English version: Countless Kotis (Koti: a unit of measurement, meaning ten million) of Bodhisattvas surround and welcome the practitioner, comforting their body and mind, causing them to be reborn immediately in the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, attaining the position of a Bodhisattva with the highest level of rebirth. Then, take a lotus seed rosary, place it in your hand, and hold the beads together with both hands in a gesture of reverence, like an unopened lotus flower. Consecrate it seven times with the Thousand-Turning Rosary Mantra. The mantra is: Om Vajra Yukhiya Jah Japa Samaye Hum After the consecration, hold the rosary above your head and make this vow in your heart: 'May all sentient beings quickly achieve their supreme worldly and other-worldly aspirations.' Then, place your hands at your heart, each with five fingers gathered like an unopened lotus. Hold the rosary in your left hand and move the beads with the thumb and ring finger of your right hand, reciting the Dharani once, moving one bead in time with the sound of 'Svaha'. The recitation should be neither too fast nor too slow, neither too high nor too low, and should not be spoken aloud. Pronounce each syllable of the mantra clearly. Visualize in your mind the Pure Land created by this Samadhi (Samadhi: meditative state), and the Amitayus Buddha (Amitayus Buddha) invited earlier, with perfect features, present in the mandala. Practice this visualization clearly and attentively, reciting without interruption, and avoiding distractions. In one sitting, recite either a hundred or a thousand times. If you do not complete one hundred and eight recitations, you will not fully express your vows. Because of the blessings of Amitayus Tathagata, your body and mind will be purified, and even with eyes open or closed, you will often see Amitayus Tathagata. You will hear profound and wonderful Dharma spoken in meditation, and in each word and each sentence, you will awaken to countless Samadhi gates, countless Dharani gates, and countless liberation gates. This body will be equal to Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva (Avalokiteśvara), and you will quickly be able to reach that land. After completing the recitation, hold the rosary above your head and make this vow: 'May all sentient beings be reborn in the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, see the Buddha, hear the Dharma, and quickly attain unsurpassed Bodhi (enlightenment).' Next, form the meditation mudra (hand gesture). Visualize the Bodhi-mind within your body, pure and bright like a full moon. Think further: The essence of the Bodhi-mind is separate from all things, without skandhas (aggregates), realms, or places, and separate from the taker and the taken. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version: Because of the absence of 'self', all things are equal in one aspect. The mind is originally unborn and unceasing, and its nature is emptiness. Because its nature is emptiness, on the perfect and pure moon disc, visualize the 'hrīḥ' (seed syllable) syllable-door. From this syllable, emanate immeasurable light. In each ray of light, visualize the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, with the holy assembly surrounding Amitābha (Immeasurable Life Buddha, as described in the Contemplation Sutra). After reciting and practicing Samādhi (meditative absorption) in this way, when you wish to leave the maṇḍala (sacred enclosure), form the mudrā (hand gesture) of the principal deity, recite the root dhāraṇī (mantra) seven times, and scatter the mudrā over your head. Then recite the mantra of praise. After praising, form the mudrā of universal offering, and recite the Extensive Unempty Maṇi Offering Dhāraṇī. Then offer arghya (water offering). Report all your wishes in your heart to the holy assembly, and pray that the holy ones will not violate their original vows and fulfill my wishes. After reciting, offering, and making vows in this way, form the mudrā of the fire court, turn it once to the left, and undo the boundary previously established. Then form the mudrā of the jeweled chariot, with the two thumbs pointing outward and flicking the tips of the two middle fingers, recite the root mantra, and send off the holy assembly. Then form the Samaya (vow) mudrās of the three families, reciting each mantra three times. Then form the armor protection mudrā, and imprint it on five places on your body. Then, facing the principal deity, sincerely make vows and prostrate to the Buddha. You may leave the maṇḍala and walk around as you please. You should always recite the Immeasurable Life Sutra, do not harbor arrogance, and diligently recite with joy. Make images of the Buddha, build stupas, and joyfully practice generosity. Uphold the precepts, practice patience, diligence, meditation, and wisdom. Dedicate all the merits you have accumulated, and together with all beings, be reborn in the Pure Land in the highest grade, attain the Ground of Joy, and receive the prediction of unsurpassed Bodhi (enlightenment). The Heart Mantra of Amitābha Tathāgata: Oṃ lokeśvara rājar hrīḥ Reciting this mantra once is superior to reciting the Amitābha Sutra once. Its merits are inexpressible, because this mantra is very secret and supreme, and can destroy all kinds of heavy karmic obstacles (cannot be fully explained). Oṃ amṛta-teje hara hūṃ This method is applicable to all the Lotus Family. The recitation method of Amitābha Tathāgata, reciting it 100,000 times will be complete, and you will be able to see Amitābha.
