English version Alas! Life is like a dream, vanishing in an instant. Wealth and glory are like fleeting clouds, and fame is like morning dew. The love of yesteryear turns into a burial mound in the blink of an eye. The splendor of the mortal world swiftly returns to woodcutters and shepherds. Moreover, the vast sea of karma is filled with the suffering of hell and Naraka. In the dark springs below, it is difficult to escape the iron face of King Yama. When wronged souls are brought to trial, the mountains of knives and trees of swords are not mere tales. Rebirth follows the cycle of karma, and the wombs of horses and donkeys are all evil realms. Only Amitabha Buddha (Amitabha, translated as 'Infinite Light Buddha') of the Western Pure Land has made great vows and aroused a compassionate heart to receive all beings and travel together to the Land of Bliss. Boundless light covers everything, and inconceivable merits adorn it. Pearl nets hang beautifully in the sky, and jade forests form boundaries. The gold and jade of the pavilions shine brightly, and the radiance of the precious land reflects the blue and yellow of the ponds. The lotus wheels are fragrant and pure, and the sounds of music are clear and melodious. Beautiful rain falls in abundance, playing the harmonious and elegant sounds of birds, all of which are the Dharma. Listening to the resounding sounds of the wind is the mind of enlightenment. This is the place for cultivating Pure Land practice, and it is also the power of Amitabha's vows. Those who are born in this land, single-mindedly recite the Buddha's name, and all nine grades of lotuses can ascend to the other shore. Have compassion for all beings, eliminate sins, and even ten recitations at the time of death can attain non-birth. Responding to the Buddha's welcome is superior to learning the Way through other methods. It is like raising a sail with the wind, able to quickly reach a favorable ferry. It is like carrying a stone with a large boat, avoiding sinking into the sea of suffering. With such a convenient method, do not hesitate. (Huai Ting) My temples are already frosted, and the road is long and I fear the setting sun. I deeply fear falling into the animal realm, and there is no way to save myself. If you want to get rid of filth and leave the world, diligent practice is the right path. One volume of the Amitabha Sutra (Amitabha Sutra) is the compassionate boat of salvation. A thousand recitations of the Buddha's name can lead to the path of enlightenment. The greed, anger, and ignorance of the past are difficult to eliminate for eons. Now, upholding faith, practice, and vows, the resources will be sufficient. I hereby express my long-held aspirations and dare to inform those with the same aspirations. Respectfully recorded by Xu Huai Ting, a lay Buddhist of Lejing, in the second month of the sixth year of Tongzhi, the year of Dingmao, at the age of sixty-nine. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version: The scripture spoken is based on the power of Amitabha's (Amitabha Buddha) vows and praised by Shakyamuni (Shakyamuni Buddha). Within its sequential paragraphs, there are exquisite ideas to be explored. Now, following the example of Prince Zhaoming of Liang in compiling the Diamond Sutra, this scripture is divided into twelve sections, each with a title, and the essential meanings of each section are noted below. Clearly analyzed and meticulously explained, it becomes clear upon opening the scripture. This scripture can be read in four major sections. The first section, in general, presents the two kinds of retributions: the circumstantial (依报) and the personal (正报). (Two sections) First, it explains the circumstantial retributions (sections three, four, and five), then the personal retributions (section six), concluding with four kinds of adornments, illustrating the supreme and wonderful nature of the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. The second section, concerning rebirth, first speaks of those already reborn (section seven), then those not yet reborn (section eight), concluding with the vow to be reborn in the Pure Land, illustrating that one should make a vow to be reborn in the Pure Land. The third section, concerning the scripture, first speaks of the Buddhas jointly praising (section nine), then the Buddhas protecting and mindful (section ten), concluding with faith and vow, illustrating that one should generate faith upon hearing the scripture. The fourth section, the Buddhas mutually praise the difficult and precious deeds (section eleven), using the difficult to believe to encourage deep faith, concluding the entire scripture, illustrating that sentient beings should eliminate doubts, generate faith, and be grateful for the Buddha's kindness. After hearing, one must make a vow; to make a vow, one must first believe, guiding layer by layer, with a heart of compassion. Careful examination and contemplation reveal endless meaning. This scripture takes the Buddha Land as the standard, faith and vow as the entrance, holding the Buddha's name as the actual practice, rebirth as the verification, and the scripture as the teaching. The headings are marked with squares □, the entrances with connected circles ○, the practices with double circles ◎, the verifications with double dots 丶丶, and the teachings with connected triangles △, to make them stand out. The 'Amitabha Commentary and Subcommentary' (弥陀疏钞) is a work by Master Lianchi (Lotus Pond) advocating the Pure Land and upholding the Dharma, extensively quoting and providing detailed evidence, totaling over 100,000 words, and is the most comprehensive and appropriate. Now, its essence is extracted and annotated under each sentence of the scripture, for easy viewing, and named 'Excerpts from the Amitabha Commentary and Subcommentary' (弥陀疏钞撷). May readers not forget Master Yunqi's (Cloud Dwelling) profound intention to benefit later learners. Layman Lejing respectfully notes: Section 1: Assembly Witnessing; Section 2: Buddha Land and Retributions; Section 3: Jeweled Trees and Lotus Ponds. (Note: Circumstantial Retribution (依报): The land and environment where sentient beings live. Personal Retribution (正报): The body and mind of sentient beings.) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
