觀無量壽佛經疏 3.25

3.25

"A praise says:
‘The adornments beneath the ground are seven-jeweled pillars,
Immeasurable, boundless, countless hundreds of millions.
Formed of a hundred treasures in eight directions and eight faces,
Seeing them, one spontaneously awakens to the Unborn.
The unborn jewel-land is forever permanent;
Every single jewel radiates countless beams of light.
Practitioners devotedly keep it constantly before their eyes,
Soaring in spirit, leaping with joy, they enter the West.’
Another praise says:
‘In the West is the bliss of peaceful, unconditioned serenity,
Utterly free and at ease, transcending existence and non-existence.
Great compassion perfumes the mind to wander through the dharmadhātu;
Dividing bodies to benefit beings, equal and without distinction.
Sometimes manifesting supernormal powers to preach the Dharma;
Sometimes manifesting marks and signs to enter the remainderless nirvāṇa.
Adornments transform and appear according to wish;
All sentient beings who behold them have their sins eradicated.’
Another praise says:
‘Return home! One must not linger in the realm of Māra.
Transmigrating for vast kalpas,
One has passed through every one of the six destinies,
Nowhere finding any other joy,
Hearing only the sounds of sorrow and lamentation.
After ending this single lifetime,
Enter that city of nirvāṇa!’"
