The Buddha is in the Land of Utmost Bliss in the West; universally encourage all with one mind to be born in that single place. Without asking of noble or base, all are summoned and led; it is merely that common worldlings do not bring their karma to fruition. First, recollect the Buddha constantly without forgetting. Second, mind and mouth must always be aligned. Third, diligently cultivate the practice of the six perfections. Fourth, do not seek fame outside of the fruit. If one can be like this, conforming to the Buddha's will, the lotus flower of that land will face east; at the time of approaching the end of life, one goes directly there, following the Buddha through the six destinies to rescue sentient beings and be reborn in the Land of Peace and Bliss. Namo Amitābha Buddha of the Western Direction. Sentient beings of the six destinies cannot be saved; seeing the Buddha's light they do not give rise to the aspiration; Amitābha calls them in person yet they refuse to go. Ox-headed wardens of hell rush to meet them; when karma is fixed, even the Buddha's rescue does not exempt them, and the cauldron of boiling water and burning coals grow ever deeper. The Buddha hears: what sins did this person commit? Drinking alcohol, eating meat, and sexual misconduct. Universally encourage all the assembly in the bodhimaṇḍa: may you abandon this body of pus and blood in Jambudvīpa; may we, together with all sentient beings, be reborn in the Land of Peace and Bliss. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.19](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2829.1.19) - [Next: 1.21](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2829.1.21) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2829.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2829~en-mt.1.20) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2829.1.20](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2829.1.20) · Pramāṇa
