轉經行道願往生淨土法事讚 2.38

2.38

「復次舍利弗！彼國常有種種奇妙雜色之鳥，白鵠、孔雀、鸚鵡、舍利、迦陵頻伽、共命之鳥。是諸眾鳥，晝夜六時出和雅音，其音演暢五根、五力、七菩提分、八聖道分如是等法。其土眾生聞其音已，皆悉念佛、念法、念僧。舍利弗！汝勿謂此鳥實是罪報所生。所以者何？彼佛國土無三惡趣。舍利弗！其佛國土尚無三惡道之名，何況有實？是諸眾鳥，皆是阿彌陀佛欲令法音宣流變化所作。舍利弗！彼佛國土，微風吹動，諸寶行樹及寶羅網出微妙音，譬如百千種樂同時俱作。聞是音者，皆自然生念佛、念法、念僧之心。舍利弗、其佛國土成就如是功德莊嚴。」

"Moreover, Śāriputra, in that land there are constantly various wondrous, multicoloured birds: white swans, peacocks, parrots, śārikas, kalaviṅkas, and jīvañjīvakas. Day and night throughout the six periods, these birds bring forth harmonious, elegant sounds. Their voices proclaim such teachings as the five roots, the five powers, the seven limbs of awakening, and the eightfold noble path. When the sentient beings of that land hear these sounds, they all become mindful of the Buddha, mindful of the Dharma, and mindful of the Saṅgha. Śāriputra, do not say that these birds are genuinely born from karmic retribution for wrongdoing. Why is that? That Buddha-land has no three wretched destinies. Śāriputra, in that Buddha-land even the names of the three wretched paths do not exist, how much less their reality? These birds are all created through transformation by Amitābha Buddha wishing to cause the voice of the Dharma to flow forth and circulate. Śāriputra, in that Buddha-land, gentle breezes blow, and the rows of jeweled trees and jeweled nets emit subtle, wondrous sounds, just like a hundred thousand kinds of music playing simultaneously. Those who hear these sounds spontaneously give rise to the mind of mindfulness of the Buddha, mindfulness of the Dharma, and mindfulness of the Saṅgha. Śāriputra, that Buddha-land is adorned with such virtues as these."
