English version The Western Pure Land is so venerable, and Amitayus Buddha is so rare in the world; He can eliminate the karmic obstacles of countless kalpas since beginningless time, and make all those sufferings and afflictions disappear. If someone can, with a subtle mind, often contemplate the Pure Land, and widely explain it to sentient beings, then they can see Amitabha Buddha with their eyes. The Buddha's physical form manifests light, like Jambudvipa gold, incomparable, His height is immeasurable, reaching the number of yojanas, up to six hundred trillion nayutas; The white hair between his eyebrows is like five Mount Sumerus, and his dark blue eyes are as clear as the four great oceans, Light emanates from every pore, and one pore contains many great chiliocosms. In one world, there are as many dust particles as the sands of the Ganges River, and each dust particle has eighty-four thousand forms, And each form is like this again, the contemplator and the contemplated will appear accordingly. By contemplating the Buddha's body, one can see the Buddha's mind, and sentient beings who remember and contemplate can see the manifested Buddha, From contemplating the Buddha's marks and characteristics, one can enter the non-origination forbearance (anutpattika-dharma-ksanti), and receive boundless compassion with samadhi. The Buddha's body is immeasurably vast and boundless, and he uses the power of his past vows to teach and guide, Those who remember and contemplate can achieve enlightenment, and their supernatural powers will fill the void. If sentient beings possess the three minds, namely, the sincere mind, the deep mind, and the mind of dedication and aspiration, and are diligent, courageous, and non-retreating, They will immediately be received by the hand of the Tathagata Buddha, and enter the seven-jeweled palace, where the light is vast. Their bodies will joyfully ascend the diamond platform, following the Buddha, and in the snap of a finger, They will practice the Mahayana, understand the ultimate truth, and be reborn in the seven-jeweled lotus pond. Amitabha Buddha has great compassion, and his ten powers are difficult to praise and describe, By reciting his name once, and generating one thought, one can eliminate the karmic offenses of eighty billion kalpas; Therefore, he saves and liberates sentient beings without end, and is thus called Amitayus (Immeasurable Life). In the past, the World Honored One was on Mount Grdhrakuta, explaining the subtle causes and conditions to the assembly, Enabling them to be free from sorrow and affliction, and forming a special connection with the sentient beings of Jambudvipa. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 提, 超脱一切诸苦趣。 净妙国即极乐界, 修三福发菩提心, 作是念者住坚专, 故说无量寿佛观。 如是功德不可说, 不可说者妙光明, 无量清净平等施, 五浊众生咸作佛。 断彼一切颠倒想, 犹如以水投海中, 湿性混合无不同, 虽有圣智难分别, 人人皆为无量寿, 稽首瞻礼即西方。 佛说观无量寿佛经 宋西域三藏疆良耶舍译 如是我闻:

