3.59

渾渾三界,浩浩四生,俱稱火宅,
齊號群盲。昏茲永夜,長寐未驚,
聊裁短付,燭此幽明。法藏大願,
志存弘誘,孤標淨剎,號無量壽。
觀開二八,生歸一九,影響長弘,
千齡不朽。

Turbid are the three realms, surging are the four modes of birth;
All alike called a burning house, together styled the blind masses.
Darkened in this eternal night, in long slumber not yet awakened;
I casually compose this brief dedication to illuminate this obscurity.
Dharmākara's great vows were committed to widespread guidance;
Standing uniquely prominent is the pure realm, named Amitāyus.
Contemplation opens the sixteen [contemplations], rebirth returns to the nine [grades];
Their influence will long flourish, undying for a thousand ages.
