往生禮讚偈 1.241

1.241

濁世難還入，淨土願逾深，
金繩直界道，珠網縵垂林。
見色皆真色，聞音悉法音，
莫謂西方遠，唯須十念心。
願共諸眾生，往生安樂國。

Hard it is to enter the defiled world again,
And the vow for the Pure Land grows ever deeper:
Golden cords demarcate straight paths;
Pearl nets hang loosely over the groves.
Whatever forms are seen are all true forms;
Whatever sounds are heard are all sounds of the Dharma.
Do not say that the West is far away;
It requires only the mind of ten recitations.
I vow, together with all sentient beings,
To be reborn in the Land of Peace and Bliss.
