Namo Amitabha!
Namo Amitabha!
A single chant of the Buddha's name
Golden lotuses spring from the earth
The boundless red dust
Transforms into a mountain of lotuses
Blessings filling the world
Namo Amitabha!
Namo Amitabha!
A single chant of the Buddha's name
Free from anger and greed
On the ancient cooling path
We vow for rebirth in the Western Pure Land
Crossing the sea of suffering on the ferry boat
Namo Amitabha!
Namo Amitabha!
A single chant of the Buddha's name
The Buddha's power is inconceivable
Transcending the three realms
Firm in faith practice and aspiration
To the nine-grade lotus in the West
Namo Amitabha!
Namo Amitabha!
A single chant of the Buddha's name
Continuously purifying the mind
Boundless blessings and wisdom
Virtuous waters ripple with fragrant lotuses
Ultimately attaining true Nirvana
Namo Amitabha!
Namo Amitabha!
Samsara's shifting sands
Delusion chains the stubborn heart
Yet the heart blooms into a lotus mountain
The Buddha's radiant name illumines the cosmos
Entering great bliss
