Is this really Japanese and not Chinese?
This sentence nº369686 is Buddhist, and therefore is expressed in every culture that Buddhism has made its impression upon.
The English sentence nº2252913 is the phrase commonly used in English-language Buddhism.
To be strict,
i. it is originally Classical Chinese, but as a phrase it is understood in all sino-xenic sub-systems in Japanese, Korean and Vietnamese
ii. not "every" Buddhist culture, just Sinitic ones; this Chinese phrase is rather not valid in e.g. Tibetan or Kalmyk, I presume
iii. it is not a simple task to establish language of this phrase; it is expressed in semantic Chinese writing, so the language seems to be rather irrelevant
