向西日沒處，遙瞻大悲顏，
目淨碧海水，身光紫金山，
勤念必往生，是故稱極樂。
珠網珍寶樹，天華散香閤，
圖畫了在眼，願託彼道場。
以此功德海，冥祐為舟梁，
八十億劫罪，如風掃輕霜，
庶觀無量壽，長放玉毫光。

Toward the west where the sun sets, / From afar I gaze upon the countenance of Great Compassion:
His eyes are clear like the water of the turquoise ocean, / His body shines like a purple-golden mountain.
With diligent mindfulness one will certainly be reborn, / Therefore it is called Ultimate Bliss.
Netted pearls and precious trees, / Heavenly blossoms scattered over fragrant chambers.
Clearly before our eyes in this painting, / We vow to entrust ourselves to that place of enlightenment.
By means of this ocean of merit, / May the unseen protection serve as a boat and bridge.
The transgressions of eighty koṭis of kalpas / Are like light frost swept away by the wind;
May we gaze upon Measureless Life / Forever emitting the light of his jade curl.
