This is the work of the Chinese Pure Land master of the 8th century:
"That Buddha, in his bodhisattva stage, made the universal vow:
When beings hear my Name and think on me, I will come and welcome them.
Not discriminating at all between the poor and the rich and well born.
Not discriminating between the inferior and the highly gifted;
Not choosing the learned and those who uphold pure precepts.
Not rejecting those who break precepts and whose evil karma is profound.
Solely making beings turn about and abundantly say the Name,
I can make bits of rubble change into gold."
