Namo Amitabha!
Namo Amitabha!
Whose melancholy
Transforms into suffering emptiness and impermanence
Whose dreams
Weathered like the rings of time soaring with age
The Dharma rain’s pure flow
Cleanses the sorrows of the past
Namo Amitabha!
Namo Amitabha!
The chant of Buddha’s name
Brings happiness and peace
The light of the Triple Gem
Illuminates my path
Accompanying you in fragrance
Together we sail to the blissful shore
Lotus blooms in splendor
Blessings and wisdom bring serene nirvana
Who is toiling
Bathed in wind rain and snow
Who is watching
Bearing heavy burdens alone by the window
Compassionate deeds
Gather the growth of Bodhi
Namo Amitabha!
Namo Amitabha!
The chant of Buddha’s name
Awakens confusion and doubt
The lit heart’s lamp
Shines the Buddha’s light in all directions
Accompanying you on the journey
Returning together to the Pure Land’s bliss
Lotus blooms in splendor
Blessings and wisdom bring serene nirvana
Serene nirvana
