Namo Amitabha!
Namo Amitabha!
Frost dyes the autumn
Red leaves cloak the mountains
Companioned by twilight hues
Watching the surging crowds
Brilliant lights aglow
Namo Amitabha!
Namo Amitabha!
The sacred chant's wondrous sound
Calms the boundless waves of desire's sea
With steps of practice we press forward
Treading past rugged hardships
When inspiration surges
Stars emerge in flickering multitudes—
The ocean's embrace
The firmament's vast expanse
Emptiness is the dharma realm
Namo Amitabha!
Namo Amitabha!
The sacred chant's wondrous sound
Illumines the home of our hearts
Through the gloom of six realms
Sweet dew sprinkles our eyes
In an eternal instant
The shore of radiance
Namo Amitabha!
Namo Amitabha!
Steadfast in faith
We board the vow-fulfilling vessel
Sealed upon the nine-graded lotus throne
Sealed upon the nine-graded lotus throne
Namo Amitabha!
Namo Amitabha!
