持齋念佛懺悔禮文 1.21

1.21

Namo Amitābha Buddha of the Western Direction. Once entering the True Gate one never turns back; with palms joined and a focused mind, one sits upon the jewelled terrace. The waters of the eight virtues are ever full; on four sides lotus flowers encircle the Buddha. The Buddha emits light from the mark between his eyebrows, shining upon sentient beings of the lowest grade; the flowers open naturally. With the intention of rescuing all suffering in other directions, how daring to obtain on one's body the two-jewel robe! Universally encourage all the assembly in the bodhimaṇḍa: with undivided mind recollect the Buddha and enter the True Gate; may we, together with all sentient beings, be reborn in the Land of Peace and Bliss.
