3.14

釋迦悲智廣無邊　先開淨教利人天
菩薩聲聞無量眾　其時聽在給孤園
初告聲聞舍利子　吾今欲說汝應聽
去此西方十萬億　彌陀寶國紫金形
其國眾生極妙樂　永劫不聞諸苦名
勸汝當今稱彼佛　須臾即至寶蓮城
瓊林寶樹七重欄　眾等當須審諦觀
珠網層層千萬億　能令見者得心安
彌陀淨剎不思議　處處渠流七寶池
池中總是摩尼水　晝夜花開無盡時
四岸琉璃碧玉成　香風拂體覺身輕
寶閣樓臺千萬億　無邊菩薩盡經行
心心稽首法王家　專想彌陀發道芽
碧玉樓中聞妙法　黃金地上散天花
衣裓持花十萬億　聖眾塵沙受供同
一念還歸極樂國　永絕胞胎證六通
淨國彌陀寶鳥音　聞者皆生念佛心
此鳥寶非三惡趣　為令宣演法幽深
香風時動寶林鳴　處處唯聞念佛聲
聲中皆說無邊法　能令聽者證無生
彌陀壽量豈能知　國中人眾亦如斯
到彼皆同趺致位　永超生死證無為
善根福少理難容　七日須成淨土功
念念傾心於彼國　剎那便即坐蓮宮
彌陀願力不思議　莊嚴淨土甚希奇
六方諸佛同時讚　意令諸子斷狐疑
人命無常如剎那　永劫沈淪惡趣多
急急須專念彼佛　共汝相將出愛河
諸佛同心歎釋迦　能於苦海度人多
一一總令專念佛　生生常得見彌陀
如來說已阿難宣　普化群生被有緣
眾等須心須頂戴　弘斯淨教廣流傳

Śākya's compassion and wisdom are vast and boundless; / He first opened the pure teaching to benefit humans and gods. / An immeasurable assembly of bodhisattvas and śrāvakas / At that time listened in Anāthapiṇḍada's park. / He first addressed the śrāvaka Śāriputra: / "I now wish to speak, and you should listen. / A hundred thousand koṭis [of worlds] away to the west from here / Is Amitābha's jewelled land and purple-golden form. / The sentient beings of that land enjoy the most wondrous bliss; / Throughout eternal kalpas they do not hear the names of sufferings. / I urge you in the present to invoke that Buddha; / In an instant you will reach the jewelled lotus city. / Jasper groves, jewelled trees, and sevenfold balustrades— / You all should examine and contemplate them closely. / Layer upon layer of pearl nets, thousands of myriads of koṭis, / Can bring peace of mind to those who see them. / Amitābha's pure land is inconceivable; / Channels everywhere flow into the ponds of seven jewels. / The ponds are filled throughout with maṇi water; / Day and night flowers bloom without end. / The four banks are formed of lapis lazuli and jasper jade; / Fragrant breezes caress the body, making one feel light. / Jewelled pavilions and towers by thousands of myriads of koṭis; / Boundless bodhisattvas all practice walking meditation. / Thought after thought bowing the head to the family of the Dharma King, / Exclusively focusing on Amitābha to sprout the shoots of the Path. / In the jasper-green towers hearing the wondrous Dharma, / On the golden ground scattering heavenly flowers. / Holding ten myriads of koṭis of flowers in the folds of their robes, / The holy beings, numerous as dust and sand, receive offerings equally. / In a single thought returning to the Land of Sukhāvatī, / Forever cutting off the womb to realize the six supernatural powers. / The sounds of the jewelled birds of Amitābha in the pure land / Cause all who hear them to generate the mind to recite the Buddha's name. / These precious birds do not belong to the three wretched paths; / It is done to cause them to proclaim the deep and subtle Dharma. / When the fragrant breeze stirs, the jewelled groves resound; / Everywhere one hears only the sound of reciting the Buddha's name. / In that sound is preached boundless Dharma, / Which can cause the listener to realize the unborn. / How can the lifespan of Amitābha be known? / The assembly of people in his land are also like this. / Arriving there, all alike attain the avaivartika stage, / Forever transcending birth and death to realize the unconditioned. / With few roots of goodness and little merit, it is difficult to be accommodated; / In seven days one must accomplish the work of the Pure Land. / Thought after thought devote your mind to that land; / In a single instant you will sit in the lotus palace. / The power of Amitābha's vows is inconceivable; / The adornment of the pure land is exceedingly rare. / The Buddhas of the six directions praise it simultaneously, / Intending that all sons cut off their fox-like doubts. / Human life is impermanent, like a single instant; / For eternal kalpas one mostly sinks into the wretched destinies. / Urgently you must exclusively recite that Buddha's name, / So that together we may lead one another out of the river of attachment. / All Buddhas with one mind praise Śākya / For being able to deliver so many people from the ocean of suffering. / Causing each and every one to exclusively recite the Buddha's name, / Life after life constantly being able to behold Amitābha. / The Tathāgata having spoken, Ānanda proclaimed it, / Universally transforming all living beings to cover those with affinity. / You all must bear it in mind and carry it upon your crowns, / Promoting this pure teaching so that it circulates far and wide."
