3.22
The precious verses clearly transform sentient beings; / The wondrous praise of the Contemplation Sūtra was completed in samādhi. / The five tempos are widely distributed throughout Jambudvīpa, / Looking forward to awakening to the unborn in Sukhāvatī. / Amitābha's precious praises are truly worthy of transmission, / Constantly serving as a Dharma boat for living beings. / Hearing the Buddha's name in five tempos brings liberation; / All at once they will sit on golden lotuses. / The five tempos of the west pervade the Sahā world, / Intended to make sentient beings recite the Buddha's name often. / In the jewelled land flowers bloom by thousands of myriads of koṭis; / How many Gaṅgā sands of people who heard the name have gone there! / A thousand kinds of music encircle the golden terrace; / Lotus flowers of a hundred jewels emerge from the water and bloom. / At each sound of the five tempos one must recite with urgency; / At the end of life, each and every one will be welcomed. / Boundless transformation Buddhas of purple-golden body / Protect and guard those who transmit the five tempos. / Thought after thought on Amitābha with non-retrogressing mind, / The fluttering jewelled seats will naturally welcome you.
