion, bestows the bright pearl [of the teaching].
- Pleases all Buddhas. They will protect those who have faith [in Amitābha]. All of them together prevent [believers from] backsliding. At the end of their lives, [the believers] will attain a golden body.
- Makes possible entry into samādhi. It [leads to] final repose, the unconditioned, meditation free of defilements. When one recites, without mental activity one sees all buddhas,16 and eter- nally surpasses transmigration, becoming free [from rebirth even as] human or god.
- Being endowed with these merits, as many as the sands of the Ganges river, the fruit of merit and wisdom is complete, and at the end of one’s life on a lotus flower in the Pure Land, Amitābha with his retinue will himself come to welcome one.
