淨土五會念佛誦經觀行儀卷中．下 3.81

3.81

淨剎西方好　人人道可怜　課功勤念佛
永得離人天　淨土有金園　心通悟色堅
彌陀皆攝取　普願坐紅蓮　蓮池碧色採
金花處處滿　玉戶洞清音　五濁慇勤別
西方共作期　莫迷生死苦　淨土致狐疑
妙閣紫黃金　瑠璃七寶林　蓮池花色異
菩薩上遊吟　淨域今時到　蓮花久已門
為承紅願力　一念坐蓮臺　淨剎壇金樹
其間寶網𩊭　時時出寶果　眾等志心觀
寶殿金樓閣　紅蓮生碧池　但知勤念佛
妙偈萬般詞　七寶為宮殿　金蓮合作臺
真心念佛者　總得上花來　彌陀極樂處
寶鳥作音聲　聽取聲中意　喚法入金城
孔雀佛前坐　鴛鴦遊戲吟　白鶴宮中舞
鸚鴣自彈琴　池水於前現　花林契法身
汝但持妙典　諸佛證成真　暫向臺邊坐
彌陀見我身　問言諸子等　好在往生人
蓮花一叢赤　復有一叢青　中間化生子
言語甚分明　欲得往西方　唯須念佛強
下心修淨業　巍巍入寶堂　極樂無燈火
隨形各自明　但知勤念佛　速得悟無生
世尊上寶樓　住在化城頭　願汝心清淨
努力早勤求　極樂前頭現　無明不見他
碎身勤懺却　慈主自來過　西方有寶樓
聖眾自來頭　音中常念佛　心裏說無生
諸佛乃隨身　迷人不自勤　眾等須勤念
心裏每常欣　妙剎心中現　都由淨業多
真心入三昧　永離苦娑婆　妙剎一念善
名字十方知　勤念彌陀佛　正是發心時
欲得求三昧　無過自攝心　身心莫間斷
慈主自來尋　極樂真國淨　餘方未得過
心心求三昧　入定見彌陀　池水金沙映
蓮花遍滿生　念佛人皆往　隨意任經行
欲求三昧樂　無過多碎身　真行世尊教
令眾見金身　諸佛成無漏　皆由累劫修
欲生淨土者　心裏自勤求　積寶如山岳
眾生不能求　內懷明懷鏡　不識一生休
寶閣金樓網　花雨滿池亭　清音七寶管
不弄自然鳴　佛力加持我　今朝出愛河
剎那生彼國　還此救娑婆　淨土金沙水
尋常遶佛流　有人入定見　歡喜更何憂
聽說人生者　池中是我家　乘蓮必自在
遊戲散天花　我今住三昧　蓮花色焰暉
心遊七寶殿　禮佛未能歸　有人欲擬退
蓮花葉便委　精心勤念佛　花色更增暉
苦海廣無邊　彌陀願力船　迎將生淨土
盡得坐紅蓮　淨土諸菩薩　因是苦勤修
花中得上品　一念十方遊

