English version As if sitting upon a lotus throne, the heart opens to behold the adornments of that land. Precious trees are filled with the flowers of the Three Bodies (Dharmakaya, Sambhogakaya, Nirmanakaya), the music of wind chimes resonates in harmony with the scriptures. May I, together with all sentient beings, be reborn in the Land of Bliss (Western Pure Land). With utmost sincerity, I take refuge in Amitabha Buddha (Amitabha Buddha) of the Western Pure Land. Amitabha Buddha's body is the color of a golden mountain, his excellent features and light illuminate the ten directions. Only those who recite the Buddha's name are embraced by his light; know that his original vows are the strongest. The Tathagatas of the ten directions extend their tongues as proof, single-mindedly reciting his name leads to the Western Pure Land. Arriving at the lotus platform there, one hears the wonderful Dharma, and the vows and practices of the ten Bhumis naturally manifest. May I, together with all sentient beings, be reborn in the Land of Bliss (Western Pure Land). With utmost sincerity, I take refuge in Amitabha Buddha (Amitabha Buddha) of the Western Pure Land. Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva (Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva) possesses great compassion, having attained Bodhi, he withholds from realizing Buddhahood. Within the five realms of existence, at all six times (six periods of day and night), he observes beings and responds with the three wheels of teaching. His manifested body emits a purple-golden light, his excellent features and majestic demeanor are infinitely transforming. He constantly extends billions of hands of light, universally receiving those with affinity to return to their original land (true nature). May I, together with all sentient beings, be reborn in the Land of Bliss (Western Pure Land). With utmost sincerity, I take refuge in Amitabha Buddha (Amitabha Buddha) of the Western Pure Land. Mahāsthāmaprāpta Bodhisattva (Mahāsthāmaprāpta Bodhisattva)'s power is inconceivable, his majestic light universally illuminates without limit. Sentient beings with affinity, touched by his light, increase their wisdom and transcend the three realms (desire realm, form realm, formless realm). The Dharma realm shakes like a spinning tumbleweed, countless manifested Buddhas gather, filling the empty sky. Universally exhorting those with affinity to constantly remember Amitabha Buddha, forever severing the womb of rebirth and attaining the six supernormal powers. May I, together with all sentient beings, be reborn in the Land of Bliss (Western Pure Land). With utmost sincerity, I take refuge in Amitabha Buddha (Amitabha Buddha) of the Western Pure Land. Sitting upright in full lotus posture, entering deep Samadhi, with thought riding on the Buddha's name, one arrives in the West. Personally beholding Amitabha Buddha's Land of Ultimate Bliss, the ground and sky adorned with the seven treasures. Amitabha Buddha's body is immeasurably vast, again exhorting beings to contemplate a smaller form. Sixteen feet or eight feet, appearing according to beings' capacity, the perfect light and manifested Buddhas are identical to the true Buddha. May I, together with all sentient beings, be reborn in the Land of Bliss (Western Pure Land). With utmost sincerity, I take refuge in Amitabha Buddha (Amitabha Buddha) of the Western Pure Land. Those of the highest rank in the upper grade are people of superior capacity.

English version Single-mindedly seeking rebirth in the Pure Land, cutting off greed and hatred, Based on the differences in practice, it is divided into three grades: upper, middle, and lower. Continuously assisting the three causes of rebirth—faith, vow, and practice—through the five gates (worship, praise, aspiration, contemplation, and dedication). Using one to seven days to diligently and wholeheartedly recite the Buddha's name, At the moment of death, riding on a lotus platform to escape the bondage of the six dusts (form, sound, smell, taste, touch, and dharma). How fortunate to encounter such a rare opportunity now, Forever attaining the unconditioned Dharma-nature body. May I, together with all sentient beings, be reborn in the Land of Bliss (referring to the Western Pure Land). With utmost sincerity, I take refuge in and pay homage to Amitabha Buddha (Amitabha Buddha) of the Western Pure Land. Those of middle grade and middle practice, with medium roots, Observe precepts and fast for one day, dwelling in a pure lotus. Filially support parents and dedicate the merit towards rebirth in the West, Proclaiming to them the causes of happiness in the Western Land of Bliss. Amitabha Buddha and his Shravaka (Śrāvaka) disciples come to receive them, Directly arriving beside Amitabha Buddha's lotus throne. Enclosed by a lotus cage of hundreds of treasures for seven days, The three grades of lotus blossom, attaining the small vehicle's true fruit. May I, together with all sentient beings, be reborn in the Land of Bliss (referring to the Western Pure Land). With utmost sincerity, I take refuge in and pay homage to Amitabha Buddha (Amitabha Buddha) of the Western Pure Land. Those of lower grade and lower practice, with inferior roots, Committing the ten evils (killing, stealing, sexual misconduct, lying, divisive speech, harsh speech, idle chatter, greed, hatred, and wrong views), the five rebellious acts (killing one's father, killing one's mother, killing an Arhat, shedding the blood of a Buddha, and creating disunity in the Sangha), and filled with greed and hatred. Committing the four grave offenses (killing, stealing, sexual misconduct, and lying), stealing from the Sangha, and slandering the true Dharma, Never feeling ashamed, nor repenting of past transgressions. At the moment of death, all kinds of painful scenes appear, The fierce flames of hell are right before the sinner. Suddenly encountering a virtuous friend who encourages rebirth, Urgently exhorting them to wholeheartedly recite the name of Amitabha Buddha. The manifested Buddha and Bodhisattvas arrive following the sound, In a single moment of wholehearted recitation, entering the precious lotus. Due to the heavy karmic obstacles of the three karmas (body, speech, and mind), it takes many kalpas (aeons) to blossom, Only then does the Bodhi mind begin to arise. May I, together with all sentient beings, be reborn in the Land of Bliss (referring to the Western Pure Land). With utmost sincerity, I take refuge in and pay homage to Amitabha Buddha (Amitabha Buddha) of the Western Pure Land. The joy of the Land of Bliss is more than just joy; this joy is inconceivable, Boundless Bodhisattvas are fellow students, The Tathagatas (Tathāgata) in the sea of Dharma-nature are all teachers. Longing to hear Prajna (wisdom), cutting off the drink of thoughts, Contemplating the principle of non-birth, one can end hunger. All adornments are expounding the Dharma, Without deliberately understanding, one naturally comprehends. Freely entering the lotus pond of the Seven Factors of Enlightenment, The eight types of people (referring to the eight types of people reborn in the Pure Land) concentrate their minds, gathering on one lotus branch. Bathing body and mind with the heart-water of Amitabha Buddha, Avalokiteshvara (Avalokiteshvara) and Mahasthamaprapta (Mahasthamaprapta) Bodhisattvas clothe me with Dharma robes. Suddenly soaring and traveling in the Dharma realm, In an instant, being conferred with a prophecy, attaining the unconditioned fruit. Such carefree and boundless places, If I don't go now, when will I wait? May I, together with all sentient beings, be reborn in the Land of Bliss (referring to the Western Pure Land). With utmost -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 心归命礼 西方阿弥陀佛。
