2.76

We vow to be reborn! We vow to be reborn! / The Tathāgata Śākyamuni constantly praises / the Honoured Ones of equal enlightenment, numerous as the sands of the Ganges in the east. / In their great compassion to transform alike, their minds are not two; / the meritorious work performed by one Buddha is the same for many. / To sever the doubts, views, and attachments of ordinary mortals, / they all extend their tongue-marks covering the three thousand worlds, / together testifying to seven days of invoking the name, / and demonstrating that Śākyamuni's spoken words are true. / At life's end, with right mindfulness focused on Amitābha, / one sees the Buddha's compassionate light come to illuminate one's body; / mounting the power of this original vow of Amitābha, / within a single thought one enters the jeweled hall. / The jeweled hall is adorned boundlessly; / the transformation Buddhas and the holy assembly sit in contemplative thought. / The mind's nature is brighter than hundreds of thousands of suns; / compassion and wisdom run together as the eternal nature of phenomena. / Now that I have reached the unconditioned realm, / I universally vow that all sentient beings return to this realm. / May the entire assembly incline their hearts and all vow to go; / holding fragrant flowers in hand, let us make constant offerings.
