轉經行道願往生淨土法事讚 2.101

2.101

We vow to be reborn! We vow to be reborn! / The Buddhas of the zenith are like the sands of the Ganges, / likewise extending their tongue-marks for the sake of the Sahā world, / where the ten evils and five rebellious acts bring much doubt and slander, / and people believe in heterodoxy, serving ghosts, hungry spirits, and māras. / Delusively seeking grace, they believe they will have good fortune, / but disasters, obstructions, misfortunes, and calamities only multiply; / year after year they lie sick upon bed and pillow, / deaf, blind, with broken feet, and hands crippled and twisted. / Having served spirits and gods to obtain this retribution, / why not abandon it to recite [the name of] Amitābha? / Amitābha's vow power is entirely equal; / if only one turns one's heart, the lotus naturally presents itself, / in a single thought roving freely in the land of joy, / ultimately and eternally peaceful, free from retrogression. / May the entire assembly turn their hearts and vow to be born there; / holding fragrant flowers in hand, let us make constant offerings.
