English version Cloud-seas of various heavenly exquisite foods. Cloud-seas of various heavenly exquisite clothes. Cloud-seas of various maṇi (jewel) lamps and candles' light. Cloud-seas of various banners, canopies, treasure tents, and jeweled parasols. Cloud-seas of various heavenly exquisite music. Universally, towards all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas' assemblies, accomplishing true and vast offerings. All of these are due to forming mudrās (hand gestures), reciting this mantra, and making offerings, thus obtaining immeasurable accumulations of merit, like the boundless void. In lifetimes after lifetimes, one is constantly born within the great dharma (teachings) of all Tathāgatas (Buddhas), being born from a lotus flower, obtaining the five supernormal powers, and manifesting hundreds of billions of bodies. One is able to deliver suffering beings in the defiled world, bringing them peace and benefit. Immediately in this present life, one receives immeasurable rewards, and in the future, one will be born in the Pure Land. Next, one should purify the mind, stabilize the intention, and focus on a single object, visualizing Amitāyus (Infinite Life) Tathāgata, clearly and distinctly as if facing him directly. He is complete with all auspicious marks and qualities, along with immeasurable retinues and his kṣetra (Buddha-field). With every thought, one rejoices and admires, attaining samādhi (meditative absorption) in the present moment. With sincere and single-minded devotion, one vows to be born in that land, with the mind not changing its object, and thoughts continuously succeeding one another. Then, recite the praise of Amitāyus Tathāgata three times. The praise says: Namo (Homage) Amitābhāya (to Amitābha, Infinite Light) ya (oh!) (1) Namo (Homage) Amitāyuṣe (to Amitāyus, Infinite Life) (2) Namo (Homage) nama (obeisance) jñatya (wisdom) guṇākara-tmane (source of virtues) ṇī (leading) (3) Namo (Homage) Amitābhāya nirnayate munī (to Amitābha, the sage who determines) sukhā (happiness) vatīṃ (possessing) ya (to) nītavān (led) bhaya (fear) sukhavatīṃ (Sukhavati, the Pure Land) (kanaka-vicitra (golden and variegated) kā (of) nām (names) (6) Manoram (delightful) sugata (well-gone) suta (son) alaṃ (adorned) kṛ (doing) tām (them) (7) Tava śrava (your hearing) ya (to) dāpra (giving) pratīta-guṇa-śyāma (manifested virtues of dark blue) tā (of) (recited in various ways) pra (giving) ya (to) mitām (unlimited) maho-guṇa (great virtues) ratna (jewel) sañcayaṃ (accumulation) (9) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version: The practitioner, three times daily, should constantly recite this praise of the Buddha's merits, awakening Amitabha Tathagata (Amitabha, the Buddha of Infinite Light). Amitabha does not abandon his vows of compassion, and with immeasurable light illuminates and touches the practitioner, causing all their karmic obstacles and heavy sins to be extinguished. Their body and mind are peaceful and joyful, clear and serene. Prolonged sitting and recitation do not generate fatigue, the mind becomes pure, and one quickly attains Samadhi (Samadhi, meditative absorption). Immediately enter the Samadhi (Samadhi, meditative absorption) of Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva (Avalokiteśvara, the Bodhisattva of Compassion). Close your eyes, purify your mind, and visualize within yourself a perfect and pure white object, like a clean moon resting in your heart. On this pure moon, visualize the syllable 'Hrih' (Hrih, seed syllable) emitting great light. This syllable transforms into an eight-petaled lotus flower. On the lotus flower is Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva, with distinct and beautiful features. The left hand holds a lotus flower, and the right hand makes the gesture of opening petals. This Bodhisattva contemplates thus: In the bodies of all sentient beings, there exists this lotus flower of awakening, the pure Dharma realm unpolluted by afflictions. On each of the eight petals of the lotus flower, there is a Tathagata in meditation, seated in the lotus position, facing Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva, wearing a circular halo around the neck, the body like gold, shining with light. Then visualize these eight-petaled lotus flowers gradually expanding, becoming as vast as space. Then contemplate thus: With this flower of awakening, illuminate and touch the Buddha assembly (Buddha assembly, gathering of Buddhas), wishing to accomplish vast offerings. If the mind does not waver from this Samadhi, then deep compassion will arise for boundless sentient beings. Those who are illuminated and touched by this flower of awakening will be liberated from all suffering and afflictions, becoming equal to Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva. Then visualize the lotus flower gradually contracting, becoming the size of your own body. Then form the Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva mudra (hand gesture), blessing the four places: the heart, forehead, throat, and crown of the head. This mudra is formed by interlacing the hands outwards, with the two index fingers touching like lotus petals, and the two thumbs upright. Then recite the Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva mantra, saying: Om (Om, seed syllable) Vajra (Vajra, diamond/thunderbolt) Dharma (Dharma, the law) Hrih (Hrih, seed syllable) By forming this mudra and reciting the mantra, one's own body becomes identical to Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva, without any difference. Next, form the fundamental mudra of Amitabha Tathagata (Amitabha, the Buddha of Infinite Light). Interlace the hands outwards, make fists, and raise the two middle fingers, touching their tips, like the shape of lotus petals. After forming the mudra, recite the mantra of Amitabha Tathagata (Amitabha, the Buddha of Infinite Light). --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version: Recite the Amitayus Tathagata Dharani seven times. Seal with a mudra on the crown of the head and then disperse. The fundamental dharani of Amitayus Tathagata (Amitayus Buddha) is as follows: 『Namo ratna-trayāya. Namo ārya-Amitābhāya Tathāgatāya Arhate Samyak-saṃbuddhāya. Tadyathā: Om Amṛte Amṛtod bhave Amṛta-saṃbhave Amṛta-garbhe Amṛta-siddhe Amṛta-teje Amṛta-vikrānte Amṛta-vikrānta-gāmini Amṛta-gagana-kīrtī-kare Amṛta-dundubhi-svare Sarvārtha-sādhani Sarva-karma-kleśa-kṣayaṃ-kari Svāhā.』 This Amitayus Tathagata (Amitayus Buddha) Dharani, just reciting it once, can eradicate the ten evils, four grave offenses, and five heinous crimes from the body. All karmic obstacles will be completely eliminated. If a bhiksu (male monastic) or bhiksuni (female monastic) commits a fundamental offense, after reciting it seven times, they will immediately regain the purity of their precepts. Reciting it ten thousand times will attain the Samadhi (meditative state) of non-forgetting the Bodhicitta (the mind of enlightenment). The Bodhicitta (the mind of enlightenment) will manifest in the body, clear and bright like a pure moon. At the time of death, one will see Amitayus Tathagata (Amitayus Buddha) with. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
