淨土五會念佛略法事儀讚 2.21

2.21

出家樂出家樂，無始起離諸著，今生值善割親緣，頓捨麁情斷眾惡，斷眾惡。發身心，依聖學，除於結使下金刀，落髮披衣食寶藥，食寶藥。懷法喜，加踊躍，誰其長夜睡重昏，此日清身忻大覺，忻大覺。出家安出家安，一切事不相忓，年登二十逢和尚，敬受尸羅遇淨壇。遇淨壇，修定慧證非難，悟若瑠璃明內外，妙喻蓮華恣總看。恣總看，稱釋子法門寬，出入往來無礙道，解脫道遙證涅槃，識涅槃。歸去來，寶門開，正見彌陀昇寶坐，菩薩散華稱善哉，稱善哉。寶林看，水鳥樹林念五會，哀婉慈聲讚法王，讚法王。共命鳥對鴛鴦，鸚鵡頻伽說妙法，恒歎眾生住苦方，住苦方。歸去來，離娑婆，常住如來聽妙法，指受西方是釋迦，是釋迦。歸去來，見彌陀，今在西方現說法，運度眾生出愛河，出愛河。歸去來，上金臺，勢至觀音來引路，百法明門應自開，應自開。

Joy of leaving household life, joy of leaving household life: from beginningless time, leaving all attachments! Meeting good friends in this life, cutting off familial ties, suddenly casting off coarse feelings, severing all evils—severing all evils. Arousing body and mind, relying on sacred learning, eliminating fetters as the golden blade comes down, shaving the head, putting on robes, partaking of the precious medicine—partaking of the precious medicine. Cherishing Dharma-joy, leaping with ever greater zeal: who would sleep in deep darkness through the long night? On this day, with purified body, rejoicing in the Great Awakening—rejoicing in the Great Awakening. Peace of leaving household life, peace of leaving household life: nothing clashes or interferes! Arriving at twenty years of age, meeting the upādhyāya, reverently receiving the śīla, encountering the pure altar—encountering the pure altar. Cultivating concentration and wisdom, realization is not difficult: awakening is like lapis lazuli, bright inside and out; wondrously compared to a lotus flower, freely surveying all—freely surveying all. Known as a son of Śākya, the Dharma gate is broad; entering and exiting, coming and going on the unhindered path; the path of liberation is boundless, realizing nirvāṇa—knowing nirvāṇa. Return, go home! The jeweled gates open wide: truly seeing Amitābha ascend the jeweled throne, while bodhisattvas scatter flowers and cry: "Excellent!"—cry: "Excellent!" Looking upon the jeweled grove: the water, birds, and tree groves recite in five tones; with plaintive and compassionate voices praising the Dharma King—praising the Dharma King. Jīvañjīvaka birds facing mandarin ducks, parrots and kalaviṅkas expounding the wondrous Dharma, constantly lamenting sentient beings who abide in realms of suffering—abide in realms of suffering. Return, go home! Leave Sahā behind! Constantly abide with the Tathāgata, listening to the wondrous Dharma; the one who points out and confers the Western realm is Śākyamuni—is Śākyamuni. Return, go home! See Amitābha! Now in the West currently expounding the Dharma, transporting and ferrying sentient beings out of the river of passion—out of the river of passion. Return, go home! Ascend the golden dais! Mahāsthāmaprāpta and Avalokiteśvara come to lead the way; the hundred illumination gates of phenomena will naturally open—will naturally open.
