(Amitābha Buddha) (Homage to Amitābha Buddha) > When seen, it is about to set like a suspended drum; (Amitābha Buddha) > Cause the mind to abide firmly, without rising or falling. (Amitābha Buddha) (Homage to Amitābha Buddha) > Second: Contemplate the water, originally clear and pure; (Amitābha Buddha) > Visualising the water turning into ice is easily accomplished. (Amitābha Buddha) (Homage to Amitābha Buddha) > Cause the ice to shine as lapis lazuli ground, (respond as before) clearly seen supported by jewelled banners. > Third: The jewelled ground is interlaid with yellow gold; flowers rain down during the six periods, filling the jade forests. > Their radiance divides and transforms into music in the sky; pipes and flutes can purify the practitioner's mind. > Fourth: The jewelled trees stand in sevenfold rows; spreading leaves and trailing branches display extraordinary colours. > Flowers and fruits are fully present in all four seasons; when the wind arrives beneath the grove, fragrances scatter further. > Fifth: One should contemplate the ponds of seven jewels, cool and with the eight virtues, unfathomable. > The currents in the channels are all water flowing over golden sands; atop the water, flowers bloom unendingly. > Sixth: One should contemplate the towers of various jewels, with pearl verandas and jade steps in the autumn of the azure sky. > When heavenly music plays, it echoes through the clear night; the subtle Dharma sounds exhort diligent cultivation. > Seventh: Contemplate exclusively the unfolding flower seat, with sandalwood-gold for petals and jade for the dais. > Above, jewelled banners are draped with nets of real pearls; adorned only to receive the Tathāgata. > Eighth: The precious image's colour is round and perfect; all ten thousand dharmas arise from the mind's visualisation. > If one sees his body seated upon the flower, profound samādhi is naturally accomplished. > Ninth: The body of the Dharma Lord Amitābha, whose marks, characteristics, and radiance are peerless; > He gathers in all sentient beings who recite the Buddha's name, his mind never abandoning those with karmic affinity. > Eleventh: Guanyin, the Venerable One bound to one last rebirth, his body equal to the Buddha's in visualisation, wonderfully hard to describe; > Carrying the Tathāgata on his crown with deep reverence, his compassionate light permanently abides in the gate of great compassion. > Eleventh: Shi Zhi of great, awe-inspiring might, assisting continuously and vibrating with the six supernatural powers; > Causing the world to shake where those who should be saved are found, his radiance constantly shines upon practitioners. > Twelfth: Contemplate oneself being reborn, the lotus flower opening and closing with utter clarity; > Sitting upright, serene and tranquil, with an unmoving mind, at the end of life one will see the Buddha coming to welcome them. > Thirteenth: The sixteen-foot purple-golden countenance; the true and the transformed have never diverged. > Merely cause the mind to contemplate clearly; the wondrous marks of the Dharmakāya will naturally loom majestically. > Fourteenth: People born here have exalted karmic practice; the superior grade has the three minds, of noble lineage. > The gate of understanding the hundred dharmas and the Ground of Joy; the power of the vajra samādhi becomes ever firmer. > Fifteenth: Being born among the nine grades, pure precepts perfumed the mind and karma began to harmonize; > Good friends instructed them to redirect their vows and abide; in an instant, unawares, they sit within the lotus palace. > Sixteenth: The lowest rebirth is the humblest station; karmic hindrances are hard to extinguish and wisdom is slow to develop. > Through ten recitations, though one abides for a kalpa within the lotus womb, when the flower opens one still attains awakening to the unconditioned. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.33](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2827.2.33) - [Next: 2.35](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2827.2.35) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2827.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2827~en-mt.2.34) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2827.2.34](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2827.2.34) · Pramāṇa
