One million
Does anyone know if a million has any particular spiritual symbolism or significance?

In some parts of the world three zeros (one thousand) has the meaning of infinity. One million would therefore point to an infinity of infinity or infinities.

Other words which fit might be immeasurable, uncountable, unimaginable, inconceivable, all pointing towards our inability to be exact and that we cannot impose limitations.
Examples:
The Buddha did not say that there are 84376 ways to liberation but there are 84000 ways to liberation.
he did not say that there are 71987 discreet thought moment in every second but that there are 72000.
The Dao-de-ching speaks about the ten thousand things which arise from the One, Two and Three. The 10000 things refers to physical manifestations and clearly there are many more than just 10000.
