Namo Amitabha!
Namo Amitabha!
The wondrous Pure Land
Fulfilled by Amitabha’s vows
Forty-eight vows save all beings
Guiding at life’s end
Reborn from lotus flowers
The wondrous Dharma of faith and salvation
Namo Amitabha!
Namo Amitabha!
The wondrous Pure Land
Heavenly music fills the skies
Lotus blossoms bloom in splendor
Jeweled ponds with golden sands
Fragrant light adorns the realm
Joyful in body and spirit
Alongside steadfast Bodhisattvas
Namo Amitabha!
Namo Amitabha!
The wondrous Pure Land
Rows of treasure trees
A ground of pure gold
Divine birds sing harmonious hymns
Chanting the Buddha’s name hearing the Dharma
Namo Amitabha!
Namo Amitabha!
The wondrous Pure Land
Nets of light shimmer
Pavilions float in space
Melodies drift on gentle breezes
Miraculous powers at ease
Boundless assembly of Bodhisattvas
Namo Amitabha!
Namo Amitabha!
The wondrous Pure Land
Light and life like the Buddha’s
Attaining the stage of non-retrogression
A shared home for beings of all realms
Returning by vow
Delivering all sentient beings
To the nine-tiered lotus of peace
