Namo Amitabha!
Namo Amitabha!
The first light of dawn shines
Illuminating the path of cultivation
A single thought of compassion moves heaven and earth
Gathering virtuous bonds and taking refuge in the Three Jewels
Lost in the six realms one must know to turn back—
Fleeting splendor is but empty desolation
Namo Amitabha!
Namo Amitabha!
Chanting the Buddha's name the path homeward calls
Compassion blooms like a lotus bathed in Buddha's light
With single-minded devotion transcend the three realms
Returning by vow to liberate all beings
Namo Amitabha!
Namo Amitabha!
Through storms and hardships
Advance unshaken
One good deed draws countless others
Nourishing silently branches flourish in abundance
Namo Amitabha!
Namo Amitabha!
Free lives relieve suffering
Great love fills the world
Bestowing Dharma rain widely
Breaking free from afflictions
Awakening early from life's dream
Compassion blooms like a lotus bathed in Buddha's light
With single-minded devotion transcend the three realms
Returning by vow to liberate all beings
Namo Amitabha!
Namo Amitabha!
