English version Inconceivable! The majestic light of Amitabha Buddha illuminates boundless realms. Sentient beings with affinity, touched by this light, increase their wisdom and transcend the Three Realms (the Desire Realm, the Form Realm, and the Formless Realm). The entire Dharma Realm tilts and sways like a spinning tumbleweed, with manifested Buddhas and Bodhisattvas filling the void. I universally exhort those with affinity to constantly recite the Buddha's name, forever severing the womb of reincarnation and attaining the Six Supernatural Powers (divine eye, divine ear, knowing others' minds, remembering past lives, divine feet, and extinction of outflows). May I, together with all sentient beings, be reborn in the Land of Bliss (Sukhavati). With utmost sincerity, I take refuge in and pay homage to Amitabha Buddha of the Western Pure Land. Sitting upright, entering Samadhi in the lotus position, visualize your mind riding on the recitation to the West, beholding Amitabha's Land of Ultimate Bliss, adorned with the seven treasures on the ground and in the sky. Amitabha's body is immeasurably vast. I repeatedly urge sentient beings to contemplate the small body (contemplate oneself). Amitabha's body manifests according to beings' capacities, appearing as sixteen feet or eight feet tall. The attendants transformed by the perfect light are equal to the true Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. May I, together with all sentient beings, be reborn in the Land of Bliss (Sukhavati). With utmost sincerity, I take refuge in and pay homage to Amitabha Buddha of the Western Pure Land. Those of the highest level of rebirth are those of the highest grade of the highest class, people of superior faculties, who seek rebirth in the Pure Land by severing greed and hatred. According to the differences in their practices, they are divided into three grades (upper, middle, and lower), continuously assisting the three causes (faith, vow, and practice) through the five gates (giving, morality, patience, diligence, and meditation). They diligently recite the Buddha's name for one day or seven days, and at the end of their lives, they ride a lotus platform, escaping the bonds of the six dusts (form, sound, smell, taste, touch, and dharma). How fortunate! Such a rare opportunity is encountered today, and they will forever realize the unconditioned Dharma body. May I, together with all sentient beings, be reborn in the Land of Bliss (Sukhavati). With utmost sincerity, I take refuge in and pay homage to Amitabha Buddha of the Western Pure Land. Those of the middle level of rebirth are those of the middle grade of the middle class, people of average faculties, who observe precepts and fast for one day, dwelling in a golden lotus. They are filial to their parents and teach them to dedicate their merit towards the Western Pure Land, explaining to them the causes of happiness in the West. The Buddha and his Shravaka (voice-hearer) disciples come to receive them, directly reaching Amitabha's lotus throne. After seven days in a lotus cage of hundreds of treasures, the three grades of lotus bloom, and they realize the small vehicle's true attainment. May I, together with all sentient beings, be reborn in the Land of Bliss (Sukhavati). With utmost sincerity, I take refuge in and pay homage to Amitabha Buddha of the Western Pure Land. Those of the lowest level of rebirth are those of the lowest grade of the lowest class, people of inferior faculties, who commit the ten evil deeds, the five rebellious acts, and other acts of greed and hatred. They violate the four major precepts, steal from the Sangha, and slander the true Dharma, never feeling ashamed or repenting of their past transgressions. At the end of their lives, all the painful signs appear, and the fierce fires of hell are before the sinner. Suddenly, they encounter a virtuous friend who encourages rebirth, urgently exhorting them to single-mindedly recite the name of that Buddha. The manifested Buddhas and Bodhisattvas immediately arrive, following the sound, and in a single moment of wholehearted devotion, they enter a precious lotus. Due to the heavy karmic obstacles of the three karmas (body, speech, and mind), the lotus opens after many kalpas (eons), and at that time, they begin to generate the Bodhi mind. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 生。往生安乐国。 至心归命礼西方阿弥陀佛。

English version: To be reborn in the Land of Bliss. With utmost sincerity, I take refuge in Amitabha Buddha (Amitabha Buddha) of the Western Pure Land. What bliss, what joyful events, are beyond comprehension. Boundless Bodhisattvas are my fellow students, and all the Tathagatas in the ocean of self-nature are my teachers. Yearning to hear Prajna (Prajna, wisdom) is like quenching thirst with the water of non-thinking; contemplating non-birth immediately ends hunger. All adornments are expounding the Dharma; without conscious effort, one naturally understands. One can enter the seven-jeweled lotus pond at will, and the eight classes of beings gather their spirits on a single lotus branch. Bathing my body and head with the heart-water of Amitabha Buddha (Amitabha Buddha), Avalokiteśvara (Avalokiteśvara) and Mahāsthāmaprāpta (Mahāsthāmaprāpta) Bodhisattvas drape me with robes. Suddenly soaring into the Dharma Realm, in an instant, I am bestowed with a prediction of Buddhahood, named 'Non-Action'. In such a carefree and blissful place, if I don't go now, when shall I wait? May I, together with all sentient beings, be reborn in the Land of Bliss. With utmost sincerity, I take refuge in Amitabha Buddha (Amitabha Buddha) of the Western Pure Land. Have compassion and protect me, so that the seeds of Dharma may grow. In this life and the next, may the Buddha always embrace me. May I, together with all sentient beings, be reborn in the Land of Bliss. With utmost sincerity, I take refuge in Avalokiteśvara (Avalokiteśvara) Bodhisattva of the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. May I, together with all sentient beings, be reborn in the Land of Bliss. With utmost sincerity, I take refuge in Mahāsthāmaprāpta (Mahāsthāmaprāpta) Bodhisattva of the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. May I, together with all sentient beings, be reborn in the Land of Bliss. With utmost sincerity, I take refuge in the pure great assembly of all Bodhisattvas of the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. May I, together with all sentient beings, be reborn in the Land of Bliss. Universally, for teachers, Sangha, parents, virtuous friends, and all sentient beings in the Dharma Realm, may we eradicate the three obstacles and together be reborn in the land of Amitabha Buddha (Amitabha Buddha). Taking refuge in repentance, with utmost sincerity, I repent. Namo, taking refuge in repentance before the Buddhas of the ten directions, may all roots of sin be extinguished. Now, I dedicate the merits accumulated over time, as the cause of happiness for myself and others. May all beings, at the moment of death, have auspicious conditions and realms appear before them. May I behold Amitabha (Amitabha), the Lord of Great Compassion, Avalokiteśvara (Avalokiteśvara), Mahāsthāmaprāpta (Mahāsthāmaprāpta), and the honored ones of the ten directions. I look up to the divine light to receive guidance, relying on the power of the Buddha's vows to be reborn in that land. Having completed repentance, dedication, and making vows, with utmost sincerity, I take refuge in Amitabha Buddha (Amitabha Buddha). Saying the verse. Having said this verse, one should further express from the heart and mouth. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
