world-honoured

To Him do gather the myriad Bodhisattvas, unnumbered as the Sands of Ganges in worship from the Eastern world. As from the East, so gather also to the Infinite One the Bodhisattvas from the Nine Regions of the worlds. With Sacred Psalms the Gautama Buddha himself laudeth the boundless glory of the Infinite One. Seek refuge in the World-Honoured.

Shinran - Wisdom of the East : Buddhist Psalms translated from the Japanese of Shinran Shonin

When he who is born into the land of Pure Peace returneth again into this sinful world, even like unto that Buddha made flesh in India, he wearieth not in seeking the welfare of all men. Seek refuge in the World-Honoured, for His Divine Power is Almighty and beyond man's measure, being made perfect in inconceivable Holiness.
