3.76

巍巍阿彌陀　已降生死魔　寶池珠林國
往生極樂多　巍巍阿彌陀　眾生念者多
能滅無明闇　相將出受河　巍巍阿彌陀
壽量實難過　八萬四千相　觀瞻越愛河
巍巍阿彌陀　眾生念者多　剎那登寶界
神淨永無魔　勝哉大勢至　悲願廣無邊
頂上瓶光照　諸子普皆憐　淨國琉璃地
珊瑚馬腦珠　金沙徹水照　嚴界悉如如
寶國寧無樂　金光盡是臺　摩尼明月照
時至自還開　人命如朝露　不得故遲遲
急急須勤念　彌陀迎接時　由因念佛故
所以滅愚癡　唯深三昧者　方應同正知
極樂法門開　眾生不肯來　只為無明縛
永劫受其災　不悟真如理　長時沒愛河
貪財常愛色　輪迴惡趣多　我常自嘆喜
深悟真如理　煩惱本來無　眾生妄見起
極樂甚精微　人人總不知　裏有彌陀主
相將禮拜時　欲識無生理　唯須念佛名
塵勞雲散盡　惠日朗然明　欲見真如理
唯須觀白毫　無明雲散盡　惠鏡朗然高
真如見無見　無見是真如　若了此中意
得名明月珠

Towering is Amitābha, / who has subdued the māra of birth and death. / In the land of jewelled ponds and pearl groves, / many are reborn in Sukhāvatī. / Towering is Amitābha; / many are the sentient beings who recite his name. / Able to extinguish the darkness of ignorance, / he guides them out of the river of suffering. / Towering is Amitābha; / the span of his life is truly hard to surpass. / With eighty-four thousand marks, / gazing at him in contemplation one crosses the river of desire. / Towering is Amitābha; / many are the sentient beings who recite his name. / In a kṣaṇa they ascend the jewelled realm; / with spirits purified, they are forever without māras. / Superior is Mahāsthāmaprāpta; / his compassionate vows are broad and boundless. / The light from the vase atop his crown shines forth, / pitying all his children. / The pure land has lapis lazuli ground, / coral, agate, and pearls. / Golden sand shines through clear water; / the adorned realm is entirely as such. / How could the jewelled land lack joy? / The golden light is all terraces. / Mani gems and the bright moon shine; / when the time arrives, they naturally blossom. / Human life is like morning dew; / one must not deliberately delay. / Urgently, diligently must one recite, / awaiting the time Amitābha welcomes. / Due to recitation of the Buddha's name, / ignorance is extinguished. / Only those deep in samādhi / can accord with correct knowledge. / Sukhāvatī's Dharma gate is open, / yet sentient beings are unwilling to come. / Merely bound by ignorance, / they suffer its calamities for eternal kalpas. / Not awakening to the principle of true suchness, / they sink into the river of desire for a long time. / Constantly greedy for wealth and cherishing sensual form, / they transmigrate much in evil destinies. / I often rejoice and marvel to myself, / deeply awakened to the principle of true suchness. / Afflictions are fundamentally non-existent; / sentient beings arise false views. / Sukhāvatī is exceedingly exquisite; / all people fail to know it. / Within it is the host Amitābha; / together they come to pay homage. / If you wish to know the unborn principle, / you need only recite the Buddha's name. / The clouds of worldly toil completely disperse; / the sun of wisdom shines bright and clear. / If you wish to see the principle of true suchness, / you need only contemplate the white curl. / The clouds of ignorance completely disperse; / the mirror of wisdom shines high and bright. / Seeing true suchness is seeing nothing; / having no seeing is true suchness. / If one understands this meaning, / it is named the bright-moon pearl.