一时,佛在王舍城耆阇崛山中,与大比丘众千二百五十人俱;菩萨三万二千,文殊师利法王子而为上首。尔时王舍大城有一太子,名阿阇世,随顺调达恶友之教,收执父王频婆娑罗,幽闭置于七重室内,制诸群臣,一不得往。国大夫人,名韦提希,恭敬大王,澡浴清净,以酥蜜和麨,用涂其身,诸璎珞中盛葡萄浆,密以上王。尔时大王,食麨饮浆,求水漱口;漱口毕已,合掌恭敬,向耆阇崛山,遥礼世尊,而作是言:“大目乾连是吾亲友,愿兴慈悲,授我八戒。”时目乾连如鹰隼飞,疾至王所;日日如是,授王八戒。世尊亦遣尊者富楼那,为王说法。如是时间经三七日,王食麨蜜得闻法故,颜色和悦。 时阿阇世问守门人:“父王今者犹存在耶?”时守门者白言:“大王!国大夫人身涂 现代汉语译本 (修行者)能够超脱一切痛苦的境地。 清净美好的国土就是极乐世界,(在那里)修行三福,发起菩提心。 能够这样思考的人,心志坚定专一,所以说要观想无量寿佛(Amitayus)。 这样的功德是不可言说的,这不可言说的功德就是微妙的光明。 无量清净平等地施予(众生),五浊恶世的众生都能成佛。 断除他们一切颠倒的妄想,就像把水倒入大海中一样。 水的湿性混合在一起没有差别,即使有圣人的智慧也难以分辨。 人人都能成为无量寿佛,稽首瞻礼的地方就是西方极乐世界。 《佛说观无量寿佛经》 宋朝西域三藏疆良耶舍翻译 我是这样听说的: 一时,佛陀在王舍城(Rajagrha)的耆阇崛山(Grdhrakuta)中,与一千二百五十位大比丘(bhiksu)在一起;还有三万二千位菩萨(bodhisattva),以文殊师利(Manjusri)法王子为首。当时王舍大城有一位太子,名叫阿阇世(Ajatasatru),他听从提婆达多(Devadatta)恶友的教唆,囚禁了他的父王频婆娑罗(Bimbisara),将他关在七重室内,并命令所有大臣,一律不得前往探视。国王的夫人,名叫韦提希(Vaidehi),她恭敬大王,沐浴清净后,用酥油和蜂蜜调和麦粉,涂抹在身上,在璎珞中盛满葡萄浆,偷偷地送给国王。当时大王,吃了麦粉,喝了葡萄浆,然后求水漱口;漱口完毕后,合掌恭敬,向耆阇崛山遥拜世尊,并说道:‘大目乾连(Maha Maudgalyayana)是我的亲友,愿您发慈悲,传授我八关斋戒。’当时目乾连像老鹰一样飞速来到国王所在之处;每天都这样,为国王授八关斋戒。世尊也派遣尊者富楼那(Purna)为国王说法。这样经过二十一天,国王因为吃了麦粉和蜂蜜,听闻佛法,脸色变得和悦。 当时阿阇世问守门人:‘父王现在还活着吗?’守门人回答说:‘大王!国王的夫人身上涂抹着

English version Transcending all realms of suffering. The pure and wonderful land is the realm of ultimate bliss, where one cultivates the three blessings and awakens the Bodhi mind. Those who contemplate in this way remain steadfast and focused, hence the teaching on the contemplation of Amitayus (Infinite Life) Buddha. Such merit is ineffable, and this ineffable merit is the wondrous light. Immeasurable purity and equality are bestowed, and the sentient beings of the five turbidities all attain Buddhahood. Severing all their inverted thoughts, like pouring water into the ocean. The wet nature merges without distinction, and even with the wisdom of a sage, it is difficult to differentiate. Everyone becomes Amitayus, and the place of bowing and paying homage is the Western Pure Land. 'The Buddha Speaks of the Contemplation on Amitayus Buddha Sutra' Translated by Tripitaka Master Jiangliangyeshe of the Western Regions during the Song Dynasty Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was in Mount Grdhrakuta (Vulture Peak) in Rajagrha (Royal City), together with a great assembly of twelve hundred and fifty bhiksus (monks); and thirty-two thousand bodhisattvas, with Manjusri (Manjushri) the Dharma Prince as their leader. At that time, in the great city of Rajagrha, there was