若人願得生安養，智者令人修觀想，
彌陀真身難以觀，初心且觀雕畫像。
想成相起心眼開，黃金色身如指掌，
一念橫截五惡道，誰謂無人令易往？

If a person wishes to be born in Peaceful Nurture,
The wise guide them to cultivate contemplation:
Amitābha's true body is difficult to contemplate,
So beginners should first contemplate a carved or painted image.
When the visualization succeeds and marks arise, the mind's eye opens;
The golden body is like looking at the palm of one's hand.
In a single thought, one horizontally cuts across the five evil paths;
Who says there is no one to make the going easy?
