轉經行道願往生淨土法事讚 1.56

1.56

願往生願往生，眾生見佛心開悟，發願同生諸佛家。住此娑婆已來久，無功捨命劫塵沙，自覺心頑神識鈍，良由地獄臥銅車，銅車炎炎難居止，一念之間百千死。非直此中多苦痛，一切泥犁亦如是，泥犁一入過塵劫，畜生鬼道還如此。今得人身貪造罪，諸佛聖教生非毀，非毀聖教罪根深，謗說良善苦常沈。大聖雖有神通力，無能相救益悲心。今勸道場時眾等，發露懺悔罪無窮。眾等同心彼淨土，手執香華常供養。

May we be reborn, may we be reborn! Sentient beings, seeing the Buddha, have their minds awakened, and vow together to be born in the house of all Buddhas. Dwelling in this Sahā world for long now, we cast away our lives in vain through kalpas like sands of dust. We feel our own minds are stubborn and our consciousness dull, truly because in hell we lay upon the copper carriage; the copper carriage is fiercely blazing, unbearable to abide in, dying hundreds of thousands of times within a single thought. Not only herein is there great suffering, but all the narakas are also like this; once entering a naraka, dust-like kalpas pass, and in the paths of animals and hungry ghosts it is likewise. Now having attained a human body, greedy to commit sins, we give rise to slander against the holy teachings of all Buddhas. Slandering the holy teachings, the roots of sin run deep; defaming the good, we long sink in suffering. Although the Great Sage possesses supernormal powers, he is unable to rescue us, which only deepens his compassionate grief. Now we urge the present assembly in the bodhimaṇḍa: openly confess and repent of sins without end. Let the assembly unite their minds toward that Pure Land, holding fragrant flowers in hand, ever making offerings.
