2.44
「國界平夷然,豐樂多上人。
寶樹若干種,羅列散相生,
本莖枝葉華,種種各異香。
順風日三動,翕羿如華生,
隨地如毛布,雜廁上普平。
一切無諸山,海水及諸原,
但有河水流,音響如說經。
天人入水戲,在意所欲望,
令齊水額眉,意願隨念得。
佛壽十方沙,光明普無邊,
菩薩及弟子,不可算稱量。
若欲見彼佛,莫疑亦莫望,
有疑在胎上,可令五百年。
不疑生基坐,叉手無量前,
願欲遍十方,須臾則旋還。
惟念彼菩薩,姟劫作功德,
本行如此致,得號增世尊。
佛興難得值,須臾會難聞,
講說土難遇,受覺人難得。
若後遭末世,法欲衰微時,
當共建擁護,行佛無欲法。
佛能說此要,各當勤思行,
受此無量制,世世稽首行。」
釋曰一切經,中有此禮文。
"That land is flat and even,
abundant and joyful, with many superior persons.
Jeweled trees of various kinds
stand arranged, scattering and growing together;
the roots, trunks, branches, leaves, and flowers
each have distinct fragrances.
Moving three times a day with the wind,
they flutter and rise like blooming flowers,
spreading over the ground like a woven carpet,
blending variegated colors, completely smooth and level.
It is entirely devoid of mountains,
seas, and plains;
there are only flowing rivers,
whose sounds are like the preaching of sūtras.
Devas and humans enter the water to play,
just as they desire in their minds;
letting the water reach their foreheads or brows,
their wishes are fulfilled in accord with their thought.
The Buddha's lifespan is as the sands of the ten directions,
his light is universally boundless;
the bodhisattvas and disciples
cannot be calculated or measured.
If you wish to see that Buddha,
do not doubt and do not hesitate;
those who doubt dwell in a womb-palace,
which can last for five hundred years.
Those who do not doubt are born on lotus seats,
joining their hands before the Immeasurable One;
wishing to travel universally throughout the ten directions,
they return in an instant.
Think only of that Bodhisattva,
who cultivated merit for countless billions of kalpas;
his original practices brought about such results,
that he attained the title of World-Honoured One.
An encounter with a buddha's appearance is rare;
a brief assembly is hard to hear;
a land of exposition is hard to meet;
persons who receive awakening are hard to find.
If later you encounter an age of decline,
when the Dharma is on the verge of fading,
you should unite to uphold and protect it,
and practice the Buddha's desireless Dharma.
The Buddha can preach these essentials;
each should diligently ponder and practice them,
receiving these immeasurable precepts,
and practicing them with head bowed in worship life after life."
Explanation: In the collection of All Sūtras, there is this liturgy of worship.
