轉經行道願往生淨土法事讚 1.50

1.50

願往生願往生，釋迦如來初發願，頓捨塵勞修苦行，念念精勤無有退，不限日月及歲年，大劫小劫僧祇劫，過踰大地等微塵，不惜身財求妙法，慈悲誓願度眾生，普勸歸西安養國，逍遙快樂得三明。眾等各各傾身心，手執香華常供養。

May we be reborn, may we be reborn! When Śākyamuni Tathāgata first made his vows, he abruptly abandoned worldly toil to cultivate austerities, diligent in thought after thought without retreat, unlimited by suns, moons, years, or seasons, through great kalpas, small kalpas, and asaṃkhyeya kalpas, exceeding the dust motes of the great earth. Not begrudging body or wealth to seek the wondrous Dharma, with a compassionate vow to deliver sentient beings, he universally urged them to return to the Western Land of Peace and Nurture, to wander carefree and joyful, attaining the threefold gnosis. Let the assembly each devote body and mind, holding fragrant flowers in hand, ever making offerings.
