佛在瞻波大城法會，說西方安樂世界阿彌陀佛，若人能持名號，臨欲終時，彼佛大眾往此人所，令其得見，見已歡悅。所生之處，永離胞胎穢欲之形，寶蓮華中自然化生。其國號清泰聖王，其城縱廣十千由旬，於中充滿剎利之種。阿彌陀佛父名月上轉輪聖王，其母名殊勝妙顏，子名月明，奉事弟子名無垢稱，智慧弟子名曰攬光，神足精進名曰大化，魔主名曰無勝，有提婆達多名曰寂靜。若人誦此鼓音聲王大陀羅尼，十日十夜六時專念敬禮彼佛，堅固正念，悉除散亂，念念不絕，十日之中必見彼佛，并見十方如來及所住處，唯除重障鈍根之人所不能覩（呪廣不錄）。

The Buddha, at the Dharma assembly in the great city of Campā, spoke of Amitābha Buddha of the western world of Sukhāvatī: if a person can uphold the name, when he approaches the end of life, that Buddha and the great assembly will go to that person's place and cause him to see them; having seen them, he will be filled with joy. The place where he is born will forever leave behind the form of the womb and defiled desires, being spontaneously born by transformation within a jewelled lotus flower. That country is named Śuddhavilāsa; its city is ten thousand yojanas in length and breadth, filled within with the kṣatriya lineage. Amitābha Buddha's father is named Candrottara, a wheel-turning sacred king; his mother is named Visiṣṭarūpā; his son is named Candraprabha; the disciple who serves him is named Vimalakīrti; the disciple foremost in wisdom is named Prabhādhara; the disciple foremost in psychic power and diligence is named Mahāpariṇāma; the lord of Māras is named Ajita; and there is a Devadatta named Śānta. If a person recites this Great Dhāraṇī of the Drum-Sound King, for ten days and ten nights, during the six periods, single-mindedly being mindful of and reverently worshipping that Buddha, with firm right mindfulness, entirely eradicating distraction, with thought after thought uninterrupted, within ten days he is certain to see that Buddha, and see the Tathāgatas of the ten directions and the places where they dwell, excluding only those with heavy hindrances and dull faculties who are unable to perceive them (the dhāraṇī is extensive and not recorded here).
