First, the initial contemplation: the sun in the west (Amitābha Buddha); sit upright with body erect to dispel confusion (Amitābha Buddha, homage to Amitābha Buddha).
When seen, it is about to set like a suspended drum (Amitābha Buddha); keep the mind firm and unwavering, neither high nor low (Amitābha Buddha, homage to Amitābha Buddha).
Second, contemplate the water, originally clear and pure (Amitābha Buddha); visualize water turning into ice, a principle easily accomplished (Amitābha Buddha, homage to Amitābha Buddha).
Make the ice reflect as ground of lapis lazuli (Amitābha Buddha); distinctly seen supported by jewelled banners (Amitābha Buddha, homage to Amitābha Buddha).
Third, the jewelled ground interspersed with gold (Amitābha Buddha); throughout the six periods rain of flowers fills the jasper forest (Amitābha Buddha, homage to Amitābha Buddha).
Radiating light transforms into music in the sky (Amitābha Buddha); flutes and pipes can purify the practitioner's mind (Amitābha Buddha, homage to Amitābha Buddha).
Fourth, the jewelled trees in rows of seven treasures (Amitābha Buddha); spreading leaves and drooping branches of variegated light (Amitābha Buddha, homage to Amitābha Buddha).
Blossoms and leaves are ever complete through the four seasons (Amitābha Buddha); when the breeze stirs beneath the grove, fragrance drifts anew (Amitābha Buddha, homage to Amitābha Buddha).
Fifth, one should contemplate the ponds of seven jewels (Amitābha Buddha); pure, cool, with the eight virtues beyond conception (Amitābha Buddha, homage to Amitābha Buddha).
The channels flowing forth are all water over golden sand (Amitābha Buddha); upon the waters blossoms bloom without end (Amitābha Buddha, homage to Amitābha Buddha).
Sixth, one should contemplate the multistoreyed pavilions of many gems (Amitābha Buddha); pearl railings and jade stairways amid autumnal azure clouds (Amitābha Buddha, homage to Amitābha Buddha).
When heavenly music plays, it echoes in the clear night (Amitābha Buddha); subtle sounds of the Dharma exhort diligent cultivation (Amitābha Buddha, homage to Amitābha Buddha).
Seventh, contemplate intently the flowering throne opening (Amitābha Buddha); with jambūnada gold for petals and jade for its pedestal (Amitābha Buddha, homage to Amitābha Buddha).
Above the jewelled banners hangs a net of true pearls (Amitābha Buddha); adorned solely for the Tathāgata (Amitābha Buddha, homage to Amitābha Buddha).
Eighth, the jewelled image is completely clear and luminous (Amitābha Buddha); the ten thousand dharmas all arise from the mind's contemplation (Amitābha Buddha, homage to Amitābha Buddha).
If one beholds his body seated upon the blossom (Amitābha Buddha); profound samādhi is naturally accomplished (Amitābha Buddha, homage to Amitābha Buddha).
Ninth, the Dharma King Amitābha's body (Amitābha Buddha); marks, signs, and radiant light are without equal (Amitābha Buddha, homage to Amitābha Buddha).
He gathers in all sentient beings who are mindful of the Buddha (Amitābha Buddha); his mind never abandons those with whom he has affinity (Amitābha Buddha, homage to Amitābha Buddha).

The worlds tremble for those who ought to be delivered (Amitābha Buddha); radiant light ever shines on practitioners on the path (Amitābha Buddha, homage to Amitābha Buddha).

Sitting upright and serene with mind unmoved (Amitābha Buddha); at the end of life, one will see the Buddha coming to welcome (Amitābha Buddha, homage to Amitābha Buddha).
Thirteenth, the sixteen-foot purple-golden countenance (Amitābha Buddha); the true and transformed bodies have never been dual (Amitābha Buddha, homage to Amitābha Buddha).
Just let it be clearly contemplated according to one's mind (Amitābha Buddha); the wondrous marks of the Dharma body appear vividly distinct (Amitābha Buddha, homage to Amitābha Buddha).
Fourteenth, the practices of those born there are lofty (Amitābha Buddha); the three minds of the superior grade are of noble lineage (Amitābha Buddha, homage to Amitābha Buddha).
The gate of luminous discernment of the hundred dharmas, the joyful ground (Amitābha Buddha); the adamantine power of samādhi turns ever more firm (Amitābha Buddha, homage to Amitābha Buddha).
Fifteenth, those born dwelling in the middle grades (Amitābha Buddha); when pure precepts are recultivated, their karmic obstacles dissolve (Amitābha Buddha, homage to Amitābha Buddha).
Good spiritual friends teach them to direct their vows toward rebirth (Amitābha Buddha); in an instant, unawares, they sit in the lotus palace (Amitābha Buddha, homage to Amitābha Buddha).

Through ten recitations, though they abide in the lotus womb for kalpas (Amitābha Buddha); when the flower opens, they still realize the unarisen (Amitābha Buddha, homage to Amitābha Buddha).
