往生禮讚偈 1.328

1.328

中輩中行中根人，一日齋戒處金蓮，
孝養父母教迴向，為說四方快樂因。
佛與聲聞眾來取，直到彌陀華座邊，
百寶華籠經七日，三品蓮開證小真。

People of the middle grade, middle practice, and middle capacity
Observe the precepts for a single day and dwell on a golden lotus,
Filially support their parents and are taught dedication,
Having the causes of joy in the four directions expounded to them.
The Buddha and the assembly of Śrāvakas come to receive them,
Taking them straight to the side of Amitābha's flower seat.
Enclosed within the jewel flower for seven days,
The three levels of lotuses open and they realize the lesser truth.
