2.37

釋迦調御大慈尊（阿彌陀佛）
救世先開淨土門（阿彌陀佛）（南無阿彌陀佛）
欲說莊嚴極樂國（阿彌陀佛）
其時正在給孤園（阿彌陀佛）（南無阿彌陀佛）
法輪將興多聽徒（准前）無量諸天大眾俱
第一聲聞舍利子　上乘菩薩是文殊
初告真宗當爾時　西方過此十俱胝
世界莊嚴名極樂　彌陀在彼不思議
其國眾生苦已除　清閑勝妙樂無餘
晝夜修行超八難　色相端嚴盡一如
七重行樹七重欄　寶蓋垂空寶網𮧢
但是有緣皆得見　慇懃學者用心觀
人至乘花坐寶林　天來奏樂曲幽深
六度已能調六律　八正還將和八音
寶池德水底砂新　蓮開光色似車輪
菩薩端然花上坐　看時總是往生人
彌陀淨土法王家　願力莊嚴發道牙
碧玉樓中飛寶座　黃金地上雨天花
收得天花衣裓盛　六通如意覺身輕
供養他方諸佛已　還來本國飯經行
眾鳥和鳴應六時　清音演法妙難思
五方五根并七覺　甚深八聖入無為
眾等同時聽法音　聞者皆生念佛心
化鳥本非三惡趣　彌陀宣暢法流深
微風吹動寶林清　響颺如天奏樂聲
一一更無宣別法　處處唯聞念佛名
彌陀壽量實無邊　國中人眾亦同然
成道於今經十劫　光照恒沙法界圓
菩薩聲聞眾甚多　為求解脫見彌陀
算數不能知量限　餘方諸佛亦來過
傳聞淨剎甚清真　盡是阿鞞跋致人
一生補處修三昧　證得金剛最後身
善根福少理難生　七日專須念佛名
若至臨終心不亂　彌陀決定自相迎
十號彌陀酬昔因　六方諸佛證成真
舌相廣長無妄語　如來護念信心人
世界無常難久留　唯須發願早勤求
已生當生皆不退　豈限今修與未修
諸佛同時讚釋迦　能於五濁救娑婆
說此世間難信法　咸令覺悟念彌陀
法藏敷陳義已圓　阿難從此演真詮
大眾俱欣皆頂戴　如來囑遣廣流傳

The Tamer Śākya, the Great Compassionate Honoured One, (Amitābha Buddha)
To save the world first opened the Pure Land gate. (Amitābha Buddha) (Homage to Amitābha Buddha)
Desiring to expound the adorned Land of Bliss, (Amitābha Buddha)
He was at that time in Anāthapiṇḍada's garden. (Amitābha Buddha) (Homage to Amitābha Buddha)
As the Dharma wheel was about to turn, the audience was vast; (respond as before) immeasurable devas and a great assembly gathered.
The foremost śrāvaka was Śāriputra, and the bodhisattva of the superior vehicle was Mañjuśrī.
When he first declared the true doctrine at that time: to the west, past ten koṭis [of Buddha-lands],
There is a world adorned, named Sukhāvatī, where Amitābha resides, unfathomable.
The suffering of the sentient beings in that land has already been eliminated; their leisure is supreme and wondrous, with bliss without remainder.
Day and night cultivating practice, surpassing the eight difficulties; their physical forms and marks are dignified, completely uniform.
Sevenfold rows of trees, sevenfold balustrades; jewelled canopies hang in the sky, and jewelled nets are tightly drawn.
All who have karmic affinity can see them; diligent learners, contemplate with single-minded devotion.
People arrive riding on flowers to sit in the precious groves; devas come to perform music of profound melodies.
The six pāramitās have already harmonised the six pitches; the eightfold noble [path] furthermore accords with the eight tones.
In the jewelled ponds of virtuous water, the sand at the bottom is fresh; lotus flowers bloom with radiance and colours like chariot wheels.
Bodhisattvas sit serenely upon the flowers; when observed, they are all people who have attained rebirth.
Amitābha's Pure Land is the household of the Dharma King; the power of his vows adorns it, bringing forth the sprout of the Way.
In emerald-jade towers, jewelled seats fly; upon the golden ground, heavenly flowers rain down.
Gathering heavenly flowers, they hold them in the folds of their robes; with the six supernatural powers at will, they feel their bodies light.
Having made offerings to the Buddhas of other realms, they return to their own land to take food and perform walking meditation.
The various birds sing in harmony corresponding to the six periods; their pure sounds expound the Dharma, wonderfully hard to conceive.
The five directions, the five faculties, along with the seven limbs of awakening; the profound eightfold noble [path] enters into the unconditioned.
The assembly simultaneously listens to the Dharma sounds; all who hear generate the mind to recite the Buddha's name.
The transformed birds originally are not from the three evil destinies; Amitābha proclaims and spreads the deep flow of Dharma.
Gentle breezes blow, stirring the precious groves with clarity; the resounding echoes resemble heavenly music being played.
Not a single one preaches any other Dharma; everywhere one only hears the name of the Buddha recited.
Amitābha's lifespan is truly boundless; the assembly in his land is likewise so.
Since attaining the Way, ten kalpas have now passed; his light shines upon Ganges sands [of realms], making the dharmadhātu complete.
The bodhisattvas and śrāvakas are exceedingly numerous; seeking liberation, they see Amitābha.
Calculations cannot fathom their limit; the Buddhas of other directions also come to visit.
Tradition has heard that the pure land is exceedingly pure and true; all are avaivartika persons.
Bound to one last rebirth, they cultivate samādhi, and realise the final vajra body.
With scarce wholesome roots and little merit, rebirth is difficult by principle; for seven days one must recite the Buddha's name with single-minded devotion.
If reaching the end of life one's mind is not disordered, Amitābha will definitely welcome them personally.
The ten titles of Amitābha recompense his past causes; the Buddhas of the six directions verify and establish the truth.
Their broad and long tongue marks utter no false words; the Tathāgatas protect and keep in mind those with faithful hearts.
The world is impermanent and hard to linger in for long; one must only make vows and early and diligently seek [rebirth].
Those already born and those yet to be born are all non-retrogressing; how could it be limited to whether one cultivates now or not?
The Buddhas simultaneously praise Śākya for being able to save Sahā amidst the five defilements;
Preaching this Dharma that is difficult for the world to believe, causing all to awaken and recite Amitābha's name.
The treasury of Dharma having been set forth, its meaning is now complete; Ānanda from this point on expounds the true teaching.
The great assembly rejoices and all receive it upon their heads; the Tathāgata entrusts it to be widely propagated.
