I'm reading about Buddhism at http://zh.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%E9%98%BF%E5%BD%8C%E9%99%80%E4%BD%9B&variant=zh-tw

I keep seeing "十方三世一切諸" but i don't understand it.

complete passage:

阿彌陀佛的願力,使得任何希望往生到西方極樂世界的眾生,只要「信、願」這兩個條件,就可以往生到西方極樂世界。「設我得佛,十方眾生至心信樂,欲生我國,乃至十念,若不生者不取正覺」。如果「信、願、行」具足,往生的品位還要更高。因為十方三世一切諸佛都稱嘆阿彌陀佛功德,所以念阿彌陀佛者,十方三世一切諸佛都加以護念。而且,不管是根性高下,只要念佛,乃至十念,現前、將來,必定能夠成佛,這是阿彌陀佛成佛前發的大願之一。所以,念阿彌陀佛修持佛法的人,「於我法中,得名第一弟子」(《無量壽經》)。今生能夠接觸到阿彌陀佛,也是無量劫來積累善根、福德、因緣的結果。十方諸佛與大菩薩都發願要幫助念佛眾生往生西方。眾生往生西方成佛之後,得佛智慧,還可以任意到各個佛國,幫助、救度無邊眾生。

十方 = 10 directions (north, south, east, west- four intermediate, above and below)

三世 = 3 worlds (past, present, future)

pretty much all buddhas in "all places" and at "all times".