a prince named Ajatasatru (Ajatashatru), who, following the teachings of his evil friend Devadatta (Devadatta), imprisoned his father, King Bimbisara (Bimbisara), confining him in a sevenfold chamber, and ordered all the ministers not to visit him. The queen, named Vaidehi (Vaidehi), respected the king, bathed and purified herself, mixed ghee and honey with wheat flour, applied it to her body, filled her necklaces with grape juice, and secretly sent it to the king. At that time, the king ate the flour, drank the grape juice, and then asked for water to rinse his mouth; after rinsing his mouth, he joined his palms in reverence, and bowed towards Mount Grdhrakuta, saying: 'Maha Maudgalyayana (Maudgalyayana) is my friend, I wish you to have compassion and bestow upon me the eight precepts.' At that time, Maudgalyayana flew like a falcon to the king's place; he did this daily, bestowing the eight precepts upon the king. The World Honored One also sent the Venerable Purna (Purna) to preach the Dharma to the king. After twenty-one days, the king, having eaten the flour and honey and heard the Dharma, his countenance became joyful. At that time, Ajatasatru asked the gatekeeper: 'Is my father still alive?' The gatekeeper replied: 'Your Majesty! The queen is applying --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

麨蜜,璎珞盛浆,持用上王;沙门目连及富楼那,从空而来,为王说法,不可禁制。”时阿阇世闻此语已,怒其母曰:“我母是贼,与贼为伴;沙门恶人,幻惑咒术,令此恶王多日不死。”即执利剑欲害其母。 时有一臣,名曰月光,聪明多智,及与耆婆,为王作礼。白言:“大王!臣闻毗陀论经说:‘劫初已来,有诸恶王贪国位故,杀害其父一万八千。’未曾闻有无道害母。王今为此杀逆之事,污刹利种,臣不忍闻!是栴陀罗,我等不宜复住于此。”时二大臣说此语竟,以手按剑,却行而退。时阿阇世惊怖惶惧,告耆婆言:“汝不为我耶?”耆婆白言:“大王!慎莫害母。”王闻此语,忏悔求救,即便舍剑,止不害母,敕语内官:“闭置深宫,不令复出。” 时韦提希被幽闭已,愁忧憔悴;遥向耆阇崛山,为佛作礼,而作是言:“如来世尊在昔之时,恒遣阿难来慰问我;我今愁忧,世尊威重,无由得见;愿遣目连、尊者阿难,与我相见。”作是语已,悲泣雨泪,遥向佛礼。未举头顷,尔时世尊在耆阇崛山,知韦提希心之所念,即敕大目揵连及以阿难,从空而来。佛从耆阇崛山没,于王宫出。 时韦提希礼已举头,见世尊释迦牟尼佛,身紫金色坐百宝莲华。目连侍左,阿难在右,释梵护世诸天在虚 现代汉语译本: ‘他们用麦粉和蜂蜜,以及装饰华丽的盛浆器,拿着去供奉国王;沙门(出家人)目连(佛陀的十大弟子之一,以神通著称)和富楼那(佛陀的十大弟子之一,以说法第一著称),从空中而来,为国王说法,无法阻止。’当时阿阇世(国王名)听到这些话后,怒斥他的母亲说:‘我的母亲是贼,与贼为伍;沙门是恶人,用幻术和咒语,让这个恶王多日不死。’随即拿起利剑想要杀害他的母亲。 这时,有一位大臣,名叫月光,聪明多智,和耆婆(名医)一起,向国王行礼。禀告说:‘大王!臣听说《毗陀论经》(古印度的一种论书)中说:‘从劫初以来,有许多恶王因为贪图王位,杀害了自己的父亲一万八千人。’但从未听说有不讲道义而杀害母亲的。大王现在要做这种杀逆之事,玷污刹帝利(古印度四大种姓之一,指武士和统治者)的血统,臣实在不忍心听!这种行为如同旃陀罗(古印度最低贱的种姓,从事被认为不洁的职业),我们不应该再住在这里。’这时,两位大臣说完这些话,用手按着剑,后退着离开。当时阿阇世惊恐害怕,告诉耆婆说:‘你不帮我吗?’耆婆禀告说:‘大王!千万不要杀害母亲。’国王听到这些话,忏悔求救,立刻放下剑,停止杀害母亲的行为,命令内官:‘把她关在深宫里,不让她再出来。’ 当时,韦提希(王后名)被幽禁后,忧愁憔悴;遥望耆阇崛山(佛陀常住的山),向佛陀行礼,说道:‘如来世尊(佛陀的尊称)过去常常派遣阿难(佛陀的十大弟子之一,以多闻第一著称)来慰问我;我现在忧愁,世尊威严尊贵,没有办法见到;希望派遣目连尊者和阿难尊者,与我相见。’说完这些话,悲伤地哭泣,泪如雨下,遥向佛陀行礼。还没抬起头,那时世尊在耆阇崛山,知道韦提希心中所想,立刻命令大目犍连和阿难,从空中而来。佛陀从耆阇崛山消失,在王宫中出现。 当时,韦提希行礼后抬起头,看见世尊释迦牟尼佛(佛陀的本名),身体呈现紫金色,坐在百宝莲花上。目连侍立在左边,阿难在右边,释梵护世诸天(佛教中的天神)在空中。