The pure land in the west is wondrous; / Everyone says it is lovely. / Diligently practice the recitation of the Buddha's name, / And you will forever leave behind humans and gods. / In the Pure Land there are golden gardens; / When the mind penetrates, it realizes the solidity of form. / Amitābha gathers all in; / We universally vow to sit upon red lotuses. / The jasper hue of the lotus ponds is bright; / Golden blossoms fill every place. / Jade gates echo with clear sounds; / Earnestly bid farewell to the five defilements. / Make an appointment together for the west; / Do not be deluded by the suffering of birth and death, / Nor harbor doubts about the Pure Land. / Wondrous pavilions of purple gold, / Lapis lazuli and groves of seven jewels. / The lotus ponds have flowers of varied hues; / Bodhisattvas wander and chant above. / Arriving now in the pure realm, / The lotus flowers have long opened their doors. / Relying on the power of the great vows, / In a single thought one sits upon a lotus dais. / In the pure land are trees of jambūnada gold; / Between them hang jewel nets. / From time to time they yield precious fruits; / Let the assembly contemplate with focused mind. / Jeweled palaces and golden pavilions, / Red lotuses grow in jasper ponds. / Only know to diligently recite the Buddha's name / With thousands of wondrous verses and words. / Seven jewels form the palaces; / Golden lotuses serve as daises. / Those who recite the Buddha's name with sincere mind / Shall all ascend the blossoms. / In Amitābha's Sukhāvatī, / Precious birds make sounds. / Listen to the meaning within their calls, / Summoning the Dharma into the golden city. / Peacocks sit before the Buddha; / Mandarin ducks playfully chant. / White cranes dance in the palaces; / Parrots pluck their own lutes. / Pond waters appear before you; / Blossom groves accord with the dharmakāya. / If you only uphold the wondrous scriptures, / The Buddhas will bear witness to your realizing reality. / Sitting briefly beside the dais, / Amitābha beholds my body, / And asks: "My sons, / Are all of you who were reborn well?" / A cluster of red lotuses, / And another cluster of green; / In their midst are transformationally born sons, / Whose speech is exceedingly distinct. / If you wish to attain rebirth in the west, / You must solely exert yourself in reciting the Buddha's name. / Cultivate pure karma with a humble mind, / And majestically enter the jeweled hall. / In Sukhāvatī there are no lamps or fires; / Each illuminates according to its form. / Only know to diligently recite the Buddha's name, / And you will quickly awaken to the unborn. / The World-Honoured One ascends the jeweled tower, / Dwelling at the summit of the conjured city. / May your minds be pure; / Strive early and seek with diligence. / Sukhāvatī appears right before you; / Ignorance keeps you from seeing it. / Exert your body and diligently repent, / And the Compassionate Lord will come on his own. / In the west are jeweled towers; / The noble assembly comes on its own. / Ever reciting the Buddha's name in song, / Within the mind they speak of the unborn. / The Buddhas follow one's person; / Deluded people do not exert themselves. / The assembly must diligently recite, / Always rejoicing in their minds. / The wondrous land appears within the mind, / All because of abundant pure karma. / Entering samādhi with a sincere mind, / One leaves the bitter Sahā forever. / With a single wholesome thought of the wondrous land, / One's name is known in the ten directions. / Diligently recite Amitābha Buddha; / Now is the very time to generate the aspiration for awakening. / If you wish to seek samādhi, / Nothing surpasses collecting your own mind. / Let neither body nor mind be interrupted, / And the Compassionate Lord will come to seek you. / Sukhāvatī is truly the pure land; / Other realms cannot surpass it. / With every thought, seek samādhi; / Entering absorption, behold Amitābha. / Pond water reflects golden sands; / Lotuses bloom everywhere in profusion. / Those who recite the Buddha's name all go there, / Freely engaging in walking meditation at will. / If you seek the joy of samādhi, / Nothing surpasses exerting yourself fully. / Truly practicing the teachings of the World-Honoured One / Enables the assembly to behold the golden body. / That all Buddhas have attained the taintless / Is entirely due to cultivation over repeated eons. / Those who wish to be born in the Pure Land / Must diligently seek it within their minds. / Piled-up treasures are like mountains, / Yet sentient beings cannot seek them. / Carrying a bright mirror within, / Failing to recognize it, their whole life is in vain. / Jeweled pavilions, golden tower nets, / A rain of flowers fills the pond pavilions. / Pure sounds from pipes of seven jewels / Sound naturally without being played. / The Buddha's power empowers me, / Today to emerge from the river of craving; / In an instant born in that land, / Returning here to rescue Sahā. / The waters over golden sand in the Pure Land / Ever flow around the Buddha. / If someone enters absorption and sees this, / Rejoicing, what further sorrow could there be? / Hearing of rebirth in human form— / The pond is my true home. / Riding the lotus, one is bound to be at ease, / Roaming playfully and scattering heavenly flowers. / Now I abide in samādhi; / The lotus colors blaze with radiance. / The mind wanders through the palaces of seven jewels, / Paying homage to the Buddha, unable to return. / If someone thinks of retreating, / The petals of their lotus will droop. / With focused mind diligently recite the Buddha's name, / And the flower's hue will glow with greater brilliance. / The sea of suffering is vast and boundless; / Amitābha's vow-power is the boat. / Welcoming and taking [beings] to be born in the Pure Land, / All come to sit upon red lotuses. / The bodhisattvas of the Pure Land / Extensively cultivated with diligence due to this; / Attaining the highest grade within the blossoms, / In a single thought they roam the ten directions.
