淨土五會念佛誦經觀行儀卷中．下 3.44

3.44

琉璃為地映池青　念念須心至寶城
東城之人窮子苦　若生極樂樹珠瓔
眾生念佛莫狐疑　決定西方七寶池
每月課功千萬遍　迴願彌陀早已知
寶臺樓閣甚精微　到彼西方應自知
努力迴心多念佛　蓮花臺上共為期
清淨池裏寶蓮臺　淨剎香林映日開
慈主巍巍金色㗛　盡收念佛往生來
彌陀淨土甚難思　求者心中莫致疑
狀似雲中開浪日　超然獨坐寶蓮時
西方慈主甚巍巍　濁惡愚人豈得知
百寶合為千尺樹　摩尼明月照金池
鴻鸞宛轉遶池遊　諸天歌讚甚清幽
簫管空中為梵響　聞者咸同法性流
池臺樓闊巧能粧　珠珍寶樹自成行
碧水恒流於玉樹　瓊珂葉裏放金光
七寶蓮花出水來　氛氳菡萏正能開
課功作意由人進　念佛多者紫金臺
念佛之人求願往　直至西方七寶池

With lapis lazuli as the ground reflecting the green of the pond, / in thought after thought the mind must reach the jewel city. / The people of the eastern city suffer like the impoverished son; / if born in Sukhāvatī, the trees bear jewel necklaces. / Sentient beings reciting the Buddha's name, do not have doubts; / you are determined for the seven-jewel pond of the West. / Assign yourself a quota of thousands and myriads of times each month; / dedicating your vows, Amitābha already knows. / The jewel pedestals and multi-storeyed pavilions are extremely subtle and exquisite; / arriving in that West, you will naturally know. / Strive to turn your mind and recite the Buddha's name much; / let the lotus flower pedestal be our mutual pledge. / In the pure pond is a precious lotus pedestal; / in the pure land fragrant groves bloom reflecting the sun. / The Compassionate Lord, towering and golden, smiles, / gathering all who recite the Buddha's name to come and be reborn. / Amitābha's Pure Land is very difficult to conceive; / those who seek it should not harbour doubts in their minds. / It is like the sun breaking through waves of clouds; / when you sit detached and alone upon the jewel lotus. / The Compassionate Lord of the West is towering indeed; / how could defiled, evil, and foolish people know this? / A hundred jewels join into thousand-foot trees; / the bright mani moon shines upon the golden pond. / Great wild swans and luan birds circle and roam about the pond; / heavenly beings sing praises in deep tranquility. / Flutes and pipes in the air make brahma sounds; / all who hear them flow into the nature of phenomena. / The ponds, pedestals, and towers are spacious and skillfully adorned; / pearls, gems, and jewel trees naturally stand in rows. / Clear blue water constantly flows toward the jade trees; / within the jade-like leaves golden light radiates. / Seven-jewel lotus flowers emerge from the water; / fragrant and lush, the budding lotuses are just opening. / Completing the quota with focus depends on the person's progress; / for those who recite the Buddha's name much, there is the purple-golden pedestal. / May those who recite the Buddha's name vow to go, / straight to the seven-jewel pond of the West.
