淨土五會念佛誦經觀行儀卷中．下 3.61

3.61

彌陀起教在西方　正使傳來赴大唐
五濁界中策淨土　三塗道上建津梁
開示教門惟速疾　勸人方便散花香
極樂觀從心相見　閻浮業垢自消亡
行人努力勸觀佛　見佛當生七寶臺
一念疑心不生信　三塗萬劫被輪迴
淨土初門入似寬　求哀懺悔轉將難
為報化懷疑謗者　同來於此碎身看
彌陀世界甚輕安　信者皆須審諦看
相好佛身雖總見　就中偏取白毫觀
西方寶界廣嚴城　七寶池臺盡化生
歡喜園中佛說法　無憂樹裏鳥談經
觀音相好破諸邪　攝取蒼生入佛家
七日遣修極樂觀　觀成便得坐蓮花
無生極樂實堪求　同心往者莫悠悠
三昧忽然隨念得　觀音勢志是用流
西方淨土寶樓高　同心去者莫辭勞
一念正觀便即到　到時先上紫金橋

Amitābha established his teaching in the West, / And its rightful transmission has arrived in the Great Tang. / Amid the realm of the five defilements, he spurs [us toward] the Pure Land; / Along the path of the three wretched paths, he builds a ford and bridge. / His revealing of the gates of instruction is exceedingly swift; / He urges people as an expedient to scatter fragrant flowers. / Sukhāvatī is seen in contemplation from the marks of the mind; / The karmic defilements of Jambudvīpa vanish on their own. / Practitioners, strive to encourage contemplating the Buddha; / Seeing the Buddha, you will be born upon a terrace of seven jewels. / If a single thought of doubt arises and you lack faith, / You will be transmigrating through the three wretched paths for myriad kalpas. / Entering the initial gate of the Pure Land seems broad; / Seeking mercy through repentance turns out to be difficult. / To tell those who harbour doubt and slander: / Come together here, and see your bodies smashed. / Amitābha's realm is exceedingly light and peaceful; / Those with faith must examine it closely and carefully. / Though one may see the Buddha's body with all its marks and signs, / One should especially focus upon contemplating the white curl. / The jewelled realm in the West is a vast and adorned city; / The terraces of the seven-jewelled pools are filled with the transformationally born. / In the Garden of Delight, the Buddha preaches the Dharma; / Amid the aśoka trees, birds expound the sūtras. / Avalokiteśvara's marks and signs crush all heterodoxies, / Gathering in the common folk into the Buddha's home. / For seven days make them cultivate contemplation of Sukhāvatī; / When the contemplation is perfected, they will sit upon lotus flowers. / The unborn Sukhāvatī is truly worthy of seeking; / Those going with one mind, do not dally or delay. / When samādhi is suddenly attained in accordance with mindfulness, / Avalokiteśvara and Mahāsthāmaprāpta will act on your behalf. / The jewelled pavilions of the Western Pure Land are lofty; / Those going with one mind, do not begrudge the toil. / With a single thought of right contemplation, you will immediately arrive; / Upon arrival, you will first step onto the purple-gold bridge.
