Namo Amitabha
Namo Amitabha
Who froze the fleeting years into ice
Silently awaiting spring blossoms to grace
A wisp of longing
A bond from past lives
Tied into threads of this life’s embrace
Namo Amitabha
Namo Amitabha
Who merged emotions into a river of thought
Stirring vows as enduring as earth and sky
Guarding promises with longing eyes
Transformed into countless blessings
A smile weaving destiny’s tie
Namo Amitabha
Namo Amitabha
Who tethered longing’s thread to the moon
Sharing the midnight sky
Soft laughter drifting with clouds away
If you are well
My heart finds joy today
Namo Amitabha
Namo Amitabha
A chant of Buddha’s name
Clearing idle sorrow
Brightening the mind
Illuminating every corner dustless and clear
Namo Amitabha
Namo Amitabha
Buddha’s light unveils boundless skies
Dispelling gloom straight to the shore beyond
Each chant of his name
A golden land of bliss in sight
Palaces touch the heavens
Joyful songs of twin birds in flight
Namo Amitabha
Namo Amitabha
Washing away worldly dust so vast
Transforming mortal to sage at last
Buddha’s name a wondrous thread
Lotus blooms in nine tiers serene and steadfast
