English

English version The solemn and adorned Buddha-land is boundless and limitless, its boundaries defined by golden ropes, not crafted by artisans. It is skillfully and beautifully adorned by the vows and wisdom of Amitabha (Amitabha), with Bodhisattvas (Bodhisattva) and celestial beings scattering flowers upon it. In the treasure ponds, precious light shines, each ray transforming into countless lotus platforms. Each platform contains trillions of jeweled pavilions, and the sides of the platforms are surrounded by hundreds of billions of jeweled banners. May I, together with all sentient beings, be reborn in the Land of Bliss. With utmost sincerity, I take refuge in Amitabha Buddha (Amitabha) of the Western Pure Land. In the empty space above each platform, the solemn and precious music is also endless. Eight kinds of pure winds arise with the light, playing music at all times, responding to the opportunities for practice. Understanding the subtleties within this is somewhat difficult; whether walking, standing, sitting, or lying down, one must gather one's mind to contemplate. Except when eating, one should constantly remember Amitabha (Amitabha), so that one can attain the unconditioned state of Samadhi (Samadhi) and ultimately realize Nirvana (Nirvana). May I, together with all sentient beings, be reborn in the Land of Bliss. With utmost sincerity, I take refuge in Amitabha Buddha (Amitabha) of the Western Pure Land. In the treasure land, there are treasure forests, various treasure trees, treasure flowers, treasure leaves, treasure roots, and treasure stems. Some use thousands of treasures to distinguish the differences in the forests, while others use hundreds of treasures to form rows of trees together. The rows of trees are aligned, the leaves are arranged in order, the colors are different, and the light is also different. The heights are all the same, at three hundred thousand yojanas (Yojana), and the branches touch each other, speaking of the wonderful Dharma without cause. May I, together with all sentient beings, be reborn in the Land of Bliss. With utmost sincerity, I take refuge in Amitabha Buddha (Amitabha) of the Western Pure Land. There are seven layers of nets and seven layers of palaces, beautifully intertwined, with light reflecting each other. Transformed celestial children fill the space, and the radiance of their necklaces surpasses the sun and moon. Each row of treasure leaves has thousands of colors, and the blooming flowers are like spreading golden wheels. The vast light transforms into numerous jeweled canopies, manifesting boundless scenes in Buddha-lands as numerous as dust particles. May I, together with all sentient beings, be reborn in the Land of Bliss. With utmost sincerity, I take refuge in Amitabha Buddha (Amitabha) of the Western Pure Land. Treasure ponds, treasure shores, treasure golden sands, treasure canals, treasure leaves, treasure lotus flowers, all twelve yojanas are equally upright, treasure nets, treasure nets, treasure railings protect them. The meritorious water flows along the treasure trees, and hearing the sound of the waves and seeing the joyful scenes, one can attain a state of tranquility and detachment. A message to those who are destined to practice together: strive to awaken from delusion and return to your original home. May I, together with all sentient beings, be reborn in the Land of Bliss. With utmost sincerity, I take refuge in Amitabha Buddha (Amitabha) of the Western Pure Land. Each golden --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version On the path within the roped boundary, there are countless billions of jeweled pleasures and jeweled trees. Heavenly children scatter flowers and incense, and Bodhisattvas from other realms gather like clouds. Their number is immeasurable and beyond calculation. I bow my head to Amitabha (Amitabha), standing respectfully. The sounds of wind chimes and trees resonate throughout the void, praising the boundless virtues of the Three Honored Ones (usually referring to Amitabha, Avalokiteshvara, and Mahāsthāmaprāpta). 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 of the Western Pure Land. Amitabha's (Amitabha) original vow transforms into a magnificent lotus throne, all made of various jewels. Above the throne, four layers of jeweled curtains are spread. Amitabha sits alone, revealing his true form. The light emanating from this true form illuminates the entire Dharma realm. Those who are touched by this light will not regress in their minds. Meditating on Amitabha with focused attention during the six periods of day and night, one will experience joy like Samadhi (meditative absorption) at the moment of death. 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 of the Western Pure Land. Amitabha's (Amitabha) body and mind pervade the entire Dharma realm, his image appearing in the minds of sentient beings. Therefore, I urge you to constantly observe Amitabha, and according to your mind, manifest the image of Amitabha, personally witnessing his true countenance. This true countenance and jeweled image sit upon the lotus throne. When the mind opens and understands, one can see the magnificent scenery of the Land of Bliss. The jeweled trees manifest the three bodies (Trikaya - Nirmanakaya, Sambhogakaya, Dharmakaya), flowers are everywhere, and the music of wind chimes resonates along with the doors. 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 of the Western Pure Land. Amitabha's (Amitabha) body color is like a golden mountain, his excellent marks and light illuminate the ten directions. Only those who recite the Buddha's name are embraced by his light. It should be known that Amitabha's original vow is the strongest. The Buddhas of the ten directions extend their tongues to testify to this. By single-mindedly reciting Amitabha's name, one can be reborn in the Western Pure Land. Upon arriving there, the lotus flower opens, one hears the wonderful Dharma, and the vows and practices of the ten grounds naturally manifest. 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 of the Western Pure Land. Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva (Avalokiteshvara) possesses great compassion, having already perfected Bodhi, yet refrains from attaining enlightenment in order to save sentient beings. Within the bodies of all beings in the five realms, he constantly observes the three karmas (body, speech, and mind) of sentient beings during the six periods of the day and night, and provides corresponding salvation. The light emanating from his manifested body is purple-gold, his excellent marks are dignified and unparalleled. He constantly extends hundreds of billions of hands of the Light King, universally receiving those with affinity to return to their original land (referring to the Western Pure Land). 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 of the Western Pure Land.
