Namo Amitabha!
Namo Amitabha!
The Buddha's light shines bright through the universe
Awakening the lost and deluded in the dusty world
The Dharma rain flows with fragrance far and wide
Threefold wisdom blooms in blissful paradise
Blissful paradise
Vast clouds stretch over endless peaks
Disciples gather saints and sages meet
Morning bells and evening drums dispel confusion
Buddha's name and sutras cleanse greed and delusion
Namo Amitabha!
Namo Amitabha!
The Buddha's light shines bright through the universe
Awakening the lost and deluded in the dusty world
Chanting His name with unwavering devotion
Echoes resound through the Dharma realm
Dharma realm
The Three Jewels shower nectar on all beings
Nourishing parched hearts with blessings unseen
Namo Amitabha!
Namo Amitabha!
Together we board Amitabha’s great vow ship
Crossing the sea of suffering leaving worldly ties
With merits and roots of virtue fulfilled
The Buddha guides us to the Pure Land
Pure Land
Hearing and upholding the sutras blessed by the Buddha
The lotus of the Pure Land shall bloom at last
Lotus of the Pure Land
Namo Amitabha!
Namo Amitabha!
